He Favors Canadian Independence and Av- nexzation Under Certain Conditions. Ex-Premier Honore Mercier of Quebec and J.C. Langelier, Inte assistant registrar of the province of Quebec, arrived in Wasbington this morning and are at the Riggs. Edward Farrar, a prominent pro-annexationist of To- ronto, 16 also here, but not in company with Mesers. Mercier and Langelier. Mr. Mercier informed Stam reporter that he was visiting Washington on a pleasure tour merely, and that annexation or other political measures had nothing to do with bis presence at the capital, In response toa request for his views upon annexation Mr. Mercier said: “Lean for the province of Quebec alone, for Chave no sutheatic knowledge as to the sentiment of the rest of the country. There is with usa strong feeling for annexe- tion under certain conditions. The dominating sentiment, however, is for cals “Saga from England and complete Cai independ- ence. “While there are many strong arguments in favor of annexation our independence comes first. It is, in fact, easier to secure independ- ence than Xnnexation. The United States is, of course, powerful enough to swallow us, but is, too generoua to do so. Annexation must be conducted by treaty and now England would conduct the negotiations. England would necessarily look after England's interests first, but were we independent we could negotiate our own terms.” “Do you think that England would oppose your independence?” “No; Ido not. I believe that if Canada should ark England to be absolved from crown control our request would be granted. Canada ina great country, well worthy and qualified to care for iteelf alone, Once our independence is crined we would then the advisa- bility of anion with the United States. “During my recent visit in England I talked with many Englishmen upon the question of our independence. The general sentiment of the liberal party was that we should have it. Many conservatives, too, expressed the same views, Then Mr, Gladstone and the late Joba Bright and Lord Beaconsfield and other leading English statesmen have expressed like senti- ments. “There are many cogent reasons for annexa- ation, including the commercial benefits ensu- ing. "Now # Canadian must pay 30 and then 20 per cent upon the value of @ horse before he can ship it into the United States. This i merely an example. Again, there are 1,000, French Canadians, or about one-half the entire Face, at present in the United States.” ee THE TROUBLES IN COREA. Admiral Harmony Directed to Send a Ship ‘There to Protect Life and Property. Secretary Herbert has cabled Admiral Har- mony,in command of the Asiatic station, to dis- patch one of the ehips of his fleet to Corea, where there is prospect of trouble, which may endanger the lives of American citizens resi- dent there. This action was taken in response to re- west from the State Department. Secretary Gresham has received infimation of a probable uprising among the natives in hostility to the Christin, misclovanies ‘who are worsing im Corea. Quite = number of the missionaries are said to be Americans, Admiral Harmony is directed to take active measures for the protection of the missionaries and to order the ship to remain in Corean waters until ali apparent danger is past. —_—__-e-____ NEW TREASURY OFFICIALS. The Two Assistant Secretaries Sworn in— Jadge Lam berten's Farewell. Assistant Secretary Lamberton of the Treas- ury Department today bade farewell to those who have been connected witb him. During his term df office he has proved himself a most eGicient oficial, and by his courtesy became popular with all. He leaves tonight for Nebraska, where he is to represent the state in the impeachment cases, This afternoon his stccessor, W. E. Curtis, was sworn in, as was Assistant Secretary Ham- Uin, both of whom will assume control of their new positions tomorrow morning. For the present Mr. Curtis will have charge of the ap- Pointments and Mr. Hamlin of the customs af- aire. This assignment of duties will perhaps be changed when Assistant Secretary Spauiding’s successor is appomnted. It is not thought, how- r, that the latter change will be made until the end of the fiscal year. LEE See PLACES IN THE NAVY YARD.

Mr. Meredith in leaving the aftice de- clared that he bad not been treated as « gentie- man and he certainly expected it at the bands of Mr. Parker. “I want you to distinctly understand,” said Mr. Parker, “that 1am not here for the pur- pose of drawing $5,000 a year and listening to the dictates of everybody. I say to you frankly that I don't justify what Mr. said in bis paper, but during that campaign there were some equally bard things said about Mr. Blaine.” In bowing himself Mr. Meredith said that he was responsible for whatever he bad said and the matter closed. — The Commissioner of Patents Confirmed. Among the confirmations made by the Senate | this afternoon were 8. T. Fisher of Massachu- | setts. commissioner of patents, and William | Lochran, commissioner of pensions. | — = “RED “BILL” AGATN.

This afternoon he was on trial in the Police Court on charges of concealed weapon and assault and he denied the charges.
