Washington, Nov.

attitude of the administration towards the subject of reciprocity with Canada ia probably disclosed in the following- statement of a government official: "The task of the government would be mad'? easier if the statesmen in congress would be controlled by the interests of the country at large. Some of them unfortunately confine their views to a particular concession to be obtained from a foreign country for a local interest, and then desire our compensatory concession to be made not by their own but by some other locality. They make of reciprocity a series of questions to be settled in the interest of particular districts. We may be able to secure arrangements which will add millions to our national export trade, and yet it might be defeated by a combination of a few minor local interests, not amounting to $1,000,000. Yet reciprocity mutual concession; without this nothing can be accomplished.

Can Exchange Competitiou for Monopoly. 'We muft give a market if we acquire necessarily a free market, but an accessible market. Take coal for an illustration. By giving access to the Xew England coast we might gain access (perhaps control) in the coal market of all central Canada, with mutual advantages by reason ol! geographical and transport conditions- Would it be for coal producers to antagonize these natural conditions? It is the same with other articles of commerce, where long water transportation is balanced against short railway carriage. In some things we can acquire an almost exclusive market, greatly increasing, our exports, in exchange for a market open only to the competition of the other party.

So it' is with some phases the question of log's and coarse lumber, against manufacturers of wood. Ailviiiittisri' of Jiiilitrifinjr tlie Murket. "Whenever we enlarge the market of manufactures we inevitably enlarge the demand for our raw material, from wl-k-h they are made, and this tends to increase the price paid to the original producer. The advantages of increased trade are widely distributed. In the ms.jor portion of commercial exchange this country is in the exceptional condition of producing a surplus both ot material and of the manufactured products.

Our policy must take into situation, although it increases our difficulty in negotiations which shall satisfy every interest. All that can be hoped for is a result which in the aggregate shall be clearly advantageous to the nation as a unit. All producers are consumers and they often gain on one side as much as they lose on the other." SEAL EXPERTS HOPE TO AGREE. Wlien the Diplomats Will Take Hold and See What Can He IJone. Washington, Nov.

British, Canadian and American delegates to the Behring sea meeting had confidently expected to bring their labors to a close yesterday, but after two arduous sessions lasting until 5:30 o'clock last evening the experts had not been able to reconcile all their differences. It was determined, therefore, to continue the meeting today. Up to the time of closing yesterday the experts had made good progress, reaching an agreement on all but three or four reserved propositions. These, it is expected, can be agreed upon during the morning session today, so that the expert report can be signed and the meeting concluded so far as the experts are concerned. This will make available all the data necessary for considering the vital diplomatic question of stopping plegalc sealing.

The intention is that Colonel Foster. Sir Wilfrid Laurier and Sir Louis Davies will meet this afternoon to go over the results reported by the experts, and if possible agree up- or. a basis of settlement. The outcome of this diplomatic meeting continues 1:0 be much in doubt. It intimated last night that the Canadians might make a counter-proposition not going as far as the Aemerican representatives desire in the way of limiting pelagic sealing, but yet offering a possible ground for amicable adjustment.

Equally reliable sources stated that if the issue assumed the form of pelagic sealing or no pelagic sealing, as now- seemed likely, it would be extremely difficult to reconcile the differences. In view of the continuance of the meeting Sir Wilfrid ar.d Sir Louis will not leave until tcT.ight or tomorrow. Secretary She-mar, acting through John A- Kasjon. is prepared to submit to Sir Wilfrid Laurier and Sir Louis Davies two propositions which, if agreed to. will open the way to negotiations for reciprocity.

proposal? are: 1. Ar. agreement to suspend sealing for one year. 2. The beginning of negotiations for the permanent suspension of pelagic sealing.

The Canadians are not disposed to accept these conditions, because it means a monopoly of killing- for thojA nations which have' islands to which the seals resort. These nations it is hardly necessary to say are the United States, Russia and Japan, and naturally they are in favor of pelagic sealing. TTefers Gets a Scotch Terdict, New York.

For Instance, Govejpior, Shootlns Segraei In Some Arkansas Counties. Little Rock, Nov. The governor of Arkansas is the first chief magistrate to disapprove of the game of foot ball. In a letter to President J. L.

Buchanan, of the state university at Fayetteville, Governor Jones takes the recent game between the Port Smith and state university teams as a text and strongly condemns the sport as brutal recommends that there be a stop put altogether to the playing of tha game by the students of the state university. The governor is ex-oflicio president of the state university board of trustees. He says in his letter: "In my opinion the higher civilization which we profess is entirely Inconsistent with the toleration of such a game, and therefore it being inexpedient to call a meeting of the board of trustees, I deem it may duty to call your attention to this matter and respectfully suggest that you put a stop altogether to the playing of this game by the students of the state 1 SIRUP MIXERS MEET AT CHICAGO.

The sirup mixers of Chicago and other cities between the Alleghanies and the Missouri river met here 'yesterday and organized the Western Sirup Refiners' association and proceeded to devise ways and means of protecting their business from utter demoralization.

BtOOD STAIN ON' NOETH DAKOTA XVhich the Chief Justice of the State Savn Should Wiped Out, bnt Which Xe-rer One of the Declared Innocent, -with Abundant Testi- to Sustain the Sow in a Dilemma, St. Paul, Nov.

Grand Forks, N. special to The Pioneer Press says: "An innocent man was hung by lynchers at Williamsport," was the startling statement made yesterday by Chief Justice Corliss, of the state supreme court. "I have ample documentary evidence to the statement," continued the judge. "The supreme court ordered a new trial in Coudot's case because it appeared that he was convicted on the uncorroborated evidence of Koiytrack and Ireland, both of vi'hcm confessed to taking part in the murder of the Spicer family, and whose statements were refuted by the strong alibi testimony given by Dr. Ross, the resident agency physician at Standing Rock.

Dr. Ross' veracity is unquestioned, and his testimony is supported by notes from his memorandum book. Another fact is that Holytrack and Ireland made two other previous confessions, in neither of which they Coudot. Holytrack and Ireland were sure to have expiated their crime on the gallows, as there was no question of their guilt, but the mob made no distinction and hung the innocent with the guilty. The lynching of Coudot is a foul crime and a blot on the fair name of the state, and hi5 murderers should not so unpunished." Killed All the State Witnesses.

St. Paul, Nov. Bismarck, N. special to The Dispatch, says: An interesting legal question is presented by th.2 lynching of three of the Spicer murderers. Two of the and the state's witnesses, and without their testimony the state has no case against the two surviving murderers.

There is, therefore, now no possibi'itvof convicting them before any tribunal for the reason that the state's accomplices in the dead. At the coming term of court when the two men are arraigned for trial they must be dismissed. The feeling against Blackhawk has been intensified by the report that Coudotconfessed before his hanging that Blackhawk and Defender were concerned in the crime, Prediction Is Probably Correct. It has been the opinion of large number of people in Emmons county that Blackhawk was the instigator of the crime. If he is discharged it is predicted that unless he has an escort out of the ountry he will share the fate of his comrades in crime.

A coroner's inquest will probably make formal inquiry into the cause of the deaths. It is claimed that a majority of the lynchers was from Winona, where crime was committed, but nothing certain is known, as none of the men Siave been identified. QfHcers Are Also Impotent Governor Briggs has been communicated with as to the lynching, but nothing- has been heard from him at this writing. Inquiry at the executive office elicited the fact that nothing- had been done in regard to the lynching, as it was not known what action could be taken that would have any effect. Further particulars of the affair may disclose some action that can be taken.

The authorities at Fort Tates and the Indian authorities at Standing Rock were not aware of the lynching until Sunday night. Two of the men lynched were wards of the government, and the lynching may bring about some action by the government to discover by whom they were lynched. Out of Iteacli of Mob law Xow.
