Erastus wiman surprised.

New York, Dec. 17.-Erastus Wiman was
greatly surprised by the Butter worth reso-
lutions, looking to the assimilation of Can.
ada with the United States. He had been
associated with Butterworth in efforts to
bring about union between the two coun
tries on purely commercial basis and But
terworth had, session or two ago, intro
duced measure with that end in view.
Speeches had been made by both Butter
worth and Wirlan, in various cities in the
United States and in Canada, in advocacy
of the "zollverein" idea, and every where
their views had apparently met with ac,
ceptance, and, in some places, with enthusi-
asm. ....
''The question of annexation had not been
discussed" said Mr. Winan to reporter,
though it is fair to say that Butterworth
had always maintained that political union,
if early practicable, was most desirable, nd
that eventually it would be brought about
Perhaps he regarded commercial union as
step in that direction. but reflection may
have convinced him otherwise, as not q few
think that trade once unfettered between the
two countries would give all the Canadians
desire At any rate, under pressure from
the leading people in his own party, Butter
worth has yielded, and has introduced reso-
lutions which, if passed, will be an invita-
tion to Canada to enter into political
union.n
what makes you think it was pressure
from party friends that induced Butterworth
to offer these resolutionsf'
simply" replied Mr.. Wiman, ''because,
had he not so moved, the Democrats would
have done So had most positive advices
no longer ago than Thursday, that the mat
ter had been freely dicussed in influential
Democratic circles in Washington, and,
knowing that the Republican party would
certainly adopt such move, it was proposed
to forestall the Inauguration of that policy
by Democratic proposal in the Democratic
house. Butterworth has but anticipated the
pronounced views of his friend, Senator
Sherman, and probably has been directly in.
spired by him; while his nearness and recent
visit to President-elect Harrison make his
action more than usually significant He
certainly would not have taken this step in
sense inconsistent with his previous record
had not an unusual pressure been brought
to bear on him.

The United States Steamers Galena and
Yantic Begin Their Voyage.
BROOKLYN, Dec l3.-Every preparation
was made to have the Galena leave her berth
at 10:30 a. m. The sailors were all at work
early putting every thing ship shape. Steam
was got up and the last thing to come
aboard were the admiral's traps. Her fore
and maintop masts were housed in or der to
avoid collision with the Brooklyn bridge
The wind was hiowing very hard at that
hour. A horde of reporters and seamen from
the other ships filed the dock
Everything was made ready, the signal to
start was given, and just as everyone was
prepared to give a mighty cheer it was dis
covered that the Galena's stern and port
bow were resting in the soft but highly te-
nacious mud, which forms the bottom of Cow
bay. A few Intellectual tugs were given and
then it was decided to wait for the rising
tide At the time of the attempted depar-
ture the tide was almost dead low. The
Yantic, at the ordinance dock. had steam up
and was prepared to follow the Galena.
When the tide finally made water enough
to float the Galena she was warped out into
the canal with the assistance of the navy
yard tugs, and getting under way steamed
out into the river and headed for the sea,
signalling to the Yantic to follow in her
wake. s..
Contrary to expectation the steamship
Clara Bell, of the Atlas line, which got into
her dock this morning, brought no news
from Hayti.

OTTAWA, Ont, Dec. 17.-Congressman
Butterworth's annexation resolution has
produced a profound sensation. 1t is dis
cussed from one end of the Dominion to the
other. The men who most strongly denounce
it or affect to treat it with contempt are the
Canadian officials Their life leases on COM
Portable incomes would be endangered by
annexation The Conservatives are afraid
of loss of power and will oppose it. Should
it develop greater strength than expected,
the Conservatives may possibly adopt com
mercal union and independence to check its
acknowledged growth.
The Citizen here and the Empire, of To-
ronto, government organs. and in fact all
the Conservative journals, assail it. They
call it an insulting overture" and charge
the Opposition leaders with having invited
it. The Opposition papers are careful to limit
their approval to close commercial relat ions
uHUll Uu6 SelJluloub JQe people Is more
fully developed. The Toonto Globe says:
'One thing can be said for Mr.. Butter
worth's curious proposal, its adoption by
congress would probably lead to a thorough
exposition and understanding of Canadian
opinion as to the project of political union
with the United States. We have no doubt
that the judgment of Canadians in the mat.
ter would be such as to cure our neighbors
of delusion that has long kept them from
trying to make the best possible of the po.
litical separation of the two countries"
There is not much doubt that the senti-
ment in favor of annexation is almost CO ex-
tensive with that OF close commercial union,
but neither politicians nor journals feel sure
of their ground as yet. The Butterworth
resolution brings annexation boldly to the
front for discussion.
Sir John A. Macdonald said Friday: 1.-THE
proposition Of Mr. Butterworth in its
present state, as I understand it, is purely
domestic matter There will be time enough
to discuss the proposition when it comes be-
fore us officially"
A leading commercial union member of
parliament told q reporter thatundoubtedly
the issue at the next general election would
be annexation, and that it was an open
secret that it would be the leading plank in

Hat Onions!

Billy Beane, of the Goshen, Ind,
Democrat, says that an educated and
accomplished lady came into the office
few years ago, and wished him to
publish the fact that fresh butter was
an almost infailible cure for piles. The
other day u prominent physician was
seen buying barrel of onions, and,
being guyed about his purcease, said:
II always have boiled onions for dinner
for the benefit of my children. I like
onions, too. They are the best medi-
cine know of for preventing colds.
Feed onions raw, boiled or baked to the
children three or four times week and
they will grow up healthy and strong.
No'worms, no scarletina, no diphtheria
where children eat plentifully of onions
every day." Another distinguished
physician confirmed the foregoing
statement, adding: II couldn't give
better advice, no matter how hard ]
might try"
