Behring Sea Seizures Shape Liberal Views in Boston
Sir Richard Cartwright, leader of Canada’s reciprocity faction, spoke in Boston on Behring Sea seizures and the push for freer trade with the United States. He argued Canada must defend its interests, predicted a Liberal victory for closer U S relations, and backed Hitt's tariff reform while downplaying annexation. He praised Boston’s progress and called the city the continent’s beauty.

Close of the Encampment Ends Work at Milwaukee
The close of the Grand Army national encampment in Milwaukee Wisconsin was marked by a four hour session. Debates centered on a pension proposal to give twelve dollars monthly to veterans living at home with a relinquishment of military asylum rights but the measure was tabled. The assembly reaffirmed support for congressional pension legislation and adopted rules to allow smaller posts to form a quorum. The contentious issue of past department commanders voting was decided to keep the House of Lords intact. Installation of new officers followed, and the encampment adjourned sine die. New England veterans formed the Grand Army council today with members from Maine New Hampshire Vermont Massachusetts Connecticut Rhode Island. In a separate incident a revenue cutter Fessenden cannon misfired injuring several sailors and others were hurt by mortar explosions.
