Bannerman Finds No Tendency Towards
Disruption Except in South Africa -
Declares for Free Trade and Advo-
cates Home Colonization.
Loudon, Dec. 25. -In his frist speech
as Premier Sir Henry Campbell -Banner-
man last night deelaxed the policy of the
Government to be to draw the colonies
closer noel closer. "It is surely unneces-
sary," he sell, "for us as Liberals to
make public protestation of on affec-
tionfor the colonies and our desire to
bring them closer and closer to ourselves.
The relations between the colonies and
the mother country have never been
settled on lines of party polities, but if
they were to be so conaucted, surely the
democratic und progressive instincts and
the institutions of these great eommun-
itiee would find. more affinity among 11.9
than among our opponents."
`I nave heard with relief and pleasure
from Lord Elgin that he finds no trace
of that tendency towards disruption of
which we were told but a. month ago, and
no sign of tension or friction. Every-
thing is smooth save toe one ruffled spot
of South Africa."
In regard to the letter, Jie. nnitounced
the conclusion of the Government to
stop Chinese 'emigration and labor there,
On the fiscal question lie declared for
free trade, and. did not believe that tau,'
would have been confronted by the
spectre of protection, but for the South
Afriean war. He tolvocatea colonizing
the and at home, making it lees a plea-
sure ground for the rich and. more a
treasure house for the nabion. Pr•otec-
Lion would be death to desired reforms.
Peace almoad and economy at home
would be his policy.

NOW Development.
Toronto despatch:. Mr. W. II. Close,
the Government Auditor, has decided,
with the approval of the Attorney -Gen.
eral, to conduct, a searching investiga-
tion into the affairs of the York Loan
Company. This decision was taken (12'
ter the examination of Mr. Phillips yes-
terdity mondng. The investigation will
be conauctea under oath, and will begin
on Tousday next. Snopoenas will prob-
ably be issuna to -day. 'nacre ie no inten-
tion in this action u clash with the
liquidators, and the proceedings will be
earned on in the office of the company
011 R•oneesvalles avenue. The adMission
by Mr. Philips of an onderstandiug with
the Southern Light & Power Company
time he should involve a block of stock
will be gone into. Should it appear that
common stock in the Southern Light
Power Company wits allotted to Mr.
Phillips for Ills part in floating the com-
pany's bonds, such common stock would
be regarded as among the York Loan
assets. Mr. C. A. Masten, of Masten,
Starr & Spence, is acting for Mr. Cross,
Mr. Phillips stated that he had told
the liquidator of all the assets of the
company. He had no further infOrIna-
tiou of assets in the mane of the com-
pany or of individuals, or -of other com-
panies. He had been connected for twelve
years with it, two yaws as manager of
agents, before becoming President. He
would have to look up the names of the
first direetors, and the assets in 1893.
Phe assets were first mortgage loans
originally. The date and circumstances
of the purchase of the Roneesvalles pro-
perty lie would have to look up. He had
nothing to no with passing the Ace al-
lowing investments in real estate. The
National Magazine was his own personal
property. No money of the company bad
been put in it. The printing press be-
longed to the Toronto Life Insurance Oo.,
and was bought by it for cash from the
York Loan Co. Ile had no manufactur-
ing industries in cormeetion with the
company. There was no barrel factory.
They were not interested in the Lee
Grocery Co. The 'eerie Loan bad ad-
vanced no money to it, nor for the skat-
ing rink.
Mr. Phillips was desired to inform
himself of the exact relation of the sub-
sidiary eompanies to the York Loan.
The directors' salaries were fixed by
themselves. His men salary had varied
from time to time, having been as low
as $15 a week. It was $60 at the pres-
ent time; the Vice -President's was $30.
He was positive no commission had
been paid ou the purchase of debentures.
The Southern Light & Power Company's
bonds were bought at par. There had
been an agreement to buy them at 90,
but they were bought at par.
No Iterest in Piano Co.
He did not know the directors of the
Liszt Piano Company. The York Loan
Company was not interested in that
company in any way. The only con-
nection was through the agents, who
had his permission to sell for it, as [they
had been selling for other piano com-
panies. It was no benefit to the com-
pany, except as it helped to support the
agents. There was no arrangement, ex-
cepe that he had given permission to
Mr. Burt. Mr. George R. Burt, of the
piano company, was no relative of Mr.
E. J. Burt, of the life insurance com-
pany, and the names had been confused.
The loan made to the piano company
' had been made in the ordinary course
of business, on the security of their
goods and machinery.
At the head ,offive ni Parkaale yes-
terday the staff was as busy as ever,
over a thousand pass books, having been
taken in over the counter. Mr. having
Smith stated that the books of the
company were found to be in very good
shape.
The New York syndicate which was
reported to have made an offer to the
company for its Parkdale real estate is
ready to renew its .offer, which was bas-
ed on a valuation of current, rates and
a cash purchase.
An order has been made by Mr. Neal
McLean, the official referee, that share-
holders of the York County Loan need
make no further payments until there
is a further direction by the court.
