I would be- different. We need the ser,
vices Of every good man who come,
here. They must be encouraged to take
an interest in the Government. Tn,
bulk Of future immigration will be-
from the United States; hence we are
perfectly safe. This is a principle We
have followed for several years-why
should we make such radical de.
parture now.
Minister Smith thought the matter
placed in the hands of the executive
with the consent of the Senate made it
perfectly safe.
Mr.. Brown withdrew his motion in
favor of Mr.. DJle's amendment

Mr.. Damon called attention to the

President be one of the majority in the

This was unfair to the Ministers, reduce

RUMORs OF THE ROYAL CLAIMANT
Reported visit of Minister Willis to the
Ex-Oueen.
Since yesterday afternoon rumors
have been afloat in the city to the effect
that United States Minister Willis visit
ed Mrs. John o. Dominis during the day
and officially made known the nature Of
the kilograms received from Secretary
of State w. Q. Gresham by the Aus
tralia and published in Saturdays STAR.
The significance of such an interview
would be that Mrs. Dominis had been
given official notice to vacate her claim
to restoration. The rnmor was general,
and originating with reliable authority
it was credited by every one.
On the strength of this a STAR repre-
sentative approached Minister Willis
with direct questions upon the point.
That gentleman replied that he knew
nothing of such an interview. That
is all.
The second rumor is that Mrs. Domi-
mis- will surrender her claim to whatso-
ever she may now claim, Wednesday,
and will apply to the Provisional Gov
eminent for pension in the shape Of
an annuity. This, while likely spring
ing from the former story, has the es-
sence of probability in it; it would be
about the only crumb of comfort the
ex-Queen would possibly be able to save
out of the political wreck she has left
behind her during the past year or
more.
