for Reciprocity.
ST. JoHN's, N. F., Feb. 14.-Immediatcly
after the reading of the governors speech
at the opening of the legislature to-day
Colonial Secretary Bond proposed resolu-
tions reciting certain statements regarding
the reciprocity negotiations which will
cause stir in Canada, the United States
and England.
The resolutions were discussed with closed
doors. During the discussion several of the
most notably conservative members cx-
pressed strong sentiments in favor of an
nexation, and in condemnation Of the un-
friendly attitude of Canada.
The resolutions were supported by the
opposition, and were passed unanimously,
and sent to the legislative council for their
concurrence.
They recite that England gave consent to
negotiate for reciprocity; that o satisfactory
convention was arranged and accepted Dec.
16 by the United States, and that the British
government has declined to ratify the con-
vention. The resolutions demanded that
her majesty's government Immediately
fulfill its pledge to the colony by ratitying
the said convention.
AFRAID OF RECIPROCITY.
LONDON. Feb. 1.-THE Canadian situation
attracts much attention. The government
manifests the greatest concern in the out

As means of wcanipg Canada from any
longinss for reciprocity or absorption the
government, alter consulting a nuIuber of
big financial houses decided to back to an
almost unlimited extent the projected mail
routes to Japan and Australia via the Cana
dian Pacific railway. Its competition with
the San Francisco route would be impor-
tant, in view OF the fact that the new route
would be 900 miles shorter to and from
Europe. Its advantages also in the event of
war should not be forgotten. 1t is claimed
that the route would help British ships to
control the Pacific
