There would now bo no chance of u mi'sunderstanding, such as might have been tho case if, after three years of tariflito agitation, the colonials found they had been summoned simply to negotiate on the basis of existing duties, in which case they would have thought they had been brought here oil it fool's errand. Sir Joseph and Lady Ward have arrived and are staying at the Hotel Cecil.
