It is said in administration circles that the ground was-so carefully gone over before the proclamation was issued that Canada is not left a leg to stand on. and must give in to the American demands and immediately revoke the order in council of .April 4 last,,authorizing the discriminating rebate of 18c a ton on grain products shipped to Canadian por ts and refused to American merchandise. Equality of tolls in the Welland canal was one of the distinct pledges made by article 27, of the treaty of Washington of 1871. under which treaty * *

Canada has profited largely. Another fact much commented on here is the humiliating position in which Gov.-Gen. Lord Stanlej' and the Canadian ministers have pla.ced the British legation in Washington. Mr. Herbert, British charge d’affaires, twice asked of the United States government an extension of time, stating that he did so at the request of the Canadian authorities, and on the last occasion, August 6, holding out on the same authority a promise of some satisfactory action. Yet the first news of the decision of the' Canadian government to continue the obnoxious rebate until the end of the navigation season, that is until a period when retaliation would be harmless, ’ came to the state department not from * the British legation which had been led to promise, early and satisfactory information, but from the United StaWg--uj$S consul general at Ottawa. Mr. Herbert yesterday journeyed post haste from Newport to Washington and was asked by secretary Foster whether the information conveyed to the United States consulgeneral was true, he was obliged to con- > fess that the Canadian government had left him absolutely in the dark; that he had no official communication to make, -w although he did not question the trtTih of the consul-general’s dispatch.
