AFRAID OF UNCLE SAM.
WHAT ENGLAND PROPOSES TO DO
TO STRENGTHEN CANADA.

She May Send o Fleet of Gunboats to the
Lakes II the United States Abrogates
the Naval Agreement-Frightened al
the Annexation Sentiment.
OTTAWA, Oct 1S-Following close upon
the announcement that the United States
Government intended to abrogate the agree
ment entered into with Great Britain in
1877 and place feet of gunboats on the
Great Lakes, comes the report to-day that
at the request of the British Government
Lord Stanley has demanded an immediate
report upon the defenses of the Dominion.
The request of Lord Salisbury was CON-
municated through Lord Stanley and
Premier Abbott last week, and the Minister
of Militia promised to have the report ready
to be forwarded to the British Government
to-day. For several years past the British
Government has been hammering at Sir
John Macdonald to strengthen the defenses
of Canada, that in the event Of trouble the
Dominion might not be solely dependent
upon Great Britain for protection. This re-
quest has not been carried out to the salts
faction of the British Government. 1t is
stated on the highest authority that the
officer commanding the Dominion forces,
General Herbert, was sent out to Canada to
investigate the actual state of affairs, which
his predecessors appear to have sorely
neglected.
That the relations existing between Gen
eral Herbert and the Minister of Militia,
Sir Adolph Caron, are somewhat strained
as a result, is an open secret. There ap-
pears to be little doubt that it is the inten-
tion of the British Government to send
several regiments to Canada shortly. This
has been in contemplation for some time.
Again, the Notifications at Halifax, still
under the control of the imperial authori-
ties, are being strengthened to make that
naval station impregnable. The same policy
is to be carried out in British Columbia
Speaking on the question of defenses to-
day, prominent official of the Government
said that the moment the United States
Government abrogated the agreement of
1917, which restricted the naval forces of
both Canada and the United States on the
Great Lakes to four vessels each, Great
Britain will run up feet of her iron clads
to keep them company.
1t has been suggested that England has
become alarmed at the strong annexation
movement which appears to have seized her
subjects in Canada, and is going to take pre-
cautionary measures, if necessary at the
point of the bayonet, to prevent its further
development.

When a Foreman Is Reduced TO tbs Ranks
His Men Quit Work.
CHICAGO, Oct. 1S-One hundred and
twenty men, employed on the Electricity
building at the Worlds Fair grounds, quit
work yesterday because their foreman, VIM.
Irving, had been given the alternative to
accept a subordinate position at 40 cents
an hour or quit. He has been great favor
lite with the men, and when one of the en-
pIoyers last week discharged 80 men with
out consulting him, on the ground that they
were ''too old, he protested. Yesterday
he received notice that he would be super
seded by another man, and might retain a
subordinate position.
The men assert he was reduced because he
strictly enforced all of the State laws re-
garding the wages and hours of labor. He
was the only foreman at the grounds, it is
said, who insisted upon the weekly payday.
