CALIFORNIA REDWOOD.

CALIFORNIA REDWOOD.
At the extreme southern end of the
building is shown the largest plank IN
the world. 1t is of redwood, from
Humboldt county, Cal. OF it the fol-
lowing description is given:
''The great tree from which the plank
was hewn was thirty-five feet in diam
eter, when standing, and was supposed
to have reached the patriarchal age of
fifteen hundred years. A part of one
side of the tree had rotted, and, after it
had been felled, in burning up the sur
rounding brush. still more of the tree
was destroyed by fire, SO that the width
of the plank represents less than half
of the original diameter of the tree.
The entire height of the tree was three
hundred feet; the plank being cut from
a section of the trunk twenty-eight
feet from the ground. The plank 10

Ex-PREMIER MERCIER's VIEWS.

He Favors Canadian Independence and An
nexation Under Certain Conditions.
Ex-Premier Honore Mercier of Quebec and
J. C. Langelier, late assistant registrar of the
province Of Quebec, arrived in Washington
this morning and are at the Riggs. Edward
Farrar. prominent pro-annexationist Of To-
ronto, is also here, but not in company with
Messrs. Mercier and Langeiier
Mr. MERCER informed STAB reporter that
he was visiting Washington pleasure tour
merely. and that annexation or other political
measures had nothing to do with his presence
at the capital.
In response to q request for his views upon
annexation Mr.. MERCER said
II can speak for the province OF Quebec
alone, for have no authentic knowledge Is to
the sentiment Of the rest Of the country.
There is with US strong feeling for annexs-
ton under certain conditions. The dominating
sentiment, however, is for a separation from
England and complete Canadian independ-
ence.
while there are many strong arguments in
favor Of annexation our independence comes
first. It is in fact. easier to secure independ-
ence than annexation. The United States is, of
course, powerful enough to swallow us. but is
too generous to do SO. Annexation must be
conducted by treaty and now England would
conduct the negotiations. England would
necessarily look after England's interests first,
but we're we Independents we could negotiate
our own terms"
DO you think that England would oppose
your independence"
mo; do not. / believe that il Canada
should ask England to be absolved from crown
control our request would be granted. Canada
lis a great country, well worthy anl qualified to
care for itself alone. Once our independence
is gained we would then consider the advisa-
bility Of union with the United States.
During nv recent visit in England talked
with many Englishmen upon the question of
our independence. The general sentiment of
the liberal party was that we should have il.
Many conservatives, too, expressed the same
views. Then Mr.. Gladstone and the late John
Bright and Lord Besconsfeld and other leading
English statesmen have expressed like senti-
ments.
There are many cogent reasons for annexa-
alton, including the commercial benefits ensu-
ing. Now Canadian must pay $50 and then
20 per cent upon the value of a horse before he
can ship it into the United States. This is
merely an example Again, there are LOCO, 900
French Canadians, or about one-half the entire
race, at present in the United States"
