lNlMICAL TO CANADA
People of Newfoundland Prefer Annexation
to United States.
Bishop Hnwiey Says a Canadian Syn
dictate Has SwfndIed His
Country ShamefuIIy.

MARSHALL, Mich, May 11-Rt Rev.
BISHOP Hawiey of st. Johns. n. F., admin
istered confirmation in st. Mary's Church
today TO large class. In an Interview
Bishop Hawley said:
The public sentiment OF Newfoundland
Is more in favor of annexation to America
than Of confederation with Canada This
feeling has been accentuated by the fact
that the country has recently been betrayed
and drawn into g most shameful railway
contract by q Canadian syndicate and Can
adian politicians. 1t amounts to a virtual
swindling of the country out of s19. 900 900
of our railway and all our coal. minerals
forests and agricultural lands. A desperate
hight for our freedom is now imminent. The
local parliament opens today and il is be-
lfeved the government will be defeated and
the contract broken up.
Il do not believe there Is any immediate
prospect of the settlement of the French
shore question. The complication arises not
from any intrinsic difficulty in the case
but because politicians have always thought
of 1t rather as a means OF exploiting their
own popularity than of relieving the coun-
try of the grave burden of the French ag-

The Boston to he Detained.
WE MADE MANY CONCESSIONS.
Not ResponsibIe for the Future of tn.
Joint COmmissiOp.

The statements of the press of London
and Canada respecting the reasons for the
recent failure of the negotiations with Can
ada have occasioned much surprise in the
official world of Washington. These state
ments assume that the Canadians made all
the offers Of CONCESSIONS the United States
commissioners standing by existing condi-
tions. The facts as understood here are di-
rectly TO the contrary. There are certain
facts which tend to contradict the state
ments of the British press, which are now
made know for the first time.
Take the question of trade with Canada
for example. 1t is positively known that
the Americans offered absolute free trade
in mineral products, an enlargement OF the
free list OF forest products; an important
concession in duty on lumber and on most
agricultural products. 1t is also known that
they offered liberal terms for the adjust
nent of the Bering sea sealing question,
and offered an amicable method for the adj
justment of the boundary question, yielded
to Canada's views in respect to alien labor
and TO the lake fisheries and offered recip-
rocal mining privileges.
Indeed, il the opinion in well-informed
circles here is well founded. nearly every
offer of concession came from the United
States, the Canadians as d rule declining to
commit themselves to any distinct PROPOSE
ton on the foregoing topics, the Alaska
boundary excepted. In fact, 1t is universal
ly believed here that the, distinct offer of
wholly from the United States commits

iron IND STEEL In Big DEMAND
America IN Future viii Have For
eign Market to Look To.
PROSPERITY HERE TO STAY

Cl.EN EIAND, May 1.-THE Iron Trade
Review of today prints a letter written to
its editor by Andrew Carnegie lust before
he sailed for Europe
The paper refers to II as Mr. Carnegie's
last trade utterance as an American steel
master" and adds that the davelopments
of the past week give special significance
and interest to it," The letter is as fol-
lows.
Concerning the prospects for business in
1899 these are not in doubt. So many or
d"rs for the present year are on the books
of manufacturers that it would require
scme very startling element to affect the
result.
Prosperity Come to stay.
II do not see any probability Of the pre-
vailing prosperity coming to an end before
next winter-perhaps not then-although
the rise in prices must tend to check con-
sumption, ana especially the export trade.
but the difficulty now is To take care Of
the homa drmand-a demand which is le-
climate, covering actual requirements and
not increasing stocks. Although The de-
maad abroad is now so great. prices are
Stili advancing ana W.. may nnd a market
for considerable quantities, even at present
prices here
when depression comes. the American
manufacturer viii have one reserve which
has not hitherto been his. namely. he will
be able to produce at a cost which viii
enable him to supply the world outside. and
this. fortunately. viii keep labor more fully
employed than II has been hitherto under
similar circumstances.
Another element in his favor Is the in
creased consumption OF steel, its use for
SO many things; that upon the whole L
believ" the industry 10 Ice upon more solid
foundations than ever before.
Nmcricn's BriGht Outlook.
Upon one point / am well assured: That
the increased demand of the world for iron
and steel are chiefly to be met 10y tha
United States. Great Britain and Germany
are now running up 10 their fullest capac-
ity. although Great Britain shows this year
even a slight decline in product The de-
raaEd which is to come beyond the present
production is to be the prize Of the Amer
ican manufacturer, and unless the present
activity creates capacity far beyond any
possible demand, a. is TO be feared, man
ufacturers should obtain profitable prices
for some time to come.
The country has never entered upon
period Of activity under conditions so favor
able. Many years Of inactivity and saving:
splendid crops for TWO years sold at high
prices to the Foreigners, great advance ia
cthods Of producIi.u; an enormous trade
balance in our faGor-all these elements
combined Justify the optimistic views which
prevail. Our iron ana steel manufacturers
deserve prosperity for a time. for they havo
had a hard struggle for years.

SENATOR FAIRBANKS TRIP.
Will Investigate Disputed Questions
When He Goes to Alaska.

Senator Fairbanks Of Indiana was at the
State Department today. and saw Secretary
Hay for a short time regarding matters
pertaining to the Angio-American commits
sion of which he is chairman. He also
called upon Mr.. kasson, a member Of
the commission. Senator Fairbanks will
leave Seattle for Alaska about June
10. for the purpose of making per-
sOnal investigation OF the Alaskan
boundary. which IS one of the main ques-
items of difference between the United
States and Great Britain before the com
mission. Senator Fairbanks hoped that
81 ne other members of the commission
might accompany him, but it appears that
other engagements Will prevent them from
doing so. The senator intends to inspect
the Portland canal, the Lynn canal, Dyea,
Skaguay and other points.
1t appears that there Is a vast difference
of opinion as to the conditions in lower
Alaska, the testimony before the commits
sion being very contradictory. Some wit
nesses asserted that there We're no noun
Of mountains. and others insisting that
such a range existed, and would show that
the head of Lynn canal came within British
territory. There is also a dispute as to
what territory IS included within ten ma

whether this Should be reckoned from the
edge Of the mainland or from the islands,
and also whether il should be on a line

CASE OF DIR. WHITSITT.
Charge Against President of Southern
Baptist Theological Seminary.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, May n.-DeIesates
to the Southern Baptist convention, which
opens here tomorrow, are already arriving.
The board of trustees of the Southern
Baptist Theological Seminary will meet In
annual session today. The trustees Will act
upon the resignation of DR.. Whitsitt, presi-
dent of the seminary.
DR.. Whitsitt resigned last fall because of
fierce opposition shown him after the pub
lication of an article by him in JohnsOn's
Encyclopedia. This article contained the
statement that Roger Williams and the
Baptists baptized in England in 1912 We're
srrinkled and not immersed. DIR. NhitSitt
backed up his statement with the result of
his investigations among the pamphlets and
records of the British Museum. Attention
called TO the article and fierce war
has been made upon him in the church, led
by DR.. Eaton, editor of the Western Re
corder and pastor of the biggest Baptist
Church in the city. Dr. Whtsftt finally
resigned, but if the trustees sustain him he
will continue at the head of the seminary.
1t is said a majority of the board favor
him.
