THE ANeLo-AMERioAN COMMISSION

HI ANGLO-AMERiCAN COMMISSION.
1t is said to have been arranged that
the next meeting Of the Anglo-Ameri-
can commission will not be held until
after the Canadian elections. 1t is also
stated that when the commission meets
1t will probably agree upon a temporary
arrangement giving Canada the right,
till the determination of the boundary
question, to occupy a port on the Lynn
canal, and that the United States will
admit white pine lumber free of duty,
while coal is to be free both ways,
and western Canada! For these con
cessions Great Britain will concede TO
us free access to the Canadian fisheries,
Il relaxation Of the agreement limiting
naval forces in the great lakes and a
release from u agreement in the Clay
ton-Bulwer treaty to make no isthmian
canal except in cooperation with Great
Britain.
This may all be the merest conjecture,
without any foundation, but it would
doubtless be just as well to postpone
the meeting of the joint high commits
sion till after the Canadian elections,
since it is almost certain that 1t could
accomplish nothing pending the cleo
tions, while the campaign and It's result
will show Enthusiastically the Canadian
attitude in regard to the questions
which the commission was created to
adjust.

Nebraska's First regiment came home

present moment the state has never been

remember a curious incident con-
nected with the tap root of an oak.
This oak. Il good tree of perhaps 200
years growth. was being felled at
Brakeman wood when the woodmen
called attention to something peculiar
on the tap root. On clearing this of soil
we found that the object was a morse
shoe of ancient make Obviously in
the beginning an acorn must have fall
en- into the hollow of this cast shoe. and
as it grew through the slow genera
tiOns the root filed up the circle, car
rying it down into the earth in the
process of its increase till at length we
found wood and iron thus strangely
welded. That tap root with the shoe
