PREMIER ABBOTT PUZZLED,
He Cannot See How Canada Has Been Ur
friendly to the United States.


friendly to the United States.
TORONTO, Aug. A special dispatch from
Ottawa to the Empire says: Sir John Cald-
well Abbott, premier Of the dominion. re-
turned last evening from his salmon fishing
tour on the Metapedia. In a brief interview
regarding canal tolls he said:
Il am not aware that Canada has ever mani
Tested a querulous disposition in her dealings
with the United States, and speaking particu-
lariy Of our international relations since have
had anything to do with the government am
sure our bearing toward the people to the
south OF us has been most conciliating
Three times in the past year have We sent dele
CATIONS TO Washington TO clear up this very
question of canal tolls, and for our recent
legislation II has all been in the direction OF fur
thering friendly intercourse. Last session we
passed a bill establishing reciprocity in towing
and wrecking. and when, not long since we
were asked whether the privileges thereby
granted would extend to the incidental use Of
our canals for these purposes, free of embargo,
we promptly and cheerfully assented Then,
again. ii will be remembered that when
bill was introduced in the house of
commons by one of our supporters designed
to reciprocate the harsh treatment of
Canadian workingmen in the United States
by providing for similar restrictions upon
United States workmen in this country the gov
1t was dropped, SO that all through there has
been nothing in our legislation upon interna-
tionai subjects TO justify an accusation Of un-
friendliness, which the press of the United
States charge upon us. and in which, ] am sorry
to say, section of our Canadian press so
readily acquiesce.
DULUTH, Aug 2.-Secretary Thomson Of the
chamber Of commerce, an authority on the
subject. in an interview yesterday on Canadian
retaliation In the matter OF the ST. Claire fats
canal. which they claim lies in
Canadian territory, said: The Canadian
claim that the entire canal runs
through Canadian waters and territory cannot
be upheld for q moment. In the first place
Great Britain conceded exclusive ownership,
control and jurisdiction Of the canal 70 the
United States by the treaty Of Washington rati-
fed in 1871.
"On September 4. 1888, a resolution rnssed
the Senate requesting the Secretary Of War to
report whe ther the channels in ordinary use in
the Detroit and ST. Claire rivers, including ST.
Claire fats canal, were in waters under the juris-
diction Of the United States or the Dominion of
Canada. Under date Of November IA. 1888, the
Secretary Of War made a report showing that
5S5 feet of the north end Of the essterly pier is
in Canadian territory, but il is really OF
no practical importance. The cansl
is 300 feet wide, and the boundary
line crosses IN such manner that fifty feet at
the upper end Ii In Canadian territory, leaving
q clear space OF $50 feet between the westerly
pier and the international boundary iine-smpie

Democrats Take Comfort From KOlb's De-
feat-Mr. Watson Says 1t il Not Significant.
The democrats got considerable comfort out
Of the result Of the election OF the straight
out democratic governor Of Alabama. The de-
feat of Cobb, the alliance-independent candi-
date, they regard as an indication of the
weakness Of the third party and that great
mass Of the southern alliance men will not de-
sert the old party.
Mr.. Watson said to a STAR reporter today
that the defeat of Kolb was not significant; that
he was nota third party candidate; that the third
party leaders and the third party organ pub
lished here opposed him. because they did not
favor any but straightout third
party candidate. There was no such candidate
in the field, he said. This fall, he added. it
was the purpose Of the third party to run noae
but straightout third party candidates for
Congress, who would repudiate both the old
parties. They intended to do this, he said,
wherever they nominated candidates for Con-
gress.

Operation of the Anti-Lottery Law.
In September next it will be two years since
the law was enacted prohibiting the transmits
sion through the mails of newspapers contain
ing lottery advertisements or lottery matter.
Within that period the Louisiana Lottery Com
pany, one Of the wealthiest corporations in the
country, has gradually dwindled away, until to-
day its business is practically gone. Next year
the company will pass out Of existence. The
laws now in force are of such character that
foreign lottery companies are practically de-
barred from doing business in this country.
In the course of few years it is thought that
the lottery. as far as this country is concerned,
will be thing Of the past, and some other form
of wasting money will have to be invented for
the benefit Of those who are addicted to specu-
lative ventures.
