ENGLAND ALARMED
Lest Canadians Agree to Favorable
Trade Relations With the
United States.

New York, Nov. 1O.-A London cable
gram to the Evening Post says:
In view of the visit of Sir Wifred
Laurier and Sir Louis Davies to Wash
ington, it is understood that Mr.. Cham
berain forwarded to Lord Aberdeen last
week important recommendations on the
future trade relations between Canada
and the United States from the imperial
point of view. Though Mr. Chamber
lain has abandoned his zollveren schemes
he would view with keen disappointment
and grave forebodings the ultimate eff
feet on the English attitude towards the
dominion if Sir Wilfred Laurier's ac-
cepts any such trade agreement with the
states as Mr.. Blaine once proposed, in
vOlving discrimination against England.
Sir Wilfred Laurier himself and Mr..
Fielding, Canadian minister of finance,
who is now visiting in London, have given
definite assurances that Canada never
would consent to such determinations.
They have not, however. disguised the
fact that if the United States showed a
neighborly attitude toward Canada on
outstanding trade and other questions,
they would go a long way to meet Wash
ington advances short of discrimination.
1t is believed they might even go so far
as to place England and the United
States on a tariff equality. This would
seem to involve the abandonment of the
policy of a preferential tariff on British
goods, which, though not yet realized,
created extraordinary enthusiasm here
Canadian ministers contend, however,
that Canada can render no greater SER
vice to the empire than by assisting to
restore Anglo American accord.

POLITE BUT FIRM.
Uncle Sam Requests of Peru a Speedy
Settlement of the McCOrd Claim.

Washington, Nov. lott is under
stood that the department of state has
addressed another note to the Peruvian
minister, DR.. Eguigeren, politely but
firmly requesting speedy settlement of
the claim for indemnity Of Victor H.
McCord, an American citizen, who was
ill treated by the Peruvian officers while
in charge of railroads during a rebellion.
The present Peruvian minister came to
this country with the expressed pur-
pose of settling this claim and has re-
peatedly sought to get the state depart
ment to reopen the investigation of the
facts in the case. The department. how
ever, declined to do this, being satisfied
with the presentation of the case made
through it's own minister and agents.
and so has fallen back on the strong
note sent last year by Mr.. Olney, in
sisting upon a settlement of the claim.
1t is held that nothing now remains but
to adjust the sum to be paid McCord,
and $4,000 is mentioned as proper
sum, being about half of the original
claim. Moreover it is believed that no
opening is left by the department for
arbitration or anything short of an i'm
mediate settlement as the price of the
friendship of the United States govern
ment

For moment the big lawyer looked

"Allow a client to confess against

Judge Smith. accompanied by District
Attorney Walter Jay Cox of Suffolk

THE CONFERENCE HAS begun
REPRESENTATIVES, OF CANADA,

MEET IN WASHINGTON.
PROCEEDINGS 70 Be KEPT SECRET
Short Meeting Yesterday Supposed
to Have Outlind Plan of Proceed
ure-Premier Lnurier Refused
to Be Interviewed.

Washington, Nov. 10.-Sir Wilfret
Laurier Sir Louis Daviess AMI tn
other prominent Canadian officials VIII,
were to confer with the government au
thorities were busy today arranging fol
the Boring sea meeting.
The Canadian premier received callers
in very democratic fashion at hi.
apartments in the Shoreham, but to al
he gave the reply that it would be
| manlfestly premature at this stage fol
| him to discuss the outlook of the Der
| ing sea question or any other subjects
which concern the United States INC
Canada. He and Sir Louis desired first
to communicate with the seal experts OF
| the United States and Great Britain
| before indicating any course of action
He made it clear, also, that they would
give their exclusive attention TO this
| subject till some conclusion was reached
and that other questions, such as reel
| procity, border immigration etc, would
| not be referred to till the first purpose
of the visit was accomplished. 1t was
stated that the official purpose of the
visit was to consider the Boring sea
matter, and that future circumstances
would develop how far other questions
would be considered. When the subject
of reciprocity and border immigration
were suggested to Sir Wilfred. he diplo-
matically stated that for the present
the Boring sea matter was the only
one to which he and his associates had
given their attention.
In accordance with the arrangements
made this morning, the experts repre-
senting the three governments. England,
the United States and Canada. assem-
bled at the state department about 2:3O
o'clock this morning. There were
Messrs Jordan, Thompson and Macoun.
In addition Gen. Foster and Mr.. Hamil-
ton were in attendance for the United
States and Sir Louis Daviess for Can
ada. Sir Julian Pauncefote excused
himself from coming on account of i'll
ness.
The meeting lasted for about an hour,
and presumably the proceedings were
mainly preliminary and designed to out
line a plan of procedure. Mr.. Hamlin
was elected chairman. 1t was officially
stated that the proceedings were secret
in the sense that nothing could be given
out for publication before the end If
the deliberations. Another meeting will
be held at IL o'clock tomorrow morning.
The treaty which was negotiated this
week between the United States, Japan
and Russia for the further protection of
the seals, was not referred to in tOday's
meeting. although it's general provisions
are known to the British delegates. The
feature of the treaty is said to be the
short time it is to continue IN force,
the limit being one year.

Peru and Reciprocity.

Washington, Nov. 1O.-Peru has taken
steps to secure whatever advantages
may be reaped under the reciprocity
clauses of the new tariff act. The min
lister from that country, DR.. Won Victor

to Secretary Sherman and to Assistant
Secretary Day. Mr. Kasson, who is
specially charged with the conduct of
the negotiations touching reciprocity,
was called into consultation, and in a
short time the initial steps had been
taken to formulate basis OF agree
ment between the United States and
Peru on reciprocity scheme. Owing
to the large amount of work which is
involved in such negotiations, it may
be some time yet before the matter is
brought to the point of agreement.
