ceivel less attention than it deserved, in the

inc the action which it seems destined TO dis
Charge in the structure OF the British Em-
pire.
It should not be forgotten that whilst in

Question to deal with, whilst as regards inn

products she supp lies only 20,89l dolls. worth

Should the Canadians see their way to do
SO, they might increase their arrangements

AN ARMOURED TRAIN.
DAILY Telegraph, 2lst May.)

Why armoured trains have not been in
Guided in our scheme IF national defence
especially in a country possessing so many
good railways as England-is a question
which the military authorities ought long ago
to have been called on to answer. There are
miles of coast lines where armoured trains
could be run TO in the briefes5 space of time.
Properly constructed and equipped with guns
and men, they should be able to play Y most
important part in the protection of our
shores.
1t is, no doubt, rather to reafirm these
facts than to demonstrate anything new,
that the Volunteers have taken up the task
of showing the War Office what can be done
on the south coast with an armoured train.
In the present instance the credit of showing
the way belongs to the LIST Sussex Artillery
Volunteers, and more particularly to their
commanding officer Colonel c.. G. BoxalD
and their honorary colonel (Sir Julian
Goldsmid). On Saturday a party of gentle
, 1894-06-30

men left London for Brighton by special train
to witness a series of experiments intended
to demonstrate the efficiency of an improved
type of armoured train, which had been built
with the generous assistance of the officials
of the London, Brighton, and south Coast
Railway. After luncheon at the corps head
cutters in Brighton the visitors proc seled by
rail t. Newhaven. where to tn. east Of tho
harbour, the armoured train STOOD waiting.
1t was found to consist Of two bullet-prOof
passenger coaches with protective steel
plates on the roof, behind which inf ntry
could lie and fire at an enemy. The chief
feature, however, was the ironolal cIrr1Age
or battery on wheels, within which was
mounte an ordinary 4O-pounder breechload-
ing Armstrong gun. Among those present,
and who watched with interest the subsequent
dozen Of rounds fred, were the MARQUIS of
~Abergavenny, K g., General Prince Hugo of
Schoenburg- Waldenburg (who comman ed
the German batteries which the French
arm )ureI train attacked). Sir Evelyn Wood,
V. g., observation-disclosures Keith Fraser, Sir
Francis Grenfell, Lord VIM. Seymour, Lord
elOpgh. Maior-General Lloyd, R.. A, Lord
Chtrles Beresford, Earl Russell, Vlscoun

Il Y. Sir Julian Goldsmid, II. P, Sir II.
Fletcher, MP, Mr.. G.. Loder, MP, Sir
G urteney Boyle, Sir Philip Rose, Colonels
Hubs N Simpson, Bird, Routledge, and Cap
tain Vane Stow. The wagon upon which the
gun rested was not unlike an ordinary rail
way truck, except that it was constructed
throughout Of steel Orders and beams instead
of wool. Upon this an enclosing breastwork
of bullet-proof steel plates rested on a turnta-
bic which occ lpied the whole length of the
wag)l. Ga receiving the word of command
the gun detachment, by means of handspikes,
wheeled the turntable structure till the 40
FOUNDER pointed Stewards. and at right angles
to the line of railway. As a means of secur-
ing stability for the gun platform a ptir of
sliding steel Orders were run out from I'M
derneAth the body of the truck, and from the
ends Of these screw s~pindles were let down
until the fattened ends rested firmly upon the
permanent way. In addition thereto. at
either end Of the truck was a pair Of links.
which could be let down and made TO grip
the rails. So far as could be seen during the
firing of the gun, none of these contrivancrs
were actually necessary, for there was little
or no movement of the platform when tho
gun was discharged.

The Canadian Government is everywhere
seeking fresh outlets for the products of the
Dominion, aud evidently is earnest in af-
fording equivalent terms to those portions of
the British dominions which show any dis
position to reciprocate the overtures now
making. This feeling should certainly tend
to closer and more intimate relations between
the West Indies and the Dominion.
Whatspart Canada may play in the future
federation of our Empire has yet to be seen,
but that situatet as it is midway between
the East and the West, it will certainly take
a large and active part there cannot be any
doubt. Its immense sea border of pretty
nearly 5000 miles on the Pacific coast line,
and it's unlimited command Ola coal supply,
would seem to point to it us a dominant fac
tor in Il future maritime ascendancy in that
ocean, and in a command Of the ocean high
way to Australia and the far East. These
conditions and her command of a land frontier
towards the United States of 5000 or 1000
miles all :.point to the Dominion at some
future period as exercising an important
influence in solving the question of the ulti-
mate asceldanoy of the Anglo-Saxon races i'll
the world.
