CANADA BESTING US.
At east That Is the Opinion of the Se'
retarv of State

At Least That Is the Opinion of the Sec
retary of State.
WASHINGTON, Special Telegram, Nov. 1S
1t is said that Secretary Blaine is not alto,
gether pleased with the manner in which
the Canadian government is conducting
itself regarding the various matters that the
two countries are interested in.
The seal fisheries is one of the most diff.
cult problems that the state department has
to consider, and as it is shown that the
Canadian poachers have secured about twice
as many seals as the authorized company
which secured the sealing privileges of the
Alaskan islands, there is talk that this com.
panY will throw up its contract and demand
restitution from the United States.
Secretary Blaine has also encountered
some opposition from the Canadians in the
negotiations he has had with the South
American and WIst Indian governments
relative to reciprocity. Agents have been
and South American countries offering
: reciprocity advantages to them in exchange
for the goods produced by the Canadian
,armers. These two diplomatic difficulties
have agitated the secretary aid>they ex'
plain the reasons why he gave voice to the
opinions relative to the advantages which
Canadian railroads secured rom the United
States in the matter OF shipment of goods
in bond to and from this country at the
hearing before Secretary Window last
week.
Eecretary Blaine is understood to believe
that Canada, through the railroad connec
tions and by 1tttae ttaaee-w -warship bluff in BehrinE
sea, is getting the best ct the Unltea- States

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 18-The w. c. T. U.

ents of different departments. Then cam,
the election of officers, which resulted il
the reelection OF all the old officers, as .ol-

President, Frances E. Willard; Mrs. Caroline
Woodbridge, recording secretary; Miss Pugh,
treasurer.
Resolutions endorsing Senator Blair and
urging his reelection were introduced and
created little excitement An effort was
made to have that part referring to his re-
election stricken out and there was an ami
mated discussion. Finally the matter went
to the committee on resolutions.
The board of trustees OF what is known as

Denial of the Report Regarding the Ar
genuine Agency.
LONDON, Nov. 1S.-The Times, in its finan-
cial article, declares that the statement that
the Argentine agency will be transferred to
the RothschiIds is without foundation.
The Times learns that Russia has given
notice to the Barings of the withdrawal i'll
three ipstalments of FL, 100000 of Russian
funds, the first instalment to be due about
the middle of December and the second in
January The whole of Russia's deposit Of
e., ,44O, 600 is therefore still with the Barings.
The latter decided to ask for assistance, not
on account of Russia's action, but on re-
view of the whole position.
At meeting of joint stock bankers at tie
Rank of England, the governor of the lat
ter institution in aletter promised assistance
wherever justfable and needed. In view
of the pinch through the country. bankers
are withdrawing their balances. The meet
ing OF country bankers to be held shortly
will probably tend to allay the inner cur
rent of anxiety.
The Bar1ngs' share in the Buenos Ayres
water and drainage syndicate is FL, 400, 600.
Their responsibility also extends to the liza
bilities OF other members of the syndicate
in the event of their failure to meet their
engagements. The report that meeting
has been held at which a scheme was de-
vised to prop up Argentine credit is de-
ared to be untrue.

TOO HUNGRY TO FIGHT.
Col. COrbin's Opinion of the Condition
of the Indians.


of the Indians.
CHICAGO. Nov. 18.-Gen. Miles, accom-
panied by Assistant Adjutant General Cor
bin, returned from st. Louis this morning.
Gen. Miles was in consultation with Secre-
tary of War Proctor about the alleged In
dian outbreak in the Northwest. Col. Cor
bin said:
We are disposed to regard the reports as
greatly exaggerated, and the secretary Of war
appears to be Of the same mind. There is no
doubt if the Indians were to decide upon an out
break they could do much harm. They have
abundance of rifles and ammunition, and plenty
OF horses and large supplies of meat. In fact,
they are i'll GOOD condition to go to war. But
winter Is now coming on. and ! hardly think
there is immediate danger of an outbreak.
The stories of evacuation OF the settlers in
North Dakota are overdrawn. few weak and
fearful residents. fearing the vengeance Of the
redskins, may have left their homes to await
the outcome of the difficulty, but the rumor
that there has been wholesale evacuation is
absolutely without foundation. We have made
careful estimate OF the number afflicted by the
Messiah craze, and there are in all not to exceed
81 900 Indians. Of this number perhaps one
fifth are able bodied warriors, and One-hah of
the whole number, or at least Is 900, could
bear arms. Such a body of Indians could do
much harm il their movements were not prop
erly arrested, but we have taken measures to
intercept any outbreak.
Gen. Ruger was ordered to the scene from St.
Paul three days ago, and is in easy commuuica-
ton with reinforcements. The Indians will not
fight because they are hungry, for they we'll
supplied by the government, but if they do get
to war 1t will be on account of the strange su-
perstition that now possesses them.

no Truth in the hulnOf Regarding MIS-
sissippi Valley Lumbermen.
EAU CLAIRE, Special Telegram, Nov. 49,
Lu nbermen here are astounded to learn
from sensational articles with scare heads
in Burlington Qowa) papers that gigantic
trust has been formed in the Mississippi
valley which is to concentrate its opera
tons st Eau Claire, and from this point
supply Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, the Da-
kotas and Kansas put up the price of lum-
ber to extravagant figures, and cause all the
saw mills on the Mississippi below Eau
Claire to shut down or be removed to Eau
Claire.
The cause of all this furore is that the
Eau Claire lumbermen have succeeded in
bringing nearly to a crisis their long strug-
gle for adjustment of freight differentials
from Eau Claire to Missouri river points,
and there is reason to believe the interstate
commerce commission will act favorably
to Eau Claire and give the lumbermen of
Chippewa valley fair and equal chance at
the Southwestern markets.
There is no gigantic combination here, as
stated. The only combination has been
one to raise money and hire attorneys to
get the matter before the commission, and
the down-river lunIbermen did the same
thing on their own behalf at their meeting
at Keokuk last Friday.

KANSAS Cry, Nov. 1S.-Early this morn
ing freight train of six cars and an engine
of the Kansas City, Wyandotte & North
western, just entering the city from Be-
atriee, Neb., plunged through bridge and
down into the muddy depths of the Kaw
river near its mouth in Kansas City, Kan.
No one knows yet how many persons
were on board, but there may have been
anywhere from dozen up to thirty, and so
far as the names are known of those res
cued the list of saved comprise only four
members of the train crew and one or two
colored men who were riding across the
bridge. The list of the killed so far a.
known is as follows:
FRED ALLEN, fireman, Lawrence, Kan

The following list of names OF missing is
furnished by Armour's. All these were
seen to get aboard the ill-lated train, and
as they have neither put in an appear
ance at their working places nor have re,
turned home, it is feared that they are

Ed Burke Frank Wall, Dave Brown. All
of the above are employed at Armour's.
Three tramps who boarded the train sew
eral stations up the road are also missing
All the missing are supposed to have beer

confined in the wreekage.

night at their homes except the three

Hon. Sir Lyon Play air. after giving the
tariff history Of the United States said that
the promoters Of the Mckinley bill sought
to prove that the measure was needed in
order to equalize the difference between the
highes wages of the United States and the
lower wages of Europe but their argument
would not bear examination As d whole,
wages in America had already been reduced
under high tariff, and there seems to be
no tendency to raise them. He entered
upon lengthy discussion of the effects oil
the tariff, contending that they would be
disastrous to American agriculture.
