CORNWALL, CANADA, March 2. u
At public demonstration and dinner to
the members of Government last night, speech
es were made by Gait, Rowland, Nc Donald
and Carter Nc Donald asserted that the con-
federation of the Provinces was now certain
to take place in a few weeks. Referring to the
militia he said Canada had now 1000 well
drilled officers to lead them.
NJ Mr. Gait referring to the recent Reciprocity
negotiations, denied the charge of making the
legislation of Canada subordinate to the Unit
cd States, and clamedathat the liberal terms
offered the Americans had created public sen
timent among them favcring the renewal Of
the Reciprocity Treaty. He said that since
that the Treaty had not been renewed, we
must now cultivate colnmeTpair relations with
the lower Provinces, with South America and
Europe, and Jegslate to attract capital, and
