General Cardenas came in the early

The first visit was to Cabana. When
they saw that the arrangements had
failed the rebels went after Fumiero. He
fled across the harbor and the rebels
did not dare follow. Then the rebels
went to Casa de los Frailes, the priests
house. where they took blankets, silver
plate and money. This house is close
to Moro castle. The priest made a great
outcry. but no soldiers came. The rebels

CANADIAN STATEMENT OF THE CASE.
How Sir Louis Davies Looks at the Seal
Expert Report-Re Reciprocity.


Toronto Ont, Nov. 29-Sir Louis
ii. Davies, al a meeting of the Liberals
here, referred TO his recent visit to
Washington TO attend the seal confer
ence He said: The seal experts set
tied the question of fact in such a way
that hereafter ii cannot be opened up.
We know exactly where we are We
know that the seal herd has diminished
in an extraordinary degree in late years
and we know that pelagic sealing has
diminished more than the herd and by
far greater percentage. We know, too.
as a declaration Of the experts Of both
countries, that there is no immediate
danger Of the extinction Of the herd.
and that the kind Of pelagic sealing
practiced by Canadian fishermen does
not imperil or threaten the existence OF
the herd, and we know further that as
a commercial venture it does not pay
either country. That is about the sum
and substance Of the case"
Continuing, Sir Louis said it was
pointed out to the Americans that Can
ada had taken her stand in reference to
her tariff; had proclaimed and given
effect to a preferential trade arrange
ment and that the representatives
could not enter into any agreement
which should directly or indirectly pre-
judice the principle of preference. They
were told that the right to catch seals
being a national right indicated by the
great Paris tribunal as a legitimate
industry on the part Of British subjects,
could not be disposed Of for a mere
money consideration; that Canada did
not sell national rights for money.
But they were told that Canada's rep
resentatives were willing that it should
be treated as one of a large number OF
large questions and put, as it were. in
the hodge-podge in the the settlement.
IL the United States could see their way
clear to admit our lumber, TO make
coal reciprocally free on both sides. to
make fish, salt and fresh, free and such
articles as barley. eggs, potatoes and
other things OF that kind. an arrange
ment might be made which would be
mutually profitable and satisfactory to
both countries. Sir Wilfrid Laurier
had not surrendered one iota OF Cana
dian rights or Canadian privileges.

Wheat.

The Agricultural Department es-
Inmates the present wheat crop at
total OF $50, 900, 900 bushels,
winch is probably much under the
actual yield, as the governments
estimates for the past six or seven
years have unIformally been under
estimates. BradsfreefS puts the
probable yield in the United States
at $50, 900, 900 bushels. Adding
the present reserves and deducting
10, 600, 600 bushels reserve for
July 1898 there is left available
for home and foreign demands dur
ing the next twelve months. The
Government, some years ago, es-
timated that we consume about
4.65 bushels of wheat per capita.
With a population of 10, 600, 900,
consuming wheat at this average,
gas, 900, 600 bushels of the new
crop will be needed for home con-
sumption. About $4,000, 900
bushels are used for seed in winter
and spring wheat states, and, de-
Quoting this. there is left for ex-
port only I6I, 900, 600 bushels.
During the past twelve months we
have exported I46, 900, 600 bushels
and the aggregate European wheat
crop, according to eminent author
ity, "may easily be 90, 900, 900 to
40, 900, 900 bushels less than last
year"
The prospect is bright for the
American wheat farmer.

Gratis will have strong, and--to Mr..
Grayot--dangerous support.
Speaking of "above suspicion,
the truth is that that Hopkins
County "gang of Republicans
has made the pathway to fat office
for revenue only very thorny for
ohm Grayot and other demagogic
would-be leaders, and the sympathy
of the free silver editor candidate

BILE persecution waged alone for
political ACKNOWLEDGEMENT by John
Grayot and other demagogues
against the Secretary of the Re-
publican Campaign Committee
will come the looked-for political
boom transformed into an unwel-
come political boomerang. Their
record of failure to bully either OF
two grand juries into returning an
indictment on trumped up charges
of bribery is not a strong basis
for a winning race either as to their
bullying on the one hand or their
failure on the other.

THE editorial page of the last
Princeton Banner is a study. First
appears the 'joint ticket" under
which is the name of the editor as
candidate for representative. We
have no criticism to make as to
this, but the free silver editor-can-
didate-on-the- "joint-ticket" criti-
cises and cusses THE BEE and Re-
publicans of Hopkins and Caldwell
for favoring the endorsement OF
the National Democratic nominee
for commemorative attorney in OPP

These assertions are made:
"The Darlington BEE is q

"The Courier Journal is con.
temptible."
"Gov. Boies was never a silver
man."
And these are false.

in the single phrase "free- silver

THE sensational papers that are
publishing columns of matter to
show that mere political change
