special, Are Of Nature 60 Anvate 80
Attention of she UnIsed Staess-ssA.r.-
Strengthened -
New YORK. Nov. GA sun speSiAA,
from Montreal says:
The military preparations gong on
! here in Canada are of a character tos
nrove that England is not making
ready merely for the defense OF Cana
da against possible attack from the
aaets or armies of any other power, or
combination of powers. They are of
sueh nature that it is every day more
evident that England is creating In
Canada great place OF arms against
the American republic
So little attention Is given by the
American press to Canada and the i'm
wardness of the policy spursued by
the party that has been in power Tor
over 10 years that it may come as a.
surprise to them to learn that 1t Is Sc
riously believed here that not only can
Canada hold her own against the
United States with the help OF En-
Gland. but that it is only question of
time as to when q large part OF the
New England states and portion OF
the state of New York will be asking
for admission into the Canadian con-"
federation.
Reinforcements for the regiments In
garrison at Halifax and Bermuda are
on their way out from England, whlch
will raise them to their full war
strength. In connections with the
warlike preparations England is max
ing in Canada, it is noteworthy that
some of the papers that have been most
insulting in their language toward the
United States now deprecate the idea
being entertained that they can
possibly be directed against
them. They are only intended
for a possible war with Russia and.
France. What the preparations going
on for arming vessels on the upper
lakes has to do with Russia or France
requires an imperialist mind to dis
Germ.
According to a cablegram received
here the Pacific cable conference now
sitting in London viii no longer is
sue reports of its proceedings. The
reason given for this is the jealousy
which the movement excites in
other countries, notably, so says the
cabIegram, in France and the United
States. The Canadian commissioners
it seems, assured the conference that
the idea that has been entertained
that the new Canadian government
was lukewarm toward the scheme is
an entire mistake, that ON the con-
trary they have definite instructions
to cooperate in the heartiest manner,
because of the imperial ends to be-
served by the cable"

Return of DR.. Jordan from His TnvestIga-

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-Dr. d. S. Jor-
don, of the Leland Stanford university,
California, the civilian member of the
commission that has been engaged in
examining the condition of the fur seal
herd in Behring sea and adjacent wa
ters, is here to make his report to the
treasury and the state departments.
DR.. Jordan was closeted with Assistant
Secretary Hamlin Thursday evening
and yesterday morning, but, acting
upon the advice of the secretary, he
declined to talk on the subject until
he has submitted a preparatory report
to Secretary Olney.
It is understood that the report
bears out the contention of the United
States in the seal question. Last srm-
mer the British government sent
commission to investigate the subject
and this government then did likewise
If the two reports agree that the
present regulations are insufficient to
protect the seals it is not unlikely that
new regulations will be agreed upon
and possibly a revision made of tha
existing treaty between this govern,
ment and Great Britain,
