"The Old Ebbitt House Habit

Washington Correspondence Of New York Times.
The failure TO suggest something in the
way of settlement of the expansion prob
lem. after il has been the chief subject of
thought with the president for at least
three months. was not surprise to those
who are Informed about the mind charac-
teristics of the president, but il was never
theIess a disappointment. Before Major
Mckinley became president he had ac-
quired the habit of suppreSsing opinions.
The person who went to him to learn his
opinion of controverted question. hoping
to be assisted in reaching conclusion for
himself. would meet patient. careful
questioner. His questions would be put
so analytically as to show that he saw the
points of subject about which there
might he difference of opinion. To dozen
different visitors to his room in the Ebbitt
house he would put the same questions.
and probably slowed the replies carefully
away in his memory for future use.
Much of the old Ebbitt house habit adj
heres in the White House. The president
has his ear to the ground" so much OF the
time that he seldom ventures an opinion
to even his cabinet officers. He is not less
secretive with them than he is with the
people at large. If he has a clear idea of
what the national policy should he in the
new possessions. ne has not communicated
it to the body of advisers about him. In
deed. several of his cabinet officers enter
tain and express much more decided opin-
ions about the policy of expansion than
they have heard from the president.

DOUBTFUL ABOUT RECIPROCITY
LUMBER AND FARM PRODUCTS ARE
STUMBLING BLOCKS.
Treaty Will Cover Practically All the
Points of Controversy Between
the Two Countries, Except-
ing the One of Tariff
Relations.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 1.-THE meeting OF
the Canadian joint commission on Monday
next will be the last before January .,
when the commissioners will reasSemble
in Washington to conclude whatever treaty
they are able to agree upon for presenta-
tion to their respective governments. 1t
may be definitely stated that treaty
covering practically all the points under
consideration except that of reciprocity
will be signed. 1t is almost equally sure
that some matters of reciprocal trade rela-
tions will be adjusted. and that these will
be fewer in number than the Canadian
commissioners had hoped in opening ne
gotiations.
Any more definite statement than this.
it is said upon authority, would be spec
ulation upon very insufficient basis. Both
sides of the commission adhere to their
policy of silence on the ground that any
premature publication would jeopardize
the chances of ratifying whatever features
of the treaty have been agreed upon.
1t may be said however, that lumber and
agricultural products are the two stum-
bling blocks to full reciprocity. The Cana
dian commissioners have presented very
full statement covering the lumber trade,
the gist of which is that forest products
are SO large a percentage OF Canadas en-
ports and yet are relatively so small COM
pared with the total forest product of the
United States that liberal concessions on
this point are essential to satisfy public
sentiment in Canada, and could be made
without serious detriment TO the United
States.
Practically the whole statement has been
presented concerning agricultural products.
The Canadian commission has urged that
Canada is a larger consumer per capita
of America manufactures than the whole
Western hemisphere south of the United
States Further, it is urged that last year
Canada gave the United States Sio,GOn0o
free list. and. in view of these facts, some
essential concessions must be made to the
Canadian farmers. 1t being represented that
agraran sentiment is fully as important to
the Dominion government as it is TO the
United States. This is the status. so far
as it can be stated, in which the negotia-
tions go over for the holiday recess.
