YEAR 79 NO, 2 NAVAL | POLICY tlic & 7 Be Announced | Tis Season. INQUIRIES BY PERLEY 10 BE OF A PURELY NATURE. The Borden Government Will Matter Most tian. Ottawa, Jan, 3.--The story Hon. G. H. Perey, who is abroad, will consult the British admiralty re specting the form of naval comtribu- tion by Canada is not confirmed at the department here. Mr, Perley is having a holiday in the south of France. It is certain that before the naval policy of the new ministry is formulated the wouncil of the admir- alty will be sonsulted, but in that connection, in addition to correspon- dence being exchanged, it is under stood that the minister, Hou. J. D. Hazen; his deputy, Mr. Desbarpts, and some of the technical officers of the department will go to London. When this will be dome, however, is not yet determined, It is excendingly doubtful that any naval policy will be enunciated this session, he question is one of the largest ever confronting the govern ment, and there is the best of reason for the statement that uothing will be done hurriedly but only after the most mature consideration, If Hon, Mr. Perley, incidental to his tour, should moke some enquiries it will be of a wholly informal charac ter, Mature Considers.

Dr. Mérchuikoff, of the Pasteur In stitute, could not be reached, but in guiries among other professors at the institute, especigily Dr. Metchnikoffs own assistant, ebicited the reply that the deaths in Berlin were believed to be due purely to local cpuses and that 80 far there was no cause for alarm. "Pr. Metehnihofi,"' said his assist ant, "is following the outbreak Bu Berlin with interest; but he does not believe it a case of either cholera 01 the plague. His opinion is that the deaths ate due to alimentary poison ing, but whether from fish, sausage, meat of water, I am unsble to state."

Montreal, Jan, 3.---The nationalists are dissatisfied with their lot, and are seeking to break their llinace with the conservatives. A few days ago the nationalists made overtures to Sir Wilind Laurier, asking that they be taken batk into the llberal fold. Sir 'Wilfrid replied that so long as he remained at the bead of the liberals the party would have nothing to do with the nationalists or their policies. Of course, ' Mr. Bourassa did not go himself to Sir Wiltrid, The nationalist leader was too shrewd for that, but he secured envoys, whe approached Sir Wilfrid, only 10 have their advances scornfully rejected, The nationalists feel that they have been made tools of hy the conserva: tive party, but Henri Bourassa is sot the type of man to be made a ents paw by conservatives and quietly sub- mit. The conservatives used them to get into power, but now have such a large majotity that they find they can ignore the nationalists. It is true dhat some recognition was given the nation nliste at the very outset, but since then the power of Mr, Bourassa has been on the wane. He wants to he the Warwick of modern times and to make and unmake cabinets, if there ave ne kings at hand to dispose of. His recent attack on the belligerant winister of militia As taken as an in dex of what his views of the new cab inet are. It is well known that Mr, Bourassa had planned to make an at tack on Me. Borden, Col. Sam Hughes, and other members of the cabinet, at the fertheoming banquet of Le Devoir's wupportors. 'The banquet has been postponed in order to give the govern ment an opportunity to vied to the fiery = mationalist leader's demands, Should these not be met, it is certain that Mr. Bourassa will break ecom- pletely with the government. On the other hand, it is impossible for Mr. Borden to yield to Mr. "ay such a step' would pesy his going hack on all the loyal pledges he gave to the English-speaking Cana dians, It looks very much as if Mr. Bour assa would shortly break with the government, and be forced to lead a forlorn hope.: There are also indica- tions that the more intelligent French: Canadiane are turning against the ma tionalists and their policy of stagna- tion and élericalism. Le Pays, the in- fuéntial weekly paper edited hy God- frey Langlois, M.P.P., has been at tacking 'the system of education and clerical rule in this province, In recent articles it ha cbeen point: ing out that no French-Canadians are represented on the boards of our' great transportation systems, or at the head of our great industrial enterprises, in brief, that they are the hewers of wood and drawers of water, all Le cause of their Inek of education and their slavish submission to. clerieal rule.
