Springfield, Ohio, August 2l.-A SEN
sahonal affair is reported from the
Snow Hill region. Some time ago. a
barn, which, with its contents. was
valued at several thousand dollars, was
burned on the Baker farm in that
vicinity. The barn was rebuilt. The
farm is owned by Mrs. John X. Baker,
wife of the late John X. Baker. She is
20 years of age. and has u son named
James Baker living near her. The son
1t seems has frequently pressed her to
sell the place.
After the barn was rebuilt the doors
commenced opening at night in a very
remarkable manner, and the report
was spread abroad that the barn was
haunted. The doors of the milk house.
spring house, ETC., were also opened at
night, the doors mutilated, etc. The
son purchased q revolver and pretend
Ell to chase imaginary assailants. FL
nally some of the neighbOrs watched
Baker and caught him in the act of
opening some of the doors. 1t is sup
posed he was trying to frIghten his
aged mother into selling the place.
When the neighbors caught him he
said: "Well, they can't prove that |

CANADA WANTS RECIPROCITY.



New York, Aug. 2l.-Erastus Wtman
was seen today in relation 20 the
rumor printed from Ottawa regarding
reciprocity negotiations at Washing-
ton. He remarked that there was "A
wide difference between the newspaper
dispatches He was reported in some
as having been importuned 10 help the
existing government by his knowledge
OF the situation and HE influence. white
In other paper. il was alleged ne had
no confidence in Sir Richard Cart
wright and leaders OF the Liberals.
There was no truth IN either OF these
rumors, he said. So far as assisting
the existing government he was hound
to help forward any movement looking

the Tory government would entirely
reverse its policy. and admit To Canada
all American manufactures free, II ex-
change for the free admission into the
United States of all Canadian products,
then it was the duty OF every friend OF
both countries to help forward the
movement.
Even liberal list OF manufactures
might be agreed upon iii exchange.
especially II the freest use OF Canadian
waterways could b. secured for the
West; the fishing question adjusted so
that American rights could Tor all time
be secured, and the troublesome trans
portation problem adjusted. But 1t
was impossible that Tory govern
ment could be sincere in seeking TO ad-
mit manufactures free, and throw
overheard, not only the men who had
be IN th~i- main reliance in Canada, but
take another step toward discrimi-
nation against the mother country.
Hence IL seemed useless to expect that
much could be done, for the whole
policy oi the existing Canadian gov
ernment, by its history. it's attitude
during the recent elections, and the
sentiment OF it's adhe"ents, was not
favorable to close relations with the
United states.
On the other hand, the whole policy
of the Liberal party was in line with
the most unrestricted commercial con-
nection with the country, and rs this
party had been steadily gaining in
public favor in Canada and would in
the numerous elections now impend-
ing make still further advances it
seemed the height Of folly to give the
Tory party a new lease OF life. yield
ing to their Establishments and max
ing halfhearted treaty. BY con-
current legislation in Congress, on the
one hand, and on the other hand by
Parliament OF Canada. when in con-
troll OF the Liberal party, and arrange
ment could be made between the two
countries impossible to diplomacy. SO
long as Great Britain was the party
TO be treated with.
AS to his relations with the Liberal
leaders Mr. Wiman said he had the
highest esteem for Mr.. Lanier and Sir
Richard Cartwright, for he believed
that. with these men in power, as
they soon would be, a new and better
feeling would be established between
the two countries, in the hiGheSsts de-
gree advantageous to both.
