Talk of Rss.ll.sioa Upoa c.n.A,.


The question as to whether this gov
eminent Is in position to retAliste
upon Canada for the enactment by
Ontario of the prohibiting tho sxpop-
tation Of logs has taken another ka-
leidosopic turn The treasury depart
ment was recently on the eve of In
structing collectors to refuse entry 10
all kinds Of Canadian lumber when
Secretary Hay automatically inter.
posed with the suggestion that action
be postponed until the meeting OF the
joint high commission in August
Within the past week the subject has
taken another phase. There Is little
doubt that the government Is inclined
to retalitory considerations by the dis
couraging results of the negotiations
in London, looking to the clearing of
the field for the assembling of the
joint Canadian commission. 1t is gath
cred that the British foreign Office,
which had seemed DESTROYS to meet
Mr.. Choate's advances in the spirit of
compromise that promised WELL has
been again influenced by Canada's re-
fusal to agree to anything less than a
concession of all of their demands,
which has stopped all progress The
department of state has referred to
the treasury department the arrange
ment of plan to protect the interests
of the U. s. and decision from Secre-
tary Gage is expected very soon. The
treasury department now has two
courses open. both being retaliatory
The first is the preparation of an
amendment to the tariff act largely
increasing the duties on lumber and
forest products imported into the U. 8.
from Canada.

commission in preparing for publica-
ton the testimony taken by that body,
together with its report, has been COM
pleted except the printing, and the
civilian employees have been given no.
tice of their discharge. The expenses
thus far incurred have almost entirely
absorbed the special allotment made
from the $5O.0O0,OOO emergency war
appropriation set aside for the COM

America VIII Have Her WAY.

A special from The Hague says that
serious differences of opinion have
been manifested between the U. s.
representatives and those of certain
powers on the subject of discussing
the seizure of private property at sea.
The Americans insist upon the dis
cussion, agreeing to abide by the voice
of a majority in the decision, but they
will not have the matter ruled out of
court. In order to prevent a misun-
Outstanding the Americans will be al

Coney Island Visited by Fire

Coney Island was visited by fire on
the Goth which destroyed $3.50. 200
worth of property. Fire broke out
simultaneously on both ends of 1.-The
Bowery," about five blocks apart and
close to the beach, and the places
where the fires originated were both
almost inaccessible for fire engines
The fact that the fires broke out ST.
multaneously is taken as indication
that they were of incendiary origin.

ABOUT COVERING your WALLS.

Don't let any of the mixtures go on
your rooms that depend on glue to
hold them to the wall.
The Michigan State Board Of Health
has given much attention to this sub
ject. A paper was read at one Of their
state conventions and published with
their annual report. In which the use
Of paper and kalsomine on walls was
strongly condemned and Alabastine
recommended. And the State once
published book entitled. shadows
from the Walls of Death" and placed
1t In all public libraries Of the State.
Send to the Alabastine Co., Grand
Rapids Mich. for board Of health
paper above mentioned.
One five-pound package Of Alabas-
tine will cover fifty square yards of
average surface. II the walls are
rough or absorbent II Will require
more. Relief work, stippling, comb
ing, ETC., require much more per yard;
II will cover double the surface that
the same amount Of whiting will
cover.

BLUEF|ELDS' SIEGE RAISED.
Gen. Torres and His Troops Have
Been Recalled.
TRIUMPH FOR UNITED STATES
Firm Attitude Displayed by the State
Department ut Washington Has Inn
pressed the Nicsrasusn Government

Panama, May 29.-The correspond
ent In Managua telegraphs that the
government has raised the state Of
siege in Bluefelds. and Gen. Torres and
his troops have been recalled.
Washington, May 26.-The firm at
titude Of the United States In the
Blue fields dispute and In the Pears
case is bringing Nicaragua and Hon
duras to terms. Minister Merry has
informed the state department that the
Nicaraguan government has relieved
Gen. Torres from command of the de-
partment Of Bluefelds, and that he un-
derstands the Managua authorities will
not press the American merchants for
the double payment of duties as origin
ally exacted.
Honduras is still trying to secure ar
bitration of the Pears case, and to this
end has enlisted the good offices of
Guatemala, which has urged the United
public. This government recently re-
fused arbitration when suggested by
the Honduran government, and the in
structions sent to Minister Hunter will
cause him to persist in his refusal and
continue to press the demand for the
indemnity of $4,000 for Frank Pears
of Pittsburg, who was murdered by a
Honduran soldier.
Gen. Torres removal Is the result OF
representations made by Minister
Merry, complaining of the harsh treat
ment accorded to American citizens In
Bluefields by that official. Both Min
lister Merry and Minister Hunter have
made it plain to the Nicaraguan and
Honduran authorities that the United
States has grown tired Of the continued
prosecutions Of American citizens.
Now that the Bluefields trouble has
been disposed Of, the Detroit will be
ordered north Immediately upon the
vixen's arrival. The Vixen will remain
In Central American waters to protect
American interests until the depart
ment has fitted up and sent convert
ed yacht to relieve her.

The outlook for wheat in Ionia
county is decidedly poor-it will not
be half crop in most cases, and many
fields will not yield five bushels per
acre. Many fields are being plowed
up and put into corn. A resident of
Portland recently drove from there to
near Ann Arbor and he reports that
there is not one good piece of wheat in
all that distance. He says cattle are
turned in upon II or else IL is being
plowed up. That which looks good Is
not, for 1t is badly affected by insects
and worms.

Farmers In n Dilemma.

The burning of the creamery at
Grass Lake has put the farming COM
munity Whereabouts in dilemma.
The creamery was built four years ago,
since which time the farmers have
been steadily adding to their dairy
stock until at present there are over
400 patrons owning from five to 70 cows
each, and some even more. What to
do with the milk during the rebuilding
is a vexing problem, as there are but
few families prepared to care for the
large product. The probability is that
new separator will be bought at
once and business resumed as fast as
practicable pending the rebuilding.

decided to go as far west this summer
as ST. Paul, but whether he will go on
TO the Yellowstone Park and the coast,
much depends upon circumstances
