TURNING TO ENGLAND.

Canadian statssmen Favor Rsciprocity witt
the Home 0ovsrnment.
OTTAWA, Ont, April 26.-In the Hous
OF Commons yesterday, Member McNei
moved Q resolution to the effect that
the English Parliament admits Canadian
products to the markets Of the Unite
Kingdom upon more favorable term
than 1t accords to the products of foreign
countries, the Parliament Of Canada b
prepared to accord corresponding advan
tages by q reaction In the duties 1t i'm
poses on British manufactured goods. H.
spoke at great length in support OF hi
action, producing voiuminous argument
in support of the success of the Englisl
policy OF free trade. He urged that i'm
perial federation was the great panaces
for the Ills of the empire.
Member Desjardines supported the mo
tion, as did also Member Hazen, who sale
that Canada would reap great benefit Il
she could send her goods at q ten per
cent advantage into Great Britain and
admit British goods at similar advan-
tage. Statesmen of free trade tendencies
should endeavor to secure preferential
duties. At present IL seemed useless to
hope for Q reciprocity treaty with the
United States, as II was evident that such
treaty could only be obtained by giving
American productions an advantage over
the manufactures and productions OF
Great Britain.
Mr.. Skinner said that colonial existence
could not last forever and was not con-
ductive to national life.
Mr.. Gilmore opposed the resolution az
not being loyal. Hon. g. E. Foster gave
q review of Canada's trade relations, and
supported the resolution.
II was moved by Hon. L. III. Davies
seconded by Mr.. w. Paterson, to amend
the resolution by providing that as Great
Britain admitted Canadian products
free of duty, Canada should abolish the
duties on products mainly British.
Sir John Thompson seconded the
amendment and was answered by Mr.
Charleston. The debate continued till
II o'clock, when division was taken and
the amendment was lost by "a yeas to 81

4 Bristol, W.T., Man Enticed Away, Probe
bly, for His Money


RUTLAND, VT, April 27.-A special to
the Herald from Bristol, q small town
about 40 miles north of here, says: Elisha
Hewitt, an aged farmer living about
three quarters of a mile south of this
village, was kidnapped yesterday by q
man representing himself as . cashier
from Burlington.
The fellow drove to Mr.. Hewitt's house
about 10 o'clock yesterday morning, and
said to Mr.. Hewitt that he was in search
of farm where his family could spend
their summers, - He asked Mr.. Hewett to
get into his wagon and ride over to the
farm. Mr.. Hewitt did 80 and that was
the last seen OF either of them.
AS Mr.. Hewitt did not return at night
his son came to this village
IN search OF his father and it was soon
made clear that the party had kidnapped
Mr.. Hewitt, as telegram was received
from Vergennes notifying the officers to
keep n lookout for a red moustached fell
low, accompanied by man OF dark COM
plexion.
Mr.. Hewitt is Q man of wealth and had
several hundred dollars on his person,
and it is the general opinion that the OBJ
ject of the parties is to force him to turn
over the money.
