for few meetings in succession, and aB
many newspaper reports ridiculing all the
participants in the exercises TO the utmost,
the society has npY the pleasure and profit
of seeing the audiences SWelled to a hall full
at 25 cents admission for the men, aud 10
cents for the women.
A distinguished party consisting of the
President and Mrr. Giant, the members Of

The question of suhekiHg Canada tc
the United States, Is exciting a cousid-
erable degree d. interest, among the
people Of the New Dominion, and draw
inc, cut the opinions Of many Of our
people. Is.is generally conceded that
t6e British government would not op-
pose a movement to place Canada In
dependent in the mother country. This
fiut step taken. an independent govern
ment oFanusxatioa 70 the United States
await their action, but With the most Of
then, the 6rst IS considered ip connee-
tionswith the last, The people, always
descendant upon great protecting
power, and accustomed TO tread the
pats of political and commercial inter
sta marked out for them, are hardly
prepared to bs left to themselves, in the
mEhtainanee of q separate and inde-
pendant government. Yet, while the
leaders are ready to accept, at osee,
tbelissuerthe masses of the people are
inslinedsO shrink from any action up
on Il, As sHey regard it bold expert
ment, and fail to discern the advantage
which such relations would give them
over their present condition. The de-
sire for an alliance with the States,
has been infused into the minds of the
people of British Columbia, however
who realizing their isolated and help
less co1ditiob, as . colony, are making
earnest efforts, 70 secure che union. The
citizens of Victoria, have addressed
letter to President Grant setting forth
the imperative necessity for an alliance
with the United States, and praying for
annexation thereto. 1t was no doubt a
similar desire that prompted the people
of the Red River country, to pro-
test against being transferred to the
Dominion of Canada, without condition
and without being first consulted.
KnoRing that an alliance with Canada
can give them no Political protection or
relief, they prefer to remain an inde-
pendant British Colony, until they can
be annexed to the United States. Con
cerning the annexation Of Canada, the
people in the msrarime districts have
long desired greater freedom in our
mutual commercial relations. In view
Of this fact, Secretary Fish aud the
Cansdian government have prepared |
a IecepsOeity treaty which viii, in due
time be submitted to Congress. Should
such treaty be- established and its con
ditioBs be such as to render our com
mercial relations more satisfactory, the
claims Of commercial interests viii in
part be met, but the protection of our
and the benefits of political
alliance will still remain moving prin-
riple of action to them.

out Of any vessels in the ports Of the
United States to be used against that
State, and though these gunbOsts may
not for certainty be used directly a.
gaiust Peru, and may be intended to
operate against Cuba, they will never
theless release a similar number Of ves-
sells, in the Cuban waters, which would
be used against Peru, and which would
be virtually the same action, as if they
we're to sail directly from New York to
the coast or waters of Peru. Accord
ingly, instructions were prepared for
the United States Marshsl, at New York
to seize the gunbOats and hold them ,
which was done, on the 2Sd and they
are now in the custody Of the United
States. II is said that the Spanish
representative, when informed Of the
action ofouF government, asserted that
it would result in hostihties between
Spain and the United States. No at
tention, however, is paid to such an
assertion. There is authority for say
ing that our government is ready fol
any emergency that may arise from ita
action in the premises. The entire
cabinet is understood to endorse the
opinion Of the President and the action
Of the government in the seizure and
detention of the gunboats.
