Toronto.

TORONTO. Ont. March 17.-oDonovan Rosssa

city to lecture In the Royal Opera House here on
the eighteenth instant. The Orange press at

them.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE treasury off,
cials in charge of the life saving service say
that there is no truth in the allegations pub
lishsd in several instances that the protests
which have been presented In the Senate from
all parts of the country against the proposed
transfer OF the service to the Navy Department
we're prepared here and sent out broadcast for
signatures. They also declare that there is no
truth in the statement that the remonstrances
are all alike and from the same sources, and
say that the falsity of the statement Is shown by
the following remark of Senator Conkling in
the Senate on the eleventh instant:
Having scrutinized the memorials on this
subject very carefully. have never known IN

They declare the fact to be that there is q COM

where its achievements are tborougly known,
against the transfer. and that this fact explains
whatever similarity there may be In the re-
