CANADA WILL RETALiATE.
Discriminative Duties to BE Imposed
ON American Products.

Discriminative Duties to BE Imposed
ON American Products.
Since the provisions of the Dingley tariff
bill were announced 1t has been consider
ably canvassed at Montreal, Canada, and
the concensus of opinion seems to be that
it is hostile to the interests of Canada. The
lumber trade has been mostly to the front,
and there has been general demand for
an export duty on sawlogs and all kinds of
wood pulp. The indications are that the
government will accede to this demand,
and that the forthcoming revision of the
tariff will not be so much in the line of
lower duties as was promised before the
elections.
Alderman Prefontaine, NJ. P, who ha
just recently returned from conference
with the ministers at Ottawa, has limited
very plainly that this is the case, and that
retaliatory duties will be imposed against
the United States all along the line.

In the meanwhile the war preparations Of
Greece continue night and day, with no
indications of back down. Money does
not appear lacking for Greek equipment.
Large supplies Of arms and ammunition are
forthcoming, from what source is not clear.
A dispatch was received from Canea at
midnight Tuesday saying the transport
ship Clyde, with the British contingent OF
occupying troops had arrived and would
land them on the 24th. The proclamation
Of blockade consists of seven articles The
first provides that no neutral vessel nor any
vessel belonging to one OF the six powers
shall be allowed to land stores except at
ports occupied by the powers. The second
provides that no armed person nor no per-
son Of Greek nationality or unarmed, shall
be allowed to land without the authority Of
the senior naval officer on the station.
The remaining articles fix the blockade
limits and state the conditions under which
vessels are to be searched. BY the terms OF
the sixth article Greek ships found within
the blockade limits will be treated as hos
die vessels. By the seventh, any Greek
torpedo boats observed within the limits Of
the blockade will be fired upon as soon as
they come within range Of the interna-
tOnal fleet

Set Aside.
A formal application for resembling part
Of President Cleveland's forestry order
February % last, has been filed at the i'll
terror department by Senator Wilson of
Washington, supported by Representative
Jones OF the same state. It gives reasons
why the signers believe the reserva tons
made in Washington are prejudicial to
public interests, but asks for immediate
restoration Of only one of the reserves, the
Washington forest reserve, the largest in
the state, and embraces 2,594,24O acres.
All the others in Washington are pointed
out as object lessons. The petition con-
tends that many millions of acres of the
best lands are thus reserved from settle
ment and the terms of the proclamation
controlling miners are such that the mines
will have to be abandoned
