NOCANADIAN REPRISALS
Such Intentions Not Held BY
the Dominion.
THE CONFERENCE in WASHINGTON

secretary Foster and Mr.. Herbert, British
Charge dan. aires, Discuss the Matter
SiH JnEn Thompson Coming to Washing
ton to SEQ the President.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-The results, ii
any were reached, of the conference yes
terlay between MIR. Foster aud Mr.. Herbert,
British Charge d'Affaires, over tolls on the
Canadian canals, in connection with the
retaliation act passed by Congress, are
carefully guarded.
1t is said, however, that Mr.. Herbet in
timated that the discriminating tolls
charged against American vessels for using
the Canadian canals, while within the
letter of the treaty between the two coun-
tries respecting the navigation of the
canals and the St. Lawrence, was proba-
bly, not in accordance with the spirit OF
the document.
He discIaimed any knowledge of an in
tention on the part of the Dominion gov
eminent or that of the mother country
to enter upon or to authorize a
series of reprisals against the United
States in case President Harrison acts un-
der the terms of the new law.
He probably recognized if he did not ad
init the inutility of such a course, as il
would at once lead to the entire suspen
sion of great part, if not the greater
part, of the traffic of the Canadian trans
continental line.
1t is said at the State Department that
the officials there did not know that Sill
John Thompson of Canada is on his way tt
Washington to secure pledge from the
President that he will not issue his pro
clamation until the opportunity has been
given the Canadian Governm ent to hear
from England and decide on a line of i'm
mediate action.
While President Harrison does not usu
ally act precipitately in public matters,
it is probable that whatever delay there
may be in issuinga proclamation will bt
due to a consideration of interests on thi.
side of the border.

apt to magnify 1t, and to exalt the

Mr.. Bernard, oil unmindful OF my
thoughts, and OF my sinking heart and
quaking limbs, led the way through the
crowded store, simply telling me to fol-
low. At last we came TO his private of.
fee, where he told me to be- seated.
Then he removed his coat and hat, and,
seating himself at his desk, began -
