CANADIAN TARIFF
WILL BE DISCUSSED
Minister Fielding to Have
Audience With Taft
Tomorrow.

W. 6. Fielding. the Canadian minister
of finance, will have an audience with
President Taft tomorrow upon the sub
iect Of the tariff relations between this
country and the Dominion This Will
be in continuation of the conference
which was held at Albany. n. Y. a
week ago.
II is taken for granted that Mr. Field
ing would not make the journey from
Ottawa to washington empty-handed
II is presumed that he is the bearer Of
some proposition from the Canadian
government which, il acceptable, VIII
make it possible for President Taft TO
include that country among those en-
titled to the minimum American tariff.
But no one here knows Just what he is
going to suggest, unless II Is Anbassa-
dor Bryce, who refuses TO discuss the
question.
The members OF the tariff board made
their report 10 the President some time
ago TO the effect that the Canadian
tariff Disseminated against the United
States, and since then they have taken
no part in the negotiations They are
therefore entirely in the dark as 10
what Mr. Fielding may be bringing
The suggestion rs made, however. that
Canada viii make concessions upon
few articles, enough to bring her within
the favored nation list, with the under
standing that President Taft. IN return,
will use his influence 10 secure the
negotiation and ratification of a recipro-
city treaty between the two countries.

ANNAPOLIS EXPECTS
AN EXTRA SESSION

ANNAPOLIS, Nd. March 25.-That
there is strong probability Of an
extra session Of the Maryland Legis-

Il is declared that the Democratic
majority has done little to redeem the
promises of the party platform, and
in the week Of the session that re-
mains. only a small part OF the work
before fl can be completed. especially
If the Republicans resort TO dilatOry
proceedings to defeat partisan meas
ures- It is probable they will do this
unless assured that there will be no
disfranchise amendment or unfair
change Of the election or registration
laws
Today was the last day in which.
under the law, bills can be introduced.
and the session viii close on Monday,
April T. Unless the majority accom-
pliShes more than now seems prob
able In the remaining period. the gov
ernOr VIII face the question of calling
an extra session or allowing definite
promises OF the platform 10 go IN
