Rome, Aug 15.-Members of the re-

especially Sisters, are applying to the
vatican authorities for permission to
settle in the United States. Several
of them have come to Rome personal
ly for the purpose of urging their re-
quests. a reply has been sent to
them pointing out that there are no
vacancies in the United States, and
besides calling attention to the diff
Guilty arising from the fact that the ex-
PEELED Sisters do not speak the Eng

comparatively scarce there, and be-
cause French is spoken in large area
of the dominion. The applicants,
however, did not take kindly to the
suggestion and persist in their re-
quests to go to the United States.

bureau has directed that immediate
steps be taken for the collection of the

said, 100000. Under an opinion of

Halifax, N. S., Aug 15.-Hon J. I.
Tarfte, Canadian minister of public
works in a speech before the Canadian
Manufacturers association declared
that Canadians must no longer see
their markets slaughtereds by Ameri-
can manufacturers and the great trade
OF the continent carried through Amer
ican channels. The remedy he pfo-
posed was improvement of the Cana
dian waterways and higher tariff.
1--WE must" he said, transport from
west to east through Canadian cham
nels. This country must be united by
cheaper transportation and strong
Canadian tariff. The shortest route
to the seaboard is destined to be the
great carrying highway not only of the
Canadian wheat fields, but of the
whole American continent. We have a.
route from Georgian bay to Liverpool
300 miles shorter than via New York
The Canadian Pacific railroad nnH the
Grand Trunk must work together to
carry that trade via Canadian routes"
The minister stated that CANADA
would soon have fast Atlantic lire
and declared that Halifax In winter

SCARE HAS DIED OUT.
Manager of Navigation Company
Makes a Statement.

Makes n statement.
New York, Aug 15.-Rodman
Grisoom, general manager of the In
ternational Navigation company, just
returned from Europe and inter
viewed in Philadelphia on the steam
ship situation in Europe had this to
say:
'The foreigners, and particularly
the English people, seem to have got
ten over the supposed scare which was
said to have seized them when the
merger was accomplished. At the
present time the general public in
England is absorbed in the formation
of the proposed fast steamship line
which the English government has
asked for bids and will grant large
subsidies"
The consensus Of opinion in Eng
land, he said, is that the Canadian
Pacific Railroad company, which has
put in bid for the governments sub
sidy to be given to the new Canadian
line of steamships, will be awarded
the subsidy, and will build a new line
to run between an English port and
Canada.
The terminals of the road will then
give the company a direct line from
Europe to the Orient, the steamships
being connected with the railroad at
the Atlantic seaboard and at Vancouv-
er with the line of steamships owned
by the railroad company which 1yln
from that port to China and Japan.
with connections to India and AUS
tralia
Mr Griscom said this will put the
new line in competition with the Nor
gan combine steamship companies
which now run through lines from Eu-
rope as far as San Francisco, where
they connect with the vessels of the
Occidental and Oriental Steamship
company, in which the White Star
lines has, or had, large interests and
most of those ships formerly were
White Star liners in the North At
'lantic trade. MrGriscom did not think
that this possible competition would
work injury to the steamship lines
running into New York and this port
which are in the Morgan pier.

peace conference at The Hague.
Russian newspapers are displaying
keen interest in the projected Alaska
Behring Strains and Irkoutski rail-
way. They report it to be backed by
American millionaires, but do not men
ton the names of the promoters.
A special government commission
has recommended the construction Of

Transcaucasia to the Persian frontier

the Frivan line when that is built.
1t has long been an open secret that
the sugar legislation and policy of Mr.
Witte, the finance minister, finds no
more support in Russia, outside the
ranks of the sugar producers, than they
do abroad. This revolt appears now
to have extended even to Kieff, the
center of the Russian sugar business.
The newspaper, the Kievlanin, treats
M. Whites last diplomatic essays with
just as marked coldness as did the for
eign press.
The Kievlanin observes, rather
sharply, that M. Witte's. appeal to the
most favored nation clauses in Rus
sia's commercial treaties is of greater
theoretical than practical value, since
Russia has no commercial treaty with
England and all her most important
treaties viii soon expire Moreover.

The paper sees no sense in embroiI-

between the United States and Russia
for the sake of what he calls "a clique
of favored manufacturers"

of bounty on sugar as not corre-
spending to the facts of the case

Lose a Point.

The attachment for 100000 on

eager of the superior court. This is
big point against the brothers
Charles and Horace Hoadley of this
city They feared that the executors
would remove as much Of the estate
from this state as they could, and in
order to prevent such an occurrence
they had an attachment for ST., 100000
put on all the property in this state.
The defendants and heirs filed an OBJ

attachment was far in excess of the
amount of the estate in. which the
Hoadleys are interested. The court
evidently thought so too and dissolved
