SIR wILFR1D LAURIER.s VISIT.
Great Interest Taken in It by
the Canadians.

Toronto. Ont, Nov II. Great interest
is being taken throughout Canada In the
visit of Sir NTiifrid Laurier to Washing
ton Few are sanguine enough TO hope that
he viii obtain a reciprocity treaty be-
tween tie two countries, but everyone
looks for some settlement of other ques.
tions, that viii remove all sources of
irritation and prevent any growth OF III
feeling on either side. The Globe to-
day, commenting on international rela-
tions, SAYS,
The attitude uf Canadians toward their
Heighbors is not that of suppliants, but
of people Who are Jointly interested with
the Americans in the settlement OF con
trcyersies which interfere with the gen.
eral progress of CIVILIZATION"
Goidwin Smith says of the visit of Sir
Wilfrid Laurier:
II IL is true that lie goes TO washington
TO negotiate for reciprocity, we may infer
he will be ass ured OF friendly feeling in
that quarter. An unfriendly feeling
toward Canada there never has really been.
Nor was the Dingley tariff, though ad-
verse TO our interests, directed against US,
but If our ENJOYS would hope to succeed
at Washington they must be able to say
they present themselves there with free
hand.
They must first obtain from the mother
country, whose consent in all things is
supposed, the recognition of Canada as a
community commercially independent and
at liberty in fiscal negotiation to have
regard to her interests alone. When the
last ambassadors from Canada went to
Washington they had to say TO the
American Government: We come To ne
gotiate for a commercial treaty, but the
negotiations must always be subject to
the interest OF your chief commercial
rival
NO government would submit to that
under such conditions. The idea OF diff
ferential duties may now be said TO have
been laid aside. The alternative is con-
cession TO the colonies of commercial inde-
pendenee. If Canada has neither she is
handicapped in the commercial race"

Admiral Jouett Discourses of Cruis-

erS With High Power Guns.
Louisville, Nov. 1I.-Admiral James Z.
Jouett, who is in the city on a visit ~
relatives, said, in discussing the statement
that no warship can approach within a
dozen miles of New York, until it had
destroyed the barriers in the bay and SOUND.
You can only see ship eight miles
out at sea, and, therefore. uan-oT-w " ar
twelve miles from harbor and beyond the
vision OF the gunners in the forts could
leisurely throw Is shot and shell into New
York and be perfectly safe themselves.
Give a half dozen good vessels with their
high power guns accurate charts, and they
can so place their shells that New York
would be reduced in a surprisingly short
time.
ANY large squadron blockadins New
York City would be more powerful than
all her forts combined. 1t would be only
a question Of time before the forts would
have TO capitulate if the vessels should
concentrate their fire. Give US about
thirty fleet commerce destrOyers, all trim
frigates with good pairs OF legs Ike the
Columbia and Minneapolis, and we would
have the enemy begging for mercy in no
time.
War with Spain well, II would br fool
hardy In the Dons to press US too hard
Spain knows her navy is almost on a par
with aprs. and IS the fight would all be
on the sea, an about the vicinity Of Cuta,
she would undoubtedly give Us trouble for
a time; but only very short time. Spain
SAYS she would first proceed to destroy
our commetce.
THAT is ridiculous. Almost all OF the
exports Of this country are carried by
foreign ships, because the crews can be
employed I cheaper wages. This couAtry
would really be embarrassed right now ia
