CANAD4'S TARIFF POLICY.

SIR RICHARD CARTWRIGHT EXPRESSES CORDIAL
FRIENDSHIP FOR THE UNITED STATES.
Ottawa, Ont. April 26-Sir Richard Cartwright
in the House to-day replied 10 Mr.. Fosters speech
OF last Friday on the tariff. he admitted that the
tariff was not what free-traders would Ike, but
the Government had also 10 consider the indus
tries of the country. II was not ideal, but 1t was
much better than the Foster tariff of 1896 and the
improvements were in the right direction 81!
Richard regretted that the United States had de.
cided TO keep up its tariff against Canada and
therefore compelled the offer OF preferential treat
ment TO England. 1t was not an offer directly
made TO England but had that effect, since Eng
land alone in position TO take advantage or
it, The preferential offer made to the Who'll
world, and Sir Richard would like TO see thu
United States get the benefit OF it. In fact, h"
thought that time would bring the United State.
round to this way Of thinking,
But whether the people OF the United state
wanted 10 trade with Canada or not he wished .

the interest of Canada. but in the interest OF Ems

A BROKEN AXLE AGAIN RESPONSIBLE FOR A
DELAY IL TRAIN SERVICE.
Bridge traffic was blocked yesterday morning for
about half an hour at o'clock by the breaking of
an axle on one OF the Bridge motor-cars just a
train was arriving at the Brooklyn terminal. The
railroad was running the schedule Of sixteen
trains and in a few minutes the south track was
blocked almost to the tower. 1t was tho fourth
cident on the Bridge railroad in the last five weeks
caused by a broken axle. The Bridge officials
much puzzled TO account for the breaking OF these
axles which are said TO be the best that money
can buy At the last meeting Of the trustees II
decided equip all new motor-cars with axles half
an inch thicker In diameter
IL is thought By some that the trouble with the
broken axles is caused by the fact that the gauge
of the Bridge rails Is not sufficiently wide the
curves. This is denied by Chief Engineer Martin
The Bridge police estimate the number that walked
the promenade in the block yesterday morning az
over five thousand.
