The Canadian Minister of Militia VIII
Send the Royal Scots.

Mr.. Heating, THE British vice consul
at this port Yesterday received a letter
from Hon. E. W. Borden, the Canadian
minister of militia, in reference to send
ing a body of Canadian troops to this city
on the occasion of the celebration of July
A, which is also the semi of the
beginning of the construction Of the
Atlantic and ST. Lawrence railroad, now
a part of the Grand Trunk system. Mr..
Borden says that the men will. be sent
if the plans of the Portland committee
are carried out. Mr.. Borden suggests
the Fifth Royal Scots of Nor real as de-
sirable company to forms.a part of the
demonstration. He further suggests send
ing battery of artillery that both
branches of the service may be represent
ed. The Fifth Royal Scots have a very
good band and as they wear the kilt
their appearance here would be a novelty
in the matter of costume. Mr. Heating
has replied to the lettor of the minister
of militia concurring in his views as to
having the artillery represented.

ANOTHER SCHOONER WARNED.
One Solid Shot Brought Her To just Be
fore Four O'clock Yesterday Morning.

There was more trouble at Portland
Head yesterday morning. At ten minutes
before four OF clock three schooners headed
for the channel and attempted to enter
the harbor. The guard at Portland Head
gave the signal and solid shot was fred
across the bow of the schooner which was
ahead.
The schooner quickly obeyed the warn
ing and came about, likewise the other
two vessels 1t is supposed the schooners
thought it was four O'Clock, when they
are allowed to enter the harbor. Probably
the time kept on the schooners was soIne-
what different than at the Head. 1t is
doubtless fact that the watches on the
schooners were at least twenty minutes
faster than those on the land. After
waiting awhile the vessels again headed
for the harbor and came in, it then being
after four O'Clock.
