Adams, 10 AVE BIG BANOUET At The Colonial Iastitutc-Cham~ periain Presiding IT WILL BE HELD ON DOMIN- ION DAY. Sir Charles Tupper Said to Be in Favor of the Corn Tax--Col. Denison is Expected to Make Many Converts to the British Empire League Propaganda. New York, April 23.--The Tribune's London cable says : Sir Charles Tup- per, who leads the way for a large number of influential Canadian guists at the coronation, hes heartily ap- oved of the corn tax. Sir Wilfrid urier is expected by the high com- ine about June , with four or" five mfnisters and premiers of Ontario and Manitoba. Preparations are being made for a great banquet at the colonial insti tute with Mr. Chamberlain, as master of ceremonies, and the Canadian din ner.on. July. let, will be the most bril- Jiant of a long series of colonial en- tertainments. i Col. George T. Denison, Toronto, is expected to make many converts to the propaganda of the Hritish empire league in Canada for a differential tari and an increase of the dominion tariff for purposes of imperial fence. Corn Tax Adopted. London, April 23. The debate on the tax on corn was con- duéte' in a petfunctory way in the commons, yesterday, without a sign of animation, The discussion was up- on whom the tax would really fall. Sir Michael Hicks Beach, chancellor of the exchequer, argued that the tax was not really a violation of free trade doctrines, while it was aheurd to maintain that the working classes were unable to pay the slight in- creases, consider their increased consumption of aleohol. Sir Michael announced that the tax on offal, for feeding stufis, would be three pence per bundred weight. Mr. Baliour, gov- ernment leader in the house, moved the closure whith was carried by a majority of ninety. The corn duty was earricd by a vote of 283 to 197. The majorities aroused considerable opposition cheers, they being in strik- ing contrast tothe vote on the ih: come tax resolfftion, which was car ried by a vote of 207 to 67. There is no evidence yet that a pop ular agitation against the corn duty will be organized. The meeting of the chamber of commerce, was mainly concerned with the effect of the new duties upon various trades and with the-unfairness of the pin grain and flour. The foreign office has issued the xorrespondence regarding the recent sugar conference at Brussels. It seems that the conference was frequently in d ol ending until the marquis of Lansdowne, British foreign secre- tary, intimated, on February 25th, that if the conference should fail Brit- ain would withdraw her delegates and submit to parliament the proposals for sugar taxation in 1902 and 1903. Lord Lansdowne, on February 25th, elegraphed to. the British delegates as foHows : "Though the convention precludes the giving of bounties in eur market to British and colonial r, yet in their own markets the colonies are at liberty to protect home grown sugar. Make it clear that we are not prevented from -sub- sidizing our colonies until the conven- tion becomes operative.'. On March 3rd lord Lansdowne again telegraph- ed: "It is clearly understood that we are at liberty to give preference to colonial sugar until September Ist, 1903." Both provisions were secured. ---------------- KILLED IN EARTHQUAKE, Details of Disaster in Guatemala to Arrive.

When I first talked of that, fifteen years ago, 1 was laughed at, but with the wonderful transmission of power at Niagara Falls, my dream looks, to be - | near fulfilment. "And let me tell the American - | people," said be, " there may he a time when the water will flow no more over that great horseshoe, but instead there _ will be a beautiful growth of vegetation far more superb than any water flowing in torrents, over the precipice, and the water will und its way aown countless turbines, spreading light * and power for hund- reds of miles in all directions."
