NEGOTIATIONS WITH CANADA.

Why the Reciprocity ArrangementsWere Not Concluded.

110TECTI05 FOR AMERICA*PRODUCTS.

Canadian Ministers Sot Willing to Discriminateigainst treat Britain—The Subject

Still Inset

Fpfclal to The Morning Call

Ottawa, Out, March 22.— 1n the Com-mons to-night Foster made his budgetspeech, the most interesting point being thetrade relations with the United States. lie»»id that during the receut visit of theCanadian Ministers to Washington they hadottered Secretary Blame full and free reci-procity on all products. Secretary Blameand General Foster, after consideration,said ithad been made a sine qua non on thepart of the United states during all the ne-gotiations for reci. rocity that not only thenatural products but also the manufacturedarticles of each country should be put uponthe most, favored nation principle, and inthe case of Canada it would be especiallynecessary for United States manufacturersto be protected against Great Britain's com-petition, as that nation was the UnitedStates' great and almost only competitor.

The Canadian Ministers replied that theycould not discriminate against the mothercountry, and suggested a return to the nat-ural-product reciprocity treaty of 1854.After further consultation Mr. Blame sawno way out of the dilemma but of makingCanada's tariff uniform with that of theUnited States. It was evident that theonly way to adjust the differences was forthe Canadian Government to make theirtariff coincide with that of the United Stateson all points. Bo long as this policy wasobserved by the United States it was use-less for Canada to try any other plan ofreciprocity than that laid down by Blaise.

It w.is evident that, the only scheme hewould cons to would be that of includ-ing the manufactures as well as the naturalproducts. Itmisfit be well for the peopleand tin- country that this matter was set atrest. Let Canada for the future have a fairidea of what she lad. to do and where todiscriminate in doing fo. Canada had tomeet a market. Let her meet her nationalmarket— the market of Great Britain. Itmight be in the near future In this, war oftariff-*, which needed care and attention,that Canada would have, to stretch out ahand to the country that helped her andgive a fair and preferential treatment toGreat Britain.

EXGINEKKS DISSATISFIED.

Lives In Dancer From Green TrainmenIn the -Mountain Section*.

Seattle, March—

A special to thePost Intelligencer from New Westminster,]>• C, says there is nothing new so far ascould be learned to-day in the strike of theCanadian Pacific Railway trainmen. Theattitude of the strikers has been above re-proach since they quit work. They haveinterfered in no way with the men who areattempting to keep the service going, norare they likely to. They are confident ofwinning in the end and tbe public are Insympathy with them; that is, so far as themen on this division aro concerned. Thecompany lias a large force of special con-stables in their employ, presumably togo rd their property.

Further and perhaps more startling de-velopments may take place in the next dayor two. The motive engineers in themountain sections are not at all satisfied torisk their lives on trains managed by inex-perienced mm, and, unless the green handsare shortly replaced, it is quite likely theywill decline to take out their engines untilsuch time as they can do so In salt-ty.Traffic, except local, Is almost at a stand-still. No freight worth mentioning is bnnehandled, and thiough freight is canceled a 1the way from Winnipeg west. The meatmarkets are only partially so piled.

WILLIAMS BAD TEMPER.

Stormy Scenes at the Cabinet Councilin Germany.

THE RAISER IMLTS HIS PREMIER.

Caprivi Desires to Lme the Cabinet— The Em-peror Ordered Into Retirement by

His Physicians.

fpeclal to Thy Mornino Call

New York, March 22.—The Herald'sspecial correspondent cables from Paris asfollows: 1 am able to give you to-day newswhich is absolutely reliable regarding theEmperor's illness and the political crisis atBerlin. The Emperor has been in sucha state of abnormal excitement forthe past fortnight that he has shuthimself *in his private apartment andhas refused to grant an audienceto any one. The attack* of the press on theloi ecolaire and on the troubles inBerlinstill arouse him to anger, but what has ex-cited him more than auy thing else is a letterwhich he has received from a schoolfellowof the Cassel Lyceum. The writer is nowa professor at Tubingen, and has alwayskept on the best possible terms with theEmperor.

Inhis letter he sharply criticized the 10lecolaire and said that the speech at Bran-denburg would antagonize the Emperor'sfriend?, who had placed all their hopes onhim. The letter reached the Emperor onthe I6tb iiist. ACabinet council was held onThursday. During the session the Em-peror did not say a word, and when he sawthat his Ministers were opposed to his planhe wade a sign that he was willing to stiveit up.

When, however, Capri vi said, "YourMajesty, order of the day has been passed."he arose and burst iuto a violent harangue inwhich he insulted the Ministers and usedsuch bitter language toward Canrivl thatin a visit to the latter. Prince Henry, theEmperor's brother, found it necessary toapologize for the rereism's conduct.

Caprivi still holds office, but he is veryanxious to resign. The entire court, how-ever, in.«i*ts that he shall remain at ihebead of affairs at least until the Emperor'shealth is re-established and the Emperorhimself is equally urgent on theground that a change would cau>econfusion in the Foreign Office. ABerlin dispatch says that the foreignsituation has never been more disturbed.

Here is the plain truth in regard to theEmperor's health. The official dispatchesare right in saying thai the Emperor has acold, but they omit to say that suppuratingwound in his ear, which ha 9been closedsince October, suddenly reopened recentlyand a discharge began to Bow. causing in-tense pain and rendering the Emperor sonervous thai his physicians found it ueccs-sary to prescribe for htm an entire changeof surroundings and solitudp. lie does notccc any one nt the Chateau Hubertu3.

The Grand Duke Sereins of Russia passedyesterday through Berlin and asked to seethe Emperor. He was told that ilia Em-peror, in accordance with his physician'sinstructions, could not receive him. Inwell-informed circles people are talkingabout the necessity for a regency, andamong diplomatists it is said that Prince11. inv is becoming everyday more popular,Itis possible that the Emperor may returnto Berlin. Mit he is certainly very illnow.The official world Is beginning to be veryuneasy. Fears are entertained that Williamii ;iv-r-ck vent for bis excitement outsideof Germany, and the same fears are enter-tained in London.

THE GERMAN CRISIS.Chancellor Yon Capriii to Retain Ills Min-

isterial Office.

Beblin, Much 22.—1t I* reported thatEmperor William has informed the Emperorof Austria an the King of Italy that Cap-rivi willremain In office and will retain theposts of Chancellor of the Empire andPrussian Foreign Minister, nut will resignhis position as President of the PrussianCouncil.

Dr. Bergmann proposed a slight operationto relieve Emperor William of an aural af-fection, but Btl Majesty's physician de.dined to consent, believing the operationwould only result in transferring the local-ityof the malady, which is now quiet. Itis not true that anything serious is the mat-ter with the Emperor.

London, March _'_'. —ABerlin correspond-ent lias telegraphed : Zediitz-TraUsehlerhas refused to withdraw Ills resignation.( :ipnvihas not resigned, but has placed hisportfolio at Hie Emperor's order*. Nothingwill be settled In te^ard to the trouble aris-ing from the primary education bill untilthe Emperor returns fromHnbertosstoeft atthe end of the week. The general opinionin official circles is there will be noalteration in Caprlvi's position, nor isitbelieved tiie Prussian Diet will be dis-solved.

Philadelphia, March 22.—The SupremoCourt has affirmed the decision of the Courtof Common Pleas of Philadelphia County inlavorof Mr?.

This product issaid to have substantially the same proper-ties an class, resisting the action of. saltsand alkalies and of dilute acids, besidesbeing inodorous and transparent. ItJin*,however, the advantage of being flexibleand infrangible to a great degree, while Itsinflammability is much loss than that of itscollodion prototypes. It13 so simply madethat the photographers can undertake theprocess of manufacture for themselveswithout much difficulty.

The compound, whenpoured on a glass plate and subjected to thedrying action of a current of air of about 50dec.

The galleries were crowded when, at 12:20o'clock p. m.; the bill was called up underthe resolution of the Committee on Rules.

Tracey of New York raised a point oforder against the bill being .considered inthe House, holding that as the preparationof coin notes by the treasury for the ex-change of bullion involved an expenditureby the treasury, the bill should be consid-ered incommittee of the whole.

The SpeaKer held as the bill did not makea specific appropriation it should not beconsidered in the committee of the whole.Itwas agreed that evening sessions shall

be held to-day and to-morrow.litanri'a Spi-nch.

"This bill," said Bland, iv opening thediscussion, "proposes to go back 100 yearsIn the matter of coinage. It i* just 100years age the wise founders of this Govern-ment adopted a double standard. Theyprovided for the coinage of gold and silverwithout limit at the mints of the UnitedStates; Unit silver ch<u!d be coined theIMe as gold, and should have the same ad-vantages Knd the same recognition, anathat the silver dollar should consist of371.04 grain* of silver, precisely the dollarof silver called for in this bill This billprovides that gold and silver shall tiecoined at the ratio fixed by the net of 1837,called th« 'ratio of 16 to I,' or more « x-actly 'l^.'.is to I.' This bill provides thatI! Id and silver snail be equal at the mints.[Applause.] in order that this equalitystiould be preserved itis necessary that sil-ver should be put on the same plane in re-gard to ti:e Issue of certificate? at the minta? gold." Blaud here sent to the clerk'sdesk a letter from the Director of the Mintslating that the cost of coining silver wouldbe ah( at l*:,cents per dollar ;that $43,000,---000 could be coined every year.

Inconclusion lilund said: "1 appeal tothe geutletuen on this tioor to lay asideevery idea of party exicency; every ideabut that which is right aid jus*, and casttheir votes accosding to the dictates oftheir consciences and pledges they made tothe great productive masses of this country ;if they do the billis safe— tiio cause is won.[Applause.]

At the conclusion of Bland's s:>tiech Tay-lor of Illinois (II.) claimed the right toopen the debate in opposition as represent-ing the only party opposed to free coinage.

William*. However, was accorded theprivilege by th« Speaker, because he hadpresented the views 01 the minority.

William*' Krply.

"Iam acting." said William?, "inbehalfof a cause which, so iar as 1 know,k: ,;*« n->tM!rty, • '"i* »\u25ba\u25a0 a himre question ofpatriotism on both side.*." [Applause.]Continuing, Williams said muuy mem-bers el the House would feel obliged to votefor free coinage, although they d.d not be-lieve in it, because their constituents soInstructed them. He believed the presentstandard better than a fluctuating standard,better than a constantly falling standard.•"Gold is the standard of nearly all the na-tions of Europe, and wl en we declare forthe free coinage of silver where will goldgo V It will go to \u25a0 premium, and thepremium upon gold is a discount uponsilver. The rest el the world will fix thedepreciation upon silver according to themarkets of the world, and our standardwill then be 70 ceuts to the dollar. Thatmeans repudiation ;it mean? the throw ingof this country into the dishonest settle-ment of every debt contracted upon ourpresent gold basis." [Applause.]In concluding, Williams presented a sub-

stitute bill of the minority providing lor aninternational monetary conference.

'

Ilarter's Arguni-ut.

Representative llarter of Ohio, also aDemocrat, speke hi opposition to the bill.He insisted the Biaiid bill, instead of in-creasing the volume of money in circula-tion, would, in ivresult?, actually decreaseit through depreciation.

Continuing, Harter said that "sin:e 1573we i.iv» niinied $729,000,000 in gold, or anaverage of over $40,000,000 per year. Underthe Bland bill this would eensa and freecuiUMtre would drive out our gold and leavewhat reiuuiurd a merchandise, as wheat,corn ami cotton are. The unlimited coin-age of gold and silver on the ratio of 1G t>i1would drive out (oMbeeau>e it would un-dei value it. Gold sells in all parts of thuworld [or 89L86 lime-, its weight in silver,and, ifunder free coinage we only give itthe value of 10, all human experience showswe would have no gold in circulation.This billis not free coinage; it is a pure andpimple bill to compel the people of theUnited States to buy the entire product ofti>e silver mfaMS at a profit to their wealthyowners from 150 to **> per cent. 1 submitthat an equally mad proposition neversecured the assent of any legislative body inthe world, and if itpasses this House, nowthat its provisions are laid bare, it willbe arecord which willcomo back to plague andshame its members down to the hour theygo into their cofliiu."

1. i•. in r"*Hi•|iini««>.

Rayncrof Maryland, also a Democrat, saidthe mine-owners, who would be given eigh-teen millions a year more profit than now be-ing made, could well afford to inundate Con-gress with whole libraries of literature, andemploy host* of lobbyists to advance andpromote this scheme. When the mints wereopened and 70 cents could be coined into aGovernment dollar, would the people getany of it? No. Every dollar profit wouldgo deep down into the pockets of the Nevadaand Colorado millionaires.

Tracey of New York at tills point an-nounced the election of Roger Q. Mills asUnited States Senator from Texas. Theanti-lrep-coinaßc men were particularly en-thusiastic in the applause, na they regardMills as .opposed to the Bland bill.

Taylor'* Proposition.

Abner Taylor of Illinois then took thefloor and offered an amendment that nilpensions be paid in gold. Speaking of thepurpose of thn trainers of the bill, whichwas to placo this country on a silver -basisand let it stand side by side withIndia,Mexico aud China, he said he repre-sented the only party opposed to thismeasure, the Republican party. He ad-mired the Democratic party for the facilitywith which itcot on both Rides of the ques-tion. When the bill reaches the Senate andIs up for a vote the gentleman who wouldprobably be nominated in Chicago (Hi11)would couvbniently be in the cloakroom orout on an excursion. [Laughter. J Then theDemocratic party would .straddle the ques-tion. The gentleman from Missouri wouldtell his people he was for free coinage, andhis mugwump friend from Massa-chusetts (Williims) would tell his peoplethat he was against it. Such, wasthe great facility with which theDemocratic party got on both sides of aquestion. This bill would enable thewealthyclass 10 pay laborers 70 cents' worthof silver for a dollar's worth of toil.

Crawford of North Carolina spoke insupport of the bill and Stevens of Massa-chusetts (a Democrat) recorded against it ivthe name of his constituents a most em-phatic protest As a Democrat, speakingfrom a Democratic standpoint, he feltobliged to raise his voice ngainst this meas-ure, which proposed one of the most stu-pendous propositions ever presented to theAmerican Ctingres*. Public \u25a0 redit was toboused to enable the ring of silver specu-lators to unload their products upon theAmerican people. [Applause.] ..Pending the conclusion ol his remarksthe House took a recess uutil7:30 o'clock inthe evening.

San Diego, March 22.—The Transconti-nental Association is still in session andprobably willbe all the week. Sessions arestill conducted with absolute secrecy.Chairman Viiiingsaid to an AssociatedPress representative this evening that it isutterly impossible to give out any informa-tion. The association meets as a committee,he say?, "to consider complaints and tomake recommendations, which are sub-mitted to the managers of the roads repre-sented, and, as the businesses of a privatenature to these roads, nothing can be givenout. Considerable important business isnow before the association, and it may re-quire a long session."

To-day Messrs. Langley, Eirl and Buck,extensive dealers in California fruit, werebefore the association either in person OX byrepresentatives and presented tiie cause ofthe fruiimen and shippers, asking for re-duced rates to the East. The argumentswere much in line with tho-e madeby E. L. Goodsell on the previous day.Neither Chairman Vining nor auy memberof the association would give the slight-est intimation of what action the asMjcia-tion would take or what recommendationswould be made to the managers of the sev-eral transcontinental lines respecting fruit-rates. Fruitnieu are inclined to tsike a san-guine view and to believe that the recom-mendations willfavor reduced rates ou per-ishable fruits.

THE BOSTONIANS."Robin Hood

"I'resented to• Large and

Enthusiastic Audience.The Bald auditorium had all thepeopla

last evening itcould comfortably contain t«welcome this favorite English opera troupe,and enjoy the popular DeKoven-Smith work."Rubin Hood," with which the name of lhacompany ia now everywhere associated. Itis rarely, we venture to say, that any organ-ization of singers is faced by such a mass ofenthusiastic listeners as assembled at thoBaldwin Theater on this opening night. Allthe old artists— U. C. Barnabee, particularly—were wildlygreeted, and all the. membersreceived from three to four encores, bymeans of which the performance was ex-tended to more than usual length. We findno ptiange in the vocal capacity of the indi-vidual members of the troupe; we find agreat improvement in the cuorus and en-semble music.

TUB NEW miMA DONNA,Camille d'Arville, who assumed the role ofM..id Marian, captivated the audience atonce by her graceful and vivacious action.Her voice Is not a great one; it is even andquite up to the. demands of the score. Herfresh and handsome face, lithe and at thesame time compact figure, were quite asgood curds of introduction to the favor ofher auditors as her vocal gifts. Some of hersolos— '"Neath the greenwood tree," in thesecond act, and the "Churning song." andtie duet with Robert, "Though it waswithin this hour we met," were applaudedand encored. Flower-; were flung to herfrom the proscenium boxes, and altogether.

Miss d'Arviile was tho favorite of th« hour.MISS JESSIE BAKTLETT-DAVIS

Had a ri4Ut royal welcome from her frien isand professional admirers, for she ieflmaufbehind her after her last visit to thu coastHer full, rich and true contralto was heardto fine advantage in "The Promise" aria,which appears to be an introduced number,and also in "The BAla of St. Swltuin."Her acting was easy and full of purpose atAllau-a-Dale, one of Houd's outlaws ialove with the coquettish Annabel.

THi;MALE BINGKRSWere Tea Karla9R bin Hood, 11. C. Bar-nabee as the of Nottingham, \V. ILMcDonald as LittleJoiin, Eugene Cowlea a*Will Scarlet, George B. Frothingham atFriar Tuck and Peter Ling as Guv of Gis-borne. There was no fault to be foundwith any of them. Each singer in his placafilled it admirably. If aa exception iapoint of excellence miglit ba made itwouldhe in favor of Eugene Cowles, whose m:ii»-nibceut bass it was a doiight to hear in "A.tailor then dwelt near old Sherwood's edge,"and the armorer* song, "Let hammer eaanril ring, ring, rluu." -with wnlcn vie Hilt*and last act opens. The improvement in Mr.Cowles' case is very marked since the lasttime weheard him with the Bostouians. The*he was spoken of as the legitimate AmerUcan successor to Myron W. Whitney. Hais more than that no»v. Whitney could nevervoice the amifrer's song as Cowles didlast evening. The sons of "Brown, Octo-ber Ale," which W. H. MacDonald sin^s aaLittleJohn in the forest scene of the secondact, was a masterly piece of work, both inthe solo and chorus parts. This appears tobe a special favorite, and was received wit*a temp -it of applause. Itwas called forthree times and as the refrain died awayamong the fruit trees, tho gods in the gal-lery made an effort to get the singertback again for anothor round. Thacomic business was in tiie hands of H. C.Barnabee, as the Sheriff, and Desides pos-sessing a pleasant siDging voice, he provedhimself a thoroughly acceptable low come-dian. Assisted by Josephine Bartlett asD.ime Durden, he relieved the romautiepassages of the opera and keDt the house iaa roar. The tiukers' song and scene, "TisMerry Journeymen We Are." was irresisti-bly funny as he ed it, especially the dumbchorus. This hit was honored with six re-calls and then tho audience ware not tireiof it. Friar Tuck wa9 well sustained dtGeorge B. Frothingham. Mr. Tom Karl(Robin Hood) had a good deal of vocal workto do, from the time he emers in the first actwith "Inthe leafy shades of the woodlandglades"; but his or^an seemed more thaausually capable to meet the responsibility.Karl is a ftinget who fi-ashes better than hebegin*. He is apt to be a little elose-throated at the start, but as he proceedsbreadth and flexibilityare developed. Thabest thing he diJ was the serenade in thesec( nd act—"The troubadour sang to hitlove." Taken altogether, "Robin Hood"was never better sung, we thiuk, by thaBostoniaus than it was last evening. Aitthe singers appeared to be on their mettle;and there Is probably a reason for this. Th&O! era will be repeated this evening, wi:bMiss Carrie Hamilton Millzner in ihe ro!aof Alaid Marian. There will without doubtbe a crowded attendance.
