CONFEREES TAKE RECESS Adjournment of the International High Commission Until September 20, No More Hearings Will Be Given Ex- cept by the Commissioners’ Own Request. The joint aigh commission of the United Canada, Newfoundland and Great after ten days’ work, adjourned o'clock yesterday to meet again in nec September 20, at 11 a.m. All of the American commissioners, excepting Mr. Kasson, will return to their homes or to Washington. Mr. Kasson will remain in Quebec. The subcommittees and secretaries will continue their work there or at their homes during the recess. Cengressman D.ngley left yesterday after- neon for his home in Maine. General Fos- ter will go to Washington. What the commissioners accomplished up to this point, or what they are likely to accomplish in the future, can only be in- ed from outward indications. Absolute- nothing has been revealed from the meeting rooms The commissioners on both sides kave repeatedly stated that the nest friendly relations existed on both sides, and that the representatives of both governments manifested a disposition, even a determination, to reach a final adjust- rrent of the questions of international dis- pute before them. But there are questions which many pre- dict the commissioners will have great difficulty in adjusting, if they are able to adjust them at all. Some of these diffi- culties are foreshadowed in what has taken place here during the past three days. Difficult Questions. Three powerful industries of the United States, by their representatives, have ap- peared, praying the American members of the conference to make no change in the duties now imposed upon the Canadian prcducts of lumber, fish and pulp paper. The lumber interest {s the most tmportant of the three, and it is known that between s and the reconvening of the confer- ective steps will be taken by the United States lumber men to forestall any action on the part ef the commission in of opening wider the United States for Canadian lumber. Another powerful industry yet to be heard from is the agricultural interest. The farmers ef the United States, it is known, will oppose most vigorously any adjustment of affairs which will involve a reduction of the duty on Canadian agricultural prod- ucts. Yet these are some of the conces- sicns the Canadian government desires. If the joint high commission had noth- ing to do but settle the Bering sea ques- tion, the boundary lines of Alaska, the fisheries or any group or all of the twelve questic doubt in the protocol no it, but the greater ss enumerated they could do ity has seemed to force mference and the ques- to settle. The Protests. sion from So far as known the only exp the United State ord with the Cana- dian view of reciprocity is that coming from the Boston chamber of commerce. These gentlemen told the commissioners that they favored the freest possible trade relations with da and that they spoke large nmber of the manufactur- of the eastern and northern nst this argument came the ef the lumber men, who declared lustry a.one gave employiment r of Am n citiz as large of nada @ popu 1 > duty on lumber to remain be seen from a very » situatica that the ommission hi zravest importance and one that is anied by the greatest difficulties. ‘After the adjo irnment it was announced hat no more hearings of any sort would be siven except in cases where the comm! rs themselves requested the appear- sf persons for the purpose of giving sary information. One-Sided Reciprocity. A man close'y identified with the United States government, and who has followed he work of the conference very close made the followiag statement yesterday .fternoon: “The labor of the American members of he commission has been greatly increased by the attitude of the Canadian representa- ives on the subject of reciprocity. I un- stand that they demand, as a condition cedent to the settlement of the interna- ich have long pended jonal questions 3 vxetween Canada and the United States, un agreement of some kind in reference to the procity. This would not be so difficult solution were it not for the fact that from the aewspapers in Canada and from the impressions of the pubiic men here It s very evident that the reciprocity which they are willing to enter into Is not the aind of reciprocity that the American peo- ple for the past twenty years aave discuss- d and now unanimously favor. Since I .ave been here I have carefully observed the situation, and ‘ave learned that Can- la expects the United States to give them exclusive preferential duty in our mar- ket, while they propose to admit our goods nly upon the same condition that the pro- of Great Britain are admitted. The nadian idea is tha e to have an ad of the world, while in their market y will give us only an equal opportunity to ccmpete with Great Britain. What America Wants. “The kind of reciprocity which the Amer- ican people favor and which the commer- cial bodies of the United States have asked our commissioners to secure Is the reciproc- ity which gives an equal advantage in the respective markets in the countries which are parties to the agreement, and that this vantage should be exclusively enjoyed by h country. Had these various commer- cial. bodies Known at the time they consid- ered and p ed their resolutions what kind of reciprocity Canada wanted, it is doubt- ful if any of them outside the Boston cham- ber of commerce would have favored It or would have presented these resolutions which are now in the hands of the commis- sioners. t was not then known that such great ational industries In the United States as agriculture, lumber, coal and others were to be laid on the international bargain counter, there to be disposed of in consid- eration of securing for a few manufacturers in Boston and other New England cities the poor privilege of competing in the Ca- nadian markets on an equality with scme other country where production is carried on at a cost far below the cost cf produc- tion in our own country. “In anticipation of the appointment of this joint high commission Canada some time ago increased the preferential toriff in favor of Great Britain 12% ner cent, so that today in the Canadian market Ameri- can goods pay 25 per cent more duty than English goods. see The more you buy in Hoeke’s Clearing Sale the more you save.—Advt. * Macriage Licenses.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: On my visit to the hospital at Bristow, Va., on Thursday, to establish, at the re- quest of surgeons in charge, a diet kitchen under the supervision of the Red Cross, I visited the hospitals there. In one of the hospital tents I found a sick soldier from Company F of the 22d Kansas, named Charles Throckmorton. Beside his cot was his father, Mr. David Throckmorton, fan- ning his son. Having received special tele- grams and letters from the Red Cross at Columbus, Kan., the home of the Throck- mortons, I paid special attention to the patient and found him improving rap'dly The father followed me out of the hospi- tal, and stated that he desired me to write for him to the Washington papers and to his home papers in Kansas, telling of his satisfaction at the care that both h!s boys had received in the hospital at Bristow, Va., and to contradict all statements said to emanate from him that would give a contrary impression. With tears in his ae the strong man grasped my hand and said: him, she declares, but his cruelty has made it an impossibility. She recites that her husband once kidnaped her son Albert and took him to New York. — MARYLAND POLITICS, Democratic Apathy and Republican Activity in Washington County. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. HAGERSTOWN, September 2, 1598. There fs great apathy existing among the democrats of Washington county with ref- erence to the approaching November con- gressional election. The only move thus far taken has been the calling of primaries for as late a date as September 17, for the election of delegates to the county conven- tion to be keld at a date yet to be named. The congressional nominating convention meets in Hagerstown, September 28, and from the present outlook it is not likely that Washington county will present any one for the convention's consideration. In fact, the nomination seems to be going a begging. On the other side, the republicans are active, and within the past few days have met with a great surprise by the entry into the congressional race of a dark horse in the person of Geo. A. Davis, a member of the Hagerstown’ bar, and the attorney of the board of county commissioners. Mr. Davis served one term in the Maryland legislature when but twenty-seven years of age. He is said to be a protege of Judge L. E. McComas, and a close and particular friend of that gentleman, who, under cer- tain contingencies, could be relied upon to aid Mr. Davis, who has other strong back- ing. If there is any chance for a dark hicrse in the event of a deadlock, or the dropping out of Judge Stake, Mr. Davis will go in to win. Jugge Stake is now at Marshall Hall rusticatihg. There are an unusually large number of Washingtonians here at present. Among the latest arrivals are Rey. J. B. Stitt, Mrs. J. G.
