Regarding the danger from ice Mr LENT BECOMES A BLESSING WHEN Sifton quoted the opinion of the cap v tain of the Empress of Ireland, that YOU USE the only inconvenience was the neces sity of taking a somewhat more south erly course from December to May.

(867) that g twenty-four-knot weekly ser vice between Great Britain and Can- ada of the character 1 have spoken of, and a fortnightly service between Van couver and New Zealand and Sydney, Australia, would on the whole cost for subsidy £1,000,000 per annum. It has been suggested that a reasonable allocation of the proportions of that million pounds sterling to the various contracting parties would be: Aus tralia, £75,000; New Zealand, £100, - 000. Canada, £325,000; Great Britain, £1! 500, 000. "Thus 'the 'three colonies concerned would contribute about one-half the total amount of the subsidy and Great Britain the other half. "I think it might safely be said that New Zealand 1s willing to give the £100,000, As to Australia, it is not so clear what her present position is. Great Britain awaits a definite pro- posal on the part of the colonies con- cerhed--Australia, New Zealand and Canada<~and we may, therefore, say that the present position of the pro- ject is that it awaits definite action on the part of the government and pagliament of Canada looking to the 3 co-operation of New Zealand and Aus- tralia, and then to a definite proposi- tion being presented to the govern: ment of Great Britain.

'So far as Cemada Ts converned. what may be said to be the argument | in favor of it? From a commerce ial | standpoint you. can put it in two or thiee ways. At the present time mail, passenger, and freight service of the best and quickest character from here to Great , Britain goes through the United States, and from Australia and New Zealand, goes across the eon- tinent. of Europe. It does not go by our own ports or our own territory. In other words, so far as travel and transportation are concerned, Canada is on the side street fetead of the main 'thoroughfare. What this pro- position means is that Canada shall be put upon the thoroughfare instead of upon the side street. Jf I argued for a month I could not make it any plainer than that. Ally the creat so- aal, political, and commercial advan- tages which come from being upon the main avenue in respect to this traffic would come to Canada if this scheme were carried into effect. KUROPATKIN TALKS. Japan Dissatisfied With Results of "Recent War, St. Petersburg, March 23 General Kuropatkin, looking aged and slight unkempt as compared with the days in Manchuria, has been spending the winter in St, Pe "tersburg and mixing a good deal in society. In an interview abput the question in. the near east he said it would nat do for him, a former minister of war, to speak free- ly. "I can only say," he declared, "that Tor Russia such a war would be a great misfortune, but if such a war is inevitable, then it would be better to go the whole way, cost what it will, than to stop when the work is half done, as she did in the Russo Japanese war." Asked what he thought of the ru- mors that Japan was again preparing to attack Russia, General Kuropatkin said : "'l cannot say whether the ru- mor is based on truth or not, but am convinced that 'Japan is dissatis- fied with the results of the recent war." General Kuropatkin believes that Russig, if she intends to remain a great country, must have a great fleet, but he lamented the fact that her means were limited and the more mon gy that was spent on a fleet, the more the army would be neglected. Speaking finally of the court-martial of the commanding officers at Port Arthur, the general said : "It has been a great hardship for everybody A great story of heroic defence has hybn spoiled by all sorts of petty intrigues and ealumnies, but the evidence shows that the great bulk of the Russian of ficers and men fought well."
