CANADA'S NEW ATTITUDE DELAYS JOINT HIGH COMMISSION
Washington reports Canada has abandoned hopes for a Joint High Commission meeting likely in Toronto after Canadian Parliament adjourns. Sir Wilfrid Laurier and Senator Fairbanke had exchanged preliminaries, but British PM Chamberlain's speech favoring preferential treatment to Canada shifts focus away from reciprocity with the United States. The plan’s key reciprocity aim fades and no reconvening is foreseen. Fourteen trains daily to Buffalo and Niagara Falls offered by the Great Trek.

Support for Tulloch Bristow Upholds Him
Washington June 2 fourth assistant postmaster general Bristow’s reply to ex cashier Tulloch is understood to support many charges and counter portions of denunciations by ex postmaster general Smith Heath and others. The postmaster general delays releasing Bristow’s statement until post office inspections and civil service reports are complete. Payne pushes to finish those reports to accompany Bristow’s reply. A private letter from Henry Clay Evans cites Beavers and Machen as overreaching for their jobs and using reciprocity for favors. Payne denies plans to present a summary to the President this Saturday, citing newer developments.
