Exeter Advocate, 1899-6-1, Page 7QUEBEC CONFERENCE. Prospect of High COMMission Reassembling in August. SIR CHAS, TUPPER'S PROPOSAL To Expedites the Work, of the SeSSlee Would Have the Itedlstribution Eill Withdrawn -Premier Opposed to Making Any Chue in riati ncizaroing what important Dfeasure. Ottawa, May 29. -On Saturday io the House, Sir Henri ;rely introduced a bill ejecting the inspection of petroleum and naphtha, and eine to amend the Gen- eral Inspection Aot with easpect to tins inspection of wbeat.

Sir Charles Tupper lieouglit up the question a the AMerleall CellIMISSIOILIe a4 the Mate - Malt made by the Filmdom this previatie by that the reeeeeniblina Of the cola - mission depended, upun the Alaskan boundary question being remoVed frein Jo arena of discuseion by the diplomatic action of the two GeveraMents removed the diffloulty be had felt In talking of the matter. Freee the niceptiou a this flues., tion be (Sir Cbarles) bad treettel it as one above and beyond party. He read With great eatisfeatien that the peesee eOrefeleeiell assembled at The Hague htie practically agreed to Si' Julian Faunce„ tote's proposal of a board of international arbitretion for the settleMent of queettons ot controversy between natioias, and as the United States and Greet Britaiu were parties to the peaeo conference, it would be meet in:treasonable to suppose they would not agree to elibmit the Alaska boundary question to asbitration. He stemmed, therefore, that at Ode moment We could look hopefully ferWard to the reassembling of the Anglo-AmerIcan *Zonal:glad= on the 2nd a August. Sir Charles thou dealt 'with an article in The NOW York Sun of May 14, whiob stated that the difficulty with respect to the Anglo-American conference ressehing a satisfactory conclusion was with the Con- servative party, width embarrasses the Government in dealing with these ques- tions. Sir Charles said that all he (Sir Charles) had stated in the Houses or out of it, was quite at variance with that statemeut. For Instance, there was the statement that Canada ocoupie:s the position which rendered her absolutely independent of the 'United States; then, although it is most desirable these questions shoula bo settled on a fair and satisfactory basis, nob, fortunately for us, is our Deaden that we are not corapolled to make any Undue concessions to our great neighbors to the south. That statement was tho strongest card the commissioners could Islay. Then there was the power vthich Parliament bad already given the Gov- ernment to impose an export duty on pulp wood, logs and nickel matte. Ile bad bold that by exercising that power We could out off the supply from whit% the .Americans manufacture a largo part of the paper used in the world, and transfer its manufacture to Canada, where we had an enormous advantage by reason of our great water power and transportation facilities, AS to mining rights, Canada 'was in the position that it was of more importance for Americans to obtain min- ing privileges in Canada than for Cana- dians to bave sinilar privileges in the United States, so that it was in the interests of the United States to assimil- ate the mining laws of the two countries so as to make their privileges common. We had, also, the advantage of practically controlling the supply of nickel. There- fore, taking all these questions into consideration, it would be seen that the attitude of the Conservative party upon theta would not only not interfere with the British commissioners during the negotiations, but was calculated to strengthen their hands when the negotia- tions should be resumed. , This being the case, his object in men- tioning these matters was that he pro- posed to meet the leader of the Govern - anent with a flag of truce, to suggest means by which Sir Wilfrid would be left more free to proceed with the work of the commission, which he regarded as no =ere party question. He would suggest that, under the circumstances, Sir Wilfrid should withdraw the redistribution bill, asave it published for the benefit of the country, and allow the business of the :session to be promptly closed by the dis- posina of all the other questions now before the House, in order that the Gov- ernment might give the necessary rare and attention to the work of the commis- -don, and furnish themselves with the snost minute information to strengthen the case with which they were charged. However, he would not expect the leader .of the House to reply at once. In conolusion, Sir Charles observed he was sure the leader of the Government would vindicate him from the charge in The New York Sun that the modus vivendi proposed by the United States 'would have been accepted by the British oommissioners but for the fear of the hostility of the Conservative party, because, when Sir Wilfrid consulted him in reference to what Canada proposed, he tad given him assurance of hearty sup- port in the attitude the Government had assumed. He hoped, too, the Government would receive his suggestion in the spirit in which it was offered, and give it the `consideration to whioh it was clearly sentitled. Sir Wilfrid Laurier's Statement. Sir Wilfrid Laurier -Mr. Speaker, 'we . on this side of the House may be par- doned, I am sure, for some feeling of satisfaction at the language just spoken by my hon. friend (Sir Charles Tupper). The wisdom of the course which I took in the month of February, instead of breaking suddenly the negotiations of ;the Anglo-American comnsission, has been fully vindicateby what the hon. gentleman has just said. If I were allowed to refer to a past debate I might _mall the attention of the House to the fact that in the debate on the address my bonfriend took a very different position, and stated that the moment we could not oome to an agreement with our fellow- ecommissioners representing the United ! ,States we should have broken negotia- tions and come horna We thought that this course was not the course which should, be followed under the eiroura- stances. Sir Charles Tupper -But that is prao- tically what you did, judging from your statements in the House oo Friday. You said you would not go on with the rage- tiatious until the other questions were removed, Sir Wilfrid Laurier--"Wheu we left we referred the question of the Alaska boundary to our respective Governments, and stated then to the world that it would be useless to Teassendele uniees this matter had been disposed of I stated at the time to my hon. frena and to the House on more than one ceeasion that the matter had been referred to the respective Governments, American and British, and that we were to reassemble on the 2nd of August. But, what would have been the use of reassembling on the:end of August er ens" ether thee if the very nuestions which we bad not been able to agree on were then to be found in the same posi- tion as before? We would not proceed with the other matters needing consideration, but we hopee that when we assembled again oa the 2n4 of August the British and the American Government% by their respeo- tive autborities, would have been able to perform It we bad not been able to perform; that is to say, settle the ques- tion of the ,Alaskan boundary. We thought that, of al/ the measures that had been referred to us, that was the most important. We might have gone on With some other questions, but, penditig that, We thought it would not be advis. able in the beat interests of Quacks to proceed with other questione. If that question could have been settled one way or the ether, we could have proceeded with ether questions, givipg more • or zweivieg more, as the question was settled one way Pr the other. There were only two ways of settlieg it. One Was by eieneeromise. We did not agree as to the locatioo of the boundary 'which has been defined by' the treaty of 1825 between Great Beitaiu And Russia We, representing Great Bre, thin, and the Americans, representing Russia, did not agree as to the location Of the boundary on the ground. We claimed that the boundary passed at one point, • 'while the Americans contended that It passed at another. If we could compromise by giving and taking, I say without hesitation, the romper in whioli we would settle it by giving more and aceepting less would he of material aid in the solution of other questions before us, either one way or the other. BM we mild not come to an understanding upon that question, and there was nothing to do but to refer it to arbitration. We Call - Bet, of comae, force our fellow-commisSiellera to come to ail understanding with us, But tbere is one thing, that Must be doe -if We eallhet come to an under- standing, the avatter should be referred to arbitration. When it is referred to arbitration, it is then out of tho way, and we can resume our sitting and go en with the other questions. 1 shall regret very lnuolA if the utitter bus to be referred to arbitration, instead of our reaching a compromise. I should prefer to have a fair and honorable compromise, by which both parties would relinquish claims in order to have a settlement. Having taken thee ground, I may pro- ceed to say that if this matter of the Alaskan boundary Is removed from the questions entrusted to the commission, and if we resume our negotiations upon matters still remaining over, and there are some of groat moment, I say hankies that I do not expect that we can settle them all perhaps as I would like them to be settled myself, to the extreme limit of our rights and pretensions; out I bave hopes that we can settle tbe most, if not all. of those questions, in an honorable and satisfactory manner to both coun- tries. I do not expeot that we can get all that we aro contending for, but I ()spout that WO oar: make an honorable sett:o- n:lent, such a settlement as will intensify the good feeling whites now prevails be- tween Great Britain and the United States. Now I can acquit my hen, friend alto- gether from the aspersions made upon him by the editor of The Sun, I can say that anything he has done or has not done had nothing to do with the non- success of the negotiations. But I must take exception'at all events, to the sug- gestion which he made to us. I do not believe that either in the future or in the past any policy of retaliation towards the United States would have any effect or will have any effect in settling our diffi- culties with them. But I am quite as much in earnest as my hon. friend him- self m this respect, that we must stand upon our rights and upon our dignity, but standing upon our rights and upon our dignity does not call upon us to enter upon a polioy of hostility to the 'United States. Even though the United States sometimes try our patience very much, even though they sometimes more than try our patience, still I think it would be the part of wisdom in us under such cir- cumstances to continue to be patient and not allow ourselves to be moved by any sentiment of irritation. If we resume our negotiations, as I believe we shall, I think we are in a fair wey of making a treaty which can be settled in a very few days. Now my hon. friend led up to a con- clusion for which I must say I was not prepared. He made these international negotiations a basis upon which to ask us to withdraw the redistribution bill. Well, the ground is a broad one for such a request. For the present 1 must say that I am not prepared to withdraw the redistribution bill. I am quite prepared to consider his suggestion. I owe to him, occupying the position he does in this House, I owe it to him to place the matter before my colleagues and before my party, and we will give it the best con- sideration. But if we are to spend the summer at Ottawa,.I do not think it will be in the legitimate discussion of the redistributive bill. Although I think the bill is drawn upon a fair basis, I do not pretend that all its details are perfect; I do not know that we may not be able to make some improvement in it, and to that end we will listen to the suggestions that are made to us. All this is a matter for consideration in the coinsnittee. But I say that the measure as it has been proposed is one which is fair in its ternis, and which ought to win the com- mendation of both sides of the House. I do not see why, If the measure should receive a fair criticism, it should not be disposed of in a few days. But the hon. gentleman bus made me a suggestion which, I repeat, coming from one having the authority which he has in this House, resting not only upon his official position, but upon his long experience and long service in Parliainent, a suggestion I intend for my part to treat with great respect, and I shall ask my friends as well to give it their best consideration. But more than this, I know my hon. friend does not expect me to say to day A FILIPINO REVIVAL. During Rainy Season They Will Give U. S.

May 29. -john Johnson and his two sons, Peter and John, farmers, on Saturday morning did not notice a through freight, westbound, until their horses were on the track. On seeing the train the father grabbed the lines from his youngest son and caused a delay. In an instant the train struck the wagon. The horses got free, but the occu- pants were thrown several rods. The father was instantly killed. The youngest boy and part of the wagon were carried over a quarter of a mile on the cow- catcher. The boy at last rolled off, fortunately on the outside of the rails, or he would have been killed. The eldest son cannot possiblyelive. The youngest eon, it is thought, will live. PEACE CONFERENCE. Not a Great Deal Was Done at The Hague Saturday. The Hague, May 29. -The sections of the committee on the laws of warfare, charged to deal with the subject of the Brussels conference of 1874, on Saturday studied articles 23 and 84, which deal with prisoners of war, and it was agreed to adopt the artioles with slight verbal amendments. The concert of the municipality ce The Hague in the eventreg was a brilliant affair. Arbitration Recommended. Minneapolis, May 29.-A good attend- ance marked the final session of the Presbyterian general assembly on Satur- day. An address to the international peace conference was adopted, recom- mending an international court of arbi- tration. The State clerk said he would' forward the address next week, with a similar one from the Alliance of Presby- terian Churches of the World, represent- ing millions of Christdans.

FRANK WITH THE JUDGE. - _ HOW a inenpoeleet Fixed nos own Term In Proson. Pietro Fernandee, one ef the InGSt "- pert pielspoelsets in the country, was re- eently convicted in New York of stealing a diamond pin frorn the necktie of a man, be met oa is street ear. When he was brought up for sentence i general seesions„ this conversation was bad between him and Recorder Goff; "1 base hero upon may desk," said the recorder, official records to show that you have ursed time in the prisons of serious states. I am told that you are the mese expert pielspoels.et known to the police," "Ws41," said the prisoner, "if what Yon say is true I'm not proud of such a repu- tation'. "You bare served terms in seven differ- ent states, baeoet you?" -me law does not compel a man to an- swer math questions as these if they tend to incriminate him," said Fernandez. "I certainly would not be here 110W arraigned for sentence if my counsel had taken my advice." "What was the advice you gave Min?" "Net to put ine on the witness stand to testify in my QW11 bebalf, but be did it, with the result of a conviction." "But in this case you stole a diamond pin from a man riding on is Third avenue car, You were certainly guilty of that crime?" said the recorder. "'Under the law I guess I was, but that rnau showed be was very ignorant by wearing a big, bulky noise be his tie that day. A enan ef wealth and iutelligence who hail been aceustereed to luxuries would never have worn such is sbowy stone in ids tie„ It Was the essence of Ige norance, know whatIlmtalkingithont, for I have unwed, in good gaiety in my time."

However, I think it would be is good thing for the CoMmuraty to get rid of you; res I will San- te!" yea' - "just Watt a minute, " Fold the prisoner. "I ant reit going to appeal to you for mer- cy.

It is now within your power to do se. While I do not appeal to you for mercy I do wish to say that I think the penalty prescribed by the legislature is just about double what it should be in a ease like labia, Five years in state prison, in my judgment, would be about the right penalty. Let us look at the facts of the CAS% Hero is a nian who violates all rules of decency by Willing out with an ugly looking diamond pin. He evidently was some cbeap clerk in au ease side store, and he throws right in the way of tho professional thief a temp- tation to steal the stone, simply for its commeroiel value and not for its beauty. Do you think it was proper for that man to wear that diamond pin loosely in his tie in that way?" "You evidently believe in socialism," said. the recorder. "No, I don't believe in socialism in the way that you have reference eb it," replied the prisoner, "but 1 do believe that Ilse years would bo about right in a case of this sort. Society would not be benefited any way if you imposed a sentence of ten years upon 1110. I. alone would be the only interested person." "Now, tell. rue, do you think that you could snake up your =lad to reform?" asked the recorder. "A very ridiculous proposition," an- swered the prisoner. "I wish to say right here, your honor, that only ono out of about 100 criminals who come here and tell you that they intend to reform ever do reform. I don't believe it's in me to reform, although such a thing is possible. I have known of stranger things than that. However, I wish to toll the truth." "I'll sentence you to state prison for a term of n.V0 years at hard labor," said the recorder, and tbe notorious pickpocket was hurried away to Sing Sing. CUBAN DUELS. ORO of the Features of Club Life In Havana. Every club in 'Havana has its fencing master, and every member learns to fence. The Cuban aristocrat considers fencing a part of his education. It is one of his pastimes. He believes that some day he FENCING AT A EIAVA NA CLUB, will have to fight a duel. Tbe younger men spend from two to three hours every day practicing with the foils. No wonder duels are so frequent! Indeed the custom of dueling is giving the American officials no end of trouble. It is a custom of such long standing that it will not be easily broken. Look sideways at a Cuban's fiancee, and you will receive a challenge, and, unlike duels in France, a duel in Cuba usually ends with a mortal wound.

So he got a $5 is day job pound- ing the piano in the back reem of Joe Haniesty's Pelee& saloon, He was. a pretty fair piano eleerp and earned his wages.

His gyrations tio- kied the two devils behind him to the limit. They roared out direetioes, and w hen the tenderfoot's movements seemed to slacken from weariness they put anoth- er pair of bullets through the floor closeto his feet, and he went on with renewed en- ergy. There were a number of men in the front, pare of the saloon who didn't like tho thing a little bit, but they kept out of it from motives of prudence. The tenderfoot played the waltz through and danced to it twice before bis tormentors grew weary of the fun and let up on him by walking up to the piano and bringing their paws down on the keys together. They had put away their guns. "'That'll do you, sis, said Freeman. 'I knowed you could danth, an you've proved it. You dant& like you were born to it. Your mother must have been a bai- ley danther, or else' - "Freeman was walking toward the front room with Pollock as he said this. "'1 thay, you,' called Tenderfoot Alger- non Montclair after him in a quiet tone of voice, and Freeman turned around to see what the key puncher wanted. As he did so he saw the tenderfoot standing with his back to the piano and a gun in each hand. There were two almost simultaneous re- ports, and both of Buck Freeman's arms were broken close to the shoulders. Chop Suey was quick on the trigger, and he had his two guns out before the tender- foot's pair belched forth a couple more flashes, then Pollock's twin guns fell to the floor like so much junk. Both of his arms were broken too. " You dirty dogth,' said the tenderfoot to the two helpless bullies as they stood and looked at him savagely with their shattered arms at their sides, and then he walked over to them and spat in their faces one after the other. Freeman gave a sudden reach out with his right boot as if to trip the tenderfoot, his idea probably being to get the piano player down and stamp the life out of him, but the tender- foot, whose mild blue eyes were now blaz- ing, was too quick He hopped back out of reach like a boxer, and with his right head gun he bored a hole fair and plump through Buck Freeman's forehead. Pol- lock begged for his life like a our, and the tenderfoot, after looking him over doubt- fully for a full mipute, gave it to him. The piano player surrendered himself to the night marshal and was looked up over- night in the calaboose. A coroner's jury was got together at 10 o'clock the next morning, and inside of exactly eight min- utes the verdict was reached that 'Buck Freeman had met a justifiable death at the hands of & tenderfoot, who is hereby acquitted.' The jury having been dis- solved, the members of it repaired to a room and formutated resolutions of thanks to the tenderfoot for havind wiped two hard citizens out of the town's population. When Joe Hardesty came back the next day and heard how his piano thumperhad lined up to meet an occasion, he gave Al- gernon Montclair $200 and a ticket up to the Colorado mining country, where the tendert oot wanted to go. -Tenderfeet haven't been toyed with much down here in Phenix sines that thing happened."
