while in the east I accomplished
some of the most important results. At
Pittsburg I met and drew up articles of
agreement with Mr.. Davis, who operates
number of theaters in and about that
city, for a syndicate to control and op-
crate vaudeville houses in the cities of
Baltimore, st. Louis and one other large
city which l am not at liberty to make
public. A new amusement company was
formed and a site for theater in st.
Louis was secured which will cost not
less than $150,O00. The theater in Balti-
more is already built and will be an
nounced as soon as certain papers are
returned signed l have a similar I'M

us circuit that will enable us either to
bring our own attractions direct from

as spokesman for the party when seen,
said: me, 90 net see any reason why
Canadians should be alarmed at the
election of Mckinley. think the chances
of arriving at an amicable arrangement
regarding a number of questions over
which Canada and the United States are
at variance will be quite as good, if not
better, after his inauguration than at
any time in the last four years."
'Then you do not believe that the fact
that Mr.. Mckinley is a pronounced pro-
tectionist will initiate against Canadian
chances of obtaining reciprocity
treaty."
II do not see why it should, for the Re
publican platform declares for both pro-
lection and reciprocity"
1.-THE Canadian government Will be
pleased to open negotiations for a reci-
procity?"
Certainly and will, unlike our prede-
cessors in Office be in earnest about it.
We will send representatives to Wash
ington at as early a day after Mr.. Nc
Kinley's inauguration as is eXpedient
to ascertain whether negotiations can be
opened on the subject of reciprocity. One
of the first items to be discussed will be
quarantine regulations. The feeling ex-
lists that there is no further need for the
ninety days quarantine against cattle.
