CANADIAN AFFAIRS.
CBy Telegraph.—Press Association.—Copyright.) OTTAWA, March 15. An unusually rigorous winter has brought death and suffering to the fishermen of the Labrador coast. The Canadian Government is watching tho Russian Duma’s proposal to take tho territorial waters limit at twelve miles. Canada's Behring sea fisheries will be seriously affected if the measure passes. Prairie farmers are appealing to the Federal Conservatives to withdraw the proposition for reciprocity, asserting that Canada could not fail to benefit from such a course. The Canadian Government contemplates the relaxing of Chinese immigration restrictions in order to allow wives of incoming Chinese to enter without paying a head tax. Senators favour the proposal, several expressing the belief that the general restrictions are too rigorous.
