0 passp Unless some effort Is soon
made. nothing will be done! Two
years ago., agitation relating to the
planting Of trees began in the early
winter, followed by an arrangement
whereby trees were brought into Inc
town and sold at nominal prices, and
thereby a large amount Of tree-plan'ing
was done, the fruits Of which are now
beginning to be apparent all over the
city. Last year was q of neglect ana
the season passed with only slight ad-

for the building up Of their town, ant
you will have a city of growth, beauty

canadian Premier's Views on nm
Imperial Commercial Union.

New York, June 1.-THE Evening
post today published the following CODY,
rlgnted cablegram from London:
MI. Wllfred Laurier, the Canadian pre-
mler, has given new and somewhat
dramatic turn to the talk of schemes of
imperial unity and ACKNOWLEDGMENT, of
which the air in England is very full lust
how Every other colonial premier here
now, while overlooking with expressions
OF loyalty, is assuring England of the
dlre consequences if she will not barter
away her free trade in exchange for
tariif preferences in colonial markets
Inc Duke of Devonshires speech ot
liverpool ON Saturday, following Mr.,
ohamberlan's lukewarm attitude in 70.
gard to free trade, is interpreted as indi.
eating the readiness of the imperial GOV
eminent to make some move in the
direction of an imperial customs union
wneh the question comes up in conference
between Mr. Chamberlain and the pre-
liners e Inns may include duties on such
foreign imports as wheat, -four and
meal from America and the Argentine Re.
public, which compete with Canada
and Australian products. This was mart
OF Mr. Chamberlain's sollverein idea,
1t is at this interesting moment that
Mr.. Laurier steps forward and declares
the zollyerein to be mere protection, and
asserts that protection has been the
curse of Canada and would be the great.
est possible mistake for England and the
empire. 'ne
BY our tariff" said Mr.. Laurier. 1--WE
IN Canada, give you preference as a free
gift. We ask nothing in return: we do
not desire you to abandon the grand
principles of free trade; we desire
rather to follow in your free trade lead
trading where trading is most natural
Protection must weaken you and SO hurt
the empire and Canada as a part of il. ;,
Asked as to the Duke of Devonsbire,s
scheme of imperial naval defense. under
which the West Indies are being fortified
Mr.. Laurier said:
There is only one country with whom
Canada could ever be at war. That
country is the United States. and war
with the United States is a confluence
l refuse to discuss. Such a war wonld
not only be folly, but a crime ''
These utterances, in view of Mr.. Lam
rier's prominence among colonial nre-
miers, can not fail to have great effect
upon the imperial policy, which is nm.
doubtedly preparing a new departure.

KILLED BY A CONSTABLE.
Suspected Horse Thief Showed Fight
When Called UDOn to Surrender

Harold, Tex, June 14.-(Special.)-On
Saturday a man calling himself Frank
Moore passed through Harold and tried to
sell a dapple gray Norman mare and a
black horse branded RA on right Shout
der, and two saddles. Constable jim
Piper suspected something wrong, made
some Investigation and found that the
mare fitted the description of one stolen
near Sherman. He. with c. f. Melon
aid, on Sunday morning took his trail and
found him with the property at John
Green's, five miles northwest of town.
They proceeded to make close examination
of the saddle, etc, and feeling sure they
had the right man, Piper told him they
would have to take him with them. He
at once reached for his gun, and the boys
drew theirs and told him to put up his
gun, Moore pointing his gun from one to
the other Of the officers. Piper command
ed him again TO put up his gun, as he
didn't want to hurt him. Moore reached
for the hammer of his pistol and replied
he would never do it, and Piper fired, the
ball entering the mouth and passing out
below the right ear on the right side of the
neck, breaking his neck. Justice Prince
was summoned, and found $56.15 in mon
ey, 4j-calibre Colts pistol, cartridges,
and some other articles of minor import
ance. The body was taken to Vernon.

REPUBLICAN CAUCUS.
Opinion Prevailed That n Hawaiian
Annexation Treaty Would Soon
Show Up.

Washington, June 14,-The republican,
senator's were in caucus more than three
hours today, and when adjournment had
been reached not very much progress had
been made The Hawaiian treaty propo-
sition was passed over, to be considered
ot another caucus, as several senators
expressed the opinion that If it was true
that n treaty of annexation was to be
sent in it would be absurd to enact leg
islation looking to the abrogatiOn Of the
treaty of reciprocity. Senators who were
aware of the progress of the annexation
treaty did not feel at liberty to give the
caucus full information. Although there
was much reticence observed, it was be-
lieyed the president would be consulted
tomorrow on the subject of the proposed
treaty. The caucus was in session from
s until 11:30 and three propositions only
were under consideration. These were:
The question of what to do with the Ha-
waiian reciprocity treaty, the ACCESSIBILITY
of giving a bounty on beet sugar and the
question of an antitrust amendment.
The Hawaiian treaty question was
passed over, but the sugar bounty prOpO-
sition was withdrawn and the antitrust
amendment was referred to the republic
can members of the judiciary committee.
The Hawaiian question was the first
matter taken up after the caucus opened.
This subject had been referred to the
finance committee, and Senator Allison,
speaking on behalf of the committee. said
it had been deemed advisable to pass the
matter over Oh account of the strong prob
ability of more important happenings in
connection with Hawaii. -
He said it was to be presumed that g.
ators read the afternoon report of the y
ISOLATED Press. He said it was undef5
stood by all the senators that treaty
of annexation had been negotiated.
Senator Frye. speaking in behalf of the
friends of the reciprocity treaty, said that
in view of these developments they were
satlShed to have the subject postponed
until further developments in connection
with the question of our future relations
to Hawaii. There was, therefore no op-
position when it was suggested that the
Hawaiian treaty be passed over.
