by Arnott James Magurn, in the office of the
Minister of Agriculture, in the year 1898.

Preface
The Parlianient:ary Guide, and Work of General Reference, is the
first book of the kind ever published in Canada, and depends for one
of its chief recommendations on its accuracy and reliability. The
material has been collected at first hand from official and personal
sources. The Customs Tariff is absolutely reliable, as it stood October
Ist, 1898. The summary of the public legislation of the Federal Par-
liament will be continued from year to year, and form a tolerably com-
plete index to all the statutes of general interest, and will be found of
no small value to public men, newspaper editors, lawyers and others.
In the preparation of some of the biographical sketches reference has
been made to Morgan's Canadian Men and Women of the Time,
Rose's Cyclopedia of Canadian Biography, G. Mercer Adam's " Prom-
inent Men of Canada," Pierre Roy's Sketches of the Quebec Legisla-
ture, and Cochrane's '* Men of Canada."
The community of interest between Canada and Newfoundland, and
the fact that it is the only British possession in North America outside
of Canada, are sufficient reasons for devoting a chapter to Newfound-
land and its legislature. In this connection acknowledgment of the
services of Mr. P.J. McGrath, of St. John's Nfd., is made.
Bmpire events find a congenial place in such a work, and those
desiring a record of such happenings as the Colonial Conferences of
London, and the Australian Federation Movement, will approve of
their publication here, in view of the fact that they are to be found in
a permanent form nowhere else.
It will be the aim of the compiler to make this a book of dates as
well as of facts and figures. There is no enquiry so often made as the
question of dates, for once that is answered it is easy to know where
to look for particulars of a certain event.
The resolutions of the Dominion Liberal Convention of 1893 are
published here, for the reason that the official report of the convention
is out of print and cannot be had, though often required.
The B. N. A. Acts are accessible to very lew, and their incorpora-
tion here will be found of great value. The Franchise Act, which is
printed in full, is a copy of the statute, and to all those having to do
with the preparation of voters' lists and elections, it will prove a valu-
able reference.
Especial care has been taken in the preparation of the several
hundred biographical sketches contained in this volume, and the
editor alone is responsible for the statements in theM, and for the
political leanings assigned to each subject, authority having been ob-
tained, however, in the majority of cases.
137 Kennedy Street, Winnipeg, Man.,
November ist, 1898
EXPLANATIONS
In the biographical sketches certain well-known abbreviations
have been used, such as b. (born;, m. (married), s. (son), d. (daugh-
ter), el. (elected), v. p. (vice-president), and a few others that are
generally understood, like C. for Conservative and L. for Liberal.
As all the sketches are arranged alphabetically no index is required.
The post office addresses of legislators will be found, alphabetically
arranged, immediately preceding the sketches of the members of
each Legislature.
On page 366, for ** Colonial Conference, 1898," read 1897, and in
first line for '* August 25, 1898," read August 26, 1897.

BRITISH COLUMBIA AND FEDERATION
Confederation came about in British Columbia entirely different to that in
the other provinces in the Dominion. The fathers of Confederation, as the early
pioneers who engineered the confederation of the province are called, had many
difllculties to contend with, for many of the colonists were ever to the front
with claims of advantage in remaining apart. There were local irritations, pro-
vincial prejudices and weighty obligations to make good. Then again the
Crown Colony of British Columbia was far removed geographically from the
seat of Canadian Government, but there were amalgamation movements going
forward on the American side of the line, and if British Columbia was going
to remain British it seemed that confederation was the only counter force to
resist the growing feeling for annexation with the United States. The popula-
tion of the colony was largely British born, with not a few Americans Inter-
spersed. The country, in its physical configurations, its resources, its require-
ments, was in every sense foreign to Canada. Communication and trade was
almost wholly with the Pacific Coast and Great Britain, and sympathies fol-
lowed to a considerable extent in the line of trade and travel. As can then be
plainly seen, confederation was not brought about by sentimentalism. British
Columbia was at that time heavily in debt, the liabilities being $1,500,000 for
about 10,000 white people. The after effects of the Cariboo gold excitement
were being experienced. Prosperity had vanished, times were depressed, money
was scarce and no prospects were ahead. The true feeling at the time of con-
federation was love of Canada; not for what she was, but for what she could
do for them. The people soon saw the advantages to be gained. With a rail-
way from Halifax to the Pacific they would be in a most important position,
both geographically and commercially, a position which, should they annex
themselves to the United States, would always be second to California, but In
confederation second to none. Therefore the prime movement in confederation
was a railway, and direct comunication with the East.
This was given to them by the Canadian Government. When the agreement
w.as signed, the Canadian Government agreed to begin the building of a 3.000
mile railway within two years, $100,000 a year in lieu of lands to be given for
the railway in question, 80 cents per head on a population computed at 60,000 ;
deliverance from a debt of $1,500,000 ; $600,000 for a dry dock at Esquimau ;
superannuation of ofllcials ; $35,000 a year in support of the Qovemment ; 5 per
cent, per annum on the difference between the debt and that of Nova Scotia
and New Brunswick, pro rata of the population; Indians to be cared for by the
Dominion, and nine representatives at Ottawa, three Senators and six members
in the House of Commons. In lieu of this the Province gave up the land inclu-
ded in the railway belt and customs and excise revenues. These terms were
subsequently modified, to some extent, favorably to the Province, but none in
any essential repect.
The memorable debate in the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia on
the subject of confederation with Canada began on March 9th, 1870, when the
then Attorney-General (now Sir Henry P. P. Crease) rose and moved, "That this
Council do now resolve itself into a committee of the whole to take into con-
sideration the terms proposed for the confederation of the Colony of British
Columbia with the Dominion of Canada in His Excellency's message to this
Council." The debate lasted three days, and nine days were spent discussing
the details in committee. Among the speakers who took part were. Attorney
General Crease. Dr. J. S. Helmcken, Amor de Cosmos, Thomas Humphreys.
M. W. T. Drake, John Robson, Joseph Trutch, Henry Holbrook, T. L. Wood,
F. J. Barnard, R. W. W. Carrall, E. Dewdney, and G. A. Walkem. At the
254 PARUAMENTARY GUIDE
Close of the debate the following committee: Messrs. Helmsken, Carrall and
Trutcb, were chosen to go to Ottawa to confer with the Dominion GoYemmenr.
Thej left on May 10th, 1870, by way of San Francisco. The agreement, the
terms of which are stated above, was made on July 7th, 1870.
An election was held in November, confederation being the main issue.
The new Council met on January 5th, 1871. Dr. Helmcken was nominated us
Speaker, but declined. The terms of confederation as agreed upon were passed
unanimouly, and an address was presented to His Excellency the Goyemor,
praying that Her Majesty would be graciously pleased to admit British Co-
lombia, under the proYisions of the North American Act, into the Dominion of
Canada.
Responsible goYemment was of course a natural consequence of confeder-
ation, and the Bill was introduced in the Council on the 31st of January, 1871,
to give power to alter the constitution of British Columbia. The Bill was adop-
ted on February 6th. The first election under the new constitution took place
in October, 1871. Hon. Joseph Trutch was then Lieut. -Governor. Hon. J. F.
(now Judge) MeCrcight being called upon to form the first administration
tmder its rulings. He was Premier and Attorney General. In the winter of 1872
a vote of want of confidence in the Government was passed. Mr. McCreight
and his colleagues resigned, and Hon. Amor de Cosmos was called upon to form
a ministry. Thus it will be seen that the form of government In British Co-
lumbia is, saving that there is no upper house, similar to that of Canada and
Great Britain.

This island, the twelfth largest island in the world, is situated between
46 deg. 37 m.— 51 deg. 39 m. N. lat. and 52 deg. 35m.— 59 deg. 25m. W. long., on
the northeast side of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. It is about 317 miles long and
316 miles broad, and contains about 42,200 square miles, and at the end of 1891
It had a population of 197,934, not Including those resident in the portion of
Labrador (4,106) within the jurisdiction of Newfoundland. Of these 72,342 are
Roman Catholics, 68,075 Church of England, 52,672 Methodists, 1,447 Presbyter-
ians, and 3,398 various. This is the oldest English Colony. It was discovered
by Sebastlayn Cabot in 1497 ; the first land seen was hailed as Prima Vista— the
present Cape Bona Vista. The inhabitants are chiefly located on the coast-line
of the shore and bays, and the greater part are engaged in fishing ; for cod in
summer, and seal fishing in winter and spring ; these are the two main indus-
tries of the island. Lakes and rivers abound ; it is estimated that about one-
third of the surface is covered with water. The Interior was practically In a
state of nature until a few years ago, but a railway has been built through the
Interior, crossing the country from east to west, and which will open up large
tracts of rich agricultural, mineral, and timber lands, but hitherto of small
value. There arc about 620 miles of railway at present. This railway Is con-
nected with the Intercolonial system of Canada by a fast steamer, the "Bruce,*'
running between Sydney, the I. C. R. terminus, and Port-aux-Basques, the
N. F. R. terminus, each day, covering the 90 miles in six hours, and giving
dall:^ communication with the American continent. The climate is salubrious,
and the people are a strong, healthy, Lardy, industrious race. The thermom-
eter seldom falls below zero In winter, and ranges In the shade In summer
from 70 deg. to 80 deg.
Labrador, a dependency of Newfoundland, forms the most easterly part of
America, and extends from Blanc Sable n in the Straits of Bellelsle on the
south to Cape Chudleigh at the entrance of Hudson's Straits on the north. It
possesses valuable cod, herring, trout, and salmon fisheries. There are a few
Moravian missionary settlements on the coast, and also some posts of the
Hudson B&y Company. The principal exports of the Colony are codfish, value
$6,322,980 ; cod and seal oil, $653,228 ; sealskins. $364,854 : tinned lobsters, $429,-
681 ; herrings, salmon, and other products of the fisheries, $426,000 ; copper,
copper ore, and Iron pyrites, $624,750.
The Government Is a responsible one, administered by a Governor, appointed
by the Crown ; a responsible Executive of seven, a Legislative Council of not
over fifteen, appointed for life, and a House of Assembly of thirty-six, elected
by the people every four years. The flret general election, under the *' balT^t
system " and ** Manhood Suffrage Acts," passed In the 1889 session of the Legls-
■'ature, and In 1890 the franchise was given to all males of 21 or over.

tives, or Govemmeiit members ; 8 Liberals, or Oppositionists, and 5 Independ-
ents, the latter having broken from the regular Opposition on the matter of the
railway arrangement with Mr. R. G. Held, ratified in 1898.
A Representative Assembly was first granted to this Colony in 1832, under
the (Governorship of Sir Thomas Cochrane. By the Constitution nine Districts
were established, returning 15 members, who. were to hold their seats during
Her Majesty's pleasure. In 1836 the members of the Assembly were elected for
four yoars, and this term has been adhered to since that date.
In 1854, upon the granting of responsible government, the number of mem-
bers was increased, at the instance of the Imperial Government, to 30. In 1874
the membership was further increased to 31, by the addition of one member to
the number of those representing the District of Twillingate and Fogo.
In 1882 the number of members was increased to 33, by the erection of St.
George and St. Barbe into Districts, with one member each. In 1885, after the
publication of the census of 1884, a partial re-distribution took place. The Dis-
trict of Twillingate and Fogo was divided, Twillingate retaining three members,
Fogo was given one. Bay-de-Verd, which was made to include a part of Trin-
ity District, was allowed an additional member, as was also Harbor Grace.
These alterations Increased the number of members to 36.

CUSTOMS REGULATIONS— PREFERENTIAL TARIFF
The Minister of Customs has, under the power vested ini him by the Act of
1898, and with the. approval of the Governor-General -in-Council, determined
that the following British Colonies and possessions are entitled to the benefits
of the Preferential Tariff, viz. —British India, Ceylon, Straits Settlements^ New
South Wales.
Under the power vested in him by the said Act, the said Minister of Cus-
toms has also, with the approval of the Governor-in-Council, made certain
regulations for carrying out the Intention of such Act, the full text of which
regulations is set forth in the Orders-in-Council of 14th July, 1898, as per copy
annexed hereto.
. Unless the regulations be complied with in every respect the articles will be
subject to payment of the general tariff rates of dut^ upon importations into
Canada.
It is deemed advisable to draw the attention of exporters to the fact that
the Customs laws of Canada provide severe penalties for the making of false
invoices and certificates whereby the Customs Revenue shall or may be de-
frauded. In such cases, the goods are liable to forfeiture, and the exporter
making such fraudulent invoice or certificate, as well as the Importer using
them, is subject to heavy pecuniary penalties in addition to the forfeiture of
the goods. Exporters are, therefore, advised and cautioned to use every care in
furnishing true and correct invoices and certificates for goods shipped to
Canada.
Attention is directed to the following requirements of the Canadian Cus-
toms Laws :—
1. Every Invoice of goods imported into Canada shall be certified in w^rlt-
ing as correct by the person, firm or corporation selling or consigning the goods,
and shall truly show the whole and actual value of the goods In the currency
of the country whence tfie goods have been exported directly to Canada, and
the quantity and description of such goods, and the marks and numbers on the
packages, in such a manner as to indicate truly the quantites and values of
the articles comprised in each exportation package, all of which packages shall
be legibly marked and number^ on the outside when of such a character as to
enable such marks and numbers to be placed thereon.
2. If invoices are made out at lower prices for goods exported directly to
Canada than the fair market value at the same time) and place for such goods
when sold for home consumption in the country whence so exported, in all such
cases the Invoices are also to show clearly, in a special column, or by an addi-
tion thereto, such fair market value, as aforesaid, for the goods described
therein.
Exporters will note particularly that a separate invoice must be furnished
for goods entitled to entry under the Preferential Tariff and that the certificates
required must be written, printed or stamped on the invoice, and also that the
Preferential Tariff does not apply to any of the following articles, viz. : Wines,
malt liquors, spirits, spirituous liquors, liquid medicines and articles containing
alcohol ; tobacco, cigars and cigarettes.
Exporters are required to mark distinctly in writing on all invoices of sugars
exported to Canada that the sugars described therein are either raw or refined
in every case, whether for entry under the Preferential Tariff or under the
General Tariff.

INLAND FISHERIES OF CANADA
PRIVY COUNCIL JUDGMBNIT AND RESULTS OF CONFERENCE AT
OTTAWA.
A fisheries conference between representatives of Canada and the Provinces
of Ontario and Quebec was held at Ottawa, June 22, 1898. Canada was repre-
sented by the Minister of Marine and Fisheries, Sir Louis Davles, and the Min-
ister of Justice, Mr. Mills ; Ontario, by the Premier and Attorney-General, the
Hon. A. S. Hardy and Mr. Aemllius Irving, Q.C. ; Quebec, by the Hon. P. G.
Marchand, Premier ; the Hon. S. N. Parent, Commissioner of Lands, Forosta
and Fisheries, and the Hon. F. G. M. Dechene, Commissioner of Agriculture.
The latter were assisted by Messrs. Machin, Assistant Treasurer ; Cannon, As-
sistant Attorney-General, and Joncas, a fisheries official.
The question of the ownership of the lakes, rivers and foreshores of the
country, and of the fish therein, and of the right to lease, license and regulate
fiehing privileges and fish, was submitted to the Supreme Court a few years
ago, and the case taken to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, which
announced its findings May 26, 1898. (Reported in the Times, May 27.)
The results of the conference may be summarized : The sole and exclusive
power of making regulations with reference to fishing, the times, seasons, and
manner, belong to the Dominion, and any regulations on the subject affecting
the time for fishing or the manner, made by the provinces are void.
The right heretofore exercised by the Dominion of 'leasing defined areas to
fishermen for pound-net licenses, or salmon stands, or for other fishing pur-
poses. Is ultra vires of the Dominion because it interferes with the jurisdiction
of the provinces, and hereafter these rights will be exercised by the govern-
ments of the respective provinces of Canada. The question as to whether
Ontario and Quebec have any claim against the Dominion for refund of money
already received by the Dominion for these licenses in the way of fees was.
discussed, but no agreement come to. The matter was allowed to stand over
for further consideration, but the department at Ottawa does not admit that
there is any ground whatever for such claim.
Both authorities have the right, for the purposes of revenue, to levy a tax
by waflT of a license fee, the provinces in order to raise a revenue and tha
Dominion under its general taxing power. It was, therefore, agreed that the
Dominion would not grant any further licenses for the year 1898. This refers
chiefly to pound-net licenses and salmon stands. The provincial governments
will confirm and ratify the leases already granted by the Dominion this year.
•Applications which have been already made to the department at Ottawa will
be forwarded to the provincial governments and dealt with by them.
Officers to be appointed for the enforcement of the regulations hereafter to
be made by the Dominion will probably be appointed by the provinces. While
the Dominion will continue to frame regulations for the control of the fisheries,
it will, in all probability, leave the enforcement of these regulations to the pro-
vincial governments, with the exception of Inland waters and lakes of a com-
mercial or international character.
The control of public oyster beds remains in the Dominion, because of the
power to determine the close seasons, but the leasing of private oyster beds for
the propagation of the oyster passes to the provincial governments exclusively.
LEGAL WEIGHTS AND MEASURES
The legal weights and measures of Canada are the Imperial yard, Imperial
pound avoirdupois. Imperial gallon (of 277.27384 cubic inches), and the Imperial
bushel. The Imperial gallon is equal to 4.54174 .litres, while the wine gallon,
used in the United States, is equal to 3.7S5 litres.
By Act 42nd Vic. (1879), Chap. 16 (amended by Cap. 30, Acts of 1898) it is
provided : That in contracts for sale and delivery of any of the under-
mentioned articles the bushel should be determined by weighing, unless a
bushel measure be specially agreed upon, the weight equivalent to a bushel
being as follows :—
Wheat 60 lbs. Castor Beans 40 lbs.
Indian Cottl ! 56 " Potatoes 60 '*
Rye 56 " Turnips / 60 "
Pease 60 " Carrots 60 *'
Barley ^ 48 " Parsnips 60 "

♦Changed from 50 to 56 lbs. by Act of Parliament, 1898. **Changed from 60
to 50 lbs. by Act of Parliament, 1898. ♦•♦Added by Act of 1898.
By the same Act the British hundredweight of 112 pounds and the ton of
2,240 pounds were abolished, and the hundredweight was declared to be 100
pounds and the ton 2,000 pounds avoirdupois, thus assimilating the weights of
Canada and the United States.

DOMINION LIBERAL CONVENTION, 1893
The official report of the Liberal Convention, which met in Ottawa, June 20,
1893, being out of print, the resolutions adopted by the Convention are repro-
duced here as follows :—.
Wc the Liberal Party of Canada, in convention assembled, declare :
1. That the customs tariff of the Dominion should be based, not as it is
now, upon the protective principle, but upon the requirements of the public ser-
vice ; That the existing tariff, founded ui>on an unsound principle, and used, as
it has been by the Government, as a corrupting agency wherewith to keep them-
selves in office, has developed monopolies, trusts and combinations ; It has de-
creased the value of farm and other landed property ; It has oppressed the mass-
es to the enrichment of a few ; It has checked .immigration ; It has caused
gre«t loss of population; It has impeded commerce; It has discriminated against
Great Britain. In these and in many other ways it has occasioned great public
and private injury, all of which evils must continue to grow in intensity as long
as the present tariff system remains in force. That the highest interests of Can-
ada demand a removal of this obstacle to our country's progress, by the adop-
tion of a sound fiscal policy, which, while not doing injustice to any class, wiU
promote domestic and foreign trade, and hasten the return of prosperity to our
people ; That to that end, the tariff should be reduced to the needs of honest,
economical and efficient government ; That it should be so adjusted as to make
free, or to bear as lightly as possible upon, the necessaries of life, and should
be so arranged as to promote freer trade with the whole world, more particu-
larly with Great Britain and the United States. We believe that the ' results of
the protective system have greviously disappointed thousands of persons who
honestly supported it, and that the country, in the light of experience, is now
prepared to declare for a sound fiscal policy. The issue between the two politi-
cal parties on this question is now clearly defined. The Government themselves
admit the failure of their fiscal policy, and now profess their willingness to
make some changes ; but they say that such changes must be based only on
the principle of protection. We denounce the principle of protection as radical-
ly unsound, and unjust to the masses of the people, and we declare our con-
viction that any tariff changes based on that principle must fail to afford any
substantial relief from the burdens under which the country labors. This issue
we unhesitatingly accept, and upon it we await with the fullest confidence the
verdict of the electors of Canada.
2. That, having regard to the prosperity of Canada and the United States
as adjoining countries, with many mutual interests, it is desirable that there
should be the most friendly relations and broad and liberal trade intercourse
between them ; That the interests alike of the Dominion and of the Empire
would be materially advanced by the establishing of such relations ; That the
period of the old reciprocity treaty was one of marked prosperity to the British
North American colonies ; That the pretext under which the Government ap-
pealed to the country in 1891 respecting negotiation for a treaty with the United
States was misleading and dishonest and intended to deceive the electorate ;
That no sincere effort has been made by them to obtain a treaty, but that, on
the contrary, it is manifest that the present Government controlled as they
are by monopolies and combines, are not desirous of securing such a treaty ;
That the first step towards obtaining the end in view, is to place a party in
power who are sincerely desirous of promoting a treaty on terms honorable to
both countries ; That a fair and liberal reciprocity treaty would develop the
great natural resources of Canada, would enormously increase the trade and
commerce between the two countries, would tend to encourage friendly rela-
354 PARWAMBNTARY GUIDB
tions between the two peoples, would remove many pauses which have in the
past provoked irritation and trouble to the Governments of both countries, and
would promote those kindly relations between the Empire and the Republic
which afford the best guarantee for peace and prosperity ; That the Liberal
party is prepared to enter into negotiations with a view to obtaining such a
treaty, includirig a well considered list of manufactured articles, and we are
satisfied that any treaty so arranged will receive the assent of Her Majesty's
Government, without whose approval no treaty can be made.
2. That the Convention deplores the gross corruption in the management
and expenditure of public moneys which for years past has existed under the
rule of the Conservative party, and the revelations of which by the different
parliaraentary committees of inquiry have brought disgrace upon the fair name
of Canada. The Government, .which profited politically by these expenditures of
public moneys of which the people have been defrauded, and which, neverthe-
less, have never punished the guilty parties, must be held responsible for the
wrongdoing. We arraign the Gov'ernment for retaining in office a Minister of
the Crown proved to have accepted -very large contributions of money for •lec-
tion purposes from the funds of a railway company, which, while paying the
political contributions to him, a member of the Government, with one hand, was
receiving Government subsidies with the other. The conduct of the Minister
and the approval of his colleagues after the proof became known to them are
calculated to degrade Canada in the estimation of the world and deserve the
severe condemnation of the people.
4. We cannot but view with alarm the large increase of the public debt and
of the controllable annual expenditure of the Dominion and the conaeauent un-
due taxation of the people under the (Governments that have been continue isly
in power since 1878, and we demand the strictest economy in the adniinistration
of the government of the country.
5. That the Convention regrets that by the action of Ministers and their
supporters in Parliament, in one case in which serious charged were made
against a Minister of the Crown, investigation was altogether refused, while in
another case the charges preferred were altered and then referred to a commis-
sion appointed upon the advice of the Ministry, contrary to the well settled
practice of Parliament; and this Convention affirms : That it is the ancient and
undoubted right of the House of Commons to inquire into all matters of public
expenditure, and into all charges of misconduct in office against Ministers of the
Crown, and the reference of such matters to royal commissions created upon
the advice of the accused is at variance with the due responsibility of Ministers
to the House of Commons, and tends to weaken the authority of the House over
the Executive Government, and this Convention affirms that the powers of the
people's representatives in this regard should on all fitting occasions be upheld.
6. That in the opinion of this Convention the sales of public lands of the
Dominion should be to actual settlers only, and not to speculators, upon rea-
sonable terms of settlement, and in such areas as can be reasonably occulted
and cultivated by the settler.
7. That the Franchise Act since its introduction has cost the Dominion
Treasury over a million of dollars, besides entailing a heavy expenditure ,to
both political parties ; That each revision involves an additional expenditure oh
a further quarter of a million ; That this expenditure has prevented an annual
revision, as originally intended, in the absence of which young voters entitled
to the franchise have, in numerous instances, been prevented from exercising
their natural rights ; That it has failed to secure uniformity, which was the
principal reason assigned for its introduction ; That it has produced gross
abuses by partisan revising barristers appointed by the Government of the day ;
\
DOMINION I<IBBRAI« CONVENT;ON, l8p3 365
That its provisions are less liberal than those already existing tn many Pro-
vinces of the Dominion, and that in the opinion of this Convention the Act-
should be repealed, and we should revert to the Provincial Franchise.
8. That by the Gerrymander Acts, the electoral divisions for the return of
members to the House of Commons have been so made as to prevent a fair
expression of the opinion of the country at the general elections, and to secure
to the party now in power a strength out of all proportion greater than the-'
number of electors supporting them would warrant. To put an end to this
abuse, to make the House of Commons a fair exponent of public, opinion, and
to preserve the historic continuity of counties, it is desirable that in the forma-
tion of electoral divisions, county boundaries should be preserved, and that in
no case parts of different counties should be put in one electoral division.
9. The present constitution of the Senate is inconsistent with the Federal
principle in our system of government, and is in other respects defective, as it
makes the Senate independent of the people and uncontrolled by the public
opinion of the country, and should be so amended as to bring it into harmony
with the principles of popular government.
10. That whereas public attention is at present much directed to the con-'
sideration of the admittedly great evils of intemperance, it is desirable that the
mind of the people should be clearly ascertained on the question of Prohibition
by means of a Dominion plebiscite.
THE ALASKAN BOUNDARY
statement of the Poeitiqii of AfTairs re the Boundary Between Canada and
Alaska. October 1. 1898.
In the year 1867 the Russian possessions in North America passed, by pur-
chase, into the hands of the United States.
The eastern boundary of the purchased territory now known as Alaska had
been defined by a treaty between Great Britain and Russia, entered into at St.
Petersburg in 1825. To this treaty, therefore, we must look for a description of
the boundary between Alaska and the adjoining: territory which comprises the
Province of British Columbia as to the southern portion of the line, and the
Northwest Territories as to the northern.
The Articles of the Treaty at St. Petersburg, which especially deal with the
line of demarcation are Nos. Ill and IV, which read as follows :—
III. The line of demarcation between the possessions of the high contract-
ing parties upon the coast of the continent and the islands of America to the
northwest, shall be drawn in the manner following :—
Commencing from the southernmost point of the island called Prince cf
Wales Island, which point lies in the parallel of 54 degrees, 40 minutes, north
latitude, and between the ISlst and the 133rd degree of west longitude (meri-
dian of Greenwich), the said line shall ascend to the north along the channel
called Portland Channel, as far as the point of the continent, where it strikes
the 56th degree of north latitude ; from this last-mentioned point, the line of
demarcation shall follow the summit of the mountains situated parallel to the
coast, as far as the point of intersection of the 141st degree of west longitude
(of the same meridian) ; and, finally, from the said point of intersection, the
said meridian line of the 141st degi*ee, in its prolongation as far as the frozen
ocean, shall form the limit between the Russian and British possessions on the
continent of America to the northwest.
IV. With reference to the line of demarcation laid down in the preceding
article, it is understood :—
• 1st. That the island called Prince of Wales Island shall belong wholly to
Russia.
2nd. That wherever the summit of the mountains which extend in a direc-
tion parallel to the coast, from the 56th degree of north latitude to the point
of intersection of the 141st degree of west longitude, shall prove to be at the
distance of more than ten marine leagues from the ocean, the limit between
the British possessions and the line of coast which Is to belong to Russia, as
above mehtloned, shall be formed by a line parallel to the windings of the
coast, and which shall never exceed the distance of ten marine leagues there-
from.
The line thus described has not yet been traced out or marked on the
ground. This was not necessary so long as the business of the coast was of a
local character, such as the fur trade, the fisheries, etc., and communication
with the interior was had only by Indians engaged In hunting or Inter-trlbal
trade. In respect of such traffic the high and rugged mountainous region ad-
jacent to the coast was a sulficlent mark without a close definition of summits.
• The development of mining In the Interior has altered the case by directing a
considerable traffic from the sea ports to the Interior water stretches, whence
arises danger of complications in the enforcement of (ustoms regulations, and
in respect of criminal and civil jurisdiction generally.
.-ifeiL:..
THE AI^^SKAN BOUNDARY 357
As an instance of this may be cited a case which occurred so long ago as
1876, on the Stiklne River, which, In the lower part of its course, flows through
United States territory, when a prisoner in charge of a Canadian constable
assaulted him and made his escape. Being afterwards recaptured and tried In
Victoria for the assault, he pleaded that the assault was committed in United
States territory. This directed attention to the boundary question, and, in 1877,
Mr. Joseph Hunter, on behalf of the Canadian Government, made a survey of
the lower Stikine and made a provisional determination, pending the final set-
tlement by an international commission, of the point where the boundary line,
under the treaty, should cross the river.
Later on, the discovery of rich placers near the point where the 141st meri-
dian crossed the Yukon River, at Forty-Mile and Sixty-Mile Creeks, rendered
necessary Mr. Ogilvie's provisional survey in that region, and at the present
time much attention is being directed to the question of the undetermlnteH
boundary at Lynn Canal, with reference to the routes thence to the Yukon—
Ohilkoot and White Passes and the Dalton Trail from Chilkat Inlet.
For an understanding of the questions involved in the determination of the
boundary line at these places, as well as along the whole extent of the con-
tiguous territory of Canada and the United States in the north, it may be well
to point out that the boundary line defined by the treaty is naturally divided
into two parts, to be determined according to different principles. The firstj
part extends from the southernmost point of Prince of Wales Island to a cer-
tain point of the continent, thence along the summit of the mountains to the
141st meridian, subject to the proviso of Article IV of the Treaty of St. Peters-
burg. This is a boundary which is to be laid down according to natural fea-
tures and without dependence upon latitude or longitude, except as to its ter-
minal point, 141 deg. west longitude. The second part is a meridian of longi-
tude, not depending in any way upon natural features, but to ba laid down by
scientific processes of astronomy and land surveying.
To begin with the second part, there is, with regard to it, no possibility of
dispute as to the meaning of the treaty. It should be the meridian of 141 deg.
longitude west from Greenwich. The only difficulty is the practical one of lay-
ing down this longitude line with the precision necessary. The usual method
of laying down such a line is to fix one point of it by astronomical observa-
tions for longitude, and thence to produce the meridian line north and south
with the transit theodolite. Observations for longitude are needed at but one
point, except in the event of the interruption of the line surveying by moun-
tains or other insuperable obstacles. Astronomical observations of another
kind are, however, taken at frequent Intervals along the survey to check its
direction and hold It to its accurate north and south course, and points can thus
be laid down in the same longitude as the initial astronomical station with
greater precision than the absolute longitude of the latter can be determined.
The determination of the longitude of a point consists In the determination
of the difference of local time between it and Greenwich or some other point
whose difference of time from Greenwich Is already known. The process con-
sists In determining the local time at the place by sfctronomical observation,
and then comparing this time with the local time at Greenwich or other stan-
dard station. The readiest mode of comparing the times of two stations Is the
exchange of signals by the electric telegraph where this is available, and this
method is the most accurate known. But where) the telegraph Is not available,
other means must be resorted to, such as the carrying of chronometers or the
noting at each station of the Instant of some visible occurrence, such as a flash
of gunpowder (only avatlable, of course, at short distances), an eclipse of thf
358 PARI^IAMENTARY GUIDB
sun or moon or of a satellite of Jupiter, or the occultation of a star by the
passage over it of the moon's disk. The chronometric method is probal)ly the
next In accuracy to that by telegraph, but it is not available inland where the
chronometers are liable to rough usage in carriage. The readiest method in
such a case as that under consideration, far inland and away from the tele-
graphs, is the method by transits of the moon. This method is, in principle,
the same as the direct method of exchange of time by signals, but that the
moon serves at the same time as the pignjil 0Dser«7»,«d and as a record of the
Greenwich time. The observer determines his local lime, and at th« »ame time
determines the position of the moon in the heavtns vith reference to ihe stars.
The fixed stars have an apparent motion in the sky from east to west, due to
the diurnal revolution of the earth, but retain their apparent positions rela-
tive to each other. The moon, while partaking with the stars in the apparent
diurnal motion, has at the same time a monthly rotation of its own about the
earth, by which it travels from west to east, continually changing its plao^
with regard to the stars, making a complete circuit of the sidereal heavens in
rather more than twenty-seven days. Now the movement of the moon in its
orbit depends upon the known attractions of the sun, earth and planets, and its
path among the stars can be computed beforehand, and is so computed for ^
number of years ahead and its position for each hour of every day is tabulated
in the various nautical almanacs. Hence the observer who finds that the moon
was in a certain place at a certain instant of his own local time, has but to
refer to his almanac to find the Greenwich time at which the moon should be
in that place. A direct comparison of the local time with the Greenwich lime
is thus obtained. The difference is his longitude. The accuracy of the lunar
method is less than that of the direct method by signals, for while an error of,
say, a quarter of a second in estimating the time of the electric tap, or the
flash of the artificial signal, makes an error of one-quarter of a second in the
difference of time, and therefore in the longitude ; an error of one-quarter of a
second in determining the moon's position, i.e., if the moon's time of transit
over the observer's meridian is noted one-quarter of a second too soon or too.
late, the error in the longitude will be twenty-seven times as great, i.e., nearly
seven seconds, for the moon, making the circuit of the stars in 27 days, has a
motion relative to the stars one-twenty-seventh of their apparent diurnal mo-
tion, by which the astronomer determines his time.
By lunar observations, Mr. Ogilvie, on behalf of the Canadian Government,
in the winter of 1887-88, determined a point on the Yukon River in longitude
141 deg. The place was visited in 1889 by Mr. McGrath, of the U. S. Coast and
Geodetic Survey, who also, during two winters, took a number of lunar obser-
vations. His result is reported to agree with Mr. Ogilvie 's within about 610
feet, which is equivalent to rather more than nine-tenths of a second of
longitude.
In view of the fact stated above, that an error in the moon's place Is multi-
plied by 27 in the longitude, the accordance is very close. Of course, the result
given by each observer does not depend upon a single observation, but upon
many, and the accidental errors of individual observations by a well-known
law tends to correct one another in the mean of the individual results.
In the same years, 1889 to 1891, Mr. Turner, of the U. S. Coast and Geo-
detic Survey, determined the point where the 141st meridian crosses the Porcu-
pine River. No Canadian observer has yet visited this point.
The mining population of the Yukon District increasing as the news of the
rich deposits spread, Inspector Constantino, of the North- West Mounted Police,
accompanied by Sergeant Brown, was sent in 1894 to ascertain the facts in the
THB AI^ASKAN ]W>PNDARY 359
case, and the best means of making efficient provision for the enforcement of
law in the district and the protection of the revenue. The necessity of ac-
tion in this regard becoming apparent, a force of Mounted Police was sent to
the district in the following year (1895). The greater part of the mining being
at the time on the tributaries of Forty-Mile and Sixty-Mile Creeks, close to the
141st meridian, it became necessary for the purpose of administration that a
definition of the line in this neighborhood should be had. This work was en-
trusted to Mr. Ogilvie, who returned to the Yukon in the summer of 1895, un-
der instructions to perform also such surveying as might be necessary in con-
nection with mining and land claims. In the following winter Mr. Ogilvie sur-
veyed and marked out the meridian for about five miles north from his astro-
nomical station of 1887-88 on the Yukon River and fifty-five miles south from it
to a point near Sixty-Mile Creek, an extent of line sufficient for existing re-
quirements. At the time Mr. Ogilvie was sent out, the United States Govern-
ment had been asked to co-operate in the survey, so as to make the resulting
determination final for international purposes, as Mr. Ogilvie' s work, withotit
such international agreement, would, of course be merely provisional, as was
Mr. Hunter's work on the Stikine. The United States Government, however,
declined to co-operate at the time, expressing a preference for a joint survey of
the whole of the 141st meridian. A convention accordingly, providing for a joint
siirvey of the line from the mountains overlooking the Pacific to the Arctic
Ocean^ was agreed to in January, 1897, by Her Majesty's Ambassador at Wash-
ington and the Secretary of State of th.e United States, and was submitted to
the United States Senate for ratification. The Senate, however, has not yet
ratified the convention, and the matter is at a standstill. No portion, of the line
has been surveyed other than that surveyed by Mr. Ogllvfe, as above stated, in
the winter of 1895-1896.
The other portion of the Alaska boundary, that between the southernmost
point of Prince of Wales Island and the 141st meridian, remains to be dis-
cussed. We have not now to deal with a line depending upon latitude or longi-
tude which can be laid down by scientific processes, with a degree of pre-
cision only limited by the care taken and the time expended upon the work..
The location of this boundary depends upon natural features as described in a
written instrument, and cannot be established so long as any difPerences of in-
terpretation of the treaty remain unsettled. Very wide differences do in fa^t
exist, and while it is not possible, at the present stage of the negotiations be-
tween the Governments, to present fully here various arguments which have
been set up on behalf of divergent views, it is proposed to state briefly the main
points upon which controversy may turn when the claims which may be formu-
lated by the Governments come before a tribunal for adjudication.
It may be premised that the question is somewhat complicated by the fact
that the United States are in actual occupation of the coast ; settlements have
been formed by their citizens on debatable territory, and their ofilcials have, in
some instances, pushed their jurisdiction to the farthest limit which the United
States could claim under an extreme interpretation of the treaty.
The point of commencement of the boundary by treaty is the southernmost
point of Prince of Wales Island. There seems no difficulty in identifying this
island from the recorded latitude and longitude of its southernmost point with
the assistance of the charts in existence at the time of the treaty negotiations.
An exploration of the coast and the adjacent archipelago had been made by
Captain Vancouver, 1793 and 1794, and his charts have been proved by recent
surveys to be remarkably accurate as to the principal natural features. The
wide range of longitude, 131 deg. to 133 deg., is given to include the two south-
360 PARtlAMEjnTARY GUIDE
em promonotorles called by Vancouver Capes Muzon and Chacon, both of -whicli
lie nearly in latitude 54 deg., 40 min.' but until recently it waa pot known that
Muzon extends a little further south than Chacon. Vancouver did not explore
the archipelago sufficiently to ascertain all the channels among the islands, and
on his chart he shows a mass of land terminating in the two capes above
named, and calls it Prince of Wales " archipelago." Later surveys slio^v that
this conjecture is in accordance with the facts, and that there are several
islands, including two principal ones, the smaller and more westerly of which.
now known as Dall Island, terminates in Cape Muzon, while the large Island
retains the name Prince of Wales. This island is to be distinguished from
"Wales" Island, situated aFthe entrance to Portland Inlet.
From the point of commencement the line " shall ascend to the north
along the channel called Portland Channel, as far as the point of the continent
where it strikes the 56th degree of north latitude." The question here arises as
to whether Portland " Channel " is to be identified with Vancouver's Portland
" Canal." The difficulties are that the entrance to Portland Canal lies some
fifty miles nearly due east from Capa Chacon on Prince of Wales Island and
eighty miles fronf Cape Muzon, so that whichever of these capes is taken as the
point of beginning, the line must pass over a long stretch of sea before it be-
gins to appreciably " ascend to the north," and during this part of its course
it is not following along a " channel " at all. Again, Portland Canal does not
reach the 56th degree of north latitude at all. Vancouver's chart places i€s
northern extremity in latitude 55 deg.,' 45 min., or seventeen and a half statute
miles south of the 56th parallel. Recent surveys show that it extends further
north than Vancouver's position, but still it does not reach the parallel. On
the other hand, no channel, strait or inlet appears on the maps of the time of
the treaty under the name of Portland, except Vancouver's Portland Canal,
The alternative course up Clarence Strait, terminating either at the head of
Behm's Canal or on the mainland shore in Ernest Sound would be more con-
sistent than the other with the direction to " ascend to the north along the
channel," but the adoption of this course would seem to be tantamount to
striking out of the treaty the words " called Portland Channel."
On the decision as to which of these courses is to be followed depends the
ownership of a piece of continental territory about 3,000 square miles in area,
and of many islands, comprising the large island called Revillagigedo Island
and the Annette Island group, and containing in all an area of about l,50Ci
square miles. These islands, as well as the mainland shore, are of importance
on account of their fisheries, there being several canneries and fish curing os-
tablishments. Mining has received but little attention in this region, but it is
probable that valuable minerals will be found both on the islands and the
mainland.
Northward from the 56th degree of north latitude the line is to " follow the
summit of the mountains situated parallel to the coast, as far as the point of
intersection of the 141st degree of west longitude," subject to the condition in
Article IV of the treaty, that wherever the summit shall prove to be more than
ten marine leagues (30 geographical miles, or about 34J statutory miles) from
the ocean, the boundary shall be formed by a line parallel to the windings of
the coast, and never more than ten marine leagues therefrom. To fully under-
stand these provisions topographical information is required, which can only be
procured by actual survey, and in 1892, by convention, the United States and
Great Britain agreed " that a coincident or joint survey (as may be found in
practice most convenient) shall be made of the territory adjacent to that part
of the boundary line of the Unitod States and the Dominion of Canada divlAiOg
THE AI.ASKAN BOUNDARY 361
the territory of Alaska from the Province of British Columbia and the North-
'West Territory of Canada, from the latitude of 54 deg., 40 min. north, to the
point where the said boundary line encounters the 14l8t degree of longitiide
'nvestward from the meridian of Greenwich, by Commissioners to be appointed
severally by the High Contracting Parties, with a view to the ascertainment oi
the facts and data necessary to the permanent delimitation of said boundary
line, in accordance with the spirit and intent of the existing treaties in regarC
to it between Great Britain and Rvssia and the United States and Russia."
The Commissioners appointed under this convention carried on their sur-
veys in 1893, 1894 and 1895, and, on the 31st December, 1895, rendered a joint
report of their operations, with which they submitted topographical maps show-
ing the natural features of the country from the shores of the mainland back
to the high mountains which form the watershed separating the smaller streams
flowing into the Pacific from the waters of the Yukon and the upper tributaries
of the large streams, such as the Unuk, Stikine, Taku, Chilkat and AlS9k,
"Which rise in the Interior and cut through the mountains in their course to the
sea. The maps show in detail the contours of the mountains which lie between
the high range mentioned and the shore, so that from them can be selected the
mountain summits required by the treaty. The high watershed mountains
above referred to lie on an average about fifteen miles from the coast of the
continent, and the mountains nearest the coast frequently rise abruptly from
the sea, with their summits not more than two or three miles from it. The
interruption of the regular succession of these last by valleys and ravines has,
in some quarters led to the idea that the boundary line of the treaty is imprac-
ticable, and it has been rather absurdly imagined that the negotiators of the
treaty of St. Petersburg, supposed that this mountain range, unlike any other
mountain range In the world, presented aH uninterrupted knife-like rldt^
throughout its whole extent. On this notion of impracticability of determina-
tion and survey of the treaty line has been based a contention that the whole
boundary must be traced parallel to the windings of the coast and ten marine
leagues from it, thus receding to the extreme limit set by the treaty. Such &•
line again has been pronounced impracticable and a suggestion has been made
of an alteration in the treaty to provide for a rectification of the frontier by a
system of straight lines drawn between points to be established on the main
routes to the interior in such a manner as to cut off an area equal to that
which the United States Is entitled to under the treaty.
An informal discussion of this last proposition took place between officers of
the United States and Canadian Governments in 1888. In this discussion the
difficulty became apparent of deciding what area each country was entitled to,
and this could not be determined without a survey. At the same time It was
evident that with a survey Che necessity of adopting a system; of straight lines
to replace t"he natural boundary, would cease ; a natural boundary, especially
when it follows the summit of mountains, usually above the timber line, where
it is forever unlikely that any settlements will be made or interests clash, is
far preferable as a dividing line to any system of straight lines, which, more-
over, would be difRcult and expensive to lay out and mark in the first place and
to maintain in the future, and the sole advantage of a survey in relation to the
proposition of a compromise boundary would be to enable another natural
boundary to be substituted for that of the treaty, should the survey show that
to be impracticable. However, now that the survey has been made, it Is be-
lieved that the information available is sufficient for the purpose of tracing out
a boundary in accordance with the terras of the treaty.
In connection with this part of the boundary a question arises as to t
362 PARUAMENXAKY QUIDE
meaning of " doast " in the treaty. In Article III, tbe boundary line is to fol-
low the Bummit of the mountains situated parallel to the coast, and Article IV
provides that wherever these mountains are more than ten marine lea^^urs
from the ocean, the line shall be drawn parallel to the coast and at a distance
not exceeding ten marine leagues therefrom. (There are three ways in which
the word " coast " in these articles could be understood. First, the '* coast "
being the border of the " ocean " by Article IV, the " ocean " might mean the
" high seas," not including any land-locked water or channel which is less
than six marine miles wide, in accordance with the rule that the sea for a dis-
tance of three miles from land is territorial water. The " coast *' then would
be the coast of the archipelago which, from below latitude 56 deg. to Cape
Spencer, in latitude 58 deg., 15 min., fringes the continent, and the islands of
which are separated from one another, and from the mainland by channels in
many places less than six miles wide. It is to be remarked that this coast line
would be almost everywhere more than ten marine leagues from the mainland,
^econd : The line of coast may be the shore line of the salt water running up
and down the inlets which penetrate the mainland. Third : The line of coast
may be the general coast line of the continent without reference to Ihe islands,
and those inlets which are less than six miles wide at their mouths may hi?
considered territorial or inland waters, so that the coast line crosses their
mouths from headland to headland, and the line of the summits of the moun-
tains behind can be followed as if the inlets were rivers.
The mainland from opposite Prince of Wales Island to Gape Spencer is in-
dented by numerous inlets, cutting through the mountain range adjacent to the
shore and extending to the lower slopes of the great watershed range behind.
These inlets are all less than six miles wide, with the exception of Lynn Canal,
twhich, while more than six miles wide at its entrance, narrows to less than
six miles about twenty-five miles from its mouth, near Point Bridget, the south-
erly headland of Berner's Bay. From Berner's Bay northward the Canal be-
comes gradually narrower until, at Seduction Point, about twenty-eight miles
from the first narrowing of the Canal, it separates into two inlets, which still
retain, with slight divergence, the general northerly direction of Lynn Canal.
These inlets are Chilkat Inlet to the west, 10 miles long, and Chilkoot Inlet,
with its continuation of Taiya or Dyea Inlet to the east, 25 miles long. Hence,
considering the coast line to be at Point Bridget, a line from summit to sunmiit
of the nearest mountains inland therefrom, would (since Lynn Canal is, along
its whole length, bordered by mountains 5,000 to 6,000 feet high) place the
whole of the upper part of the Canal in Canada. Or, again, a line parallel to
this coast line and ten marine leagues from it will barely more than reach
Seduction Point and will cut off nearly the whole length of both Chilkat and
Chilkoot Inlets. On the other hand, if the shore line of the inlets is the
" coast," all Lynn Canal, with Chilkat and Taiya Inlets, and -the landing
places for several much-used routets to the Yukon, namely Dyea and "White
Passes, at the head of Chilkoot, and the Dalton Trail, at the head of Chilkat
Inlet, will belong to the United States, and the points where the boundary
crosses these trails will have to be determined by the summits of the moun-
tains parallel to the shores of the inlets.
Whatever definition of " coast " may be adopted, it is evident that an early
definition of the boundary in this quarter at least is much to be desired in the
.xiterests of all parties.
West of Cape Spencer the character of the coast is in many respects differ-
ent from that to the east and south of the Cape. It is broken by comparatively
few inlets ; the archipelago comes to an end and the mountains rise abruptly
THE AXASKAN BOUNDARY 363
clcHse behind to the coast, in the mussive Fairweather Range and Mt. St. Ellas
Alps, which rise to heights much exceeding the mountains further east. The
culminating point in Mount St. Elias, two and a half miles from the 141st meri-
dian and over 18,000 feet above the sea.
In conclusion, it Is hoped that a speedy settlement of this boundary ques-
tion may be reached. It is now a quarter of a century since the Government of
British Columbia first directed attention to the desirability of avoiding inter-
national disputes and friction by the demarcation of the boundary. The Do-
minion Government has several times pressed the Government of the Unitied
States to take action in the matter, but exaggerated estimates of the cost of
survey, especially of the coast strip, have induced hesitation to embark in such
an undertaking. It was estimated that the cost to each country would amount
to $1,500,000 at least, and that for a modified scheme, not the whole of the line
defined by the treaty. The joint surveys made in 1893 to 1895 under the conven-
tion of 1892 have shown that the difficulties were over-estimated. The cost of
feurvey and demarcation need not be greater, nor indeed with improved modern
methods, so much, as the cost has been of laying down many parts of the
boundary line of Canada and the United States from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
By the la^t paragraph of Article I of the Convention of 1892, the " High Con-
tracting Parties agree that, as soon as practicable after the report, or reports,
of the Commissioners shall have been received, they will proceed to consider
and establish the boundary line in question."

RESOLUTIONS PASSED.
1. That in the opinion of this Congress differences or disputes arising between
different governments, which cannot be adjusted by diplomatic agency, should,
as far as possible, be referred to arbitration.
2. That in th^ cpinion of this Congress the laws relating to Bills of Ex-
change should be made uniform in the British Empire, also that uniformity
with the laws of Continental Powers should, wherever practicable, be eetab-
lish»d internationally.
3. That this Congress expresses strong disapproval of the method adopted
in bills of lading of inserting clauses contracting shipowners practically out of
all liability, and requests the London Chamber of Commerce to arrange confer-
ences with shipowners in order to eliminate these clauses, or failing such con-
ferences, that steps be taken by the associations forming the Congress to intro-
duce bills into the respective parliaments defining the liabilities of shipowners.
4. That this Congress desires to express its satisfaction at the steady pro-
gress which has been made in advancing the principle of conciliation and arbi-
tration in labor disputes and avoidance thereby, in many Instances, of the dis-
astrous effects of strikes and lockouts, and pledges itself to use Its utmost en-
deavors to promote the extension of the movement throughout the Empire.
5. That the Bills of Exchange Act of 1882. the Partnership Act of 1890 and
the Sale of Goods Act of 1893 and other consolidating statutes having estab-
lished the practicability and benefit of codifying British commercial law. It Is
BHiPIRE EVENTS 365
highly expedient that the commercial law of the whole British Empire should
now be embodied in a code ? and that, therefore, government be memoralized
by the Congress Uo initiate the steps necessary in order to the appointment for
the purpose of drafting such a code, of a commission on which the United King-
dom and all the colonies and countries embraced in the Empire should be duly
represented.
6. That as a first step towards Imperial Federation it is desirable that a
consultative imperial council should be formed, whose members for the time
being should be resident in the United Kingdom ; that the council should be
called together in the cases where the general interests of the colonies repre-
sented are affected in blatters of trade, finance or imperial defence ; that this
council should consist of members elected by every self-governing colony in the
same adequate and relative proportion to its electorate, and that its functions
should be purely consultative ; that the Crown Colonies should also be repre-
sented on this council.
7. That the law of copyright should be uniform throughtout the Empire.
8. Whereas the British system of weights and measures which vary con-
stantly in every part of the British Empire, is a source of constant annoyance,
loss of time and a formidable obstacle to local, imperial and foreign trade; and
whereas the metric system has now been universally recognized as the most «
perfect decimal system and is generally adopted by nations of both continents
with the exception of the British Empire and the United States of America ; be
it resolved that the metric system of weights and measuree be adopted without
further delay by the several governments of the Empire, the yard being ex-
tended to the metre, the quart to the litre and the two-pound weight to the
kilogramme.
9. That this Congress views with regret the movement of the surplus popu-
lation of Great Britain to foreign lands, thus drawing from the strength of the
Empire ; that this Congress looks upon such a tendency as not only wasteful of
the vitality of the Empire but altogether unnecessary, seeing that the British
colonies and dependencies offer fields for emigration as attractive as, if not
more attractive than, can be foUnd in any foreign country ; that within the
bounds of the British Umpire the emigrant can find any variety of climate and
reach success in any pursuit and yet retain all the privileges of a British sub-
ject ; therefore, this Congress deems it the duty of the Imperial and Colonial
Governments, as well as of all patriotic citizens of the Empire, to use every
• means available to encourage emigration to the colonies.
10. That this Congress of Chambers of .Commerce of the Empire is of
opinion that the establishment of closer commercial relations between the
United Kingdom and the colonies and dependencies is an object which deserves
and demands prompt and careful consideration ; the Congress, therefore, re-
spectfully represents to" Her Majesty's Government that If the suggestion should
be made on behalf of the colonies or some of them, it would be right and ex-
pedient to promote such consideration and the formation of some practical plan,
by summoning an Imperial Conference thoroughly representative of the inter-
ests involved and by such other means as Her Majesty may be advised to adopt;
that copies of this resolution be forwarded to the President, to the Prime Min-
ister, the First Lord of the Treasury, the Secretary of State for the Colonies,
the leaders of the Opposition in both Houses, the High Commissioner of Can-
ada, and the Agents-General for the other colonies.
11. Whereas an extension of direct telegraphic communication throughout
the Empire would considerably facilitate and increase the commercial • relations
of the mother country and her several colonies and be also a source of se-
curity and strength In maintaining uninterrupted hourly communication in the
366 PAJII^IAMENTARY G0IDK
time of war ; and whereas tb)» Atlaolte and Canadian systema now extending
to tbe Paciile eoaa|. oftec special advantages over 'all other routes, to establish
dtrtset tstogmiAic communication, & cable should be laid between AustraU* and
(^nada without further delay, the Imperial and Colonial Oovemments directly
interes^d being r^espectfully requested to offer such inducements to the con-
structing company as may determine the laying of the Pacific cable at tbe
earliest possible moment.
12. That the levying of light dues on shipping should be abolished and that
the cost of maintaining the lighthouses, beacons, buoys, etc., on the coasts of
the United Kingdom should in future be a charge upon the Consolidated Fund.
13. That in view of the difficulties correspondents experience in prepaying
closed replies to letters sent to foreign countries and especially the British
coloDies and dependencies (a facility which exists in regard to open postcards
and telegrams) the Council be requested on behalf of the Congress to communi-
cate with the Imperial and Colonial postal authorities for the purpose of re-
commending (a) that the reply letter card (used by France and Ceylon for in-
land correspondence) be adopted by the British Imperial Foetal Service as a
means of facilitating and increasing intercourse through the British Empire,
(b) that the reply letter card is applicable to international communication in
the same way as the open reply postal card and that the recent objections to
it can be met, (c) that at the Postal Union Congress to be held in Washington
in 1897, the British and Colonial Postmasters-General be requested to take
steps for the extension of the reply-letter card to International Postage as an
efficient substitute for the oft-proposed International Postage stamp and less
open to the objections raised on the ground of the financial difficulty involved.
2nd Resolution :— Whereas a reduction in postal rates would facilitate and
increase the commercial relations of the mother country and her many colonies
and possessions ; and whereas the local rates of the several colonies most ne-
cessarily vary according to their special conditions of territory, population and
transport, this Congress recommends that the British penny should carry postal
matter from Great Britain and Ireland to every British colony and that in re-
turn each Colonial Government should also carry postal matter at its present
provincial rate to every portion of the Empire.
16. That inasmuch as the system of sound signals for use in fog, proposed
at the Washington Conference, has been condemned as dangerous and useless
by all classes directly responsible for the safety of the mercantile marine of
this country and by the shipping Interests In many other countries it is ex-*
pedient that the British Government should endeavor to secure the consent of
all the foreign powers to the withdrawal of the proposed new signal sounds.
COLONIAL CONFERENCE, 1898
A Parliamentary paper was published August 25, 1898, containing a memor-
andum on the " proceedings of a conference between the Secretary of State for
the Colonies and the Premiers of the self-goVeming colonies, at the Colonial
Office; London, June and July, 1897." The memorandum is introduced by the
f<^lowing despatch from Mr. Chamberlain to Governor^General the Earl of Aber-
deen (Canada) :•—
Downing Street, August 13.
My Lord,— In my despatch of January 28 last, conveying to the Premiers of
the self-governing colonies the invitation to be present at, and take part in, the
celebration of the 60th anniversary of Her Majesty'* accession, I intimated to
you the hope of Her Majesty's Government that their presence here might af-
ford a valuable opportunity for the informal discussion of many subjects of
great interest to the Empire. I have now the honor to enclose for your infor-
mation a memorandum showing how that hope was fully realized, rfnd giving
an account of the business transacted.
Her Majesty's Government desire to put on record their strong sense of the
loyal and patriotic spirit which was -shown by all the representatives of the
colonies in the course of their discussions.
They are well aware that many of them came here at considerable sacrifice
of personal convenience, but they hope that their colonial colleagues are satis-
fied that their visit has been productive of great advantage to the Empire, and
that the conferences which have been»held have resulted in such a free inter-
change of views as will have a lasting and beneficial effect in securing a com-
plete mutual understanding between the colonies and the mother country.
I have, etc.,
J. CHAMBERLAIN.*
Simillar despatches were addressed to the Governors of New South Wales,
Victoria, New Zealand, Queensland, Cape of Good Hope, South Australia and
Natal. The memorandum is as follows :—
On Thursday, June 24, the Prime Ministers of Canada, New South Wales,
Victoria, New Zealand, Queensland, Cape Colony, South Australia, Newfound-
land, Tasmania, Western Australia and Natal assembled at the Colonial Ofllce,
Downing street, for the discussion of certain Imperial questions with the Sec-
rotary of State for the Colonies. It was decided that the proceedings should be
informal, and that the general results only be published. With the view of
giving a definite direction to the discussion, the Secretary of State, in open-
ing the proceedings, set forth the subjects which he considered might usefully
be discussed, so as to secure an interchange of views upon them, and, where
they were ripe for a statement of opinion, a definite resolution in regard to
them, in the following speech :—
• V.^.'
MR. CHAMBERLAIN'S SPEECH
I have made arrangemente for a full shorthand report of all our proceed-
ings, which will be confidential, unless we otherwise desire, but copies, of
course, will be furnished to every gentleman for reference, and possibly, later
on, if we come to any conclusions, we may consider further whether it is de-
sirable or not that any public statement should be made. In the meantime,
until we come to a united conclusion upon the subject, the proceedings will be
treated as absolutely confidential.
I desire at the outset of these proceedings to ofCer to you, on behalf of Her
Majesty's Government, a hearty and cordial welcome. You will have seen in
your short visit to this country that all parties, and all classes, are animated
by the most affectionate feelings of regard towards our colonial fellow subjects.
I think that you may also feel that the main object of your visit has already
been to a great extent accomplished. The great pageant to which you con-
tributed so interesting a feature, has shown to this country, to the colonies,
and to all the world, the strength, the power, the resources, and the loyalty of
the British Empire. It was, I think we shall all agree, a most remarkable and
absolutely unparalleled demonstration of personal loyalty to a Sovereign and- of
the essential unity of the Empire.
Her Majesty's Government, while very anxious to take this opportunity of
an interchange of views with you on many matters of common interest, have
carefully avoided suggesting anything in the nature of a formal con-
ference. We do so, in the first place, because we do not wish to de-
tract in any way from the personal character ^of this visit, and also
because we do not desire to take advantage of your presence to force upon you
discussions on which you might be unwilling at this moment to enter. On the
other hand, we are open to consider in the most friendly and the most favor-
able way any representations which may be made to us by the representatives
of the self-governing colonies, having regard to the present or the future rela-
tions between the different parts of the Empire, arid in this respect we are in
the position of those who desire rather to learn your views than to press ours
upon you. I might, I think, upon this sit down and invite your opinions, but
it has been suggested to me, and it seems reasonable to suppose, that it might
be convenient to you at this, our preliminary meeting, if I were to state, as
briefly as I can, the subjects which appear to us to be most worthy of our
joint consideration, and then it will be for you to say whether these subjects,
or any of them, are such as you would like to consider more formally and in
detail, in which case I hope we may arrange for subsequent interviews with
that object ; but to-day I will state for your consideration a list of subjects, and
I will ask you to give me your views as to the way in which they should sub-
sequently be dealt with.
POLITICAL RELATIONS.
Now, gentlemen, undoubtedly the greatest, the most important and at the
same time the most difficult of all the subjects which we could consider is the
question of the future relations, politically and commercial, between the self-
governing colonies and the United Kingdom. I do not think it is necessary
for me to argue at all upon the advantages of such closer union. Strong as is
the bond of sentiment and impossible as it would be to establish any kind fit
relations unless that bond of sentiment existed, I believe we all feel that it
would be desirable to take advantage of it and to still further tighten the ties
which bind us together. In this country, at all events, I may truly say that
EMPIRK EVENTS 369
tlae idea of federation is in the air. Wliether with you it has gone so far is for
you to say, and it is also for you to consider whether we can give any practi-
cal application to the principle. It may be well that the time is hardly ripe for
anything definite in this regard. It is quite true that our own constitution and
your constitutions have all been the subject of very slow growth, and that they
are all the stronger because they have been gradually consolidated, and so,
perhaps, with Imperial Federation ; if it is ever to be accomplished it will bo
only after the lapse of a considerable time and only by gradual steps.
And undoubtedly one of those steps, to which we must all attach very great
importance, is the grouping of the colonies. We rejoice in this country that
Canada has already shown the way, with results which every one has seen have
conduced greatly to her strength and to her prosperity. We observe with the
most lively interest the proceedings which are taking place in Australia with
the same view. We know that in South African politics the same idea has
bulked very largely in the past, and probably will come to the front again. In
regard to all these matters it is not for us to offer advice ; it is not for us to
press upon you in any shape our interference or our assistance. If it be possible
for us in any way to help you to give effect to your own desires, I need not
say that we are entirely at your service ; but in the meanwhile I can assure
you, on behalf, I am sure, of the people of this country, that we most heartily
wish success to your efforts, believing, as I have said, that it will in your case,
as it has already done in the case of Canada, conduce to your prosperity and
to your power. But as regards the larger question and anything in the nature
of a federation of the Empire, the subject seems to me to depend entirely upon
the feeling which exists in the colonies themselves. Here you will be met half
way. The question is whether up to the present time there is such a genuine
popular demand for closer union as would justify us in considering practical
proposals to give it shape.
I feel that there is a real necessity for some better machinery of consulta-
tion between the self-governing colonies and the mother country, and it has
sometimes struck me—I offer it now merely as a personal suggestion— that it
niight be feasible to create a great council of the Empire, to which the colonies
would send representative plenipotentiaries— not mere delegates who were un-
able to speak in their name without further reference to their respective gov-
ernments, but persons who, by their positions in the colonies, by their repre-
sentative character, and by their close touch with colonial feeling would be
able, upon all subjects submitted to them, to give really effective and valuable
advice. If such a council were to be created it would at once assume an im-
mense importance, and it is perfectly evident that it might develop into some-
thing still greater. It might slowly grow to that Federal Council to which we
must always look forward as our ultimate ideal.
And to a council of this kind would be committed, in the first instance, the
discussion of all minor subject* of common interest, and their opinion would be
taken and would weigh most materially in the balance, before any decision
were come to either by this country or by the Legislatures of the several col-
onies in regard to such matters.
A CLOSER UNION.
There Is only one point in reference to this which it is absolutely necessary
that we all should bear in mind. It may be that the time has come, and if not
I believe it will come, when the colonies will desire to substitute for the slight
relationship which at present exists a true partnership, and in that case they
will want their share in the management of the Empire which we like to think
370 PARWAMBNTARY GUIDE
is as much theirs as It Is ours. But, of course, with the privilege of manage-
ment and of control will also come the obligation and the responsibility. There
will come some form of contribution towards the expense for objects which we
shall have in common. That, I say, is self-evident, but it is to be borne in
mind even in these early stages of the consideration of the subject.
Now, gentlemen, in connection with this subject we have already made a
small advance, upon which I congratulate myself, since it was accomplished
during my term of office, though it was prepared by my predecessors ; and it
may have in the future important results. The Judicial Committee of the
Privy Council is the great Judicial Court of Appeal of the Empire. It is a body
of almost universal and worldwide reputation and authority, and it is our de-
sire naturally, in pursuit of the ideas which I am venturing to put before you,
to increase its authority, if that be possible, and to give it a more representa-
tive character, and with that view we have most gladly secured the appointment
as Privy Councillors of distinguished Judges from the Courts of Canada, of
Australia, and of South Africa, and they now will take their seats on equal
terms with the other members of a Judical Committee. Well, gentlemen, that
is a good beginning, but I do not think that you can feel at present the ar-
rangement is on a permanent footing. There are objections to the present sys-
tem which will present themselves to every mind. The Judges who have been
chosen have hitherto been judges who are still in active practice. That at the
outset raises a considerable difficulty. It will be diffi3ult for these Judges, even
if it were consistent with our general idea of what is right, to take part in ap-
peals in regard to cases upon which they have already decided. And another
difficulty is that by the necessity of their position the greater part of their
time will be spent in the colonies from which they come. They will only be
here for indefinite periods, and, as it were, on casual occasions. It is impossible
to arrange the business of the Privy Council or to delay the suitors to meet
their convenience, and the result of that is that, though they would sit as
Judges of the Privy Council, it may very often happen that they would not be
present or be able to serve precisely on the occasions on which they might be
most useful. Now, all that could be altered by the colonies themselves, and
this is one of the subjects which I recommend to your attention. If these
gentlemen were appointed solely and entirely for the purpose of representing
the groups of colonies on the Privy Council they could reside permanently in
this country, and not being themselves actively engaged in Judicial work at
home, they could sit and assist the Privy Council in all cases in which their
respective colonies were engaged ; and I think this would go very far fco
strengthen the position of the Privy Council, and at the same time to give to
all the colonies a security that Justice would be done when they appeal to this
great institution. May I note. In passing, a matter of some importance in re-
gard to the proposed Australian Federation Bill ? It appears in that bill to be
suggested that if it is passed appeals should only*go to the Privy Council upon
constitutional questions. I venture most respectfully to urge the reconstruction
of that suggestion. Nothing is more desirable in the interests of the colonies,,
in the interests of the United Kingdom and of the British Empire, than a
uniformity, which can only be obtained by occasional appeals to the highosl
tribunal, settling once for all the law for all parts of the Empire ; and I con-
fess I think it would be a great loss to the colonists if they surrendered the
opportunity of getting this Judicial decision upon difficult and complicated
points of law which from time to time may arise in the local courts.

THE QUESTION OP DEFENCE.
I have said that the question to which I first directed your attention—that
of closeA- relations— is greater than all the rest. I may say that it covers all tlie
rest, because, of course, If federation were established, or anything approach-
ing to it, all these other questions to which I am now about to call your at-
tention would be settled by whatever was the representative body of the federa-
• tion, and among them, and in the very first rank, must of necessity come the
question of Imperial defence. Gentlemen, you have seen something of the military
strength of the Empire ; you will see on Saturday an astounding representation
of its naval strength, by which alone a colonial empire can be bound together.
You are aware that that representation^great, magnificent, unparalleled as it
will be— is nevertheless only a part of the naval forces of the Empire spread in
every part of the globe. The great Mediterranean fleet is still at its full force;
the fleets on the various stations are all up to their normal strength, and the
fleet which you will see on Saturday next is merely the reserve and home fleet,
ready to go anywhere, at any time, in the interests of the colonies of the
United Kingdom.
This gigantic navy, and the military forces of the United Kingdom, are
maintained, as you know, at heavy cost. I think the charge upon the Ex-
chequer is at the present time something like thirty-five millions sterling per
annum, and it constitutes more than one- third of the total income of the coun-
try. Now, these fieets, and this military arrangement, are not maintained ex-
clusively, or even mainly, for the benefit of the United Kingdom or for the de-
fence of home interests. They are still more maintained as a necessity of the
Empire, for the maintenance and protection of Imperial trade and of Imperial
interests all over the world, and if you will for a moment consider the history
of this country during, say, the present century, or, I would say, during the
present reign, you will find that every war, great or small, in which we have
been engaged, has had at the bottom a colonial interest, the interest, that is to
say, either of a colony or of a great dependency like India. That is absolutely
true and is likely to be true to the end of this chapter. If we had no Empire
there Is no doubt whatever that our military and our naval resources would
not require to be maintained at anything like their present level.
Now, I venture to say that that must necessarily be the case in the future.
Look at the condition of the colonies. Assume— although I am almost ashamed
to assume it, even for the purpose of argument— assume that these colonies
were separated from the mother country. What would be the position of the
great Dominion of Canada ? The Dominion of Canada is bordered for 3,000
miles by a most powerful neighbor, whose potentialities are infinitely greater
than her actual resources. She comes into conflict in regard to the most im-
portant interests with the rising power of Japan, and even in regard to some
of her Interests with the great Empire of Russia. Now, let it not be supposed
for a moment that I suggest as probable— I hardly like to think that it is even
possible— that there should be a war between Canada, or on behalf of Canada,
either with the United States of America or with any of the other powers with
which she may come in contact ; but what I do say is this, that if Canada had
not behind her to-day, and does not continue to have behind her, this great
military and naval power of great Britain, she would have to make concessions
to her neighbors and to accept views which might be extremely distasteful to
her. in order to* remain permanently on good terms with them. She would not
be able to, it would be impossible that she should, herself control all the de-
tails of her own destiny ; she would be, to a greater or less extent, in spite o
372 PARI.IAMENTARY GUIDE
the bravery of her population and' the patriotism of her people she would still
he, to a great extent, a dependent country.
Look at Australia again. I need not dwell on the point at length, but w^
find the same thing. The Interests of Australia have already, on moi'e than
one occasion, threatened to come into conflict with those of two of the greatest
military nations of the continent, and military nations, let me add, who also
possess each of them a very large, one of them an enormous, fleet. There may
be also questions of difflculty arising with eastern nations, with Japan or even ■
with China, and under those circumstances the Australasian colonies are in
precisely the same position as the Dominion of Canada. In South Africa, in
addition to the ambitions of foreign countries, to which I need not further al-
lude, our colonies ther^ have domestic rivals who are heavily armed, prepared
both for offence and defence ; and again I say, nothing could be more suicidal
or more fatal than for any of those great groups of colonies either to separate
themselves in the present stage from the protecting forces of the mother coun-
try or to neglect themselves to take their fair share In those protective re-
sources.
COLONIAL ASSISTANCE.
What, then, I w|int to urge upon you is, and in doing so I think I ann
speaking to those who are already converted,' that we have a common interest
in this matter, and certainly it has been a great pleasure to us, a great pride
to us, that Australia, in the first instance, offered voluntarily a contribution in
aid of the British navy besides taking her full share of her own military de-
fences. Now we have to recognize that Cape Colony has followed in that patri-
otic course. I do not know upon what conditions these gifts may be offered or
continued, but, at all events, the spirit in which they have been made is most
heartily reciprocated fn this country. The amount, of course, is at the present
time absolutely trifling, but that is not the point. We are looking to the col-
onies as still children, but rapidly approaching manhood. In the lifetime, per-
haps, of some of us we shall see the population doubled, and certainly in the
lifetime of our descendants, there will be great nations where now there are
comparatively sparse populations ; and to establish in the early days this prin-
ciple of mutual support and of a truly Imperial patriotism is a great thing of
which our colonial statesmen may well be proud.
I shall be very glad to hear the views of the Premiers in regard to this
question of any contribution which they think the colonies would be willing to
make in order to establish this principle in regard to the naval defence of the
Empire. As regards the military defence of the Empire, I am bound to say
that we are still behindhand, although a great deal has been done in recent
years. As you know, the Colonial Defence Committee of experts has been
sitting, and has ancoraplfshcd already, with the assistance of the colonies, a
very great improvement in the state of things which existed before ; but I
cannot say from the information at my disposal that with all tiie magnificent
resources of the colonies their organization at present Is satisfactory. This is
more a matter of detail, and I do not propose to dwell upon it now, but I would
remind the Premiers assembled that if war breaks out war will be sudden, and
there will be no time for preparation then. Therefore, it Is of the first Import-
ance that we, all having a common interest, should have beforehand a scheme
of common defence against any possible, or at all events any probable* enemy,
and we ought to have these schemes of defence before us. In the' case of some
of the colonies schemes have already been prepared ; in others no scheme has
been prepared or concerted up to the present time, and I believe it is inost de-
sirable that that omission should be repaired. It Is also most desirable, il)
EMPIRE EVENTS S7S
Australia, especially, and to a lesser entent, although still to an important ex
tent, in South Africa, that there should be a uniformity in regard to the mili-
tary preparations. A uniformity of arms is, I need scarcely say, of drnmen^f
importance, as it gives us Interehangeability of weapon, and there are also.unl^
tormity of equipment, some central provision for stores, and for the militarf i
instruction of the local forces, all of which can be arranged witli the assist*
ance of the colonies, and, I believe, very much to their advantage.
EXCHANGE OP FORCES.
But I am looking forward to something more than that. The interchange- ^
ability in the several groups is a matter of great importance, but how mucli
greater it would be if there were interehangeability between the whole force*
of the Empire, between the forces which you have in the several colonies and
the forces ot which you have seen some examples at home since you came to
these shores. That is a matter which alone can be arranged, and to which we
shall bring, at all events, the utmost good will. If you have, as Canada ha«
at Kingston, an important military college, it may be possible for us to offer
occasionally to the cadets of that college commissions in the British army.
But a still more important matter which has suggested itself to my mind, and
which now I desire to commend to your earnest attention, is a proposal which
may be described as the interehangeability of military duties. To put it into
plain English it means this : That, for instance, a Canadian regiment should
come to this country, take up its quarters for a period of time, at least twelve
months, with the British army, and form, during the whole time that it is ili
this country, a part of the British army, and that in return, a similar regiment
of British troops, or a brigade of artillery or cavalry, should go to Canada and
should reside and exercise with the Canadian army and form a part of that •
army. The idea is that this should be chiefly for the purpose of drill and in-
fitruction, and I cannot doubt that it will be of enormous advantage to the
Canadian troops, and to the troops of the colonies, to measure themselves
against the regular army and to learn the discipline and the manoeuvres which
are practised on a large scale in this country.
But my imagination goes even further. It seems to me possible that, al-
though in the first instance the idea is that such a regiment coming to this
country would come solely for that purpose and would not be engaged in mili-
tary operations, yet if it were their wish to share in the dangers and the glor-
ies of the British army and take their part in expeditions in which the British
army may be engaged, I see no reason why these colonial troops should not,
from time to time, figHt side by side with their British colleagues. That, how-
ever, is a matter which, like everything else which I am putting before you, is
not a recommendation which has any pressure behind it ; it is merely a sug-
gestion to be taken up by you voluntarily if it commends itself to your minds.
"What I have suggested might take place with regard to Canada, I believe
might equally take place with regard to such fine forces as those of which we
have seen representatives from some of the colonies of Australia, and might
take place also with regard to the South African colonies.
COMMERCIAL RELATIONS.
I pass on, then, to another question, and that Is as to the future commercial
relations between this country and her colonies. How far is it possible td
make those relations closer and more Intimate ? I have said that I believe in
sentiment as the greatest of all the forces in the general government of the
world, but, at the same time, I should like to bring to the reinforcement r
374 PARtlAMKNTARY GUIDE
sentiment the motives whtph are derived from material and personal Interest.
But undoubte41y't]ie fiscal arrangements of the different colonies differ so xnu<di
among themselves, and all differ so much from those of the mother country,
that it would be a matter of the greatest complication and difficulty to arrive
at any conclusion which would unite us commercially in the same senise in
which the ^ollvere'Hi united the Empire of Qermany. It may be borne in znind
that the history of that zoUverein is most interesting and most instructive. It
commenced entirely as a commercial convention, dealing in the first instance
only partially with the trade of the Empire, it was rapidly extended to include
the whole trade of the Empire, and it finally made possible and encouraged the
ultimate union of the Empire. But this is a matter upon which at the present
time, rather tban suggest any proposals of my own, I desire to hear tlie views
of the gentlemen present. In the meanwhile, however, I may say that I note a
resolution which appears to have been passed unanimously at the meeting of
the Premiers in Hobart in which the desire was expressed for closer commercial
arrangements with the Empire, and I think it was suggested that a commission
of inquiry should be created in order to see in what way practical effect might
be given to the aspiration. If that be the case, and if it wdre t lKH i ght that at
the present time you were not prepared to go beyond inquiry, if it were ISm
wish of the other colonies, of Canada and of the South African colonies, to Join
in such an Inquiry, Her Majesty's Government would be delighted to make ar-
rangements for the purpose and to accept any suggestions as to the form of the
reference and the character and constitution of the commission, and would very
•gladly take part in it.
But that brings me to another question connected with commercial rela-
tions and of great Importance. I refer to the treaties at present existing be-
tween the mother country, acting on behalf of the colonies as well as of her-
self, and foreign countries. The question has been raised at various times In
the shape of resolutions or suggestions from the colonies that certain treaties,
notably a treaty with Germany and 'K treaty with Belgium, should be de-
nounced. It should be borne in mind that that is for us a most important
question. Our trade with Germany and Belgium is larger than our trade with
all the colonies combined. It is possible that if we denounced those treaties
Germany and Belgium would endeavor, I do not say they would succeed, but
they might endeavor to retaliate, and for some time, at any rate, our commer-
cial relations with these two countries might be disturbed. Therefore, a step of
that kind is one which can only be taken after the fullest consideration and In
deference to very strong opinion both in this country and in the colonies. Now,
the question is brought to a practical issue, by the recent action of Canada.
As all are aware, Canada has offered preferential terms to the mother country,
and Germany and Belgium have immediately protested and claimed similar
terms under these treaties. Her Majesty's Government desire to know from
the colonies whether, so far as they are concerned, if it be found that the ar-
rangements proposed by Canada are inconsistent with the conditions of those
treaties, they desire that those treaties shall be denounced. If that be the
unanimous wish of the colonies, after considering the effect of that denuncia-
tion upon them as well as upon us, because they are also concerned in the ar-
rangements which are made by these treaties, then all I can say at the present
time Is that Her Majesty's Government will most earnestly consider such a re-
commendation from the colonies and will give to it the favorable regard which
such a memorial deserves.

BMPIRB EVENTS 375^
MOST FAVORED NATIONS.
But I should add that there is another question which Is still more difficult,
but ahout which I only wish to offer a word of warning to the representati /es
present. Besides thtfse two treaties, which are very special in their terms and
which prevent the preferential arrangement, or which appear to prevent the
preferential arrangement contemplated hy Canada, we have a most favored na^
tion clause in* all our treaties to which most of the colonies are parties. I may
^'xplain that, under the terms of the Canadian resolution if any foreign nation
were to offer to Canada beneficial terms as defined in the resolution, Canada
would then be bound to give to that country the same preference as is offered
Ito Great Britain. Let me suppose, for instance, that it was a minor country
like Hollland, and assume for the sake of argument, that Holland offered these
advantages, thereupon Canada would be compelled to give the same terms to
nolland that she now offers to the mother country. She would then be bound
by most favored nation treaties to give the same terms to practically to every
Important commercial country in the world. It would be, I think, a matter of
impossibility to denounce those treaties because that involves the whole trade
of the Empire, and In some cases there is no term of denunciation In the
treaties.
But, of course, the whole difficulty can be avoided— I only pc^nt it out In
passing— the whole difficulty can be avoided by any colony which desires to
make the preferential arrangement with the mother country if that colony will
confine its offer of nomination to the mother country, and not make it to a for-
• eign country, but if it is offered to a foreign country, then, as I say, it will be
controlled by the most favored nation treaties throughout the world.
The next point to which I will allude very briefly in connection with our
commercial relations is the question of important communications. That was
the subject of very important resolutions at the time of the conference at Ot-
tawa, and already I am happy to think that considerable effect has been given
to those resolutions in regard to the fast mail service, which was the first Jind
probably the most important of those resolutions. Arrangements are now in
progress by which it will be accomplished, and I hope that in connection with
that the service between Canada and Australia will also be improved, and there
will be nothing further to be desired.
PACIFIC CABLE.
There is, however, still pending the question of a Pacific cable passing en-
tirely through British territory. Upon that we desire to have the opinions of
the gentlemen present as to how far they are prepared to go. I would say in
in regard to this, and also in regard to the fast steam service, in dealing with
the matter at all, we are giving the most striking proof we can of our good
will and of our desire to meet your wishes. Neither of these proposals would
have been made by us. I frankly say that we are not dissatisfied with the
present arrangements; we do not feel, although we think that they are valu-
able proposals, yet we do not feel that they are urgent, and therefore we should
not ourselves, or by ourselves, have been disposed to offer subsidies either to
the steamboat service or to the Paciflo cable, and we are only induced to do it
by our desire" to show that in any matter in which our colonies are themselves
deeply interested they may count upon the support and assistance of the mother
country. Well, in regard to the Pacific cable, the matter stands thus I A re-
presentative committee was appointed, which has discussed the whole subject ;
it has come to the conclusion that such a cable is practicable, has roughly es-
timated the cost (which is probably less than was originally anticipated), and
376 PAJRWAMENTARY GUIDE
has also estimated the probable returns. What remains, however, to be en-
quired into is as to the subsidies which the several colonies are prepared to
give towards this undertaking. Without in this venturing to pledge my col-
leagues, I say that to any proposal which may be made by the colonies tbe
Government will give their most favorable consideration.
I also should mention the desire whi(^ is widely felt, and which I sliare.
for an improved postal communication with the colonies. I believe that that
matter rests entirely with the colonies themselves, and that they have revenue
difficulties in the matter which have hitherto prevented us coming to any con-
clusion. But I confess that I think that one of the Very first things to bind
together the sister nations is to have the readiest and easiest possible com-
munication between their several units, and, as far as this country is con-
cerned, I believe wo should be quite ready to make any sacrifice of revenue
that may be required in order to secure a universal penny post througbout
the Empire.
COMMERCIAL CODE.
A very desirable, but minor, point would be, if it were possible, and I do
not think that there is any serious practical difficulty, an agreement as to
a commercial code for the Empire. We all know that trade relations &re
guided very much by the simplicity with which they can be conducted, and U
we had throughout the British Empire the same law in regard to all commercial
matters, I have no doubt whatever that that in Itself would be a striHig in-
ducement that the course of trade should take the direction that we desire.
This, however, is a matter of detail ; I should only desire an expression of
opinion as to the desirability of It, but if it were thought really a desirable
thing to accomplish it might be secured by an expert commission which would
settle the details, and I think I have already circulated to the Premiers a m^n-
orandum on the subject, which has been prepared by the Parliamentary drafts-
men of this country and which wQUld be the basis for discussion by any com-
mission which might be appointed.
A difficulty has arisen, which is local, I think, to Australia, with regard to
the settlement of load lines. The settlement of load lines has been undertaken
in this country with a view to securing the safety of ships at sea, and of the
men who go down to the sea in them, and a load line has been established in
the United Kingdom. It would be absolutely impossible for the United King-
dom, as long as that is in force, to recognize any other load line less safe than
their own, because otherwise it would lead to a transfer of trade. It would be
perfectly natural, if a shipowner wished to escape the obligations of the law, to
transfer himself to a colonial registry, and to come into competition with our
shipowners with arrangements which, although more profitable, are certainly
less safe. But some difficulty has arisen in regard to this in some of the Aus-
tralian colonies, and I should be very glad to see that removed. I hope that a
proposal which I have to make to you will entirely remove any further diffi-
culty, and it is that the British Board of Trade should add to the expert auth-
ority which has from time to tfme to decide the load line representatives of the
icolonles concerned. In that way the voice of the colonies and the Interests of
Ihe colonics In any local question Would be fully heard before a joint line was
agreed upon.
THE PARIS EXHIBITION. -
I have also a small matter to ask your Instructions upon in regard to the ■
Paris Exhibition for the year 1900. We were very anxious, If possible, to secure J
a united representation of the Empire in one building. That has proved to be I
EMPIRE EVENTS 377
impoesible owing to the French arrangements and the way in which they have
divided the exhibition; but what we hope we have secured is this, that a special
colonial building for the whole of the colonial exhibition, in, a fltst-rate situa^
tlon and exactly opposite thei French colonial exhibition, shall be reserved, and
all the colonies will then exhibit together in a single building. In the other
one would be the French colonial exhibits, but the exhibits of the motSier
country of France and the mother country of the XTnited Kingdom will be in
each case in a separate building. In regard to this matter it has been pro-
posed to put representatives of all the colonies upon the Royal Commission.
It will be a position of honor and importance. But we are in this difficulty,
that the Agents-Qeneral who would naturally suggest themselves are, I believe,
rather a varying body, that some of them are likely no longer to be holding office
in 1900, and that, therefore, it will be necessary to make a special appointihent
ad hoc for this purpose, and what we wish to know is whether that would be
agreeable to the colonies, and if so, if they would each of them nominate some
one as their representative upon the commission, that some one being either
the Agent-Cteneral or any one else whom thy thought better to nominate for
the purpose.
ALIEN IMMIGRATION.
One other question I have to mention, and only one— that is, I wish to di-
rect your attention to certain legislation which is in process of consideration,
or which has been passed by some of the colonies in regard to the immigration
of aliens, and particularly of Asiatics.
I have seen these bills, and they differ in some respects from the other,
but there is none of them, except, perhaps, the bill which comes to us from
Natal, to which we can look with satisfaction. I wish to say that Her Majes-
ty's Government thoroughly appreciates the object and the needs of the colon-
ies in dealing with this matter. We quite sympathize with the determination
of the white inhabitants of these colonies, which are in comparatively close
proximity to millions and hundreds of millions of Asiatics, that there shall not
be an influx of people alien in civilization, alien in religion, alien in customs,
whose influx, moreover, would most seriously interfere with the legitimate
rights of the existing labor population. An immigration of that kind must, I
quite understand, in the interest of the colonies, be prevented at all hazards,
and we shall not offer any opposition to the proposals intended with that ob-
ject, but we ask you to bear in mind the traditions of the Empire, which makes
no distinction in favor of or against race or color ; and to exclude, by reason
of their color or by reason of their race, all Her Majesty's Indian subjects, or
even all the Asiatics, would be an act so offensive to those peoples that it
would be most painful, I am quite certain to Her Majasty to have to sanction it.
Consider what has been brought to your notice during your visit to this coun-
try. The United Kingdom owns as its brightest and greatest dependency th.vt
enormous Empire of India, with 300,000.000 of subjects, who are as loyal to the
Crown as you are yourselves, and among them there are hundreds and thous-
ands of men who are every whit as civilized as we are ourselves, who are, if
that Is anything, better born, in the sense that they have older traditions and
older families, who are men of wealth, men of cultivation, men of distinguished
valor, men who have brought whole armies and placed them at the service of
the Queen, and have in times of great difficulty and trouble— such, for instance,
as on the occasion of the Indlkn mutiny— saved the Empire by their loyalty.
I say you, who have seen all this, cannot be willing to put upon those men a
slight which I think is absolutely unnecessary for your purpose, and which
would be calculated to provoke ill-feeling, discontent, irritation, and would btf
■ \
378 PARI«IAMSMTARY GUIDB
most unpalatable to the feelings not only of Her Majesty the Queen, l>iit of ail
her people.
What, I venture to think, you have to deal with is the character of tlie im-
migration. It is not because a man is of a different color from ourselves that
he is necessarily an undtoirable- immigraht, but it is because he is dirty, or he
is immoral, or he is a pauper, or he has some other objection which, c&n be de-
fined in an Act of Parliament, and by which the exclusion can l>e xnanaged
with regard to all those whom you really desire to exclude. Well, gentlemen,
this is a matter, I am sure, for friendly consultation between us. As I have
said, the colony of Natal has arrived at an arrangement which is Absolutely
satisfactory to them, I believe ; and remember they have, if possible, an even
ip'eater interest than you, because they axe closer to the immigration ^nrbich has
already begun there on a very large scale, and they have adopted legislation
which they believe will give them all that they want, and to which the objec-
tion I have taken does not apply, which does not come in conflict 'with this
sentiment which I am sure you share with us ; and I hope, therefore, that
during your visit it may be possible for us to arrange a form of words which
will avoid hurting the feelings of any of Her Majesty's subjects, while at the
same time it would amply protect the Australian colonies against any invasion
of the class to whicE they would justly object. Now, gentlemen, I really owe
you a humble apology for having detained you so long, but I thought that it
might be to your convenience that this recapitulation should be made of some
things which might be treated in our discussions, and I have only now to thank
you very much for your kindness in listening to me so patiently, and to ex-
press a hope that you will be good enough to give me generally and at this
stage in our proceedings your ideas as to the course which we should take In
regard to our future meetings.

RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED
The commercial relations of the United Kingdom, and the self-governing
colonies were first considered, and the following resolutions were unanimously
adopted :—
(1) That the Premiers of the self-governing colonies unanimously and
earnestly recommend . the denunciation, at the earliest convenient time, of any
treaties which now hamper the commercial relations between Great Britain
and her colonies.
(2) That, in the hope of improving the trade relations between the mother
country and the colonies, the Premiers present undertake to confer with their
colleagues with a view to seeing whether such a result can be properly secured
by a preference given by the colonies to the products of the United Kingdom.
Her Majesty's Government have already given effect to the first of these
resolutions by formally notifying to the Governments concerned their wish to
terminate the commercial treaties with Germany and Belgium, which alone of
the existing commercial treaties of the United Kingdom are a bar to the estab-
lishment of preferential tarifiC relations between the mother country and the
colonies. From and after July 30, 1898, therefore, there will be nothing in any
^B* Her Majesty's treaty obligations to preclude any action which any of the
colonies may see fit to take in iimwiau ce of the -eecoed resolution.
It Is, however, right to point out that if any colony were to go farther and
to grant preferential terms to any foreign country, the provisions of the most
favored nation clauses in many treaties between Her Majesty and other pow-
ers, in which the colonies are Included, would necessitate the concession of sim-
ilar terms to those countries.
On the question of the political relations between the mother country and
the self-governing colonies, the resolutions adopted were as follows : —
(1) That Prime Ministers here assembled are of opinion that the present
political relations between the United Kingdom and the self-governing colonies
are generally satisfactory under the existing condition of things.
Mr. Seddon and Sir E. N. C. Braddon dissented.
(2) They are also of opinion that It is desirable, whenever and wherever
practicable, to group together under a federal union those colonies which are
geographically united.
Carried unanimously.
(3) Meanwhile, the Premiers are of opinion that It would be desirable to
hold periodical conferences of representatives of the colonies and Great Britain
for the discussion of matters of common interest.
Carried unanimously.
Mr. Seddon and Sir E. N. C. Braddon dissented from the first resolution
because they were of opinion that the time had already come when an effort
should be made to render more formal the political ties between the United
Kingdom and the colonies. The majority of the Premiers were not yet pre-
pared to adopt this position, but there was a strong feeling amongst some of
them that, with the rapid growth of population In the colonies, the present re-
lations could not continue indefinitely, and that some means would have to be
devised for giving the colonics a voice in the control and direction of those
questions of Imperial interest in which they are concerned equally with the
mother country.
It was recognized at the same time that such a share in the direction of
Imperial policy would Involve a proportionate contribution in aid of Imperial
expenditure, for which, at present at any rate, the colonies generally ar^ ««'
prepared.
380 PARI^IAMBNTRY GUIDB
THE DEFENCE QUESTION.
On the question of Imperial defence, the Tarious points raised in the speedi
of the Secretary of State were fully discussed. On the most important of
them— that of naval defence—some misapprehension had arisen as to ttie views
of Her Majesty's Government in regard to the agreement with the Australasian
colonies, and the First Lord of the Admiralty, accompanied hy the Senior Naval
Lord, attended the conference on its fifth and last meeting and made tlie fol-
lowing statement of the attitude of Her Majesty's Government :—
I have been asked to make some statement with reference to the attitude
of the Admiralty as to colonial contributions towards naval defence, and in
particular as to the agreement with the Australasian colonies.
I may say generally that we are content to abide by the existing agrreement.
The declarations which have been made on one of the earlier days of the con-
ference by some of the Colonial Premiers have convinced me as to the dlflS-
culties which would beset other methods of colonial contribution, and so, I re-
peat, we are content to abide by the existing agreement. We would be perfect-
ly prepared to hear any argument against it, or for modifying it ; but ias mat-
ters now stand, and in view of what I have learnt of what has i>assed in this
room, we should certainly not propose to give notice for the termination of
that agreement, and we should leave it as it is and administer It as it has been
administered hitherto.
The question may be looked at from three points of view— from the political
point of view, from the stragetical point of view, and from the purely Admir-
alty and naval point of view. From the Admiralty and naval point of view
we can work the agreement, and we should wish to work it on the same lines
as those on which we work ft at present. From the political point of view, I
can, of course, only speak as an individual member of the Government ; but,
as First Lord of Admiralty and a member of the Government, I value the
principle which Is involved in the contribution of the colonies to the navy,
which was settled some years ago, and I think it would be a great pity and a
retrograde step if such ties as have been established were to be cut. Sir Gor-
don Sprigg has sent us a very graceful proposal from the Cape, which shows
the development of that system. We should be very glad to open up negotia-
tions with Canada, if not precisely on the same lines, because its situation is
somewhat different, yet on other lines.
I come back to the point that we value generally the contributions to the
navy, not only for their amount, because I frankly admit that, with our present
vast estimates, a contribution of £126,000 is not an item to which we should
attach, at the Admiralty, any great importance. Of course, I cannot speak
for the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Well, that being so, from the political
point of view, I myself am in favor of the maintenance of the agreement .
I have said that from the naval point of view, I am also In favor of the main-
tenance of the agreement. Though I do not meah to say that it assists us to
any great extent, it does produce between the Admiralty and the colonies cer-
tain ties which we value and which I should be very sorry to do anything to
loosen.
IMPERIAL CONTROL.
From the strategical point of view we should be glad that the Admiralty
should have a free hand. I was glad to see that It has been acknowledged by
the Premiers that the operations of the Australian squadron in the Solomon
Islands, and generally in the Pacific groups, have a distinct colonial as well as <
an Imperial interest, and that no complaint could be raised against the employ-
ment of ships on the Australasian Station for purposes so distinctly colonial at
:^i
BMPIRE EVENTS 381
xxi&any of these purposes are, though such employment might carry the ships to
CL considerable distance from the continent of Australia. But, apart from this,
t^lie object for which we want a free hand Is to be able to conduct the defence
of Australia on the same principles as those which we should follow in the de-
-£ence of our English, Scotch and Irish ports—principles which exclude our un-
dertaking to detach ships to particular ports. For instance, we could not under-
t^ake to post one ship at Sydney, another at Adelaide, and another at Mel-
l^oume. We must rely upon the localities themselves for the defence of these
I>orts, while, on' our part, we undertake that no organized expedition should be
directed against any part of Australia. No organized expedition could be sent
either from Japan or the United States, or from France without the full
:knowledge of the Admiralty. That I assume. We are too ubiquitous for any
such expedition to be secretly organized. If it were organized our whole
strength would be directed to defeating such a movement. I see it has been
suggested in a previous discussion that possibly we might, under stress, take
away the ships which may be on the Australian Station, and' for which you
■have partly paid and on which you rely, in order to send them to some dis-
tant quarter. But I canhot concieve any case, unless we lost actually our sea
powet, when we should think it our duty not to defend so valuable a portion
of our Empire as Australia, New Zealand and Tasmania, for the safety of
which we hold ourselves responsible in the same way as we hold ourselves re-
eponsible for the safety of the Brftish Islands. I put this very strongly so that
there may be no apprehension. In all our stragetical combinations we have
never conceived the possibility that we should expose such possessions as the
Australian colonies.
Let me say another word on the suggestion of which mention has been
made that it was the desire of the Admiralty to have full control of the Aus-
tralian squadron in time of war, even so far as to send the ships paid for by
the Australian colonies thousands of miles away to attack the commerce of an
enemy. This rumor has probably originated from our claiming freedom in the
sense in which I have claimed it.
CONCENTRATION OF VESSELS.
If it has been saTQ that we want to have the full and free disposal of our
ships, this certainly, as far as my own policy and that of the present board Is
concerned, does not mean that we claim to withdraw the ships built under our
agreement with the Australian colonies and to send them to the Cape or to
China, but that we desire freedom so to manage the ships as best to protect
that zone and that sphere to which they belong, if we heard that an enemy
were planning an expedition towards the coast of Australia. In such a case we
might possibly gather the whole of our ships together and taking such other
precautions as might be necessary, use them regardless— regardless is, perhaps,
too strong a word, but use them as we should see best for the protection of the
general interests of that part of the Queen's dominions.
I know that an erroneous impression has existed that, not only in the col-
onies, but at home, we should station ships to defend particular ports. Take
Liverpool, for instance. We, the navy, are \mder no guarantee to defend
Liverpool. The defences of Liverpool are In the hands of the army, who prac-
tically manage! the torpedoes and the mines ; the shore defences, in fact. It Is
the army ashore which Is responsible, with such co-operation as might be
necessary, if a comparatively large expedition were to threaten the place. This
is the freedom which we claim.
The misunderstanding has arisen, I have been told, from the Interpreta-
382 PARWAMKNTARY GUIDB
tlon of a Bpeech of the Duke of Devonshire's. I know that speech ^-wrell. It
did not for one moment, to my mind, Justify the fear that we sliould, ta.
■ breach of our agreement with Australia, claim to withdraw the ships from
thence which had been paid for by colonial contributions. The principal point
in that speech was a protest against the idea of what I call hugging the
shore, against the idea that protection by the navy superceded the necessity for
shore defences. It laid down the principle that our policy must be aggressive,
seeking but the enemy, a policy which, as regards Australia, mi^ht aipiat at-
tacking the possessions of other powers at war with us in the Australian zone,
or at seeking out their ships within the Australian Station wherever they mi^t
be. Hence our claim for freedom for the navy. Hence the duty of the col<Hile8
as well as the mother country to look after their shore defences. I do not say
that we should not prefer contributions without any tie whatever, but I do not
make such a demand, and so far as the policy of the present Board of Admir-
alty is concerned, I am prepared to stand by the existing agreement.
CAPE COLONY'S OFFER.
After hearing Mr. Qoschen, the conference passed the following resolution :
" That the statement of the First Lord of the Admiralty with reference to the
Australian squadron is most satisfactory, and the Premiers of Australasia favor
the continuance of the Australian squadron under the terms of the existing
agreement.
This resolution was supported by all the Australlasian Premiers, except Mr.
Kingston, who declined to vote pending further consideration of a scheme,
which he put before the conference, for the establishment of a branch of the
P.oyal Navy Reserve in Australia.
The Prime Minister of the Cape also announced to the conference that, in
pursuance of the resolution passed by the Legislature of that colony, in favor
of a contribution towards the navy, he was prepared to ofTer on behalf of the
colony an unconditional contribution of the cost of a first-class battleship.
This spontaneous offer was received with grateful appreciation by Her Majes-
ty's Government and the members' of the conference.
In discussing the other questions of Imperial defence, the conference had
the advantage of the presence of Captain Nathan, Secretary of the Colonial
Defence Committee, who was able to furnish explanations to the members on
various points, and to point out the steps, which in the opinion of the commit-
tee, were most needed in each colony to complete its preparedness for an>
emergency. The Premiers all agreed to give the views expressed their careful
consideration when, on their return to their respective colonies, they were in a
position to consult their colleagues and parliaments.
The suggestion made for an occasional interchange of military units be-
tween the mother country and the colonies was generally recognized as one
likely to prove useful in increasing the efficiency of the colonial forces, and the
Premiers of those colonies which possess permanent forces of a purely military
character, expressed their intention of examining on their return what legisla-
tive or other measures might be necessary in order to give effect to it as oppor-
tunity offered.
On behalf of the War Office the conference was informed that, with a view ^
of securing uniformity in the arms and ammunition used by the military
forces throughout the Empire, the Secretary of State for War was prepared to
make an offer for the exchange (or conversion) of the Martini-Henry rifles at
present in use for rifles of the smaller calibre now exclusively adopted by tht
navy and army.
The question of the treaty with Japan was brought before the eonferene^t
« EMPIRE EVENTS 383
\>VLt, with, the exception of Queensland, Newfoundland and Natal, the Premiers
declared that they were not prepared to abandon their former^ attitude with re-
gard to the treaty, to which they did not desire to adhere.
They also, with the exception of the Premier of Newfoundland, stated that
tbey did not wish the colonies they represented to become parties to the ccm-
vention in regard to the trade with Tunis now being negotiated with France.
OTHER RESOLUTIONS.
On the question of the legislative measures which haye been passed by
various colonies for the exclusion of colored immigrants a full exchange of
views took place, and though no definitq agreement was reached at the meet-
ing, as the Premiers desired to consult their colleagues and Parliaments on the
subject. Her Majesty's Government have every expectation that the natural de-
sire of the colonies to protect themselves against an overwhelming influx of
Asiatics can be attained without placing a stigma upon any of Her Majesty's
subjects on the sole ground of race or color.
With regard to postal communications within the Empire, it appeared that
in the present financial circumstances of the colonies an Imperial penny post
was impracticable, although the Prime Ministers of Cape Colony and Natal
declared themselves in favor of such a step, and expressed their belief that the
Legislatures of their colonies would be prepared to give effect to it.
The question of the proposed Pacific cable was brought up, but the majority
of the Premiers desired that the subject should be deferred until they had had
time to consider the report of the committee appointed to consider the question
last year. It was, however, pointed out to the members of the conference that
the matter was not one in which the United Kingdom was taking the initia-
tive, although Her Majesty's Government were ready to consider any proposal
for working with and assisting the colonies if they attached great Importance .
to the project ; and that they would now await definite proposals from the
colonies interested before proceeding further in the matter.
At the last meeting of the conference a resolution was passed unanimously
by those of the Premiers who were still present to the following effect :—
" Those assembled are of the opinion that the time has arrived when all re-
striction which prevents investment of trust funds in colonial stock should be
removed. This resolution will be communicated to and commended to the con-
sideration of the -proper authorities."
Amongst minor questions discussed was that of the representation of the
cftlonies at the Paris Exhibition of 1900. Her Majesty's Government had origin-
ally desired that the Empire as a whole should exhibit in one building, but
this was found to be Impracticable, the French Government not being able to
put the requisite amount of space at the disposal of Her Majesty's Government.
Under the changed conditions only the Premiers of Canada, New South Wales,
Queensland, and Cape Colony declared their intention of being represented ;
while the Premiers of the other colonies reserved their decision, with the ex-
ception of the Premier of South Australia, who stated that his colony was not
prepared to take part in the exhibition under any circumstances.
A discussion arose upon the alteration of the date of departure from Ade-
laide of the mail steamers under the new contracts with the Peninsular and
Oriental and Orient Companies. There was considerable difference of opinion,
but it was decided to accept Thursday as the most suitable date under all the
circumstances.
The question of load lines was discussed privately with the Premiers of the
colonies In connection with recent legislation on the subject as to which diffi-
culties have arisen.
AUSTRALIAN FEDERATION
Compiled June, 1S98.
Full returns of the vote on Federation in Australia show that in every col-
ony there was a majority for Federation, but in the largest colony the major-
ity was not as large as required by the conditions of the vote. The tigurea
were :—
For. Against.
New South Wales 70,900 65,619
Victoria 93,473 20,570
Tasmania 13,496 2,900
South Australia 25,659 15,121
By the terms of the New South Wales law providing for the polling: in that
colony, there had to be not less than 80,00() votes cast for Federation. The
reasons for the comparative indifference of New South Wales were said to be
that it is a free trade colony, and does not wish to subject itself to a change
•ot policy by allying itself with a majority of Protectionists, as the other col-
onies are. The working classes to a very large extent followed their leaders in
condemning the bill as not sufficiently democratic, on the ground that the equal
tepresentation in the Senate of large colonies and small was opposed to the
fundamental principle of " one man one vote." Also, they held that the pro-
vision for a three-fourths majority "at the joint sitting of the two Houses in
case of a deadlock was a violation of the principle of majority rule— that the
decision should have been by an absolute majority, or, failing that, that there
should have been a mass referendum in the last resort.
Mr. Reid, the leader of the present Free Trade Government, is In favor of
the principle of federation, but condemns the Commonwealth bill agreed upcm
by a convention of representatives of the Qolonles talcing part in the plebiscite.
If federation can only be obtained by the abandonment of free trade he is op-
posed to it. He is going to the country with a surplus) of about half a million
dollars.
In the Imperial House of Commons, July 28, 1898, Sir Howard Vincent asked
the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he had any information Indi-
cating the probability of similar action to Canada as regards a pneferential
tariff in the near future by the Governments of Australasia, British South
Africa, and Newfoundland, or of the Crown Colonies. Mr. Chamberlain, in re-
ply, said : The only information I possess is that, at the conference Of the
Australian Premiers on March 8th last, the following resolution was passed :—
" That, in the opinion of this conference, any federal tariff should give a pre-
ference to articles the produce or manufacture of the United Kingdom. In de-
fault of an early federal tariff, the Premiers will recommend to their respective
Cabinets to alter the tariff of the different Colonies so as to give a substantial
preference to the United Kingdom and to such Colonies." The Government of
Western Australia is about to submit proposals to the Parliament of the Col-
ony in pursuance of that resolution.
THE ATTITUDE OF NEW SOUTH WALES.
Although the people of New South Wales are strongly divided in opinion
respecting the merits of the proposed Australian federal constitution as accept-
ed by Victoria, South Australia, and Tasmania, they are unanimous In their
desire to secure the advantages of a federal government, and to this end Mr.
G. H. Reid, the colonial Premier, has submitted (Sept., 1898) a series of resolu-
tions for acceptance by the New South Wales Legislative Assembly to the fol-
AUSTRALIAN FEDERATION 385
lowing effect : " That, in view of the nearly equally divided vote of the elec-
tors of New South Wales, on the 3rd June last, upon the question of the ac-
ceptance or rejection of the bill framed by the convention constituted under the
Federal Enabling Acts, and the fact that the statutory number of votes in its
favor was not recorded, and in view of the conclusion confirmed by the re-
iBUlts of the recent general election, that the bill is not acceptable to the elec-
tors of this coldhy in its 'present shape, although the electors have made It
clear that they are strongly in favor of union with the sister colonies upon
lines which can be mutually accepted as fair and just to all, the New South
Wales Legislative Assembly affirms its desir^' that steps should be taken with-
out delay in conjunction with the other colonies to bring about the completion
of federal union ; and that the other colonies should agree to the provisious of
the bill most generally objected to in New South Wales.' The first of these ob-
jectionable clauses is that relating to representation in the Federal Senate. In
the proposed federal constitution each of the colonies, large or small, has an
equal number of representatives, and it is provided that in the event of a
deadlock between the two federal chambers, there shall be a joint sitting of
both, at which a three-fifths majority is required to secur^ the acceptance of a
meaiSure. Mr. Reid desires that a simple majority should suffice, or that the
provision for a joint sitting be replaced by a provision for a national referen-
dum. The next objectionable clause is that popularly known as the " Braddon
Blot," from its being introduced by Sir Edward Braddon, the Tasmania Pre-
mier. It relates to the manner in which certain funds should be raised by the
federal government, and was accepted somewhat inconsiderately. The other
colonies are favorable to its being expunged.
It is also proposed that the clause relating to the federal capital be amend-
ed, and that instead of leaving the federal parliament to decide in which colony
it shall be located, provision shall be made for its establishment in such place
within the boundaries of New South Wales as the federal parliament may de-
termine. Other resolutions are to the effect that better provision should be
made against the alteration of the boundaries of a State without its own con-
sent—namely, by the protection afforded by a clause, as to the representation
of States ; that the use of inland rivers for purposes of water conservation and
^irrigation should be more clearly safe-guarded ; that there should bg a uni-
form practice in respect to money bills— namely, that provided in the case of
taxation bills, and bills for the ordinary annual services of the commonwealth:
and that the mode of appeal from the Supreme Courts of the States should be
made uniform— namely, the appeal should either be to the Privy Council, or to
the Australian High Court, but not, as at present, indiscriminately to either.
The final resolution is as follows :— "Although prepared, for the sake of
union— if it be placed in other respects Upon a fair and just footing— to accept
the financial system embodied In the bill, with the one exception mentioned,
this house (the New South Wales Legislative Assembly) earnestly invites fur-
ther inquiry Into, and a more thorough consideration of, the financial clauses,
regarding as evils to be avoided If possible excessive burdens of taxation, the
prolonged system of book-keeping, uncertainty as to the amount of the surplus
to be divided, and uncertainty as to the method of distributing it among the
States."
In moving these resolutions, Mr. Reid pointed out that an interesting and
critical stage In connection with the movement for federal union had been
reached, and that nothing could be ipore striking than the marvellous develop-
ment of federal feeling during the last two or three years, the movement be-
ginning to acquire genuine life and power from the time that the public men of
386 KARWAMENTARY GUIZ»C
Australia decided to put it withia the reacb of the personal interest and initia-
tive of the whole body of the Australian electors. Formerly the Australian
colonies were eager for separation ; now they are enthusiastic In favor of unity.
Defending his objection to aceptlng the proposed federal constitution without
amendments such as those suggested in his resolutions, Mr. Reid said lie had
to draw a very sharp distinction between measures, such as those dealt w^ith in
the New South Wales parliament, and a measure of a federal *chai^cter. The
federal constitution cannot be altered. It is a deed of partnership entered into
voluntarily by independent persons to unite upon a certain basis. That is very
different to the case of a man who pursues his business alone.
Mr. Reid based his demand for a simple majority in the federal senate on
the fact that the proposed three-fifths majority would tend to create rather than
prevent parliamentary deadlocks. " What," he asked, " is the functio-n of par-
■ liament ? What is the principle of two houses ? The device of two houses may
be intended to throw a wholesome influence of restraint over the legislation ; in
certain cases to act as a very strong brake, so that nothing can be done until
the people are appealed to. But in this parliamentary constitution that appeal
to the country was maimed and imperfect. A deadlock might have been wholly
caused by an utterly irrational attitude of hostility on the part of the senate to
a measure of reform of almost universal popularity. The action of the house of
representatives in insisting upon the completion of that piece of legislation may
not only be eminently wise in itself, but also, as I have said, by the unmis-
takable verdict of the whole of the constituency of Australia be approved, and
yet under that constitution the senate was put in the position which could only
be described as that of a, dictator." The basis of the franchise of the senate
was declared radically unsound. " The constituency which elected the senate
was in no sense a constituency of the people. The experience of 'election by the
legislatures of the United States to the senate has not been such as to make
that method of election one of a satisfactory character. Then the franchise for
the house of representatives was also one of an exceedingly questionable char-
acter. It was not on the basis of one man one vote, or <me adtilt one vote.
All the inconsistent electoral systems of the different colonies w^re allowed free
play in connection with the national house of representatives. I think we can
all fairly* say now that one of the essentials of a national house of representa-
tives is a uniform national franchise. Then, again, one of the vital principles
of every British community, from the mother country extending to every colony
possessing responsible government, is responsible government. Responsible gov-
ernment is the very essence of democratic control. I look through the consti-
tution of 1891 in vain for any recognition of that principle, and looking through
the debates I fihd that the matter had been full and ably debated, and it was
deliberately left out so that freedom might be allowed for possible evolutions of
the future which might cause the change from responsible government to some
other form of government such as in America, where the president is master of
his Ministers, and the representatives of the people have not the slightest con-
trol over them. If the future suggests so radical a change in the principles of
a constitution, that change should not come from Ministers or from Governors-
General, but from the deliberate will of the people expressed in the name of
the constitution."
Alluding to the power given to the federal senate to amend money bills for
any service other than the ordinary service of the State, Mr. Reid said : "Only
consider what questions and what disputes may arise. If a bill Is sent to the
senate and it contains one item which the senate considers beyond the deflniti(m
of the annual services in tfie defence of its rights and privileges the peoato
-:i&L
AUSTRALIAN FEDERATION . 387
might feel it incumbent upon It to throw it out, on the ground .that it broke the
constitution and included seryicee which ought not to be included in the meas-
ure. These difficulties do not appear to the popular imagination but they are
serious, and may lead to a great deal of misunderstanding. I would liRe to
make the practice in the case of all money bills uniform— uniform in the sense
that they should not be amended by the senate, because if financial bills of any
kind are to be open to the ordinary treatment of amendment in the second
chamber, the financial basis and control in the lower house are gone. One of
the best attributes of the British system of government to-day is the admirable
stability of the public finances, and that admirable stability, which is the envy
of the whole world, is mainly to be attributed to the fact that the finances are
shaped absolutely in one chamber.
"With reference to the judicial appeal, I may state that in the bill as framed
at Adelaide there was a clause expressly framed prohibiting appeals from the
courts of the States to the Privy Council. That clause was removed in Mel-
|>oume, and as the bill now stands the plaintiff in an action could appeal to the
Frlvy Council, whilst the defendant could appeal to the High Court of Austral-
ia. The bill in that respect requires amendment. Unless this High Court of
Australia is to be a final court for private appeal, with a reservation that there
•hall be the right of appeal to the Queen in certain cases, then' the position is
not a sound one. If it was seen by Her Majesty's advisers that the High Court
was establishing a principle of law of a pernicious character, than Her Majesty
should have the power to take the case to the Privy Council In order to set the
High Court right. I say that If the High Court is not to be a High Court of
Appeal for private litigation, then it should have nothing to do with private liti-
gation, because the more you multiply the means of litigation the worse it is
for those who have to pay for it, and especially for those wEo could not
afTord it"
The whole speech occupied about three and a half hours in delivery, and
was very well received, not only in New South Wales, but also in the other
colonies, especially Queensland, where it is generally considered as preparing
the way for a wider and more complete union of the colonies than was possible
at the outset, when 'many of the more ardent Australian federalists, In tiiieir
eagerness to accomplish the object of their desire, unwittingly overlboked the
many difficulties in the way of its complete achievement.
THE QUEBEC CONFERENCE
The following announcement was made in the House of Commons by Sir
Louis Davirs, June 1, 1898 :—
"It is within tbo knowledge of the House that at the request of the Prem-
ier and of my colleagues, I went to Washington to have some preliminary ne-
gotiations with the authorities there looking to the establishment of a Joint
commission between the two countries for the purpose of settling existinsr dif-
ferences which have been unsettled for years back. I went with that deter-
mination and with those instructions, and had interviews with the President
and with the officers that were specially appointed to meet the British ambassa-
dor and myself to consider these different questions. We sat in consultation
every day while I was there, and went over these troublesome questions on^
after the other, discussing them generally, and, I am glad to say, in a very
cordial spirit of good-will and amity. I can frankly say that the best of dis-
position was shown on the part of Mr. Casson and General Foster, who repre-
sented the President on the occasion, to discuss with great fairness all those
several questions. After lengthy and prolonged discussions we came to an
agreement, which was put in proper form and duly signed by the seven gentle-
mon on the commission, and which has been forwarded to each of the Govem-
ments of Great Britain and of the United States for their final approval. I have
no reason to doubt that that approval will be given in both cases, and if it is,
there will bo a joint commission appointed by the Governments of the United
States and of Great Britain, which will meet at an early day for the puri>o8e of
discussing and settling and putting in the form of a treaty, if possible, all the
several questions which were discussed at our preliminary meeting. The city
of Quebec has been chosen as the place of meeting."
The Joint High Commission met at the City of Quebec, August 23, 1898,
composed an follows :—
For the United States : Senator Fairbanks, of Indiana, Chairman ; Senator
George Gray, of Delaware ; Congressman Nelson Dingley, of Maine : Gen. John
W. Foster, former Secretary of State and ex-Mlnlster to Spain, Russia and
Mcxfco ; John A. Kasson, of Iowa, former Minister to Germany and Austria,
and Jefferson Coolldge, of Massachusetts, former Minister to France.
For Canada : Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Sir Richard Cartwright, Sir Louis Davies
and John Charlton, M. P.
For Kngland : Lord Herschell.
For Newfoundland : Sir James T. Winter, Premier.
Lord Herschell was elected chairman. After holding a number of meetings
an adjournment was made for about ten days, and the Commission re-assembled
September 20th. Senator Gray having been appointed a member of the Peace

Some Eloquent Facts • •
25 years ago the chief products of Manitoba were the furs of
wild animals. Today these products are Wheat, Cattle,
Butter, Cheese.
In 25 years the population increased from 12,000 to 200,000 ;
the land under cultivation from 10,000 acres to 2,000,000
acres ; the number of schools from 16 to 982.
The Province has a municipal system which is simple, economical and efficient.
Taxation in all parts is therefore reduced to a minimum. I^nds can be bought in
nearly every district, on easy terms of pavment. Prices range from I2.50 per acre
upward. Free Homesteads are still available in some parts of the Province.
