WASHINGTON , Nov. 22. There is.
good reason to believe that the British
government will view with favor the
formation of a commission to clear
up vexatious questions between the
United States and Canada. The atti
tude will be important in the consum
mation of the commission plan , for
the best efforts of the United States
and Canada toward a general settle
ment could come to naught unless the
imperial government approved the ef
forts and stood ready to give them of
ficial execution in the form of a
treaty.
At first the sharp differences aroused
by the recent Bering sea meeting led
to the belief that Great Britain might
stand in the way of a commission
which would discuss , among other
questions , such imperial subjects as
die tariff. England has been tenacious
in holding the advantage secured by
Canada's preferential British tariff ,
and it is thought the colonial office
at London would not view with favor
ny movement by a commission which
vould disturb this peaceful prefoien-
ial tariff.
It appears , however , that the Brit
ish authorities are sincerely anxious to
close up the various irritating ques
tions which have long existed be-
cween Canada and the United States
through the medium of a commissioner
or otherwise , and that no idea is en-
certained that when the commission
dealt with the imperial subject of the
tariff it would involve any disturbances
of the British-Canadian tariff rela- *
tions. There are said to be many arti
cles , such as coal and fish , which are
not exchanged between Great Britain
and Canada. On such articles , there
fore , any reciprocal arrangement be
tween the United States and Canada
would have no influence in British
trade in Canada.
The home government is said to be
fully conscious of the advantages
which Canada may secure in the ex
tensive American market lying along
its borders and there is understood to
be every desire to aid Canada in the
enjoyment of reciprocal trade with
this country.
Already the British ambassador has
been authorized from London to begin
negotiations for reciprocity treaties
between the United States and the
British West Indian colonies. This is
cited to show the favor which the
London authorities exhibit toward se
curing the best reciprocal advantages
for British colonies. It is said the same
view would prevail as to Canadian rec
iprocity. In any event , the work of a
commission would be preliminary only
and it woulld remain for the British
government to give it effect by formal
treaty.
The subjects other than the tariff ,
such as border immigration , fishing in
the lakes , etc. , are not of an imperial
character and concern only the
United States and Canada. In these it
is said that Great Britain has no in
terest whatever , except to see them
settled on terms satisfactory to Can
ada. The lake fisheries have been a
prolific source of trouble. It is claim
ed that the fish of the lakes , particu
larly the white fish , are being exter
minated by the lax laws of some of
the states bordereing on the lakes. The
destruction of the fish is said to be an
alogous to the destruction of the seals
in Bering sea , and one of the subjects
which Canada would urge before the
commission would be the protection of
the fisheries of the lakes.
The Dead Comes to Life Ajrain.
CEDAR RAPIDS , la. , Nov. 22. A
special to the Republican from Seattle ,
Wash. , says : Charles Wood , who re
cently came here from Vinton , la. ,
walked into the police station and
stated that he had met and talked with
Edward Murray , for whose murder
Frank Novak is now being tried in
Iowa. Wood said there could be no
mistake about it ; that he not only
saw Murray but met and shook hands
and talked with him in a saloon. They
had talked but a few minutes together
when Murray stepped to the door , as
if to call a friend , and went out and
failed to return. Though Wood
searched all over town he could find
no trace of the man again. He at
once reported the matter to a man
whom he believed to Ue a police of
ficer , but he was not , and did not give
it to the police until tonight. The po
lice are looking for Murray. Chief of
Police Read wired the sheriff of Ben
ton county for full particulars of the
case and got several telegrams in re
turn. Every effort will be made to dis
cover Murray. Wood says he has
known Murray for years and he was
there at the time of the burning of
Novak's store and knows all the par
ticulars. Wood is apparently a man
of standing and his woi'd is believed.

of Prof. Andree , although exploring
parties landed ten times at various

THOUSANDS STARVING.
IMtlalilo Condition of tlio Cubans tn the
Towns on the Island.
NEW YORK , Nov. 22. A special to
the World from Havana says :
In every town in Cuba where there
are American citizens , groups of starv
ing islanders gather every day In
front of the houses of those Americans
and beg for the crumbs. That Ameri
cans have anything on their tables
from which crumbs could fall is due
to the relief fund of $50,000 voted last
spring by congress.
Consul General Leo has drawn so
far about $25,000 of the total amount.
There are 1,100 Americans on the re
lief list. Of these about 250 are Amer
ican born. The others are naturalized
citizens , and their families , who hav
ing had their citizenship papers prop
erly registered at the different United
States consulates , are entitled , if in
distress , to the same relief as Ameri
can born citizens.
According to a statement made by
Consul Baker , who is stationed at Sa-
gua , about 10,000 people are being kept
alive in Cuba by these rations , dis
tributed for the support of 1,400.
Neighbors gather around the front
door of the houses of American cit
izens and beg a share of the food that
comes from the consulates. Where
suffering is general , these appeals are
not in vain , and the scant supply of
rice , jerked beef and bread is made to
do service for five instead of one.
There are no markets in any but
the bigger cities , because nothing is
produced to supply them , and no one
has money. Misery is universal , and
suffering is everywhere , and the
death rate goes up higher and higher
eacli day. In the town of Sagua , where
there is a population of about 20,000 ,
the death list for five years before
the Avar was 500 a year. In the month
of August of this year 048 persons
died of starvation alone.
Consul Brice , stationed at Matan-
zas , reports that since July 1 , 27,000
persons have died in his district. Gen
eral Blanco's order's to allow the pa-
cifico's to cultivate land outside the
military lines would diminish suffer
ing , if the people had the strength
and the implements Avith which to
work , but they have neither , and Wey-
ler's scheme to exterminate the people
is rapidly proving successful.
It is generally believed in Havana
that Blanco has received orders from
Madrid to do everything possible to
prevent starvation reports from go
ing to the United States , and Minister
Dupuy de Lome has urged him to is
sue proclamations and orders that Avill
conA'ey the idea that the new regime
Avill take care of the non-combatants ,
and stop the present appaling death
rate.
Cannot Come to Agreement.
WASHINGTON , Nov. 22. There is
no immediate prospect of the conclu
sion of reciprocity negotiations be-
tAveen the United States and France.
Both goA'ernments have presented
elaborate statistics to show their re
spective positions in any reciprocity
arrangement , but the matter has not
progressed to the point Avhere an
agreement can be foreseen.
Having presented the French side of
the case from every standpoint. M. Pa-
tenotre , the French ambassador , has
iioav referred the question back to his
government and is aAvaiting instruc
tions. He had hoped to conclude the
negotiations before departing to his
new post at Madrid , but this seems
hardly likely , owing to the many de
lays which are occurring.
He had expected to leave the lat
ter part of this month , but may defer
his trip until the latter part of De
cember. Mme. Patenotre Avill not go
until spring , owing to the severity
of an ocean trip in midAvinter.
The neAV French ambassador , M.
Cambon , Avill leave Paris December 15 ,
arriving here about the first of the
neAV year. Mme. Cambon will not come
to this country during the first year
of the ambassador's service.
As the reciprocity question is now
before the authorities at Paris it is
likely that Mr. Cambon Avill receive
personal instructions and come here
fully conversant with the question.
In the course of the negotiations an
intimation has been made by the
United States officials that a relaxation
of the French restrictions on Ameri
can meat products Avould be helpful
in forwarding the reciprocity agree
ment.
