lied to speak for either of the persons
concerned, that he is to be married when

or less foundation eliminated in the report
yesterday that the marriage with Mrs.
O'Shea would not take place. that

The Negotiations With Canada.

ToRoSro, April THE Empire, govern
ment organ, referring to Tupper's mission
to Washington City and the postponement
of the discussion of trade matters, says:
while it would have been more satisfac-
tory to have had the question at issue
dealt with Immediately, it seems there is
no reason for regret in the circumstances
which led to the postponement, as it is fa-
vorable to ultimate success"
The Globe says: "The result is . humili-
ating failure. The last hope of access to
the markets of the United States through
the tory government seems to have disap-
peared. and Canadians must reap the con-
sequences of the folly, viruience and
bungling of their rulers, and OF the recent
Endorsement of a government which dare
not move beyond the limits fixed by re-
strictionists.'
The Mail says: 1.-THE whole course of
discussions and negotiations up to this
point serves to show two things-frst,
that if any arrangement will be reached, it
will not take the form of an actual treaty,
but of an agreement to submit to current
legislation; and second. the agreement
based upon products only, is out Of the
question"
