THE TRADE QUESTION.

Recent Negotiations Between tho
 Canadian Delegates and Sectetary Rlafne-PropOsals Submitted by the Canadian Ministers.
 OTTAWA, March 16.-The governor gen eral to-day transmitted to parliament cop ies of the documents relating to the recent negotiations at Washington between the Canadian delegates and Secretary Blaine respecting the extension of trade relations between Canada and the United States. It will be seen, however, that no basis on the trade question was reached. Secretary Blaine intimated to the British minister that the discussion should be private and purely informal, but he was disposed to put no limit on the questions discussed. The following proposals were submitted by the Canadian ministers:
 It is proposed that reference to some | impartial authority be made by Great Brit ain and the United States for the purpose | of deciding finally the true boundary be- tween Alaska and Canada; also that 6 commission of four experts be appointed to report to the governments of Great Britain and the United States the best and most convenient mode of delimiting the boundary as established | by the award. The commission may rec 1 ommend as an alternative the adoption of a conventional boundary if they find that | it is likely to avoid serious inconvenience in the delimitation. It is proposed that a commission of two exports shall be ap- pointed-one by Great Britain and one by the United States-and report to their re. spective governments as to restrictions and regulations which should be adopted on the following subjects:
 First, the prevention of purse seining in territorial waters of the United States and l Canada, and also in waters outside oi these territorial limits. The prevention oi other destructive modes of fishing in inland waters contiguous to the United | States and Canada. The preven. ton of polluting and the obstruc ton of such contiguous waters. Close seasons which should be observed and the restocking such waters with fish ova and the means by which fish life may be pre- served and increased. It is proposed that United States vessels and wrecking appli | ances may aid American and other vessel. and property wrecked in distress.

CREEPING FROM THE POPE.

Text of n Letter Written by Him 10
 the Special United States Commis-
 sioncr to Italy for the Chicago Co.,
 lumbian Expedition.
 ROME, March 16.-Following is the text of letter written by the Pope to Thomas B. Bryan, special United States cOmmis- sioner to Italy for the Chicago Columbian exhibition:
 Greeting: While we are on all sides the preparations that are eagerly being made for the celebration of the Columbian quatro-centennial feasts in memory of a man most illustrious and deserving of Christianity and all cultured humanity we hear with great pleasure that the United States have among other nations entered this competition of praise in such manner as befits the vast ness and richness of the country and the memory of the man so great as he to whom these honors are being shown. Nothing, certainly, could be more splendid than what is told us of the grand and mAgnif- cent exposition which the nation will hold at Chicago, bringing together every kind of produce and work which fruitful nature bears and the srtfuI industry of man creates. The success of this effort will surely be another proof of the great spirit and active energy of this people, wko un- dertake enormous and difficult tasks with such great and happy daring. We rejoice moreover in the nobility of the purpose which is equal in greatness to the under taking itself. It is a testimony of honor and gratitude to that immortal man, of whom we have spoken, who desirious of finding a road by which the light and truth and all the adornments of civil cul- ture might be carried to the most distant parts of the world, could neither be deter red by dangers nor wearied by labors until, having in a certain manner renewed the bonds between two parts of the human race so long separated, he bestowed upon both such great benefits that he in justice must be said to have few equals or a superior. While, therefore, we bestow on the citi- zens of the great republic well merited praise, we express the fervent hope that their noble undertaking, may, other na- tions uniting with them and lending their aid have most prosperous issue that will prove of great use in stimulating the in genuity of man, in promoting the deyel opement of nature and fn encouraging all the fine arts.
 Given at St. Peter's, Rome, in the year 1892, and the fifteenth year of our ponti- ficate.

 agcr Burnham Asked to Attend.
 The Boston League club magnates have refused to allow an Eastern league club to be located in that city. This does not necessarily mean that New Haven will not have base ball this year.
 Through the efforts of the Philadelphia team e special meeting of the Eastern league has been called at Albany for Fri day and President c. D. White has invited Manager Burnham to be present. It is quite likely that either a twelve-club cir cult will be formed at that time or two of the clubs now in the league dropped, so as to make room for Providence and this city in the circuit.

IRONCLADS.
to save.

Colonel Paixhan, of the French army,
sells. The first ironclad vessels, which
were little more than floating batteries,
were employed by the French in the sea
attack upon Sebastopol in 1854. In 1859
the celebrated Dupuy de LONE, chief con-
structor of the French navy, presented to
the world the sea-going armored vessel La
Gloire, built of wood and armored with
five inches of iron.
To Ericsson, however, belongs the en-
tire credit of the invention of the monitor
ironclad, or revolving turret placed upon
low iron plated vessel. The claim of
certain British authors that the idea of
the monitor ironcIad originated with Cap
tain Coles, of the British navy, is without
foundation.
Captain Wilmot, of the Royal navy,
mentions the fact that in 1855 Captain
Coles, during the Crimean war, mounted a
thirty-two-pounder on raft for service in
the shallow waters of the Sea of Azov, and
that from this the plan of a turret IRON
clad seems to have originated. But as a
matter Of fact Ericsson had already, upon
the Goth of September. 1854, submitted a
drawing of an ironclad steam battery
with revolving cupola to the Emperor Ma
poleon III. at Paris. This drawing was
accompanied with an elaborate description
and demonstration of the utility of the
battery. The receipt of these papers was
promptly acknowledged by the French
emperor, through General Fave, in very
tattering terms

with his discharge by the government of
its legal contract of pay and bounty, and
with the discharge of Its moral obligation
to care for the dependent veteran. The
governments debt of honor is not dis
charged; never will be discharged, because
it cannot be discharged. for when all the
living object lessons of patriotic service
and sacrific are lost to sight they will still
be to the nations memory dear. This
debt of ceaseIess honor can no more be re-
duced to an equivalent in cash than can
the surprising love of man who is ready
to die for his friend.
There is no more disgusting. degrading
theory Of citizenship and manhood tsught
than the base philosophy that because the
banker and the capitalist are alleged to
have driven q better bargain with the gov
eminent. therefore the veteran today
should never rest until he had been paid
the difference between his wages as paid
in deprecated greenbacks and the same
wages i'll gold. The government hired its
money as cheap as it could: it hired
its soldiers as cheap as it could; it paid its

them in the same money that the toiling
and tax-galled millions behind the army
were paid; the greenback was hardship,
severe calamity to the whole people, but
it was patriotic sacrifice to which soldier
and civilian alike submitted. To adjust
the difference between the soldiers pay in
greenbacks and gold would bankrupt the
nation, and yet it is upon some such
demagogue pretense of this sort that this
"Soldiers' political party" will seek to
justify its existence. 1t is sure to fall
fiat; to die stillborn; there is
no occasion in this country for
the third party Prohibitionists; for the
Peoples party; for the Farmers Alliance,
and least of all for "a Soldiers party"
Political movements that seek to push

doomed to early death.
SOLDIERS political party" formed to
play the part of Parnellites between the
two great parties of the nation, will never
survive its babyhood; and it will be very
sickly, pulling infant while it lasts. The
nation will show small consideration for
the soldier who seeks to become barnacle
on the keel of the ship of state he helped
to save.

Carroll D. Wright, United States commits
sioner OF labor. has just transmitted to the
president report which contains some inter
esting comparisons of the earnings and ex-
pendtures OF the workmen in special industries
here and abroad
The averages yearly income from all sources
OF families dependent on the WOODEN indu stry,
as determined from the extensive data collected
by Mr.. Wright is s663l3 in the United States,
$l2lol IN France. S-7J.99 in Germany and s5l5 81
in Great Britain.
Out OF this there is paid for rent in the United
states sq0.S7; in France, s3s %; In Germany
s25.45, and in Great Britain, s522a The expend-
iture for food in the United States averages
s262 s.; in France, slS6 rs: in Germany, sl4027.
and il Great Britain. SOB 50. The total average
expenditure in the United states is $4,000: in
France, s5SLe5; in Germany, s2Sl59, and in
Great Britain, siSl6l
Abroad the expenditure for amusemeuts and
intoxicants is greater than il is in this country
while American workmen spend more for read
ing than foreigners of the same class. What is
true OF the wooden industry is true OF the cotton,
glass and iron industries in prsct ca y the same
proportion OF income and outlay, except that
glass-workers spend more FOR drink.
Ii Will be seen from these figures that the
American workman earus more and is better fed
and housed tsen tle foreign laborer. while
spending smaller proportion Of his income
