CANADA SAYS WAIT"
No Decisive Action Taken on the Canal
Rebate 0ue.tior by the Cahsset.

MONTREAL. Aug. lathe Dominion Cabinet
held most important meeting in this city to-
day to consider tho existing relations between
tho United States and Canada Govern
and particularly the canal toll question. which
has given rise to the retaliation measures on
the part OF tho United States Government.
The Cabinet has not mot outside OF Ottawa
for many years. To-day's meeting was held
in this city to suit the convenience Of the
Premier. Sir John Abbott. who is in poor
health and wished to avoid the fatigue OF a
journey to tho CAPITOL The Cabinet met at
the Premier's residence.
The only Minister absent was the Secretary
Of state. the Hon. J. G. Patterson. who was pre-
vented by Illness from attending. The Cabi-
net continued In session from carly In the
morning until late this evening. and nearly
tho whole OF tho time was occupied with the
consideration Of the canal toll question.
Some OF the Ministers we're in favor OF abol-
fishing all the canal tolls and making tho
canals free for all shipping. but the majority
objected to this on tho ground that II would
mean serious loss Of revenue to the Cana
dian Government.
The majority OF tho Cabinet were In favor OF
efrecting q compromise. II possible. with tho
United states Government. At the close OF
the conference tho Premier refused to say
what had been done. but stated that an official
declaration would be made In the Governme ont
papers.
It was further decided that. with this object
in Wow. conference should he proposed be-
tween tho two Governments. to be held In
Washington during the coming winter.
The decision practically means an attempt
BY the Canadian Cabinet to sheve the
question.
THE SUN correspondent was informed by n
MON Der Of tho Cabinet that after q protracte
discussion OF the whole question 1t was de-
cided to make representations to the United
States Government that owing to the fact
that large contracts have been made by
the grain mon on tho basis OF the re-
BATE granted by tho Government at the
beginning OF the present season OF navigation.
any interference with the rebate at tho present
time would mean serious loss but that tho
Canadian Government is willing to onter into
negotiations with the United States Govern
ment for the abolition Of the rebate after the
present season.
The Governm emit has been strongly urged
by President Van Horne Of the Canadian
Pacific Railway. who is afraid OF measures be-
ing taken against his road. to come to some
arrangement with tho United States. and there
is no doubt that tho Government would
have done away with the rebate at once had 1t
not been for the opposition Of the Canadian
grain mon. who claim that they have made
large contracts on tho basis Of the rebate. and
that their abolition would mean a serious loss
to them.
The Cabinet fears to antagonize this inter-
est. and therefore attempts to postpone the
question.

Things the Queen Nav Not Do.

Queen Victoria, not being born queen,
probably learned to read just like other
persons But after she became afflicted
with royalty, she found that queen is not
allowed to have a great many privileges
that the humblest of her subjects can
boast For instance, she isn't allowed to
handle a newspaper of any kind, nor
magazine, nor letter from any person ex-
cept from her own family, and no member
of the royal family or household is allowed
to speak to her Of any piece of news in any
publication.
All the information the queen is permit
ted to have must first be strained through
the intellect OF a man whose business it is
to cut out from the papers each day what
he thinks she would like to know. These
scraps he fastens on a silk sheet with
gold fringe all about it and presents to her
unfortunate majesty. This silken sheet
with gold fringe is imperative for all com
munications to the queen. Any one who
wishes to send the queen personal poem
or a communication of any kind Except d
personal letter, which the poor lady isn't
allowed to have at alb must have it print
ed in gilt letters on one of these silk sheets,
with a gold fringe just so many inches
wide and no wider all about it. These gold
trimmings will be returned TO him III time,
as they are expensive and the queen is
kindly and thrifty, but for the queens
presence they are mperative.-Helen Wat
terson in Philadelphia Inquirer.
