Passed In Chlcago. Cnicago, 1L, June 20.—[Special Telegram to Tue Bri.|—Ou the eve of the democratic national convention an overwhelming ma- jority of the party represented hore is found indissolubly wedded 10 the idol which led 1t 10 defeat and disaster in 1858, Thoe name of Cleveland ovokes enthusiasm fn every quar- ter. Boies men joln in cheering tho candi- ante-at-large while hoping for his defeat. The Palmer, Gray, Campbell and Gorman booms or shadows of pooms wither beneath tho ag- gressive blazo of Clevelandism, It pone- trates Tummany headquarters and cheers for Cleveland are as frequent, if not as bearty, us th se for Hill, It is all-porvadiog and irresstible and viill, unless the shrewdest political calcula- tions err, Pasult in the nomination of tho ex- president within forty-eight hours, Disposing of Dangerous Booms, The feature of the day was the evident collapse of the movement to force Gorman to the front as a com- promise candidfte. Surewd calculating and practical, the senator from Mary- lnud weighed tho chances of success and flud- ing Cleveland’s forces as firm as a stone wall ho wisely strangled a boom that Lad not been fairly launched. Ex-Governor Campbell of Ohio is posted for permanent chairman of the convention as a peace offering and also as a check to prosi- dontiai ambitions in that quarter, Senator Palmer, the magnetic western man, professes boundless logalty for Clove- land, and has taken charge of tho Illnois forces. ‘The friends of Horace Boies of lown are conducting a clean, dignified and good- tempered campaign, making friends on ali sides, but nono of tho lowa rustlers believe Hoies stanas o ghost of & chance for first place on the ticket, nor is it likoly he would get second place if he wanted it. Ouly Opposed at Home, Opposition to Cleveland of an aggressive kind is confined to the Hill forces of New York. Thoy profess confidence in their ability to defeat Cleveland in the convention buv are reluctant to disclose the basis of their confidence. At present thoy are con- ductiug a vigorous campaign among the dole- gates from the middle states, using freo sil- ver us & club to convert Cleveland men, The Tammanyites ~ grow warmer ana more excitea as they approach tho hugo feast of the crow now being pre- pared for them in the wigwam, That they will swalow tne doso and profess loyalty for Clevelund wken nominated, as they did on two provious occasions, isa certainty. But will the enthusiasm for Clevelana sur- vive the heat of midsummer and the frosts of Octobert ® The unti-snappers unblushingly assert that be will sweep the stato likea whirlwind, that thousands of.republicans will vote for him, und that Tammany will be whipped foto line, What New York May Do, State Senator M. L. Haven of Syracuse, N. Y., a cool headed, practical politician, a protege of Horatio Soymour, denounced the published statemont to the effect that ex- Secretary Whituey had placated the regular delegation. The proposition was ridiculous, he said, **We do not carry the vote of New York in our pociets, When the party is united and the candidates popular we win., The fact that Flower carcied the state by 47,000 last fall is not a criterion of what the state will do this fall, Calculations must be made on former prosidential years, tho eloments of sirength emuodied in the candidate and the platform and tho sggressive harmony ln the rauks. Cleveland carried Now York as a candidate for governor in 1883 by 108,000, . The next year, as @ candidato for presi- dent, ho was elected by a scratch, even with the support of Roscoe Conkling and Henry Ward Beech Four years later, with the prestige of his administra- tion, his army of mugwump oficehioldars and @ united party, ho was defeated by General Harrison by 14,000, Has Uleveland gaied fu strength since 18581 ‘President Harrison has given the coun- try a strong business administration. Ho is certainly us strong in New York: state today as he was four years ago. We come here rep- resenting tho regular democracy of the state, the democracy that has under the leadership of Duvid Hennewt Hill -achievea triumph atter triumph until nowr the party controls every department of the state government. Wo assert that Cleveland canuot carry New York state. Wo koow the temper of the people. I veuturo the prediction that should Cleveland receive the nomination he will lose from oue to ten votes lu cvery polling dis- JAict of the state,” Mr. Haven's seniments are echoed by wany prominent Nel rasks democrats who rogard sho prossure for Cleveland without the sanction of his owa state as tho height of folly. Nebraskans who support Cleve- land’s aspiretions consider the opposition of Tammany o blessiag in disguive, Ex- Congresswun MeShave voiced a common sentiment when Lo told a Tammanyite that Lo hopod the dgmocracy would soou be rid of tue dictation and strife of Now York ana could elect the party nomines without the as- slatauce of the Empire state, Rumors aro rife tonight and are as thick as marching cluvs, yells and discordant musie. It Is said Senutor Govman will pluce Cleveland in nowination. T'we fact that Gorman bas suppressed his boow gives color 10 this report. Avother is 1o tho effect that Gnder an alleged bargain with Whltney votes on the first ballot will be scattered and on Lue second Tammany will head & stam- pede to Cleveland. Tobe Castor tor Committeeman, Nubrusks headquarters was s center of state luterest i the afternoon. Tho deloga- tion met and organized. The Boya force had fixed thiugs in & manuer that promised suc ccas. It was decided that Charles Ogden should inhierit Boyd's national sommittee mantle, and that the governor would be chairman of the delegation. Tho plan miscarried. Another railroad attorney was pitted against Me. Ogden. It was the Burlington against the Omaba, and the Bur- lington won, Tobias Castor was chosen member of the national committes, and W. H. Thompson of Hall county chairman of the deiegation, QThe selection of Castor s regarded as o biack eyo for the governor and the Samoset braves, One of the latter denounced the ac- tion of the committee as scandalous pander- ng to the Burlington. Carrall 8, Montgomery said he had no cause for lamentation, winked knowingly and van- ished, Tho Jacksonians are tickled beyond measure, A democrat from a back county declared that the railroads, having lost their gripon the republican party, chose the next bost. Wuat a spectaclo Mr. Castor will present as chief bottle holder at the coming fusion of the dewmocrats and farmers allianco in Nebraska. The remaining selections of the delegation are: On resolution committee, N. S, Har- wood of Lancaster; on credentials, F. H. Spearman of Red Willow; on permauent organization, John Dern of Dodge; secretary, L. P. Parkerof Richardson, What Nebruska Men Say. *'Itis nine-tenths of the party against one- teuth,” 1s the way Hon, Charles H. Brown expresses the situation, “‘and this one-tenth assumes to dictate the party's leaders and policy. They can't do it.” “It1s Cleveland. ‘The others ain't in it," exclaimed Hon, John A. Creightor, and the sentiment was ro-echoed by W. H, Thomp- sou of Hall county. Mr. Thompson says the estimates of the preference of the Nebraska delegation aro not correct. He canvassed the members and found only two opposed to Cloveland. Hon. Charles Ogden favors Senator (orman, and Frank Dablman of Dawes county inclines to Hill. This makes a gain of two votes over the claims made by the Cleveland men. Sojourning Iowans infused new hife into the Bofes boom this morning. A white clad band of sixty-four plecos headed a pro- cossion of about 300 men carryinga lifo sized painting of their favorite, whose uschievements were blazoned on a banner of blue and gold in these words: ‘Horace Boles, the Moses Who Lea Iowa Out of the Wilderness.” The Jacksonian club of Omaha arrived this morning, 100 strong. They are for Cleveland first and for the Jackson priuci- ples last and all the time. It is probable the Samosets and Jacksonians will be brought together with a view of burying the hatchet ere they return, Fully 1,000 Nebraskans are in the city. T. J. F. ANTI-CLEVE] Result of & Test in the National Coi tee—Owens for Temporar; rman. Cnicago, 1L, June 20.—To the anti-Clove- land forces belong the first honors of war in the coutest for control of the democratic na- tional couvention. ‘The national committee, at 1ts meeting this afterncon, decided by a vote of two to uwenty to present the mnamo of Henry Wat- terson’s candidate, W. C. Owens of Kentucky, as the temporary chairman of the couvention. The Cieveland peoplo ill brook defeat and will carry the contest onto the floor of the convention immediately after the convention is called to order. Un- less tho Cleveland men abandon their pres- ent intention, this will develop, though not perfectly, the strength of each side in the convention and will show the utmost strength of the opposition to Cleveland, and probably something in excess of that strength, me Cleveland states voted for Owens. ' The aunouncement of the intention 10 contest was made in_the national commit- tee immediately after Mr. Owens had wou in committee on a call of tho roll betwoen himself and William L. Wilson, the tariff re- form member of tho ways snd means com- mittee from West Virginia. Watterson's Peralstent Work. Tho fight for tho control of the temporary orgauization has been going on since F'riday night. Mr. Watterson entered into the fight on behall of bis state colleague with viuw, and hud the national committee canvassed before it was decided by the subcommitiee to “suggest”’ Mr. Owens' name. The death of the late Senator Barbour of Virginia left the subcommittee with only four members and early 1n the proceedings it was a tio, Mr. Ransom, though not a Cleveland man, favor- ing Mr. Stovenson on_ personal grounds, and with Mr. Prather of Missouri counterbal- ancing the votes of Henry Watterson ana Lieutenant Governor Sheehaa of New York, This was shown the first time the subcomn- mittee met, when the Cleveland mauagers conveyed au intimation that Owens was not acceptable to them. An adjournment over Sunday was taken and it was in this interval that Mr. Watterson went to work to seat his voung Kentucky friend in the presiding ofcer’s chair. The report of this canvass coavinced him that Owens was all right and Mr. Watter- son hus not hesitated to express his con- viction that Owens would be the winner, This morning the subcommittee met pur- suant of order and at once decided in favor of Mr. Owens, and decided to report his name to the full national committee. Will Muke a Fight on Owens, ome of the Cleveland men were in favor of acauiescence in the decision of the sub- commitiee, but Mr. Harrity and Senator Vilas sald that they would make a fight on bim. Steveuson was dropped as the man with whom to_oppose Mr. Owens, and Wil- son of West Virginia was taken up as the strongest man che Cleveland people could put in opposition to Mr. Owens. It was 12 o'clock when Chalrman Brice called the national committee to order. Atter some preliminary busiuess Ransom of North Carolfus, in behalf of the subcommittes on temporary orgauization, nominated for tem- porary chairian William C. Owens of Kon- tucky. ‘Lhis nomination was seconded by Henry Watterson and others, Mr. Holt of Texas nomivated Mr. Wilson of West Virgina, Hiram Atkins of Ver- mont secondod the nomination, as did sev- eral others. Brief complimentary speechos were mado, settiug forth the merits of the two candidates. While the mit- peeches were going on active conferencas wero taking place between tho Clevelaud men. Ex-Secretary Whitney aoandoued the Cleveland headquarters for the time being, and hovered around the out- sido of tho nationsl committee room head- quarters, He held conforenco with Mr. Harrity and other commiticemen whom he had called out of the wmeeting room, How the Stutes Voted. Mr. Owens' selection was vigorously op- posed, but when the roll was called it was found that that gentleman had 28 votes to 20 for Mr. Wiison. The vote in detail by states was us follows : In fuyor of Mr. Owens—Alabama, Arkan- sus, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Tili- nots, Iudiana, lowa, Kentucky, Muine, land, Michigun, Missouri, ~Moutans, Ne- brasis, Nevadu, New York, Nortb Caroliua, Onio, Peunesseo, Virgia, Wyoming, Ari- goua, District of Columbla,'Now' Mexico and Utahi, 1n favor of Mr. Wilson of West Virginia— California, Conoecticut, Kausas, Louisiuna, Miuuesola, mmmyrn, New Jersey, North Dukots, Orogon, Penusylvavia, ' Rhode Island, South Dakota, Texas, Vermont, Wasuiugton, West Virginia, Wisconsiu, Alaska and Oklaboma. The states of Delaware and South Caro- liua were temporarily absent when the roll was called and did not vote. After the announcement was made, & mo- tion was cutered to make Mr, Owens' seloc- tion unenimous, bub Mr. Hoitof Texas gave notice tnat howould present a minority re- port. Whother ornot the Clevelwnd men will mako a square test of strength in the con- vention and all of them supvort Mr. Holt on motion to adopt the minority report re- maius to be scen. Not n Falr Test of Strength. An analysis of the vote in committee shows that it was not a square alignment of the op- posing forces on tho presidential question. All the states voting for Mr. Wilson scem to be states in which tho Cleveland sectiment is provonderant, unloss 1t be the state of Mississippi, but in the list of Mr. Owens’ sup- porters are to be found scveral states of whose devotion to Cleveland’s interests thero can be no doubt. Thus Michican, in- struoted to vote for him as a unit, favored the adoption of the sub committee's report, as did Massachusetts, which, while it did not_instruct for Cleveland because of state custom, warmly commended him and put fow but Cleveland men on guard. Illinois, which is usnally classed for Clevelana, also voted for Owens, aud so did instructed Tennesseo and rock-ribbed Maine, which is a Cleveland state, though its committcemen, Sewell, is doubtful of Mr. Cleveland’s ability as a win- ver in New York state. New Members of the Committee. Other business was transacted as follow: Two members of the committee, Senator Bar- bour of Virginia and C. W. Broadwater of Montana, had died during tho year and in their places as newly chosen members of the committee were Basil B, Gordon and Martin Maginnis, respoectively, Alaska was admitted to membership in the national committee for the first time, A. K. Delany being its ropresentative. The other states and territories were represcuted by the regular committeemen. The committee then heard for the first time officially of the arrangements made for the hotding of the convention. Chairman Brice made a verbal report of whay the committee of seven appointed w arrango for the con- vention had done. Tho report was satisfac- tory and the wigwam was accepted. A delogation from Indian Territory was given tickets entitling them o seats on the floor of the convention, A 8. P. Sheerin, national committeoman from Indlana and secratary of the commit- toe, it was agreed, should bo recommended as secretary of the temporary organization, and ho was given authority o appoint ten assistants, Colonel Richard J. Bright, also an Indiavan, was chosen sergeant-at-arms and given power to appoint the necessary subordinates. Colonel Edward W. Dickinson of New York was appointed official stenographer. New Moxico was then on deck secking six delegates instead of two, and she succeeded in getting what she wanted. It was secured by the adoption ot the foliowing resolution offered by Mr. Field of Albuquerque: Resolved, That this committee, disclaiming the right 1o dictate to tho convention what action it shall take with reference to the cluims of Arizona and New Moxico to ad- ditional representation, recommend that the clnims of New Mexico and Arizona be recog: nized by the convention to the extent of wd mission to the convention with n representi- tion equal to the representation of the smull- eststate. 1f this goes through the convention, and there seoms o be no reason to expect that it will not, the four provisional delegates each territory elected will have places in the con- vention. This wil swell the total member- ship to 004 and make 604 votes necessary in order to secure the nomination, ‘fihu commutteo then adjourned subject to call. WILL ACT AS A UNIT, Indlana’s Delegation Has Buri nces. Cuicago, 111, June 20.—The fight between the Cleveland and tiray factions in Indiana is over. The] two factions of the delegation met for tho first time Saturday afternoon, whenthe Gray wing,led by Senator Voorhees, capturad everything in signt trom the chair- manship of the delegation to the committee- man to notity the nominees of the conven- tion. The Cloveland faction, led by D. S. Morss, editor of the Santinel, did nothing more than resolve to stay all summer 1f nec- essary to nominate Cleveland. Up to this wfternoon tho members of the two factions did not speak us they passed by. The Cleve- land men were especially bitter at the Gray men for Laving appropriated to themsolves all the committees. Held Separate Cau At3o'clock both factions held separate caucuses. The Cleveland men wers rein- forced by C. R. Hollard and J. E. Cass of the Tenth district. For the first time those two delegatos entered the Cleveland caucus, both promising Lo stand vy Cleveland as long as his name was before the couvention, At the Gray caucus the delegates were demoralized. An informal talk showed that every delegate conceded Cleveland’s nomina- tion, In order to place the state in a credit- able position before the country, 1t was de- cided not to present Governor Gray's name, but 1o join the Cleveland faction and vote as aunit for the ex-president. The Cleveland fac- tion having secured half of the delegation, gave the antis to understand that it was a matter of indifference to them whether they cume over or not. ‘When the two factions had been seated in secret session at the Palmer house this after- noon not a word was uttered until John E. Lamb unnounced that Governor Gray's namo would not be presouted, and theu moved that he delegation vote as 4 unit for Cleveland on the first and subsequent ballots, Editor Morss, for the Cleveiand side, ae- manded a call of the delegation so that each delogate be placed in black and white, Every delegato voted for Cleveland, Voorhees Wil Second Cleveland. James Murdock, another anti-Cleveland man, proposed that Senator Voorbees should sacond the nomination of Cloveland. Senator Voorhees, at the request of the delegation, accepted. W. E. English, who had been originally selected by the Cleveland men to perform this duty, wil follow Senator Voorhees, so that both factions will second Cleveland’s nomination. Gray's name was not men- tioued at the meeting. When the news of the reunion of the two factions reached the Victoria hotel, where the state committce and the Indiana clubs are quartored, thero was great rejoicing, The action of tne delegation was received with general approval, On the resuit of the action of the Indiana delegation, Editor Morss said: “I have no doubt that the anti-Cleveland delegates were influenced by the flood of telegrams received by them today from all parts of the state urging them to stand up for Cleveland. ‘Lhere was no burgain made with the anti-Cleveland faction by wbich they were to support Cleveland iu considera- tion of the nomination of Gray for vice pres- ideut, Governor Gray's name wus not mentioned and the other faction came over o us voluutarily 1 its Diffor- o8, GORMAN AND TH They Deeided to Support Him for the Nom- ination—Kexult of Their Cuuocus, Cumicago, 111, June 20.—Confusivn and ex- citement were flung into the conference of silver men today ulmost at the outset. An abortive ending of the whole movement seemed lmminent, but the fual success achieved was all the greater by contrast. The explosion came from & prematurs sug- gestion that the caucus proceed to talk over the matter of candidutes. Instantly there was & hubbub. Us no use,” “Couldn't agree,” “Too close to the con- veution," and dozeus of siwilar comwents wet the proposal, Hurmony Looms U 'be understanding among spirits in the conferencs was that a report should be made to concentrate the silver votes under the leadership of Colorado for Gorman. Practical refusal of the caucus W even consider the matter, much less unite upou @ candidate, was & disugreeable sur- prise, but those who were chiefly instrumen- wl 1w b gultiug the cauous Logather adroltly avoided forciug an issue at the beginnin, tuat threatened, if then pressed, to nrmlpr- tate perbaps, irretrievable disseusion. ln- slead of jamming ahead rough-shod aud s3- the leading curing a candidate offorts woro ostensibly bent toward proauctng a silver plank for which all present would pladgo themselves to stand through thick and thin. The dulcot eloquence and quick intelli- gence of T. M. Patterson of Denver was brought into play, und under his skiil- ful piloting havmony as big a3 mountain so0n began to loom into view. Ho caretully avoided any mention of presidential candi- dates, and urged & full expression from every man present as to what should bo done, and the best method of going about it. In place of an angry debate ensuing as to the fitness or unfitngss of the different car didates, the forty-two delegates present, 8 cesuit of Pattersen's delicato mancuver- ing, were soon ‘enghged in an carnest but harmless discussion of the phraseology of a silver plank, the most ingenious schemies for the plank, when costructed, 1o bo pushed through the platforin committee, and tho course to ba pursuéd whoa the reached the convention, ry One Unloaded His Eloquence. All of tho intricacies of silver legisiation arose apparently in the three mortul hours of speoch-making that foliowed, but every man from the Rocky mouutains that came to Chi- cago loaded with an_address ou the silver quostion was given full swing to unburden himself. The ‘‘round-up" came in the form of a mo- tion to appoint & committeo of one from each state represented to help frame the much- discussed plank. The motion was carriod, and by this time the iuclination to pugnaci- ousness, so prominent early in the proceod- ings, had thorovehly evaporated, the distri- pution of honors in the form of places on the committee helping 1n mollifying those who doubted that anything after all was to como out of the caucus. Selzit.g a favorable opportun‘ty Patterson again took the flook, ana ufter pointing out how much depended upon united action gradually led up to & statement that he had originally been a Hill mun, but of late had become ‘convineed $hat the most favoravle man from a silver standpoint, the candidato favorable to the silver interosts who had aroused the least anjagonism and was most likely to win, was Gorman of Maryland, Swelling the florinan Boom, Whon Pattorson’s remarks wore rein- forced by T. O'Donbell, another Colorado dolegate of marked ability, who proclaimed himself an original Gorman man, the temper of the caucus toward the Maryland senator began to show symptoms of docided warm- ing up. Clark of Nevada helped on the boom. Tho Montana delegates. were not slow to fall into line. and the representatives forming the re- mainder of the conference, after much but- ton-holing and canvassing of the possibilities of the balloting in the convention, put them- selves on record by declaring ' one after another a proference for Gorman or a will- ingness to unite in bis shpport. When the patient mauipuiation and infin- ite tact of the leaders in the caucus had been finally crowned with dus reward, adjourn- ment was at once taken, subject to call, The net result, if the pledges made are carried 01t, was tho corralling of oxuctly forty-two votes for Gorman on the first bullot, These votes are to come from, Colorado, Montana, Idaho, Nevads, Utsh, New Mexico and Wyoming. Those active in the caucus claim that its action will decidealy influcnco thirty other votes in_different delegations, muking a total of seventy for Gorman as an outcome of the day’s work by the silver men, SENSATIONAL AND DRAMATIC, Scenes When Illino Declded to Vote for Clevglagd, Cuicadd; Iil, Jurle $0.—The most sensa- tional and dramatic, scenes preceaing the democratic nationa] conweation were wit- nessed tonight béhind' the “Elosed doors of the lllinois headquidiers.

STANDING LOYALLY BY BOIES, Iowa's Delegation Says Horaco Must Have First Place or Nothing. Cuicago, 11, June 20,—The loyalty of the Towa dolegation to Boies has aroused the ad- miration of the democracy of the nation. It was natural 1o suppose at the beginning that as Cloveland bad always been popular among the farmers of the Hawkeye state, the arri- val of the Cleveland leaders and the demon- stration of the fact that be would have over a majority on the frst ballot, would cause a weakening of the Boies forces and the extonding of the olive branch of con- ciliation or compromise to the Cleveland manugers, They are doing nothing of the kind. They have demonstrated the fact that the twenty-six votes of Iowa aro immovyably wedded to the nopes of tbe Hawkeye governor, aud this sitnation has been gen- eruily accepted by’ all the opposi- tion leaders. The tion that Holes would be a good vide idential candidate in the event of Clevulaud’s nomination does not even find courl reception in the lowa headquarters. ludged tho Boies people rather resent this ax aaf overture for lowa's vote in return for tho viee presidertial nom- wation for Boles, and intruder is at once iven to undefstand that Boies is nob candidate for, and will pot accept, secoud place. i Flower is 84l for 1.

A fow days ago a report was published to the éffoct thut one reason, 1f not the chiel reason, why Mr. Blaiuo's resignation was precipitated so suddenly was that he hud been subjected to humiliating criticisms by General Fostor in the presenco of the Canadian commissioners during the recent conforences, 1t was suid that whilo Mr. Biaine was making a state- mont of the position of the Uuited States in, regard to oue of the matters under consider- ation, ho was interrupted by General Foster, who remarked that Mr. Blaine's view of the case was in direct contradiction to the view entertained by the president. According to the report this so angered Mr. Blaine that he abruptly terminated tho conference and went off and wrote his resignation, ‘The storv,which always nad seemed doubt- ful, becomes still more improbable now in connection with the sentenco in General Foster’s letter just alluded to and_ additional weight s nffordea by tho letter to General Foster's frequantly repeated aftirmation thut there nover has béen any difficulty between him and Mr. Blaine in relation to these nego- tiations.

McKenzie Rowell and Hon., George I Foster. Ilon.John W. Fostor also appeared on behalf of the overnment of tho United States at the request of the sec- retary of state. Cannda Would Have Benefited, The president says: “The result of the conference as to the practicability of ar- ranging a reciprocity treaty with the Domin- ion of Canada 13 clearly stated 1n the letter of Mr. Blaino and was antioipated, 1 think, by him aod every other thoughtful American who had considered the subject. A recipros treaty, limited to the exchange of natural products,would bave been such only in form. The benofits of such a treaty would have in- ured almost wholly to Canada. Previous experiments on this lino had been unsatisfactory to this goveramont, A treaty that should be raciprocal in fact and of mutual advantago must necossarily have embraced an important list of manufactured articles, and have secured to the United States a free or favored introduction of these articles in to Canada as against tho world; butit was unot believed that the Canadian ministry was ready Lo propase or assent to such an arrangement. The con- clusion of the Canadian cominissioners is stated in the report of My, I neas follow ‘Iu the sccond place 1t scomad to bo impos- siblo for the Canadian government, in view of 1ts prosent political relalions and obligutions, 1 extend Lo Amorican goods o preferential treatment over those of other countrics. As Cannda was a part of tho British empire, they did not consider it competentfor tho Dominion government to enter 10to any commercial arrangement with the United States from tho bonents of which Great Britain and its colonies shopld bo exclude An Insuperable Barrer, “It is not for this government to argue against this announcement of Canadian offi- cials’ opinion. 1t must be accepted, howover, 1think, as the statement ot a condition which places an insuperable barrier in the way of attainment of that large and bene- ficial intercourse ana reciprocal trade which might otherwise be developed between the United States and the Daminion. It will be noticed that Mr. Blaino reports as ove of the results of the conference: ‘An informal engagement to repeal and abandon the drawbaci of 18 couts & ton given on whoat (grain) that 1s carried through to Montreal, and shipped_therefrom to Kurope, by the American railways ruumng from Ogdeusburg and Oswego aua ether Ameri can ports, the shippers paying the full 20 ceuts a ton, whilo in offcet shippers by way of Montreal pay only 2 conts. 1t was under- stood that the Cunadian commissioners, who were uil throe members of the cabinet, would 580 to the withdrawal of this discrimination.’ Canadian Diseriminath “From the roport of the recent confersnve Ly Mr. Foster it will be secn that the Cana- dian commissioners declare that this state- ment does not conform o their understand- ing, and that the only assurance they had in- tended to give was that the complaint of the government of the United States should be aken futo consideration Ly the Cauadian ministry on their return to Outawa. Mr. Foster, who was present at the first confer- enze, confirms tho statement of Mr, Blaine. While this misunderstunding is un- fortunate the more serious phase of tho situation is that instead of rescinding the discriminating canal tolis, of v'hich this country complains, the Canadian ministry, aftor the return of ‘the commwissioners from their visit to Washington on April 4, ro- aed without any communication to this government the order continuing tho dis- crimination by which a rebate of 18 cents a ton 15 allowed unon grain going to Montreal, but not to American ports, and refusing this rebate cven to grain going to Monureal if truns-shipped at an American port, Provision of the Treaty, ““Tho report of Mr. Partridge, the solicitor of tho Department of State, which accom- panies the letter of the secretary of state, states theso discriminations very cloarly, That these orders as to tolls and rebato are in direct violation of article 27 of the treaty of 1871 seems to bo clear, It is wholly evasive to say that thore 1s no discrimina- tion betweon Cauadian aud American vessels; that the robate is allowed to both without favor upon grain carried through to Montreal or trans-shipped at & Canadian port to Montreal.
