be better and more generally satisfactory
for each state 10 have separate build

ton. however, whether building could
be constructed for 10000 that would
be a credit to the Stxte. There seemed
to he no doubt but what the granite
ausrries. slate quarries and lumber
mills Of Maine would furnish free Of ex-
pense abou, all the material that
would be required for such a
boiiding. IL also appeared that
unless the cooperation Of the rail-
roads could be secured large part Of
the building funds would be consumed in
Transporting this material to the

IL the only one that runs to the grounds,

T"ird of the Hawaiian Sugar
Product.
The Ottawa correspondent of the
Montreal Witness, under date of
January 5, contains the following
shrewd reference to Col. V. V. Ash
ford's unofficial conference with the
Dominion Government:
Colonel Ashford, OF Honolulu, has
interviewed the Minister of Finance
on the prospect for reciprocal trade
arrangement between Canada and
the Hawaiian or Sandw ch Islands.
This recalls the abortive effort of the
Government of Canada, in 1886, to
negotiate trade arrangement with
that kingdom. They sent commits
sioner to them, but the American
agent pointed out to the Canadian
commissioner that Uncle Sam was
going to reclprocate with King kala.
kaua, and had just concluded treaty
OF reciprocity under which Hawaii
admits all American goods free, and
the United States all Hawaiian goods.
Col. Ashford contends that the clause
in the Mckinley Act, making sugars
from any country free, nullities this
treaty and renders it of little use to
Hawaii. Mr.. Foster may use Ha-
waian sugar to frighten the West
Indies with the prospective loss Of
Canada's trade, and possibly he may
90 TO the Sandwich Islands to ascer-
tain if the dusky natives entertain
cordial feelings towards Canada. If
so, he will learn that Hawaii has res
ponslble government; that Col. Ash
ford, who commands the one battal-
ion OF volunteers comprising the
Kings army" belongs to the party
which is now in opposition, and can
not be accredited to negotiate at
Ottawa; and that the treaty with the

difficult to see how she could replace
the United States as a market for the
kingdom.
