DISCUSSION OF TRADE RELATIONS BY BRITISH
COMMERCIAL DELEGATES.
London. June Z7.-On the resumption to-day Of
the session Association of Chambers OF Com
merce of the United Kingdom the president of the
Board of Trade. c. 7. Ritchie, addressed the dele
gates. Referring 10 yesterdays discussion Of COM
uercial relations he said he believed the days Of
the strict Manchester free trade school were pass
ing The remark greeted with cheers and
cries of dissent after which Mr. Richie explained
that he did not wish infer that Great Britain
was likely TO abandon her free trade policy but
thought that without departing from the funda-
mental principle, there might be arranged closer
reciprocal connection between the motheTIand and
the colonies.
The delegates spent most of the day in debating
the resolution proposed yesterday By the Toronto
Board of Trade advocating THE adoption or a
commercial policy based on the principle Of mutual
benefit nv which each part OF the empire may re-
ceive substantial advantage in trade as the result
of its national relationship, and an amendment OF
The Manchester Chamber OF Commerce in favor or
free trade The discussions were of the most ami
the attitude of the British free traders Finally
q conference of the disputants was held, and re-
suited in the announcement that an agreement had
been reached to ask the Government 10 appoint a
rovaI commission consisting of representatives OF
Great Britain and the colonies and India, 70 con-
slider the best means of strengthening trade rela-
1ions between the different parts OF the empire

1t is true that not all these abnormal can

tory, Washingtons farewell to his officers at the
close of the war. and. turning every parsonage

story at great length. The picture would be
funny if it was not pathetic in its faulty. Lady
GOdiva has touched the imagination of M. Le
febvre. His reconstruction of the ancient Eng

markably picturesque. His Lady GOdiVa, how
ever is Parisienne pure and simple All the
charm of the old story evaporates. Nothing is
left but mechanical skill, and size. But it is
impossible, even If it were desirable, to traverse
these artistic mOnstrosities one by one. 1t is
bad enough-not to speak with fiippancy-to
take them in bulk. The Royal Academy in the
years of its most passionate devotion to the
painted anecdote,' never presented such an
orray of wearisome machines the great
French Exposition OF 1900 puts forward The
work is appalling in the spectacle it presents
of labor thrown away. For all these pictures
are put together with ability. The style is
stereotyped, almost lifeless. yet, far it
gees, it is adequate. The draughtsmanship,
though mechanical, is never amateurish. The
designs judiciously composed. Everything
is smooth, in order the SNUG justification of Sc
professional training. But the deadening
influence of a movement which demands that
every artist should conform TO a certain official
standard runs through the school like a blight
Now and then one finds like Roybet who

the craze for covering canvas by the furlong

dealing with the heat that is encountered in a
mountain tunnel when it has attained a certain

Secretary Hay and Lord Paunce-
fote Confer Regarding Pc
- king Agreement.
Can See No Reason For Opposi.
tion to Change Asked by
Great Britain.
Said Germany and Other Powers
Are Warmly Supporting
the Proposal.

WARRINGTON, Dec 19.-Secretary
Hay had conference during the
morning with Lord Pauncefote, the
British ambassador, devoted solely to
the Chinese situation. The result was
to clear up, 80 far as that can be ac-
comphshed in Washington, some OBJ.
scurity as to the Peking agreement,
and, unless unexpected opposition
comes from some other source, neither
the state department. nor the British
emDassy has.any reasnn to apprehend
further delay in the consum mation8of
the agreement.
A misunderstanding appears to exist
as to the British attitude, accordingt to
officials here. So far from holding ont
for moro severe terms and harsher
measures generally, it is stated that
the British government is in thorough
accord with our own policy, as devel.
opsd in the latest Peking negotiations
and ths exchanges that have taken
place between Secretary Hay and Lord
PAuncefots. Ths United ,States gov
ernmsnt itself has taken every precau.
tion, in making it, contribution to the
agrssmens, TO insure ito binding force
and ut no time has the British govern
msnt sought to 60 beyond tho state de.
paYtment in the terminology proposed
for the agreement.
