CANADA AND THE SPANISH WEST INDIES

Halifax, N. S., Aug. II CspeciaD-TKe British
Colonial Office has given official opinion regarding
the effect Of the treaty between Great Britain and
Spain that will Immediately raise a question between
those two countries and the United States Notwtl-
standing the treaty recently negotiated between Mr.
Blaine and the Spanish Government, providing recip
rocal arrangements between the United states and
the Spanish West Indies, Which goes into effect about
fifteen days hence. the British Government asserts
that under the treaty OF 1856 all products of Great
britain and British colonies are entitled to be ad
nitied into the ports OF Cuba and Porta Rlca upon
precisely the same terms those on which the
nroducts OF the United States are to be admitted
nnder the new treaty. II the British contention is
admitted by the Spanish Government, Mr.. Blainc's
new treaty will be practically worthless for two years
at any rate.
A cable dispatch from the Colonial Office, London.
announces that neither England nor Spain has given
notice OF an intention to terminate the Treaty OF

just after the Grippe had visited that
country. :" / am a farmer, one of
those who have to rise early and
work late. At the beginning of last
Winter was on a trip to the City

drenched in a shower of rain. L

with a dry, hacking cough. This
grew worse every day, until had

who has since died, and he told me
to get a bottle of Boschee's German
Syrup. Meantime my cough grew
worse and worse and then the Grippe
came along and 1 caught that also
very severely. My condition then
compelled me to do something. I
got two bottlesof German Syrup. I
began using them, and before taking

Puss and Pug.

The affection of certain cat for the
pug dog that lived in the same family
was very great. "The cat" says its
owner, was observed on several oc-
casions bringing live mice to the pug,
who was much more alarmed than
pleased when she pressed her offerings
upon him. Pug began to get very fat
and we gave strict orders to the SER
wants not to feed him. still as he contin-
ued to increase in size we watched him.
and found that he ate the scraps that
were let for the pigs. We made bar
ricade before the place where the scraps
were kept, so high that he could not get
over. Nevertheless to our astonish-
ment, pug continued as fat as ever, and
at last we discovered that the cat used
to climb over the boards and bring back
bones for pug, who was waiting ex-
pectantly on the other side. Detroit

International Peace Congress.

ROME, Nov. IA prominent figure
among the delegates to the peace con-
gress now sitting here is the tall form
of Rev. Rowland B Howard, of Boston.
Ex-Congressman Leopold Morse and
the sculptor-poet, Story, also attract
much notice. Miss Ormsby Frost made
long and effective speech on the in
fuence of her sex in the preservation
of the peace of the world One of the
delegates, strange to say, was for a
long time the agent for the sale of
Krupp's guns to the nations of south
ern Europe. The debates of the con-
gress are carried on in half dozen
different languages, so that it is diff
cult to see how the delegates will ever
arrive at mutual understanding.
