STICKS TO FREE TRADE.
EnsIand's Ministers Fail to Agree to
Tariff Rates.

London, July 49, The resumption of
the imperial conference has not stimu-
lated confidence among the colonials
that a definite result will be secured.
Preferential trade was discussed yes
terday, but there was no evidence that
Australia and Canada could unite on
any practical scheme of commercial
union The British government can not
be expected to take hearty interest in
the business side of imperial federation
until the leading commemorative are
prepared to act together. Sir Wilfrid
Iaurier is striving to find the line of
least resistance within the range of eX-
listing tariff arrangements for grain and
wine. and makes effective use of Cob
den's treaty with France as a precedent
for convincing free traders that their
PRINCIPLES are not to be renounced. but
the results of the conference are likely
To prove of purely academic interest
owing to the lack of cooperation be-
tween Canada and Australia.
Chamberlain, IL 1 am correctly in
formed, virtually tells the premiers that
they must agree among themselves up
on a definite schedule of preferential
trade or time table for subsidized
steamship combination before the Brit
ish government can be drawn into Sc

Griggs of tie democratic congressional
committee is sill chasing the ;ssue''
for the campaign. and has gone to
New York to confer With Ben Gable,
who is home from Europe and Lewis
Nixon, who threw up the job as Tam
many boss. Before leaving Washing

would hold the tariff responsible for
the sale OF American manufactured
products cheaper abroad than at homeS
He has discovered that wire nails are
sold for s2.25 a keg at home. and sl.3o
abroad: that axle grease sells for s
cents pound here, and cents abroad
that washboards sell for So a dozen
mere and s1,7O in Europe, and alarm

The trouble with Griggs'
issue is that it has been frankly ad-

duced prices when they had a surplus

But we did not have large surplus

OBJECT TO kA,sER's SPEECH.
Polish Residents in Berlin to Ignore
Court Invitations.

Berlin. July 1a.-The leading mem
bers of the Polish arstocracy resident
in Berlin are quietly organizing with
the object of refusing all court invita-
tions on account of Emperor Williams
anti-Polish speech at Marienburg.
Prince Anton of the ancient house of
Radziwill is reputed to be at the head
OF the movement. He has long been a
favorite at court and formerly adjutant
of Emperor William. This news comes
from Polish journals and excites jubi-
lation; but so far as Prince RadZiwill is
concerned 1t is regarded as doubtful. as
he had heretofore considered the Polish
agitation as not likely to serve any
permanent interest of his peonle.
