10 RETALIATE AGAINST CANADA.
An Important Message Expected 60 He Seat
TO Congress By the President.

WASHINGTON. May 1.-The message which
President Harrison is expected to send to
Congress this week will submit to Congress
the report OF the conference upon tho subject
OF reciprocity between the two countries held
by Messrs. Thompson and Tupper with Secre-
tary Blaine and Gen. J. W. Foster In February
last In this city. This conference was SELF
invited by the Canadian visitors. and us they
came without authority. and. possibly with
out inclination. to propose anything definite
or substantial. the conference came to no con-
clusion In the message transmitting the re-
port. It is understood that the President makes
some suggestions to Congress. the principal
one OF which is that this Government impose
tolls upon Canadian vessels passing through
the sault Ste Marie Canal in retaliation for the
discrimination made by Canada against
United States vessels passing through the
Welland and 81. Lawrence Canals.
The course OF the Canadian Commissioners.
Messrs. Thompson and Tuppor in relation to
this subject OF discrimination by their Gov
eminent against United States vessels.
demonstrates that their authority was quite
limited. and that they have been poweress
to carry out promises which they were under
stood to have made before leaving Washing
ton. At one OF their meetings. It Is said.
Secretary Blaine made vigorous protest
against the continuance OF the practice OF
charging discriminating tolls against United
States vessels passing through the Welland and
st. Lawrence Canals. His statement OF the case
was 80 convincing that the visitors practically
could make no defence. and promised. accord
ing to tho understanding Of Secretary Blaine
and Gen. Foster. to have the practice dlscon-
tlnued with the opening OF the season this
year. So for as the officials here have been
advised. nothing has been done by the Cana
dian authorities. and It is felt that the time
has come for tho United States to retaliate. to
some extent at least for the discrimination
enforced against United States vessels by
Canada

INTERRUPTED THE BaP7XsaE
A Dog Fight ON the Rivers Bank Nearl,
Caused . Converts Death.

PROVIDENCE. May 1.-Twenty-nine colored
men and women were to DO received into the
Baptist Church to-day on confession OF faith.
and the Seekouk River was selected as the
place Of baptism. This afternoon an enormous
crowd OF colored people assembled on the
banks Of the river.
The pastor was immersing one OF the con-
verts and the deacons were dcvouty waiting
to receive the sister as she came from the
water when two dogs engaged in a fight on
the water's edge just where tho baptized per-
son was to come out.
The young woman was, nearly drowned
while the pastor was looking around to see
the cause OF the disturbance. and the deacons
forgot the pastor and grabbed the fighting
dogs and threw them into the river. The dogs
dropped close beside the minister and the
young woman:
The parson lodged. and as he went under no
lost his hold upon the girl. and she. too. sank
out OF sight The deacons rushed in and
rescued the pastor and the now thor
oHehIy, baptized sister: The dogs had had
and had swu% ashore long before the comm ae':
tion ceased. Then the haptismal ceremony
was resumed. but before the twenty nine can
lidates had been immersed the proceedings
had been interrupted four times by dog fights,
and in zach instance the dogs were thrown
into tho river,
