RECIPROCITY TALK
Is Secretary Blaine to Reopen
 Negotiations ?
so SAYS THE DOMINION PRESS.
Report That Three Commissioner Will Go
 to Washington Next Week.

The Canadian Government, Knowing the
 Important Factor the Reciprocity Gues-
 tIon Is in Dominion Elections, Has Lost
 No Opportunity of Heralding That the
 United States stlll Wishes to Negotiate.
 OTTAWA, Ont, Feb 4.-From one end of the Dominion to the other the Govern ment press, on evidently inspired infor- nation sent out from Ottawa, intimate that, at the request of the United States Government, three representatives of the Dominion Cabinet will proceed to Wash ington next week to reopen negotiations with Secretary Blaine for reciprocity be- tween Canada and the United States.
 Knowing the important factor the re- ciprocity question is sure to be in the pending Dominion election, the Govern ment have lost no opportunity to herald it abroad that Secretary Blaine has shown disposition at last to negotiate.
 Speaking with q member of the Cab met, the latter said that no official an nouncement had been made, although admitting that there was striking sig nilicance to the uniformity with which the information had gone abroad through the Government press.
 The Ottawa Free Press' says it is an election fake on the part of Premier Alb bolt, and that Secretary Blaine's conf1r nation of having invited the Canadian ministers to Washington to negotiate a treaty of reciprocity will have to be re- 3eived before they will believe it.
 Leading Liberals deprecate the govern ment's action in attempting to use Secre- tary Blaine by false representations to assist them in fighting their elections if he has held out no further inducements for the Canadian delegates to visit Washington.

WORLDS FAIR PosroFFrcg.

One that WuI Do Credit to Any of the
 Larger Cities of the Union.
 CHICAGO, Feb. 4.-Postoffice Inspector Stoddard has practically completed his investigations for a plan for a World $ Fair Postoffice.
 Although the inspector could not make public the work accomplished, it is known that his plan contemplatcS a postoffice at the Worlds Fair grounds which will not only be ample in capacity to accommodate the 150,00 exhibitors, but will be a postof1ice which will do credit to any of the larger cities in the United States.
 The employees will number between 40C and 500, and it is believed that Inspector Stoddard will recommend that the office, instead of having postmaster, be placed under the control of Postmaster Sexton.

Was She Drowned While in A rrance9

BUFFALO, N. Y, Feb. 4.--When the body of Frances Burke, who was buried in Dunkirk, was eXhumed yesterday, the casket was found to contain, besides the corpse, a quantity of water sufficient to have drowned her. This discovery strengthens the belief that she was buried alive and drowned in the grave ere she could awake from the trance in which she was buried. Coroner Blood has taken the sworn statement of the girls family and, while he has not yet made a report, he censures those who brought about the funeral before the permit had been obtained.

THE FATAL SUCCESSION.

Leo XIII Canvassing the Views of the
 College of Cardinals.
 ROME, Feb. At is stated that Pope Leo has addressed an inquiry to the members of the Cardinals College, both in Italy and abroad, asking for their opinions as to whether the successor to the Papacy should be an Italian.
 The object of the inquiry is understood to be to allay the jealousies between Catholic countries in Europe, each of which is afraid that a cardinal from the other may be selected for the tiara.
 Until the Pope receives answers from the cardinals abroad, he will not com municate the result to the powers. It is said, however, that the Italian cardinals arc unanimous for one of their own .ountrymen, and this practically decides the question.

LORD sALuseuRv's SPEECH.
His Utterances at Exeter Criticised by the
 Conservatives.


 Conservatives.
 LONDON, Feb. 4.-Lord Salisbury, in his speech at Exeter, made no reference to dissolution beyond ridiculing the idea that Parliament ought to be dissolved by the Ministry because of Ia few adverse bye-elections"-a rather amusing euphemism for the overwhelming defeats of South Motion and Rossendale.
 The Conservative press regards as most important the opinion which he expressed that general election will be speedily followed by others.
 The Unionist "Chronicle' reproaches him for resorting to the silliest subter- fuges of the political arithmeticians in trying to prove that Unionist majority is inevitable. The "Chronicle" says that "this is an absurd way of ignoring the fact that the Gladstonians are winning all along the line"

Lincoln and the Colonel.


An officer wearing the insignia of a
colonel's rank came in, and Mr.. Lin
coin was full Of sympathy, which he
shed like the summer rain that
makes the fields it hastes to bright and
green" He drew his chair near the
colonel whose complaint was, in brief,
that he had been unjustly dismissed
from the army for drunkenness on
duty. The officer had a good and gall
liant record Lincoln knew him. He
never forgot such a case. The lines
in the soldiers face told their own
story of long and unrestrained in
diligence.
Mr.. Lincoln heard the story patient
ly. He rose up and, as was his habit
when moved deeply, he grasped the
soldiers right hand in both his own,
and said: Colonel. I know your story.
But you carry your own condemna-
ton in your face''
The tears were in his voice and to
the soldier, who walked out without a
word, Lincoln appeared like slice of
the day of judgment. Tie only COM
ment the president made subsequent
ly to me was: Il dare not restore
this man to his rank and give him
charge of 1000 mon when ne puts an
enemy in his mouth to steal away his
