The joint high Anglo-Americap commits
sion, which has been In session in this city
for several weeks, will adjourn on the 10Th
Instant
The Canadians will give a banquet on the
l"th' TO which the Americans Will be in
Nloed. The understanding is that the ses-
slons Will not be RESUMED until March
next. Whether the sessions will he resumed
at Quebec. where they were begun. or in
this city has not been fixed.
The decision TO adjourn has grown Out of
the developments OF the past week While
there are several protocols in the proposed
treaty notably the Bering sea and north
Atlantic hsheries. reciprocity and questions
affecting The great lakes. reciprocity Is the
one great subject In which the Canadians
are interested. Last week the commission
ers came nearer than they have ever been
before 10 the discussion of that subject.
The Canadians have submitted proposals
and The Americans counter proposals.
These counter proposals showed that the
Americans were disposed to be uuyieldng
and that much smaller concessions would
really be made than had been expected.
The negotiations of last week also con-
WINGED the Canadians that free lumber
consummation they and all their people
have devoutly wished for. was impossible.
1t is said that the Americans have agreed
to a small reduction of the duty on live
animals and have intimated that they may
agree to a small reduction in the duty on
lumber, now 81 per thousand. The Cana
dams have hoped for much larger conces-
SiUns.
ent impOssibility of reaching an agreement
before Christmas are said to have led to the
decision for adjournment. At present the
outlook for an agreement Is not bright.

OUR INTERESTS IN CHINA.
Former Minister Barrett Says Russian
Influence May Prove Injurious.

John Barrett. formerly United States min
lister to Siam. has returned to Shanghai
after visiting Pekin and the principal Chi
nese ports. In a recent interview he says the
situation in China is of the most critical
nature. and that Manchuria II no longer
Chinese. but Russian, territory.
He asserts that New-Chwang. the chief
northern port for the movement Of Ameri-
can products, is also practically Russiak.
and is liable to be closed any day.
The only permanent safeguard to the
paramount American and British interests,
Mr. Barrett says. is immediate and united
action by the Interested governments to de-
fend the integrity of the Chinese empire. to
enforce reforms in the government. To pre-
vent further cesSions OF ports and prov
inceS and to insist upon the open door
policy in all ports of China, including the
spheres of influence claimed by Russia,
Germany and France Otherwise. Mr.. Bar
rett contends, the impending partition OF
the Chinese empire will seriously curtail
the field of trade by disastrouslY affecting
American and British influence in Asia.
