CANADIANS PRACTICE FRAUDS

Formal Protests May be Made Re-
garding Immigration Agents.
NEW YORK, July 26.-An Ottawa
special says: An interesting interna-
tional question is to be raised as to the
right of the Canadian government
agents to enter the United States in dis
guise, with view of inducing settlers
there to emigrate to the Canadian
Northwest. At least 40 of these agents
are at work all the way from Maine
to Dakota. It is further said that
q special effort is to be made to induce
the farmers of New York east of
Cape Vincent to emigrate. The deputy
minister of the interior states that last
year 2, 400 settlers were secured for the
Canadian Northwest from the United
States. A resident of the United States
who has been investigating this matter
is reported to be preparing to file
formal complaint at Washington. The
disguise usually assumed by the Cana
dian agents is that of farmer, and the
chief argument used is the vast inferi
ority of the American soil in compari-
son with that of Canada.

America Not Interested.

WASHINGTON, July $3.50 far as the
state department is informed there are
no American citizens residing in Siam
except about score of missionaries. 1t
is not believed to be necessary to take
any special measures for their protec-
ton. The United States has no diplo-
matte representative in Siam, and the
consul general at Bangkok, Mr.. Royal,
Is in this country at present, leaving
the Office in charge Of his son, the vice
consul. If the welfare of our mission.
aries should be threatened, which is
unlikely, they can without doubt Sc
cure protection upon application to
the minister of some other nation, as
will be the case with the French resi-
dents.

REAL ESTATE CONGRESS.
Titles and Transfers Will Be an Inn
portant Topic at St. Paul

Titles and Transfers Will Be an I'm
portant Topic at St. Paul.
ST. PAUL, July 26.-Arrangements
for the National Real Estate convention
to be held in this city Aug. 81, % and
%, are nearly completed. From ad-
vices received by the Real Estate Ex-
change there will be large attendance.
Probably the most interesting topic
that will come up for discussion in the
convention is that of Transfers and
Titles" At the last national conven-
ton committee was appointed to look
up the matter and report to this con-
recommended to the various state legis-
latures. Nearly every state at present
has a law different in it's essential con-
ditions from the real estate law of every
other state, and it is the work of tho
committee to examine all these different
methods and select what it considers
the best points of each. The committee
is also considering the question of a
state guarantee of titles in real estate.
A meeting of the committee was held
at New York a short time since. In
the course of an article upon the sub
ject the New York Herald said:
Real estate transfer in most of the
states is cumbersome and tedious
undertaking, involving more labor and
annoyance than the transfer of any
other kind of securities. In New York
much of this difficulty has been OBJ
waited by the Olmstead system of block
transfer, but in other states real estate
conveyancing is accomplished only
under the most antiquated systems.
The hope of the National Real Estate
association is to so change the law that
real estate deeds can be bought and
sold in the open market with the same
facility as railroad stocks and bonds
After house and lot have been sold,
even under the New York law, it gen.
orally takes 30 days before title can be
passed and the full purchase price paid.
Men who are running on close margin
do not care to hold security that it
takes a month to realize upon, and an
army of men and millions of money are
kept out of the real estate market as a
