MONTREAL, QUE, May 3O,-That there is
strong undercurrent feeling of jealousy
and animosity in the breasts of the Eng
lish Canadians here against their Ameri-
can cousins one who has lived here any
length of time can not fail to Discovers
The Canadian press may declare in the
most vehement manner that Canadians,
without exception, have naught but the
kindest feelings for their Yankee neigh
bors but this is not the fact There is a
deep-seated prejudice at present, and it is
rapidly growing against the United
States citizens and the exports of that
land. The Northwest of the Dominion
has held up its boundless acres
OF prairie land, crossed by the great
Canadian Pacific railroad. as the par
western States are decrled as being land
NJ only Tor the indian and cyclones to visit.
Ot course, this is all in the interest of inn
migration, and ii word whether true or
false, can be uttered which will tend to
Keep an immigrant with money on this
side OF line 10 it will surely be said. This
Keeling is more due to the knowledge that
OF the land OF Canada but very little is fit
for settlement or capable of successful cul-
Gvatlon, Tor the reason that while the
Dominion itself is larger than the whole
territory covered by the United
States, being SO far North, hardly
a greater number of acres can
be planted and crop grown on account Of
the severity and length of the winters here
the one State Of Texas The fishery cues
ton, now the subject Of dispute, has served
to bring this feeling to the surface, and it
Is wonderful how often the subject of war
being possible is discussed at the homes
and In the clubs of this and other cities Of
the Dominion. In the course of an inter-
view neld !, yesterday with prominent
way, is a strong Government supporter,
he said: ''There will be no
Element Of this question. We win
force it upon the States to declare whether
they Will keep their fishing vessels out of
our waters or whether we shall send them
10 the bottom" Being asked what course
wouia De followed by the Canadian cruis-
ers IL they met with armed resistance he
said THE Minister of Marine has declared
that canada will take consequences, and
In case OF resistance then the officers COM
mandlng the different cruisers have orders
to shoot such vessel out of the water.
