THE QUEBEC CONFERENCE.


riOus Changes In Duties.
Quebec, Oct 4.-Hon. Daniel H. Nc
MILAN of Buffalo has arrived here and
had talk with Senator Fairbanks and
other members of the American COM
mission. Mr.. Mcmillan is here to urge
that duty on Canadian barley be low
cred or removed altogether. He says
the best grade of barley for malt can
not be grown anywhere in the United
States, and the best interests of the
United States masters and farmers as
well will be served by allowing the Ca
madam barley to come in free.
The Quinta Bay barley Of Canada is
so much superior to any of the United
States barley that by mixing 1t with
malt is produced, and a better price is
obtained for the American barley. The
duty on Canadian barley Is now 80 cents
per bushel which really amounts to
prohibitive duty.
Mr.. Mcmillan says the New York
state farmers and the farmers Of the
west will make no objection to having
the duty removed altogether. Speak
ing for his own city, Mr.. Mcmillan said
he thought Buffalo would be benefited
by more liberal trade relations with
Canada.
Being situated on the very border"
he said, 1--WE have trading field only
on one side so long as the high duties
prevent us from trading with the Ca
nadians. l think both Buffalo and To-
ronto would be greatly benefited by
commercial reciprocity"
w. ]. Elliott Of Toronto is here repre-
senting the Canadian bicycle manufac-
facturers. He wants the duty on Amer
can wheels increased from 80 per cent
to 40 per cent. The American duty on
Canadian wheels is now 40 per cent.
Mr. Elliott says most of the material
used in the construction Of the Cana
dian bicycles Is bought in the United
States, and this. he thinks, should con-
tinue to come in free. Even with 40
per cent duty. he says, very many
American wheels would be sold in Can

Prison For Lawyer Clark.

Hutchinson, Kan, Oct 4. - Judge
Simpson has sentenced Lawyer E. G.
Clark to five years hard labor in the
penitentiary for completely in the MUIR
der of w. c. Boyd over month ago.
Before receiving his sentence, which
was the highest that could be imposed
for the crime, Clark made a long speech
to the judge. 1t was a striking scene,
the gray haired defendant pleading for
leniency from the judge before whom
he had but recently been practcing. A
week ago a verdict of manslaughter in
the second degree had been rendered.
Mrs. A. L. Postlethwaite, charged with
being an accomplish in the murder, and
her son, who has confessed to the kill
ing, are yet to be tried.

"zIoas" S5;'al.aera of AndroacOaEin.
As the G,trs get shorter and the cold
creeps down more and more at lonesome
evening that class of Androscoggin
farmers known as boss swappers begin
to gather in tho sunny, mellow after
moons Oh the warm sides OF Haymarket
square, Lewiston, and exchange horses.
Tuesday just after dinner, for instance,
the most miscellaneous collection of old
ring boned, creased heel, spawned and
broken down nags ever seen in Lewiston
were collected in a kindergarten ring
about the boss horse snapper, and every
one was talking at once. What scoop
that would have been for the agent of
the society with tho elastic name! One
of the horses hadn't been fed and was
chewing q rag bit full Of pepper, as was
easy to SEQ by the CHASTITY manner in
which it initiated the jumping and frisk-
ing of young horse.
Ono of the horse swappers was call
ing attention to his steed in loud voice,
and all eyes were fixed upon it when it
suddenly lest it's balance and fell over
from exhaustion. All hands tried to set
the poor creature upon its feet, but it
had stood all it wanted to, and with a
sigh of relief it stretched out its neck
and gave up the ghost The owner gave
a job man 10 cent piece and the har-
ness and cart to take the body to the
city field and bury it.-Kennebec Jour

GOING TO PORTO RICO.
War Department Orders Three Regi-
ments There For Duty.
BROOKLYN BOYS FORM ONE.
Inttmated Some of the Troops Mt
Camp Meade May Go to Cuba.
Garrison Duty In Islands
to De short.

Washington, Oct. 4.-The war depart
ment has decided to SEND more troops
10 Porto Rico. Orders have been issued
directing that the Fifth regular caval-
ry, now at Huntsville, Ala; the Sixth
United States volunteer infantry, noe
at Chickamauga, and the Forty seventh
New York now at Fort Adams, snail
proceed to such a point in Porto Rico
as may he desired by the commanding
general in that island. The Eighth
United States volunteer infantry and
two companies of the Indiana colored
volunteers, now at Fort Thomas, KY,
will relieve the Sixth volunteer infantry
at Chickamauga.
All the troops at Camp Meade will
soon be ordered to points In the south.
Some Of them may go to Cuba, but the
majority will for the present occupy
the new camps recently selected in
Georgia and South Carolina. 1t Is
thought that troops sent to garrison
duty in Cuba will not remain long, but
when they have seen service for few
months will return to this country. The
same Is probably true as to Porto Rico.
1t Is also intimated that when the
troops return the volunteers will be
given 60 days furlough and be muster
ed out. BY that time congress will have
had an opportunity to determine what
shall be done in regard to garrisonng
the new possessions.
Pressure ny congressman.
This determination is no doubt due to
the pressure that has been brought by
members of congress for the mastering
out of the volunteers from their states
and districts. The responsibility for
furnishing troops for garrison duty and
for army duty gere ally will be upon
congress-. The recommendations of the
president and the war department will
have been made before the return of
the troops from either Cuba or Porto
Rico and the necessities Of the case
made known.
Although there has been less pressure
for mus tering out of volunteers since
the announcement was made that the
troops could not be spared. the demand
continues with sufficient persistence to
convince the war officials that reor-
ganization of the army will be necessa
ry and that some arrangement will
have to be made to secure force for
garrison service in the islands and the
states which will not be subject to the
same difficulties experienced in the case
Of the volunteers.
Although the pressure for the muster
out of entire regiments is not so great,
the demand for the discharge of indi
viduals has overwhelmed the depart
ment. There Is not a senator or repre-
sentative scarcely who has not pre-
scented requests of this kind, and there
Is a constant demand for the discharge
of one man or another upon some pre-
text which would not be deemed valid
in the case of men in the regular army.
Personal appeals are made by fathers.
mothers, wives, sisters and sweethearts.
Every man in the department supposed
to have any influence is sought to Sc
cure the discharge of enlisted men who
have tired Of the life of soldering.
