There is no apprehension a4 to result and it is confidently ex- pected that Canada will receive the Payne-Aldrich - law. It is authorita- tively stated that the delegates * are clothed with authority "to negotiate for certain favors if they see fit to ask for them. The United States' position js: "That the extension of a large Mist of Canadian intermediate and special tarifl rates to France and thirteen 'most favored nations," is an undue distrimination against = the United States; that Canada should remove this discrimination by granting the United States the sanie 'most favored nation' treatment. While Canadu's exports to the United States under the Payne-Aldrich bill have increased, the decreased rates of duty will reduce the customs duties collected by nearly $1.

Canada's position ix : "That the extension of intermediate and special tariff rates to France a reciprocity treaty, therefore, non-discriminatory according to Ame: rican practice. That the granting of the same rates to thirteen other na- tions without any rec iproeal concession to unfortunate 'most favored nation' obligations imposed on Can: ada by old Pritish treaties. That their total trade is too. small for their tariff advantage to be considered an 'undue discrimination' against the United States. "That existing trade re- lations are vastly in favor of the Uni- ted® States, which annually sells Can ada RI80,000 000 worth of goods and buys only #92 000,000 worth, while the American tariff is approximately twice as high as the Canadian. This is the basis for the 'friendly negotiations' hy which President Taft in his December message to congress, said other na- tions would be urged to eliminate dis- criminations from their law and prac. tive.' The problem for the Americans is to convince the Canadians that they do unduly - discriminate and to correct it by giving the United States as low rates as France and the rest.

Police Con- stable James Craig made the arrest, jand the boys will appear before Mag: istrate Farrell, in the juvenile court, on Tuesday morning. One lad is fil- teen years of 'age, and lives on Lower Queen 'street. The other lad is sixteen years of age, and up to a short time ago, had Rs living on Collingwood street. 'Of late he has been living with the other lad. The lads have confessed to having had a hand in several thefts. On Sunday night a turkey was stolen from the store of the Domision Fish company, on Brock street, and the boys in custody admit having taken the bird: A week ago the theft of sixty-five cents was reported from! Davies' meat market, on Princess street, and to this theft the boys have also pleaded guilty. From Fenwick, Hendry & Co's wholesale, Ontario street, was stolen & quantity of to bacco and some canned goods. The boys also admit having been respgh-, sible for this theft. The Standard office also suffered as a result of the youthful burglars, for they have admitted stealing" quantities of lead from the rear of the office, which they sold to local junk dealers, Constable Craig is at work on the cave, and it is altogether likely that several other thefts will be traced to their door, It is believed that there are some other lads mixed up in the affair, and more arrests will likely be made. The younger lad has made a full confession to the police, hut the other lad, while admitting that he hat a hand in the robberies, {o put the most of she blame on other fellow. Phere has been a great deal of petty the the ques- forth every effort possible to find guilty parties. The two lads in tion were under suspicion, They have been (hgaged in selling gpapers on . the streets; and when Constable Craig ap proached them, near the Kingston and Pembroke station, Monday afternoon, he elder of the two ran away. The other admitted having had a hand in the theft, when questioned, and impli cated his chum. It was not long be fore the other lad was loeated, and plated under arrest. The elder tad, #0 it appears, has heen living with the other boy, at his home, on Queen street, and one of the ads told th police that they would find the stole, turkey hidden in a box under the ta ble. Une of the boys, accompanied Constable "Harry" Filson to the house to locate the turkey. The case is rather an unfortunate one, and it is understood that the boys have not been attending school. ine has been selling papers all the time. His mother is a widow. . The lad who made the confession says that they secured ap entrance to the Bominion Fish company's store by cess street, and then elimbing up ou the roofs of some of the buildings and then getting in through a window. He says that they went into the store about seven o'clock on Sunday even- ing. They searched for money, but could not find any. Some few weeks ago MeFedridge's store; Bagot street, was entesed and an electric fan was stolen, and about the same time the shop of A. Johnson, also on Bagot street, was robbed of a hammer and revolver. The boys deny that they stole these articles, but one says that they can give some information about the theft. SNATCHED HER PURSE.

The Railways are T Misrepresenting the Facts. Ottawa, March 7.---The story, ating from Montreal to the effect that train service is seri ously hampered by an order of the railway - commission; limiting te miles gn hour, the ings where gecidents have since 1900, is hardly according to the facts. A member of the railway mission, to-day, explained that eman speed at level cross the order of the commission, but by sub-seetions 3 and 4 of section 13, chapter 32 of the amended railway act which was assented to on May 1909. "The railways would have people get the notion that the com mission is causing the trains to be late," said the commissioner; "this is not true. The railway act sets the speed at level populated districts such as towns, vil- lages, efc., at ten miles an hour, and the following sub-section deals with speed at crossings where accidents have occurred. This requires that the | | railways shall notify the eommission | of the place of 'accident and that the commission shall examine the crossing | and if any safety precautions are ne; cessary they shall say what is to be done. It remove the ten-mile regulation with-| out causing any changes. However, some of the railways are not reporting | these cases to the commission, and, , therefore, must abide by the ten-mile| regulation. They want the law amend- i ed and by misrepresenting the facts they hope to gain the support of th public.
