The Canadian Commission Resumes Its
Sessions.

The Canadian Commission Resumes Its
Sessions.
Washington. Nov. l5.-Sir wilfrid Lau-
rier. premier of Canada, and Sir James
Winter. premier of Newfoundland. ar
rived to-day to take their seats in the
Anglo-American joint session. T. Jeffer-
son Coolidge of Boston also came on. thus
completing the American membership.
The commission held a brief session at IL
O'Clock and then gave way to meetings
OF the British and American members
separately. These separate conferences
were for the purpose of going over the
grounds on which reciprocity can be dis
cussed. Attention is now centered almost
exclusively on this topic. No schedules
have been exchanged. but it has been
considered best to take each part separ-
ately and discuss the possibilities of tar
in concessions on IL. The expectation Is
that this work will proceed so that each
side will know by the end of the present
week just what articles the other side
desires to incorporate In a reciprocity ar
rangement, and what reduction of rates
is possible on these articles. IL is realized
by members of the commission that this
is the most important branch of work be-
fore them and one on which the success
or failure of the work on other branches
depends to a large extent.
Although the strictest secrecy is OBJ
served. the general expressions coming
from members of the commission con-
tinue to be hopeful that some kind of re-
ciprocity agreement viii oe- reached, al
though II is appreciated that the present
revenue needs of this government incident
to the war make IL difficult to find rates
which are open to concessions. From the
Canadian standpoint also. there is felt to
be less urgency for gaining access to the
American market than there was some
years ago. Thus far. IL is understood,
there has been no general basis for maxi
ing up the lists of articles which the par
ties will present for incorporation into
reciprocity agreement. manufactured as
well as natural products being considered
open to incorporation in the lists.

GOING TO MANITOBA.
A Prosecuted Russian Sect Will Settle
Down There soon.

Down There Soon.
New York. Nov. 15.-According to Ayl-
mer Maude. an Englishman. who Is in
this city i'm behalf OF the Donghobortsi. or
Spirit wrestlers." a prosecuted Russian
sect, they will be taken to the extreme
west of Manitoba. Maude has lived in
Moscow for more than 20 years. and
through Count Tolstoi became interested
in these peasants. Last August he found
that the Canadian government would give
free land-ls0 acres TO each family-be-
sides a bonus of 80 TO each person and
shelter through the winter for the 4.00o
persons that are expected to leave Russia
soon.
The remainder of the sect. he said.
would come over next spring. The Dong
hobortsi did not have enough money to
bring them TO Canada. but what was
missing was raised in England. chiefly
from Quakers and by the sale Of a story
written by Tolstoi years ago. but laid
aside as Of no importance. Mr.. Maude
said that the fund now being raised In
this country Is wanted to assist in pro-
curing agricultural implements and
horses and cows.
Mr.. Maude said that IL is not true that
the Russian government has given the
Donghobortsi two years to emigrate. The
permission to emigrate was given last
February and may be recalled at any
time. which Is the reason for the haste
TO get these people out of Russia
