iportant a Question TO the Whole coun-
try.
MCGINNIs VIEWS AStsi
Spcakingoft the letter recently sent
out by Secretary Thompson, Of the
Duluth Cfnmbsr7of Commerce, can-
ing for convention al Washington
soon after the holiday season TO con-
slider aud indorse a scheme for a deep
water ship canal from Buffalo across
the state ofNew York TO the Hudson,
Secretary ID. b. McGinnis, of the
Chamberof Commerce OF Grand Forks
says; Doubts have beenzexpressed
by the highest engineering authority
as to the feasibility af a SHIP canal
across the state of New York. Would
IL not be a wiser course TO bold such
a convention which would pronounce
In favor Of d commission Of engineers
70 make a thorough examination Of
all the routes and then to report upon
the cheapest and most feasible one
whether it runs across the state of
Pennsylvania. New York, or down
the St. Lawrence. The tonnage, in
tereSts OF the Northwest have assum-
ed such gigantic magnitude that a
2l-foot channel from Buffalo to the
seaboard is an Imperative necessity.
But should the merits of the matter
be weighted down by an Endorsement
of any particular route before it is
found which is the cheapest and most
feasible" Secretary Thompson takes
the position that the st. Lawrence is
foreign waters, when~ such is not1the
lease. The United States. by the
treaty of Washington. ratified in 18Th
acquired an equal ownership TO the
81. Lawrence and its connecting
canals with the Dominion Of Canada.
III Canada ignores these treaty obliga,
tions the United States should take
prompt measures TO enf6rce them, not
by falling into the same efroE but ay
drm insistance upon its property
rights totlre waters Of the st. Law
renee. The principle underlying the
treaty OF Washington was based on
the law<of nations which gives to any
country Upon thel headwaters Ola
thatigable stream the free and unre-
stricted right of its navigation to the
sea, even Though it passes entirely
thrDugh the territory of another ma!
ton. IL Canada ignores the treaty Of
Washington il Is an attack on the.
property rights Of the United States.
Canada by theforce OF circumstances
which neither she nor the United
States can control, must become an
integral part of the Union OF the
Estates. Mr.. Thompssn's idea of hold
Ing a deep water convention at Wash
ingtan is a good one, but the interests
stake are so vast that the conven-
tion should not be committed before
hand, TO anY specific scheme until its
utility is demonstrated and vastly Of
more Importance than all is the fact
that the United States should not
abate n iota of its rights secured
under the treaty Of Washington

Ought TO BE Called in

IL P-Rncker, ot Grand Forks, who
always has an eye TO the interests Of
the northwest, was, seen by-a corre-
spondent Saturday and found ready
to talk concerning the letter sent out
by Secretary Thompson, OF Duluth,
regarding the canal convention 10 be.
held in Washington. He said he was.
in favor of the convention being held
in Washington some time this winter
but believed that the northwest
should act unitedly upon some line
that would accomplish the greatest
results in the shortest spaceo OF time.
What we want is she most practi-
cal route tothe seaboard, whether 1t
be via st. Lawrence or across the
state OF New York. Men OF the high
est authority on this subject say the
New York route is impractical, but
whether this be!true or not, let us 90
before congress fanitedly and wfthfa
common purposean view, ask congress
TO app0int a corps of engineers al
once and report at an early date as
possible the most practical and FEAST
bic route for this canal. ht EtiA'sN
Mr.. Thompson urges that the con,
yention, If called, be held soon after
the Christmas holidays in Washing
ton, but does not suggest how, or by
whom this convention shall be called.

Erastus Wiman Much Troubled About the
Bering Sea Matter.
CHICAGO, March 13.-The we'll known
economist and financier, Erastus Wyman.
who is visiting here talks seriously of war
between the England and the United States
as the outcome Of the Bering sea complica-
ton. ''lhe English government said he,
in an interview, sis under tremendous
pressere from Canada. which is in n mood
to insist that Canadian sealers beprotected
and given equal rights with Americans on
the high seas. Besides, the coming contest
in England makes it incumbent that
diversion Of some kind be created to secure
tory success at the polls. It ID not
improbable that a vigorous foreign
policy during the coming summer
may threaten the peace Of the world
Actual hostilities are doubtful, but MANY
war has sprung from less serious causes.
The threat Of retaliation in the shape Of
abolition Of bonding privilege, which al
lows goods destined to Canada to pass
through the United States without duties,
and vice versa, would be a two edged
weapon far more hu,tful to the cities Of
ths United States than to Canada. If this
is the only retaliatory measure Canada
fears. after suffering the terrible exclusion
inflicted by the Mckinley BILL it will only
solidify her adhesion to British connection
and strengthen her determination to keep
independent of the United States.''
