A strange oromeeing. "Mr. Bicknell, C.

He said tha proceedings to wind up under Judge Macatahon's order would be contested on this ground. For Purposes of Protection, The lawyers for the petitioners for the order., to wind up say that the application has been made, for the purpose of protecting the, sharehold- ers and creditors generally.

Speaking at a special meet- ing of the London: Chamber of Com - Marco yesterday, dwelt on Sir Wil- frid Laurieras declaratiou before the Chamber of Commerce in favor of maintaining the fiscal independerice of Canada, end P. W. Ellis' statement to the Manufacturers' Association that she had given preference enough. As a follower of the Duke of Dev- onshire, Lord Ilasebery saw no course more practical than an interchage at' opinions on the best way to help each other. Any financial diseuseions with the colonies should be avoided. The best way to strengthen the de- fences of the Empire would' be found to be by urging the colonial Govern - meats to see that their local forces were efficient. Canada might give ef- fective aid to the Imperial navy by providing men. The Admiralty should provide drill sheds, drill ships and adequate pay for their, retainers. It Was paltry, anti petty for the Home Goversonefit, with aa appropriation of £35,000,000 to wrangle with New- foundland over the cost of a drill shed. An, extended systene of British emigration was needed, which the London Chamber should devise, There should be a liberal subsidy from Im- perial funds for a fast ocean service to Canada. The training of the nary in time of peace would direct all to the fleet in wartime. He strongly fav- ored Lord Strathcohaes proposal of encouraging university students to travel„ in Canada. Sir William C. 33rOoke said he wanted the bestpostal arrangements with Canada for British newspapers. He believed that Canadian manufac- turers would eventually close the, market against British' manufactur- ers. B. Irving. of Vancouver held 'that unless Britain forestalled the agila.. tion by the United States for a clos- er commercialunion there was 'dans. ger ahead: Sir •Albert IC, RoIlit spoke of the marked loyalty of the French..
