Prominedt Canadians Meeting In Toronto. Toronto, June 4.--Delegates from every important board of trade and chamber of commerce in Canada were present this morning at the opening session of the cogference of the com- mercial interests of the dominion. A. E. Ames, of Toronto hoard of trade, in calling the conference to order, said it was a natural preliminary discus- sion to that which would be held this summer in London between statesmen from all the colonies in regard to im- perial trade relations. Canada had no reason to complain of her place in the empire. No element of greatoess was lacking. Speaking for a moment of the Boer war, Mr. Ames said the Boers were now fellow subjects, and would ere long be proud of the empire. The present conference was not intended to unsurp the functions of parliament, but to express the views of business men on questions of trade and com- merce and matters relating to the national welfare. On motion of Alexander McFee, Mon- treal, Mr. Ames was appointed per manent chairman, and a resolution was on motion of W, F. Cockshutt, Brantford, passed expressing unbound- ed satisfaction at the return of peace and the hope that it would abide during the king's reign. The members rose and sang "God Save the King," after which the notices on the order paper were taken up. Capt. John Gaskin, Kingston hoard of trade, moved that the rate of post age on newspapers and periodicals be tween Canada and the mother land be reduced to the same figure as the do mestic rate. This was agreed to with out debate.

Toronto, June 4.-~Manager McGui- . gan held a conference with the G.T.R. traimmen, vesterday, at which the re quests of Wen in respect to a res j of the schedule were dis mond said the Montreal business men, in presenting this, was too loyal to be swayed by the thought of imme diate gain. The benefit to Great Britain by freeing her from dependence on foreign food supplies would be very great. The country was strongly wed ded to free trade, but Englishmen would see ere long that the best way of teaching the virtues of free trade would be to give other nations a taste of their own medicine. Last year only sixteen and two-thirds per cent. of Great Britain's food imports came from her colonies, and it would yreatly dtrengthen the empire to send the overflow population of the British isles to the colonies to grow food stuffs for those remaining at home. Mr. Cockshutt seconded the motion which is still under debate. The Shirt Waist.
