Fisheries Trouble ON the Great Lakes,
the bonding privilege granted Canadian
railroads; the controversy over rights
in the Fraser river, British Columbia,
and in the Puget sound, and also the
question Of a reciprocity arrangement
between the United States and Canada.
There is direct and definite information
that Sir Wilfred comes prepared to take
up all these questions, and, if possible,
include them in one general settlement
whereby the constant friction they have
engendered may be overcome. On
some of these subjects he will confer
with. President Mckinley, and on at
