The opinion of the majority of German business men is distinctly lest favorable, the later reports showing the extent of the Republican victor bringing out comment unmistakably suggestive ol 'disappointment- The sentiment most commonly heard h that while the United States, under Taft, will continue to expand as i. world power, by the building up of itt fleet and becoming still more danger - ous' as a competitor in the world';- markets, the prospects, of a thorough tariff revision, so necessary to Germai. trade, are now dim. ...The reelection of Speaker Can noi. is regarded as an especially unfavor able sign..

Paris, Nov. 5. Theru is no question now but that- there is a deadlock cn between France and Germany. . AU sorts of suggestions have been offered aa a mode of egress from the present delicate position. Franco tonight seems in a mood to accede to Gerr many'a demands providing that such a step could be accomplished without placing- the republic's standing in jeopardy.. '-.' - This scheme was Bet forth in the following terms: No aggravation f the' present conflict with Germany ie expected in offlcial circles, where a settlement honorable to both conn- tries is hoped for. If the disposition of tlie'German government is as conciliatory as that of France, an understanding could be reached by which the two countries, with mutual expressions, of regret over the Casablanca affair, could refer the whole affair to arbitration. But it is evident that thia is tlie only concession France can make, and the refusal of tiie cabinet to censure the officers and soldiers concerned muat be considered as definite/' - .Paul Samson, the French ambassador in Berlin, has been instructed to notify Germany tliat Franoe maintains her view that the whole quesr tion should be arbitrated; tbat mean- adJnea t release desert- ers, to reprimand the offlcers con- cerned, or to exchange regrets with Germany.

From moat rcli able sources it was learned today that France has made tentative enquiries bf the English foreign offiee; as to wbat aid France might expect of England in the event* of a clash between France and Germany.-growing out of the Casablanca affair. England is not hurrying to make reply, aa the'foreign office believes that Chancellor Von Buelow Jias raised this issue at France merely-to -distract Germany's attention. from thc muddle of the Kaiser's famous inter- view, in which h3 took credit for-aid- ing the English to whip the Boers. There is no thought there that Germany intends to drive France to hos- tilities in'tfte Casablanca matter. It is believed that after Von Buelow has kept the discussion active for a few daya, Germany and France will conoe to an agreement concerning '' ne bilration ift this mailer.

The fatherland has attempted to play Bismarck's old game of creating foreign critics to distract attention from its own domestic embarrassment- The device was so palpable ,as to he an insult to German public intelligence, la waa suddenly, abandoned yeaterday, doubtless -because it was already evident that the country refused . to be deceived by so puerile a manoeuvre. That the matter ia settled now ia showij by the faot that both governments are willing to make expressions of regret ovet thc incident and submit the remainder of the creations. regarding the action- of the German ambaasy officials in protecting German deserters from the French lor eign legation, to arbitration.

Reports of a rich gold strike in lbe vicinity of the town ot Sedgewick, ou the Wetaakiwin branch of the C.F.B., is agitating the residents of that community at preaent, and If the reports received trom there are correct, and the gold prospects are realised. Sedgewick will shortly spring into the limelight as aa Alberta Eldorado. The. report of the gold atrike. was brought to thla city by a number of residents of the 8edgewick district, who came to Edmonton to file the chriras they haw already 'staked-ont These men are George Peterson, 8. G. Irish and W. A, Irish, of Sedgewick, and J, A. Alien uid W. H. Phillipa. of Spokane, Washington. They are staying at the Cecil Hotel, and, contrary to tbe usual attitude of men who have made a gold strike, they are. quite willing to talk-about it. Is Twenty Miles Long. When' seen by a * Bulletin representative at the Cecil today, the men, all of whom were quite excited over the alluring prospects of gold, told of the discovery and its location. According to their atory, it is a glacier deposit of gold in the bed of Willow Creek, about three miles west of Sedgewick. Willow Creek emptiee into Iron Creek, which is a tributary to the Battle RiverJ The alleged gold-bearing area is believed to bc twenty miles in Jength and varying In width from a few hundred feet to three-quarters Of a mile. The gold was first discovered by Mr. Peterson,-On whose homestead it is located. He is an experienced miner, having spent aix years placer mining in tire 'Yukon and Alaska. While digging along the bed ot Willow Creek he discovered the color of gold in the surface soil. He investigated further and discovered undoubted traces of gold. Assayed 2 Par Yard. Hc sent a'sample to Montreal to bc assayed and iound it to yiokl about 12 per yard. Some of his neighbors became interested in the find and secured a sample* which they sent to Spokane, Washington, to J. P. Fas- set. When assayed it was found to yield 129.41 per toa. Mr. Peterson stated tliat lie got Uko Color of gold right at the surface. It gets better farther down, and he estimated that at about ISO feet depth the good gold-bearing channel was located. Thc difficulties in the way of getting at it are many, however. There is considerable water in tlie lt;Teek and the soil is all muskeg. In order to carry on placer mining there it would be necessary to purchase a good sandpump to drain the water off. Expensive mining machinery would also be necessary to work the claims.
