SECRET SESSIONS
Of the Arbitration Commits
sion Held at Quebec.
No Truth in Alleged Demands to Be
Made by America.
May Be Some Hitches But No Serious OBJ
stactes Expected.

Quebec. Aug. 25.-The arbitration
commissioners assembled for their first
business meeting at the Parliament
buildings, this morning. The meeting
was absolutely private.
Although little is said by the COM
missioners. themselves there is con-
siderable discussion in the Canadian
newspapers and among those indi-
rectly connected with the conference
concerning two points upon which the
commission may fail to agree.
Statements and interviews have been
printed in the Canadian papers to the
effect that the American commissions
ers will insist that the present prefer
entail tariff of % per cent. in England
must be done away with before any
concessions on the part of the United
States will be made.
Congressman Dingley has been
quoted in the papers as making such
statement but he denies having made
such an assertion or any other state
ment of like nature.
1t is said that Sir Wilfrid Laurier's
position may become an obstacle in the
way of the commissions success.
The assertion is made that President
Wilfrid steadfastly declines to consider
the arbitration or adjustment Of any
matter under discussion unless the Amer
leans will agree to final settlement of
all the questions.
Neither Sir Wilfrid Laurier nor the
commissioners will discuss any of these
points beyond the denial of the Dingley
interview.
The conference adjourned. this after
noon. until next Monday morning. After
that they will meet probably each day
until Sept. 2. when an adjournment will
be taken until Sept. 90.
The commissioners decline to give out
anything concerning the details of today's
work. but intimate that a number of sub
jects was discussed. The full scope Of
the work was not canvassed nor was it
determined just how much the commits
sion will be able to accomplish in the
way of Il general adjus tment of the ques
tons under consideration.
1t is understood, however. that before
the conference adjourns, next week, the
commissioners will be aule to judge very
accurately what the final outcome of their
delIDera tons will be.
Nothing is said as to whether the COM
mission will meet here after the recess
or at Washington or some other place.
An effort is being made to have the mdet-
ings continued at Ottawa. but this mat
ter will probably not be decided until the
meeting, Sept. z
The joint meetings are held behind
closed doors in the Parliament buildings
and no one but the commissioners and the
secretaries are permitted to be presentl
No delegations have appeared during the
past two days for hearings In fact. the
commissioners do not expect to be called
upon to grant many more hearings They
will work out the details of each question
and then in joint session exchange views
and determine what settlement. if any.
can be arrived at between the two coun-
tries.

TEXAS CROP REPORT.

Galveston, Texas. Aug 25.-The Gal
weston News, today, prints the last Of
its 1898 series of crop reports covering
acreage, yield and condition of the cot
ton crop. The crop is in fine condition
with indications that Texas will make
the largest crop in the history of the
state. Taking the state as whole the
acreage was slightly decreased. An
estimate of 100000 bales for the state
seems conservative while with a late
fall -and propitious weather the crop
will make more. The crops is from
two to four weeks late.
