spondent in the United States, Mr.. George
w. Smalley. has had with Mr.. John Sher-
man. the secretary of state. Mr.. Smalley,
i'm substance says: after long CONVEX
sation with Mr.. Sherman, believe that he
has no very definite settled opinions on for
eign policy. and does not hope to make
them felt in the Senate. He does not think
that foreign affairs are of the first i'm
portance. or even of high Importance, APP
proves platonically of the doctrine of arbi-
tration. and may readily enough FOLLOW the
Presidents lead. But he does not seem
sure that the amendments proposed for the
arbitration treaty are of much Importance.
though nc has been told plainly that the
British government will not proceed with
TIE treaty thus amended. His interest in
Cuba is more direct, his purpose is clearer
and his senatorial jingoism has fallen off
him like WORKOUT garment. He declares
there would be no change of policy in re-
gard to Cuba, nd that there would be no
war with Spain, saying: We want none.
ard we do not believe Spain wants war. If
Spain gave me quit deed claim to Cuba,
L would not have it,
Referring TO Canada, he repealed the no.
ton of desiring to annex Canada, and said
that under the British crown she, had all
the freedom she would have if independent,
adding: If wise. she will maintain her con-
nection with England My dream for a re-
mote permanent future of North America
is three great republics = Canada. the
United States and Mexico-but we shall
not take a step 20 alter things as they are.
What is to come hereafter must come from
natural political evolution

One of the passengers of the Beaver line
steamer Lake Winnipeg. a man named
Daph, has described the terrible experiences
of that vessel on her long passage across
the Atlantic. The Lake Winnipeg left ST
| John, n. b., on Feb. IA, for Liverpool, and
| only arrived in the River Mersey on Thurs
| day. twenty-five days out. 1t appears that
| the first mishap occurred on Feb Il. Very
| heavy weather was experienced. tremen-
dous seas swept over the steamer and wa
| ter poured into her engine room TO such ar
extent that her fires were eXtinguished. The
pumps were put to work. but they became
choked and Captain Taylor summoned the
crew and passengers and informed then
| that the situation was serious. and that al
hands must go to work with buckets in al
| attempt TO clear the ship. This was done
continuously for seven days. during which
| the Lake Winnipeg drifted helpless about
| the ocean. Many cattle and sheep died dur
| ing this time and the liteboats were helC
/ ready for launching. But the weather was
so severe at one time that several of the
| lifeboats were smashed and after one terri
| BILE roll, the cargo shifted and the Lake

| ever. enabled the starboard engine TO b'
| worked for n couple of days, when tn
| heavy sea again swamped the engine room
| and the bucket brigade was reorganlzed
! But all the efforts of the passengers anC
| crew in this direction had no effect on tn
| volume of water she had shipped ans
| the crew asked Captain Taylor L
| allow the Lake Winnipeg TO be taken il

| courage and determination and succeeded

| terrible days of battling with the wave
| followed. during which all the live stool
