TALKING WAR WITH CANADA, A Katuck Militiaman Tells of Military Ac tivity in the Lower Province. INTENSE FEELING IN BUFFALO. | ‘Why the United States ITas Nothing to Fearina War With Great Brit- ain Despite Our Defenses less Position, Duffalo Stirred Up, Burrato, N. ¥ —Special Tele- gram to the Brr.|—The discussion of the retaliation bill by eongress has apparently stirved up the residents of the Dominion of Canada. A member of the Dufferin guards, Eighty-clghth regiment, a volunteer mili- tary organization, 18 now In this city and last night saiq, regarding the preparations being made throngh lower Canada in the expecta- tion of war being declared, that a few days ago every pensioner of the imperial service was ordered under arms to be ready to move tothe front at a moment's notice. At Brant- ford there are 1,000 of these veterans and they are drilling daily. At Hamilton there are 600 and at various other points through lower Canada are enough men to furnish a standing army of 5000 men at an hour's notice. The excitement, he says, is great, and through all of the lower peninsula the militia is getting in readiness fof active ser- vice. A larce number ot Cana- dians who have for years been making a good living on the Amel n side will, it is feared by the Canadians, operate to their disadvantage, as some of the best people in Canada have been obliged to remove to this country in order to obtain a decent living. The man added: “I am liable to be called on myself to do duty in my own regiment, but as I was unable to get work in Canada [ came to this country, and expeet to secure 1t In a few days.

A trip through the eastern partof this city along the water front shows that a strong feeling is cherished. Mamy of the veterans are in readiness to volunteer in case their aid is necessary, but nothing will be done by them until it is scen that war cannot be averted. Buffalo's safety will be in a quick movement to secure the lower peninsular of Ontario, and enouch men from this region can be ob- tained when it is found necessary to protect this city. A CRAVEN POLICY. New Yonrk, Feb. 1.—[Special Telegram to the Brx.|—The following is the Jeading editorial in the ‘Iribune this mornineg; “Pusillanimous talk in regard to war with Great Britain over the fisheries outrages should not be encouraged. It is true that this country has a defenseless seaboard, which, in the event of hostilities with a for- eign_power, would invite invasion. It is alko true that the United States navy is in a deplorabie condition and would be unable to make a stand against the fleets of Great Britain. The defenseless condition of the seaboard and the weakness of the navy are indisputable facts. It is not necessary, how ever, for the press to exaggorate the” weak- ness of the conntry und to make a craven exhibition of American belp- Jessness. Defenseless as is the sen- board snd antiquated as s the navy, it 18 nevertheless true that the country is hanfir‘[:rapnn«( for war over the fisheries outrage than England is to<day. We say this not in a boastiul spirit, but as the result of dellberate reflection, The southern frontier of the Dominion is certainly as e posed to attack from volunteer land forces, wh'ch this countrv could at once put into the field, as the American seaboard is to hostile naval demonstiations. Every wanton act committed on the coast, the bombardment of defenseless towns and’ the firing of cities, could be repeated on Canadian territory in o 8pirit of retaliation. No prophet is needed to foretell oue resultof the declaration of war between England and the United Si A large proportion of “the Dr army would be immediately requ for ~garrison duty in England. only “would Irshimen refuse to take up arms azainst the United States, but they would plot unceasinuly inst the crowi and strive to establish an Irish republic, From a war involving the probable less of Canada and Treland, Great Britian, not America, has reason to shrink. No more do- plorable event can be imagined than an in- ternational strife between Enzlish speaking ¥nces that are separated by the Atlantic but bound together in indissoluble ties. We be- iieve that on each side moral and industrial Torces, alike poweriul in preventing an out- dreak of war, will contintie to make for p in this generation fora contury in reserve. It is unnecessary, however. for a great nation of 60,600,000 to proclaim ness'in event of war. pusillanimous polic g e A HOTEL CLERK'S RAUL, He Skips With nie Davenport's Jewels and Some Loose Cash. Muyrais, Tenn,, Feb, 1.—Charles Talbott, aged nineteen, employed as night clerk at the Gayoso hotel, has been missing all dav. He was on duty from 10 o’clock last night until 7 o'clock this morning. After the perform- ance of “Fedora” at the theater last night, Edwin H, Price, nnio Davenport's hus- band, left with Talbott u jewel casket which contained Miss Davenport’s monds, consisting of brooch, rings, neck: lnce, earrings, ete, valued at §35,000, Price took a 1eceipt and with his wife retired 1o their apartmenis in the hotel, The casket was not put in the safe, a3 it had been locked, and Talbott did not know the combination, but was placed in the cash drawer, togetner with several packages of money which lnte guests had deposited and which amounted to abont $308, This money, together with the jewels, are missing. Talbott'had duplicated eys of the cash drawer of the cigar stand of the botel, and it, too, was rifled of $10in go.

Furnished With Two Opinions on the er-State Commerce Bill. NEW Yonk, Feb, 1. —[Special Telegramn to the Ber.]—The Ti this morninz says: Although the presidents of the trunk lines have agreed to meet to-morrow for the pur- pose of discussing the inter-state commeice bill, it is altogether unlikely that they will arrive at a delinite conclusion regarding the meaning of somo of its most vital provisions. Most of them have already talked over the bill. They gave the greater part of two days to the work and were assisted by eight law yers of recoznized ability. They had pre ously discussed the billina desultory fashion, but Thursday and Friday of last week they devoted their time to close study of its pro- visions and then waited patiently for the conclusion arrived at by their counsel. The eight legal gentlemen were instructed to state their definition of the ambiguous pro- visions in it. They were not to pick flaws in 1t, but simply to explain its meaning on two points considered vital by the railroad man- agers, The lawyers were evenly divid four construed them inone way and_ four in another. The result was not exactly satis- actory to the railroad presidents. “The latter had previously considered the bill on a par with the “fifteen vuzzle,” but after h the two scts of legal opimions they decides that congress had the eall not only on the in- ventor of the “fifteen puzzle,” but upon all puzzles of ancient or modern times. In view of the result of this meeting it is not ex- pected that to-morrow’s meeting will define a policy that all the roads will be satistied to adopt. The general opinion among railroad men is that President Cleveland will sign bill, but there are many who think he may retirn it with a request that its ambiguous provision be explained; or he may say, as I'resident Depew, of the New York Central, put it yesterday: **Draft an inter-siate com- merce bill in plain English and 1 will sign it.” If the bill is signed in its present shape the commissioners will be required by the railroads to construe its doubtful provisions, How they should be able to accomplish the task that has been found impossible by emi- nent lawyers is not clear to the railroads, but the Jatter will expect the performance of such a feat rather than rup the risk of work- ing under the advice of their own counsel. A Talk with Jay Gould, Nrw Yok, Feb. L—[Special Telezram to the Br Jay Gould arrived in New York Sunday, after an absence of three weeks spent in a thorough Investigation of his southwestern railroad o, He said 10 & reporter last evening: *I have been through fourteen states since 1 left homwe, not to speak of looking over the border into Mexico. There is something very nearly ap- proaching a business boom at the west, and talk among all classes is confident and cour- ageous. No, Idonotthink that the people in the west regard the strike here as a matter of great importance. As to the inter-state bill, they hope to derive great advantage from it. 1t is a rather curious fact that the people who will belikely to suffer most from the pract eal operation of the measure are much more heartily in favor of it than the people of the east. 1 know little about the probuble action of the president, but a dispatch was siown to me just now which stated that three members of the eabinet were opposed to it and the others were in favor of it. 1 should think that the chances are about even that the pres- ident might sign or veto 1t, I have the right to regulate commerce the states; it can_have no right o delesate its authority to a third party, the commission that bill establishes. 1 believe this view will be maintained by the courts when the que tion cowes before them. 1t the railroad com- panies will closely follow the law it will be repealed within six months, —— Prospective Changes in the Cabinet.

WasniNGToN, Feb, L—[Special Tele gram to the Bee|—There was a small tempest at the capitol this morning when it was discovered that the enrolled biil forf ing the Northern Pacliic land grant had lost and some wild stories were told. liouse passed a bill at the last n for- feiting the lands of the Northern Pacific road west of the Missouri river. he senate amended the bill so that only those lands should be forfeited that bad not been earned within the spirit of the grant, and this covered only those on the C cade branch, along which no track has been built. The usual course of appoint- ing a committes of conference was taken Dolph, Teller and Cockrell on the part ot | the senate, and Cobb of Indiana, Payson of Ulinois and Van ton of Mississipp on the part of the house, They et and failed to agree. The fact was reported to the house and the matter was dropped till yestor- day, when another conference was to be held, but was not, because the original man- uscript of the bill could not be found. When t seen the bili was in the possession of Congressman_Cobb, and he does not remem- ber what hedid with it. e thinks that he handed it to the clerk of the house when he madu the report of the committee of confer- ence. The clerk says (hie bill was re- turned to Mr. Cobb, which the latter says may have been the ¢ I'he opinion pre- vailing around the room of the committee on public lands is that Mr. Cobb took the bill, Taid it down somewbhere and left it to the ten- der mercies of the inclemient season., Mr. Cobb's triends say that he may have laid it down on the window sill, where it could blow away, or he may have left it in a street caror on the counter of the zentleman who mixed his toddy, He is bsent-minded old gentleman and never knows where lis hat Is. There is proba- bly no foundation for the rumor that the opponents of the measure have destroyed it. But such things have been done. In the the Forty-fifth congress an important part of the sundry etvil appropriation bill was omit- ted f:om the parehiment copy which bore the approval of the president, and an investi, tion showed that it had been done agents of thoze interested in defeatin section of the bill. It occurred the la of the session and thy committee on enrol bills, who should have made a comparison and aiscovered the omission, were all drunk except Rainey, the colored ‘member from South Carolina, who tried to do the work of five men and naturally had to skip some thing. There is a bitler feeling between the house and senate committee on this subject, and at the conterence this morning there was sowe hard talk. OF INTEREST TO W0OL GROWERS, A proposition is under consideration by the secretary of the treasury which is of creat interest to wool growers throughout the country. It is to place wool tops in the samo dutiable list as scoured wool, thus re- ducing the duty very materilly. Ex-Repre- sentative Beriah Wilkins, of Ohio, has been enlisted in opposition ' to the proposed chance, and to-day received & lotof samples of wool tops from Philadelphia, and these he spread out on his desk on the floor of the house, and afterward distributed them among the members for their enlightenment.

To-day application was made to the state auditor for warrants for their salaries for the month of January, amounting to $IS5.33 each, The request was denied, as expecteil, and they will now unite in making up a test case and take it to the supreme court for set- tlement, The six who are out of oflice, but think tLeir salaries ought to continue,are Utt of Dubuque, Jeflries of Moun t Pleasant,, Chaney ot Osceols, McCullum of Sivley Hughes of Marengo, and Calvert of Adel.
