CANADA'S MINISTER'S
Sanguine of fSeouring Closer Trade
Relations.
ANNEXATION NOT A POSSIBILITY.
Minister Davies Declares That Canadians
Have One Of the Finest Constitutions in
the World, and Have No Wish to Change
Their Political Relations.

Washington, Feb. 6.-Sir Richard
Cartwright, minister of trade and com.
merce, and Mr.. L. H. Davies, ministe,
Of marine and fisheries of the Cana
dian government, called on Sir Julian
Pauncefote at the British embassy
yesterday. and later made an unof-
fetal visit to the state department
where they had brief interview with
Secretary Olney. AS stated by the
ministers today, their mission here Is
to secure if possible closer trade rela-
tions with the United States.
The agricultural schedule, as out
lined in yesterdays papers, was some-
thing of a surprise and disappoint-
ment to the Canadians. They had not
expected the schedule to be so far ad-
vanced by the ways and means COM
mittee, and were not pleased to see
the duties on the several items in
creased to the extent indicated. One
of the ministers said that 1t seemed
to him that the two countries could
and should agree upon some plan
which would be mutually helpful
"Of course" said Mr.. Davies, I'VE
would not ask or expect the United
States to grant us any trade conces-
sion without certainty that. the re-
suit would be equally advantageous
to her We should expect to give dol
lar for' dollar. for every benefit re-
ceived. We are here to see the public
men OF your country face to face and
talk with them. Nothing will ever be
accomplished by the legislative bodies

get together and have an understand
ing have no shadow of doubt that
we viii be able to do something if we
get to talk with the leading legis-
lators of this country.
The people of the two countries de-
sire to trade together, and this state
of affairs would have been brought
about long ago If some OF the news
papers Of the United States had not
created somewhat of an estrangement
These newspapers have generated
false impressions on various subjects.
One of these is that of annexation.
This is impossible. We are perfectly
satisfied with our condition and with
our political affairs, but at the same
time we want the broadest kind of
trade relations That is business
matter in which both countries are in
terested.
1T is queer that some Of the United
States newspapers should persist in
the foolish idea that there is anything
substantial in the talk of annexation.
We have one Of the freest constitu-
tions in the world. The peoples views
are expressed and reflected as fairly
and as freely as in any nation in the
world Great Britain never interferes
with us. She Is the kindest mother in
the world"

A Point for France and Russia.

London, Feb. CA dispatch to The
Chronicle from Rome asserts that it
is probable that Cardinal Ledochowski
will be replaced by Cardinal Satolli as
project Of the propaganda. 1t is said
that the pope was annoyed because
the former had persstently sustained
the German influence at the Vatican,
showing himself very hostile to the
influence of the French. 1t Is also
claimed that if Cardinal Ledochowsl
is succeeded by Cardinal Satolli that
1t will be an important victory for
France and Russia

Dec. 20, when she received bad fall

West Sutton, Mass. She was born
Aug rs, 1912, and was christened Eu-
nice White. 1t was when she was at
school at Hadley, Mass, and Henry
Ward Beecher was student at Am
herst that they met and plighted their
troth. Jan. 2, 1881. Both were very
young, and when the boyish student
made Known his desire to marry DR..
Billiards. daughter that worthy was
angry and his wife was grieved. "Why,
you are a couple Of babies" said the
doctor. You don't know your own
minds yet and you won't for some
years to come"
DR.. Bullard relented, however, after
time, but 1t was not until Aug. 3, 1887,
shortly after Mr.. Beecher had begun
his first pastorate at Lawrenceburg,
Ind, that they were welded. Their
first years of married life were not
years of financial plenty, for the salary
then received by Mr.. Beecher was but

She had met with serious accident
that resulted in partial paralysis of one
side and from which she never recov-

but she could write, and it occurred

continued to assist him by attending
to his correspondence till the day of
his death.
During the dark days of the Tilton
scandal her faith in Beecher never fall

deal for the press. Having done consid-
cradle literary work dufiRg his life
time, she had acquired clear, direct,
unpretentious style that won readers
easily. Her most interesting work was
"Mr. Beecher as l Knew Him." which
ran as serial in a monthly magazine.
