TORONTO (Ont.), Feb. 9.-Sir John
macdonald has published an address to
the electors of Canada, in which he saws.
AS IN 1882, and again in 1887. so in 1891
DO the questions relating to the trade and
commerce of the country occupy the
foremost place in the public mind. Our
poilcy IN respect thereto to-day is what 1T
mas oeen for the past thirteen years, and
Is directed by firm determination to
foster and develop the resources of the
dominion by every means in our power
consistent with Canada's position as an
integral portion of British Empire. To
that end we have labored in the past; and
we propose to continue in the work to
which we have applied ourselves of
building up on this continent, under the
flag OF England, great and powerful
nation"
Dealing with the policy of the opposi-
tlon, ne says: nrestricted reciprocity
would, in my opinion. inevitably result
in the annexation of the Dominion to the
United States, although its advocates in
Canada deny such to be the case,
Sir John continues: "To the descend
ants OF the pioneers who settled this
country, ana the multltudeS of English
men, lrlshmen and Scotchmen who emf,
grated to Canada, that they might build
up new homes without ceasinc to he
British subjects, l appeal, and ask you
what have you to gain by surrendering
that which your fathers held most dear?
Under the broad folds of the Union
Jack we enjoy the most ample liberty to
govern ourselves as we please, and at the
same time we participate in the adyant-
ages which flow from association with an
Empire as mighty as. the world has ever
SEEN. The great question which you will
shortly be called on to determine resolves
itself into this: Shall we endanper our
possession of the great heritage be-
queathed to us by our fathers
and submit ourselves to direct
taxation for the privilege of having
our tariff fixed at Washington, with a
prospect of ultimately becoming por-
ton of the American Union? 1 commend
these issues to your determination. and
to the Judgment of the people of Canada,
with unclouded confidence that YOU will
proclaim to the world that you resolve to
show yourselves not unworthy of the
proud distinction you enjoy of being
numbered among the most dutiftll and
loyal subjects of our beloved Queen"

A CONFEDERATION AVERTED.
AN ATTEMPT MADE TO FIRE 4
BUILDING AT SANGER.
A Night Watchman Apprehends the
Incendfary, and Lands Him
in Prison.
Special to the REcoRp-UN1oN.

Special to the RECoRD-U MON.
FRESNO, Feb. 9.-Sanger has recently
been the victim of three disastrous con-
fiagrations, and that fourth did not
occur is due to the efforts of the night
watchman of the Rose Block, who sue
ceeded in extinguishing lively blaze.
About o'clock this morning, while the
watchman was making his rounds, he
saw man touch off some loose shavings
in the rear and against the wall of the
Rose Block. He fastened to the spot,
and after extinguishing the flames
started in pursuit of the incendiary,
whom he captured and turned over to
Constable Phillips.
He proved to be man named Edward
Schooley, well known to all the officers
in the country, having served many
terms in the county Jail for being drunk
and disturbing the peace, but was never
before charged with a serious crime.
Schooley was locked up in the county
Jail this afternoon, and refused to talk of
his crime. He had carefully planned the
burning of the building, having piled up
shayings and lot of inf1ammable rub
blsh against the building which he fired.
1t is believed by many that Schooley
also set fire to the Pattison block, which
was destroyed a short while ago.

PORTLAND orr, Feb. 9.-Owing to the
scarcity of wheat in many Of the North
ern and Northwestern States, and the
high prices demanded for charters here,
all wheat from Eastern Oregon and
Washington is being shipped East by
rail, and not pound is. coming here.
Four or five train-loads have gone East
daily over the Union Pacific and North
ern Pacific for the past six weeks, and
there is not more than million bushels
left in the warehouses in the inland en-
pire, and about a million more in the
hands of the farmers.
Shippers say if the charters had been 40
shiliings per ton, but little wheat would
have gone overland, but the ship owners
knew there was large crop, and thought
their demands must be complied with, so
90 shillings has been demanded, and in
some instances paid, and the result will
be that by May the ships will be begging
for cargoes, and there will be none for
them, as all the wheat here has been pro-
vided for.
