Secretary of State Foster Replies co Criticisms

secretary OF state roster Replies 20 Crtticfsms
of the Canadian Minister of Finance.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-The attention of
the Secretary of State, John w. Foster, was
called to q lengthy interview which was tel
egraphed from Ottawa, yesterday, by the
Canadian Minister of Finance Hon. George
Il. Foster, containing O detailed review of
President Harrison's annual message. Sec
rotary Foster stated that the Canadian
finance minister's arraignmenr of the Pres
ident was neither justified by the message
nor sustained by his lengthy criticism.
The Minister treats Of four topics of great
interest to both countries, viz: Reciprocity
of trade, fishery rights the canal discrimi-
nations and the railroad traffic. On the
first point. little fault is to be found with
the Canadian statement, for the reason that
In only one particular does 1t qualify the
Presidents declarations But ia this par
ticular the Minister is seriously in error.
During the reciprocity conference of last
winter Mr.. Blaine did not insist that in q
reciprocity arrangement uniform tariff
would be necessary for both Canada and
the United States. nor. much less that 1t
should be on the line OF the present United
States tariff. He did ask that the schedule
should not be confined TO natural products,
but should include al agreed list of manu-
should be confined to Canada and the
United States and because of these two con-
ditions the negotiations were frultless.
The fishery question covers more than
century of voluminous discussion and pro-
longeG controversy. but most limited ex-
animation of it would show that at every
step in it's history the exactinG and un-
reasonable demands of Canada have frus-
trated otherwise harmonious adjustments
between Great Britain and the United
States. This is especially noticeable in the
fur seal controversy. lt is q well-known
fact that in 1888 the subject had reached
com plete basis of settlement in London be-
tween Lord Salisbury and Minister Phelps,
when the .remonstrance of Canada de-
feated the arrangement and precipitated
the two governments into the bitter dis
cussion ont of which has grown the pend
ing arbitration.
Secretary Foster said that the Canadian
Minister'S statement of tho issue involved
In this arbitration was most imperfect aud
misleading. 1t was not q question of free
fishing on the nigh sea. The governments
does not claim that Behring sea IS mare
clausunl. and does not seek to restrict the
legitimate freedom of the ocean. but, in
the language o. Mr.. Blaine, 1t does claim
that the law of tho sea is not awlessness.
IL holds that the fur-seals born and reared
on the Priby lof islands. on which they spend
q large part of their existence, and to
which they return with unvarying in-
stiDct. represent a large and valuable IN
terest and industry, which should not be
permitted to be extermlnated by the bar
bayous and tnhumnn methods Of the Cana

Ministry by n Close Vote


Ministry by n Close Vote.
CINCINNATI. O., Dec. 1S-The Cincinnati
Presby terry, by vote of 81 to %. as un-
officially reported, has closed the mouth Of
one of it's brightest scholars until sucb
time as he shall agree to renounce his views
upon inspiration and cease to teach them,
IL was late in the afternoon when the de-
bate on the degree of punishment to be
meted Professor Smith. of Lane Theological
Seminary. was ended. The majority of thG
committee favored rebuke, but by the close
vote already given the decision was in
favor of his suspension from the ministry.
Tomorrow morning the presbytery will
meet for the purpose of approving the
record and of passing sentence upon its
convicted member. The form of the sen.
tence to be pronounced against the Rev.
DR.. Henry Preserved Smith is as follows
DR.. Smith is suspended from the ministry OF
the Presbyterian Church until such time as he
shall make manifest TO the satisfaction OF the
presbytery his remuneration OF the errors he has
been found to hold and his solemn purpose no
longer to teach or propagate them
The acquittal On the first charge and the
closeness of the vote on the other charges
and on the sentence are taken as good res-
sons why Professor Smith should appeal to
the Ohio Synod and to the General Assembly,
but. on the other hand. it Is said. the
known views of the synod are such that an
appeal will be in vain. except as . steu
toward reaching the General A ssembly.
There is deep feeling in the Presby terian
Church over the progress and the result Of
the trial. Many see in it the opening
wedge for divided church. One member
of the presbyter said, after the sentence
bad been agreed upon, 81 cannot foretell
the end OF this matter. eThe good Lord did
not sec fit to endow us with the power to
reach belief without the use Of our reason.
and cannot see how the vote of presby-
terry can settle questions for US that we
must decide by reason"
Rev. DR.. Smith said tonight that he did
not intend to let the matter rest here. He
says he will appeal the case to the synod.
which meets next September. Meantime
he will continue in his professors chair at
Lane Seminary.

Paris, Dec 2s.--The Figaro states that a book
containing copies of letters has been found in
the Offices Of the Panama Canal Company which
compromises a large number of Senators and Depu-
ties The book in question contains copies Of
correspondence with Herr and Arton relating TO
the sale OF votes In the Senate and Chamber OF
Deputies in behalf Of the Panama Canal schemes
There are letters demanding money, together with
the dates on which payments were made.
The book in question is one of the most val
liable pieces of evidence that have Yet fallen into
the hands of the Government and will he made
the basis of additional prosecutions. 1t estab-
fishes beyond doubt that Herr was not mere
blacl,maer but was an active go-betwccn in the
corrcspondcnce of legislators, having apparently
been treated with implicit confidence by Reinach
and Others.
