THE OPEN DOUuR.

Mr, Chamberlain Says Arrangements Must be Made With France and Russia.

Lonpoy, Dec. 9.—The Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, Secretary of State for the Colonies, speaking at a Conserva~ tive gathering io Waketield, Yorksbire, last evening, fully discussed home aad for- eign affairs aud the Goveroment’s policy in Ezy pt, which, he said, depended entirely upon the possib»l ty of reaching an under - standing with France, “a thing which is impossitle eo long as the Freach pureue a policy of exasperation.”

With regard tothe relations between Great Britain and Russia in connection with the far east, he said that while bith— ertotbe endeavors to reach an agreement had failed, he believod au agreement with Russia was necessary, uuless very serious complications were to be encountered. There were, he continued, no insurmount-~ able obstacles to an agreement. Oa the contrary, it was quite possibie to conciliate the reasonable ambition of Rassia with the fixed p'licy of Great Britain to matutain equal opportunities of trade forall nas tions,

“Tam more sanguine of arriving at a settlement,” said Mr. Chamberlain, “be- cause it is not for our interestalone. ‘The objects we bave in view are shared also by the United States, Germany and Japan, eli of which have identical intereets. [| dare say you have ob:erved the very preg~ nant passage in the recent meseage of President McKinley to the United Btates Congress, the passage Sreferred to the very importaot interests of America inthe east, in which he declares that these interests shall not be prejudiced by exclusive treat - ment. Thisis a very note worthy passage, and, without being a propbet,I think I shall not be tio sanguine iff say in the future we sha'l I do not stand slone as guardians of the “open door.”

Mr. Chamberlain then referredto the charge of inconsistency brought against him, in boasting of Great Britain’s “Splendid isolation” anc then touting for alliances. He said: *WhenI referred to isolation I meant the isolation of the Britieh Empire, comprising the United Kingdom and our children over the ceas, who aré well alle todefend their own pos- sessions and theirown exclusive interests againat all attacks ; but surely, it~ is not unreasonable to seek an slliance and to accspt co-operation where the interests involved sre those of others as well as our~ slves. In the case of Germany, we have ascertained by a friendly and frank inter- change of opinions,thatthere are many interests regarding which we can assist one another. I think I may hope that in the future the two nations, the greatest naval und the greatest military power, will come more frequeatly together, and that our joint influence wili be used on be- balf of peace and of unreatricte! trade.

“But if 1 congratulate you on the de- v' lopment of good feeling between us and a great continental state, slill more d> I rejoice at the growth of friendly relations between ourselves and our colonies, be- tween oursslves and the United States. Already the United States, if regarded from the standpoint of potential resources, is the greatest of civilized states—with its immease pcpulation of intelligent citizens, chiefly Anglo-Saxces ; and, if we are as- sured of the Anglc-Saxon race, whether it abides under the Stars and Stripes or the Union Jack, there is no other combination that can make us afraid.”

Replying later in the proceedings to a vote of thanks for his address, Mr. Cham-~ berlain said he hoped ere many years had paseed to see a federation of the empire, with coloaial representatives in the Impe- rial parliament,

Referring to apersonal allusion to his “‘Setting & good example in furwarding the hoped for slhasce with the United States by marrying an American” he eaid : “So many Englishmen are following the ex- ample that I think it qnite possitl+ the alliance may be accomplished without the interference of governmeuts,’ (Laughter.)

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

—Sir Edward Monson, the British Ambassador, delivered a speech at Paris on the 6. inst, in the course of which he called upon the French officials in power aud unollicial expoveats of publie opinion ‘*to discoustenance and abstain from a continuance of the policy of pin -pricke, which, wh:leitcasonly procure an epa- emeral satisfaction to a_ short-lived Ministry, must invitab'y perpetuate across the channel an intolerable irritation. I would entreat them to resist the temp‘a- tion to thwart British enterprise by petty manoeuvres. Such ill-considered provoca- tion might have the effect of converting Great Briatin’s present policy of forbear- ance in Egypt into the adoption of mea- sures at which I presume French sentiment is not}d@iming.” The threatesinz lan- guage is meking a sensation in France and elsewhere.

BACK FROM DAWSON

A Former Torontonian Tells of Con- ditiozrs on the Gold Fields

| Toronto, D.c. 9.—Mr G O Hague, of | Dawsoa City, an old Toroatonian, who lef; | here in May, 1897, to investigate the Gold- eo North, is inthe city. Mr Hegae says | that the Yukon is uodoabledly the richest | Spot on the face of the earth, and gcld is | certainly there in large quantities, and gold | enough for all who go. Dawson City itself is booming. There will be no trouble about ) provisions, andthe city will not be entirely : locked up during the winter,for there can be | communication over the ice.Mr. Hague said that when he left there on October 15, there was a strong effort being made to have Dawson incorporated a citv, but this would have to be done by ‘p*cia) legisla- , tion, for alihough there are 20,000 inhab- | itants, only about 25 per cent. are Canadian cit zene. Everything is booming in the | district, Work is in fall swing and will | be all winter, and wages are $1 an hour. | The great drawback to that country is the | excessive amount of royalties. The am— ount is unheard of,and the coantry is being | kept back accordingly. “Gold Commis-~ sioner Fawcett was certainly ineflicient,” said Mr. Hague. “But the stories have been greatly exaggerated.” ‘There have been injustices done. 1 have eeen men go up to register claims and they were put off for a couple of days. They would come back in aday ortwoand fiod the claims taken, The charges of dishonesty and wholeeale incompetency were exag~ gerated, however. Mr. Hague will retura to Dawson early in the eprisg.

PATON’S CHRISIMAS SALE.

ON entering the magnificent establish- mevtof Jas. Paton & Co. a person might excusably imagine himself or herself in a leading London or New York store prepared for the Christmas holidays. The wonderful view from outside the windows is but a a foretaste of the elaborate preparations which are brought to the eye on the inside. Two large arches trimmed with evergreens and bunting extend over head outside the eounters adorard with the word «Wel. come,” while on either side are booths over the counters, dividiag the various, departments which are all beautifully

trimmed ard containing the large assortments of the different goods ‘in stock. Stylish dress goods ladies’ }eveciag wear in sijks, laces and

~~

ostrich boas, furs, ete; silk handker- chiefs, gloves, neckwear, ribbons in silk and satin, curtains, shawls, and in fact a wondrous display of all the goods to be found in a dry-goods store in endless variety, material, style and workmanship. Scores of appropriate gifts of the season, hundreds avd hurdreds of articles to suit the tastes of the most fastidious admirers. It woul! require columns of space {to ‘numerente or describe the array Of bound). ss wealth of merchandise, unexceiled perhaps in this Dominion ani which will surely compare favorably fer grandear, variety, desiga and taste in the arrangement and decorations, with

first American cities. The. store is admirably lighted with electric lanips in red whiteand blue and the general appearacce of the building is a charm- ing sight the equal of which has never before been seen here. ‘Today is the grand vpening for the Chrisimas trade and a view of its extreme splendor is wo th going many miles to tehold. James Paton & Com- pacy are deserving cof a _ vyisit from all who can pos-ibly tske advan- tage of so rare an opportunity, and the © iginators and those who directed and assisted in the arrangements and gen- eral make up, have shown exceedingly good judgment and skill.
