Since Canada and Australia are asking
from the imperial government a SUBSIDY OF
f15.OO0 for the proposed new steamer ser
vice between these countries, and also
a guaranteed per cent interest on third
of the cost Of a new submarine cable, the
opportunity has been seized by the impe-
ria, federation defense committee to sug-
gest to the government that these countries
Should in their turn take their share Of the
British naval expenditure. A memorial TO
the government has been drafted and is
being signed by members Of both houses of
parliament, setting forth that the royal
navy. while it is employed and relied upon
for the protection Of the whole empire, Is
provided and maintained entirely at the
cost of the people of the united kingdom.
1t is urged that at the forthcoming Ottawa
conference the representative of the united
kingdom should be Instructed to bring this
fact before the conference at Ottawa, and
to invite its members to declare the willing
ness of the countries they respectively rep
resent to take an equitable share with the
united kingdom in the cost of the mainte-
nance of the navy, provided that arrange
ments be made by which the various coun-
tries concerned can share in the admins
tration Of the funds 50 provided.

enlisted them. Encouraged by this. he re-
solved to attack the rebels at Chojo. He
marched toward that stronghold. but was

Just as the two forces were going to en-

More than 400 of them were killed and the
rest took to their heels. The Insurgents
then marched to Zenshu, which they can

the defeat reached Seoul the government
was bewildered, while the soldiers were
filled with fear. The chief government off,
Gals feared the arrival Of the rebels in the
capital, and preparations were made for
flight
At another time the government forces
were encamped at Reiko, while the rebels
took up their position in a mountain near
Chojo. The former. divided into two COM
panies, marched on the insurgent camp.

Der of soldiers to the scene. Their arrival
frightened the Chinese minister, who at
