A few moments later Mr. Cooper mounted the railings in front of the hall and tried to address the crowd. Twice he got na far as "Ladies and gentlemen," but twice he had to give up the attempt and submit to fresh chorus of incoherent and estatis cheering.

NO SECRET CLAUSES IN CUSTOMS AGREEMENT.

no foundation whatever for such
rumours.
The Press furthermore points out that behind the snormous uproar
that arose in certain quarters and especially in Paris when the cus- toms agreement was published, was at least in part the desire to divert public attention from the difficul ties that had arisen with regard to the rather too much advertised nave | al agreement which the public had been led to regard as an already accomplished fact whereas some im portant details on which the ex- perts could be trusted to disagros had been left untouched, thereby undoing much of the good work doue by the stateamen,
