LIBERALS DISSATISFIED"
Strong Criticism of Laurier's Course
III Negotiations.

TORONTO, Nov. 16-The Globe, the
leading Liberal paper in Canada, says:
conservative newspapers keep up a
constant fire of criticism on Sir Will
frid Laurier, because, as they allege,
tariff between Great Britain and Can
ada, as proposed by Mr.. Chamberlain.
1t is just as we'll that the real facts
of the matter should be known. Dur
ing the visit of the premier to Great
Britain Mr.. Chamberlain made the
proposition that there should be abso
lutte free trade between Great Britain
and her colonies, on condition that the
former place a small duty on commodi-
ties from foreign countries. Sir Lau-
rier, speaking for Canadians, said he
Canadian government had already ar
ranged for an abatement of duties on
British goods to the extent of % per
cent, and as the whole fabric of Cana
dian finances, as well as Canadian
industry, was founded on customs du-
ties, he could not for moment con-
slider a proposition to remove them.
Mr.. Chamberlain remarked, with refer
ence TO Sir Wilfrid Laurier'S reply.
that he would not touch with tOnSs
the subject of a preferential tariff on
any other basis than that Of absolut
free trade between Great Britain and
her colonies. These are the facts and
this is the sort of arrangement that
Sir Wilfrid is being daily denounced
for not accepting.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16. - Consul
Monaghan, at Chemnitz, in a report
to the state department on Germany's
exports to the United States, says:
Germany is alarmed. Exports to the
United States are dropping off. Moth
ing so alarming has appeared in two
years. America was always the best
customer in many lines of manufac-
lures. In the September quarter of
1896, seventeen consular districts sent
to the United States goods amounting
to $14,4S1, Ala. In the same quarter in
1897 the same districts sent $7,189, 112.
The average loss over all the empire

this indicates much more than mere
money losses to our revenues. 1t in

accurate. Each issue urges intelligent

Since baby went to sleep to-day.
Not In her downy cradle nest,
With rosy cheek to pillow pressed.
While soft her tender breathings lift
The coverlet Of pinken drift,
BIT to couch of chilling gloom,
The sunlight banished from the room.
Saviour: cannot, cannot pray,
Since baby went to sleep to-day.
She will not waken, though we weep;
Her slumber is too still and deep.
And tears Ind kisses cannot warm
Our precious baby's sleeping form.
Christ: help me though cannot pray
Since baby went to sleep to-day.
Those hands that would not let me weal
A blossom at my throat or hair,
But pulled it's petals Off to see
Why sweetness in flower should be-
Warm, restless hands; now waxen cold
Clasped round the lily buds they hold,
She will not stir them in this sleep
To disarrange the trust they keep.
Christi help my breaking heart to pray
Though baby went to sleep to-day.
Drawn on her white feet, side by side,
The yellow shoes with ribbons tied,
She hover will unite again
TO find their hidden treasures ten.
Dear Christ: my heart can only pray
Let her awake with Thee to-day.

you? Why, she is the greatest girl there

ing out just what man doesn't want to

to relate wonderfully brilliant feat
of "Dolly's," but the person to whom he
was talking had neither eyes nor ears.
He heard nothing and he saw nothing.

himself up and slapping the other on
the back, "you look perfectly dunn

Wentworth repeated to himself, with

misginng, warning him that, after all,
it might be true. With his hands
clasped behind him he walked up and
down, trying to collect himself-trying
to remember what he had told and what
he had not. AS he walked along, heed
ing nobody, sweet voics from one Of
the chairs thrilled him and he paused.
"Why, Mr.. Wentworth, what is the
matter with you this morning2 You
look as If you had seen a ghost"
Wentworth glanced at the young
woman seated in the chair, who was
gazing up brightly at him.

would probably have said his offensive
familiarity. Fleming seemed to think
himself a genial good fellow, and he was
immensely popular with certain class
in the smolking-room. He was lavishly
free with his invitations to drink, and
he always had case Of good cigars
in his pocket, which he bestowed with
great liberality. He had the habit Of
slapping man boisterously on the back
and saying: "Well, old fellow, how are
you? How's things?" He usually con-
fided to his listeners that he was q self
made man, had landed at New York
without cent in his pocket and look
at him now.
Wentworth was icy toward this man,
but frigidity had no effect whatever on
the exuberant spirits Of the New York
politician.
"Well, old man." cried Fleming to
Wentworth, as he came up to the latter
and linked arms affectionately. "What
lovely weather we are having for winter
time"
1T is good" said Wentworth.
"Good. It's glorious Who would

CHAPLIN'S Big DISCOVERY
FINDS THAT BOOKS AND REPORTS
DISAGREE IN MANY CASES.
Sensational Testimony Brouyht Out In the Trial
Of Boston Contractor.

Boston, June 6.-The most startling
climax which has come In the city hall
false -pretense cases was that which
came yesterday afternoon during the
cross-examination Of young William To-
bin.
It. was wholly unexpected, and 1t fell
Ola the assembled listeners in the court
room with the suddenness Of thunder
bolt.
Tobin, whose father is foreman of
the south end district, was on the wit
ness stand, and had told what his duties
were. and Of his assisting In the carry
ing Of the daily reports of the foremen
from the city hall to the south yard
for storage last January. just as he had
in the previous trial.
There was nothing in his manner to
indicate that he knew anything more
than he had previously testified to, up
to the moment that Assistant District
Attorney Mclaughlin sat down with the
laconic That's ALL" which signalizes
the close Of a witness testimony.
The moment the assistant district at
torney sat down Mr.. Chaplin proceed
ed to cross-examine young Tobin.
In the lengthy cross-examination
which followed 1t was one long unin-
terrupted series Of admissions on the
part of Tobin that his reports did not
agree with his fathers books, Of which
they were supposed to be copy, that
In some cases where the names Of con-
tractors did not at all appear on the
fathers books he had himself credited
them with anywhere from one to three
or four teams q day, and that this had
continue all through the period for
which the daily reports were available.
Young Tobin's testimony produced a
tremendous sensation amongst those
who heard 1t, and the murmurs In the
courtroom told plainly enough how 1t
affected the listeners. His father who
Immediately followed him as a witness,
said that he had no idea that such a state
Of things existed in his office until he
heard his son cross s-examined.
The significance Of young Tobin's tes-
timony lies in the fact that he admitted
without qualification that there was q
systematic adding or taking away from
the daily reports which he copied from
his fathers books Of the amount Of work
credited to certain contractors.
The daily reports Of the district fore
men covering a lengthy period during
1896 are missing, and were not produced
during the preceding trial.
