CANADA’S NEW SCHEME.
A Branch of the Navy League of Great
Britain Organized.
Toronto, March 29. —-A branch of the
Navy League of Great Britain was organ-
ized here by some prominent citizens. It
is proposed to ask the Canadian govern-
ment to provide, when it subsidizes a line
of fast Atlantic steamers this year to run
between Canada. and England, that the
vessels shall be ‘suitable to equip as armed
cruisers in case of war. There are 70,000
fishermen and sailors in Canada whom it
is proposed to diill as a naval reserve to
help England in case of W111.
It is pointed out that should England
become eng 1'{131 in war with Russia or
some nation by which she is now largely
supplied with grain that source of supply
would be cut off, and Canada’ 5 grain ex-
ports would be gicatly insieased, and Can-
ada should make some provision to look
after her merchant marine, the value of
which would then be greatly enhanced and
which Would be impciiled in case of war.
”he plan for dr; liing the proposed Cana~
dian naval rcscr vc is similar to that now
followed by the militia service.
The Grant Memorial.
Boston, March 29,—The Massachusetts
militia will not participate to any general
extent in the dedication of the Grant me-
morial in New York. Several companies,
including the Lancers and the First corps
of cadets, will go at their own expense;
but, while the governor has been invited
to attend with his staff and has accepted
the invitation, it is claimed that there has
been no such invitation received by Gov-
ernor Wolcott as in his opinion Would war-
rant his sending a special message to the
legislature asking for an appropriation for
the state militia to go to New York.
Corbett and Fitz May Meet Again.
Dallas, March 29,—Thc friends of Cor-
bett still believe that Jim can whip Fitz-
simmons and that if the two meet again
Corbett will regain the title of world’s
champion. And it is said to be not at all
unlikely that the two may face each other
once more in the ring. This is the opinion
of Dan Stuart, who says the probabilities
are that they will meet in the near future
for a side bet of $20, 000 or more. When
the money is up and there is no chance
left for theatiical display, Stuart will go
after the fight with a suitable purse.
His Friends Paid the Debt.
Bangor, Mo. , March 29 ——'\l 1111a 11 Da-
vis, a man well along in years who has
been in jail for three yeais and a. half for

against him, has just been released. A
few days ago he was get out of jail on a
writ of habeas corpus based on a legal
technicality, and now his friends have set-
tled the judgment. Davis, when released,
was jubilant over the fact, but did not
know how it Was brought about.
