For Severn! years last, to use the lan guage < f a prominent military officer here, the Bnitsii have been hammering at Sir John McDonald to strengthen the defense of Canada, that in the event .of trouble the dominion jarould not bo solely dependent upon great Britain for protection. This request luvs not lx*en carried out to the satisfaction of the British government. It is stated on the highest authority that the officer comhmndiog the dominion forces, Gen eral Herbert, was sent out to Canada to investigate the actual state of affairs, which duty his predecessor* appear to have neglected. That the Matioos'ex isting between General Herbert and the minister of militia, Sir Adolph Caron, are somewhat strained as u result, is an open secret. —^ : There appears to lie little doubt that it is the intention of the British gov ernment to send several regiments to Canada shortly. ' This has been in con templation for some time. Again, for tifications at Halifax, still under^ con trol of the imperial jinthorit ies. are be- ing strengthened. The same policy is to be carried out in British Columbia, but there is some hitch between the home and Canadian authorities as to the outlay it will involve. The naval dockyard at Esquimau, on the Pacific coast, was jointly constructed by the British and dominion governments, but it has been reported by file home au thorities that it is seriously defective in many particulars. Speaking on the question of defense, a prominent ..official of the government said that the moment the United States government abrogated the agreement of 1817, which restricted the naval forces of both Canada and the United States on the Great Lakes to four vessels each, no vessel to exceed 100 tons burden, ' armed with one 18 pound gnu. and in creased the strength of the fleet on the* waters, Great Britain would run up tL fleet of her iron-clads to keep them com pany-. It has been suggested that Eng land has become alarmed at the strong annexation movement which appears to Wive seixed her subjects in Canada, and precautionary measures, the point of th he is In the lead of all the candidates, and that Mr. MiiU stands second in the strength of hie following. Mr. Mills has kept out of sight since bin return from Ohio, not stopping at his residence on Capitol Hill, but those who have tulked with him say he ex presses great confidence in the succcvsa of his own canvass for the speakership. Mr. Crisp say* that all the information he has received on tho speakership question has been satisfactory. While j he does not express confidence in words, | he evidently agree’* with fits friund* that he is very apt to be *i>eak»r of the next liOnse.
