NO TARIFF TERMS
HOPES IN CANADA.
Conference May Mark Begin
Ring of Ncg0tiatiOns.

ottawa. March S.-The final conference
between the American and Canadian COM
missioners was held this evening and
Messrs Emery and Pepper will leave for
washington Tomorrow. No agreement was
Ttached as a result of the meetings hut
the door TO mutually acceptable under
Standing has not been finally closed and it
cannot be said that the visit Of the Ameri-
can commissioners 10 Ottawa has been
without result
The view in Canada is that the visit Of
the American representatives, at Ottawa IS
IL itself long step toward better com
mercial relations between Canada and the
United States. Mcssrs. Emery and Pepper
are looked upon as envoys of a tariff peace.
and ii IS believed thar the eventual result
Of their visit will be ire end of fiscal hos
ti'ities which have continued steadily be
tween Canada and lhe rrited States since
the seventies.
The conferences have been marked b.
frankness and friendliness on both sides.
Fundamental differences in the laws and
positions of the two countries have been
the s'rmbinp block in trying to reach
middle ground The United States tariff
law is framed with no opportunity fer
fleNibility.N The best that can be given is
the minimum tariff which the Canadian
government regards as the normal Amer
lean tariff while the maximum is looked
upon as special war measure. The Cana
dian general rate is regarded here as cor
responding with the American minimum,
while the Canadian intermediate. a part of
which France and some other countries
enjoy is regarded as a provision for spe-
cal reciprocity arrangements Holding this
view. the Canadian government has felt
compelled 10 insist that the French treaty
does not constitute an undue disCrimina-
ton" against the United States. but that
if the United States wants to obtain the
advantages of Canada's reciprocity sched-
ules. ii must be prepared 10 give some
thing in return. For these reasons Canada
has been unable to accede to the propose!
from Washington that in return for the
minimum American scales Canada should
give the United States the benefit Of The
Franco-Canadian treaty rates
The American commissioners 90 hack
with the assurance of the Canadian govern
ment that there is no intention 10 enact
legislation which viii restrict the export Of
pulp wood TO the United States.
1t is thought that there will be further
negotiations between Ottawa and Wash
ngton before the maximum provisions go
into effect the last day Of this month.
Even If these are not completed, il is re
ported that President Taft will he able to
postpone the application. of the maximum
tariff rate for q time and thus avert
tariff war II is expected that this course
will he follow ed. and that the conferences
just ended will mark only the beginning
OF negotiations.

Investigation.

I,lGin. Ill, March Sd. :. Pearsall a
member Of the Elgin Board of Trade. to-
day denied that the plan to investigate
high prices Of living had anything TO do
with the action Of the Elgin board in re-

Butter prices" said Mr.. PearsalI had
become so high that the average citizen
was unable to buy butter, and this class
Of buyers turned TO the purchase Of oleo-
margarine. High prices created q surplus
in the butter supply, which had to be sold.
The only way 70 sell it was TO lower the
price When the board reduced the cost
from Sc cents to 90 cents pound the
commodity again came within reach Of the

DOUBT BOND ISSUE.
Reclamation Bill May Not BE
Fdr0rabIy Reported.
ITrom The Tribune Bureau

Washington, March S.-There is serious
question in the minds of several influential
members of the Ways and Means Commit
tee regarding the advisablity of a favora
BILE report on the bill passed by the Senate
to authorize an issue OF $3000O010 in Ger
tificatcs of Indebtedness for reclamation
purposes. Representative Mondell. ot
Wyoming. appeared before the committee
to-day in advocacy OF the bill. The com
mlttee held a brief session, but came to no
conclusion.
The committee has before ii some reports
from reclamation engineers. which say that
there is enough money available for the
projects already under construction. These
statements are not borne out by the Pres-
dents message on conservation nor by
Secretary Balliuger. They declared tina t
the greatest difficulty confronting the gov
eminent is that too many projects have
been undertaken in view of the available
funds. which are inadequate to complete
these projects within a reasonable time.

The Old EnaIish Prize Rina.

In the latter days of the English
prize ring innumerable expedients had
to be devised to bring off a fight A
favorite plan was to pitch the ring on
the borders OF two counties, so that
the question of magsterial jurisdiction
might be rendered difficult Another
plan was to charter steamboat and
proceed down the Thames to some
lonely police forsaken spot in the
marshes OF Essex. For the memorable
contest between Sayers and Heenan in
1860 special train was run from Lon
don bridge to secret destination.
But the passengers, who comprised
members Of parliament, peers, pick

said, q few bishops. cheerfully took

Culinary Mysteries That Bewildsred
an Eheiishwoman.
One moment we We're eating ducks
whites indicated that their age was
unimpeachable; the next we We're grap-
pling with sea weeds, macaroni and
the slippery sharks fms that eluded
our clumslly manipulated sticks. Now
we tackled-not without fear-un-
known meats and vegetables cooked In
sugar, fresh shrimps, mushrooms from
Mongolia, young bamboo sprouts, pi-
geons' eggs and a hundred different
foreign tasting messes. Then clean
plates were given TO us. and bowls OF
sickly pink sirup, sweet potato ana
Indian corn cakes of dusky hue were
set before each one. These were only
crevice flllers and concluded the first
and lighter portion of the repast. Now
came the real substantial meal, where
in every dish had an accompaniment
Of smaller ones, containing gravies,
etc, in which to dip the morsel taken
from the central bowl.
There was stewed duck cooked with
out salt, roast sucking pig, forcemeat
balls and chicken; there Were soups Of
birds nest, of mushroom, of vegetables
and of sea slugs. There was grilled
fresh water fish, which, according to
custom, was helped from the top side
only, for the Chinese remembers his
servant. And, finally, at the conclu-
sion the inevitable small bowl of rice
and rice water was set before each
person.
After some three hours, with feel
ing of thankfnlness that all was over,
pipes, cigarettes and tea were served,
and 1t seemed to me that the delicious
aroma which rose from the latter
soothed our senses and almost dis
PEELED the antipathy that had been
growing on us for all things Chinese.
