That accorded to the rule in modern nocities, and accorded to the action of the Im perial Government in Ireland." Spasking at Birmingham, he hoped that negotiations would be renewed which would lead to a Repossen! conclusion of the fisheries dispute. He know the great desire of the Canadian people to live en neighbourly terms with the people of the United States, and hoped that a similar feeling of amity prevailed in the Staten.
