arising out of the ausgleich, the agree

RETALIATION IS THREATENED
CANADA IS L.svURRING DIS
PLEASURE OF UNCLE SAM.
May Issue An Oroer Which Will
Prohibit Importation of Logs Into
The United States.

Washington, May 26.-There is little
doubt our government is inclined to
retaliatory considerations against Can
ada by the discouraging results of the
negotiations in London, looking to the
clearing of the field for the reassem-
bling of the joint Canadian commits
sion. 1t is gathered that the British
foreign office, which had seemed de-
sirous to meet Mr.. Choate's advances
in the spirit of compromise that prom
ised We'll, has been again Influenced
by Canada's refusal to agree TO any
thing 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 ar
rangement of plan TO protect the in
tereSts of the United States, and a de-
cision from Secretary Gage is expected
very soon. The treasury department
has now two courses open, both being
retaliatory. The first is the prepara-
ton of an amendment to the tariff.
largely increasing duties on lumber and
forest products imported into the
United States from Canada
There is possibly another course. A
section of the Dingley act authorizes
the United States, in cases where
countries impose an export duty, to add
the equivalent of such export duty to
the import on such goods coming to the
United States.
The Canadian government is not i'm
posing in SO many words an export
duty on logs, but it has prohibited their
expectation. The question before Sec
rotary Gage is whether this prohibit
tion may not be regarded as in prin-
ciple the same thing as an excessive.
and, therefore. prohibitive. export tax.
If this view is found correct, the
treasury has already at hand measures
of retaliation, it seems. in the shape of
an order prohibiting the Importation of
Canadian logs into the United States,
which will bear very heavily upon
other provinces in Canada outside of
Ontario

SMALL HOPE FOR THE PARIS.
Another Unsuccessful Effort to Get
Her Of the Rocks.

Coverack, Cornwall. May pa su-
preme effort to float the American line
steamer Paris commenced at $40 p. N.
today Smoke was then belching from
all her tunnels, and the tugs assisting
her churned the water into foam. The
noise of the straining engines was aud
ible far. A fresh e. S. Z. breeze was
blowing, and the sea was rising as the
ATTEMPT was made to refioat the
steamer.
When the tugs and engines of the
Paris were going full speed, the latter
appeared to be swaying a trifie, but the
leakage in the steamers engine room
was increasing. The attempt resulted
in another failure. The Paris is in the
same position, which is now regarded
as verv critical.
The wind has veered to the eastward
tonight. There is heavy sea, and the
Paris is rolling heavily.
