WASHINGTON, June 8.-Hoar's resolu-
ton to set at rest the claim OF the Govern
ment against the estate of the late Leland
Stanford was laid before the Senate at the
opening session to-day.
Teller suggested the resolution be modi-
fed to confine the inquiry simply to the

OTTAWA (Ont.). June 8.-The Dominion
Government will shortly ask Parliament
for vote of 1000 a year as subsidy

of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and
Prince Edwards Island will interview
the Government to ask for an abandon
menG of the scheme.
Some ten days ago word was received
by the Dominion Government from the
imperial authorities that they would con-
tinue to employ Chinese labor on fortifi-
cations now in course of construction at
Esquimault, b. G. This information was
in response to a letter addressed by the
Dominion Government, at the request of
Colonel Prior, member for Victoria, Il.
c.. submitting that there was plenty of
white labor TO be obtained in the pro-
vince. The letter from the imperial au-
thorities gives no reason for the continue
ance of the employment of Chinese labor,
but simply states as the British Govern
ment is paying for the Notifications it
will continue to employ any labor which
it sees fit. This is considered by all but
ultra Tories here to be slap in the face
to Canada.

his paper the following: 1t is ascertained
to-night that the German Minister to-day
notified our Government that if the one
tenth of a cent per pound discriminating
duty which has been placed by the SEN
ate on sugar is permitted to become law,
Germany will place retaliatory duty on
pork, lard and other food products now
imported from the United States, under
reciprocity arrangement. In view of
this notification, Secretary Carlisle has
addressed a communication to the Sem
ate Finance Committee urging the elm
ination of this provision of the
Senate bill which operates against
any Government allowing bounty
on refined sugar. Inasmuch as
Germany is the only competitor of the
American sugar trust, this discriminating
duty is levied practically against that
country. Should the Senate comply with
Secretary Carlisle's recommendation and
strike out the one-tenth Of cent provis-
ion the sugar trust will receive very
