4 Canadian on The Commission.

There is timely article in the Az
gust Forum by Edward Farrar on "The
Anglo American Commission. which
is shortly to sit in Quebec to settle, If
possible, the questions that have long
been a source of irritation between our
Canadian neighbors and ourselves. Mr.
Farrar. who is a Canadian journalist
particularly well qualified to speak of
the subjects that are to be discussed by
the commission, says that with the
exception of the Venezula controversy.
which soon subsidized, all the disputes
that have taken place between Eng
land and the United States since the
Geneva award, that is to say, in the
last five and twenty years, have been
disputes of Canadian or Newfound-
land origin.
He further points out that the ques-
tions involved have little or no interest
for Englishmen, because of their sub
stantial nsignificance. Take the seal
question, for instance, which for ten
years past has been causing no end of
trouble between England and this coun-
try, led to the exchange of reams of We
hement dispatches that almost precipi-
tated war, and finally was adjudicated
by an international tribunal-how
much was involved in it? Mr. Farrar
says that the aggregate tonnage of the
exceed $500 tons, while as to the merits
of the controversy there are not half
dozen persons in the United Kingdom
that understand them.
The commercial relations between
the United States and Canada is the
actuating cause for the existence of
the commission. Ever since his acces
sion to power, two years ago, Sir Will
frid Laurier has been paving the way
for a commission of this kind. Canada
is the third best customer of the Uni
ted States. and is far more valuable to

rar. than all of the Latin republics put
together. Consequently commercial
reciprocity will be one of the important
subjects considered. The alien labor
laws will also be taken up with a view
to their modification to the mutual adj
vantage of both countries. The Alas
ka boundary line is another and quite
intricate subject to be settled by the
commission. The Behring sea and
Newfoundland fishery questions will
also come up for final settlement, and
probably there will be a revision of the
understanding" of 1917 respecting
gunboats on the lakes.
All these matters are of the highest
interest to both countries and should
be arranged to the advantage of both

"A correspondent of one of the Lon

need be feared from yellow fever if the

till vomiting and purging ensue. This

A correspondent writes as follows to
the Brunswick Telegraph: 'Hawthorne
when student in college, boarded with
the mother of the writer, and we often
went fishing for trout in what is now
known as Mall brook. At that time the
students called it HaWthorne'S brook.
He was rather reserved in manner and
had but few associates When in col
leGe he was not over five feet eight
inches in height. 1t was the custom at
that time for the students when they
met President Allen to raise their. hats.
Hawthorne and John Hodgdon, it was
said, were brought up among the
Friends and they did not raise their
hats when passing the president. Haw-
thorne was summoned before the
president for this neglect, and l have
forgotten whether he was suspended or
escaped with only a reprimand. He
occupied a chamber in the house locat-
ed on the north corner of Federal and
Cleaveland streets. The stairs leading
to this room We're on the outside of the
house. 1t was the custom of the small
boys to play around this corner and
Hawthorne would occasionally come to
the top of the stairs and throw a hand
full of coppers among the boys and
laugh heartily to see them scramble for
the cents. Jonathan Cilley was the
handsomest man in the class of '25, and
the most social and popular student,
especially among the young ladies ct
that time. He was also n good sports
man. Cilley was killed in a duel with
Graves. while Il representative in Con-
gress from Lincoln county"
