QUAINT OLD QUEBEC.
WORK AND PLEASURES OF THE IN
TERNATIoNAL COMMISSIONERS.

Signs OF the FrfendIient Feeling Be
tween Canadians and Americana.
Cordial Reception to Our Visiting
Soldiers and Sailors.
Especial Correspondence
QUEBEC, Oct. 22.-The assembling Of
the international commission in this
drowsy old town has marked an epoch
in its history. During the intervals be-
tween the sessions Of the provincial
parliament Quebec is very dull indeed,
and the break in the monotonous rou-
tine of life produced by the presence Of
the commissioners was welcome relief
to many. Still, would not have it IN
derstood that the inhabitants of the city
are oppressed by the soporific influences
pervading the place or really desire a
change. They seem to enjoy life in their
own quiet way in this picturesque,
walled city, which has so medieval an
aspect that it makes one feel as if
thrown backward five centuries into a
corner of Normandy. The speech of the
people also tends to help the ILLUSION,
for though not exactly mediRval in its
character il bears a much closer Tesem-
blance to the French spoken in the time
of Louis XIV than it does to that spo-
ken in Paris today.
The commissioners serious business
of negotiating and treaty making did
not preclude periods of relaxation when
social pleasures and less exaoting and
more pleasant duties occupied the at
tention of the members. Ever since the
American and British commissions met
there has been a round of festivities and
banquets held in the city. The stars
and stripes and the union jack have
been displayed side by side, and the
negotiations thus far have been conduct
ed so harmoniously and with so little
friction that it is quite safe to predict
such a termination of their labors as
will bring the American and British
people closer together and remove causes
of disagreement, which have seriously
threatened their peaceful relationship.
The final meeting of the commission
ers was merely formal and was only at
tended by minority of the American
members The two commissions will
soon reassemble in Washington, but it
is probable that the treaty resulting
from the deliberations viii be signed in
Quebec, it having been so decided by
Lord Hersoheu and Senator Fairbanks
before the adjournment.
Relative to the progress made the lat
ter remarked that he was not commit
ting any breach Of faith in stating that
the negotiations thus far had proceeded
in the most friendly spirit, as was to
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1898-11-24

be expected when diplomats met each
other IN q most friendly spirit and were
prepared to make mutual concessions to
secure desirable ends. Senator Fair
banks added that he was most sanguine
Of the results Of the deliberations, as it
was not difficult to anticipate the con-
clusion. Lord Hersoheu was not less
hopeful in his anticipations and predict
ed a favorable issue to the work Of the
commissioners. His lordship remarked
that he had long ago realized that war
between the Americans and the mother
country was out of the question. Both
nations, he added, had a common duty
to perform. 1t was a work Of civiliza-
ton and friendly competition in ex-
banding trade and spreading the light
of education and knowledge.
Various manufacturing interests in
Canada have been protesting against the
adoption Of free trade or reciprocity
with the United States. Chief among
these were the piano and bicycle manu-
facturers and those interested in the
leather industry. These have been
bringing pressure to bear upon Sir Will
frid LaurIer and his colleagues in the
Dominion government, and claim that
their respective industries will be ruined
by the adoption of reciprocal trade with
the Americans. While they all received
a respectful hearing, / am certain their
presentations will have but little
weight. Sir Wilfrid is practically a
free trader, and will very probably be
prepared to go to greater lengths in Sc
curing reciprocity with the United
States than the American commission
ers. 1t is unlikely, however, that he
and his associates will be willing to
agree TO discriminative trade regula-
lions favoring the United States against
Great Britain.
The presence Of an American war
vessel, the Marblshead, and several
British cruisers in the harbor added
another interesting feature to life in
the old town during the closing weeks
of the commissioner conference. The
American and British officers and tars
we're royalty treated, and oonsorted as
old friends. Not less i'm portant was the
peaceful invasion of the Honorable Al
tillery Company of Boston. They ap-

HOME DRESS.
New IDEAS In Wrappers and Hsuse
Jackets.
Tspeeial Correspondenee. )

Especial Correspondence.J
New YORK, Oct. 24.-Yesterday it
was my good fortune to come across
some of the prettiest wrappers that I
have ever seen. These are made com
fortably and SO that they fit nicely and
look well, while being intended for
early morning wear or for slipping on
in that delicious half hour before bed.
Then is when a lady really enjoys a
nice, coy wrapper iR an easy chair be-
fore the fire, where shs-can sit and think
over the events of the day.
For these wrappers there are two
kinds of material used. One, the cheap
er, is fannelette, which is somewhat like
outing flannel, only heavier, and in
richer, darker oolors and more elaborate
figures. The other is elder down flannel.
The first is cotton and the second all
wool, thick and downy, yet light and
flexible. FlanneIette is pretty, and can
be made with the fleece outside or in
side, and it will wash. 1t is light and
warm, but nowhere near as coy and
warm as the elder down flannel. The
hanneIette is produced in stripes, broken
plaids, but most often in floral or palm
leaf designs in rich colors on rather
dull, dark grounds One design had a
ground of dark olive green, with au-
tumn leaves scattered over it, some of
them being almost gorgeous in, color,
while others were faded and orumpled.
The whole effect WAS altogether pleas
ant. These wrappers are made with snug
princess back and also with vatican
pIaits, but the vatican is scarcely as
fashionable this season as the princess.
The fronts are out fuller than before,
around the bottom and waist where the
fuIlness is held in with a handsome
cord and tassels matching the colors.
Nearly all wrappers have rundown

kept ready for service. There is consid-
cradle space between the new timber
drydock and the wall separating the
government property from that Of the
city where the shed could be erected. In
fact, plans were made and submitted TO
the navy department some time ago for
q building in which II torpedo boats
could be housed without any difficulty.
Tt was also suggested that a hydraulic
hoist with sufficient power to haul
these little vessels out of the water be
installed at the entrance to the house.
For some unknown reason nothing has
ever been done further than to have the
plans submitted for the plant
The big drydoek, which was so badly
damaged and which it was thought was
beyond repair, has stood the test well.
All of the large ships have been fioated
in 70 have the hull plates cleaned.
There has been no sign of weakness
nor has a leak occurred in the big struc-
ture. This proves beyond any doubt
that the dock Is in a better and safer
condition today than ever before. The
work of reoonstructing the dock was in
charge of Naval Constructor Bowles
F. A. VERDI.
