THE INTERNATIONAL YACHT RACE.
Great interest is taken here in the race which is to-
come off tomorrow between the American yacht
Sappho and the English yachts The event is con
sidered almost equal in Importance to the famous
international regatta of lSj -Four Of the best and
fastest yachts in the English squadron have been
selected to compete with the Sappho. The Telegraph
this morning, commenting on the conditions Of Tie
trial, regrets the restrictions which have been I'M
posed in regard to sails, &C., and thinks that in an
international match of this character both sides
should be left entirely free to sail their boats IN their
own way, SO that the respective methods OF the
British and American yachtsmen may be Thoroughly
tested.

GATES REPORT.


HALIFAX, Aug. 24-Parlamentary papers
have been brought before the House. which embrace
brief reports OF the delegates all the papers prepared in
England and the legal opinions Of Sir Rounded Palmer
and Vernon HarcOurt The latter differs widely from Nr
WIlkinss constitutional arguments The delegates sub
mitted six questions. The are, In substance, as
follows There is no limit 10 the powers Of Imperial
legislation over a colony like NoyascOtia q The
authority Of the Inpeiat Legislature being absolute, can,
not ia am lgaJ sense be depsEdet ne consent Of me
eoloag g. The preamble OF the Union Act Is important
as evidence that the Imperial Legislature did not intend
10 exercise extreme powers but acted on the supposed
consent OF the colony the fact Of such consent be dis
proved, that may afford valid argument for repeal and
cannot affect the legal validity Of tho statute The fourth
question embraced in the fth and the same answer
applies. The fifth resolution of the NOyaScota Legisla
tue in 1906 authorized the delegates 70 negotiate the
Of all the Provinces but right 10 arrange
scheme leaving out New wfomdland and Prince Edwards
Island This defect would be cured by the subsequent
ratification Of the delegates acts by the Legislature
g. The Imperial acts by the Legislature did not assume to
extinguish the Constitution OF NOya-Scota. or impose
new form OF government without consent. TO do so
would be an extreme exercise Of power
