CONFERENCE ON TRUSTS
DE WHITES NOTE RECEIVED IN
WASHINGTON.
The United States Cannot Partici.
pate in the Proposed Meeting,
Owing to Constitutional
Limitations.

Washington, July 25.-Through the
United States Charge of the Embassy at
st. Petersburg, Mr.. Riddle, the State
Department has Just received copy of
the Russian note touching upon trusts,
which has caused so much comment in
Europe This note, which takes the form
of a circular, was identical and was hand
in st. Petersburg to the representatives
of all of the powers that participated IN
the Brussels sugar conference, and, IN
addition to Mr. Riddle for transmission
to his government at Washington. The
United States government was not rep
resented at the Brussels conference. 1t Is
supposed the note was supplied as a mat
ter OF information and as courtesy.
In the present view the United States
executive cannot participate in such
conference as it describes because Oh
constitutional limitations that cannot De
escaped. even IL there were no other OBJ
jections. It appears that the notes ref
erences to trusts, which are rather Incl
dental and alternative in character, have
attracted the principal share of public
attention, although the whole note ap-

support of the Russian system of regu-
lating sugar production and export.
The reference to an International trust
conference is actually, therefore, present
ed in the shape of an alternative pro-
posal or rather suggestion only, in case
the soundness of the Russian contention
in support of its preent system is sue
cessfully challenged.
The State Department cannot do more
at this stage than it has done, namely,
return polite acknowledgment through
Mr.. Riddle of the note and watch devel-
opments in Europe. 1t is not supposed
that there will be at once any action
calling another congress but rather that
the decision as to the character of the
Russian system of regulation of sugar
production will proceed; certainly up to
the date set for the application of the
agreement reached at Brussels for the
stoppage of sugar bounties and the ex-
clusion from importation of bounty aided
sugars.
That action will, it is expected precipi-
tate some decision upon the Russian pro-
posals.

SETTLING CANADIAN LANDS.
Americans Obtaining Possessions of
Choicest Tracts.

London July 25.--In the House Of Lords
today Lord Burgclere, Liberal, asked
Lord Onslow, Under Secretary for the
Colonial Office. If he could inform the
House regarding the alarming statements
that Canadian land was being bought up
by Americans of whom 100000 were said
to have emigrated to Canada this year,
The Under Secretary said he thought
Lord Burgclere's figures were incorrect.
In 1901 the number Of Americans who en-
igrated to Canada was 1887, while to the
most recent date this year the number
was "a, 100. The Under Secretary also said
that Western Canada land was being ia
ken up at unexampled rapidlty, not only
by Americans but by Englishmen and
other Europeans which bid fair to make
the Canadian wheat fields an important
factor in the wheat supply of the world.
Lord Rosebery. Liberal asked for the
figures of the emigrations from Canada
to the United States, but Lord Onslow
was unable to supply them.

The Two Men and Two Ideas.
Mobile Register.
Governor Jelks represents the consti-
tutiC nal reform idea and respect for the
voice of the people. Former Governor
Johnston represents tho reactionary or
anti-constitution idea, and the policy that
the people need 4 master hand. We
judge each man by his works. Mr.. Jelks
has favored and worked for constitution
al reform, and has allied himself with
the reformers, and has sought to give
us an administration responsive to the
interests of the people. Mr. Johnston,
after recommending constitutional re-
form, turned against 1t when he found

position to the reform, fought that re-
form with all his power and actually
succeeded in postponing action. Then,
when he was defeated in his effort to
keep the people from taking action. he
fought against ratification of the new
constitution. In short, he is the person
fication of the reactionary idea. He is
also in person the political dictator or
boss. His course while Governor is the
proof of this. He had much to say of
his respect for the people. but he left
nothing undone that would build up a
machine to control the people Had ne
