WAR MAP OF CANADA.
Prepared Years Ago Under General
HancOck's Supervision.

SleNtldltQ l<tdQer.
That the United States is not blind to
the military condition of the Dominion of
Canada was indicated in an interview with
Maj. Samuel Barker, of this city, who
was an artillery officer during the civil
war; and was made brevet major for meri-
torius conduct. Maj Barker not long ago
took an important part In the preparation
OF war map Of Canada, and when asked
about the matter yeS.erdy, he said:
The studies and investignr lions that are
always In progress by the members or our
regular army are not generally of pub
lie character, and but rarely command pub
lie attention. 1t is nevertheless fact that
such study is a part of the system, and 1t
Is through that system Kept at all times
possessed with every important knowledge
necessary TO enable ii to render the most
effective and prompt action In meeting any
condition which might confront it,.

entanglements, but a part OF its general

DIVIDED CANADIANS.
Only the Province of Ontario Cordial
ly Supports England.

Hartford Courant-
We find this paragraph in Boston news
paper:
IF anybody thinks the Canadians them
selves would shed ounce OF blood 10
keep themselves under British domination
ne knows little OF the real sentiments OF our
northern neighbors. They would say. with
entire justice, that the war was England's
and not Canada's, that IL her gracious
Majesty the Queen insisted on holding fast
her dominion she must do the fighting and
pay the bills"
Evidently the Canadians of the Boston
newspaper are evolved from its internal
consciousness. The real Canadans-we are
speaking now OF Ontario and the maritime
provinces especially. but the same thing is
true OF the Englih-Canadians and Scotch
Canadians generally-are as unlike these
imaginary Canadians as the real Yankee is
unlike the Yankee OF Punch. They are
sentimentally and effusively loyal, resem-
bling in that respect all other colonial Brit
ons the world over. This is as true, as q
rule, OF the "native-born'' celebrated by
their parents. The British crown is re-
splendent In their eyes. They swell with
the sense OF part ownership in the empire

Macdonald, land a British subject ] will

course they would get tho worst OF IL very
quickly, IL 1t ever came TO blows; mere
pluck hasn't much show when pitted
against equal pluck and overwhelmingly
greater numbers. But at the first start-on
We should expect things TO be quite lively
along a portion OF our northern frontier.
The French-Canadiaps are a different folk
altogether. They are the descendants OK
men who fought the English. and whom the
English overpowered and conquered Their
loyalty to the crown is of the passive rather
than the ELUSIVE kind. OF late they have
been becoming more and more uneasy about
their future in an increasingly English and
Protestant dominion-not without cause.
Probably IL they could be assured as to
certain matters relating TO their language,
their church and their schools the French
Roman Catholics would be quite willing
to see their Province of Quebec become .
State of the Union. Probably they would
be- still better pleased to have IL all TO
themselves as an independent little COM
monwealth-the New France OF Paul
Bourgeois dreams. In any case we should
not expect-Qn the deplorable event OF war;
to see our troops stubbornly opposed in the
field or bushwhacked between times by the
peace-loving habitants of the French prov
ince.

lads are born with the love of England in

A courier had arrived, bringing the in
telligence that Troop B was surrounded
by hostiles, and was standing them off
with the greatest difficulty; that, unless
aid reached them very shortly, Troop B
was doomed to massacre.
The quiet post sprang to arms. Troop
ers and officers hurried hither and
thither. Noise and confusion, tempered
by discipline, reigned. In an incredibly
short time the bugles sounded boots and
saddles and the battalion filed out.
There was no song, no jesting or laugh
ter to tighten the march in all that col
umn. The peril of their comrades
weighed upon each heart; the stern de-
termination to save or terribly avenge
was stamped upon each face.
Suddenly there was sharp exclama-
tion, and one of the troopers, with pale,
set face, turned his horse from the col
umn and trotted back toward the post
In another moment an officer swiftly
gained his side, and, with a wrench that
nearly jerked him from his saddle, stop
ped him.
