ON LAURIER'S VISIT.
Comment In Washington as
to What 1t Means.
CAyADA'S PREMIER AND RECIPROCITY
The Loader OF tho Ministry Across the
Border Is the Head OF Party Fa-
vorabIe to Friendly Relations
with tho United States.

WASHINGTON, Nov. GA new phase
Of the Bering sea negotiations developed
when the state department learned that
Sir Wllfrid Laurier premier Of Canada,
and Sir Louis Davies, minister of ma
rine and fisheries in the Laurier cabinet,
would come here early next week to
take part in the negotiations. Later
dispatch from ottawa reserved apart
ments for Sir Wilfrid and Sir Louis and
party at the Shoreham, beginning next
Tuesday evening.
The British embassy was not advised,
however and IL was understood that
the British foreign office was equally
unaware OF the fact that the chief Of
clals Of Canada would come to Wash
ington to treat In person on the sub
ject. Up to this time the British au-
thorities had strenuously insisted that
the Bering sea meeting was to be con-
fined strictly to an exchange of tech
nical information between experts,
and they have resisted any larger con-
sideration Of the subject which would
involve general principles. Lord Sails
bury's letter TO Secretary sherman
carefully limited the meeting to one OF
experts" and in execution OF this Pro-
fessor Thompson was named as the
British expert and Professor Macoun
as the expert OF Canada.
Notwithstanding this strict limitation
adopted at London, the two chiefs OF
Canada will come to Washington pre-
pared to discuss the subject from a
much broader standpoint than any thus
far conceded in London. How far they
win be able TO treat concerning Bering
sea, reciprocity or other subjects Is
question of interesting conjecture. The
state department is much gratified al
their coming. as II Is felt to offer the
first prospect of considering the sealing
question on broader lines than hereto
fore.
Sir Wilfrid I.aurier Is regarded as the
head of the element in Canada tavora-
BILE to the most cordial relations with
the United States. The Liberal party
of which he is the leader, came into
power on the issue of closer commercial
relations with the United States. The
| Conservative party resisted this as
tending toward the annexation of can
ada to the United States and as disloya
to the mother country. Sir Wilfrid mas
not been an annexationist, but has fa'
vored the most liberal trade arrange
mants with the United States Hereto
fore his efforts and those Of his party
associates toward securing a reciproci
ty treaty with the United States have
been unavailing. but within the las
few days the state department has In
tlmated that II would view with favol
negotiations for reciprocity betwceI
Canada and the United States. Th'
coming OF Sir Wnfrid at this time is
therefore, of more than usual interest
not only in its bearing on Bering se'
negotiations. but also in connection
with Canadian reciprocity.

A rnnrle In NInrrlnnd.

PRINCESS ANNE. Md, Nov. c.
There Is serious legal controversy
among the supervisors OF election OF
Somerset county over the vote cast on
Tuesday j. S. Stanford. the Democratic
member. having refused to sign the GER
tifcate OF election because Of certain
irregularities In the tally sheets and
ballots, saying the judges OF election In
several instances failed to sign the for
mer and that at least 500 Of the latter
were counted In spite Of the fact that
they were not indorsed with the initials
of one Of the judges, as required by
law.
The Republican supervisors, upon ad-
vice OF counsel, decided TO disregard
these apparent irregularities. whereupon
Mr. Stanford, who had been elected Sec
retary OF the board. withdrew. The
other two then reorganized the board
and issued subpenas TO the judges
and clerks of the various precincts
to appear before them on Monday
10 make the necessary corrections
IN the tally sheets. Mr.. Stanford
thereupon entered a protest, claiming
that the whole course Of the board Is
illegal. and the question Is likely to he
taken into the courts, where an attempt
may be made TO throw out the unmark-
ed ballots and reverse the result of the
late election. in which event the four
assemblymen and one senator from
Somerset may go into the Democratic
instead Of the Republican column.

MRS. GAMMON'S WISH
She Writes a Letter of the
Spartan Mother Type.
UPHOLDS THE CAME OF FOOTBALL.
Although Her Son Died From Inj aries
Received In the Pastime, She Asks
the Georgia Legislature Not
to Prohibit the Sport.

ATLANTA, Nov. 6.-There are in
stances in history where mothers, filled
with Spartan fortitude, have given sons
to die on the field of battle. but il
has remained for Mrs. Cannon Of this
city. after her son, Won, had been killed
in football game, to plead with the
public authorities not to charge her
sons death to the game and not to use
it as an argument against the sport
Young Cannon lost his life as re-
suit Of injuries received in the Georgia
Virginia game played at Atlanta just
week ago. He was one of the leading
members Of the University of Georgia
team and in his desire to see his school
triumph over the players from Virginia
showed courage which. exerted for a
less futile end, would have won him
fame and the character of a hero.
No sooner was his death kRswn than
from all sides in Georgia came an as
sault on the game Of football. The COM
mon council of this city despite the
protests Of the mayor, who formerly
played the game. passed an ordinance
forbidding the sport within the limits
of the city
The legislature took the matter up
and decided to put an end to the play
ing of the game anywhere in the state.
Senator j. r. Allen introduced a bill
making It a misdemeanor to engage in
or assist at a game, and members of
the lower house proposed resolutions to
the same effect.
Then Mrs. Cannon came to the res
cue. She heard of the action of the
legislature and sent the following let
80 nxfff mi emil q
OF the lower house:
1T would be the greatest favor to
the family of Won Cannon If your in
huence could prevent his death from
being used as an argument detrimental
to the athletic cause and its advance
ment at the university.
His love for his college and his in
terest in all manner of sports, without
which he deemed the highest type OF
manhood impossible. are we'll known by
his classmates and friends, and II
would be ineXpressibly sad to have the
cause he held so dear injured by this
sacrifice.
Grant me the right to request that
my boys death should not be used t.
defeat the most cherished object Of his
life.
DIR. Hertys article in The Constitu
ton Of Nov. ? IS timely, and the au
thorities of the university are trusted
to make all needed changes pertaining
! to the welfare Of it's students, and wheI
they are given the means and the con
hdence their loyalty and high sense o
duty should deserve it,"
This letter has caused a reaction
among many Of the persons who wer'
united In their denunoiation of it
brutality" Now they are changini
their views, and many Of them hav
declared that Mrs. GammOns visl
should be respected.

A Rachcsrer Mraterx.

ROCHESTER,, Nov. 6.-There is con-
siderable excitement over the mysteri-
Gus death of Mrs. Eva Kunder, which
occurred at her home, S46 Jay street, Oh
Wednesday evening. An autopsy shows
ed death was due to poisoning, caused
by some irritant poison which is
thought by some of the family to have
been placed in the coffee. All the men,
bers Of the Kunder family are still suf-
fering from the effects of the poison
which caused the death of their mother
1t is the opinion of many that the death
of Mrs. Kunder was murder commit
ted by some one who had a grddge ell
ther against the dead woman or some
member Of the family. The district at.
torney is making a thorough investiga-
tion Of the case, but so far nothing has
been learned which would throw any
light on the tragedy.

IMpERwous ARMoR.
Successful Test Of New Invention by
w. l.. Foote.

NEW YORK, Nov. GA public ex-
hibition was given in the Twenty-third
regiment armory In Brooklyn by w.
Lennard Foote. inventor OF the bullet
proof auto-dynamic armor" and was
witnessed by several foreign officials
and others interested In armor. A
winchester ard a krag-Jorgensen rifle
and block Of the armor about 2h
inches thick were used in the test.
number of bullets were fired at
Il. but in no case did any Of them
go through or leave a mark Of en-
trance. Mr.. Foote previous to the ex-
hibition stated that a similar material
had been used three years ago, but
since that time it had been improved.
1t Is now perfect, according to the in
ventor, who says that It is equal in
resistance TO three quarter inch gun
sneld of hard steel and does not re-
quire the same amount OF care 10 keep
It from rusting or scaling as steel does.
It is lighter than steel, Weighing less
than half as much.
Previous to the test Of Mr.. Foote'S
material krag-j -jorgensen rifle was
used on a quarter inch steel plate.
The bullet went through II, as 1t
feet thick In the case Of the in
ventor's material the bullet from the
krag- -jorgensen rifle penetrated, but
after 1t did so the hole closed entirely,
leaving an unbroken surface the bullet
remaining in the shield. The winches-
ter bullet failed TO penetrate. Mr.. Foote,
after the test had been pronounced a
success, stated that his invention is
about so per cent lighter in the ratio of
resistance than steel for snips' armor
shields. When penetrated by bullets
the puncture instantly closes, thus
keeping out the water. The material
being nonmagnetic. according 10 the in
ventor, Il Is especially valuable for use
on the bridges of naval vessels fol
shields.
