MONTREAL, Oct. 2S.-The Yantic Is expected
to roach here to morrow. and on her arrival in
this port tho formal transfer of the vessel from
the United States to the State of Michigan will
take p ace, Commodore Moore, who Is in charge
at present, will hand the vessel over to Comnio-
dorc Wilks of tho Michigan Naval Reserve and
Pilot Wheeler, who will take her through tho
canals.
The passage through tho canals. 1t is feared.
will prove n difficult matter. At one point in
the Cornwall Canal she is longer than the lock
and at other places she draws. lightcned as she
is to tho full limit, n foot or more water than
the depth OF the canal. This is expected to DO
overcome by special means of flooding the locks
and also by forthcoming hor aft those places.
A special pontoon and arrangements TO carry
this out have been devised and constructed by
Pilot Wheeler. Tho pontoon cradle is ut the re-
CURED spot, waiting for the vessels arrival.
There are many. however. who doubt II the YES
sci can ever he got through tho locks, notably
Naval Constructor Joseph Feastrr, who fears
that the strain she will undergo will ruin her.
The passage of the Yantic through Canadian
waters is not viewed at all fnvornbly by local
HllIlluTy lhcH. u Nhihhiuh "''''' ''-''''
OF this city records the general feeling in mill
tary circles when it says:
1T Is possible that the Canadian Government
may take the United Statcs's statement of her
future use at Detroit and allow her to pass
through the canals. But II so, and she is sub
scquently armed with u battery of quick.tlring
guns, which it is proposed to arm her with,
It would make her n possible danger
along an inland lake frontier. which is.
and must OF necessity remain, dcfencelcss
from a military point OF view, and MichiGan's
naval militia must DO included in tho category
OF United States forces. In this event tho
Yantic will be u standing menace to this coun-
try, and contrary to the spirit Of the treaty.
Tho British Government may ask the United
States Government for an explanation of tho
violation OF tho treaty.
ut is not easy to SEQ how the Yantic can
be used as a training ship with no guns
mounted on her. She is a wooden ship of 900
tons burden. is $50 feet 8 inches long. 20 fcot 6
| inches beam and her maximum draught is L. feet
9 inches. She can attain n speed OF eight knots.
Six sailors OF the United States Navy arc to be
| retained on the ship. If the iantic Is allowed
to pass through our canals and used as an
alleged training ship in the way desired, other
United States ships will follow in rapid success
sion for other points. so that n formidable
United States navy will be much in evidence on
the great lakes"
