FOR CANADIAN INDEPENDENCE
south African War Accusing Intent
Hostility mOn French in Quebec
to British Rule.

NEW YORK, Dec. ga special to the
World from Ottawa says: One grave result
to Gambia of the war in South Africa is the
arousing of all the latent hostility to British
rule in Canada among the French in Quebec
province.
Recent mutterings of a possible Anglo
French conflict have aggravated the anti
British sentiment there and strengthened
desire among French Canadians for the in
dependence of Canada. The dream of the
great majority in French Canada is not now
a new France on the banks of the st. Law
renee, but another independent state on the
continent Of America. So deeply imbued is
the French Canadian population with the
idea of an ultimate independence of this
country that not a few consider the time
about ripe for it.
This idea is voiced in a recent letter from
D.. Monet, member OF Parliament, to the
press of Montreal. He writes:
Il do not wish to spend | cent to bind any
closer bonds-eXcept the commercial bonds
which unite us to Great Britain. We have
almost nothing in common with the old con-
tinent. l am a Canadian and my ideal is to
see Canada take rank among the indie
pendent nations as soon as it will be sufi-
GENTLY developed by the vitality of its popu-
III anu AhD lIllllltIlSlNy u lS Z
sources"
Mr.. Monet, as well as Mr.. Bourassa, NJ.
F., who has already acted upon his protest
against aiding Britain by resigning his seat
in Parliament, is among the ablest of the
members of tbs Commons f,Jm Quebec.
And now another French member of Par
lament, Mr.. Chauvin, is heard publicly de-
nouncing the sending of Canadian troops to
aid Britain in the war. At a public meeting
held at st. jerome, Quebec, Mr.. Chauvin
said he knew the electors would approve
when he told them that he had decided tc
struggle in Parliament against Imperialism
and against imperial federation, military OF
political, with England.
At the same meeting G. A. Mantel, min
lister of public works for Quebec, spoke in
the same strain and strongly denounced the
Imperialism which Lord Mimic and General
Hutton are trying to fasten upon the coun-
try
The French newspapers are not less EN-
phatic. L'Evenement, the leading conserva-
tive journal of Quebec City, says the Anglo,
Boer war is unjust and provoked for specu-
lative ends by the ambitious Chamberlain.

BRITISH TO PATROL ATLANTIC
TO watch Vessels Leaving American
Ports with COntrnbnnd OF War
Use West Indin Squadron.

NEW YORK, Dec, pa special to the
World from Halifax, n. S, says: Great
Britain is apparently preparing to patrol the
Atlantic. The report that the larger part
of the British North American and West
Indies squadron have received orders con
corning the alleged violation OF the nell
trality laws by vessels leaving American
ports with contraband of war seems to be
well founded.
One of the officials Of the navy yard hero,
when asked by a reporter If two war yes
sells would be dispatched from the British
North American squadron, declared that he
knew for an absolute certainty that COM
munications touching upon the matter had
been exchanged between Halifax and the
commander Of the fleet at the West Indies.
Arrangements are being made, he said, for
the dispatch Of at least two vessels to do
patrol duty on the North Atlantic coast.
The cruisers Will sail Immediately after re-
ceipt Of final orders.

sent.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-Since the recent
announcement of the new policy Of the In
terror department denouncing wild Indians
in exhibitions the department has been de-
luged with beth written and oral inquiries,
Colonel w. +. Cody has protested that the
action will nearly ruin his business. He sent
a representative here who urged COMMITS
sioner of Indian Affairs Jones to make an
exception in his case. A number of other
interested parties also have called at the
Indian bureau on the subject. A large mum .
Der of letters on the subject, mostly en-
dorsing the departments attitude, have
come by mail.
Commissioner Jones said there would be
no change in the departments policy and
that he was convinced the exhibitions have
a demoralizing tendency and retard Indian
progress. 1t is recognized, however, that,
failing the government consent, Indians
nay be contracted with and withdrawn from
the reservations and exhibited without the
present formality Of securing official action,

(NCw York World Cablegram-Special Tele-

hear two reports from the Beers big guns,
Immediately followed by a tremendous fuB-
illade all along the Bocrs' front in the dark

could hear no sound at the distance. The
British are at a loss to understand the sud

on the alert against a night attack and

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Dec. 2S.-A Butte,
Mont. special to the Pioneer Press says:
The Pennsylvania mining suit, the first Of
the big cases between F. August Heinz and
the Montana Ore Purchasing company on
one side and the Boston & Montana and
other companies of the Amalgamated Copper
company on the other. was today decided in
favor of Heinz & Co. by Judge Clancy Of

trict court is concerned the decision is equal
to 80, 900, 900. The ground and ore bodies
involved are valued at $1,OO0,OO and the ore
already taken by Heinz is valued at as much
more.
The decision gives him the right to follow
the ore bodies through the entire northern
half of the Pennsylvania claim, which ad-
Joins the Johnstown, owned by him..

FAWCETT'S SPEECH DID 1T
Omaha Judge Carries the Day for
AmHIgamation of Covenant Mutual
and Ia Northwestern.

GALESBURG, H., Dec. 2S.-By a vote of
1907 to 76. the Covenant Mutual Life as
ISOLATION of this city decided to amalgamate
with the Northwestern Assurance company
Of Chicago. This is the largest insurance
transfer on record, as the 5000 members
of the Covenant Mutual Life Assurance as
sociation, whose policies aggregate $40, O00,-
goo, will go over to the Northwestern com
pany in a body.
There was much opposition among some
members of the Covenant association against
the transfer and for a time it looked as
though the deal would not be carried
through, but a speech made by Judge Jacob
Fawcett of Omaha carried the day for the
amalgamation and once the break was
made in the ranks Of the DIRECTORS, they
came over very fast and at the close there
was practically no opposition. The thing is
likely to get into the courts, however, as
! some Of the minority are determined to stop
the transfer, if it be possible. An attempt
was made today to invalidate the proxies
held by the officers of the Covenant associa-
ton, but it failed. The opposition was led
by Simon Stein Of Chicago.
AS soon as the meeting adjourned, which
was Immediately after the transfer had been
voted, President SGnollinger Of the Covenant
association signed the contract of transfer
and gave a deed for the property Of the Gov
enant Mutual Life association to Stewart
Goodrell of Chicago, as trustee. The ad-
vance cash amounting to $50, 600 was turned
over to the Northwestern company. Good
rell holds the balance OF the property, an
amount of over $500, 600, with which he will
liuuidate the liabilities OF the Covenant Nut
ual Life association, amounting to 1886, 900

that he will begin an injunction proceeding
tomorrow for the purpose OF having the
