by the Associated Press.]-The past
week has been the hottest experienced
in England in several years. This
fact has made members OF parliament
particularly glad that propagation
enables them to leave for the contin-
ent. American tourists continue to
flock TO London in large numbers
homeward bound. These constitute al
most the whole transient population
of the city at the present. The hotels
are more nearly employed than they
have been at any period for the year.
The highland lodges. however, are at
TIE heightA OF their popularity. The
prince OF Wales is expected at Old
M2,ch lodge a The end of the month,
wHtre he viii be the guest of the
DUE and Duchess of Fife, the latter
histoldest daughter. Before his depart
Ure the prince will lay the foundation
stone Of new March lodge.
Great Britain on Trial.
Correspondence between the imperial
federation committee and the minis
tiers of state. which was published to-
day. indicates that the colonies of Great
Britain may be called upon to con-
tribute toward the cost of maintaining
ne imparia! navy and in return be Of
Trred propOrtionate share in its con
troh The imperial federation COM
mittee urges that this arrangement
woulG tighten the burden of the Brit
fish -aEpayer and at the same time adj
vance the cause Of imperial unity. The
Utterances of colonial statesmen, in
cnding Sir Jutes Vogel, formerly
prime minister of New Zealand, are
cited 10 show that they support the
mon ment. The Marquis of Salisbury,
pointed out TO the members of the
com1hittee that there are fatal risks
attending a dividend of control of
Assral affairs. but the Duke of Devon

John Chamberlain. secretary of state |
Tor the colonies, all promised that the |
proposal should have their careful /
attention.
< In this connection the Globe this |
ksning, in the course of a long article |
SYx3-s that the British empire may truly |
be said to be on its trial. The anomaly
of the present condition has forced the |
question whether the result is satisfac- |
tory and whether it can go on much !
longer without a radical change. None !
of our colonies, the Globe says, can |
regard themselves safe from hostile !
attacks. In the case of war between !
England and America Canada might !
be expected to be invaded and self |
protection Of any of the colonies !
against any enc of the great powers is |
so nlanifestly out Of the question that !
the colonies would be thrown back |
upon the imperial navy. Colonial gov |
ernments, the Globe adds, do not hest !
1ake even now to claim the services of !
tho queens ships whenever they are

doubt as to the obligations OF the |
colonial taxpayers.
