The Freight Traffic Amounts to Nearly
$4,000, 900 Year.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.,--A bulletin Civ
ing the statistics of the freight traffic on
the great lakes has been issued by the
census bureau. The chief point of in
terest in this exhibit is the fact that
three commodities--coal, iron ore and
lumber-comprise 75 per cent of the to-
tai cargo tonnage Of the lakes. If to
these commodities be added corn so per
cent. of the total cargo tonnage is ac-
counted for, and if to the aG5ve-named
there be added wheat and mill products
there would scarcely remain 10 per cent
of the total traffic.
The total cargo tonnage for the season
of 1889 was 27,4G0,260 1t is stated that
the ton mileage Of the lakes is equal to
1915 per cent. of the total ton mileage of
railways of the United States, which
shows the relative importance of the
lake commerce. The figures of the re-
ceipts and shipments for the season of
1889 from some OF the principal ports

GOVERNMENT Iio sE,
OTTAWA, Dec. is, 1850.
My LoRD--I have the honor to send to
your lordship today telegrarhic mes
sage in cipher, OF which tho following is
the substance:
With reference to my telegram of the
10th inst, the government is desirous to
propose a joint commission, such as that
of 1871, with authority todeal with limita-
tions and to prepare treaty representing
the following subjects;
First-Renewal Of the reciprocity treaty
of 1854, with the notifications required by
the altered circumstances of both coun-
tries, and with the extensions deemed by
the commission to be in he interest Of
Canada and the United States.
Second--A reconsideration of the treaty
OF 1918 with respect to the Atlantic fisher
les, with the ain Of securing the free ad-
mission into the United States markets of
Canadian fishery products in return for
facilit es to be granted the United States
fishermen to buy bait and supplies, and to
trauship cargoes in Canada-all such priv
ileges to lie mutual
Third-The protection Of mackerel and
other fisheries on the Atlantic ocean and
inland waters also.
Fourth-Ihe relaxation of the seaboard

Fifth-Ihe relaxation of the coasting
laws of the two co OIntrics on the inland
wa ers dividing Canada from the United
States.
Sixth-Mutual salvage and saving of
wrecked YES scls.
Seventh--Arrangements for settling the

The treaty would of course, be ad
referendum. This proposition was pre-
sented TO the imperial government and
has been favorably received with GER
tain reservations. The Canadian gov
ernment, when the new congress assem-
bles, will send a commission to Wash
ington, where, with Lord Pauncefote as
one of it's members, it will endeavor to
obtain such a reciprocity treaty as both
countries can agree upon and which
will be advantageous to both.
