Canadians Reply to the Commercial

AS TO A RECIPROCITY CONVENTION
Several such Affairs Have Profited

Special to The Journal.
Winnipeg. Man., May 29.-The invitation
of the Minneapolis Commercial club to
the board of trade to discuss reciprocal
trade relations was considered at coun-
ell of the board. While some members
favored the proposition the council gem
orally, before expressing opinion desired
TO get the views Of the Minneapolis club
as to subjects to be considered at a con-
vention and the general scope of matters
to be brought before it also as to when it
is proposed to hold the convention The
council thought it only proper that some
definite information should be placed be-
fore the general meeting of the full board
which must be. called to give final answer.
Prominent business men spoken to said
the Winnipeg board of trade had taken
part in three different reciprocity conven
lions called by St. Paul and Grand Forks
bodies From none, of them had anything
resulted. The situation was simply that
the Americans asked, the, Canadians what
they had to offer. To-day, with the turn
in affairs, Canadians were largely indiffer-
ent. They would, however, be quite pre-
pared as a business matter, to confer
with their American friends and seriously
consider any proposition that may be ad-
vanced which would make sfreer trade re-
lations on thoroughly equitable basis,
but only on such basis, ~. ..,.,-g

SYNOD IS THROUGH
All Important Business Was Dis
posed Of Before Adjournment.
REVISION or LARGER CATECHISM
1t Is Referred to a COmmittee-Lu-
Il, ther Seminary By-Aavvs-Ques-
ton of Church Union.


For six days the delegates to the trien-
NAL Norwegian Lutheran synod have Ia
bored and business has been so dispatched
that the gathering could adjourn, accord
ing to program, to-day, without any great
sacrifice. The final adjournment took
place this. afternoon, President Koren ex-
pressing the hope of seeing all at the
semi centennial celebration at DEBORAH
in 1903 IT, -
The morning devotional exercises were
conducted by Rev. J. A. Billie OF Elan
dreau, S. D. - The matter of the final re-
vision of the larger catechism was refer
red to committee consisting of President
Koren, the members of the theological
faculty at Luther seminary and the clergy
of the twin cities. The various congrega-
tons were urged to adopt this catechism
as soon as it should appear. -a5
It was discovered that the committee
for the revision of the bylaws of Luther
seminary had failed to submit them to
the members of the board faculty and as
the synod had no wish to ignore any one
the report was passed over until the next
meeting, the only recommendation adopted
being that the four theological professors
should act as president in rotation in the
order of their seniority at the institution
Mission Reports Adopted.
The reports of the foreign and home
mission committee, submitted this week,
were generally adopted. The church coun-
ell was empowered to appoint an agent to
solicit funds for the seamens missions
at New York and San Francisco.
Appeals were made to the members for
continued contributions for the Utah Nor
mon mission and the other home mission
work. u
While the synod has not placed itself
on record as favOring union with the
United Church and other Lutheran bodies
a resolution in favor Of continuing the
small private conferences was adopted
These conferences will be devoted to dis
cussion Of the obstacles to union. 1t was
stipulated that Professor F. A. Schmid
should be left Of any committee to confe,
with the Norwegian synod. In that body
he is regarded as the chief obstacle tc
the union which is desired by some and
recognized as desirable by all. f.
The question of creating the position Of
superintendent of parochial schools was
referred to the pastoral conference, if one
is held; if not, then to the next synod.

BY A CAR RIDE.
McHENRY COULDN'T GET OFF
A Jury Decides That He Is Entitled
to Some Financial Com
ISOLATION.

A jury has decided that the Street rail-:
way company must pay Joseph S. Nc
Henry for not letting him off the car when
he wanted to go. McfIenry boarded a
south bound car at Washington and First.
Before the car started he thought of a
package left on the sidewalk and started
to get Off The conductor demanded his
fare, but McHenry refused So the con-
ductor started the car. At the next
crossing McHenry gave one bell and the
conductor gave two. The bell play was
continued for six blocks until some one
else wanted to get off, when McHenry
made his escape, after which he lost no
time in bringing an action for damages.
