London, May l, l a. m.-The most interesting
episode Of the last twenty-four hours has been
the breath Of fresh air at the imperial function.
the annual banquet of the Colonial Institute in
Whitehall Rooms. The speaking began after .
o'clock. and perfUnctory for two hours.
Lord irey, as chairm4n, opened the preeeedngs
quietly and there was nothing Of exceptional
interest Henry Copeland representing New
South Wales. suggested that the three sons Of
the Prince Of Wales should have the titles Of
princes OF Canada. Australia and South Africa,
and his daughter that Of Princess of New-Zea-
land. Sir Edward Seymour quoted Captain
Mahan and described Americans as creating
colonies and increasing their navy. and Sir Les
lie Rumble asserted that good feeling had been
brought about between the colonial contngents
and the British army The Lord Chancellor
talked about the utility Of Parliament, and Lord
Grey paid a tribute 10 the unselfsh dealism Of
Cecil Rhodes
It not until II o'clock that real interest
was created by the response Of Colonel Denison
10 the toast "A United Empire" He was only
on his feet five minutes but he carried repre-
sentative audience Of 24O coonials with him.
He said It was true that the empire neither
united nor organized for defence and that the
approaching conference at the coronation would
be the most important event in the history Of
the British race Canadians thought that the
empire should be combined for defence. a trade
war might come any moment. What Canada
would propose the conference would be TO
put tariff Of or 10 per cent on all foreign
goods at every British port not for protection,
but for imperial defence. This would help pro-
tect the trade Of the empire, and stop merciless
competition and a commercial from foreign
nations If this tariff We're put on and free
trade established within the empire, England
ought TO be willing to make sacrifices Premier
Seldom certainly would be with Canada, and
probably Australia also, in presenting this
proposition
Colonel Denson's policy excited murmurs Of
dissent at first, but appauded with great
vigor the close practical sequel of the
tax grain ana -four.

A twelve-years-old son of Louis
Rosenthal nearly lost his life by
drowning on Saturday morning.
He went down to the culvert on
Market street, near the river, where
the backwater had overflowed the
road, and in attempting to place a
plank in the road at the request of
a by-stander, he stepped off the
edge and went down in fifteen feet
of water. He had on gum boots
and was unable to swim, but fortu-
nately caught hold of the plank and
was able to keep his head above
water. For time it looked serious
for the boy, but Walter c. Trappe
happened along, and throwing off
his outer clothing and boots he
plunged into the icy flood and sue
ceeded in lodging the boy and him
self in the branches of tree.
There they remained for fifteen or
twenty minutes until a fence section
was procured and rope brought
down by Supplies team, which had
been telephoned for. They were
finally landed, and though chilled

through water up to the second

arrived there early Sunday morn
ing. There he engaged a livery
man to drive him to Danville, and
when about four miles from that
place the whiffletree broke and
the horses got away but stopped
only a short distance ahead. There
were no houses near, but in all
