RELATIONS WITH CANADA,

New York Mail and Express: England Is
perfectly willing that Canada shall establish
a reciprocity treaty with the United States.
provided IL does not Interfere with English
control of Canadian markets. In other words
the reciprocity must be of the kind thai
doesn't reciprocate.
Chicago Inter Ocean: II Is perfectly eyi.
dent that Sir Wilfrds program was to stub.
bornly refuse TO stop the killing of fur seals
out OF season unless some sort OF reciprocity
could be secured which would give the
Canadians free access to our markets. That
was not to be thought of and so the gentle
man from Ottawa blew out his candles and
silently went back home.
Philadelphia Press: Let Canada 20 on, aa
now, carrying out its separatist policy by
differcntial duties on imports through our
ports and by cutting through rail rates on
our lines. Let the United States begin
guarding its own interests. Let congress
close out the seal herd and end that contrp-
versy, since Canada will not aid in preserv-
ing them for their own sake. Let difreren,
till duties be imposed on imports through
Canada. Let the free passage of Canadian
oars over our frontier be stopped. Impose
our duties rigidly on all supplies for Klon-
dixie which are not American, and meet
Canadian impcsts by countervaillng trans.
shipment duties Let the executive occupy
our frontier, enforce our laws and withdraw
all privileges enjoyed by Canada. The
United States has made concessions long
enough. 1t Is time for the digniaed but con-
sstent exercise of all American rights 20
the American control of trade on this conti-
nent. If Canada chooses to stay outside OF
our system OF continental trade let Canada
reap the full fruits of a separa,st policy,
Philadelphia Ledger: The experts came
to an agreement yesterday at Washington
concerning the condition of the seal herds
setting forth that the pribyloff herd has
diminished from 1884 to 1897; that the num-
Der of breeding females in 1897 was between
100000 and 10000; that the decrease during
the past year was marked but its extent
cannot be estimated. Among the numerous
points agreed upon ard taken out of the
field of contention were the following: The
land killing of males as now pursued does
not injure the herd; the pelagic sealers re-
! spect the rules governing the subject; the
sea catch contains a large preponderauce
of females; a larger number of male seals
may be killed without Injury to the herd. but
| females cannot be taken in similar numbers
without stopping an increase Of the herd:
pelagic sealing has recently declined in
greater degree than the herd has diminished;
the herd is not threatened with eXtnrmina-
tioB while its land haunts are protected
The experts agree, furthermore that all
kinds of seal killing produce slight profit
The four experts signed the agreement. thus
closing the technical and scientific side Of
| the controversy.
