RUSSO.CANADIAN DISPUTE.
Comment on Settlement of Fisheries
Dispute Significant.

st. Petersburg. June 1.-The COM
ment here on the settlement of the
RussO-Canadian fishery dispute is very
significant. The agreement is welcomed
by the Russian press as evidence of the
increasing probability of an Anglo
Russian alliance. the papers pointing
out that public opinion in Great Brit
ain, France and Russia is becoming
more favorable. the war instead OF
proving an obstacle to an alliance
serving as one of the arguments In
its favor.
More significant still is a strong init
nation of the Novosti fOreshadowing
that commercial treaty between the
two countries will pave the way to
purely commercial reapproachment
The Novosti adds:
THE realization of this is easier, as
| both Russia and Great Britain are
bound by enormous commercial deal
| ings. 1t is true that Russia is further
| from Great Britain than France, but
she is nearer India, whose railroads
could be Joined with Russia's.''
| The paper makes the further poi,.t
that without such a commercial treaty
| any political agreement would be very
| frail.
Although it is impossible to ascertain
| Mt this time whether the question of
such a commercial treaty has actually
been taken up, the possibility of its be
| ing the next step in the program to-
ward Il political agreement arouses tn"
kecnest interest in diplomatic circles,
where it is considered fraught with
most far-reaching Importance.
The United States probably will be
the chief loser by such a treaty. Amer
| lea has already suffered from the diff
ferential duties levied against her in
retaliation for the imposition of coun-
| tervailing duty on Russian sugar, inn
ports of American agricultural ma :
| chinery, etc, which few years ago
to nothing. With tariff concessions,
Great Britain is bound to succeed to all
this trade with its big pOtentialities for
the future. The impression is growing
that Great Britain is playing Il hreWt!
game for big stakes commercially as
well as politically, and that while a
complete agreement will be mutually
adl antageous to both Russia and Great
Britain, ii will be at the expense of the
United States in both these directions.
The Chinese legation denies the re-
| port of an uprising in Mongolia, saying,
that recent advices show the people are
calm.

conference and all have assisted by
distributing copies of the circular tn
their members.
e. G. Preston, secretary of the Boston
Chamber of Commerce, told of the sue
cessful work of the committee of 100
appointed by that body to secure The
throughout the New England states in
favor of an arbitration treaty with
Great Britain. He dwelt upon the enor-
nous growth of the American trade in
the past five years, especially in the
export of manufactured goods. as one
Of the reasons why the nation could
not afford to go to- war.
A Foster Higgins of the New York
Chamber of Commerce, said that while
that body had taken no specific action
on the subject of arbitration he as
sured the conference that such action
would be taken at an early date.
Samuel B. Capen of the Boston Mer-
chants Association, believed that it is
time that commercial interests Joined
with the forces of religion and philan-
thropy to bring about the reign of peace
and good will among men.
A. 3. Farquhar of the National Asso-
citation of Manufacturers, spoke strong
ly against further was preparations.
Among other things he said were: But
the worst of these war preparations is
not their cost, though $3.50, 900, 900 a year
by a country needing no such defence
is no small sum to squander, nor even
the worthlessness of the product when
procured; it is the evidence they give
that our protestations of peaceful dis
position are not to be taken at face
value.
by cutting down navy, army and
fertilization expenses the country could
better develop it's resources and dis
charge it's debts and at the same time
give evidence of its intentions towards
all the world while proving that it does
not mostly favor international arbi-
tration, but trusts to it,"
