LONDON, Feb. 23.-In an article in the
Graphic on the Canadian crisis, Marquis

full to bring home to our minds the fact
that the colonies are practically indepen.

cules the idea that Canada desires
to barter her political independence for
the government of the stars and stripes.
| Whatever be the result of the coming cleo
ton, he says, free trade in Canada is i'm
possible. All possible change will mean
either a few per cent. decrease in the
tariff or, if Canada joins the Zolverein
with the United States an increase of the
tariff in CONJUNCTION with the United
States against Great Britain.
In conclusion the marquis says: IF the
| United States want more they and Canada
must be content to wait until the engulf-
ing policy of Mr. Blaine has run its course
| like other decisions. So long as Great
Britain remains true Canada will remain
loyal.

TIE WOMEN WILL LOSE.

They VIII Probably Be Refused Represen-

ersI Conference.-The East and West
Take Different Views
The Efforts Of the Methodist women to
gain representation in the General Confer

be decided against them az the bI-annual
meeting III Omaha next May. The question
has attracted the attention of the religious
world for over two years, and since the last
session of tie General Conference has been
the most important issue in the NJ. Z.
Church The attempt at that time
10 give women the right to be
delegates was new departure among the
Christian churches, anu was thought by
many TO be the beginning OF a new era for
women in which the privilege OF suffrage
world become their right. The question was
left TO the district conferences for them to
express an opinion, and it was generally be-
lieVed that the women would win. The
marc d-heartedness OF devout as wei. as wicked
man was not considered, however, and from
returns made by conferences that have
voted on the question, it is evident that
big majority is opposed to the proposition
When asked about the probable results
Yesterday, B. c. Christy one of the leading
Methodist laylnen in Western Pennsylvania,
said that the women would be shut out two
TO one. Our in the Wild West where women
are as scarce as policemen at a fight, Mr..
Christy said the conferences were almost
unanimous in their vote to give their sisters
q voice in church proceeding, but up in
Puritan New England, the selfish men
wanUthe power they have held continued
and refuse to give tie gentler sex the right

continued Mr. Christy, "also oppose represen-
against them and as it looks now the vote
viii be strongly against change"
