CHNADA'S LAMENT
Her Commissioners Not MafCh fer
 Our Diplomats.

Washington, Dec. 25.-Among Can adians who have been following the progress of negotiations looking to the
 securing of an AnglO-Ame1ican treaty
 there is a marked inclination to view
 with disfavor the offer submitted by
 the American commissioners. They as S6rt that the acceptance of this offer
 would be an acknowledgment of defeat
 on the part of the Dominion represen-
 tatives, and that a treaty following the
 lines laid down by. the American com
 missioners would contain none Of the
 main concessions desired by the Do
 miniOn government. The feeling among the Canadians is thus expressed
 by q Dominion member of parliament
 who has been following the negotia- tiOns here:
 From all that has leaked out of the doings of the AngIo-American commits sion, it is apparent that the Canadians have been worsted from start to finish Canada, aside from what she might do to carry out the imperial policy of es- taibhshing closer relations with the United States, had nothing to gain ex- cept in reciprocity. The American commissioners were cunning enough to have a tentative settlement made of all other questions before taking up the subject Of reciprocity, and now when practically all the questions, the settle ment of which means considerable gain to the United States, are in shape for the Canadians are told that they will be unable to secure a single one of the concessions which they de- handed as the basis of treaty.
 There are three glaring instances of the settlement of questions which mean much to the United States and nothing at all to Canada Canada has long con tended that her right to engage in the seal fisheries in BehIing sea was not open to question. Her experts for years have been at work, and all their testi- mony went to show that the Dominion has good ground for it's contention. Yet, in the face of all this, an agree ment has been reached whereby, in consideration of a paltry half-million dollars indemnity to the sealers, Can ada foregCes her rights to engage in the seal fisheries in Behring sea In other words, Canada accepts $ov0,000 for the absolute surrender of what she has always declared to be her rights.
 ''The only advantage which comes to the Canadian people from this settle ment is a section covering merely the claims which the British Columbia sealerS have put forth.

SPANISH CRUELTY TO PEASANTS
A Correspondents Story of the Condi- tiOn of Peasants in Cuba-Eiorrible Scenes Are Witnessed by Him
 in the Outlying Districts.

Providence, R. l., Dec. 25.-The Jour- nal's Havana correspondent sends the following letter, dated December 13, which ought to be instructive to those Americans who say the war with Spain was unnecessary: The affair of Mon day night shows a list Of IS men shot by these Spanish butchers. Today they fired into the coffin of enc Of their vic tins as it was carried along the street and incidentally wounded number in the procession following Tonight all the women and children have been sent away from the Hotel Inglaterra. and it IS ga1risoned like a small fort This is the way we Americans have to live in Havana after the treaty Of peace has been signed. The accursed Spanish rattlesnake is trying to dig it's fangs into a few more innocents. It is en- couraging to learn, however. that three additional American ships of war have been ordered to proceed down here in all haste. The Cubans are liable to begin to make reprisals if any more murders are committed by their enc mics
 I have been 42 miles out into the country today to see the town of Guines, where large number of help less peasants were said to be starving. I found some 500 who are too far gone to be rescued and about 5000 more who must be aided within three weeks, or they will be nearly as bad. The Span lards evacuated the town last Sunday and this is the condition they left be- hind them. Since the first Of January 1897, there have been 9,544 deaths out C% population of 15,000. This is a plain statement of facts which it would be well for those to consider who are still sneecing at the recent war. We were shown a pit where 324 ghastIy skulls were to be seen. They belonged in life to men who were susCected of sympathy to the Cuban cause, and were dragged out of their houses fby night to have their heads split open with ma chetes. These figures can be verified by any one who cares to investigate the matter
 MT. Gould, the American official in charge of the government relief sup plies, has promised to send some stores to Guines immediately, and it is to be sincerely hoped that he will be able to do so. Jerked beef, rice and lard are the most pressingly needed. The Gu ban Industrial Relief Association could start a farm at this point to the great est advantage. Four hundred pair of oxen and 150 blows are the only agri- cultural implements needed, and with them three crops could be raised in 1899- The oxen must be obtained from Honduras or other nearby tropical countries, as Texas cattle have to be acclimated and trained to wor4- accord

FIFTY CENTS PER HOUR
Bill increasing inc Wages of Printers
 and BookbinderS.

Washington, Dec. 25.-Senator Cor man before the recess introduced a bill providing that all printers and book binders employed in the government printing office be paid at the rate of 50 cents per hour for time actually en- plCyed The printers and bookbinders in this office are now paid 40 cents an hour, the purpose of te bll being to re- store their compensation to the rate allowed prior to about twenty years ago. when their wages were reduced to 40 cents an hour, as were the wages of pressmen. The pressmen have succeed ed in securing restoration of their old rate of wages. For many years bill has been introduced in congress show ing the same favor to the printers and bookbinders as has been accorded the pressmen, and committees of local unions have strongly urged such legis- lation. It is understood that g vigor- ous effort will be made to secure the passage of the German bill at this ses- sion of congress.

TO PAY CUBANS, TOO
GarCia'S Followers and AuuinaIdo'S $
 10 be Treated Alike.

Washington, Dec. 9 (SpeciaD Sen ator PIocto.is public announcement in the senate that part of the $3,000, ,000 appropriated in the urgent deficiency bill vas to be distributed to the Cuban troops to aid them in starting in civil life again is 8 final confirmation of the dispatch published in The Republican recently. The policy adopted for Cuba is to be followed in the Philippines, and one-half of the S3,000, 900 appropri- ated is to be devoted probably to the insurgents in each instance. There is little criticism of that plan, for it is recognized as a practical solution Of what promised to be 3 serious problem
 The payment Of money in the form of wages for services rendered is, it is argued, to be a substantial recognition of the assistance given to the American troops by the followers Of Aguinaldo and Garcia, and at the same time it is to remove any excuse which the insur- gents might have for remaining under arms and res0rting to brigandage or open insu-rection. Moreover, it will deter agitators who might wish to use the discOntented for 9 furtherance of selfish ends.
 The money appropriated is to go di- rectly to the individual insurgents, who will thus be in 3 position to start again to work on their farms, while those who prefer a military life may be en- listed for garrison duty.

Liberals Do Not Favor His Political
 Advancement.

London, Dec 25.-The Madrid corre- spondent of the Standard says Senor Sagastas illness has brought to a standstill the political crisis and nego- tiations for the reorganization of the liberal party. Many liberals are op- posed to Gen. Weyler becoming minis ter of war because they fear he will aspire to succeed Sagasta as leader of the party Fl Liberal publishes an in terview with Weyler, in the course of which he is represented as declining to give any information regarding the crisis, but as insisting upon the neces- sity for a strong government. Such a government could not, he said, be drawn from a party led by Senor Sil- vela. Gen. Weyler hinted that the country would run great risks unless power were placed in the hands of a coalition.

WORDS OF PRESIDENT M'KINLEY
EngIishmen PriCked Up Their Ears When They Read the Presidents Reference to the Control of the Big Ditch
 by the United States.

naked as without a chip aggressively poised on their shoulder Our Doiicy mere imperatiyely than ever, wrote MT. Mckinley, calls for the control of the canal by this government From the English point of view. the word control was at least unfoItunate-the more from the vague impression here that official and public opinion in America is inclined to regard the Clay ton-Bulwer treaty as a dead letter. The suspicious at once interpreted .scon- trOl'' as exclusive control and protested accordingly, with hints at the ingrati- tude Of the American government and the American people after England had given them moral support against the continental powers in the negotiations before and after the war with Spain. The more ciTcumspect hid their mis- swings under Q cautious reserve and fell back upon another statement of the presidents, which the alarmists of course ignored, that considerations of expediency and international policy required for the present the mainte- nance of the status quo as to the canal
 As soon as the English newspapers began to comment on the .(esident words in this vein telegra&s that bear signs Of inspiration came from Wash
 
 not intend to suggest exclusive control of the canal-the word was only an ill., chosen spur to urge congress to it's task or to ignore the Clayton-Bulwer treaty or it's provision for the neutral izatl0n of an isthmfan canaL In due course the administration would seek such notifications of it as might be necessary for the building of the water way under the financial guarantee of the United States. This assurance has all but the professional alarm ists, and discussion of the canal and the control Of it has lapsed into its for, mer Ianguor. In spite of irresponsible conjectures telegraphed from Washing ton and from New York, the belief in well-infOrmed quarters here is still that negotiations over the Clayton-Bul- wer treaty have scarcely begun, and that speculation upon them and cog nate matters is premature and fuL.-e.

1 London, Dee. 25.-The chief cause of the sudden quickening of English cpin- ion for three or four days past over the i projected Nicaragua canal, which. ac- cording to telegramS from New York. has surprised Americans. lies in the carelassness or the clumsiness of the president in the choice of words. Fresh discussion of the subject had barely be- gun on this side of the sea, and gone no further than to note that the canal was more likely to be undertaken in earnest than it had been heretofore, and that, under the CIayton-B -Bulwer treaty the English government was en- titled to a voice in the mattef. There was no disposition, official or unofficial, to press this title unfairly or obstinate ly and 50 raise obstacles to the building Of the canal with the aid of the Amer ican treasury. It was to serve simply as the warrant and starting point for the negotiation Of a new agreement which should replace the Clayton-Bu1wer treaty, in accord with the new .politi- cal and commercial conditions that had made that compact inapplicaDle. and of course duly protect British interests in the projected waterway. There was no reason to doubt the friendly temper with which Lord Salisbury's govern
 
 when the time was ripe for them. but there seemed in English eyes no pres ent cause for haste, while at the least the initiative rested with the United States. The public mind as whole showed little interest in the matter. The newspapers and the reviews had just begun to mention it fitfully and tentatively. Now and then it appeared in the talk CT men versed in interna- tiOnal affairs.
 The presidents message and the us ual scraps of American comment upon it have not made discussion of the canal and its possibilities animated, positive or widespread Public opinion in any broad sense seems as indifferent to the whole matter and as ignorant of it as it has long been. One phase, how ever, of the presidents has pricked the Underwriters, the experts and some of those Britons that would as soon go
