Conservatives in To- ronto and Montreal are celebrating the first anniversary of their victory, and I am enjoying my first birthday as leader of the Kibg s loyal opposition, whish I have more reason to celebrate because I went down on a principle. I can always take defeat like a roan, and that is what keeps me so young, "At the time of .the Conservatives' declaration of the defeat of Laurier, they promised that you would have the Georgian Bay Canal within a year.

But Ulstermen Will Keep It Up, Says Sir Edward Carson. 1 Coleraine, Ireland, Sept. 23, -"Ul- ster has never yet been conquered and never will be." This was the keynote of the speech of Sir 'Edward Car. son, who addressed a big meeting here Saturday in opposition to home rule.

Hundreds of prmalinee„ Conserva- tives with a number of Liberals at- tended the banquet at which, in ad- dition to the Premier, many members of elle Cabinet and leaders iron: other provinces 'were present. The Premier spoke at length on his visit to England, on the adminis- tration of his party since 'coming in- to powers, and in defence of the atti- tude of the, Copservative party in eon- neetion with many public questions., L. T. Mareehial proposed the toast to the Premier in a speech paying tri- bute to This work and defending the national policy, which, ha declared, the Conservatives would always ad- here to and "which had enabled Can- ada to open up the western country and connect it with the east." Other speakers in addition to the Premier were Hon. Robert Rogers, who denied that there was any in- creasing sentiment in favor of recl- procty in the west and delivered a. virulent attack upon the Liberal press and the Liberal leaders of the west who, he declared, were continually stirring up race hatted and religious and sectional prejudice for their own ends. George Drummond, who urged that Canadian ]manufacturers establish themselves in the western provinces so that the needs and views of the east and west might become more similar. Hon. Mr. Monk, dealing with the prosperity of the country and pro- phesying a triumphant and speedy set- tlement of the questions which his party has to handle, and Hon, Win. White, who dealt briefly with the cern- menial and financial issues ti the day. \hen Mr. Borden arose to speak he was greeted with applause which compelled him to remain lowing and smiling for upwards of ten minutes before he even attempted to speak. "We inherited from the previous Government a considerable number of very difficult and delicate questions and I am not going to enter fully upon theee to -night. When I do it will be in more detail than is possible. at such a gathering as this. But having to take these matters up, we dealt with them as seemed right according to one consciences and according to the oonstitution of the country. Mr. Borden then spoke of his visit to England, and declared. "I told the people: of Great Britain that we in Canada had sharply dis- tinguished between two question first, that of grave conditions con- fronting the Empire which might demand certain considerations and certain actions at our hands, while the other was the more, complex and difficult, the question of permanent co- operation in the defence of the Empire which would be brought about in that regard. And I 'ventured to tell the people of the Mother Country that if 1 understood the spirit of the Canadian people aright, Canada did not propose to be adjuhct even to the British Empire. And speaking at a great many places, before Parl'tamentarians,before the Royal Colonial Institute, before the London ClhL.nber of Commerce, and before an audience of 5,000 people at Glasgow, no statement that I made was more warmly received. or more enthusiastically applauded than the statement that with co-operation in imperial defence must also cone a 'certain voice with Canada in settling the issues of peace and war:" iitt Borden then, 'made the an- nouncement that Parliament would openirin' November and 1 yt ot ti nc following the receipt net week of de- tailed information regarding the naval situation from the' Imperial authori- ties the Cabinet would be in a'petii rri to present their naval policy.

Since the' signing of the Anglo -Rus- sian' convention of 1907 for the main- tenance of Persia's independence and integrity, and incidentally for the div': sion of the country into !British nnel Russian spheres of influence there ha beena steady growth of this influence and• a corresponding shrinkage of in- dependence in fei'sia. The exact divi- sion of territory, will riot be easy. The Russian papers claim Teheran. If t''e Emperor gets the capital, Greet Bri- tain's share will be decidedly the smaller value: Some of the Liberal papers bewail the disappearance of Persia as 0 buffer stateand foresee a great increase iu the British •militry establishment when the British -Russian boundary is drawn across the middle of what is now -.Persia. Nowhere is the outcome of the con- ference between Sir Edward Grey and 181. Snzanoff awaited with greater in- terest than in the capitals of the Bal- kan states as it is believed that they have a vital bearing on the crisis in the near east, the gravity of which. unless the powers induce Turkey im- mediately to introdaice reforms in M a edamu all are a ireea upon. The representatives in London of Bulgaria, Servia, Greece and Monte- negro are watching closely the pro- gress of the convention which began in London Saturday and will be continu- ed at Balmoral Castle to -day, Thele is no confirmation here of the reported alliance of the four Balkan states to make common cause against Turkey, but it is acknowledged that a rapprochement exists for their pro- tection. Must Abandon Canal? Niagara Falls, Ont., Sept, 23.-"I do not believe that the first vessel will pass through the .Panama. Canal on Oct. 15, 2913," said Henry Lovering, a mining engineer of Cape Graeias, Nicaragua, who is visiting U, S. Con- sul Edward Trimmer, I don't bd- lieve that any vessel will ever -pass through the canal." "Why not?" he said. "Well, the engineers have not been able to find bottom in the Culebra cut anc',, they have gone down 200 feet, You remem- ber what happened about two weeks ego - that fall of millions of cubic yards of earth? That bears me out. I believe Stevens ee Shontz knew that a canal at Panama was impossible, that's why they quit. There's ne bet- ter engineer in the cpuntry than Col. Goelthals. He was sent to Paaiama to dig the canal, and he is doing great work against•tremendon- odds, army officers are not supposed to express their opinion, They do as they are told. The 'engineers who were sent down to make the preliminary survey some twenty years ago, reported that the Panama route was not feasible. They favored the Nicaragua route, de- spite the fact that the Panama route is about three miles longer." Baby Floated Down Stream. St. Catharines, Sept. 23. -The in- fant child of Mrs. A.

"Here is a letter," he said, "which I would like you to take to the governor of• New York, or if you can't get through to New York and can go to Harrisburg deliver it to the governor of Pennsylvania. I believe there are more militia ready to come from New York than anywhere else; therefore I prefer that you should go there. The letter gives the appalling condition of things here, and, coming from me, it would never do for it to fall into the hands of the secessionists, I must therefore asir you to protect it with your life and if taken by southern sympathizers destroy it if possible. "Mr. President," 1 said, "I shall car-' ry out your order to the best of my ability." I succeeded in getting a train that took nee to Baltimore and, not being known in any way connected with the government, had no trouble in getting through the city. It was at Havre de urace that I met with danger. The secessionists had burned the railway bridge over the Susquehanna river, and there was no way of getting acrdss ex- cept in rowboats. There was a secret patrol by seces- sionists on both shores who made it their business co see that no one in the interest of the government got across. Pretending to be a rabid opponent of the "black Republican government," as it was then called, 1 walked up and down the southern bank of the river, ostensibly watching for those who were on business for the troops trying to make their way to Washington. See- ing a boat coming, I called upon sev- eral men of the volunteer patrol, say- ing: "Here comes a boat with several men in it. The one in the stern with a silk bat on looks like a railway offi- cial 1 know and a northern man. He may be working to open the road. Let's see." We met the boat when it landed, and i slraightwzty accused the man 1 had meudolled of being an assistant super- lutendrlit of the railroad.
