LONDON, March o7.-TAssociated Press.
Copyrighted. 1901. Lord Knutsford has
damaged his reputation among Conserva-
tives through his tactless treatment Of
the Newfoundland matter. He fequires
coaching by Salisbury, who is blamed
within his own circle for allowing the
colonial minister too free a hand.
Sir Charles Dixie in a newspaper article,
disclosed the source of uneasiness pre-
vailing among ministerialists. "If," he
says, "strange foreign arbitrators, picked
up in the Russian foreign Office and else
where, should for political reasons declare
against the United States, then the modus
vivendi under the Knutsford bill becoming
an act Will have to be forced on the col
onies by deeds of civil war. If Newfound-
land was an American state France would
sell her rights in five minutes to the Uni
ted States. She only refused to sell them
to England because she is interested in
Egypt"
OTTAWA, Ont, March 27.--It is learned
in reliable quarters that as partial solu-
ton Of the Newfoundland question Lord
Salisbury is using every effort to bring
about a confederation of that colony with
the Dominion. A member of the cabinet
said tonight that he believed Newfoundland
would be direct acquisition to
the Dominion. and the govern
ment would gladly welcome any reason
able proposition by which union might be
attained. The main obstacle in the way
of federation would be the determined op-
position many leading merchants of New
foundland would offer, as it would destroy
the monopoly they now enjoy in trade.
Speaking of the proposed commercial
treaty recently negotiated between the
United States and Newfoundland. he said
the ratification of this treaty with New
foundland would preclude the possi-
bility of the Dominion carrying on
successful negotiations at Washington
City, as by it the United States
would secure many of the concessions they
now want from Canada, without having
to make corresponding sacrifices. This, he
said, applied more particularly to the fish,
cries. He said nothing more disastrous
could befall the commercial welfare of the
Dominion than the ratification of such a
treaty independent of Canada. 1t was for
this reason that Sir John interfered and
used his influence with Lord Salisbury in
defeating the scheme of the Newfound-
landers.

tunity to look over, shows invoices

farm products from the Western
and Southern states Massachusetts,,
Connecticut, New York and Pennsylvania

variety of manufactured articles. but the
Western and Southern states, notwith-

THE POsrOFFICE THIEVES.
Examination OF Finnigan and suffern at
Port Townsend.

PoRT TOWNSEND, March 27.-lSpecial. +
James Finnigan and John Sufern, the
two postoffice burglars, were given a pre-
iiminary trial in the Office Of the chief of
police today. The hearing took place be-
fore Judge Rhode. Finnigan was first
arraigned on q charge of burglary, which
complaint consisted in breaking into the
postoffice building on the 7th OF March.
He pleaded guilty. The same complaint was
read to Suffern who waived examination.
Both were bound over for trial at the next
term of the superior court with bail at
$1,000. In each case the prisoners were
not represented by counsel The hearing
was very short one not lasting over five
minutes.
2 Chief of Police Delaney admits that Fin.
nigan made full confession of the rob-
berry, but declined to give the particulars.
he says, however, that the men got into
the postoffice through trap door in the
store of Handley & French. Their boat
was under the building, and they dropped
everything through the trap door, which is
behind the counter in the store, and
has been used for sweeping rubbish into
the bay. As soon as the booty was Sc
cured by the burglars they Immediately
pulled away up the Sound.
1t is understood other charges will be
preferred against the men should they
succeed in finding bail in the present
case. The United States government
can try them for mail robbery as
soon as discharged from custody by the
state authorities. Finnigan and Sufern
are said to be the men who robbed the
steamer Mastick few evenings before the
burglary at the postoffice. 1t is also said
that after they got into the bay with the
boat load Of plumber it became so rough
that they had to throw nearly everything
overheard. and narrowly escaped with
their lives. Mrs. Suffern, the mother of
the younger prisoner, arrived here todey
from Seattle.
