New Yon, Sept. 24.—A special to the Sun from Toronto says: At the meeting of the Commercial Union Club last night this letter, written to Erastus Wiman by Senator John Sherman, was read: Wasutxaton, Sept. 15. Mr. Erastus Wiman: Dear Sir—Your report of the 15th inclosing one from Mr. Goldwin Smithis received. The provisions of the McKinley bill no doubt do apply with some severity to Canada, but the bill is general in ite application to all countries, It is no doubt » high protective tariff and will test the policy of such a law. It is not espec- ijally aimed at Canada, but is general in ite terms. I do believe with a little moderation and forbearance on both sides of the line the feeling will become universal here that «pecial arrangements for reciprocity and trade should be entered into between the two countries, ‘There is no purpose to wage commercial war on the Dommion of Canada with a view to force annexation. Such a thought, I suppose, never entered the mind of a member of Congress. If there is any feel- ing here for annexation it grows out of the beliet that annexation would be better for the people of both countries and not from a wish to annex or conquer or persuade tho people of Canada to become a part of the United States.

Mr. McKinley Says the Tariff BU May Be Reported Tomorrow, REPUBLICAN MANAGERS TRY TO SETTLE THEIR DIFFERENCES TODAY—A MEETING OF TRE FULL CONFERENCE COMMITTEE CALLED—DsMOCRATS PROMISE NOT TO ODSTRUCT. The republican members of the conference on the tariff, who beve been at work since Saturday without the assistance of the demo- crats, have agreed $n all things in the bill ex- cept sugar and binding twine. It is hard for them to say themselves whether or not they havo made any prog- ress on these two items. Apparontly they | are as far apart as ver. About haifa hundred propositions for compromi¢e have been made and discussed to greater or Jess extent, but each has been rejected in turn and the matter still hangs. TALKING IT OVER TODAY. The majority conferees were ins ession until 12 o'clock today and notificd the democrats to meet thom at2 o'clock. It was the expectation when this call was issued that cverything would be settled by that time, and the purpose of the meeting was for final’ action on the ree port. It may be at this meeting au agreement will be reached, but members cannot see their way clear to it, WHERE THE TROUBLE 18, The trouble does not lic in the conference, but with members of the twohouses, The con- ferees would have no trouble in reaching an agreement on both the sugar and binding twine, but anything they propose to do ix threatened with opposition of republicans in one house or the other, The majority of the republicans in both Senate and House aro opposed to tree binding twine, but in both there aro a considerable minority who insist on free twine and threaten to fight for it. Certain republican members in the Honso aay they will never uccept a report that does not give free sugar up to 16, while on the other hand the Senate republicans refuse to go above 13, TNE REPUBLICANS’ DILEMMA. This leaves the conference committee be- tween the devil and the deepsea and they fcel the necessity of being either fire proof or expert swimmers, They must bring in their report pretty soon and itis important that a full agreement be reached and the report be complete. A divided report, presenting some disagreements, would open the way for a fight over the wio!e ques- ion again, Therefore the committee will endeavor to make # complete report. bringing the oppos- ing interests as close together as possible and then let the whole report stand togetber, TRUSTING TO PARTY DISCIPLINE. While many threats are being made it is not likely that the republicans would smash the whole bill because of certain items they did t like. Whatever the committee do they must force through as a lump proposition, and having done ail they can to bring about an agreement between: the opposing factions they will probably act for themselves finally, doing the best they can, and trust to party discipline for tho rest. WAYLAYING THE CONFEREES, On every haud there is the eviderice of anx- iety, which marks the closing of the contest, ‘The doors of the room of the finance commit- tee are besieged and no member of the conference puts hrs nose in one of tho corridors without beiag seized by somo one seeking information or having an argument to make. Nenators who are not on the conference are among those who hang about the corridors to waylay the conferees, : When the informal meeting of republican managers broke up today, Mr. McKinley said that he had every reason’ to believe that the report could be presented to the House to- morrow. DEMOCRATS WILL NOT OBSTRUCT, The republican members of the House com- mittee on rules also got together this morning and discussed the pending proposition to change the rules so ss to compel members to yote by fine or otherwise. It was suggested that some such provision might be necessary to compel the democratic members to attend the sessions of the House and thus ensure final action upon the tariff bill, But after talking over the matter and giving consideration to assurances given by certain Prominent democratic members that the final passage of the bil! would not be delayed or cb- structed by them it was decided that the action roposed would be premature, and that it would e well to wait until the minority had betrayed a purpose to refrain from voting before adopt- ing stringent measures of compulsion, THE BUTLE LER BUILDING, A Proposal to Buy It and the Ad- joining Ground, Mr. Lehibach, from the committee on public buildings and grounds, today reported a sub- stitnte bill for tho bill providing for the pur- chase of two lots in square 689, adjoining the Butler building, for the use of the Coast and Geodetic Surveys, The substitute bill greatly extonds the pur- chase taking in several other lots, including the Butler building. The bill authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to acquire by pur- chase or condemnation the lots and buildings thereon, numbcred 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16 of square 689, being located on B street, New Jersey avenue and South Capitol street. A good title is to be obtained and the entire cost is not to exceed £425,000, The amount of ground covered by the bill is 48.310 fect, The report draws attention to the crowded con- dition of the Richard's building, now used by the survey, for which $10,500 yearly rental is pnid, besides $6,000 per year for one-third of the Butler building. The report says the Butler building has been appraised by the Sec- retary of tho Treasury at 277,00, while the Richard's bailding is valued at $158,000. DISTRICKE GOVERNMENT, WILL WAIT TILL 1893.

Bruce, waited on the Commissioners yesterday and left anote addressed to Commissioner Douglass as follows: “Will you kindly wait in your office until 12:15 tomorrow—a committeo desires to see you in regard to the wishes of the people.” Tue Stan last night referred to the unex- pired terms of Rev.
