THE Yankees have been detected in another of those sharp practices that have made them notorious as political and national tricksters. Not having a sufficiently strong case in the Behring Seaarbitration, certain American offi- cials having the afi'air in hand thought to make their position better 'by snb- mitting false evidence and wrong trans- lations of Russian documents in the case presented by the United States Being detected in the trickery the American arbitrate: s have meekl} withdrawn the documents objected to, but they have not witl 1611a“ 11 the argu- ments founded on the forgeries.

It was by re- sorting to a similar trick that Canada lost What is now the greater portion of the State of Maine. In the negotia- tions which ended in the Ashburton treaty the Americans piesented a false map of that territory. In that case their trickery succeeded. but in the ne- gotiations now going on in Paris the probabilities are Dthat they will fail mis- erably in establishing the g1eed3 claims they took at- the beginning. THE Paris Cocarde has renewed its campaign against Lord Duli'erin, Bri- tish ambassador to France. In an ediâ€" torial Tuesday it contends that he misuses the diplomatic privileges en- joyed by him there to plot against the interests of France. He is charged with giving financial support to the triple alliance and its agents, with pleading in secret the cause of Germany and With endeavoring to make trouble with the Russian and French govern- ments. He has not hesitated, says the writer, to carry his intrigues into the anti-chamber of the Elysee. Through- out the crisis of the last few days, the per adds, his conduct has been so flagrantly hostile to France that his recall should be demanded, fofihe has played the part of a veritable cabinet wrecker in order that no statesman likely to please Russia might be called to power.

The liberal provisions made for the pro- per representation of Canada. at the World’s Columbian Exposition will, I doubt not, enable this country to make a. worthy ex- hibit of her resources and progress among the nations of the worldr The treaty of commerce which was ne 0- tiated with France on behalf of Canada been laid before - you, together with the correspondence which passed during the negotiations, but owing to the late period of the session at which the treaty was re- ceived and the pendency of communica- tions as to its bearing in respect of most favored nation treatment and the interpre- tation of certain of its clauses. my Gov- ernment has thought it advisable to post- pone for the present its ratification by Pafliament. The assembly at Paris of the Behring See arbitration tribunal gives reason to hope that the difi'erences which have existed between the Government of the United States and the Government of the Dominion are approaching a. satisfactory adjustment, while the nomination of the Prime Minister of Canada. as one of the arbitrators affords a. guarantee that the interests of our sealers win improperly though not unduly safe- In relieving you from attendance in Par- liament for this year I congratulate you upon the energy and promptitude with which 'you have disposed of the duties of the session just ended. _ OTTAWA, Ont-,, April 3. -â€"At 3 p.m. Satur- day His Excellency, the Governor-General, proceeded in state to the chamber of the Senate in the Parliament building and took his seat upon the throne. and closed the the third session of the seventh Parliament of Canasta. with the following speech : Honorable Gentlemen of the Senate: Gentlemen office House of Commons: In regard to the proposed Essex Canal Hon. Mr. Haggart made the following statement : "There is a great deal to be said in favor of the scheme, but the princi- pal thing in its favor is the saving of 60 miles. I do not attach much importance to the necessity of having the waterway entirely in our own waters,because we have just as much right to the navigation of the Detroit river as the Americans themselves, and in case of any difficulty it would be as easy to stop navigation %bove ng ole islandas at Detroit river. *rom a mili afy point of View, perhaps, the Minister of Militia will be able to speak on that subject better than 1 can. However, I promise to have a survey made by our numerous stafi on the canals. Without entailing any ex- tra expense upon the country, I will try and get an accurate account of what the oropesed canal would cost.” OTTAWA, April 3.â€"Very little was done in the House last week. Prorogation oc. curred on Saturday and the time of the House for the receeding days was occupied in rushing the usiness preparatory to that event. A momentary flurry was caused on Thurs- day about midday by the starting of a rumor that Sir John Thompson had been struck by paralysis in Paris. The rumor could not for some time be trsced to any reliable source, but was finally found to have orig- inated, in a. despatch from Toronto in the Montreal 'Witness. Enquiry quickly show- ed that there was not the slightest founda- tion for the rumor, as cable messages signed by Sir John were received shortly after the rumor started. On Monday, Hon. Mr. Foster announced that owing to the lateness of the session several Government. bills would have to be dropped, and among them the bill to amend the N orth-west Territories Act, in connec- tion with which the member for N orth Sim- coe had decided to bring up the dual langu. On motion to adjourn Mr. Laurie! asked whether the leader of the House was pre- pared now to say anything definite with re gard to the French treaty. Mr. Foster stated that when he had spoken on the French treaty some two weeks ago he stated that he was not prepared to ask Parliament to approve the treaty at present. Since then tiations have been going on with r d m some of the clauses on which the overnnmnt had some doubt. One of these was with regard to fish. In the French treaty the words “and natural” were used, and he had interpreted this to mean fish in their natural condition; but it appeared that the translation from the French into the English was not very good, and that the treaty did not really mean that it was only fish in their natural state, but that canned lobsters and canned salmon came in under the minimum tarlfi'. With regard to soap there had also been a little misunder- standing, as the treaty seemed to cover common soaps, while this Government only intended that it should apply to castile soap. With regard to the most favored na- tion clauses, there were still some pints not quite settled, and he closed by at ing that the treaty would be left over till next veer for consideration. age question.

T. of T. hall which was packed to doors with a very sympathic and appreciat- ive audience. The District Councillor oc- cupied the chair. After Rev. Mr. Clarke opened with prayer addresses were delivered by the following gentlemen,â€"Mr. F. Out- rum, Port. Hope ; Mr. Lent, Cobourg ; Rev. Clarke, Rev. Bloodsworth, Rev. Young, of Millbrook ; inters ersed with recitation: by Miss Robinson, obourg ; Mr. A. Skitch. Campbellford; a musical selection by Miss Dempster of Cobourg ; and by congregational singing. A {rery noticeable feature of the sessions was the number of ladies present. It was admitted to be the largest most enthusiastic and best district council ever held. Cer- tainly the Millbrook brethren had done their share to make the meeting a. success, and too great praise cannot be given for their hospitality. During the afternoon the doors were thrown open to the public, many whom were interest-ed spectators of the proceedings. The discussions took a. wide range and at times grew rather heated, yet everything came out all right, nobody being hurt, and every- one feeling better for having had an oppor- tunity of working oil: his pent; up feelingu. (‘2) A district percepita of one cent perquart- er, should be levied for district purposes. (3) a number of places were especially selected as points for attack or places that should be organized. (4) More frequent public meet- ings or the throwing open of the door to the public each evening after the regular busi- ness was strongly advised. Occasional church parades were also recomended in many cases, (5) Missionary work by council was urged. (6) Cadet Corps were warmly commended and every council urged to or- ganize this branch it being felt to be the great hope of our cause to thoroughly educate the young in sound temperance principles, in the effects of alcohol and nercotic poisons and in the needs of a physically sound and well developed body. (7) The white cross or social purity work was urge-d on the at- tention of each council and they were asked to get every member to sign the social purity pled e and to circulate litoreture bearing on t e subject. (8) Politically our members were urged to greater independence. â€"to throw ofi‘ the shacales of partyism and be prepared to support only candidate who are known and avowed prohibitionists for any and all public offices.
