( Special Tele gram to the Bit.l : The dUciuslon of the retaliation bill by congress has npp.ircntly Btlricd up the residents of the Dominion ot Cnnada. A rnuniber of the Dufforln guards. Eighty-eighth icgtmont , a volunteer mill- tary organization , u now In this city nnd last iiight said , regarding the preprtrallons , being made through lower Canada In the expecta tion of war bclnc declared , that n few days ago every pensioner of the Imperial service vtaa ordered under nrtni to bn ready to move to the front at a moment's notice. At Hrant- ford there nro 1,000 of those veterans nnd they arc drilling dally. At Hamilton there nio COO and nt various other points through | lower Canada are enough men to furnish a a standing nrmy of 5,000 men nt an hour'a ' notice. The excitement , ho says , Is great , r and through nil of the lower peninsula the militia Is getting In readiness for active ser vice. A Innro number ot Cana- dlans who have for years been making n good living on the American sldo will , U Is feared by the Canadians , operate to their disadvantage , as some of tlio best people In Cnnada have been obliged to remove to this country In order to obtain a decent living. The man added : "I nm liable If to bo called on myself to do duty In my own 1 regiment , but as 1 was nimble to cet work In Cannda 1 came to this country , and cxnect to fiecuru it In a few days. If 1 RO to work 1 will not tnko nny sides , nml I think there nro more here In thu same position. 1 hnvo been through various towns In southern Canada nnd 1 find them ready to tuko the Held , al though there is much fear o\cr the outcome. The linpoitnnco of the order to hold the pcn- fdoncrs ready will bo npprecintcd when It is known that the order canto from London. " The pccullnily exposed situation of Buf falo has created n great deal of Interest here ns to the outcome of thu fisheries dispute. Among the sailors the feeling 1' Intense , the tunny diflicnlties they have to encounter on the lakes in dcnllug with vessels wrecked on the Canadian nhoro making them anxious to nld In bringing Canada to terms. A trip through the eastern part of tills city along the waterfront shows that a strong feeling Is cherished. Many of the veterans are In readiness to volunteer In case their aid Is Decennary , but nothing will be done by them until It is seen that war cannot bo averted. Buffalo's safety will bo in n quirk movement to secure the lower peninsular of Ontario , nnd enough men from this region can be ob tained when it Is found necessary to protect this city. ACIIAVEJT rOMCY. 1fK\r Tonic. Feb. 1. [ Special Telegram to the URIC.J The following is the leading editorial in the Tribune this moniine ; "Pusillanimous talk In leirard to war with Great Britain over tlio lisheries outrages fihould not be encouraged. It is true that this country has a defenseless seaboard , which , In the event of hostilities with a for eign power , would Invite invasion. It Is nlio true that the United States navy Is In a deplorable condition and would bo unable to make a stand against the fleets of Great Britain. The defensulcss condition of the seaboard and the weakness of tlio navy are indisputable fncts. It is not necessary , how ever , lor the press to exaggerate tlio weak ness of the country und to make n craven exhibition of American help lessness. Defenseless ns Is the Bea- board and antiquated as Is the navy , it Is nevertheless true that the country is batter prepared for war over the fisheries outraKo than Knclnnd is today.Vo nav this not in a boastful spirit , but as tlio result of dellbcrato reflection. The southern frontier of the Dominion isceitalnlv ns exposed - posed to attack trom volunteer land forces , vh'ch this countrv could at once put Into the field , as the American seaboard Is to hostile naval demonstrations. Entry wanton net committed ou the coast , the bombardment of defenseless towns nnd the tiring of cities , could bo repeated ou Canadian territory in n spirit ot retalUtiou. No prophet Is needed to foietell ouo result ot thudeclaiation of war between England nnd tlio United States. A largo proportion of the British nrmy would bo immediately icquiiert for garrison duty In Kuulnnd. Not only would Ir shmen refuse to take up arms aninst the United States , but they would plot unceasingly ngnlnst the crown ftiid htrivo to establish nn Irish republic. From a war Involving the probable l ss of Canada und Ireland , Great Britlan , not America , has reason to slnlnk. No more do- nlorable event can bo Imagined than nn in ternational strife between Knitllsh spi'.iklng meos that mo separated by the Atlantic but bound together in Indissoluble ties. Wo bo- Hove that on cacti Mdu moral nnd Industrial .forces , nliko powerful In piovontini ; nn r > ut- Dreak of war , will continue tomuko for peace In this generation fora century in reserve. It Is unnecessary , however , lei n creat nation of fXCOO,000 to proclaim its abject helpless ness In event of war. That Is n craven and pusillanimous policy. " /V HOl'ISlj CniSItK'S JIAUIj.

[ Special Telegram to the BISE. ] The Times this morning saxs : Although the presidents of ttm trunk lines have agreed to meet to-morrow for the pur pose of discussing the inter-state commence hill , it is altogether unlikely that they will arrive at a dclinlte conclusion regarding the meaning of some of its most vital provisions. Most of them have already talked over tlm bill. They gave tlm greater part of two days to the work and were assisted by eight law yers of recociil-/cd ability. Tlmy had previ ously discussed the bill In a desultory fashion , but Thursday and Friday of last week they devoted their tlmo to close study of Its pro visions and then waited patiently for the conclusion arrived at by their counsel. Tlm eight legal gentlemen wore instructed testate state their definition of the ambiguous pro visions in it. Tlmy were not to pick Haws in it , but simply to explain its meaning on two points considered vital by the railroad man agers. The lawyers were evenly divided- four construed them in ono way and four in another. Tlm result was not e.\aclly satis factory to the railroad presidents. The latter had previously considered the bill on a par with tlm "fifteen pu/.zlo , " but alter heating the two sets ot legal opinions they decided that congress had the call not only on the In ventor of tlm "lifteen pu/7lo , " but upon all puzzles of ancient or modern times. In view of tlm result of this meeting it is not ex pected lh\t ; to-morrow's meeting will dclluon policy that all the loads will be satislied to adopt The general opinion among rnilrond nmn is that President Cleveland will sign the bill , but there ate many who think Im may retum it with a request that its ambiguous provision bo explained ; or Im may S4.v , as Provident Dccew , of the New York Central , nut it vesteiday : "Draft nn iufeistate coin- nierco'bill in plain English and I will Hign It. " If the bill is signed in its present shape tlm commissioners will bo requited by the ralhoads to construe Its doubtful provisions. How they should ba able to accomplish tlm task that has been found impossible by emi nent lawyers Is not clear to tlm railroads , but tlm latter will expect the performance of such a feat rather than rim the lisk ot w oik- Ing under tlm advice of their own counsel. - . A Tnlk with Jay Gould. Nr.w YOIIK , Feb. 1. [ Special Telegram to the BKK. ] Jay Gould arrived in New Yoik Sunday , after an absence of tlirco weeks spent In a thorough Investigation of his southwestern railroad system.

Theio Is something veiy nearly np- pro\ching ; n business boom at tlm west , and talk among nil classes is confident and cour ageous. No , 1 do not think that tlm people in tlm wcEt regard tlm strike hcio as a matter ot cieat tmpoitauco. As to tlm inter-state bill , tlmy hope to dcnvo gieat ndvnntnge from It. It is n rather curious fact that the people who will bo likely to suffer most from tlm practi cal operation of ttm mcasuioare miicli more heartilv in lavorof it than the people of the CJist 1 know llttlu about tlm probable action ol thu president , but a uUiuleh was shown to me ju.it now which stated that three membcis of tlm cabinet were opposed to it and tlm others were in favor ol it. 1 should think that the chances mo about even that tlm pru-s- Ident might sign or veto it. Congress may have tlm right to regulate commerce between tlm states : It can have no right to deleirato its authority to a third party , tlm commission that bill establishes. 1 Dtlunc this view will be maintained by the courts when tlm ques tion conies before them.

[ SpeeUl Tele gram to thu UiiJ : There \\ns n small tempest at the capltol this morning whrn It was discovered that the enrolled bill forfeit ing the Northern 1'aclfie land craut Imil been lost and some wild stories were told. 'Iho house passed a bill at the last session for feiting the lands of the Northern 1'acllle road west of the Missouri liver. The senate- amended the bill so that only those lands should bo foifelled thai had not been earned within the snlrlt ot the grant , and this cotercU only those on the Cas cade branch , alone which no track has been built. The usual course of appoint- In a committee ot confcicnco was taken Dolph , Teller and Cockroll on the part of the senate , and Uobb of Indiana , 1'nyson of Illinois and Van Eaton of Misiisslpp on the part of the home. They met and failed to iiBrce. Tlie-lact was reported to the house and the matter was dropped till yester day , when another conference was to be held , bnt was not , because the orlpinal man uscript of the bill could not be found. When last seen the bill was In the possession of Concrt'ssuinn Cobb , and ho does not remem ber what ho did with It , HP thinks Hint ho handed it to the clerk ot the hoitsuhen he Hindu the report of the committee of confer ence. The clerk says that Iho bill was re turned to Mr. Cobb , which the latter suvs may have been the case. The opinion pre vailing around the room of the committee on public lands Is that Mr. Cobb took the bill , laid It down somuu here and loft It to the ten der mercies of the inclement season. Mr. Cobb's iricmlb say that ho may Imvo laid it down on the window sill , where it could blow away , or Im may hue ; left It in a street car or on tlm counter ot the centleman who mixed his toddy , lie Is an absent-minded old Kcntlctunn and never Knows wliero his hat Is. Tnero Is pioba- bly no foundation ior the rumor that the opponents of the measure liavo destroyed It. Hut such thliiRs have boon done. In the the Fort } -fifth congress an import-ant part of the sundry civil appropriation bill was omit ted fem the parchment ropy which bore thi ? appiovalof the president , and an ln\ estima tion showed that it had been ilonu by aKcnLs of those interested in defeating that section of the bill.

The extension of the stiike to tlio freight handlers on the railroad piers of New York Is the most serious blow to commerce that the union men have struck. Tlm effect of It on one road , the New , Ier e } Central , it was admitt"d at the oflieo of tlm dock this innrnlnz , was almost complete sus pension of business. The men turned out so suddenly Hint the company was left at a gieat disadvantage , and its In ability to deliver frulnlil was the cause of much inconvenience to tlm merchants.

The Delawaio , hackawanna & western compa ny's trclfjht Is handled by the , ) . II.

Freight handlers on the Pennsylvania pleis along the North liver sent in a formal demand yesterday for an Increase of waees with the threat that they would strike to-day. They received no answer , and inconsequence struck. They sent a delegation to the office of Agent Ihmimi'ihoiefuscd to sco any except those reptesenting his o\sn employes. lie told them the company could not grant the advance. Howman told the committee who remained that the men would never be taken back. Seven men returned to work. The freight handlers of the Lehigh Valley railroad nt pier 2 , Noith river , numbering 150 men , struck at 3 o'clock tins afternoon.
