NEW YORK, November 29-An Ae-
sociated press' despatch from Wash- ington says:
Great Brilain’s official notification
that safe conduct for Count Tamow- ski, i.he new Austrian ambassador would not be granted was received today at the State Department. The reasons given substantially are the same as reported from London. The British note will not he made public, said Secretary Lansing. Several courses are now open to the United States. First, it may present the case in its own` name. lt was thought that while England might, have refused the request on the ground that it came from an enemy state, it would not refuse' one directly from- this country. There is the possibility that Count Tarnowski might start without. a safe conduct and with the challenge to remove a. diplomatic oillcer ac- credited to the United States. The United States holds the ambassador- is protected by his diplomatic im- munity, and any violation probably would involve this country in s. dis- pute.
POTATOES FROM PROVINCES
T0 G0 T0 BOSTON.
ST. JOHN, Nov. 28.- In sn effort
to relieve the stringency in the potato market thousands of bushels of po- tatoes will be shipped from the prov- inces to Boston within the next few weeks. The United States govern- ment has raised the ban placed on Canadian-grown potatoes on account of alleged diseased condition, and will allow the importation for local consumption under certain restric- tions. _
The potatoes received must be care-
fully inspected by an oiiicial of the Department of Agriculture, and those not found in good condition will be sent .back or destroyed. The duty is 10 cents a bushel, and a large staff of customs ofilcials are stationed at the Charlestown ‘ freight yards to watch the consignments.
The stsamship Halifax will take
20,000 sacks from Charlottetown this week, and she will be kept in service as long as possible in order to move the spuds, which have accumulated in great quantities in Prince Edward island. Owing to the shortage in vessel tonnage it is feared they can- not all be moved before winter.
importations are allowed only ut
Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Bal- timore, Detroit and Chicago where, special arrangements have been made by the government to have the potatoes inspected.
POLITICAL RECRUITB.
OTTAWIA, Nov. 27.-1 There was
held in Ottawa last week a qonven- tion of Liberals from the various counties in the Ottawa district. This convention was attended by be tween three and four hundred Liber- els. lt was held with the approval and active participation of the Liber- sl party leaders from Sir Wilfred Laurier down to the Hon. George P- Grsham. dt was, in short, a gathering of politicians, called' by party 0l”8Blll- zers, to talk politics and to get warm- ed up for a possible election.

'l`l\°y have chosen to give their un- divided attention to the wer, because it is the one great thing tha_t met- ters to tho Canadian people as a whole.

"I am not a Democrat either," he
said; "I em anti~saloon Republican."
For the man who does not solemnly
regard his oath, the evangelist ex- pressed contempt.
"There was old Daniel," he said.
"Daniel of olden times, who because he was faithful to`his‘ oath stood be- l.wee'n that gang and the treasury, in which it wanted to get its hands.
“The gang worked a shell game on
old King Herod to get Daniel to the :len of the lions, and Herod labored until the” going down of the aun to pull himself out of the hole and save Daniel.
“Old Herod was all soured up one

While the audience sat amazed the
evangelist remained poised on one foot and attempted to ilustrate “a quarter of twelve."
