CHICAGO, October 1S-A special despatch
from Ottawa, Ont, says that following close
upon the announcement that the United
States government intended to abrogate the
agreement entered into with Great Britain
in 1917. which restricts the naval forces of
Canada and the United States on the great
lakes to four small vessels each, and place
fleet Of gunboats on the Great Lakes, comes
the report that at the request of the British
government, Lord Stanley has demanded an
immediate report upon the defenses OF the
Dominion. For several years, says prom
ineDt military officer, the British govern
ment hammered at Sir John Macdonald to
strengthen the.defenses of Canada so that in
the event Of trouble the Dominion need not
be solely dependent upon Great Britain for
protection. This request was not carried
out to the satisfaction of the British
government. 1t is stated that the officer
commanding the Dominion forces. Gen. He
bert was sent to Canada to investigate this
state OF affairs. 1t appears to be the inten. /.
tlon OF the British government to send sew
eral regiments toCanada shortly. The fortif-
cations at Halifax are being strengthened to
make that station impregnable; The naval
jointly constructed by the British and Do
minion governments. is reported to the home
authorities as seriously defective. A promi-
nent official of the government says the mo-
ment the United States government abro-
gates the agreement of 1917 and increases the
strength Of its fleet on the lakes, Great Brit
ain will run up a feet of iron clads to those
waters. 1t has been suggested that England
has become alarmed at the strong annexation
movement which appears to have seized her
cantionary Measures to pTeyent their fnrther
development.

PARIS, October 1S.-When the Senate tariff
committee begins the debate on the PROPOSE
tion to remove the prohibition of the import
alton of American pork, the ultra protection
ist members will attempt to secure an ad-
verse report on the scheme. Neither Jules
Ferry nor M. Tirard, both members of this
committee, are very sanguine that the pro-
posal can be carried. M. Willard, member
of the committee, said today that he thought
the bill would ultimately prevail in spite of
the tendencies of the ultra protectonists.
NEW YORK, October 1S.-Louis Conteuciu.
president of the italian Chamber of Com
merce of this city, received a cablegram from
Rome today stating that the Italian cabinet
ministers have unanimously decided to abol-
ish the decree against the admission of
American port into that country, and are
about to issue decree to that effect. Mr.,
Conteuciu says: sin the absence of an Italian
minister, the Chamber of Commerce has for
some time endeavored to foster trade be-
tween Italy and this country. The admis-
sion of American pork Is one of the results
of our labor. There have been no threats of
retaliation made to Italy, nor has the United
States asked her to revoke the decree. Italy
has merely righted the wrong without being
asked to do it,"
WASHINGTON, October 18.-The state de-
parJment has not yet received any informa-
tion regarding the reported removal by the
Italian government of the prohibition against
American pork. Negotiations have been
progressing satisfactorily towards that end.

HEARD BY SIX THOUSAND.
Mr.. Reed Given a Magnificent ova-
ton In Worcester.

WORCESTER, Mass, October 17.-Hon.
Thomas B. Reed was given rousing recep-
tion here tonight, when he addressed great
audience in the rink, the meeting being held
under the auspices of the Young Mems Re-
publican Club. The immense building was
simply packed-that's the word-scarcely
any space being unoccupied, excepting In
some undesirable corners Of the remote gal
leries In the big rink. 1t Is said that there
were 1000 seats In the rink. If that is so
then there were at least half as many more
people standing.
Mr.. Reed was given grand ovation upon
his entrance upon the platform. When he
rose TO speak ne was given another round of
applause, which bid fair to continue the rest
of the evening had it not been happily inter-
rupted by Mr.. Walkers call for "three
cheers for Thomas b. Reed of Maine," and
these were most heartily given.
But these were but preliminary, for all
through his spec :h-lasting over an hour
the audience frequently interrupted the re-
Il arks OF the distinguished visitor, though
the applause and laughter were often slow
on account OF the quaint accent and homely
phrase OF the physical giant from Maine.
In introducing Mr.. Reed Congressman
Walker, referring to Mr.. Reeds famous rul-
ings when he was Speaker of the House,
said: Never was grander or more patri-
otic spectacle presented in any legislative
body than that of Speaker Reed standing for
the law and right Lapplausel not only cool
and unawed, but unmoved, by such rebel
threats of personal violence and such viola
tions Of every sense Of personal as we'll as
legislative decency, as were exhibited by the
Democrats In the 5lst Congress. Such con-
duct, exhibiting the spirit of the Democratic
party, ought to consign it to total disintegra-
tion.
mo other man in this country combines in
himself so many of the characteristics of
Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant as
the man now present to yeu-Hon. Thomas
b. Reed of Maine"
Mr.. Reeds speech was largely devoted to
discussion of the benefits of a protective
tariff and the good effect of the Mckinley
bill. 1t held the closest attention of the au-
dience from beginning to end.

DILLON SPEAKS OUT.
He Says Men Were Hired to Call Him
n Murdeyar

LONDON, October 18.-John Dillon in a
speech at Dungarvan yesterday, explained
that he and his colleagues were absent from
Mr.. Parnell's funeral to prevent unseemly
disorder. He charged that his opponents
hired men, whom they paid with drink, to
publicly call him murderer" He regretted
that such devices debarred him from the
funeral of the great and illustrious leader
whom he loved more than those loudest In
professions of grief and who, In spite of the
events of the past year, would hand down
his name to be remembered to remote gener-
ati0ns of Irishmen. He denounced those
who were making on the grave platform
OF an Infamous gospel of perpetual hostility
with national dlssensi0n. He hoped the Bit
ter attacks upon Mr.. Parnells memory such
as had been printed by the Irish Catholics,
which were uncatholic, unchristian and a
disgrace to Irish journalism, would not be re-
peated The latter remark created a sensa-
tiOn.
