NIAGARA, Ont, Aug 29.-rhere was q
large audience yesterday in the amphi-
theatre of the Canadian Chautauqua" to
hear Goodwin Smith, Erastus Wiman,
and Attorney General Longley (of Nova
SCOTIA, who spoke upon the relations
hereafter to exist between the United
States and Canada. Erastus Wiman pre-
dicted that the enforcement of the Nc
kinley bill would affect Canada to
greater degree than any other event that
possibly could occur short of downright
war, and result in strong movement in
favor of reciprocity. principally because
of the duties on agricultural products
provided in the bill He believed
that reciprocity was so strong in the
United States that Blaine, who he repre-
scented as the author of the idea, was
nearer the presidency than ever before

THE POPE RosUsTLY HEALTHY,
But Worried Over the Fall in the Church
barometer.

But worried over the Fall in the Church
Barometer.
LONDON, Aug. 29.-Recent advices from
the Vatican, believed to be entirely trust
worthy, report the pope rs healthy and
vigorous to a remarkable degree, consid-
ering his advanced age His holiness.
however, seems TO be much worried be-
cause of the steady diniinution of the "pe-
ter's pence" contributions The amount
of these voluntary offerings being a
species of barometer, indicating the CON
dition of the church universal at any
given time, the marked falling off now ex-
hibited does not fail to receive the anx-
ious attention of the head of the church.
Not Satisfactorily Explained.
His advisers endeavor to account for
the situation on the theory of the poverty
of the masses rather than on that of their
diminishing zeal for the pontiff, but this
explanation affords but cold comfort. The
decrease of revenue has become so marked
that his holiness has found it necessary to
withdraw certain investments in order to
meet the expenses of maintaining the
establishments whose cost has heretofore
been betrayed out of the Peters pence.
