PRACTICAL ending of our meeting
Tho only end likely to be achieved at this really
o+abre meeting is one which is peculiarly inter-
esting TO the United States and Canada. fhe AS

~. canadian Premier; Sir Robert Bond, the
Premier of Newfoundland. and Mr.. Chamberlain
intend to thresh their long standing dlnerences

that a conclusion will be reached regarding the
Rond- Blaine convention. Newfoundland is deter
