Joint HIGH NAY
MEET IN SUMMER
Parliament and Congress Are in
the Way Of an Earlier
Session.
BY w. W.. Jermane.

Washington, Jan. 11.-As soon as it
can be prepared, the government will
publish the correspondence which has
recently taken place between Senator
Fairbanks and Sir Wilfred Laurier re-
1ating to the RECOMMENDING of the joint
high commission. Meanwhile it is diff
tfcult to learn definitely what that cor
respondence contains. | am authorized
to say, however, that there is no war
rant in it for the conclusion SO freely
drawn by the. eastern press that Sir
Wilfred has taken ground against re-
convening and that his letters will
show that Canada does not desire to
enter upon negotiations looking to the
settlement of the several questions in
dispute between the two countries.
The Canadian parliament is about to
sit and that will max it impossible
for the Canadian members Of the COM
mission who are members Of that body
to leave their work and come to
Washington. For like reasons it will be
euite impossible for the American
members of the commission who are
members of congress to go to Ottawa
until after congress adjourns in March.
correspondence, however, that will for
IBID meeting of the commission at
some time next summer, perhaps in
Ottawa, for parliament will probably sit
until fall.
As to whether reciprocity will be one
of the subjects to be discussed when the
commission meets, nothing is at present
known.

100000 MEN IN

New York Charities Overwhelmed

New York Sun Special Service.
Washington, Jan. 11.-Commissione
General Sargent of the bureau of immi-
grafton has received a 1letter from, a
prominent New York philanthropist,
whose name he cannot disclose, in which
the metropolis is given. The latter says
New York s proportion Of the unem-
p1oyed is the largest in the country, that
100000 idle men are in the city now, or
40 per cent more than last year.
Fifty thousand children go to school
breakfastless, which means idle faith
ers,' the letter declares. $50 over
whelmed is the department of charities
with tens of thousands Of applications
self unable to cope with the situation.
In short, the metropolis this winter is
facing problem with regard to the I'M
employed, such as has never been known
in past years.
"The cause Of this state of affairs is
Of less moment now than the immediate
problem Of how to deal with the multi
tudes of the unemployed. Nor has the
question here to do with ultimate relief,
ing immigration and scattering immi-
grants.
The immediate question then is:
What can be done with the great army
Of unemployed at once9 This question
eliminates the unwilling and the unable,
whom we always have with us, giving
only the able and willing-the honest
How are we to give practical relief to
| these?''
| Mr.. Sargent considers the letter
strong evidence that his plans for break.
ing up the alien colonies in the large
| cities should be carried out.

States by Emperor William of Germany
and erected in the arsenal grounds near
