TO CONTRACTORS. . | TENDERS WILL BE RECEIVED BY THE 2} for Th Publie THE ATLANTIC TRADE How Caan It Be Recovered By Britais DIFFICULTIES OF SCHEME SO FAR AS CANADA IS CON- CERNED IN IT. What the London Daily Mail Pro- poses--Allan Line to Remain Outside Both Trusts--What the Scheme Contemplates. London, June 6.--The Daily Mail this morning devotes an editorial to the subject of how Britain can recover the Atlantic trade. It thinks it would be wise not to build too high hopes on the Cunard scheme, though every patriotic Britisher will wish it sue cess. But the difficulties in the way are vi great. At the same time it in i. question, whether the hour has not come to do what the United States, France, and Russia are doing, and to reserve the shipping trade be tween British ports throughout the world for ships which are undisguised- ly under the British flag, and to enact a classe directing that foreigners shall not hold more than a certain modest proportion of a British line. Lord Strathcona, the Canadian high commissioner, is reported as saying that the new Atlantic shipping plan involves the acquisition of the Cunard line by a group of British capitalists as the necleus of a purely imperial combination, and the establishment of a fast passenger scrvice to Canada. He adds that a fast Canadian service is now receiving the earnest attention of the Canadian government. Any such plan would be made on the initiative of the Canadian government. A prominent shipping expert points out the difficulties of the new scheme. He says: 'There are many things that will prevent Canada from main- taining a profitable steamship service of the first class. The small and sta- tionary character of the population, the absence of very wealthy people, the difficulties of navigation, and high shipping and insurance rates are all serious features. The difference in the insurance rates at Montreal and Bos- ton amounts to more than the entire cost of an ocean journey. Apart from insurance, the navigation of the St. Lawrence is dangerous, and for many months impossible. The only hopé of such a line paying would be to at- tract passengers and freight from the United States. If it should try this, it must build the best bofite on the ocean, such as cost a' million pounds apiece. To start a live with old boats, even the old Cundrders, would be madbess." There is still no definite information of a British shipping combination with eh ne as the smteal. and strongest link. Canadian officials are sanguine in their forecasts of the ulti- atte Fone of the movement, and ord Strathcona is zealous TY jng it, but it is not yet ee the admiralty and the board of trade will commit themselves to the policy of paying subsidies on a greatly enlarged scale. Sir Christopher Furness and other ship owners are making strenuous el- forts to induce the Cunard company to break off negotiations with Mr. Morgan and to assume the leadership in national shipping interests, but nei: ther are the elements for a powerful combination yet in sight, nor has an organizer of sufficient force been dis- covered for a determined fight in de fence of British maritime interests. Thers is authority for the statement that the Allan line will remain outside of both trusts. The Westminster Gazette thinks it probable that Miliordhaven will be the port of departure of the fleet. The scheme contemplates a line of steam- ers running to China, Japan, and Avs. tralia from Vancouver, B.C. Canada and Australia are expected to ioin in paying the subsidies. The draft of the scheme involves the home govern ment guaranteeing a small interest on the capital involved. This wonid have to be ratified by the hose of com mons, "where," says the Westminster Gazette, "it will probably meet with opposition." The mail steamers, which it is proposed to build, will be of en- ormous size, capable of steaming twenty-five knots an hour, and will be fully equipped for use as armed cruis- ers, carrying eight twelve-quick firing six-inch guns, forward and aft, and of three 4. 7-inch guns. steamers will be eighteen vessels carrying 6,000 to 7,000 tons dead weight. " May Reach A Decision. oronto, June 6. The teme that the imperial and Canadian gov. ernments have concluded an arrange THE KITCHENER VOTE. ---- Kitchener Was More Flexible Than Milner. London, June 6.--In accordance with king Edward's message to the house of commons, the ment leader, A. J. Balfour, in the house on Thurs- day, asked for a vote of £50,000 ($250,000) to lord Kitchener. As a remarkable eoincidenc§, parliament on June 5th, three years ago, voted its shanks and £30,000 ($150,000) to the same general for his sbrvices in Egypt. The grant was 1 by 30 to forty-four votes. The mingrity con- sisted of Irish nationalists two or three radicals. The seeret history of negotiations is slowly coming to light, lord Kitchener was more flexible merciful than lord Milner throu the conference with the Boer Jo . Lord Milner is now alleged to have opposed stren- ously the language compromise, and Mr. Chamberlain is believed to have supported him. It is also stated that the cabinet was divided on the sub ject and that Sir Michael Hicks-Beach warmly advocated lord Kitchener's views. Whatever may have been its temporary difference of opinion, bow- ever, the cabinet is now united in de- fence of the treaty and is supported bv public opinion. The war office has eabled Gen. Kit- chener as follows: "His majesty's government offers its sincere con- gratulations on the v, skill and patience with which you conducted the long campmign would wish you to communi the troops its profound sense ol urance with which they met on them, of their in action, excellent discipline and. the humanity shown thoughout this try- ing period." Lord Kitchener replied thanking the govefgament for its com: mendation. ------ Cost In Men Of Boer War.

Maximo Gos mez has published an open letter, in which he refuses to accept the annual pension of 86,000 provided for him in # resolution which is now bef the Cuban house of representatives. Gen. Gomez asks his friends to de feat this resolution, saying it would be unfair for him to ageept money so long as the other Cuban soldiers have not been provided for. Gen.
