PARIS, Feb. 5.-Senator Wolcott Of
Colorado, who is now visiting Europe
in the interest of bimetallism, has had
an interview with Premier Meline.
The correspondent Of the Associated
Press learns on authority that the in
terviews which he has so far had have
been without the result hoped for by
the senator. The interview with Pres
ident Faure on Sunday was short and
formal, and afforded no encouragement
to look for q tangible result.
M. Loubet, president of the senate,

is understood to have expressed him.
self enthusiastically on the subject of
bimetalllsm, but on the other hand,
Premier Meline was very guarded IN
his expressions. He is reported to have
said that however favorable France
might be to the object sought, nothing
could be done unless the consent Of
England and Germany was previously
obtained. ~
In official quarters, little confidence Il
felt In the ultimate success Of Senator
Woloott's mission, although the sens.
ator seems to be sanguine Of England

The Canadian Case Never Fairly
Laid Before the United

OTTAWA, Ont. Feb. 5.-Sir Richard
Cartwright aud H. L. Davies. minister
of marine and fisheries, have gone to
Washington, where they are to meet
leading political men to discuss the
tariff, alien labor law and other mat.
ters, which for . long time have been
the subject of friction between Canada
and the United States. Conservative
newspapers denounce the mission,
ridiculing the idea of the representa-
tives Of the Canadian government even
getting hearing at Washington. Mr..
Laurier and his ministers have, always
contended that Canada's case has never
been laid fairly before the United
States, and there has never been repre-
sentations made of what concessions
Canada would make II the United
States would meet her half way. Both
the Canadian and United States gov.
ernments, they say, are starting on q
new era. Both are new from the peo-
pie, and as member of the cabinet
here said: ut is well. il possible, that
we should know each others views, as
affecting our mutual interest in start
ing out, il q friendly chat will secure
it. It Is to that end the present infor-
