NOT IN FAVOR OF FEDERATION.
Lord Lansd0Wme Thinks Well Of
Cana<la'S Present Relations to the
Mother Country.

VICTORIA, B. C., october 13.-At a banquet
to the Marquis of Lansdowne, which occurred
last evening, the governor general delivered a
long address, one of the most noticeable features
of which was the reference to imperial fedora
ton. Great Britain's feelings towards her colo
mics had occupied three positions: First. of
grasping selfishness, which ended in the loss Of
was one OF Indifference, and the last is one of
strong desire for closer union-for federation.
As for federation, the governor general favored
a continuance Of the present relations rather
than federation. The general opinion is that
he simply voices the feelings OF the Canadian
people in this matter.

Major Lydecker's Report Of Operations
In October.
PROGRESS OF WORK ON THE DAM, TUNNEL,
AND RESERVOIR.

Major Lydecker in his report to the chief of
engineers of the operations during September
for increasing the water supply, states that the
contractors made good progress On the dam at
Great Falls, and have successfully accom-
plished all the critical part OF their work. The
gap in the Virginia channel, between Conn's
island and the portion of the dam completed
last year, was closed, and the masonry in the
body of the dam on that section was nearly
finished; at the same time the work of laying
the coping on the old dam across the MaryI land
channel was in progress throughout the month.
During October 1t Is probable that all the work
required by the contract will be about COM
pleted.
Operations on the tunnel were continued as
usual! except that the work of lining was limi-
ted to that deemed absolutely necessary for
safety. Work will be continued as usual
Work progressed on the new reservoir at all
points. The arch Of the east conduit has
