LOOKING AT HOME.
Canada Proposes to Protect Her Own
Industries In Preference to Foreign.

OTTAWA, April l2.
At 80 this morning the Senate concluded
the debate on Senator Works resolution ..
He said it would be unjust to the United
Kingdom 10 levy higher duties on goods i'm
ported from there than goods of the same
character imported from any other foreign
country. Abbotts amendment was adopted
SO to II. The amendment provides that it is
not to be in the interest of Canada TO estab-
lish entire reciprocity Of trade with any for
eign nation upon any conditions that would
restrict it with regard TO others. 1t provides
for entire freedom of action of this country
in protecting our Industries and in dealing
with our sources of revenue, and regulating
our foreign trade, as would necessitate the
adoption of duties discriminating against the
imports from other nations, and more espec-
tally the mother country, while at the same
time time any measure for securing reci-
procity trade with any foreign country in
such products of trade of the country as may
be freely interchanged with advantage to
both, would receive the favorable consldera-
ton of the House.

Nebraska, which was, twenty years ago,

Nebraska, which was, twenty years ago, a
state almost entirely without trees, now has
more than six million trees which have all
been set out by the residents of that State.
In 1872 that State was the first TO observe
Arbor Day BY Proclamation of the Governor.
and on that single hr.t arbor day in this coun-
try the citizens of that State planted twelve
millions Of trees. Such united effort in any
one day, by any people of an American state,
for the common good. was never before wit
messed in this country. The example Of
Nebraska rapidly spread to other western
states, and has gradually extended East until
nov there are thirty four states Of the Union
which annually observe this tree-planting
festival Maine will celebrate it this year

STEWART ARGUES WITH WIN
DOM,
Trying TO Persuade Him to Increase
the Monthly Purchase Of Silver.

Senator Stewart Of Nevada had q long in
terview with Secretary Window yesterday.
He tried to persuade the secretary to increase
the monthly purchase of silver as the best
way to reduce the surplus. Secretary Win
dom could not Gee how the surplus could be
repuced by giving cut greenbacks and get
ting silver in return.
He said he had some twenty millions OF
silver dollars in the treasury vaults, some Of
which he would be very glad to part with
The purchase of more silver would simply
be changing the shape of the surplus from
gold and paper to silver. Stewart made the
point that the purchase Of silver brought
millions of money from the treasury and
distributed it among the people.
Window stated that it was impossible to
take any action in the increased purchase
If silver until the subject was very carefully
weighed and considered BY the President and
discussed in cabinet meetings. 1t 10 under
stood that Nevada Senator will soon have
an Interview with President Harrison about
the matter.

Letter from Vessels Managers

NEW YORK, April ~.
To the General Managers of the New York
Associated Press. 1856 Broadway, \. Y. /;
Dear Sir.-As some of the comments on
the reported loss of the Danish steamer Dan
mark. have been accompanied by heavy
loss of lite, We beg leave 10 state, for the
benefit of all persons who have friends on
board the Inflated boat, our belief to the
contrary. When sighted by the City of
Chester, Monday last, the aft decks and the
sails were in pieces. The vessel was float
ing, although the reporting steamer ex.
pressed the belief that she would
shortly founder. This did not occur
during the time that elapsed from
the hour she was first sighted. Until she
was lost sight of the Danmark was floating
directly in the track of the transatlantic
steamers. We believe beyond peradventure
that the passengers and crew were taken off
some time, possibly as far back as couple
of days, before the City of Chester sighted
the wreck. since the Danmark having left
Christiana the 26th of March, should, un-
der ordinary circumstances, have advanced
considerably beyond the position found. If
wrecked the passengers and crew who might
not have been picked up would naturally,
even if embarked in boats and on RATS, have
remained in the neighborhood of the
wreck, the presence of which would be
much more likely to attract passing steamers
than small boats or RATS would. The City
of Chester evidently did not find the slight
est wreekage near the vessel attributable to
smashed or otherwise incapacitated boats,
whilst the steamer bore no sign of human
life. We confidently believe that with the
possible exception of single casualties such
as may occur during the transfer of so many
people from one vessel TO another, the pas
seBgers and crew of the Danmark are safe
and will ere long be heard Of as on board of
one of one of the trans Atlantic steamers.
