Washington, Dec. 9.-The meeting of
the Canadian joint high commission at

long session of the commissioners at
their own quarters. 1t is now stated
that owing to the unsettled condition of

favorable or unfavorable state of at

Republican City Committee Listens to
sanguine Reports From Ward Managers.
The regular monthly meeting of the
republican city committee was held at
headquarters last evening and was
largely attended. Reports were made
of the outlook in the various wards,
and the consensus of opinion among the
members seemed to be that Mayor
Dodge would run as well If not better
than year ago. In opening the meet
ing, Chairman TatInan said that it had
been prophesled in the papers that
Mayor Dodge would be elected by from
1000 to $500, but that such estimates
were wild. He cautioned the members
not to rely upon any chance reports,
but to go about their duty with the de-
termination of getting out every repub-
lican voter Several of the members
reported cases where men were going
to vote for three republican aldermen
and three democratic, while others were
going to vote for five republicans and
one democrat or five republicans and
Mr. Rheutan. Wards two, six, seven
and eight were reported as undoubtedly
strongly republican, both for the head
Of the ticket and also six republican al
dermen. William ]. Bragg reported
that ward five would undoubtedly re-
tur1s John Rivard, and that the head of
the ticket would receive a generous en-
dorsement. The meeting adjourned
with the aGmonition from the chair
man that every man use his effort to
get out large republican vote.
