ENGLAND PROTESTS.
Mother Country Asks Colonies to
Contribute More Literally.

New York, Monday, March "a
There is undoubtedly growing de-
mand by the people of this country
that the self governing colonies should
bear larger share of the cost of the
imperial defence, says a dispatch to
the Tribune from London. The Sat
urday Review, referring to the subject
argues as follows:
"SuppOsing for moment that Can
ada was separate country. She
would be forced, especially as her
wheat export increases. to keep a con-
siderable fleet to defend her merchant
men, and yet Sir Wilfried Laurier
maintains that Canada is doing her
full duty in the imperial defense by
building railways, most of which were
made possible by English capital"
The real meaning of this and sim.
liar arguments is that John Bull, in
spite of his broad back is grooming I'M
der an income tax of Is pence on the
pound, and is anxious to be relieved
of the load.

by President Palma tonight was &C.
cordingly issued, after a conference

COAL AND IRON FOUND

In the vicinity Of these plscers they
discovered an iron bearing vein
between porphyry and syenite,
and within thirty feet Of this a two

a good quality Of Ignite, samples Of
