The material has been collected at first hand from official and personal sources. The Customs Tariff is absolutely reliable, as it stood October 1st, 1898. The summary of the public legislation of the Federal Par- liament will be continued from year to year, and form a tolerably com- plete index to all the statutes of general interest, and will be found of no small value to public men, newspaper editors, lawyers and others. In the preparation of some of the biographical sketches reference has been made to Morgan's Canadian Men and Women of the Time, Rose'o Cyclopedia of Canadian Biography, G. Mercer Adam's "Prom- inent Men of Canada," Pierre Roy's Sketches of the Quebec Legisla- ture, and Cochrane's " Men of Canada." The community of interest between Canada and Newfoundland, and the fact that it is the only British possession in North America outside of Canada, are sufficient reasons for devoting a chapter to Newfound- land and its legislature. In this connection acknowledgment of the services of Mr. P.J. McGrath, of St. John's Nfd., is made. Empire events find a congenial place in such a work, and those desiring a record of such happenings as the Colonial Conferences of London, and the Australian Federation Movement, will approve of their publication here, in view of the fact that they are to be found in a permanent form nowhere else. It will be the aim of the compiler to make this a book of dates as well as of facts and figures. There is no enquiry so often made as the (question of dates, for once that is answered it is easy to know where to look for particulars of a certain event. The resolutions of the Dominion Liberal Convention of 1893 are published here, for the reason that the official report of the convention is out of print and cannot be had, though often required. The B. N. A. Acts are accessible to very few, and their incorpora- tion here will be found of great value. The Franchise Act, which is printed in full, is a copy of the statute, and to all those having to do with the preparation of voters' lists and elections, it will prove a valu- able reference. Especial care has beer, taken in the preparation of the several hundred biographical sketches contained in this volume, and the editor alone is responsible foi; the statements in them, and for the political leanings assigned to each subject, authority having been ob- tained, however, in the majority of cases. 137 Kennedy Street, Winnipeg, Man., November ist, 1898 K*-i r- O J' O O iT O EXPLANATIONS In the biographical sketches certain well-known abbreviations have been used, such as b. (born;, m. (married), s. (son), d. (daugh- ter), el. (elected), v.p. (vice-prcvsident), and a few others that are generally understood, like C. for Conservative and ly. for Liberal As all the sketches are arranged alphabetically no index is required The post office addresses of legislators will be found, alphabetically arranged, immediately preceding the sketches of the members of each Legislature. On page 366, for "Colonial Conference, 1898," read 1897, and in first line for "August 25, 1898," read August 25, 1897.

E. ilc- ird Tisdall (G.) ; Confederation came about in British Columbia entirely different to that in the other provinces in the Dominion. The fathers of Confederation, as the early pioneers who engineered the confederation of the province are called, had many difTiculties to' contend with, for many of the colonists were ever to the front with claims of advantage in rexraiiimg apart. There were local irritations, pro- vincial prejudices and wei^'hty obligations to n ake good. Then again the Crown Colony of British Columbia was far removed geographically from the seat of Canadian Government, but there were amalgamation movements going forward on the American side of the line, and if British Columbia was going to remain British it seemed that confederation was the only counter force to resist the growing feeling for annexation with the United States. The popula- tion of the colonj' was largely British born, with not a few Americans inter- spersed. The country, in its physical configurations, its resources, its require- ments, was in every sense foreign to Canada. Communication and trade was almost wholly with the Pacific Coast and Great Britain, and sympathies fol- lowed to a considerable extent in the line of trade and travel. As can then be plainly seen, confederation was not brought about by sentimentalism. Brilish Columbia was at that time heavily in debt, the liabilities being $1,L00,000 for about 10,000 white people. The after effects of the Cariboo gold excitement were being experienced. Prosperity had vanished, times were depressed, money was scarce and no prospects were ahead. The true feeling at the time of con- federation was love of Canada; not for what she was, but for what she could do for them. The people soon saw the advantages to be gained. With a rail- ray from Halifax to the Pacific they would be in a most important position, botli geographically and commercially, a position which, should they annex taemselves to the United States, would always be second to California, but in lonfederation second to none. Therefore the prime movement in confederation v.as a railway, and direct comunioation with the East. This was given to them by the Canadian Government. When the agreement «f!S signed, the Canadian Government agreed to begin the building of a 3.000 mile railway within two ears, $100,000 a year in lieu of lands to be given for the railway In question, SO cents per head on a population computed at 60,000 ; deliverance from a, debt of $1,500,000 ; $500,000 for a dry dock at Esquimalt ; superannuation of officials ; $35,000 a year in support of the Government ; 5 per cent, per annum on the difference between the debt and that of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, pro rata of the population; Indians to be cared for by the Dominion, and nine representatives at Ottawa, three Senators and six members in the House of Commons. In lieu of this the Province gave up the land inclu- ded in the railway belt and customs and excise revenues. These terms were subb .^quently modified, to some extent, favorably to the Province, but none In any essential repect. The memorable debate in the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia on the subject of confederation with Canada began on March 9th, 1870, when the then Attorney-General (now Sir Henry P. P. Crease) rose and moved, "That this Council do now resolve itself Into a committee of the whole to take into ton- fidoration the terms proposed for the confederation of the Colony of British Columbia with the Dominion of Canada in His Excellency's message to this Council." The debate lasted three days, and nine days were spent discussing the details in committee. Among the speakers who took i^art were, Attorney General Crease, Dr. J. S. Helmcken, Amor de Cosmos, Tl ^mas Humphreys, if- W. T. Drake, John Robson, Joseph Trutch, Henry Holbrook, T. L. Wood, P. J. TBarnard, R. W. W. Carrall, E. Dewdney, and G. A. Walkem. At the 254 PARWAMKNTARY GUIDE close of the debate the following eommittee: Messrs. Helmsken, Carrall and Trutch, were chosen to go to Ottawa to confer with the Dominion Governmoni, I They left on May 10th, 1870, by way of San Francisco. The agreement, tbcj terms which are stated above, was made on July 7th, 1870. A lection was held in November, confederation being the main issue. I The new Council met on January 5th, 1871. Dr. Ilelmcken was nominated us Speaker, but declined. The terms of confederation as agreed upon were pa.ssei]| unanimouly, and an address was presented to His Excellency the Governor, praying that Her Majesty would be graciously pleased to admit British Co- 1 lumbia, under the provisions of the North American Act, into the Dominion ofj Canada. Responsible government was of course a natural consequence of confeder- ation, and the Bill was introduced in the Council on the 31st of January, 1S71, | to give power to alter the constitution of British Colymbia. The Bill was adop- ted on February 6th. The first election under the new constitution took place! in October, 1871. Hon. Joseph Trutch was then Lieut.-Governor. Hon. J. F, I (now judge) McCrcight being called upon to form the first administration | under its rulings. He was Premier and Attorney General. In the winter of 1872 a vote of want of confidence in the Government was passed. Mr. McCrcight and his colleagues resigned, and Hon. Amor de Cosmos was called upon to I'orm a ministry. Thus it will be seen that the form of government in British Co- lumbia Is, saving that there is no upper house, similar to that of Canada and Great Britain. I I I I i: I I EXEi W. G. H H.

Governor of Lagos, West Africa, at the time of his appointment to the Governorship of New- foundland. This island, the twelfth largest island in the worid, is situated between 46 deg. 37 m.— 51 dog. 39 m. N. lat. and 52 deg. 35m. -59 deg. 25m. W. long., on the northeast side of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. It is about 317 miles long and 316 miles broad, and contains about 42.200 square miles, and at the end of 1891 It had a population of 197,934, not including those resident in the portion of Labrador (4,106) within the jurisdiction of Newfoundland. Of these 72,342 are Roman Catholics, 68,075 Church of England, 52,672 Methodists, 1,447 Presbyter- ians, and 3 398 various. This is the olde.st English Colony. It was discovered by Sebastlayn Cabot in 1497 ; the flr&t land seen was hailed as Prima Vista— the present Cape Bona Vista. The inhabitants are chiefly located on the coast-line of the shore and bays, and the greater part are engaged in f\shing ; for cod in summer, and seal fishing in winter and spring ; these are the two main Indus- tries of the island. Lakes and rivers abound ; it is estimated that about one- third of the surface Is covered with water, "the interior was practically in a state of nature until a few years ago, but a railway has been built through the Interior, crossing th^ country from east to west, and which will open up large tracts of rich agricultural, mineral, and timber lands, but hitherto of small value. There are about 620 miles of railway at present. This railway is con- nected with the Intercolonial system of Canada by a fast ?teamer, the "Bruce," running between Sydney, the I. C. R. terminus, and Port-aux-Basques, the N. F. R. terminus, each day, covering the 90 miles in six hours, and giving dalljr communication with the American continent. The climate Is salubrious, and the people are a strong, healthy, hardy, industrious race. The thermom- eter seldom falls below zero In winter, and ranges In the shade In summer from 70 deg. to 80 deg. Labrador, a dependency of Newfoundland, forms the most easterly part of America, and extends from Blanc Sablcn In the Straits of Bellelsle on the south to Cape Chudleigh at the entrance of Hudson's Straits on the north. It possesses valuable cod, herring, trout, and salmon fisheries. There are a few Moravian missionary settlements on the coast, and also some posts of the Hudson Bay Company. The principal exports of the Colony are codfish, value $5,822,980 ; cod and seal oil, $653,228 ; sealskins. $364,854 ; tinned lobsters, $429,- 681 , herrings, salmon, and other products of the fisheries, $426,000 ; copper, copper ore, and Iron pyrites, $624,750. The Government Is a responsible one, administered by a Governor, appointed by the Crown ; a responsible Executive of seven, a Legislative Council of not over fifteen, appointed for life, and a House of Ass''mbly of thirty-six, elected by the people every four years. The first general election, under the " ballot system " and " Manhood S.'.^Trage Acts," passed in the 1889 session of the Legis- lature, and in 1890 the franchise was given to all males of 21 or over.

To put an end to this abuse, to make the House of Commons a fair exponent of public opinion, and to preserve the historic continuity of counties, it la desirable that in the forma- tion of electoral divisions, county boundaries should be preserved, and that in no case parts of different counties should be put in one electoral division. 9, The present constitution of the Senate is inconsistent with the Federal nrinciplc in our system of government, and is in other respects defective, as It makes the Senate independent of the people and uncontrolled by the public opinion of the country, and should be so amended as to bring it into harmony with the principles of popular government. 10, That whereas public attention is at present much directed to the con- sideration of the admittedly great evils of Intemperance, it is desirable that the mind of the people should bo clearly ascertained on the question of Prohibition by means of a Dominion plebiscite. the public debt an the con.^egueiit un e been continue isl i the adniinistratio Ministers and thei barges were mad r refused, while i ferred to a commis to the well settle is the ancient an 11 matters of publ nst Ministers of th isions created upo Ability of Minihtet of the House ov the powers of tl iccasions be uphel( public lands of tli culators, upon rei •easonably occupie cost the Doiiiinio avy expenditure onal expendltiup revented an annu ung voters entltl ,ed from exercisi ty, which was t as produced gro •nment of the da} THE ALASKAN BOUNDARY i-^ statement of the Position of Affairs re th< Iloundary Uctween C'Huada Alaska.

To this treaty, therefore, we must look for a deseripticn i,f| the boundary between Alaska and the adjolnlni:: territory which eoniprlBes ilit Province of British Columbia as to the southern portion of the line, and tin Northwest Territories as to the northern. The Articles of the Treaty at St! Petersburg, which especially deal with l\w\ line of demarcation are Nos. Ill and IV, which read as follows : — III. The line of demarcation between the possessions of the high contrai t- ing parties upon the coast of the continent and the islands of America to tlu^ northwest, shall be drawn in the manner following :— Commencing from the southernmost point of the island called Prince 1 Ah 1 |1ST»5, on Irnited jasHaultc Ivictorla Istfites t lllr.

IV. With reference to the line of demarcation laid down in the precedin article, it is underglood :— 1st. That the Island called Prince of Wales Island shall belong wholly t Russia. 2nd. That wherever the summit of the mountains which extend in a dire tion parallel to the coast, from the ."iGth degree of north latitude to the poi^i of Intersection of the 141st degree of west longitude, shall prove to be at th' distance of more than ten marine leagues from the ocean, the limit betwcn the British possessions and the line of coast which is to belong to Russia, a above mentioned, shall be formed by a line parallel to the windings of th coast, and which shall never exceed the distance of ten marine leagues there from. The line thus described has not yet been traced out or marked on the ground. This was not necessary so long as the business of the coast was of a local character, such as the fur trade, the fisheries, etc., and communication •with the interior was had only by Indians engaged in hunting or inter-triba trade. In respect of such traffic the high and rugged mountainous region ad jacent to the coast was a sufficient mark without a close definition of summits The development of mining in the interior has altered the case by directing considerable traffic from the sea ports to the Interior water stretches, when:' arises danger of complications in the enforcement of customs regulations, am other mea in respect of criminal and civil jurisdiction generally. tudo, not sclpntiflc To be liispute as longitude Ing down of laying tions for vitb the point, exc tains or kind are, •iiroction ) be laid d ?reater pi The d( of the dif whose difl sists in d and then liard statii fxchange method is noting at >f gunpoA^ THK AI«\SKAN BOUNDARY 357 een CHuada aii'll pasRcd, by lur-l rn as Alaska i..iill iittTcrt Into at St, r a doacrlpticn nf ic'h romprlBeK (lie the line, and tlul illy deal wltli tlicj f» : — he high contr.ii t-l if America to the] called Prince 40 inlnutos, iiortli , longitude (ni»ri along the chainn I, where it itriki^ point, the lino ofl ,ed parallel to thq of west longitiuM f intersection, thu far as the froztn possessions on tlit in the preceding belong wholly t( ixtend in a dire Itude to the poiiit 'ove to be at tin :he limit betwc^ ing to Russia, n windings of th ine leagues there marked on tbd ^e coast was of jid communieatio |ng or inter-triba ilnous region ad tition of summits se by directing Istretches. whenc regulations, aii' Ah an inatancf of this may be cited a caBe which occurn-d ho long ago an ISTt), on the Stlklne RlV(>r, which.

Ueing afterwards recaptured and trl(>d in Vl< toria for the jisnault, he pleaded that the assault was committed In United Stiites territory. This directed attention to the boundary question, and, In 1877, Mr. Joseph Hunter, on behalf of the 'llanadlan Qovernnicnt, made a survey of thf lower Stlklne and made a provisional determination, pending the final oet- ilcment by an international commlsston, of the point where the boundary line, under the treaty, should cross the river. Later on, the discovery of rich plac'rs near the point where the IMst meri- dian crossed the Yukon River, at Forty-Mile and Sixty-Mile Creeks, rendered necessary Mr. Ogllvie'e provisional survey In that region, and at the present time much attention Is being directed to the question of the undetermlnteli boundary at Lynn Canal, with reference to the routes thence to the Yukon— fhilkoot and White Passes and the Dalton Trail from Chilkat Inlet. For an understanding of the questions Involved In the determination of the boundary line at these places, as well as along the whole extent of the con- tiguous territory of Canada and the United States In the north, it may be well to point out that the boundary line defined by the treaty is naturally divided Into two parts, to be determined according to different principles. The flrali [art extends from the southernmost point of Prince of Wales Island to a cer- tain point of the continent, thence along the summit of the mountains to the 141st meridian, subject to the proviso of Article IV of the Treaty of St. Peters- burg. This is a boundary which is to be laid down according to natural fea- tures and without dependence upon latitude or longitude, except as to its ter- minal point. Ml deg. west longitude. The second part is a meridian of longi- tiide. not depending in any way upon natural features, but to bei laid down by sciontific processes of astronomy and land surveying. To begin with the second part, there is, with regard to it; no possibility of dispute as to the meaning of the treaty. It should be the meridian of 141 deg. longitude west from Greenwich. The only difficulty is the practical one of lay- ing down this longitude line with the precision necessary. The usual method of laying down such a line is to fix one point of It by astronomical observa- tions for longitude, and thence to produce the meridian line r.orth and south Titb the transit theodolite. Observations for longitude are needed at but one point, except in the event of the interruption of the line surveying by moun- tains or other insuperable obstacles. Astronomical observations of another liind are, however, taken at frequent intervals along the survey to check its fiiroctlon and hold it to its accurate north and south course, and points can thus Ibe laid down in the same longitude as the initial astronomical station with greater precision than the absolute longitude of the latter can be determined. The determination of the longitude of a point consists in the determination iof the difference of local time between it and Greenwich or some other point whose difference of time from Greenwich is already known. The process con- sists in determining the local time at the place by astronomical observation, and then comparing this time with the local time at Greenwich or other stan- dard station. The readiest mode of comparing the times of two stations is the exchange of signals by the electric telegraph where this Is available, and this Imethod is the most accurate known. But wherei the telegraph is not available, tlier means must be resorted to, such as the carrying of chronometers or the oting at each station of the instant of some visible occurrence, such as a flash f gunpowder (only available, of course, at short distances), an eclipse of the IMAGE EVALUATION TEST TARGET (MT-3) k A {./ i% ^3 ^^ ¥/. % i/.x % 1.0 I.I 1^ 150 IM 1^ 1^ .. .,.

The chronometrlc method is probably tlic next In accuracy to that by telegraph, but it is not available inland where the chronometers are liable to rough usage in carriage. The readiest method in such a case as that under consideration, far inland and away from tho telo graphs, is the method by transits of the moon. This method is, in principle, the same as the direct method of exchange of time by signals, but that the moon serves at the same time as the pigiiivl OD.sef'/>>d hnd as a record of the Greenwich time. The observer deterjniues his loc&l Ume, and at th-? same time determines the position of the moon in the lieavtns vitb reference ro the stars. The fixed stars liave an apparent motion in the sky from east to west, due to the diurnal revolution of the earth, but retain their apparent positions rela- tive to each other. The moon, while partaking with the stars in the apparent diurnal motion, has at the same time a monthly rotation of its own about the parth, by which it travels from west to east, continually changing its plaaa with regard to the stars, making a complete circuit of the sidereal heavens in rather more than twenty-seven days. Now the movement of the moon in its orbit depends upon the known attractions of the sun, earth and planets, and its path among the stars can be computed beforehand, and is so computed for \% number of years ahead and its position for each hour of every day is tabulated in the various nautical almanacs. Hence the observer who finds that the moon was in a certain place at a certain instant of his own local time, has but to refer to his almanac to find the Greenwich time at which the moon should be In that place. A direct comparison of the local time with the Greenwich time is thus obtained. The difference is his longitude. The accuracy of the lunar | method is less than that of the direct method by signals, for while an error of, say, a quarter of a second in estimating the time of the electric tap, or the j flash of the artificial signal, makes an error of one-quarter of a second in the difference of time, and therefore in the longitude ; an error of one-quarter of a | second in determining the moon's position, i.e., if the moon's time of transit over the observer's meridian is noted one-quarter of a second too soon or too ] late, the error in the longitude will be twenty-seven times as great, i.e., nearly seven seconds, for the moon, making the circuit of the stars in 27 days, has a motion relative to the stars one-twenty-seventh of their apparent diurnal mo- tion, by which the astronomer determines his time. By lunar observations, Mr. Ogilvie, on behalf of the Canadian Government, [ In the winter of 1887-88, determined a point on the Yukon River in longitude 141 deg. The place was visited In 1889 by Mr. McGrath, of the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey, who also, during two winters, took a number of lunar obser- vations. His result Is reported to agree with Mr. Ogllvie's within about 610 feet, which Is equivalent to rather more than nlne-teuths of a second ofj longitude. Tr. view of the fact stated above, that an error in the moon's place is multi- 1 plied by 27 in the longitude, the accordance Is very close. Of course, the result given by each observer does not depend upon a single observation, but upon many, and the accidental errors of individual observations by a well-known j law tends to correct one another in the mean of the individual results. In the same years, 1889 to 1891, Mr. Turner, of the U. S. Coast and Geo- detic Survey, determined the point where the 141st meridian crosses the Porcu-| pine River. No Canadian observer has yet visited this point. The mining population of the Yukon District Increasing as the news of the! rich deposits spread, Inspector Constantlne, of the North-West Mounted Police, f accompanied by Sergeant Brown, was sent in 1894 to ascertain the facts in thoj THE ALASKAN BOUNDARY 359 ase, and the best means of making efficient provision for the enforcement of kw In the district and the protection of the revenue. The necessity of ac- iion In this regard becoming apparent, a force of Mounted Police was sent to he district in the following year (1895). The greater part ot the mining being It the time on the tributaries of Forty-Mile and Sixty-Mile Creeks, close to the Wist meridian, it became necessary for the purpose of administration that a jdefinition of the line in this neighborhood should be had. This work was en- irusted to Mr. Ogllvie, who returned to the Yukon In the summer of 1895, un- instructlons to perform also such siirveying as might be necessary in con- bection with mining and land claims. In the following winter Mr. Ogllvie sur- veyed and marked out the meridian for about five miles north from his astro- iomical station of 1887-88 on the Yukon River and fifty-five miles south from it lo a point near Sixty-Mile Creek, an extent of line sufficient for existing re- Iquirements. At the time Mr. Ogilvie was sent out, the United States Govern- nent had been asked to co-operate in the survey, so as to make the resultlni^. Idpterminatlon final for international purposes, as Mr. Ogilvie's work, without jiuch international agreement, would, of course be merely provisional, as was Hr. Hunter's work on the Stikine. The United States Government, however, fteclined to co-operate at the time, expressing a preference for a joint survey of Ihe whole of the 141st meridian. A convention accordingly, providing for a joint purvey of the line from the mountains overlooking the Pacific to the Arctic jOcean, was agreed to in January, 1897, by Her Majesty's Ambassador at Wash- ington and the Secretary of State of the United States, and was submitted to. Ithe United States Senate for ratification. The Senate, however, has not yet |ratifled the convention, and the matter is at a standstill- No portion of the line been surveyed other than that surveyed by Mr. Ogllvie, as above sta ed, in |he winter of 1895-1896. The other portion of the Alaska boundary, that between the southernmost Ipoint of Prince of Wales Island and the 141st meridian, remains to be dis- Icussed. We have not now to deal with a line depending upon latitude or longi- lude which can be laid down by scientific processes, with a degree of i»re- Icision only limited by the care taken and the time expended upon the work.. IThe location of this boundary depends upon natural features as described in a Iwritten instrumen',, and cannot be established so long as any differences of in- Iterpretation of the treaty remain unsettled. Very wide differences do in fa^t lexist, and while it is not possible, at the present stage of the negotiations be- Itween the Governments, to present fully here various arguments which have Ibeen set up on behalf of divergent views, it is proposed to state briefly the main Ipoints upon which controversy may turn when the claims which may be formu- lated by the Governments come before a tribunal for adjudication. It may be premised that the question is somewhat complicated by the fact Ithat the United States are in actual occupation of the coast ; settlements have Iboen formed by their citizens on debatable territory, and their officials have, in Isome instances, puslied their junsdiction to the farthest limit which the United |States could claim under an extreme interpretation of the treaty. The point of commencement of the boundary by treaty is the southernmost llioint of Prince of Walei^ Island. There seems no difficulty in identifying this and from the recorded latitude and longitude of its southernmost point with Ithe assistance of the charts in existence at the time of the treaty negotiations. lAn exploration of the coast and the adjacent archipelago had been made by jCaptain Vancouver, 1793 and 1794, and his charts have been proved by recent JBurveys to be remarkably accurate as to the principal natural features. The |«ide range of longitude, 131 deg. to 133 deg., is given to Include the two south- 860 PARUAMBNTARY GUIDB 1; -(■■ ern promonotorles called by Vancouver Capes Muzon and Chacon, both of whii lie nearly in latitude 54 deg., 40 min.' but until recently it was not known tlia Muzon extends a little further south than Chacon. Vancouver did not cxpiori the archipelago sufficiently to ascertain all the channels among the islands, an on his chart ho shows a mass of land terminating in the two capes abov named, and calls It Prince of Wales " archipelago." Later surveys show thai this conjecture is in accordance with the facts, and that there aro several islands, Including two principal ones, thi smaller and more westerly of whic now known as Dall Island, terminates in Cape Muzon, while the large Islan retains the name Prince of Wales. This island is to be distinguished fro " Wales " Islknd, situated af the entrance to Portland Inlet. Prom the point of commencement the line " shall ascend to the nort: along the channel called Portland Channel, as far us the point of the coutinen where it strikes the n6th degree of north latitude." The question here arises a to whether Portland " Channel " is to be identified with Vancouver's Portla.ni " Canal." The difficulties are that the entrance to Portland Canal lies somi fifty miles nearly due east from Cape Chacon on Prince of Wales Island an( eighty miles from Cape Muzon, so that whichever of these capes is taken as th point of beginning, the line must pass over a long stretch of sea before It be gins to appreciably " ascend to the north," and during this part of its cours it Is not following along a " channel " at all. Again, Portland Canal does no reach the 56th degree of north latitude at all. Vancouver's chart places It northern extremity in latitude 55 deg., 15 min., or seventeen and a half statut miles south of the 5Cth parallel. Recent surveys show that it extends furthe north than Vancouver's jJoaition, but still it does not reach the parallel. the other hand, no channel, strait or inlet appears on the maps of the time o the treaty under the name of Portland, except Vancouver's Portland Canal The alternative course up Clarence Strait, terminating either at the head o Jehm's Canal or on the mainland shore in Ernest Sound would be more con sistent than the other with the direction to " ascend to the north along th channel," but the adoption of this course would seem to be tantamount t striking out of the treaty the words " called Portland Channel." On the decision as to which of these courses is to be followed depends tli ownership of a piece of continental territory about 3,000 square miles in are; and of many islands, comprising the large island called Revillagigedo Islan and the Annette Island group, and containing in all an area, of about 1,M square miles. Tl^^se islands, as well as the mainland shore, are of importauc on account of their fisheries, there being several canneries and fish curing os tablishments. Mining has received but little attention in this region, but it i probable that valuable minerals will be found both on the islands and th mainland. Northward from the 56th degree of north latitude the line is to " follow th summit of the mountains situated parallel to the coast, as far as the point Q intersection of the Ulec degree of west longitude," subject to the condition i .Article IV of the treaty, that wherever the summit shall prove to be more tha ten marine leagues (30 geographical miles, or about 34^ statutory miles) froi the ocean, the boundary shall be formed by a line parallel to the windings o the coast, and never more than ten marine leagues therefrom. To fully undci stand these provisions topographical information is required, which can only b procured by actual survey, and in 1892. by convention, the United States an Great Britain agreed " that a coincident or joint survey (as may be found i practice most convenient) shall be made of the territory adjacent to that pai of the boundary line of the United States and the Dominion of Canada dividin the t€ West point westw severa the fa line, i to it I Th veys 1 report Ing th to the flowinj of the which sea.

The Commissioners appointed under this convention carried on their sur- veys in 1893, 1894 and 1395, and, on the 31st December, 1895, rendered a joirt report of their operations, with which they submitted topographical maps show- ing the natural features of the country from the shores of the mainland back to the high mountains which form the watershed separating the smaller streams flowing Into the Pacific from the waters of the Yukon and the upper tributaries of the large streams, such as the Unuk, Stikine, Taku, Chilkat and Als»k, which rise In the Interior and cut through the mountains in their course to the sea. The maps show in detail the contours of the mountains which lie between the high range mentioned and the shore, so that from them can be selected the mountain summits required by the treaty. The high watershed mountains above referred to lie on an average about fifteen miles from the coast of the continent, and the mountains nearest the coast frequently rise abruptly from the sea, with their summits not more than two or three miles from it. The Interruption of the regular succession o£ these last by valleys and ravines has, in some quarters led to the idea that the boundary line of the treaty is imprac- ticable, and it has been rather absurdly Imagined that the negotiators of the treaty of St. Petersburg, supposed that this mountain range, unlike any other mountain range In the world, presented an uninterrupted knife-like ridj.> throughout its whole extent. On this notion of impracticability of determina- tion and survey of the treaty line has been based a contention that the whole boundary must be traced parallel to the windings of the coast and ten marine' leagues from it, thus receding to the extreme limit set by the treaty. Such ti- line again has been pronounced impracticable and a suggestion has been made of an alteration In the treaty to provide for a rectification of the frontier by a system of straight lines drawn between points to be established on the main routes to he interior in such a manner as to cut off an area equal to that which the United States is entitled to under the treaty. An informal discussion of this last proposition took place between officers of the United States and Canadian Governments in 1888. In this discussion the difficulty became apparent of deciding what area each country was entitled to, and this could not be determined without a survey. At the same time It was evident that with a survey tlie necessity of adopting a system of straight Unas to replace the natural boundary, would cease ; a natural boundary, especially when it follows the summit of mountains, usually above the timber line, where it Is forever unlikely that any settlements will be made or interests clash, is far preferable as a dividing line to fvay system of straight lines, which, more- over, would be difficult and expensive to lay out and mark In the first place and to maintain In the future, and the sole advantage of a survey In relation to the proposition of a compromise boundary would be to enable another natural boundary to be substituted for that of the treaty, should the survey show that to be Impracticable. However, now that the survey has been made, it is be- lieved that the Information available is sufficient for the purpose of tracing out » boundary in accordance with the terms of the treaty. In connection with this part of the boundary a question arises as to the 362 PARUAMBNTARY GUIDE l\ meaning of " coast " in tbe treaty. In Article III, the boundary line is to fol- low the summit of the mountains situated parallel to the coast, and Article IV provides that wherever these mountains are more than ten marine lea^uis from the ocean, tbe line shall be drawn parallel to the coast and at a distance not exceeding ten marine leagues therefrom. There are three ways in which the word " coast " in these articles could be understood. First, the ** coast " being the border of the " ocean " by Article IV, the " ocean " might mean the " high seds," not including any land-locked water or channel which is less than elx marine miles wide, in accordance with the rule that the sea for a dis- 4aeioe of three miles from land is territorial water. The " coast " then would be the coast of the archipelago which, from below latitude 56 deg. to Cape Spencer, in latitude S8 deg., 15 min., fringes the continent, and the islands of which are separated from one another and from the mainland by channels in many places less than six miles wide. It is to be remarked that this coast line would be almost everywhere more than ten marine leagues from the mainland. jSecond : The line of coast may be the shore line of the salt water running up and down the inlets which penetrate the mainland. Third : The line of coast may be the general coast line of the continent without reference to the islands, and thosn inlets which are less than six miles wide at their mouths may b^ considered territorial or inland waters, so that the coast line crosses their mouths from headland to headland, and the line of the summits of the moun- tains behind can be followed as if the inlets were rivers. The mainland from opposite Prince of Wales Island to Cape Spencer is in- dented by numerous inlets, cutting through the mountain range adjacent to the shore and extending to the lower slopes of the great watershed range behind. These inlets are all less than six miles wide, with the exception of Lynn Canal, twhich, while more than six miles wide at its entrance, narrows to less thanj six miles about twenty-five miles from its mouth, near Point Bridget, the south- erly headland of Berner's Bay. From Berner's Bay northward the Canal be-| comes gradually narrower until, at Seduction P^int, about twenty-eight milei from the first narrowing of the Canal, it separates into two inletii, which still| retain, with slight divergence, the general northerly direction of Lynn Canal These inlets are Chilkat Inlet to the west, 10 miles long, and Chilkoot InletJ with its continuation of Taiya or Dyea Inlet to the east, 25 miles long. Hence,| considering the coast line to be at Point Bridget, a line from summit to summii of the nearest mountains inland therefrom, would (since Lynn Canal is, aloni its whole length, bordered by mountains 5,000 to 6,000 feet high) place th whole of the upper part of the Canal in Canada. Or, again, a line parallel t this coast line and ten marine leagues from it will barely more than reach Seduction Point and will cut off nearly the whole length of both Chilkat am Chilkoot Inlets. On the other hand, if the shore line of the inlets is th( " coast," all Lynn Canal, with Chilkat and Taiya Inlets, and the landini places for several much-used routes to the Yukon, namely Dyea and Whiti Passes, at the head of Chilkoot, and the Dalton Trail, at the head of Chilka Inlet, will belong to the United States, and the points where the boundary crosses these trails will have to be determined by the summits of the moun tains parallel to the shores of the inlets. Whatever definition of " coast " may be adopted, it is evident that an earl; definition of the boundary in this quarter at least is much to be desired in thi .iiterests of all . parties. West of Cape Spencer the character of the coast is in many respects differ] ent from that to the east and south of the Cape. It is broken by comparative): few Inlets ; the archipelago comes to an end and the mountains rise abrupt!: THE ALASKAN BOUNDARY 363 iry line is to fol- it, and Article IV D marine lea^uis and at a distance ee ways in which Irst. the " coast " " might mean the nel which is less the sea for a dis- oast " then would !. 56 deg. to Cape and the islands of nd by channels in ;hat this coast line rom the mainland. ^^^ ^j ^^^2 have shown that the difficulties were over-estimated.

St. Elias Ips, which rise to heights much exceeding the mountains further east. The Iminating point in Mount St. Elias, two and a half miles from the 14l8t meri- lian and over IS.OOO feet above the sea. In conclusion, It Is hoped that a speedy settlement of tftis boundary ques- loD may be reached. It is now a quarter of a century since the Government of iritish Columbia first directed attention to the desirability of avoiding inter- ational disputes and friction by the demarcation of the boundary. The Oo- inion Government has several times pressed the Government of the United Itates to take action in the matter, but exaggerated estimates of the cost of , espedjtily of the coast atrip, rhave induced hesttatton to embftrk in auch undertaking. It was estimated that the cost to each country would amoimt 10 $1,500,000 at least, and that for a modified scheme, not the whole* of the line eflned by the treaty.

That in the opinion of this Congress differences or disputes arising betweeiflect ; th different governments, which cannot be adjusted by diplomatic agency, should as far as possible, be referred to arbitration. 2. That in the cpinion of this Congress the laws relating to Bills of Ex change should be made uniform in th© British Empire, also that unlforrait pinion iovemm leans a' 10. 1 with the laws of Continental Powers should, wherever practicable, be. estab lishAd internationally. 3. That this Congress expresses strong disapproval of the method adopte pectfullj in bills of lading of inserting clauses contracting shipowners practically out o all liability, and requests the London Chamber of Commerce tc arrange confer encos with shipowners in order to eliminate these clauses, or falling such con ferences, that steps be taken by the associations forming the Congress to Intro duce bills Into the respective parliaments defining the liabilities of shipownen lat copi( 4. That this Congress desires to express its satisfaction at the steady pro ter, the gresB which has been made in advancing the principle of conciliation and arbl le leade tration in labor disputes and avoidance thereby, in many instances, of the diapa and aetrous effects of strikes and lockouts, and pledges itself to use its utmost ei deavors to promote the extension of the movement throughout the Empire, 5.

OD »* utes arising betweei Ltic agency, shoul Ing to Bills of Ex iBO that uniformlt: icticable, be estab biKhly expedient that the. commercial law of the whole British Empire should now be embodied in a code ; and that, therefore, government be memoralized by the Congress to initiate the steps necessary in order to the appointment for the purpose of drafting such a code, of a commission on which the United King- dom and all the colonies and coumries embracea in the Empire should be duly represented. 6. That us a first step towards Imperial Federation It Is desirable that a consultative Imperial council should be formed, whoso members for the tlmo being should be resident in the United Kingdom ; that the council should be called together in the cases where the general interests of the colonies repre- sented are afi-;cted in matters of trade, finance or imperial defence ; that this council should consist of members elected by every self-governing colony in the game adequate and relative proportion to its electorate, and that its functions [ihould be purely consultative ; that the Crown Colonies should also be repre- sented on this council. 7. That the law of copyright should be uniform throughtout the Empire. 8. Whereas the British system of weights and measures which vary cDn- [itantly In every part of the British Empire, is a source of constant annoyance, loes of time and a formidable obstacle to local, imperial and foreign trade; and horeas the metric system has now been universally recognized as the most [perfect decimal system and is generally adopted by nations of both continents pith the exception of the British Empire and the United States of America ; be t resolved that the metric system of weights and measures be adopted without urther delay by the several governments of the Empire, the yard being ex- tended to the metre, the quart to the litre and the two-pound weight to the ilogramme. 9. That this Congress views with regret the movement of the surplus popu- tion of Great Britain to foreign lands, thus drawing from the strength of the Impire ; that this Congress looks upon such a tendency as not only wasteful of e vitality of the Empire but altogether unnecessary, seeing that the British olonies and dependencies offer fields for emigration as attractive as, if not ore attractive than, can be found in any foreign country ; that within the luunds of the British Empire the emigrant can find any variety of climate and ach success in any pursuit and yet retain all the privileges of a British sub- t ; therefore, this Congress deems it the duty of the Imperial and Colonial ovemments, as well as of all patriotic citizens of the Empire, to use every eans available to encourage emigration to the colonies. 10. That this Congress of Chambers of Commerce of the Empire Is of inion that the establishment of closer commercial relations between the nited Kingdom and the colonies and dependencies is an object which deserves id demands prompt and careful consideration ; the Congress, therefore, re- «ctfully represents to Her Majesty's Government that If the suggestion should made on behalf of the colonies or some of them, it would be right and ex- dlent to promote such consideration and the formation of some practical plan, summoning an Imperial Conference thoroughly representative of the inter- its Involved and by such other means as Her Majesty may be advised to adopt: at copies of this resolution be forwarded to the President, to the Prime Min- er, the First Lord of the Treasury, the Secretary of State for the Colonies, e leaders of the Opposition in both Houses, the High Commissioner of Can- la. and the Agents-General for the other colonies. U. Whereas an extension of direct telegraphic communication throughout e Empire would considerably facilitate and increase the commercial relations the mother country and her several colonies and be also a source of ae- irity and strength in maintaining uninterrupted hourly communication In the 866 PAKLIAMBNTARY GUIDB time of war ; and whereas the Atlantic and Canadian systeraB now extoti'iml to the Paclflc coast offer special advantages over all other routes, to oBtubllal direct telegraphic communication, a cable should be laid between Australia a Canada without further delay, the Imperial and Colonial Governments dlnrt interested being respectfully requested to offer such inducements to the '^o atructing company as may determine the laying of the Pacific cable at t earliest possible moment. 12. That the levying of light dues on shipping should be abolished and th the cost of maintaining the lighthouses, beacons, buoys, etc., on the roauts the United Kingdom should in future be a charge upon the Consolidated Funi 13. That in view of the difHculties correspondents experience in prepay! closed replies to letters sent to foreign countries and especially the lirltl colonies and dependencies (a facility which exists in regard to open post'an and telegrams) the Council be requested on behalf of the Congress to comiiiu cate with the Imperial and Colonial postal authorities for the purpose of n commending (a) that the reply letter card (used by France and Ceylon for i land correspondence) be adopted by the British Imperial Postal Service us means of facilitating and increasing intercourse through the British Empi (b) that the reply letter card is applicable to international communication the same way as the open reply postal card and that the recent objections it c«.a be met, (c) that at the Postal Union Congress to bo held in Washlngt in 1897, the British and Colonial Postmasters-General be requested to tai steps for the extension of the reply-letter card to International Postage as efncient substitute for the oft-proposed International Postage stamp and 1 open to the objections raised on the ground of the financial difficulty involve 2nd Resolution :— "\Miereas a reduction in postal rates would facilitate ai Increase the commercial relations of the mother country and her many colon and possessions ; and whereas the local rates of the several colonies most cessarily vary according to their special conditions of territory, population a| transport, this Congress recommends that the British penny should carry pes matter from Great Britain and Ireland to everj' British colony and that in turn each Colonial Government should also carry postal matter at its presi provincial rate to every portion of the Empire. 16. That inasmuch as the system of sound signals for use in fog, prop^ at the Washington Conference, has been condemned as dangerous and use! by all classes directly responsible for the safety of the mercantile marine this country and by the shipping interests in many other countries it is pedient that the British Government should endeavor to secure the consent all the foreign powers to the withdrawal of the proposed new signal sounds.

COLONIAL CONFERENCE, 1898 A Parliamentary paper was published August 25, 1898, containing a memor- andum on the " proceedings of a conferi'nce between the Secretary of State for llie Colonies and the Premiers of the self-governing colonies, at the Colonial OfDce, London, June and July, 1897." The memorandum Is introduced by the I following despatch from Mr. Chamberlain to Governor-General the Earl of Aber- deen (Canada) :— Downing Street, August 13. My Lord,— In my despatch of January 28 last, conveying to the Premiers of the self-governing colonies the invitation to be present at, and take part in, the celebration of the 60th anniversary of Her Majesty's accession, I intimated to you the hope of Her Majesty's Government that their presence here might af- ford a valuable opportunity for the informal discussion of many subjects of I great interest to the Empire. I have now the honor to enclose for your infor- mation a memorandum showing how that hope was fully realized, and giving An account of the business transacted. Her Majesty's Government desire to put on record their strong sense of the loyal and patriotic spirit which wae shown by all the representatives of the colonies in the course of their discussions. They are well aware that many of them came here at considerable sacrifice I of personal convenience, but they hope that their colonial colleagues are aatla- Pcd that their visit has been productive of great advantage to the Empire, and that the conferences which have been held have resulted In such a free inter- change of views as will have a lasting and beneficial effect in securing a com- {plcte mutual understanding between the colonies and the mother country. I have, etc., J. CHAMBERLAIN. Similiar despatches were addressed to the Governors of New South Wales, [Victoria, New Zealand, Queensland, Cape of Good Hope, South Australia and I Natal. The memorandum is as follows :— On Thursday, June 24, the Prime Ministers of Canada, New South Wales, I Victoria, New Zealand, Queensland, Cape Colony, South Australia, Newfound- land, Tasmania, Western Australia and Natal assembled at the Colonial Office, Downing street, for the discussion of certain Imperial questions with the Sec- retary of State for the Colonies. It was decided that the proceedings should be Informal, and that the general results only be published. With the view of giving a definite direction to the discussion, the Secretary of State, In open- ing the proceedings, set forth the subjects which he considered might usefully be discussed, so as to secure an Interchange of views upon them, and, where jthey were ripe for a statement of opinion, a definite resolution in regard to them, in the following speech :— MR. CHAMBERLAIN'S SPEECH I bHVo iiiiidc arrangerniuite for a full shorthand report of all our proctid- IngF, which will be confidential, udIohb wc othfrwlsc desire, but copies, nfj course, will be furnished to every gentleman for ref('rence, and possibly, latirj on, If we come to any conclusions, we may consider further whether It is d "- Hlrable or not that any public statemi^nt should be made. In the meantiinr, iintll wo come to a united conclusion upon the subject, the proceedings will hi> treated as absolutely confidential. I desire at the outset of these proceedings to offer to you, on behalf of Ihrl Majesty's Government, a hearty and cordial welcome. You will have seen Inl your short visit to this country that all parties, and all classes, are animtitidl by the most affectionate feelings of regard towards our colonial fellow subjn ts. I think that you may also feel that the main object of your visit has alroiulyl been to a great extent accomplished. The great pageant to which you roii-| tributed so interesting a feature, has shown to this country, to the coloniis, and to all the world, the strength, the power, the resources, and the loyalty ofl the British Empire. It was, I think we shall all agree, a most remarkable anc'* absolutely unparalleled demonstration of personal loyalty to a Sovereign and ot| the essential tinity of the Empire. Her Majesty's Government, while very anxious to take this opportunity of] an Interchange of views with you on many matics of common Interest, have| carefully avoided suggesting anything in the nature of a formal cow- ftrence. We do so, in the first place, because we do not wish to de-| tract in any way from the personal character of this visit, and also because we do not desire to take advantage of your presence to force upon yoi discussions on which you might be unwilling at this moment to enter. On thd other hand, wo are open to consider In the most friendly and the most favoH able way any representations which may be made to us by the representatives of the self-governing colonies, having regard to the present or the future rela-j tions between the different parts of the Empire, and in this respect we are in the position of those who desire rather to learn your views than to p^ess ourij upon you. I might, I think, upon this sit down and invite your opinions, buj it has been suggested to me, and it seems reasonable to suppose, that it might be convenient to you at this, our preliminary meeting, If I were to state, ni briefly as I can, the subjects which appear to us to be most worthy of ouJ Joint consideration, and then it will be for you to say whether these subjectsl or any of them, are such as you would like to consider more formally and \{ detail, in which case I hope we may arrange for subsequent Interviews ■wita that object ; but to-day I will state for your consideration a list of subjects, anij I will ask you to give me your views as to the way In which they should subj sequently be dealt with. POLITICAL RELATIONS. Now, gentlemen, undoubtedly the greatest, the most Important and at thl same time the most difficult of all the subjects which we could consider is thj question of the future relations, politically and commercial, between the selfj governing colonies and the United Kingdom. I do not think It Is necessarf for me to argue at all upon the advantages of such closer union. Strong as the bond of sentiment and Impossible as it would be to establish any kind relations unless that bond of sentiment existed, I believe we all feel that 1 would be desirable to take advantage of It and toi still further tighten the tiej which bind us together. In this country, at all events, I may truly say tha There Ist we al |believe I ilatlonshl 111 want KMPIRB UVENTS 869 tb'> Idea of federation is In the air. Whothcr with you it has gone so far in for y( u to lay, and it is aino for you to consider whether we ctm Rive any practi* ohI application to the principlo. It may be well that thu time in hardly ripe for i>nything deflnite Ir thia regard. It is quit*; true that our own constlt'ition and four conRtltutlona have all been the subject of very hIow growth, uml that they iri> all the stronger because they have been gradually consolidated, and so, perhaps, with Imperial Federation ; if it is ever to be accomplished it will be only after the lapse of a considerable time Hud only by gradunl Hteps. And undoubtedly one of those steps, to which we must all attach vory great Importance, is the grouping of the colonies. We rejoice in this country that Ctinada has already shown the way, with resultu which every one has seen have Bses, are aniniHtidBconduced greatly to her strenRth and to her proaperity. We observe with the lal fellow subjci tH.Bmo8t lively Interest the proceedings which are taking place in Australia with [the same view. We know that in South African politics the same Idea has Ibullted very largely in the past, and probably will come to the front again. In rppard to all these matters it is not for us to offer advice ; It is not for us to rc'SB upon you in any ehape our interference or our assistance. If it be possible lor us in any way to help you to give effect to your own desires, I need not y that we are entirely at your service ; but in the meanwhile I can assure ou, on behalf, I am sure, of the people of this country, that wo most heartily l.sh success to your efforts, believing, as I have said, that it will in your case, 8 it has already done in the case of Canada, conduce to your prosperity and :o your power. But as regards the larger question and anything in the naturo f a federation of the Empire, the subject seems to me to depend entirely upon he feeling which exists in the colonies themselves. Here you will be met half e to force upon you ray. The question is whether up to the present time there is such a genuine ^t to enter. On th( lopular demand for closer union as would Justify us in considering practical nd the most favor iroposals to give it shape. the representative! I feel that there is a real necessity for some better machinery of consulta- or the future rela ion between the self-governing colonies ana the mother country, and it has respect we are Ir ometlmee struck me— I offer It now merely as a personal suggestion— that it than to press oun night be feasible to create a great council of the Empire, to which the colonies your opinions, bu rould send representative plenipotentiaries— not mere delegates who were un- )pose, that it mighi ble to speak in their name without further reference to their respective gov- were to state, ai rnments, but persons who, by their positions in the colonies, by ihelr repre- lost worthy of oui rntative character, and by their close touch with colonial feeling would be ther these subjects ble, upon all subjects submitted to them, to give really effective and valuable )re formally and ii Jvice. If such a council were to be created it would at once assume an im- ent interviews witl lense importance, and it is perfectly evident that it might develop into some- list of subjects, an( ilng still greater. It might slowly grow to that Federal Council to which we lUBt always look forward as our ultimate ideal. And to a council of this kind would be committed, In the first Instanc. the IspuBsion of all minor subjects of common interest, and their opinion wou.d be iken and would weigh most materially in the balance, before any decision ere come to either by this country or by the Legislaturee of the several col- lies in regard to such matters. f all our proct . il- •e, but copies, (if ind poHsibly, Im.r whether it is :.. M the bravery of her population and the patriotism of her people she would sti be, to a great extent, a dependent country. Look at Australia again. I need not dwell on the point at length, but find the same thing. The interests of Australia have already, on more th one occasion, threatened to come into conflict with those of two of the greate military nations of the continent, and military nations, let me add, who al possess each of them a very large, one of them an enormous, fleet. There m be also questions of difficulty arising with eastern nations, with Japan or ev with China, and under those circumstances the Australasian colonies are precisely the same position as the Dominion of Canada. In South Africa, addition to the ambitions of foreign countries, to which I need not further lude, cur colonies there have domestic rivals who are heavily armed, prepan both for offence and defence ; and again I say, nothing could be more suicldBf the or more fatal than for any of those great groups of colonies either to separaBhe for themselves in the present stage from the protecting forces of the mother couBhese s •try or to neglect themselves to take their fair share in those protective rMhal] b But ibility Tcater It Kint casioi lay be ilain El me to lonths, is coui sources. COLONIAL ASSISTANCE. What, then, I want to urge upon you is, and in doing so I think I aB"t a s speaking to those who are already converted, that we have a common interew'^''^li r in this matter, and certainly it has been a great pleasure to us, a great pri to us, that Australia, in the first inEtanoe, offered voluntarily a contribution aid of the British navy besides taking her full share of her own military fences. Now we have to recognize that Cape Colony has followed in that paii otic course. I do not know upon what conditions these gifts may be offered continued, but, at all events, the spirit in which they have been made is mM Britis heartily reciprocated Tn this country. The amount, of course, is at the preswould i time absolutely trifling, but that is not the point. We are looking to the cflfniy- 1 onies as still children, but rapidly approaching manhood. In the lifetima, pM^^'ctioi haps, of some of us we shall see the population doubled, and certainly in lifetime of our descendants, there will be great nations where now there comparatively sparse populations ; and to establish in the early days this prB^e pract ciple of mutual support and of a truly Imperial patriotism Is a great thing! But j which our colonial statesmen may well be proud. I shall be very glad to hear the views of the Premiers in regard to tWuntry question of any contribution which they think the colonies would be willingP''y opei make in order to establish this principle in regard to the naval defence of W of th( Empire. As regards the military defence of the Empire, I am bound to ■"ny raa that we are still behindhand, although a great deal has been done in rec^"" tim years. As you know, the Colonial Defence Committee of experts has b*^''. is a sitting, and has accorapirshed already, with the assistance of the colonies*'' a rec very great improvement in the state of things which existed before ; bu»stion tc cannot say from the information at my disposal that with all the magniflcfflifit I i resources of the colonies their organization at present is satisfactory. ThisB'sht eqi more a matter of detail, and I do not propose to dwell upon it now, but I woP^e seer remind the Premiers assembled that if war breaks out war will be sudden, m^^ plac< there will be no time for preparation then. Therefore, it is of the first impi ance that we, all having a common interest, should have beforehand a sch of common defence against any possible, or at all events any probable, ene; and we ought to have these schemes of defence before us. In the case of si of the colonies schemes have already been prepared ; in others no scheme nadiar ainst t I pass Jlatfons ake thos been prepared or concerted up to the present time, and I believe it is most ■"'inient sirable that that omission should be repaired. It is also most desIrable,P''''" time to time, flgfit side by side with their British colleagues. That, how- of experts has h '^^< ^^ ^ matter which, like everything else which I am putting before you, is li of the colonies "* a recommendation which has any pressure behind it ; it is merely a sug- iatpd before • bu fstion to be taken up by you voluntarily if it commends itself to your minds. th all the magniflc hat I have suggested might take place with regard to Canada, I believe atisfactory. This 'sht equally take place with regard to such fine forces as those of which we I . . j^Q^ ijut I wo 've seen representatives from some of the colonies of Australia, and might will be' sudden, 1 ^^ place also with regard to the South African colonies, lis of the first impo beforehand a schf any probable, enei In the case of s( I others no scheme ] believe it is most [so most desirable, COMMERCIAL RELATIONS. I pass on, then, to another question, and that is as to the future commercial lations between this country and her colonies. How far is it possible to akp those relations closer and more intimate ? I have said that I believe in ntlraent as the greatest of all the forces in the general government of the Brld, but, at the same time, I should like to bring to the reinforcement of 874 PARUAMBNTARY GUIDE I 1 bentlment the motives which arc derived from material and personal Interes But undoubtt>dly the fiscal arranRcments of the different colonies differ so muc among themselves, and all differ so much from those of the mother countrji that it would be a matter of the greatest complication and difficulty to arrivi at any conclusion which would unite us commercially in the same sense i which the zollverelh uhited the Empire of Germany. It may be borne in mln that the history of that zollverein is most interesting and most instructive. l commenced entirely as a commercial convention, dealing in the first instano only partially with the trade of the Empire, it was rapidly extended to includ< the whole trade of the Empire, and it finally made possible and encouraged tb< ultimate union of the Empire. But this is a matter upon which at the prcsen time, rather than suggest any proposals of my own, I desire to hear the viewi of the gentlemen present. In the meanwhile, however, I may say that I note resolution which appears to have been passed unanimously at the meeting o: the Premiers in Hobart in which the desire was expressed for closer commercial arrangements with the Empire, and I think it was suggested that a commissio of inquiry should be created in order to see in what way practical effect migh be given to the aspiration. If that be the case, and if it were thought that a the preoent time you were not prepared to go beyond inquiry, if it were th [.eoHp wish of the other colonies, of Canada and of the South African colonies, to joii in such an inquiry, Her Majesty's Government would be delighted to make ar rangements for the purpose and to accept any suggestions as to the form of th naire T reference and the character and constitution of the commission, and would ver [onflne gladly take part in it. But that brings me to another question connected with commercial rela tions and of great importance. I refer to the treaties at present existing be twecn the mother country, acting on behalf of the colonies as well as of her self, and foreign countries. The question has been raised at various times 1; the shape of resolutions or sugL itions from the colonies that certain treatiei notably a treaty with (Jermany and a treaty with Belgium, should be dej nounced. It should be borne in mind that that is for us a most importa: But passing fign CO control] The (mmer Ihe sub wa, a thos< Jprobabl; question. Our trade with Germany and Belgium is larger than our trade will progresj all the colonies combined. It is possible that if we denounced those treatie /^^^ ^j^ Germany and Belgium would endeavor, I do not say they would succeed, bii |fj]j j,q they might endeavor to retaliate, and for some '.ime, at any rate, our commei cial relations with these two countries might be disturbed. Therefore, a step o that kind is one which can only be taken after the fullest consideration and i Thet deference to very strong opinion both in this country and in the colonies. No^ jf^iy ^j. the question is brought to a practical issue, by the recent action of Canadi ^g ggjj^ As all are aware, Canada has offered preferential terms to the mother countr] q regar and Germany and Belgium have immediately protested and claimed simila |,g j^g^^^ terms under these treaties. Her Majesty's Government desire to know froi fju ^^^ the colonies whether, so far as they are concerned, if it be found that the ai ^ve be< rangements proposed by Canada are inconsistent with the conditions of thoE resent treaties, they desire that those treaties shall be denounced. If that be tli |,]g p^.^. unanimous wish of the colonies, after considering the effect of that denuncii tlon upon them as well as upon us, because they are also concerned in the a; rangements which are made by these treaties, then all I can say at the prese: time is that Her Majesty's Government will most earnestly consider such a n commendatfon from the colonies and will give to it the favorable regard whi such. a memorial deserves. ot ours e steal ly our d Iceply In untry. resentat has CO Imated i EMPIRE KVENTS 375 d personal Interos mles differ so muc he mother country difficulty to arrlv the same sense i y be borne In mln naost Instructive.

Bnt I should add that there is another question which is still more difficult, ut about which I only wish to offer a word of warning to the representati /es resent. Besides those two treaties, which are very special in their terras and hlch prevent the preferential arrangement, or which appear to prevent the referential arrangement contemplated by Canada, we have a most favored na- ion clause in all our treaties to which most of the colonies are parties. I may xplain that, under the terms of the Canadian resolution if any foreign nation ere to offer to Canada beneficial terms as defined in the resolution, Canada ould then be bound to give to that country the same preference as is offered :o Great Britain. Let me suppose, for instance, that it was a minor country like Hollland, and assume, for the sake of argument, that Holland offered these advantages, thereupon Canada would be compelled to give the same terms to r at the meeting o [joHand that she now offers to the mother country. She would thea be bound ly most favored nation treaties to give the same terms to practically to every Important commercial country in the world. It would be, I think, a matter of liupossibility to denounce those treaties because that involves the whole trade 9f the Empire, and in some cases there is no term of denunciation in the reaties. But, of course, the whole difficulty can be avoided— I only pc^nt it out In ■passing— the whole difficulty can be avoided by any colony which desires to s to the form of tb ^^^.^ ^.j^g preferential arrangement with the mother country if that colony will jion, and would ver; [ojjflne its offer of nomination to the mother country, and not make it to a for- (Ign country, but If it is offered to a foreign country, then, as I say, it will be controlled by the most favored nation treaties throughout the world. The next point to which I will allude very briefly in connection with our ■ccmmcrclal relations is th? question of important communications. That was at various times 1 [j,g subject of very important resolutions at the time of the conference at Ot- that certain treaties jj^^^^ g^^^ already I am happy to think that considerable effect has been given to those resolutions in regard to the fast mail service, which was the first .and irobably the most important of those resolutions.

There is, however, still pending the question of a Pacific cable passing en- n the colonies. No^irdy through British territory. Upon that we desire to have the opinions of It action of CanadJ the mother countrj and claimed slmila consider such a n rorable regard whlc he gentlemen present as to how far they are prepared to go. I would say in n regard to this, and also in regard to the fast steam service, in dealing with he matter at all, we are giving the most striking proof we can of our good leslre to know froi ,iii and of our desire to meet your wishes. Neither of these proposals would e found that the ai lave been made by us. I frankly say that we are not dissatisfied with the conditions of thos resent arrangements; we do not feel, although we think that they are valu- ed. If that be th tie proposals, yet we do not feel that they are urgent, and therefore we should ct of that denuncU lot ourselves, or by ourselves, have been disposed to offer subsidies either to concerned in the ai he steamboat service or to the Pacific cable, and we are only induced to do it n say at the presei y our desire to show that in any matter in which our colonies are themselves eeply Interested they may count upon the support and assistance of the mother ountry. Well, In regard to the Pacific cable, the matter stands thusl A re- resentatlve committee was appointed, which has discussed the whole subject ; 1 has come to the conclusion that such a cable is practicable, has roughly es- Imated the cost (which is probably less than was originally anticipated), and 376 PARLIAMBNTARY GUIDE i has also estimated the probable returns. What remains, however, to be cn- tiuired into is as to the subsidies which the several colonies are prepared io| give towards this undertaking. Without In this venturing to pledge my col- leagues, I say that to any proposal which may be made by the colonies the| Government will give their most favorable consideration. I also should mention the desire which is widely felt, and which I share,! for an improved postal communication with the colonies. I believe that that! matter rests entirely with the colonies themselves, and that they have reveuuol dlfflculties in the matter which have hitherto prevented us coming to any con- 1 elusion. But I confess that I think that one of the very first things to bind together the sister nations is to have the readiest and easiest possible com- munication between their several units, and, as far as this country is con- cerned, I believe we should be quite ready to make any sacrifice of revenue I that may be required in order to secure a universal penny post throughout! the Empire. COMMERCIAL CODE. A very desirable, but minor, point would be, if it were possible, and I aol not think that there is any serious practical difllculty, an agreement as to I a commercial code for the Empire. We all know that trade relations are! guided very much by the simplicity with which they can be conducted, and If we had throughout the British Empire the same law in regard to all commercial! matters, I have no doubt whatever that that 'n itself would be a strong in- ducement that the course of trade should tak<, the direction that we desire. This, however, Is a matter of detail ; I should only desire an expression ofl opinion as to the desirability of It, but If It were thought really a desirable! thing to accomplish it might be secured by an expert commission which would I settle the details, and I think I have already circulated to the Premiers a mem-| orandura on the subject, which has been prepared by the Parliamentary drafts- men of this country and which would be the basis for discussion by any com- mission which might be appointed. A difficulty has arisen, which is local, I think, to Australia, with regard tol the settlement of load lines. The settlement of load lines has been undertaken! in this country with a view to securing the safety of ships at sea, and of thej men who go down to the sea In them, and a load line has been established Inl the United Kingdom. It would be absolutely impossible for the United King-j dom, as long as that is In force, to recognize any other load line less safe than] their own, because otherwise It would lead to a transfer of trade. It would bej perfectly natural, If a shipowner wished to escape the obligations of the law, tol transfer himself to a colonial registry, and to come Into competition with our I shipowners with arrangements which, although more profitable, are certainl7| less safe. But some difficulty has arisen In regard to this In some of the Aus- tralian colonies, and I should be very glad to see that removed. I hope that a| proposal which I have to make to you will entirely remove any further diffi- culty, arid It Is that the British Board of Trade should add to the expert auth- ority which has from time to tfme to decide the load line representatives of the! icolonles concerned. In that way the voice of the colonies and the Interests ofl Ihe colonies In any local question would be fully heard before a joint line wasf agreed upon. THE PlkRIS EXHIBITION. I have also a small matter to ask your instructions upon in regard to thel Paris Exhibition for the year 1900. We were very anxious. If possible, to secure! a united representation of 'the Empire In one building.

I has proved to bej ||mpo«8lble owing to the French arrangements and the way in which they have Idlvided the exhibition; but what we hope we have secured is this, that a special I colonial building for the whole of the colonial exhibition, in a flrst-rate situa- Ition and exactly opposite thei French colonial exhibition, shall be reserved, and lall the colonies will then exhibit together in a single building. In the other lone would be the French colonial exhibits, but the exhibits of the motlher Icountry of France and the mother country of the United Kingdom will be in leach case in a separate building. In regard to this matter it has been pro- posed to put representatives of all the colonies upon the Royal Commission. lit will be a position of honor and importance. But wo are in this difflcuity, Ithat the Agents-General who would naturally suggest themselves are, I believe, {rather a varying body, that some of them are likely no longer to be holding office in 1900, and that, therefore, it will be necessary to make a special appointment I ad hoc for this purpose, and what wo wish to know is whether that would be larreeable to the colonies, and if so, if they would each of them nominate some lone as their representative upon the commission, that some one being either the Agent-General or any one else whom thy thought better to nominate for jthe purpose. ALIEN IMMIGRATION. One other question I have to mention, and only one — that is, I wish to di- rect your attention to certain legislation which is in process of consideration, or which has been passed by some of the colonics in regard to the immigration of aliens, and particularly of Asiatics.' I have seen these bills, and they differ in some respects from the other, but there is none of them, except, perhaps, the bill which comes to us from Natal, to which we can look with satisfaction. I wish to say that Her Majes- ty's Government thoroughly appreciates the object and the needs of the colon- ies in dealing with this matter. We quite sympathize with the determination of the white inhabitants of these colonies, which are in comparatively close proximity to millions and hundreds of millions of Asiatics, that there shall not be an influx of people alien in civilization, alien in religion, alien in customs, whose influx, moreover, would most seriously interfere with the legitimate rights of the existing labor population. An immigration of that kind must, I quite understand, in the interest of the colonies, be prevented at all hazards, and we shall not offer any opposition to the proposals intended with that ob- ject, but we ask you to bear in mind the traditions of the Empire, which makes no distinction in favor of or against race or color ; and to exclude, by reaiion of their color or by reason of their race, all Her Majesty's Indian subjects, or even all the Asiatics, would bo an act so offensive to those peoples tha* It would be most painful, I am quite certain to Her Majasty to have to sanction; it. Consider what has been brought to your notice during your visit to this coun- try. The United Kingdom owns as its brightest and greatest dependency th.xt enormous Empire of India, with 300,000,000 of subjects, who are as loyal to the Crown as you are yourselves, and among them there are hundreds and thous- ands of men who are every whit as civilized as we are ourselves, who are. If that is anything, better born, in the sense that they have older traditions and older families, who are men of wealth, men of cultivation, men of distinguished valor, men who have brought whole armies and placed them at the service of the Queen, and have In times of great difflcuity and trouble — such, for instance, as on the occasion of the Indliin mutiny— saved the Empire by their loyalty. I say you, who have seen all this, cannot be willing to put upon those men a •light which I think Is absolutely unnecessary for your purpose, and which Would be calculated to provoke ill-feeling, discontent, irritation, and would b* 878 PARUAMBNTARY GUIDF most unpalatablo to the feellnga not only of Her Majesty the Queen, but of all her people. What, I venture to think, you have to deal with Is the character of the im- migration. It is not because a man is of a different color from ourselves that he is necessarily an undesirable immigrant, but it is because he is dirty, or he is immoral, or he Is a pauper, or he has some other objection which can be de- fined in an Act of Parliament, and by which the exclusion can be managed with regard to all those whom you really desire to exclude. Well, gentlemen, this is a matter, I am sure, for friendly consultation between us. As I have said, the colony of Natal has arrived at an arrangement which is absolutely satisfactory to them, I believe ; and remember they have, if possible, an even greater Interest than you, because they are closer to the immigration which has already begun there on a very large scale, and they have adopted legislation which they believe will give them all that they want, and to which the objec- tion I have taken does not apply, which does not come in conflict with this sentiment which I am sure you share with us ; and I hope, therefore, that during your visit it may be possible for us to arrange a form of words which will M,vold hurting the feelings of any of Her Majesty's subjects, while at the same time It would amply protect the Australian colonies against any invasion of the class to whlcB they would Justly object. Now, gentlemen, I really owe I you a humble apology for having detained you so long, but I thought that it [ might be to your convenience that this recapitulation should be made of some things which might be treated in our discussions, and I have only now to thank | you very much for your kindness In listening to me so patiently, and to ex- press a hope that you will be good enough to give me generally and at this stage in our proceedings your ideas as to the course which we should take in regard to our future meotlngs. ^ Queen, but of all RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED iracter of the im- jrn ourselves that he Is dirty, or be which can be do- can be managed Well, gentlemen, in us.

(2) That, in the hope of improving the trade relations between the mother country and the colonies, the Premiers present undertake to confer with their colleagues with a view to se ::g whether such a result can bo properly secured by a preference ^iven by the colonies to the products of the United Kiagdom. Her Majesty's Government have already given effect to the first of these resolutions by formally notifying to the Governments concerned their wish to terminate the commercial treaties with Germany and Belgium, which alone of the existing commercial treaties of the United Kingdom are a bar to the estab- lishment of preferential tariff relations between the mother country and the colonies. From and after July 30, 1898, therefore, there will be nothing in any of Har Majesty's treaty obligations to preclude any action which any of the colonies may see fit to take in pursuance of the second resolution. It is, however, right to point out that if any colony were to go farther and to grant preferential terms to any foreign country, the provisions of the most favored nation clauses in many treaties between Her Majesty and other pow- ers, in which the colonies are included, would necessitate the concession of sim- ilar terms to those countries. On the question of the political relations between the mother country and the self-governirg colonies, the resolutions adopted were ad follows :— (1) That Prime Ministers here assembled are of opinion that the present political relations between the United Kingdom and the self-governing colonies are generally satisfactory under the existing condition of things. Mr. Seddon and Sir R. N. C. Braddon dissented. (2) They are also of opinion that it is desirable, whenever and wherever practicable, to group together under a federal union those colonies which are geographically united. Carried unanimously. (3) Meanwhile, the Premiers are of opinion that it would be desirable to hold periodical conferences of representatives of the colonies and Great Britain tor the discussion of matters of common interest. Carried unanimously. "Mr. Seddon and Sir B. N. C. Braddon dissented from the first resolution because they were of opinion that the time had already come when an effort should be made to render more formal the political ties between the United Kingdom and the colonies. The majority of the Premiers were not yet pre- pared to adopt this position, but there was a strong feeling amongst some of them that, with the rapid growth of population in the colonies, the present re- lations could not continue indefinitely, and that some means would have to be flevised for giving the colonies a voice In the control and direction of those questions of Imperial interest in which they are concerned equally with the mother country. It was recognized at the same time that such a share in the direction of Imperial policy would Involve a proportionate contribution In aid of Imperial expenditure, for which, at present at any rate, the colonies generally ar^ prepared. 38U PARUAM'tNTRY GUIDE THE DBi'fiNCR QUESTION. On the questloD of Imperial defence, the various points raised In the speech of the Secretary of State were fully discussed. On the most important of them— that of naval defence— some misapprehension had arlren as to the views of Her Majesty's Government in regard to the agreement with the Australasian colonies, and the First Lord of the Admiralty, accompanied by the Senior. Naval Lord, attended the conference on its fifth and last meeting and made the fol- lowing statement of the attitude of Her Majesty's Government :— I have been asked to make some statement with reference to the attitudo of the Admiralt'y as to colonial contributions towards naval defence, and in particular as to the agreement with the Australasian colonies. I may say generally that we are content to abide by the existing agreement. The declarations which have been made on one of the earlier days of the con- ference by some of the Colonial Premiers have convinced me us to the dlfB- cultlos which would beset other methods of colonial contribution, and so, I re- peat, we are content to abide by the existing agreement. We would be perfect- ly prepared to hear any argument against it, or for modifying It ; but as mat- ters now stand, and In view of what I have learnt of what has paased in thia Toom, we should certainly not propose to give notice for the termination of that agreement, and we should leave it as it is and administer it as It has been administered hitherto. The question may be looked at from three points of view—from the political point o^ view, from the straBetical point of view, and from the purely Admir- alty and naval point of view. From the Admiralty and naval point of view we can work the agreement, and we should wish to work it on the same lines as those on which wo work ft at present. From the political point of view, I can, of course, only speak as an individual member of the Government ; but, as First Lord of Admiralty and a rac~!;"r of the Government, I value the principle which is involved In the contrlbv Mon of the colonies to the navy, which was settled some years ago, and I think it would be a great pity and a retrograde step if such ties as have been es.abllshed were to be rut. Sir Gor- don Sprlgg has sent us a very graceful proposal from the Cape, which shows the development of that system. We should be very glad to open up negotia- tions with Canada, if not precisely on the same lln^^s, because Its situation is somewhat different, yet on other lines. I come back to the point that we value generally the contributions to the navy, not only for their amount, because I frankly admit that, with our present vast estimates, a contribution of £126,000 is not an Item to which we should attach, at the Admiralty, any great Importance. Of course, I cannot speak for the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Well, that being so, from the political point of view, I myself am in favor of the maintenance of the agreement, I have said that from the naval point of view, I am also In favor of the main- tenance of the agreement. Though I do not mean to say that It assists us to any great extent, it does produce between the Admiralty and the colonies cer- tain ties which we value and which I should be very sorry to do anything to loosen. IMPERIAL, CONTROL. From the strategical point of view we should be glad that the Admiralty should have a free hand. I was glad to see that It has been acknowledged by the Premiers that the operations of the Australian squadron in the Solomon Islands, and generally in the Pacific groups, have a distinct colonial as well as an Imperial Interest, and thai no complaint could be raised against the employ- ment of ships on the Australasian Station for purposes so distinctly colonial as BMPIRB BVKNTS 381 led in the Bpcoch OBt important of , as to the views the AuBtralaslau the Senior. Navul nd made the fol- t :— e to the attltudt! defence, and in listing agreement, days of the con- e UB to the dim- lon, and so, I re- would be perfect- g it ; but aB mat- las passed In this he termination of r it as It has been -from the political the purely Adrair- val point of view on the same lines 1 point of view, I Government ; but, nent, I value the lies to the navy, great pity and a be rut. Sir Oor- lape, which shows open up negotia- |se its situation is itributlons to the with our present [which we should I cannot speak from the political the agreement, kvor of the main- tt it assists us to the colonies cer- to do anything to lat the Admiralty ] acknowledged by in the Solomon hlonlal as well as ilnst the employ- linctly colonial as many of these purpoaea are, though auch employment might carry the ahlpB to a conalderable distance from the continent of Auatralia. Uut, apart from thla, the object for which we want a freo hand Is to be able to conduct the defence of Australia on the eame prlnclplea as those which we should follow In the de- fence of our English, Scotch and Irish porta— prlnclplea which exclude our un- dertaking to detoch ahlpa to particular ports. For Instance, we eould not under- Uke to poat one ship at Sydney, another at Adelaide, and another at Mel- bourne. We must rely upon the localities themBelvea for the defence of theae porta, while, on our part, we undertake that no organized expedition should be directed against any part of Australia. No organized expedition could bo sent either from Japan or the United Statea, or from Prance without the full knowledge of the Admiralty. That I aaaume. We are too ubiquitous for any such expedition to be secretly organized. If It were organized our whole strength would be directed to defeating such a movement. I see It has been suggested In a previous dlscuaslon that possibly we might, under stress, take away the ships which may bo on the Australian Station, and for which you 'have partly paid and on which you roly. In order to send them to some dis- tant quarter. But I cannot concieve any case, unless we lost actually our sea power, when we should think it our duty not to defend so valuable a portion of our Empire as Australia, New Zealand and Tasmania, for the safety of which we hold ourselves responsible in the same way as we hold ourselves re- sponsible for the safety of the Brftish Islands. I put this very strongly so that there may be no apprehension. In all our stragetlcal combinations we have never conceived the poealbility that we should expose auch possessions aa the Australian colonies. Let me say another word on the suggestion of which mention has been made that It was the desire of the Admiralty to have full control of the Aus- tralian squadron in time of war, even so far as to send the ships paid for by the Australian colonies thousands of miles away to attack the commerce of an enemy. This rumor has probably originated from our claiming freedom In the sense In which I have claimed it. CONCENTRATION OP VESSELS. If It has been salS that we want to have the full and free disposal of our ships, this certainly, as far as my own policy and that of the present board la concerned, does not mean that we claim to withdraw the ships built under our agreement with the Australian colonies and to send them to the Cape or to China, but that we desire freedom so to manage the ships as best to protect that zone and that sphere to which they belong, if we heard that an enemy were planning an expedition towards the coast of Australia. In such a case we might possibly gather the whole of our ships together and taking such other precautions as might be necessary, use them regardless — regardless is, perhaps, too strong a word, but use them as we should see best for the protection of the general interests of that part of the Queen's dominions. I know that an erroneous impression has existed that, not only in the col- onies, but at home, we should station ships to defend particular ports. Take Liverpool, for instance. We, the navy, are under no guarantee to defend Liverpool, The defences of Liverpool are in the hands of the army, who prac- tically managei the torpedoes and the mines ; the shore defences, in fact. It Is the army ashore which is responsible, with such co-operation as might ba necessary, if a comparatively large expedition were to threaten the place. This Is the freedom which we claim. The misunderstanding has arisen, I have been told, from the Interpreta- 882 PARUAMBNTARY OUIDB tlon of a apcech of the Duke of Devonshlru'i. I know that spoecb well. It did not for ono moment, to my mind, Justify the fear that we should, In breach of our agreomont with Australia, claim to withdraw the ships from thence which had been paid for by colonial contributions. The principal point In that speech was a protest against the Idea of whut I call hugging Hit* shore, against the Idea that protection by the navy superceded the necessity for j shoro defences. It laid down the principle that our policy must be aggreBHlvc, seeking out the enemy, a policy which, as regards Australia, might aim at at- tacking the posaesHions of other powers at war with us in tho Australian zono, or at scokinK out their Bhips within tho Auutralian Station wherever they might be. Ilonce our claim for freedom for the navy. Hence the duty of the colonics as well as the mother country to look ufler thoir shorn defences. I do not say j that wo should not prefer contributions without any tie whatever, but I do not make such a demand, and so far as the policy of the prosont Board of Admir- alty ia concerned, I am prepared to stand by the existing agreement. CAPE COLONY'S OFFER. After hearing Mr. Qoschen, the conference passed the following resolution : " That the statement of the First Lord of the Admiralty with reference to tho Australian squadron is most satisfactory, and the Premiers of Aust'-alasia favor tho continuance of the Australian squadron under the terms of the existing agreement. This resolution was supported by all the Australlastan Premiers, except Mr. Kingston, who declined to vote pending further consideration of a schcnu-, which he put before the conference, for the establishment of a branch of tho P.oyal Navy Reserve in Australia. The Prime Minister of the Cape also announced to the conference that, in pursuance of the resolution passed by the Legislature of that colony, in favor _ of a contribution towards the navy, he was prepared to offer on behalf of the colony an unconditional contribution of the cost of a first-class battleship. This spontaneous offer was received with grateful appreciation by Her Majes- ty's Government and the memberi" of the conference. In discussing the other questions of Imperial defence, the conference had the advantage of the presence of Captain Nathan, Secretary of the Colonial Defence Committee, who was able to furnish explanations to the members on various points, and to point out the steps, which in the opinion of the commit- tee, were most needed in each colony to complete its preparedness for any emergency. The Premiers all agreed to give the views expressed their careful consideration when, on their return to their respective colonies, they were In a position to consult their colleagues and parliaments. The suggestion made for an occasional Interchange of military units be- tween the mother country and the colonies was generally recognized as one likely to prove useful in increasing the efficiency of the colonial forces, and the Premiers of those colonies which possess permanent forces of a purely milltarj character, expressed their Intention of examining on their return what legisla- tive or other measures might be necessary in order to give effect to It as oppor- tunity offered. On behalf of the War Office the conference was Informed that, with a view of securing uniformity In the arms and ammunition used by the military forces throughout the Empire, the Secretary of State for War was prepared to make an offer for the exchange (or conversion) of the Martini-Henry rifles at present In use for rifles of the smaller calibre now exclusively adopted by the navy and army. , The question of the treaty with Japan was brought before the conference, BMPIRB KVRNTS 888 ■poech well.
