"I was in London," said Mr. Rose, "while the Premiers of the selt•govera ing colonies were in 000ferenoe with the Colonial Office and kept my,eif well in- formed regarding its proceedings. I tea oepted a number of invitations to funo• time given iu honorof the oolooial Pre- miere by the Imperial League, the Brit. ieh Empire League, the Oouatitutional Club, andother bodies. At these affairs opportunities of seeing and hearing prominent men from all parte of the empire were afforded. I oleo attended the debates in the Hopee of Commons at Westminster daring a great portion of the dieouseion of the Edaoatioo bill, a subject in whioh I was much intereeted. L found the members of the Hoose wrestling with phaseu of the edooatioaal question which we settled many yeare ago, par icularly the subject of religious in- struction in elementary sohoole," THE n1tPERIAL CONFERENCE. Regarding the Imperial Conference Sir. Rose said :-"Tho Oauadion Miuiatere were most aoeiduoue in their attendance at the meetinge. I have meson to believe that the (i nterstte, a though it may not bear immediate fruit in every particular in which Canadians are interested, wilt ultimately, to nee the words of Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, 'prodaoe ooneider. able results.' The Imperial Ministers took great interest in the deliberations of the conference, and showed the keenest anxiety to make it a means for promot- ing the anity of the empire. In this re. salt, I am satisfied, they will be emceed al. A full report of the resolutions approved at the meeting will goon be made public. PREFERENTIAL TRADE. "The impartanae of preferential trade between the United Kingdom and the colonies WAS fully dieoaseed. I was in formed that, in view of the result of the recent election in North Leede and the opposition offered to the bread tax in the Home of Commons and by some of the leading j ,ornale of Great Britaiu, the Imperial Government considered it prod. ant not to commit itself to any preference to the colonies at the present time, not. withstanding that this question was, etrougly pressed upon its attention by Sir Wilfrid Laurier and hie colleagues. The dootrinea of free trade have still a very strong bold of the public mind, and it requires epeoial leadership to direct the movement in the mother aonntry in favor of a preferential tariff, although it hoe many sopportero both in England and Sootland, some of them in very influential gaartere, FAST STEAMSHIP SERVICE. "The vitiation of a fast steamship ger. vibe between Great Britain and Canada was also discussed, but, ,o far as I could learn, no definite conduction was remitted. It wan greatly to the advantage of the members of the Canadian Government to have an opportunity of dieoneeiog this gaeetion with the large capitalists and others interested in the shipping nom• mercy of the old country. The opinion w'au very freely expressed by many influ- ential.' men during my any in England that eomething mast be done to counteract the etfeot of the great eteamehip onmbine formed by J. Pierpont Morgan. A fast Beeville between the United Kingdom and Canada appeared to be the beet way to meet this combination. INQUIRY 0011 CANADIAN 00000. "1 wee glad," continued the Premier, "to learn that there is a general desire on the pert of Eugli,h merchants to trade with Canada to au even greater extent than heretofore, and that inquiries are being nand, at the Higb Commissioner's office more frequently than ever ae to whether certain goods now on the British market, whioh were pnrobaaed abroad, could be supplied by Canadian dealer,. I believe that nettling could better promote trade with Gre ,t Britain than a well- equipped depot and commercial agency in. Landon for the distribution of informs. tion reepeeting Causdian products of every kind. It was moat gratifying to bear emit good reports ou every hand with regard to Canadian bacon, butter, oheeee hod beet. A leading cattle dealer at Liverpool informed me that in th e est Iwo yearn a great improvement imp he quality of the live stook shipped to the British market from. Canada bad been apparent. 000REA0EDINT0RneT IN 0000000. "There 000m0 to be an ioereased inter. est in Canadian affairs on the part of the press and of public then in earnest every position of influence in Groat Britain. Invitations were extended to the colonials, it they,il naae, by all the l6adiog aloha or the city, and there teemed to be no end to the list of reoeptione, within and without the city of London whioh were given by men of the bighted rank in the empire. An far North as Edinburgh and Glasgow, d over in Dublin, hospitalities were freely offered to those of the o010010le wbo were in a position to aooept them," Mr. Rose said that Sir Wilfrid Laurier bad suffered a good deal during hie ocean trip, but that after a few days' rest In London he had greatly improved in health, Wbeo be started for a tour of the ooutinent he wets in expellent spirits. SIR rumen» 0010000 OOMINd. "I have jun had a cablegram," said the Premier, 'from Sir Edmund Barton, Prime Minister of the Anatralimo Com• monwealth, saying that he expecte to be in " Toronto on September 1, andthat be will remain here until the 4th of tbat month. This will give him an opportun• ityof seeing at the great Industrial Fair the wealth of trait, of grain and !greet prodnote which Ontario contains.
