the American commissioners not TO enter
into any agreement with the Canadian gov
ernment whereby their own line of trade
would be disturbed.
Tie Boston chamber of commerce also
was given a hearing before the American
commissioners, but the argument Of the
Boston men along entirely different
lines They asked for modification OF the
trade relations with Canada, and that re-
lations as near TO absolute reciprocity as
possible be secured. The chamber of COM

The Gloucester fishermen were represent
ed by Sylvester Cunningham and Sylvanus
Smith Speaking for the New England
fishermen, Mr.. Cunningham said they de-
sired the laws governing their industry To
remain unchanged. He said they could not
afford to do away with the present duty on
Canadian fish for the privilege Of free entry
into the Newfoundland waters for bait
To establish free trade in the Atlantic
fisheries now. he said, would mean the
certain transferring of the American fish
ing industry to the Canadian borders"

same action on the part of the conference
The present duties imposed upon Canadian
lumber should remain. To remove the du-
ties would well-nigh destroy the industry
in the United States. and to lower them
would mean serious injury to the American
interests.
warner Miller, representing the puln
paper interests, made a similar argument
He asked that the tariff on pulp and paper
remain now fixed.
The American commissioners listened to
the arguments as presented, but gave ma
intimation as.to what action would be take
concerning any of the subjects by the Joint
commission.
II is said that in the joint session tina
Alaskan boundary has continued to be thu
subject OF discussion. Senator Fairbanks
was asked last night il he could Indicate
what the outcome of the conference prom
ised. He replied that so far the work had
been satisfactory and all that had been ex-
pected by either side
The attitude of the delegations who have
appeared here in opposition TO any steps in
the way of reciprocity causes some of the
Canadians to predict that the commission
ers Will be unable to accomplish all they
have undertaken to DO. They say that Can.

that the United States does not desire this
but merely wishes to adjust a few trouble,

The Washington Magnate Urged to
Let His Managers Manage.
The Washington correspondent of the
Sporting Life has The following to say in
this weeks papar:
Earl Wagner has been at Atlantic City
for the past week trying to wash away the
thoughts of his weaklirgs amid the briny
deep. That is where Earl ought to STAY
He is a rafting good fellow, and personally
has many friends, but when It comes down
to managing a ball team that is another
thing. The great trouble is that Earl gem
orally hires managers. and he has so many
suggestions of his own to make that the
manager is simply person IN clothing that
must do as Earl says The position as man
ager on the Washington team is far from a
pleasant position. Not that Earl is not
kind to the men or the manager but it is
these ideas that he wishes carried out that
are often on direct line in opposition to
the managers himself and his conception
of plays that make the managers life mis-
erable. Earl should hire manager to man
ege the team and he should bride himself
in for the once and sea what prospect the
teams chances take without any work on
his part whatsoever. Talking of managers
brings US to the fact that as yet there is no
manager picked out positively for next sea-
son. Various newspaper scribes have as
signed several men to the position but none
of them has as yet been officially ratified"

ard H. McGildowney. the committee of
the Royal Ulster Yacht Club, who will
confer with the New York Yacht Club in

Lord Dufferin, formerly governor general
of Canada.
The members of the committee declined
to talk about Sir Thomas Liptons chal-

Russell, his representative in the United
States. The visitors will confer tomorrow
with the committee of the New York Yacht
Club. There are but two important points
to be settled before the race is assured
One is the length of the competing yachts
ard the other the course. The Royal Ul-

have the course at Newport, instead of the
old course at Sandy Hook.

A fruit festival was given last night on
of the Southern Methodist Church. Nu-
merous tables ladened with fruit and taste
fully decorated with ferns and flowers
We're placed aboutEt lawn, which was
lighted by numerous Japanese lanterns
strung artistically about. The festival was
largely attended and proved to be a sue
cess in every way. < The ladies' who had
charge of the different tables were Mrs
George MarkWard, Cake table, Mrs. Huf-
fAker and Mrs. Steifax, fruit table; Ice
cream stand, Mrs Bernhard. Miss Bessie
Scaggs, Miss Florence Mcdonald and Mr.

Edward Hickey, a guard at the reform
school, narrowly escaped serious injury
last evening. While driving from Benning
to his home at this place, his horse became
frightened at an object in the road and ran
frantically around a turn, where another
wagon was approaching slowly. The horse
dashed into the wagon ahead of him, smash
ing the buggy to which he was hitched and
throwing Mr. Hickey out on his head. He
was badly bruised and shaken up, but es-
horse was stopped as it was passing
through Bladensburg.

the winners. The Reds have lots of admir-

The Clevelands are playing their usual
strong game against the best clubs. The

Washington last season, but ]. Earl could
not make the trade.

Tending Secretary Alger against charges
which, as your correspondent thinks, should
properly be made against the imperfect
machine sent to Cuba.
1t is an easy matter to distribute the
blame in case of hardships, improper sup
plies and unjust treatment to soldiers; but
it is often the case that the assignment is
unwise and unjust. 1t is then, as in num-
berless other instances, what the logicians
denominate non causa pro causa. In plain
English, it fails to give the true solution
of the matter.
One would almost infer from reading the
papers that Secretary Alger and his CO.
ordinates We're responsible for every tooth

ed to aff1ict soldiers in their campaign in
Cuba. 1t seems to have been forgotten that
war is cruel and heartless and destructive.

they awaited action upon the agricul-

Fremont county had Messrs. Torrey
