No Annexation for Sir John.


HE DECLARES CANADIANS WOULD SACRIFICE THEIR
RIGHTS AS FREE MEN BY JOINING THE UNION.
At a banquet given to Hon. John Henry Pope
in Sherbrooke, Quebec, Tuesday night, Sir
John Macdonald declared strongly against an
nexation. He said:
1--WE have no reason to annoy any other
country, and as a mere matter of self-interest
it would not only be prejudicial but ruinous for
us to unite ourselves with the country to the
south of u.s..
Sir John went on, 'What should we
gain by a change? We might get little
more from our upper Canada barley Qaughter)
but on the other hand we should be
taxed from Washington, and would thus
forfeit our rights as free men. Are we going
to sell our heritage for such mess Of not,
tage?"

voivers, protected their property Thomas

SAID TO BE IN EUROPE,
Mr.. Mckee Reported to be far Beyond
the Equity Court.

1t was stated among lawyers at the City Hall
to-day that letter received here said that
MIR. Henry E. Mckee, the attorney in the
Choctaw claims case, had left Halifax
and joined his family in Europe
Mr.. Mckee was directed by the court here to
pay sum of money in his possession amount
ing to about 100000 into the registry of the
court. He had already deposited $40, 900, and
was directed to pay the 100000 pending
the settlement of litigation growing out of
the claims of various attorneys upon the
money paid by the Government on ac-
count of the Choctaw claim. Mr. Nc
kee, however, has not yet obeyed

Two Other Attempts.

LETTERS LIKE &URCHIsoNS SENT TO MINISTER
ROMERO AND GEN. FISK.
The New York World states that about the
first of last June the Mexican minister here re-
ceived from F. de P. Gonzales, an alleged citi-
zen of San Diego, Tex, letter similar to that
sent to Lord Sackvile, asking his opinion as to
which of the two parties existing in the
United States would be most favorable to
Mexico. Mr.. Gonzales said that he wished this
information in order to advise citizens of the
United States of Mexican descent how to vote
at the coming election.
Minister RomerOs reply showed that he knew
he had no right to give the information asked
and was adrOitly framed, as will be seen from
the following TRANSACTIONS:
WASHINGTON, June 4, 1888.
Mr.. F. de p. Gonzalez. Santiago, Dural County,
Te1ds.
DEAR SIR: have received YOUR letter Of Nav
n, in which you ask me which of the two par
ties existing in this country will be most ia
vorable to Mexico, with view to advising
the citizens OF your country of Mexican de-
scent to vote for that party at the next cleo
ton. As foreigner, and, above all, as the
representative of nation friendly to the
United States, l have no right to express
any opinion with regard to the
political parties existing here, especially when
that opinion might be taken as a basis for exer-
cising any influence on the most important act
of citizen, the election of his magistrates.
Although on former occasions, which, fortu-
nately, are long past, there were in this coun-
try many persons who desired the annexation
of Mexico, circumstances have now entirely
changed, and it may be said at present
that both parties are actuated By friendly
feelings toward our country, and that they
wish to maintain fraternal relations with us, to
draw them more closely and to increase their
commerce with Mexico. Both parties are con-
WINGED that by following this policy they are
promoting the true interests of the United
States. Your obedient servant, NJ Romero
He also took copies of both letters to the
State Department, where they are now on file,
in order that il the correspondence should be
published the correct status Of the affair would
be already known.
IT WAS TRIED ON GEN. FISK.
A similar attempt was made to entrap the
prohibition leaders, for, under date of August
IS last, one John L. Hoover wrote to Gen. G.
b. Fisk from Pomona, CAL, asking IL the pro-
hibitionists in California had not better vote
for the democratic electors, "doing so secretly,
OF course, and make California sure for Cleve-
land"
Gen. Fisk turned the letter over to Chairman
Dickie, of the national prohibition committee,
who replied that the course suggested would
be bad politics and bad MORALS and that Il
didU)t make any difference which one OF the
old Whisky parties defeated the other.
Mr. Dickie then autographed to Pomona and
learned that John L. Hoover is q pronounced
republican, and that his pretense of being 3
prohibitionist was-false.

Protectionists Alarmed.

The PrOtectionists are very anxious
about the Mills bill. They have been talk
ing confidently all along of defeating it.
They have lost their confident tone, and are
now apprehensive that 1t will pass Their
leading organ in Pennsylvania says that ''it
deems it a matter of public duty and safety
to apprise the country of the grave charac-
ter of the peril and to arouse it to just
sense of the impending danger"
The impending danger" to which this
organ refers is the danger to the monopo-
lists who have accumulated vast fortunes
by means of the high protective
tariff. The Mills bill promises relief. not
danger to the people. They are being
aroused to full sense of the burdens
which the present tariff imposes upon
them, and they want it reformed. Their
Representatives in Congress are beginning
to understand what they want, and hence,
the alarm of the Protectionists.
Some of the protection organs pretend &c
believe that if all the Democrats were &c
vote in accordance with their convictions
the Mills bill would be defeated They
know better than that. They even know
that great many Republicans would vote
for the bill if they were not prevented by
party discipline. Some of them will vote
for it notwithstanding the threats of the
leaders On Thursday one of them, Repre-
sentative Nelson, told his Republican asso
ciates some truths about the tariff. He
gave them to understand that the Republi.
cans of the Northwest want lower tariff.
They want cheaper necessaries of life, and
they don't want free whisky and tobacco.
No wonder the protectionists are alarmed.
Perhaps the few free whisky organs here in
the South will now grind out less cheerful
tunes
