a large number of the native population
OF that island for the welfare of both
countries, earnestly desire that the se-

people Of Cuba should be accomplished.

its earnest sympathy with them. This
Congress would also welcome with sa-

complete sovereignty to the people of

by the Spanish government as to the
fidelity of the United States Government

GROVER GOES A-GUNNING

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2s, 1ss6-The
President has gone cunning again. but
only for a brief trip. With Mrs. Clevc-
land he attended a dinner, given in his
honor by the Attorney General, last
night, and then hastily changing his
dress suit for ducking costume, drove
from the White House to the Seventh
street wharf, where the lighthouse ten
der Maple was awaiting him. 1t was
midnight when the embarkation was
made
The handsome little vessel at once
steamed down the river: Her destination
was said to be Quantico, Va, twenty
five miles down the Potomac, the south
ernmost point of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road system There were some rumors
that the President might prolong his
trip by joining the other lighthouse ten
der Violet, ct Portsmouth, Va. but it is
believed the Presidents engagements
here will preclude this programme be-
ing carried out.
DR.. O'Reilly, the companion of previous
duck hunts, accompanies the President.
Everything connected with the Presiden-
tial departure was managed with the
customary secrecy

retardation of the Gulf streams, which,

taken into account when storm condi-

1t is well known that a variation of
two inches in the barometer's height
means one pound difference in atmos-
pheric pressure on the square inch, and
the significance of the fact which has

vailing last week when a stormy area
of high pressure prevailed on the North
Atlantic with a corresponding low pres
sure over the Gulf of Mexico.
Roughly taking the Gulf area at 1000
on the square inch amounts to over two
thousand million tons which undoubtedly
retarded the stream in considerable
degree. With the condition of last week

TO STUDY OUR ELECTION.
Three Distineuished I Canadian
Statesmen Journey tn New York
to Watch the Voting.

New York Nov. S-The Morning Ad-
verfiser tomorrow will say: Three men,
bers of the new Canadian cabinet were
so interested in the outcome of the recent
presidential election that they came to
New York TO study the methods upon
which it was conducted. and learn the re-
suit at the earliest possible moment. They
are William s. Fielding minister of
finance; William Patterson. minister OF
customs, and Andrew B. Blair minister
of railways.
The trio arrived a few days before the
election. and left 70. home last evening,
apparently we'll satisfied with the result.
They do not seem to share the opinion
expressed by a large section of the Can
adian press that Mr.. Mckinley will be
unduly hostile to them on the reciprocity,
fisheries. bond regulation and other ques-
tions at issue between this country and
Canada. Finance Minister Fielding. who
acted as spokesman for the party. when
seen said:
mo, l do not see any reason why Can
adams should be alarmed at the election
of Mckinley. l think the chances of ar
irving at an amicahle arrangement re-
gariing a number of questions over which
Canada and the United States are at
variance will be quite as good. IL not better,
after his Inauguration. than at any time
I'm the last four years"
that Mr.. Mckinley is a pronounced pro-
tectionist will initiate against Canadian
chances of obtaining reciprocity
treaty?''
II do not see why IL should. for the
Republican platform declares for both
protection and reciprocity
THE Canadian government Will be
pleased 10 open negotiations for reci-
procfty?''
Certainly: and will. unlike our prede-
cessors in office. be in earnest about it.
We will send representatives to Wash
ington City at as early a day after Mr.
McKiniey'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
the quarantine regulations The feeling
exists that there Is no further need for
the ninety days quarantine against cat
tie Mr. Fisher. the minister OF agricul-
ture will go to Washington City at an
early date TO discuss this matter"
