The arbitration conference adjourned

not canvasSed, nor was It determined
Just how much the commission will be
able to accomplish in the way of a
general adjustment Of the question

will be able to judge very accurately
what the final outcome of their deliber-
ations will be. Nothing is said as to
whether the commission Will meet here
after the recess or at Washington or at
some other place.
An effort is being made to have the

til the meeting on Sept. ,. In the mean
time. between this date and Monday,
each commission will work separately
upon various questions. The Joint meet
ings are held behind closed doors in the
parliament buildings. and no one but
the commissioners and the secretaries

Quebec, Aug 26. - The arbitration
commissioners assembled for their first
| joint business meeting at the parlia-
! meIt buildings yesterday. The meeting
was absolutely private. Although little
is said by the commissioners them
selves there is considerable discussion
IN the Canadian newspapers and among
those indirectly connected with the con-
ference 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 commission
ers will insist that the present prefer
ential tariff of the DomiRiCn in favor
of England must be done away with
before any concessions on the part of
the United States will be made. Under
the present arrangements Canada ad-
nits products from England at % per
cent. less than the duty imposed upon
products from. the United StatesN and
other' countries.
Everything Goes Nothing.
Representative Dingley has been
quoted in the Montreal papers as max
ing such a statement. but he denies
having made such an assertion or any
other statement of like nature. 1t is
said also that Sir Wilfrid Laurier's DO
sitior may become an obstacle in the
way of the commissions success. The
assertion is made that Sir Wilfrid
steadfastly declines TO consider the ar
bitration or adjustment of any one mat
ter under discussion unless the Ameri-
cans will agree to a final settlement of
all the questions. 1t is said that he will
insist upon 4 complete cleaning of all
the differences, or nothing at all. But
all this is the talk of newspapers and |
outsilsrs. Neither Sir Wilfrid Laurier
nor the commissioners Will discuss any
of these points beyond the denial of the |
Dingley interview.
Question of Branding Cattle.
A dispatch from Ottawa says: "It is |

ing of cattle will Gome up at the Quebec |

cattle on both sides of the line use the

THE FROCK COAT.

What has been the evolution of the
coat in this Paradise? How has the
dress of men evolved from the "malo"
and piece of kappa to the black, heavy,
anti-tropical, sweat creating, and fune-
real frock coat?
A full length portrait of a gentle
man in the time of Kamehameha L
would represent one arrayed in the
same extremely simple fashion that ap-
pears in every authentic portrait of a
gentleman in the period of the garden
of Eden.
What then have been the causes
which have operated so powerfully,
during the last half century, to radical
" change the dress of the Hawaiian
forefathers to one that is, from the tro-
pical standpoint, most inappropriate?
1t will be said that Hawaii has been
in a transition period. 1t was a saga
cious remark of the noted Rev. DR..
LindIey the missionary to Africa, that
the first evidence of an African
heathen's conversion was his request
for a pair of trousers. No doubt there
is a mystic analogy between the crav-
ings of the soul and the body for cloth
ing, but there seems to be no explana-
ton for the final adoption of the close,
and stuffy frock coat
In this land of sunshine, of rich
coloring, of sparkling seas, why should
men on festive occasions drape them
selves in "habiIiments of woe?" 1t is

conversation that is painfully free

1t Will be said of course by the
students Of social evolution that the
missionaries are the cause of it, and if
the family compact can be broken up

vail 1t must be candidly admitted
that the missionaries did not encourage
the heather TO adopt fantastic garbs,
buano one can say that even the most
depraved missionary ever suggested
such a monstrosity in a tropical elm

cause of the well known melancholy
character of the conversation at these
public functions, which not even the
exhiIarating effect of ice cream and
cake can remove. 1t is a dress that
should never be worn below the zones
where the snow falls. Even the young
man who informed the sexton at his
wife's funeral that if he was forced to
ride to the grave, in the same carriage
with his mother in law, it would de-
prive him of all pleasure connected
with that melancholy event-even this
young man would find no pleasure at
a garden party with his brain throb-
bing and his body roasting in a coat
that should have no place in the

The Lincoln.

For the past two weeks talks have
been given in the various rooms re-
garding the life of Lafayette. particu-
/ larly that period in which his aid was
so generally extended to struggling
America. Pupils were asked to search
history for information relative to his
career. and to write brief essays eX-
pressive of his gallantry, and his noble
services in Americas behalf. The lat
ter part of the afternoon yesterday was
given to a rendition of the programmes
in the various rooms In the lower
rooms the teachers spoke apDreciat-
ibgly of his services, and had language
exercises in the form of reproduction
stories. In the upper rooms recitations
and readings were given, which were
interspersed with patriotic songs.
In the eighth grade the exercises were
more formal. quite a number of pupils
participating. In the programme pre-
pared, sketches of his early life and
manhood, his oroffered services TO
America, his relations with. Washing
ton, the reading of a letter from the
American general to Lafayette, formed
distinctive features
The final number of the exercises. a
recitation entitled "A Eulogy Upon
Lafayette" was rendered by Miss
Katie Butler, who recited at the recent
Eisteddfod. Miss Butler rendered her
selection in an excellent manner, and
received rapturOus encore. She after
ward spoke before the pupils of rooms
and Z, who were delighted to hear
her.
The rooms were all neatly decorated
for the occasion, and the national en-
blem fioated over the building.

The Hamilton.

Exercises of a patriotic and memorial
character were held in the various
rooms of the Hamilton school building.
The rooms were Drettily decorated,
flags and flowers being used with a
lavish hand. The exercises, while cen
tering around Lafayette, broadened
sufficiently TO institute comparisons be-
tween the struggle of the colonists and
that of the Cubans, and between the
action of the French hero and that of
hundreds Of our own brave boys who
left all that the world, when faced with
health, strength and money without
limit, can offer, for a march in the
ranks. Who gave up all that is most
desired in youth to serve their country
in any, even the most mental, caDac-
ity.
Some lessons in genuine patriotism
were undoubtedly imbibed, and when
their day of trial comes the strength
and nobility Of character which will
win for them the victory will have
been largely built up by such exercises
as those of Lafayette day.
