HOPE IS RENEWED
That Vexatious Questions Between United
States and Canada May Be Settled.

Washington. May 12.-Due notice has
been taken by the officials here of the
semi-oflicial declaration from London
respecting the chances for the conclu-
sion of a treaty that will settle all Of
the questions at issue between the
United States and Canada.
The administration will be extreme
ly gratilied if Sir Julian Pauncefote re-
turns to the United States with new
instructions that will meet the diff
culties which bafiled the first commits
sion, for. as matters stand, it is real
lied that nothing can be expected to
result from further meeting of the
commission.
The statement that the negotiations
are to be deferred until the return of
Sir Julian Pauncefote is regarded as
significant. 1t confirms fully the origi-
nal statement that the commission
cannot meet August 2nd next, for the
ambassadors return to this country
was set for next autumn.
The dispatch also appears to convey
an intimation that the British govern
ment has about reached the conclusion
that the only method by which these
veXatiOus issues can be adjusted, is by
direct negotiation between he repre-
sentati"es Of the governments of Great
Britain and the United States

A NAlIONAL TRIBUTE.
New York Times Suggests What We Miqht Do
Tor Admiral Dewey.

New York, May 1.-THE New York
Times in an editorial entitled What
Shall We Do for Dewey" tomorrow.
will say in part:
1t is quite true that, according To
our presidents, we have not been Mig
gardly in recognition of the great ser
vices of Commodore" Dewey as he
was a year ago But there is a persist
ent and prevailing feeling that We
ought to do more; that the American
nation in some unofficial and sponta-
neous way, should recognize the services
or Dewey as the British nation recog-
nized the services of Wellington when
it presented him with the estates of
Strathfieldsay.
Evidently it will not do to exclude
from the national testimonial to the
admiral any American citizen who de-
sires to bear his part in it, Why not
appeal directly to the public through
its immediate organs and agents. the
newspapers? There are some 10000
periodicals in the United States Among
them are PIG daily papers, which rep
resent the sentiment of the United
States. Let us assume that only one
fourth part of these are in position to
act as collecting and distributing
agents for a national Dewey testi-
monial and that each one of these 800
is willing to pledge itself to the collec-
ton from its readers and the transmits
sion to the appointed trustees, of the
sum of $500 for that fund. The aGgre-
gate of these would be $3.50, 900. Half
of this should so to the erection of Il
residence for the admiral in whatever
place in the United States he might
prefer to put it and the other half for
his personal use.

There is no reason why the aggregate
should not be correspondingly in
creased. This would be truly ma
tional and popular subscription. The
admiral would not be at liberty to re-
fuse it, since it would not be the crea-
ton of an obligation on his part, but
only the recognition of an obligation on
