With the return Bir Wilind Laurier and the various cabinet ministers 10 the Canadian. capital and with the recent arbitration: ut The Hague elim- inating the Newfoundland fisheries dis- pute from all controversy, the ways have been cleared for negotiations for commercial agreements between Can- ada and Newfoundland respectively on one side and the United States on the other, U. 8. Beoretary of State Knox, four months ago, advised the Ottawa gov- ernment, through the British . em- bassy, of the rendiness of the United States 10 negotiate in accord with the understanding reached when Canada was granted minimum tariff rates, and in tarn, conceded to the United States intermediate tarill rates, The formal negotiations were deferred on account of the absence of Premier Laurier on a trip through the North-west, and Minister of Finance Fielding on a trip to England. It is suggested here that the Ottawa cabinet have not yet had time since their return to consider re- ciprocity negotiations, but may take action. shortly, As to Newfoundland, informal interchange of views indicate a probable satisfaclory agreement, now that the protracted fisheries irritation has been removed.

Taylor Discovers Fire in Casino Moving Picture Theatre at Mont real, and Has Audience Dismissed Before Reels Arrive. Montreal, Sept. 30.--~The presence of mind of Capt. Taylor, of the fire bri gade, alone prevented a panic at the Casino moving picture theatre, here, yesterday morning.
