THE QUEBEC CONFERENCE.
A banquet VIII BE Given by the
American Commissioners October q.

The Joint session Of the international con-
ference at Quebec was very brief yesterday
but the subcommittee were hard at work
all day Arrangements are now being made
for Il banquet to be given by the American
commissioners October d. 1t is likely the
conference will adjourn soon after that
date, to meet later in Washington.
Attorney General Joseph Martin OF Brit
ish Columbia arrived yesterday, and is urg-
ing the Canadian commissioners In a very
emphatic manner not 10 make too great
concessions TO the Americans in the settle
ulent of the various questions NJ. Martin
is the author of the famous Manitoba school
law. which few years ago was SO bitterly
opposed by the Catholic people OF the do
minion.
Mr.. Martin says the Canadians should not
surrender the British national right to the
seal fisheries in the Boring sea.
Concerning the question, 1t Is safe to say
that it Is not regarded by the American
commissioners being of the greatest i'm
portance. and probably no great concessions
or sacrifices on the part of the United
States will be made in adjusting it. The
lumber question is still in dispute

Unless there is a decided change in the

today's convention the leading sill
verites got together and canvassed
the situation. Some of them were
inclined to indorSe some of the democratic
state candidates. but the opinion of those
favoring a full Independent ticket finally
prevailed. Tomorrow's meeting will be at

PROHIBITION IN CANADA.
Marked Public Indifference to the
Fate of the Issue

Reports from all parts of the dominion
of Canada indicate that the vote for and
against prohibition has been not over one
half the registered vote. In the cities and
towns Of Ontario the saloons were closed all
yesterday, but all through the province OF
Quebec the bars have been doing a big
business.
The heaviest vote against prohibition will
be cast in the province of Quebec. The
French clergy have counseled their people
to vote against prohibition. on the ground
that prohibitory laws would only make
law breakers, and that smuggling and vio-
lation of the law would be eltly Increased.
Another argument advanced against prohi-
bitfon is that, with the liquor traffic de-
stroyed. there would be no way of raising
the S10,000,000 which annually comes 10
the dominion from the liquor trade.
Voting In Nova Scotia on the dominion
prohibition plebiscite was light, and showed
marked public indifference to the fate of
the ISSUE The total vote polled was not
% per cent of the registered vote The
n ajority was usually on the side Of prohi-
hition. The majority in Nova Scotia prov
ince for prohibition, with the returns not
quite complete, Is 81 ,526.

Suffer a Setback.

The movement set on foot largely by the
Citizens Union to put in nomination an in
dependent state ticket received two distinct
setbacks yesterday. One was the announce
ment that the political council of the City
Club had unanimously decided on Tuesday
evening not to enter state politics by in
dorsing the independent movement. The
second discoura cement came in the form
of letter addressed by Charles Stewart
Smith, William B. Hornblower, John B.
Pine, Edward A. Drake, George Tomble-
son. John G. Clark, James Loeb, Richard
Watson Glider and William NJ Kingsley to
the central city committee of the Citizens
Union deploring the participation of the
Citizens Union in state politics. and de-
c!aring such action inconsistent with the
principles upon which the organization was
formed. This letter. coming as it does from
men who were largely instrumental in
forming the Citizens Union and who were
so active in its work during the last mu-
nicipal campaign. is likely to have a far
reaching influence.
The subcommittee empowered by the Cit
liens Union nominating committee at it's
meeting at Albany last Monday to make
nominations to complete the independent
state ticket held a meeting yesterday after
noon at No. AZ East 23d street. Paul Fuller
presided. AT the close of the meeting it
was said that no nominations had been de-
cided upon and that the meeting had mere
ly discussed the details of campaign work
II was said that the petitions already Sc
cured would be abandoned owing to the
declination of Col. Roosevelt to accept the
nomination, and that new ones would be Sc
cured.
1t is known. however, that the name of
the man to be nominated for governor is
practically decided upon. Isaac H Klein
admitted that Thomas NJ. Osborne of Au-
burn had been mentioned for the place as
often as anybody, and 1t is believed that he
Will be nominated. On the original ticket
Mr. Osborne was slated for nomination for
lieutenant governor, and his promotion to
the first place makes it needful to choose
another candidate for second place. 1t is
believed that Theodore Bacon of Rochester
Will be named. Mr.. Bacon was to be nom
| mated as an Independent candidate for
| mayor Of Rochester.
The talk created by the proposition to
lend the emblem of the Citizens Union to
| the Independent ticket has caused the pro
pcsa1 to call the Independent organization
| by some different name. The citizens state
party is the name best liked, and If the in :
dependent ticket goes to the voters it will
probably be under that name. 1t was said
yesterday that the nominations to fill the
vacancies on the Independent ticket will
probably not be announced until October
Is, which is the last day allowed under the
law.
1t is significant that Col. George F. War
ing who is president Of the City Club and
a member Of it's political committee which
had decided that the club shall not indorse
the Independent movement, appeared on
the nomination petitions circulated by the
Citizens Union as a candidate for state en-
gineer and surveyor.

BISHOP TURNS TRAMP.
Rev. Leighton Colemnn's Unique An
nuaI Outing Has Ended.

huAA OutAhS uAS EnOeQs
Bishop Leighton Coleman of the Episco-
pal diocese of Delaware has just returned
from his annual outing. The custom Of the
bishop for years has been to make an an
nual tramp incognito, and many amusing
incidents are related by him.
On his last trip he travelled 235 miles
through the mountains of Maryland and
West Virginia He crossed the Blue Ridge
mountains several times. He was attired
in a long macintosh, SLOUGH hat and
heavy walking shoes, and carried a cane,
his appearance being so changed that his
best friends did not recognize him. When
lodging could not be secured at farm houses
he slept in barns, sheep sheds and school
houses.
Bishop Leighton Is sixty years old, and
the longest distance travelled by him in
one day on his recent unique outing was
twenty-six miles.
