Reciprocity With Mexico Also to be Sought by Uncle. Sam----Canada's British Relations Under Considera- tion, A New York, May 25.-The American has the following from its Washington vorrespondent ! Certain negotiations, which are not obtainable in detail, between Canada umd the United States, indicate that the effort to secure reciprocal trade relations between the two countries will be successful. Immediately after this reciprocal * treaty ie arrange] the United States government will endeavor to conclude un similar agreement with Mexico, It is admitted by al' the officials that the best thing for the United States is to bind to herself by special treaties all her great =r:1 powerful neighbors on the south and the north. President Taft, at Buffalo, Pittsburg nnd elsewhere, came out strongly for the hest trade relations with Canada aid he has even engaged the attention | of the British embassy design. It. is said in the State De. partment the ultra conservatives in Great Britain hold that the closer the relations are betweer the United States and Usnada the more will that great | colonial domain driit away from the mother country. This sentiment, however, is not , strong enough to wmpair the force of the mutual sentiment of Canada and the United States for such a treaty. It is stated very broadly here that no one in London will be hold enough to declare openly that close relations be- tween Canada and the United States will ultimately mean the loss to the 'ninion to Growi. Britain, has no reciprocity treaty with Mexico since 1866. This, officials believe, shquld bo remendied, bocanse Mexico is a growing nation and the closest relations should exist between the United States and the nearest and greatest American republic.

Siogfreid, Pa., May 28.--Mrs, Katie Keck, an undertaker, forty-three years old, succesded, yesterday, in commit- ting suicide, this being her third at- tempt. A week ago she took an over- dose of carbolic acid and was saved, and on Saturday slashed her wrists with a knife.

Will See Fair Play. Ottawa, May 28.---That the govern ment will see fair play and insist up- on it whenever possible in cases where contractors on "government work fail to deal properly with their men, is in- dicated by a quotation from a letter by the minister of labor, Hon. Mr. Pugsley. The quotation is given in the intest issue of the Labor Gazette, in which he mentioned the case of a contracting firm on government work failing to pay a judgment for £3,000 for injuries to one of the men. The case was brought to the attentydd" of the minister of labor, who at once communicated with the firm and with the minister of public works. i STATUE FOR CAPITAL.

"Uibson was in the engine room bhe- Jow when the crash came," she said. Jeveral of the men called to him to Detroit, "come up on deck, and when he did not appear, Capt. Hennenger himsell went to the speaking tube connecting the pilot house with the engineers' _de- partment. " 'Un deck, at once, the boat is in no condition to be beached; she's leak- ing fast," he called down to his chief engineer. From . the darkness of the hold came a faint reply, acknowl- edging that the warning had been heard. But still Gibson stuck to his post. Then the Goodyear began to fill rapidly, and with a rush the water burst into the engine room and flood- ed it. A moment more and the vessel went down. Gibson was undoubtedly drowned like a rat in a trap."

A CANADIAN FLEET OF REVENUE CUTTERS TO PRE- VENT RAIDS On the Seal Rookeries Near the Pribyloft Islands--Large Number of Japanese Boats Exgites Sar- Victoria, B.C., May 28.~The sealing situation in the Pribylofi Islands pre sents the possibility of awkward com plications this season. Six Canadian sealing vessels cleared from here re cently for the North, expetting to hunt otter in'the Alasku Gulf. From the best information obtainable the Ja- panese will have fully fifiy vessels this season in Behring Sea. Many of the Japanese erafty it is learned, are provided with motor boats, and this fact gives rise to the surmise that there will be dctive attempts at raids ou the seal rockeries. Since Japan is not a party te the Paris convention the Japanese sealers are exempt from scarch in that part of the United States' patrol territory. They are ab solutely safe from any hindrance in Behring Sea other than within three miles of the Pribylofi Islands. The situation this vear is fraught with possible complications. The revenue cutters, it is understood, are in duty bound to prevent any raids on the islands, and it is likely that the law will be rigidly enforced. The revenue cutter Manning left Ladysmith this week for Unulaska, going north by wav of Dixon's Entrance. The Manning éarries Sémior Captain D, P. Foley, commandiog the Behring Sea patrol fleet, the headquarters pf which will be Unnlaska. The fleet this sea- son comprises the cutter Manning, the Pew, the Perry and Tahoma.
