Agreed on No Hna.s.

hkFtOu Oh NO DhAB.
OTrAwA Ont, March 22--In the conf
mons tonight Foster mnds his budget
speech, the most interesting point being
trade relations with tho United States. He
said that during the recent visit Of Cana
dian ministers TO Washington they had of
fered Secretary Blaine full and free reci-
procity on NIL products. Secretary Blaine
and Gen. Foster, after consideration, said
1t had been made sine qua non on tho
part Of tho United States during all nsgo-
products, but also the manufactured nrtl-
cles OF each country, should bo put upon
the most favored nation principle, and in
the case of Canada it would be especially
necessary for United States manufacturers
to % protected against Great Britain 8 COM
States great and almost only competitor.
The Canadian ministers replied that they
could not discriminate against the mother
country and suggested return to the
natural product reciprocity Treaty of 1854.
After further consultation Mr.. Blaine
| saw no way out of the dilemma but by
making Canadars tariff uniform with that
! of the United States. 1t was evident the
only way to adjust the differences was for
the Canadian government to make their
tariff coincide with that OF the United
Statea. 1t WAS useless for Canada to try
6Ay oLAoI plhA ~ roCiproclty LlAn CnAE lnl1
down by Blaine. 1t was evident that tho
only scheme he would consent TO would be
that including manufactured as we'll as
natural products. II might be we'll for tho
people and country that this matter
was set ut rest Let Canada fer the futu Q
have a fair idea Of what shs had TO do and
whore to discriminate in doing it, Canada
had TO meet a market. Let her meet her
national market ~ the market OF Great
Britain. 1t might be in the near future
that in this war Of tariffs, which needed
care and attention. that Canada would have
to stretch out hand to the country that
helped her, and give fair and preferential
treatment 70 Great Britain.

morrow. when, in joint session, Mr.. Mills
election will be formally ratified.
Az the last democratic chairman Of the
ways and means, and the loader Of his
party on the tariff Issue in the last con
Rress, MI. Mills had a strong claim on the
speakership. Joseph K. Polk was elected
from the ways and means to the speakers
chair. Mr.. Carlisle who was
Mills junior on the committee,
slipped past him into the
speakership. Mr.. Mills went on the com
mittee in his third congress. He was re-
elected first to the Forty-third congress as
member from the state of Texas at largo.
At that time his state had but four dis
tricts and two members at large. His bioR.
raphy in the Congressional Directory for
several years took but line and half; it
has now increased to three lines and half;
most Of which is used to name the success-
i've congresses to which he has been elected.
He is modest, reticsnt man, somewhat
irritable and yet kind hearted and enthui-
iastio. As q debater ho displays the result
Of hard work. He is a stout, handsome
man, above ordinary stature. His Clipped
Whlte mustache and half shut eyes give
him quizzioal look.
In debate he speaks earnestly, and if not
eloquently, at least not without effect. His
black slouch hat and well-wo broadcloth
mark the disreRard he feels for convention
alities. He cares less for society. With
his hands thrust deep in his pockets he
strides back and forth from the capitol to
his boarding house, his mind seeming ever
to be introverted upon problems connected
with his legislative work
Roger Q. Mills, Of Corsicana, was elected
to the Forty third, Forty-fourth, Forty
fifth. Forty-sixth. Forty-seyenth, Forty
eighth Forty-ninth, Fiftieth, and
Fifty-frst congresses. and was re-
elected to the Fifty-second congress

When all is ready he is told to con-

JARLEY,s WAX WORKS.
A Well Executed PROGRAM at Turn
Hall Last Evening.

The entertainment given for the benefit
OF the Presbyterian church last evening
at Turner hall was a splendid affair. Mrs.
Jarley's wax works were the catchy
feature and were exceedingly well ar
ranged.
A piano duet of a Spanish dance by
Miss Estelle Hellman and Prof. Pasmore
opened the program very appropriately.
Fred Ransom next appeared in a group
of the wax works as Mr.. farley and was
received with vociferous applause. The
Roman Gladistors." composed of Paul
Bailey and J. E. Thomas brought to
mind very wildly the descriptions Of life
in the days of the Caesars. Chas. Tew's
recitation was delivered very cleyerely.
Some excellent songs were sung by Misses
Ruby Peet and Mary Davidson during
the evening. The tableaux were appro-
pirate and well enacted. Mr.. j. E,
Thomas as Uncle Joshua" created a
great deal of merriment.
Luncheon was taken at IL o'clock and
nearly everyone present partook of it
heartily. The entertainment closed with
a happy musical incidental.
