sail the United States policy of concluding reciprocity a ments with British porsessions might prove very dan- perous, an:l he urged that, as one step in improving the trale relations of different parts of the Empire, a system of reciprocity should be estahlimhed between Canada and Cups Colony, The Canalian Minister of prisé pui po that if a system .af inter natural lusts were - fected he would ilo hie.best to have it sdopied by the Dominion Parliament.Mr.Dobell & that if the Cape admitted Canadian timber free of duty, Canadas might I the duty om wool from the Cape; while preferential rates might be given, on the one side, to Canadian grain, ther, and cheese, and on the other sule to Cape wines, fruit, and feathers.It was rather curious that a repesl of the duty on wool should have been proposed, for unmanufactured wool is already free.But il ive of 1 that Lhe Times reports that the President of { the Chamber strongly objected to discrimin- | ation in favour of Canada, and favoured the Present policy of free trade among the countries of South Africa and a uniform revenue tariff on imports from the rest of the world.It they established preferential duties in favour of British Colonies only, the Free State and the Teansval would be shat out of , the South African Customs Union.Mr.; Jagger, who was a delegate to the lust conference in London, said that the best kind : of

at the lack of employment ia Quebeu, ealie:d the attention of thelaborers to some of the cuuses to which the present distress might be attributed.Many ships and much basiness bad been in the past driven away from Quebec hy the arhitrary rules f some >i the labir societies, aml work whica in orher ports had been done for \u20ac2 per day of tem hours hail heen charge! here at the rate of $250 aud upwards per eight hours.The Ministers believed there would bu less distress here in winter if demands fn summer xere less arbitrary.Tuis they sail in all kin-loess 10 the delegates, und ia the hope of preventing a coustant repetition of such demands aa the present in future winters, if efforts were made for the pecsent relief of existing distress.They then promised that the whole subject would be referred tos menting of tive Cabinet to be held to day.In addition to the above, Hon.Mr.Pelletier said that speaking as à Quebec Minister he looked with some lence for better times abeail for the city, especially in view of the pew hotel and of the 1 elevators and fast line of trans Atlantic steamships.And yet it was not without some appreben- sion that he crosidered tbe establishment of the improved steamship communication, ior fear that a repetition by the laborers of the mistakes of the past might l=ad these vesecls to make their summer as weli as their winter terminus at Halifax.He hoped the advice iven would be kindly taken and promised to 5 what he could iu concert with his ool.leagues to see if means could be found for acceding, in some degree at least, to their
