Secretary of Agriculture Conce rnetl
Over Laurfer,a Visit

Secretary of Agriculture Concerned
Over Iaurier's Visit.
Washington, Nov. IL. - The officials
of the agriculture department are
somewhat concerned over the visit of
Premier Laurier, of Canada, in view of
the concessions which it is considered
probable he will ask under the reci-
procity provisions of the tariff law.
They are apprehensive that the premier
will direct his attention particularly to
securing reduction of the tariff rates
on Canada's agricultural products
shipped to this country, and are in
clined to antagonize any concessions
upon these lines. 1t is expected that a
concession will be asked especially on
barley, but the department officials
hold that this country is capable of pro-
ducing its own barley, and believetha t
the farmers do not want a reduced tar
if on this article to practically the ONLY
country whose competition gives them
any concern. The opinion expressed al
the department is that it will be well
for the United States to confine its reel
procity relations with Canada largely
to fish and coal, on which of the Cana
dian products, it is believed, there
might be reduction without especial
injury to American interests.

Cause Friction.

Between the Two C0untries-Wil-
son IL Anxious.

washington, Nov. ~. - Secretary
Sherman and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. the
premier of Canada, Thursday afternoon
began the first of a formal series of
conferences for the purpose of bringing
about an agreement by which as many
as possible Of the questions now caus-.
ing friction between the United States
and the Dominion Of Canada may be
amicably adjusted by treaty or other
wise. These conferences will be in
dependent Of the Behring sea seal fish
cries conference, which was the imme-
diate occasion for the Canadian pre-
mier's present visit to Washington.
Among the causes of friction between
the, two countries is the question of
the rights of citizens of either to pur-
sue business callings in the territory
OF the other, and the tariff question.
The conference Thursday afternoon
was brought about by note which
Secretary Sherman sent to Sir Will
trid Laurier asking him if it would DO
convenient to the latter to meet the
secretary in the afternoon, the Cana
dian premier responding in the affirma-
tive. The conference accordingly be-
gan at 1870 p. m. in the state depart
ment.
In Accord Oh Many Points.
Secretary Sherman and Sir Wilfrid
were together for two hours. It can be
stated on authority that the discussion
was devoted to the consideration of the
many important questions affecting
the citations between the United
States and Canada. In such a discus
sion the secretary of state and the
Canadian premier found themselves in
much accord. Secretary Sherman has
long favored the most cordial relations
between the United States and Canada.
having been while in the senate author
OF several resolutions in that direction.
Sir Wilfrid has been the conspicuous
exponent of the same view in Canada.
1t was realized on both hands, however.
that the discussion now opened was not
one which could bring immediate re-
suits, as many of the border contro-
versics are of long standing and many
practical difficulties were in the vav
OF settlement. The purpose, however,
was to approach the general subject in
spirit of friendliness. and allow this
to develop ways and means for dealin 2
with the numerous questions relating
to both countries, namely, border i'm
migration, reciprocity, fishery rights,
the railway bonding privileges; etc.
