American cottons have to pay a higher
duty In proportion to value than the heav-

The duties on smoked or sailed meats

NO SERVICES AT OTTAWA, ,
Government Afraid of Offending Sects
Outside Anglican Church.

A dispatsh from Ottawa. Ontario, says,
great sensation has been created here
by the announcement that the government
has withdrawn Its sanction to the state
memorial service, which was to have been
held on Saturday next In Christ Church
Cathedral. the principal Anglican church
in the diocese. and for which elaborate ar
engagements were being made.
The reasons given for the governments
action are that there Is no state church
In Canada and that the holding OF a state
service in Christ Church Cathedral might
be regarded as a recognition of the Church
OF. England as the state church OF theadc-
minion, and consequently would give great
offense to other denominations throughout
Canada. A funeral service will be held on
Saturday, but 1t will not be state affair.

by the authorities before a grateful
acceptance closed the incident. The
acceptance was not indecently de-
