OPPOSING CANADIAN FREEDOM

TORONTO, Jan. 2.-In a long article on the
formation OF the Montreal Political Economy Club.
which is regarded a step toward the advocacy Of
Canadian Independence The Glote (AntAdminstration
says:
We object 70 the proceedings Of those who. seeking
annexation, disguise their object under pretence OF
seeking independence only. What we principally COM
plain Of the Montreal organization Is that annexation
proc yies kept Odt OF sight The reason for this Is
that tue apostles OF annexation know that there Is
nothing which they would advocate in our present
political condition which would not be extremely dls
tasteful 10, practically, the whole OF the people. They
are aware that Canadians Will not willingly advance
one inch on a road that leads TO Washington. IL IL no
evasion the ucsOn TO declare that independence II
gained now must necessarily end In annexation. We
put squarely before those who honestly
hnk that the time is ripe FOR a movement toward
iDdependence: Can to be British without be-
coming Americanl Is there hope that the American
Nation will respect rights when we stand 5OOOOOO

ACTION EXPECTED ON THE NAVAL BILL
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNEl
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-Representatye Bount, OF
Georgia, who during the illness of Mr.. Atkins is
acting Chairman of the House Appropriations Com
mittee, says that the work of the committee has
been advancing even during the recess and that all
things considered, the business of Congress, III so
far as it can be seen from his point of view, is III
much more advanced stage than il has been at
corresponding date during any previous session
within number of years. Only six OF the hlteen
members of the committee, namely. Messrs At
kins, Blount Cobb, McMahon, Munroe and Haw-
lev are in the city, but each of them, excepting Mr.
Atkins has been engaged in examining the details
of some one or two of the remaining appropriation
bills and getting information bearing upon them
so that the work of the full committee maybe
much more easily and speedily performed when; 1t
meets again. Mr.. Blount could not speak definitely
with regard to the probable time when any of the
remaining bills would be presented to the House.
nor excepting the Naval Appropriation BILL with
regard to the amounts they would probably cover.
the work of examination having chiefly been had ID
regard TO details rather han aggregates.
Referring to the Naval 1ppropr alton bill, he said
that Secretary Thompsou las seemed to adjust him
self to the economical spirit OF the times, and has
limited his expenditures to the sum appropriated by
Congress HIS estimates for the next fiscal year had
also been made only few thousands III excess OF
the apprOpI atoms for the current year. and there
fore he (Mr. Blount would not be surprised II the
Secretary of the Navy got all nearly all, he asked
for. "lhere is no reason that can see, continued
Mr.. Blount, why, if the comm ~xSAs5SxaSx<A
it may not act upon the Naval bill and feDort ~
the House within three days from Its sreassemollng"
In reference to the general work of Congress Mr..
Blount said that as the majorities in both honses
are now of the political party, none OF the par
tisan dead-locks between the two houses which
have served so to lengthen previous sessions can

AUGUSTA, Me-. Jan. 2.-Solon Chase, the leader of
the Greenback party in this State. was called upon
this evening by representative of the Associated

Oucsuon-Mr Chase, II has been reported that you do

anytning that is wrong; and II any wrong has been
roinmtted-and | don't say there has been-theD, OF

Mr. Chase seemed to put great emphasis OH the
idea that the people must not forget that they owe
allegiance to the regularly constituted authorities.
His position on these matters is regarded of
considerable importance. as he is an knowledged
leader IN the Grcenhack party IL is reported that
he will remain here till after the organization and
do his best to bring the Greenback men into line.

General Brady has no right TO think that ask MIN

the increase, to grant it," . 90
This gentleman recalled the deficiency of Si0OO 600
for the Railway Service of last year, and said that
the Department had deliberately laid out its work
so as to create a deficiency, and then had SAID 10
Congress-: Give us this mOGey or we Will stop the
whole Railway Service" Congress-" he added,
twas of course compelled TO submit and granted the
money. Now we have the same thing repeated. MI.
Brady plans to spend his whole years appropriations
in six months and then tells Congressman that IL
they don't grant two millions more he will stop the
Star Service in their districts, thing which would
be disastrous to any Congressman who should be
instrumental TO it in any degree
Ii is understood that the Post Office Department
is preparing letter upon the subject, reply to in
quiries from the House Committee on Appropriations
and it is probable that thorough investigation
