DON'T WANT ANNEXATION.

SHERBROOK, Quebec, Nov. AT ban
quet given to Hon. John Henry Pope last
night, Sir John Macdonald, in the course
of his speech, said: 1T seems to be the i'm
preston that l will make an important
announcement on one of the great issues
of the day. l wish to speak on
this matter with no uncertain
sound. We are British subjects
and we know the advantages we possess ia
being connected with that great empire.
AS we were born British subjects we ex-
pect to die British subjects. What should
we gain by change? If there is a coun-
try on the face of the earth that is happy
and prosperous it is the Dominion of Can
ada. We have a splendid climate,
a rich soil and an energetic peo
pie. We have good laws wisely
administered. In every branch of industry
our country is prosperous. We have no
reason to envy any other country. and as a
mere matter of self interest it would not
only be pre- judicial, but ruinous for us to
sever our connection with Great Britain
and unite ourselves with the country
south of US, great as it may be"
Sir John went on to say that the Canadian
constitution was much superior in many
ways to the American constitution.
"What shonld we gain by changer" he
asked again. eve might get little more

On.the other hand, we should be taxed

EXTRALITE.
Discovery of New Explosive More Power
fall than Dynamite.

NEW BRITAIN Conn.,, Nov Rudolph
Ericsson, a young Swede, is employed in a
drug store in this city. Before he came to
America he worked with his uncle in a
gun powder factory in the old country,
and together they experimental to find a
new explosive that would be as pow
erful as dynamite but less danger
Gus to handle. A few months ago
young Ericsson received letter
from his uncle, in which the latter stated
that his experiments had at last been sue
cessful. He inclosed the formula of the
ed under the name OF ''Extralite. The
new explosive looks like moist corn meal.
1t can -be made as easily as corn meal can
be cooked, and in much the same way
Last week Mr. Ericsson made guam
t1ty of 1t in stove in Curran's drug
store, and then experimental with it
before some persons whom he is
trying to interest in its manufac-
ture. A mass of rock at Shuttle Meadow
mountain was selected as the scene of the
experiments. The first trials were to
prove that the mixture could not be ex-
ploded in the open air. A small fire was
started and two pounds of exrralite were
put in it. The stuff would neither explode
nor burn. 1t was thoroughly mixed with
kerosene oil, when about half of it burned,
but did not explode. A small dynamite
cartridge was inserted in roll of,the stuff.
The cartridge exploded with a fuse, but
the extralite did not explode. When some
of the substance was placed on fiat stone
and struck with hammer the only result
was to reduce it to a finer power.
a hole two feet deep was drilled in the
hardest rock to be found in neighboring
quarry Three rolls of the explosive, each
containing three ounces, were tamped
down in hole and connected with a fuse
The explosion shook the ground, and the
air was filled with flying powders The
result achieved would haye required two
pounds of gun powder or one pound of
dynamite, while only nine ounces of extra
lite were used.
The manufacture of the explosive will
be commenced in New Britain at once
The street commissioner of Hartford have
decided to use it in the city's quarries.

lNGERSOIC SPEAKS.

BROOKLYN, n. Y, Nov. Colonel Rob

at the Academy of Music tonight in sup

that but for the Republican party this re-

wanted to protect this labor.
The colonel said he favored unrestricted
immigration. There are but 10000, 900
people here. We could support ten times
that number in the Mississippi valley

BRITISH PARLIAMENT.

LONDON, Nov. 1.-As the time for the
reassembling of parliament approaches it
becomes more and more apparent that the
Conservatives are = resolved to keep
Irish matters out Of the bounds OF
discussion as much as possible dur
ing the session, and devote them
selves to such legislation for England
and Scotland as will tend to strengthen
the party The loss of several seats within
last year has frightened some of the more
timid of the Tories into the belief that the
hand writing is upon the wall, and even
the stoutest hearted ones see the necessity
of prompt and vigorous measures to pro-
long the party's life. AS a means
the Conservative party, by its
action in Ireland, had averted
disaster to the country in the shape of
wholesale murder. arson, etc, the Parnelt
commission was thought to be a godsend,
but the rulings of that body OF the ad-
mission of certain line of testimony and
the growing weakness of the Times
against the Parnellites have destroyed
their reliance upon that method of making
party capital and set the governments adj
herents to casting about in new fields.
On the other hand. the Nationalist ap-
pear to gain confidence daily, and make no
concealment of their determination to
force an Irish measure of some kind upon
the house in order to precipitate debate.
1t is claimed by many of the leaders, and
no doubt believed by all, that every Irish
speech in Parliament is warth two on the
stump, and for this reason debate is what
is most wished for The Liber
ais appear. to be perfectly
willing to acquiesce in the Nationalist
program, but stand ready to point out to
their more impetuous colleagues the dan
ger of obstructive statistics at this time.
If the government brings in English
remedial legislation the measure, or meas
ures ought, they believe, to receive the
support of the Irish party as a means of
spiking the enemy's guns.

HENDERSON IN VIRGINIA.

| HARRISBURG, Nov. Ia large Republi-
cansmass meeting was held here today, at
| which Hon. John 3. Henderson, of Mis-
souri,, was the principal speaker. His
speech was filed with statistics in refer
ence to the country's growth, and tariff
| figures. 1t was moderate, polished ut
| terance, calculated to convince voters,
| rather than to excite their feelings.
Mr.. Henderson began by abiding
to the fact That he was born iii Virginia
and said that it gave him great pleasure
to speak to the people Of his native state.
After few preliminary remarks he took
up the tariff question and dealt with 1t at
length He explained the governments
methods of raising money by taxes tor che
national expenses, and stated that II con-
gress should remove all tariff and excise
duties and substitute direct taxes Virgin
las share would be between SlO,000,O0O
and S11, 100000. With the present tariff
and excise duties Virginia paid directly
only about s3O00,0O0, chiefly on tobacco.
What Virginia's proportion of the tariff
duty was depended upon what amount OF
imported articles her people used. Mr..
Henderson quoted from various data TO
show that Washington, Madison, Jeffer-
son. Monroe and jackson all favored
the imposition of tariff for the protection
of American industries. He then gave
statistics showing that at one time Vlr-
ginia had double the population of New
York, or Pennsylvania or Massachusetts,
that New York far surpassed Virginia
in population, in agricultural products
and in the employment Of labor
This led up to the statement that Vir-
GINA was capable of producing ten times
her present agricultural products and that
her capacities for cheap manufactures
were not exceeded by any state in the I'M
fr Ill md pnfr lr.,I
products only waiting proper DEVELOPMENT
and only under the benefits of protective
tariff could this be accomplished, and Nir-
ginia's industries flourish as they ought.

copies of it are not correct, and that the
