SUBSIDY LuNAGY

The anomalous position Of Canada was
we'll illustrated by the debates and reso-
lutions in the board of trade convention
that the supremacy of the British mer-
chant marine and trade must be main
tanned the convention favored Canadian
commercial agents. In other words the
Canadians find that the commercial
agents of the empire whose trade su-
premacy they are so eager to maintain do
not look after Canadian interests. If
these Canadian commercial agents are.
appointed, the time will come when they
will be found to be promoting Canadian
trade at the expense Of British trade. -
Another result of the relations Of Can
ada to the United States on the one hand
and to Great Britain on the other is to
be found in the resolutions in favor Of
subsidizing Canadian British transpor
tation line around the world to compete
with the Morgan-Hill mergers, while the
convention voted down a provision that
the subsidized company should give as
cheap rates from Canadian ports as are
given by the American lines from Amer
lean ports. .., ys 49,
The delegates were afraid that such a
provision would keep the company from
competing for American export freight.
Thus the convention voted to substitute a
line which Is to be left free to give Amer
ican goods cheaper freight rates than
Canadian goods In other words the Ca
nadians have gone on record as being
willing to pay part of the freight on
American exports for the sake Of carrying
it, 1t is really plan by which the Ca
nadians will assist the Americans to
cheap rates.
Nothing could please US better. The
people of the American west will sin
cerely hope that the Canadians and the
British between them will establish fast
trans Atlantic lines Independent Of the
Morgan merger and free to give Amer
leans lower rates than they give to Cana
dams. There can not be too much of
| this kind of British sentiment in Can
ada to please us.
I But while the convention was hot
enough for any measure that promised to
| increase trade between Canada and Great
Britain, there was great diversity Of
opinion when it came to the question OF
imperial defense. The Canadians, like
other peoples, are, selfish. They would
rejoice if the British people should tax
themselves to give the Canadians pref
erential market, but they; are reluctant

1t is proposed in Chicago to have the
street car companies, at least those
reaching the outskirts and suburbs, run
dining cars and serve breakfast and other
meals. Then the busy Chicagoan could

his evening paper on the way home If
he had to wait as long for a car in Chi

In addition, the war office refuses to recognize drills which are not attended by a percentage of men which it has hitherto been found quite impossible to attain and imposes bat talion parades Of such strength that there is TO drill hall or drill ground in London large enough to enable the bat talions to maneuver. Among those who condemn the new regulations is Colonel Balfour, brother of Cabinet Minister A. J. Balfour, who commands the Lon don Scots.
 The matter will be brought to the at tcntion of parliament and if the order of War Secretary Frederick is not amended the volunteer force. so the colonel of one of London's strongest regiments says. will dwindle to nothing. In the meantime the war office is still waiting anxiously for the answer to the call for troops for service in South Africa.

The speakers remarks on trusts and taxation were received with hearty applause, and his attack on imperialism caused the greatest en- thusiasm.
 At the close of the address MT. Bryan held an informal reception at the Har- yard union, under the auspices of which his address was given.

 the Plunder.

Naco. Ariz.. Jan. u.-(SpecialD-A towns in all the west, was thoroughly aroused over a robbery Of s2,00O last night. which resulted in a very lively time. Cowboy Johnson. a well known character over the southwest has been in NacO for the past few days spend ing thousands of dollars over the rou- lette tables. and al times has won heavily, and last night he locked up in his trunk g.. GOO in Mexican dobies. John Richie and Ben Crawford, who are particularly hard characters, set about to get this money and broke into John sons place. They unlocked the trunk and secured the money. but did not es- cape before Johnson appeared on the scene. Two officers were summoned and proceeded to arrest Richie and Crawford, who put up a hard fight. Every man pulled his gun and shots were returned. and were fired in every direction, two taking effect and wounding Crawford. Two of Captain Mossmans rangers appeared on the scene and succeeded in arresting the outlaws and placing them in jail.
 These two men are said to belong to a gang that has caused the rangers great trouble. and whom they have been in pursuit of for some time.
 Johnson who was in the midst of the fight showed great daring. He wears the 'most valuable diamonds of any man in the territory and is sought out generally by the bandits.

Protests Pouring in Against the Ap-
 pointment of Daniels.

Washington, Jan, n.-Predictions are made that the nomination of E. F. Daniels. the Rough Rider, to be Uni ted States marshal for Arizona. will not be confirmed by the senate. Pro tests against his appointment have come to the president and to members of the senate. Most of them have been sent in from Arizona signed by min isters of the gospel and others, who represent that since his residence in Arizona Daniels has followed the occu patton of a gambler. A protest was received today from Dodge City. Kan, in which it was stated that he lad killed a man there in 1886.
 The president has given no expres- sion of his intentions with regard to Daniels. and no member of the senate has yet committed himself to his action when the nomina ton of Daniels is called up. It is believed. though, that he will not be confirmed until after a thorough investigation of the charges against him has been made
