OUR TRADE WITH CANADA.
OTTAWA, Ont, June 5.-The first
installment of paper dealing with
the Washington reciprocity negotia-
tions has been laid before the Do.
minion parliament. When New
foundland, negotiated, Sir Julian
Pauncefote cabled the colonial office
that Canadian opinion should be in
vited simultaneously. Sir John Mac
Donald communicated withSirChas.
Upper, urging him to enter objec-
ton on the ground that it would be
injurious to Canada and violate the
imperial policy on considering the
Atlantic fisheries as whole. The
letters, which indicate the attitude
of Mr.. Blaine toward Canada's pro-
posal, are missing. For publication
of these, permission has not yet
Teen obtained. One interesting
communication is dated January %,
from Lord Knutsford, colonial Sec
retary. He says Newfoundland
ministers are willing u negotiate for
arrangements with Canada on a ba-
sis similar to the United States, and
her majesty's government strongly
hope the Dominion will on this
understanding withdraw its oppo.
sition. The reply to this is not given.
The most important communica

per of an interview with Mr.. Blaine.
Tupper gives details of the first
talk with Mr., Blaine, in company
with Paucefote, and says:

outset to recognize the accuracy of
the statement contained in his letter
to Pauncefote, which | had seen in
refernce 20 the invitation to open
negotiations regarding reciprocal
trade arrangements between the two
countries, in that believed it arose
from negotiations which had recent
ly taken place between the United
States and Newfoundland, and the !
desire expressed by Canada to be in |
cluded in arrangements such as has
been understood to have been con-
templated by the United States and
and that upon that
being communicated to him 10y Sir
Julian Pauncefote, he had expressed
his Willingness to open negotiations
for reciprocity trade arrangements
between Canada and the United
States, assisted by delegates from
the dominion government. Nego
tiations are to be informal, and tu

more formal character, if any result
were arrived at. Mr., Blaine said he
