cANADA,s RETALIATION BILL.
The Exchange of Natural Products with
 Blatant Demagogues."

Blatant Demagogues."
 OTTAWA, April 5-In the house of com mons yesterday, in answer to Sir Richard Cartwright, who inquired into the govern ment's policy concerning the retaliation bill now before the United States congress, Sir Charles Tupper, minister of finance, said that this bill had been introduced there under the mistaken impression that the Canadian gov ernment was unwilling to carry out the arrangement understood to exist concerning free exchange of natural products But the government having received official intima- tion from Washington that certain articles of natural produce had been put on the free list, an order in council had been passed providing for a like action on the part of Canada, and proclamation to this effect would appear in the next Official Gazette
 The alleged back down is creating lot of excitement in official circles here. It was made, it is stated, as the result of a remon- strance to the Imperial government through the British minister at Washington against the unfriendly course of the Canadian gov ernment in refusing to abide by their statutory pledges to admit free into Canada such ar ticles of natural produce as have been placed on the American free list. Notwithstanding the attitude of Sir John Macdonald on Wednesday last, when Hon. Peter Mitchell directed attention to their breach of faith and their protestations, that they never would be coerced into admitting certain natural products free of duty through threats of re- taliation, the government has been con- pelled to go back on its uttorance of last week. The interpretations based upon the standing offer clause by the minister of GUS toms and the minister of justice have been repudiated by their colleagues. The Montreal Gazette, the organ of the government, went so far as to editorially denouuce the Ameri- cans as 'blatant demagogues," and charged the Liberals with seeking to promote the in- terests of the United States at the expense of Canada. The opposition will bring the matter up in the house of commons this week.

A Blaze in Windsor Locks Destroys a
 Business Block.

A Blaze in Windsor Locks Destroys a
 Business Block.
 HARTFORD, April 5.-At about 10:3O last evening fire was discovered issuing from the rear windows of Patten's block on Main street in Windsor Locks. The building was built of light wood and before the local firemen could get stream on the flames the whole block was 'ablaze. Word was sent this city for aid and a steamer was sent out on special train Owing to the nature of the ground, great difficulty was experienced in unloading the engine, and it was not until 12:4O that that she got a stream on the fire. But when she did once get to work the fire very quickly died down. There was good deal of inf1am- mable stock in the building, however, and the flames were quite obstinate. The steamer returned to this city this morning. When the fire broke out an entertainment was in progress in Burnap's hall, for the benefit of St Mary's church. The cry of "Fire" caused a panic in the crowded hall, and several women tainted. Through the efforts of Constable Fogarty and Mccarthy serious in jury was prevented.
 The building was occupied by George w. Gates, general store, loss $2, 300 to $3, 900, fully insured; Clark's barber shop, fish market and Chinese laundry. The upper floors were used as tenements, and occupied by Mrs Fenton, Martin Fealey, Burke Crane and a Frenchman named Dolph. All these tenants, including the barber and the laundryman, saved nearly all their furniture, etc., and their com bined losses will probably not exceed $500. The building was owned by Dr Patton of Ellington, and was probably worth S5,O0O. pr Patton is reported to be fully insured. During the fire Patrick Johnson fell from a ladder badly bruising his leg.
