WAR OVER THE TARIFF

Hope Abandoned of Adjusting Matter with Canada. ■ I—l ■' t The state department officials at Washington have practically abandoned all hope of any adjustment of the tariff differences between the United States and Canada. They believe it is altogether probable that the maximum rates of the Aldrich act will go into operation against that country automatically in two weeks. An official said that so far as the department could see there was not a ray of hope of any understanding being reached. The final agreement between France and the United States over the minimum tariff probably will be effected within twenty-four hours. It is understood that France has agreed to the tentative arrangement made by Ambassador Jusserand with the American officials.
