Purpose OF Sir Charles Tupper's Return
Al OmcIaI Who FaNora Anne xntIon.

OTTAWA, juno 6.-The statement that Sir
Charles Upper is returning to Canada because
OF the Newfoundland dispute does not express
his real mission. Tho fact Is that last week
Sir John Macdonald cabled Sir Charles
that his presence at Ottawa was impera-
tive II negotiations in connection with
tho Atlantic Fisheries and BehrinE Soa 1ues-
tion were to be continued. Every effort on the
part OF young Tupper, Minister OF Marine and
Fisheries. to secure anything approaching a
settlement has failed, and he has informed Sir
John OF his inability to accomplish anything
at Washington. He was put forward by
his father. Sir Charles. to assist in the neCotia
tions at Washington. but Sir John now secs
the mistake he made In not IN the first instance
insisting that Sir Charles should take tho case
In hand.
Two moro cruisers have been ordered to the
Atlantic fishing grounds. and it is learned at
the Marine and Fishery Department that more
will follow.
A high official OF the Marine and Fisheries
Department said to your CORRESPONDENT. In
discussing tie fishery problem. that 1t was alb
surd for the Canadian Government to attempt
to patch ur the dispute with the United
States in regard to the Atlantic fisheries and
Behring Sea questions.
Annexation with the United States is the
inevitable destiny of Canada" he added. Tho
ultra loyal Canadians may prate about their
loyalty. which is in fact only a sentiment. but
the man who Is first loyal to himself is the
one who will have two silver dollars
to Jingle together when the sentimentalst is
starving. If the general public of Canada only
knew one.half OF what know of tho snubs
and reproofs the Canadian Government re-
ceive from the British authorities there
would be less Of this sentimental loyalty
floating in the air. am fully convinced that
Sir Charles Tuppers visit to Ottawa and
Washington in connection with the fishery
and BehrlnE Sea dispute will be productive Of
no good results. and the Government know 1t,
although they must appear to be doing some-
thing"
