MAKES SENSATION

coygne’s Decision

WITH .REGARD TO COLONEL STRATHEY OF ROYAL SCOTS.

Permits Him to Resign and Trans-

fers Him to the Reserve.

[Srecrant to Toe Examiner.]

Aug. 25.—Cclonel Hutton had only been in office one dsy when he undid the most sensational decision of his predecessor, the dismissal of Colone]

Ovrrawa,

Strathey from the command of the Royal Scots, Montreal.

A militia general order, signed by Hutton, revokes Gascoygne’s order, and substitutes the following : “Lieut.-Colonel Strathey is permitted to resign his ap- pointment as commandiag officer of this corps, and is transferred to the reserve of officers.”

Strathey’s name, therefore, goes back on the Militia list, but his loss of position as A. D. C. to the Governor-General is per- manent.

Another has been appointed to the com mand of the Royal Canadian Infantry, vice Maunsell retired.

Uncle Sam andthe Aliens.

Orrawa, Aug 24.—Ths action of the Customs’ officers at Port Huron, Michigan, in refusing entrance to a number of Cana- dian agricultural labourers who were en route for the North West, has been refer~ red to the Bominion Covernment and will no doubt form part of the discussion at the Quebec Conference, when the slien labour trouble comes up for consideration. The men deny that the arrangement with the Grand Trunk, by which they secured a low return fare, wae, a8 held by the United States Customs officers, a violation of the alien labour Jaw of the United States, and have made applications to the

| Dominion Government for compensation.

British Shipping.

Hatizsx, August 24.—The Montreal Journal of Commerce says “how com« pletely the British dominate the seas is shown by the fact that the British ton- nage is 16,113,958, while that of the world ig but 26,561,250. Great Britain bas 284 | Wooden steam vessels, of a tonnage of 95,~ 226; the United States 219, and tonnage .114,358, Great Britain has 3,466 iron steam vessels, tonnage I41,* , 358; the United States 263 vaseels, tennage 304,097. Great Britain has 3,825 asteel steamships, tonnage 7,808,148, the United Siates 231, tonnage 615,739. Great Bri- tain’s steamers of all kinds number 7,702, tonnage 11,168,189; the United States 780 veasels, tonnage 1,175,762. Of sailing vessels Great Britain has 3,441, tonnage 2,497,123; the United States 2,370 vessele, tonnage, 1,272,915. In 1829 American’ ships carried 93 per cent. of American imports and 86 per cent of exports ; in 1861, 60 per cent. of the former and 72.1 per cent. of the lat« ter; in 1896, 15.7 per cent. of imports and 8 5 per cent, of exports. Now only 15 per cent of imports and 5 per cert. of exports are carried in American steam vessels, I'he carrying trade of the States flourished ia the early days of the republic, when it was protected by discriminating duties against foreign vessels; it languished under the policy of marine reciprocity aad free trade in ships. The situation, says the Ameri- can Economist, suggests the policy of dis- criminating duties as @ means of restoring American merchant marine.
