CANADA SEEKS TERMS.
Her Statesmen May Make Proposals
20 Better Trade Relations.


New York. Nov. l1.--A London cable
gram to the Evening Post says; In
view OF the visit Of Sir Wilfrid Laurier
and Sir Louis Davies 10 Washington, IL
Is understood that Mr.. Chamberlain
forwarded to Lord Aberdeen last week
important recommendation on the
future TRADE relations between Canada
and the United States from the imperial
point OF view. Though Mr.. Chamber
lain has abandoned his zollyerein
schemes. he would view with keen dis
appointment and brave forebodings the
ultimate effect on the English attitude
towards the dominion OF Sir Wilfrid
Laurier's acceptance of any such trade
agreement with the states as Mr.. Blaine
once proposed. involving discrimination
against England.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier himself and Mr..
Fielding. Canada's minister Of finance,
who is now visiting London. have given
definite assurance that Canada never
would consent TO such discrimination.
They have not, however. disguised the
fact that IL the United States showed a
neighborly attitude towards Canada on
outstanding trade and other questions,
they would go long ways TO meet
Washington advances short OF discrimi-
nation. 1t Is believed that they might
even go as far as 20 place England and
the United States on a tariff equality.
This would seem TO involve the aban-
donment of the policy Of preferential
tariff for British goods which, though
not yet realized, created extraordinary
enthusiasm here. Canadian ministers
contend, however, that Canada can rem
der no greater service to the empire
than by assisting to restore Anglo
American accord.

LETTER FROM CUBAN LEAGUE.
Declares That oner Of spain OF Au-
tOnOmy IL a sham

tonomy Is a Shum.
New York, Nov. 9.-The president
OF the Cuban League OF the United
States OF America, Col. Ethan Allen, has
issued the following letter on the atti-
tude Of the league towards Spain's
latest offers Of autonomy for the island
Of Cuba:
Tho affairs OF Cuba have reached a
crisis. Spain tries by perhdious diplomacy
10 win where her sword has failed The
offer OF autonomy Is device 10 change the
patriotic sentiment OF America and TO
again betray Cuba by false promises. In
this way she triumphed - years ago, This
time she must fail. Autonomy Is another
term for imposition and fraud. The Cuban
league OF the United States has long since
exposed and condemned this hypocrisy.
Since then more interested forces have
supplemented this opinion. The statesmen
OF Cuba repudiate II, The commanders In
the field say independence or death"
The late American minister TO Spain pro-
claims it TO be an impracticable sham.

STRIKE ALMOST OVER.
Settlements Effected at Five Leading
Northern Illinois Mines.

Braidwood, H., Nov. 11.-With three
mines running, two more to resume OPP
erations this morning and still two
more that may make settlements with
in the next As hours, it seems that the
end OF the strike of the miners in the
northern Illinois district Is i'm sight
Apparently all that can now stop gem
eral resumption is the contingency
that the Braidwood and Spring Valley
men may be able to control the conven-
ton in Streator and pass a resolution
and call upon the men that have gone
back to come out again and stand for
the original Springfield scale. 1t is a
question however, IL such an order
would be obeyed.
Following the lead OF Braceville,
which is the largest mine, In point OF
number of men employed, in the Will
mington district, the men at Carbon
Hill have voted solidly to go 20 work
this morning. There has been sur
render on both sides, but the men will
receive the same rate-77Ia cents ton
over seyen-eighth inch screcns-the
same as the men at Bracevllc. and the
company has made other concessions.
As these were the mines In which IL
was intended TO place Cinnamon, that
question has been disposed OF for the
time being, and there Is feeling OF
relief all about here. There is no doubt
that there would have been a serious
conflict had Chinese put in an appear
ance, and that IL would have been ac-
companicd by the loss OF life.
