view"
Consul-general Lay. at Ottawa. wrote to
Assistant Secretary Wharton. under date
of Aug. 15. as follows: Il have the honor to
confirm my telegram of to-day as follows:
The ministers are determined to abolish
the rebate on canal tolls at the end OF the
season The decision made by them as
to the rebate on canal tolls, 1t seems, con-
tinues the rebase as now to the end of the
season of navigation. l lncl0se copies or
the orders in council authorizing those re-
bates, which would terminate at the emo
of the season without further action OF
council; SO that the action taken In Mont:
real seems to leave the case in ststu qu0."
On the 18th inst. Secretary Foster tele-
graphed Mr.. Herbert at Newport, as fol-
lows: when may expect y0u here, or
note on canal tollsi" Mt v Herbert s5s replied %
to-day received. Have telegrsphed to in
quire what day may expect communica-
tion."
On the 10Th inst. Secretary Foster sent
the following telegram TO- Mr.. Herbert:
"The United States consnl-generel at Ot-
tawa reports that the decision of the Coun-
Gil was TO abolish rebates at end of this sea-
son. This Is confirmed by Canadian press
reports. If Canadian determinations are
to continue during this season, compliance
with recent act of Congress requires the
President to establish tolls to run concur
rently. Discussion as to future action can
then proceed under parity of conditlons"
In response to this telegram Mr.. Herbert
the same day asked If he could see Secre-
tary Foster at the State Department. on the
following morning, and the Secretary tele-
graphed that he could see him at any time
between s and IL o'clock. In pursuance of
this arrangement, Mr. Herbert, charge of
the British legation. called on the Secre-
tary of State this morning, and informed
him that he had not yet received the off,
cial notice of the action of the Canadian
Cabinet on the canal tolls, but he hoped
to be able to communicate 1t early next
week.
The Secretary of State said that the
United States consul-general at Ottawa
had reported that the decision of the Cabi-
net was to abolish the tolls at the end Of
the present season, and this had been con-
frmed by the ministerial press of Canada.
He then asked MIR. Herbert If this con-
formed to his information on the subject.
Mr. HerberJ answered that he WAS not as
yet authorized TO make any Official COM
mupicatipp on the subject, but that he had
no doubt the CONSUL generars report was
correct.
The Secretary of State said that the solu-
tion of the question would not be regarded
as satisfactory to his government and in
answer to an inquiry he stated that the
the proclamation contemplated by the act
of Congress. But he gYe Mr.. Herbert the
assurance that should the Canadian
government give notice of its decision to
abolish the determinations now CON-
planned of. the proclaim alton would be sus-
pended concurrently with such aboli-
ton.

that the letter reiterated Blaine's

there could be no mistake about it, for

Harrison men say that the president

CHICAGO, June 4.-Delegates from II

purpose of determining how great an in
road the Blaine boom had made upon
the Harrison forces. Senator Cullom
expressed himself as confident that the
delegation would be solid, with perhaps
one or two exceptions, for Harrison: The
only sign of revolt against the president,
he thought, was among the Chicago
delegates. George N. Massey, a dele
gate, said that notwithstanding Della
wares well known loyalty to Blaine, her
six votes would be cast for Harrison.
The delegates felt that they would be
doing Blaine an injustice should they
vote for him in the face of his widely
circulated letter that he would not be a
candidate.
