Ottawa, Aug. 30.â€"Ottawa has _ not been informed of any proposal to borrow two British cruisers to inaugurate the Canadian navy, though it is thought ‘here that such a plan would not be unâ€" reasonable in connection with the trainâ€" inw of Canadians as sailors and seamen to command and man war vessels. Howâ€" ever, the policy of the Government is to bwild a fleet proper for the purposes of Canada on a plan reeommended by British authorities and _ approved by Canada. Orders in the first place will hbe given to British builders for the craft required on the Atlantie and Pacific. _ Eventuaily an effort will be made to establish Canadian yards from which craft can be turned out. _ The opinion here is that unless some Britâ€" ish builder is venturesome, Canadian yards will not be established for some vears, as it is realized that to equip a plant â€" capable of producing modern crvisers, destrovers and submarines is no â€"small undertaking. _ Not only is the ordinary fabrication and protecting .of the hull involved, but there are so many specialized departments, such as lectrical engineering and fittting, inâ€" wolved. «ime hour, Britain is at present building live such vessels herself, to be comâ€" pleted next year. _ They will have turâ€" bine engines. The thirdâ€"class eruisers Canada will hborrow kill probably have a speed of from 20 to 22 knots and be of from 2006 to 2,000 tonnage. The Canadian Associated Press is in formed that the disposition of the Canaâ€" dlian flees will be as follows: Two eruisers for the Pacific Ocean xul one eruiser and four destroyers for the Atlantic. Two eruisers will be leni by the Admiralty pending the conâ€" etruetion _ of _ the â€" Canadian â€" vessels. Docks are to be built which will acâ€" commodate the largest warships. They might be placed on the Pacific or on the Atlantic and Sa. Lawrence River. The Pacific fleet mentioned _ by Preâ€" mier Asquith consists _ of three units, the Australia, the China and the East Indies squadrons, the last mentioned to be wholly. British in composition. AsSQUITH‘S STATEMENT. It has been arranged that _ New Z/ealand and â€"Australia present _ the cmpire with vessels of the Indomitable tvpo instead of the proffered Dreadâ€" nought, and these ships will form a part the Pacific fleet. Subject to the approval of the Canâ€" adian Pariament, it was agreed that (Canada _ should _ make _ a start by building eruisers of the Bristol class and destrovers of the river class, making use of both Pacific and Atlantie ports for the construction work. Premier Asquith also stated that it has been arranged at the Imperial Defence Conference so to organize the military forees of the Crown as to preserve complete autonomy in â€" each dominion while alowing for.

Regarding the site of a shipyard on the Pacific, a prowminent naval expert was asked his opinion by a Canadian wificial and he replied: _ *Vancouver is wore suitable than Esquimalt, though is might also be necessary to have a dock at the latter‘ The Canadian Associated Press fnrâ€" ther understands that the idea of hayâ€" iny submarines on the St. Lawrence hiver and the Pacific Coast has been «â€"uggested, and the suggestion has been received with some favor.

The traffie of United vessels is particularly heavy at this point which is near the Lime Kiln crossing, where the United States has alreadyâ€"spent a couple of million dollars in works on the channel on the Canadian side. _ The application has been referred to the Waterways Commissioners, but it is practically certain that it will be granted, Farlow said he did not know the numâ€" of healing practioners, but he thought there were several hundred. The number of sold copies of Mrs. FEddy‘s book. "Science and Health," is not known, Farlow said, because Mrs. Eddy decided to discontinne publishing statistics of that sort. He thought the sale may have been more than 250,000 copies. . eral of the missing articles were found at HMenderson‘s residence. The young man is about 22 years of age, a bright, active lad, of quiet disâ€" position, and has been in the employ of the d%partmont here for about five years and was close to a period of promotion.

The spectators did not beâ€" lieve it possible for Latham to ride out the storm, but to their delight he mountâ€" ed high and took his machine over the tribunes at a hight of 300 feet.
