port from Rio de Janeiro that Brazil is

surprise here. The government has been
aware for year or more that German
colonization in South America had reached
a point where serious apprehension was
excited in the minds OF the Latin Ameri-
can inhabitants and their governments.
Within the last six months the state de-
partmsnt has received several reports from
consuls in South America and Germany
which indicate r purpose on the part OF
the Germans to become the controlling
class in that continent. at least in COM
mercial way

WASHINGTON. April eo-As a result of
protracted struggle in the house today
the provision Of the naval appropriation

to contract for srmor for the battleships
Maine. Ohio and Missouri. now awaiting
their armor equipment. at S545 per ton, the
price asked for Krupp armor, is out OF the
bin. as is the provision to repeal the $500
limitation placed upon the price OF armor
by the current law. The fisht came at the
end Of the consideration OF the bill. Al
though the provision was obnoxious 10 the
rule. all the minority members OF the COM
mittee had agreed TO 1t. but today when
the majority declined TO allow the discus
sion OF the appropriation for the estao-
ilshment Of the srmor plate factory. they
retalated by raising a point of order
against the two provisions above referred
to, and they were ruled out.

Objections Raised by Dinsmore.

Before the armor plate question came up
two amendments to modify the provision
for the increase Of the navy which author
ixes two battleships and six cruisers were
defeated
one proposed to add a provision for six
gunboats and the other to strike out the
provision for the hsitleships, The ques-
tion OF building ships in government yards
did not reach a vote, as the amendment
offered to this end was ruled out on
point OF order.

The exact effect OF the action Of the
house today IL disputed. The appropria-
tion OF 100000 under the head of ''armor
and armament remains In the bill, as well
as the language OF the provlso authorizing
the secretary of the navy to contract for
armor of the best quality for the Maine.

being ''at cost not to exceed s545 a ton.
Including royalties"
II is contended by some that this en-
powers the secretary TO contract for the
armor plate without regard TO cost. BY
others 1t Is claimed that the provision will
be Ineffective unless the senate inserts the
price.

VICTORIA. r. G., June N.-This even
ing saw the termination Of the Martin
government. which has been in power
here since last spring Today at noon
Premier Martin waited on the governor.
and later in the day held caucus of hts
supporters The result was that this
evening he placed hts resignation in the
hands of the governor
The latter AZ once sent for James Duns-
muir, head OF the f, & y. railway and
member for South Nanaimo. and asked
him TO undertake the formation of a
government Dunsmuir at once accedcd
to the request, although doubtful II he
will be able TO reconcile the different sec
tions OF the opposition party. He has un-
I'll o'clock tomorrow in which TO decide
whether he will be able 10 form an ad-
ministration.
The news became bruited about at II
o'clock. Smith Curtis minister OF mines,
was seen by your correspondent few
minutes previously and stated that there
were no new developments. Ten minutes
later a man about town came into the
Savoy theater with the news, which the
crowd at first refused TO credit. However.
the governor and Cross. private secre-
tary to Martin were in the building and
confirmed the news which viii he given
TO the province in the morning papers.
Martins resignation has given the gov
ernor much more latitude in his selection
OF successor than would be the case II
he deferred resigning until after the op-
position caucus at Vancouver on Mon
day. If the opposition party decided upon
a leader at the gathering mentioned the
country would naturally look 60 the gov
ernor to recognize that selection in
calling in fresh advisers. The resignation
of the premier at once. however, relieves
the governor OF any such obligation.
The question OF what attitude the OF.
tawa government will assume toward the
governor siiil occupies a great deal OF
attention Special dispatches from OF
tawa to the Times today, however, indi-
cate that nothing will be done until the
legislature meets. when. through the votes
and proceedings. the dominion authori-
ties will be made acquainted officially
with the result of tho election.
In the meantime the Liberal Associa-
tion OF Vancouver has ranged itself on
the side OF the governor. A strong reso-
luton was passed by a large meeting of
the association last evening. supporting
Gov McInnes in his action In the recent
political crisis, and deprecating any at
tempt at hs removal from office. The
resolution also stated that the associa-
