By Telegraph.—Press Association.—Copyright. v Ottawa, September 24. Sir Wilfrtd Lattrier has reversed his decision to retire from politics, and has announced that he will remain with his party for some time. Sir Wilfrid is now making preparations to quit office immediately.

Mr. R. L. Borden, the new Premier, states that 30 years hence the people of Canada will look back upon the late election as the turning point of the destiny of the Conservatives. He promised to endeavour to build up Canada as an autonomous nation within the Empire. It is expected that the deferred elections will result in further defeats of the Liberals.

Lord Charles Beresford, • interviewed at Vancouver, congratulated Canadians on the results of the election, and alluded to the effect on trade of the opening of the Panama Canal. He would like to see Eng-lish-speaking nations so strong as to be able to command the peace of the world without other alliance.

Regarding the Oriental awakening Lord Beresford said that cheap labour was certain to menace the future of all industrial nations.

THE EFFECT IN AMERICA.

PHILOSOPHY OF TAFT.

President Taft, speaking at St. Louis, said he was content to abide by the result of the Canadian elections. He regretted the failure to pass reciprocity, but had been too long on the Bench not to know when a final decision was given.

Congressman McColl, introducer of the original Reciprocity ' Bill, declared . that the puerile annexation bogey had led Canada to reject as golden an opportunity as she was ever likely to have . , .

'The Chicago wheat market has completely recovered its stability, which was 'affected by the defeat of reciprocity.
