The correspondence between the i'm
perial federation committee and the
ministers of state which was published
to-day indicates that the colonies OF
Great Britain may be called upon to
contribute towards the cost OF main
tanning the imperial navy and In re-
turn be offered proportionate share
OF Its control. The utterances of the

pay his passage to England and to as
sist his comrade. who had been stricken

tute. They say that II ever they are
able to get back to America they will
enlighten their unhappy race there on
the subject Of African colonization
schemes. =
