L Our Ottawa Letter (Special correspondence of the N8w ERA) Ottawa,July 30th.- Politics are about the last subject that any sane man will volun- tarily tackle during tbe dog days, and the dog days at the capital this ear at any rate are living well up to their tratiitional oharaoter. Everybody that is anybody is out of town and those that are left to swel- ter in the city find life sufficiently weari- some without any unnecessary exertion, mental or phyaioal. While the majority of the Ministers are still on their holidays, and news around the Departments is very scarce, the great reading publio keeps up its demand for interesting items and the newspaper correspondent has to recognize and respond to the demand. AN EPOCH MAKING EVENT There is one item at any rate of great- est importance that will occupy all atten• tion during the next few weeks, viz: -the internatioual Conference, which will meet in Quebec within the oomiag month. At that meeting it is hoped some settlement will be arrived at upon a number of very vital questions, including trade relations between the British Er•pire and the linit- 68 States; the bonding privilege, the Alien labor law, defiring of the boundaries in the west, the Atlantic fisheries regulations, the Behring sea dispute, the preservatiou of the fisheries, and so on. If only one of these questions is settled to the satisfac- tion of all concerned the meeting will not have been convened in vain, but with such men as Lord Herschell, Sir Wilfrid Laur- ler, Sir Richard Cartwright, Sir Louis Davies, Sir James Winter, and the five American Statesmen, General Foster, Sen- ators Gray and Fairbanks, Nelson Dingley and John A. Kasson, there is the best rea- ron to look for at least a better understand- ing, iCnot a complete settlement, of every one of these matters. CREDIT TO THE GOVERNMENT Every lover of his kind welt rejoice in the improved feeling that has sprung up between the British Empire and the States, and which has simplified the situa- tion so greatly, but at the same time much more credit may justly be claimed for the persistent efforts which the Liberals out of office, and the Liberal Government in of- fice, have always pat forward to bring about a better state of feeling between the nations inhabiting the two halves of this continent. Irrespective cf party all true Canadians, yes, and all true Britiehers, nay, all true Anglo -.$axons, will hope and pray for the fullest success of the delibera- tions of this august gathering. YUItON TRANSPORTATION The last of the difficulties arising out of the Yukon transportation problem has not yet been heard, in fact the recent reports of the large sums of money coming out of the country as the result of this spring's clean up, will, in all probability, cause a repetition of last winter's rush and create the same necessities for energetic Govern- ment action. With the satisfaction which will result from learning of the success of many who went in to look for the precious metal, comes the more serious, in fact alarming announcement than the food sup- plies are running short. The population has tremendously increased since last win- ter and there are now at least thirty thous- and people scattered throughout the coun• try. These took in a certain amount of supplies but it will soon be exhausted, and though there may be plenty of gold dust to purchase more, the goods are not there and cannot be had for love or money. 7Hr: SENATE'S RESPONSIBILITY Railway facilities that were confidently expected have been blocked, the well con- sidered efforts of the Government, possess- ed as they were of authentic information of the probable outlook, have been rendered nugatory by the reckless antagonism of the blindly partisan Senate, and the only chan- nel through any quantity of supplies can now be got into the country is in the river steamers plying up the Yukon. While there is a big ficet of boats leaving port,the majority seem to be coming to grief en route and from the last reports it looks as if there is scarcely any possibility of get• ting in a sufficiency of food before the winter closes in. Much more has been learnt of the Teslin Lake route since the session closed, and g ever thin nes prove rove the correctness of Y the information in possession of the Gov- ernmit and the fairness of the arrange- ments that it was proposed to make with the contractors. Without exception those who have been up' there speak favorably of the route, and of the incalculable benefit the proposed railway would have been. It will be interesting to notice what Mr Fos- ter and Sir Charles Tupper have to say during their western trip about the Sen..te's action in throwing out the Yukon Railway Bill. TRADE WITH ENGLAND The efforts at present being made by the Department of Agrioulture to improve the facilities and simplify the routine in con- nection with the British market for Cana- dian produce cannot but be beneficial to our farmers and fruit growers. Not :inly in wheat, cheese,and the hardier fruits, but in poultry, butter, eggs, meats, and the perishable fruits, such as grapes, pears, , peaches andtomatoes,there is an enor- mous mous demand, if only the goods oan be placed upon the London market in good condition. The great advaatage already provided in the cold storage facilities and the renewed efforts for improved Atlantic transportation have done much, but the personal investigation now being made by the Hon. Sidney Fisher, Minister of Agri. culture, and Prof. Robertson, of the Exper- imental Farm, will undoubtedly imiirove the situation still further. This is the practical side of it, but, as in every other movement undertaken by our Government:for the Improvement of the inter -Imperial relations, the sentimental feature is of no slight importance, and the better feeling that will result from closer and more frequent business intercourse will not be without its effeots in the relation of Canada to the Motherland. A. FRUIT COMMISSIONER Further evidence that the Government appreciates the importance of keeping Canada well to the front in the competi- tion foe fruit supplies for the Mother oopn- try Or -shown by the appointment of Mr)A MoD. Allan, of Goderioh, to the position of Canadian Fruit Commissioner at the Paris Exposition in 1900. There is no one in Canada better qualified by inolination, in- formation and experience, and no one has done more in the past in the interests of the Frvit Growers of Canada, both at home and abroad. Canada's rank as a fruit pro- ducer is adyanoing yearly and the value of placing her claims properly before the world cannot be over estimate& This energetic policy abroad to the nat- ural outcome of the activity displayed at home in giving the beet poeeible assietanoe to all sections of the agricultural commun- ity, both by the Federal and Provincial authorities. Every year sees new develop- ments in the policy of scientific education which has its outcome in Experimental Farms, Illustration Stations, coarses of lectures by expert Agrioultnriata, etc. It is doubtful if any country has better fedi- hies for making the most of nature's boun- ties than this Canada of ours.
