HE RESPECTS ANNEXATION.

Bx.Prenier Mercier Gave q Very
Suggestive Address at Montreal -
Canadians Have Arrived at a Stage
Where They Must Make Up Their
Minds.
MONTREAL, April AK Premier Mer
cier of Qusbec In an address here tonight
said in part:
"The Canadian people have arrived at q
stage where they must make up their
minds to what the future Ia 60
ing to bs. A study of this ques-
ton resolves itself into O choice
of either continuation of the
status quo, political union with the
United States, or Independence. Imperial
federation has never been taken seriously
In this country, and Gladstone has given
1t its death blow. If We continue In our
colonial condition we recede; If we break
the colonial tie we will advance.
For many people, immediate entrance OF
Canada into American union Is the only
| solution to the problem that the future OF
| Canada presents. While I respect this
| opinion do not share 1t. That In certain
| respects such q union would be Of
advantage to us Is incontestible. Demol
ish the political wall which separates
US from the United States, destroy tn.
conditions that keep American capital on
of our country and you would have an in
pouring of riches that would surpsss tn,
most eanguine expectations.
"Chsnge our political condition, anne
liorate our economic situation 30 that Can
ada will offer this natural advantage tina
they find in the neighboring republic and
you will see French Canadians viii return
| to this country"

clerk of the board of public works, charged

pose of examination.
Mr.. Waldron was not put to plea, but

that bis client should be accorded the priv
ilege of examining the books which had
been denied him, and In support of his
argument cited the cases of Thomas d.

the motion, but Judge Prentice decided
that Mr.. Waldron and his counsel should

strictions, and the attorneys were author
lied to draw up an order and submit the

ing In this way Judge Prentice said that

The situation on the evening of election,

confidence In the attainment of majority,

There has been no contribution from
outside sources and the contributions have

Arguments Begun Yesterday at the

Arguments Begun Yesterday ut the
Sitting of the Court In Paris.
PARIS, April 4.-The court OF arbitration
to pass upon the differences between Great
Britain and America as to the seal fisheries
in Boring sea, began its session at 11:40 q.
m. In q large apartment in the Office of the
French foreign minister. Many American
ladies were among the audience.
Sir Charles Russell, the British attorney
general. of counsel for Great Britain,
opened the arguments by moving that Mr..
Campbell should furnish the court with Q
copy of the report of Sir Henry Elliott on
the Bering sea question, basing his apph-
cation on Article of the treaty of arbi-
tration.
Mr.. Phelps, in behalf of the United
States, denied that the report was referred
in the American case. The refusal of the
United States to produce the document
was not due to any desire to suppress the
report, but to the fact that 1t was applied
for too late for the American government
to prepare it's answers to the arguments
that might possibly be based on 1t. New
ertheless he would produce the report, as
he did not wish to engender the suspicion
OF desire to suppress evidence, but after
this concession he would decline to pro-
duce any further evidence.
Sir Charles Russell briefly oontended
that the report was referred to in the ap-
pendix and the appendix was referred to
in the case sufficiently to invoke article
of the treaty.
Mr.. Carter submitted for consideration
motion that the tribunal dismiss from the
arbitration go much of England's demand
IS relates to America and is contained in
chapter 10, page 3l5, of the British coun-
ter-case, referring to the expenditure for
supreme court proceedings. The motion
contemplated also the dismissal of the
clause concerning pelsgic sealers.
Mr.. Phelps moved the rejection of the
report of the Boring sea commission put In
evidence at the first meeting of the arbi-
traitors. His arguments In support of this
motion were mostly technical, and were
based upon a voluminous correspondence
between the United States and British
governments. His address was still un-
finished when the commission adjourned
