india islands.

OTTAWA. Ont. November 1.-Governor
Smith, Of the:Leeward West India Islands,
arrived here yesterday to confer with tn
Dominion government regarding the exteu-
sion Of reciprocal trade relations betwee
Canada and those islands. The Dominion
government are considering tenders for q
monthly line Of steamers 20 run between
Halifax and the islands, which were called
for short time ago. Three years ago the
Dominion government sent special commits
sioner TO the West Indies to see what could
be done 10 the way OF developing trade be-
tween the Islands and Canada, la view of
the possible rupture In commercial inter-
course between Canada and the United
States, and decided to establish regular and
direct steam communication with those
tropical dependencies. Governor Smith says
the quantity OF fish and lumber the British
West Indies will taks from Canada can ke
greatly increased by the removal or lowering
Of the duty, which che Islands are prepared
10 do IL Canada will place their sugar, mo-
lasses and rum on the free list. He Is here
to talk the matter over with Sir John Mac
donald that the question Of some reciprocal
trade arrangement may be effected during
the approaching session Of the Dominion
Parliament and the Legislatures Of the Lee
ward Islands. Governor Smith says that
very large percentage OF the trade now car
ried on between the Leeward Islands and
| the United States will be transferred to Can
| ada upon the establishment OF a direct
| steamship connection and successful negO-
| tiation of q reciprocal trade tariff.

Cobb, the defendant in the criminal trial,
was kept on the witness stand for four

all letters he had written the daughter be de-
