[" The Weather ESTABLISHED 1764.INTEREST THROUGHOUT EUROPE Aroused by Sir Edward Grey's Epoch - Making Speech \u2014 Some of the Opinions, London, March 15\u2014Mr Edward Urey's epoch-making speech, as every Libers! calls it, has aroused enormous interest throughont Europe, and was grin the absorbing topic in the Parlismentary lobbies yesterday.By general admission it is the most import- int pronouncement made in Parliament in many years, and, if Conservative morning papers, taking the ground, that the Foreign Secretary's Ideal is almost impossible of attainment, comment somewhat coldly and point to the difficulties in its path, the Liberat organs hail it with unbounded enthusiasm and express strong resentment at the scoffing remarks heard from the Conservative benches while Bir Edward was speaking, such as \u201cHow about Mexico?\u201d and similar interjections offensive to the United States.\u201cThe wagon of the English speaking peoples is now hitched to a star,\u201d said Bir Henry Norman yesterday.\u201cThe rest may come slowly, but it will tome, and it will date from 1911.\" Similar opinions were expressed by the most progressive members of the House of Commons.Indeed, many members connected with the arbitration movement found it difficult to be- fieve that Sir Edward Grey had not made sure of his ground with regard to the negotiations with the United States before going so far in a public utterance.Lord Reay, the British delegate to .The Hague Conference of 1907, in an interview, heartity welcomes the idea and thinks that a general arbitration treaty between Great Britain and the United States might be the occasion Jos the establishment of 3 permanent arbitration tribunal, and that the only possible opposition in America would come from the Irish section.The Nationalist party in the House of Commons, discussing the matter, are frank in declaring, that je would be quife Impossible to secure acceptance of the treaty until Home Rule has been granted to Ireland.The Morning Post in an editorial says that such a treaty would invoive nn the part of both rations the sacrifice of what is called sovereignty.At that sacrifice the agreement is possible.The Morning \u2018Leader says that «\\merican diplomacy has often shown to advantage by the side of the elaborate European methods, but such a treaty would make all former triumphs pale.Some of the morning papers point out the difficulties in the way, owing to Great Britain\u2019s foreign alliances.The Daily News remarks that incidentally this is the first time a British Foreign Secretary has recognized the right of Parliament to share in the treaty-making power.: The Times editorially declares that Great Britain is cqually ready, as at the time of the Paunceforte-Olney ne- rotiations, to accept an arbitration treaty.provided it can be shown that the American people desire it and that the negotiations will not prove abortive, At his farewell reception at the Carrs Lane Chapel at Birmingham fast night, the Rev J.H.Jowett, who bar accepted a call to the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church of New York.referred to Sir Edward Grey's speech and said he hoped that he might be able to help forward Sir Edward's ideal of Anglo-American unity.PROMISING LIFE CUT SHORT BY ACCIDENT.Dr.Z.Giasson, of this city, has re- \u2018ceived news of the accidental death of his nephew, Mr.John Charles Giasson, in Montreal.On the 4th day of March the deceased was cleaning his launch with gasoline when an explosion occurred, and he was terribly burned about the hands and arms.Four physicians were called in and everything possible was done for the injured man.Complications, however, ensued, and Tact Sunday blood-poison- ing set in.After a consultation of doctors it was decided to remove him to Notre Dame Hospital, where he was operated upon the same evening, but the unfortunate young man died on Monday.Mr.Giasson, whe was only forty years of age, leaves a wife and six children.He was agent of the Sun Life Company and had a promising career before him.Lower St.lawrmce sl Guif\u2014S8trong _ southessterly and southerty winds;
