CANADIAN PROPOSAL.
WANT SETTLEMENT OF
ALL DISPUTES,
To Arrange a General settlement Not

WASHINGTON, Nov. ii-The Cana.
dams determined to-day TO meet the
United States proposition for the inn
mediate suspension Of pclagic sealings
With a counter proposition for the
establishments of "a commission t ar
range q general settlement not only OF
the Boring sea question, but of recip-
rocity, border Immigration, North AT.
lantic fisheries and all pending cues.
Canada. 1t was stated authoritatively
that this proposition would be sub.
mitted when the diplomatic phases OF
the subject should be taken up.
Whether il will tend toward an ad
iustmcnt Is doubtful
The contention OF the American rep.
rcsentatives is that the Bcring sea
question is the first thing to be dis.
posed of aud that the suspension Of
pelagic sealing cannot be put off until
action shall be matured on reciprocity,
immigration and the other subjects.
The Canadians are equally insistent
that they will not surrender upon the

time curing action on all the other
subjects, which to them, are OF quite
as much Importance as the Boring
sea question.
1t d~evevoped today that Secretary
Sherman had written q letter to Sir
Wilfrid Laurier which may have an
important bearing upon the Canadian
negotiations The letter is not made
public, and all persons cognizant of it
are'very reticent concerning IL. 1t il
said this letter resulted from the
divided responsibility Of officials here.
General Foster having charge of tho
Boring sea. Secretary Gage Of immi-
grafton. Mr.. Kasson Of reciprocity.
etc. While each OF these officials
was DESTROYS Of making friendly ar.
engagements with the Canadians, there
was no me person who could consider
the subjects homogeneously, granting
q concession OF one subject for an
equal concession Of another subject.
II is understood that Mr.. Sherman
suggested means for n broader discus.
sion OF relations between tho two
countries.
Tho Boring sea meeting began at IL
o'clock under the usual circumstances
