A Patriotic Address Cut Short by a Call To Order--The Subject Of Imperial Defence Wgrmly Debated. Toronto, June 6.--When the confer ence of boards of trade met this morm- ing the members congratulated each other on the fact that the pavilion, in which last night's great banquet was held, had not taken fire while the banquet was in progress. If it had so rapid was the destruction of the building, which was entirely of wood and glass, that a panic could not have been avoided. When business was begun chairman Ames called for W. F. Cockshutt, Brantford; who said that his remark that he was glad the delegates from (uebec were not afraid to show their colors on the defence question, and which had been regarded as a matter of offence by the Quebec delegates, was intended it as a compliment. Mr. Perrault said that this was his own view of the remark. The debate on the defence resolu tions was resumed, and Mr. McFar lane, Ottawa, wanted to put in a substitute motion favoring a special tax on foreign importations, the pro ceeds to go te naval defence. The chairman, when Capt. Gaskin, Kingston, began an impassioned speech on loyalty, promptly called him to order and said all present were loyal and the conference was a busi ness one to discuss defence on a busi ness basis. F. X. Perrault, Gaspe, quoted Sir Wilirid Laurier's remarks that Cana da was satisfied with the present re- lations, amd said that in favoring the spending, of money in developing Ca nada's material strength rather than a military expenditure, the govern- ment was following a maxim long ago laid down by Palmerston. The government, the sppaker devlared, should not be trammelled in its ac tion, Mr. Kemp, M.P., at this stage in terrupted to say that Mr. Perrault was introducing controversial mat ters. Mr. Perrault continuing, drew a lesson from the session of colonies, in 1775, of the proper representations. Canada, he said, should not be asked to send money abroad for defence, but should have her own army and navy and handle them herself. Mr. Pattullo, Woodstock, favored a general resolution favoring the mak ing of a definite provision for the de- fence and protection of colonial trade at home and abroad and de- claring that the government keep in touch with the home and colonial gov- ernments with that end in view, as well as to the end that the colonies should in time of . common danger contribute to the strength and integ- rity of the empire. Mr. Ames made a vigorous speech in favor of the Montreal resolution whi affirmed that Canada should contribute a direct sum in aid of im- perial defence to be expended as the government of Canada might think best. Mr. Hatchway, St. John, N.B., said the conference had better stick to business. It was not convened to set tle the militia organization of Canada. Only ten boards of trade out of 168, he pointed out, had replied to the de- fence clause of the programme. The resolution, Mr. Hatchway declared, should be left over till next year, Many members joined in thas view and others favored the appointment of a committee to report. Capt. Coulson, St. Catharines, de clared that the military spirit was altogether too widespread. After fur- ther debate the Montreal motion, that it was the duty of the dominion as an important division of the em- pire to participate in the cost of the general defence-of the empire, and, therefore, that an annual appropria- tion should be provided in the dom inion budget for this purpose to be expended as the dominion government may direct, was adopted by forty votes to thirty-two. An amendment, by Mr. Patwllo, along the lines of his speech was de- feated by thirty-four to thirty-six, as was one by Mr. Kemp, expressing the opimion that the time had arrived when a plan of naval and military defence should be considered and that our military and naval estab. lishments should be under the con trol and direction of the parliament of Canada, whether for servige at home or in other parts of the . em- pire, -- Fifteen Under Arrest.
