ELECTIONS EFFECT ON CANADA.
Tariff for Germany and America Said to
Depend Upon Result.

London Jan 6-"The Morning Post to-day
has a long article which endeavors to point out
that the settlement of tariff relations with Cana
da will depend upon the result Of the general
election in Great Britain. It says:
The administration of Sir Wilfrid Laurier is
pledged TO the formulation of maximum and
q minimum tariff as a scientific substitute for
the chaos Of the present system. Germany ana
the United States will pay the maximum ana
Great Britain the minimum, but both Germany
and the United States will speedily negotiate for
reciprocal treatment The issue obviously IS
denendent on the election. If Mr. chamberlain
obtains a mandate to discuss preferential treat
nent with the colonies, neither Germany nor the
leges of the minimum preferential scale, no
matter what consideration they may offer If,
on the other hand Mr.. Chamberlain, by an over
wheIming majority. should fail to obtain such
mandate the United States and Germany VIII IN
the end obtain what they require.
Some of the members of the Laurler admln-
;stration and some of the newer corporations IN
Canada which helped the Liberal war chest are
distinctly pro-American, but neither the pro-
American politicians nor the pro-Amer1can COM
nariee da re set themselves in opposition to a

emotion, and was followed in the evening by her
mother, Mrs. Horner, who even more

her daughter. Doctors Heyen, Donahue and
Frank, of Northport We're examined I'm rapid

DR.. Simpson received the news of his indict-

said 'I not sorry. because 1t will afford
opportunity TO vindicate myself before
the world. All that really needs explanation is
the remarkable attitude of my wife and Mrs.
Horner Fancy my wife withholding $1,000 or
my money while am penniless and on trial for
my lifeI I would not press her for it, Something
has poisoned her against me. What that is VIII
be fully exposed at the trial. There Is not the
slightest doubt of complete vindication for me.
