ABERDEEN ON CANADA. His Lordship Says the Canucks an Sober and Loyal. a Talk* About th. Orator*. Prohibition Imperial Federation and other ThJu c *. A reporter of the London Cmadim* Oafette interviewed the Karl of Aberdeen on hi* arrival ia England, and the follow- ing oon Terieuon took place : " I sat JOQ visited the ozofteri at KU- lanwy, among otberi ?" " TM ; bat I ought perhapi to cay that in tha interview between Mr. McLeod and myielf, which I Me in the last Canadian Odtettt, Mr. McLeod torn* to have laid a little more of himeclf than he Mid to me. I bsv* no doubt it is perfectly correct, and when I atked him a* to the dark tide of tbe Crofter stltlemeni. be did say there WM none. But thai we* not always Mr. Mo- Lood's opinion. I spoke to a great number of tbe orators, vititing them individually, and it wooJd not, of ooarte, be reasonable to tappote that they all ipoke ia the same tnulewr de-rote manner ai did Mr. McLeod. It wai nataral and inevitable that, at Ant, amid new and ttraDge lorroondinKi, there ahoald have been difficnlliae to overcome For instance, they arrived in the North - weet at a time of tbe year the month of July which did not facilitate their imme- diate protpectc. Then they had one bad crop. Bat it 11 very gratifying to Hod that deip te ihtae initial difficulties and dia- eoarajjcmenM, tbe prevailing tsntimtnt among the ore fieri ii one of bopefalne** ; and, what i< very important for the txten- ioacf the lyMem of aided colonization, they aoderitand now, a* they did not teem to do at firet, that tbit colonization scheme matt be carried oat on oommon -tente baii- principle*." D HIOH UCBSIZ. " Too, no doubt, it* omtthing of the working of the to-oalled prohibition in the North wti?" Well, of ooarte I kept ear* and syea open for everything, bat I matt oonftat I feel aome diffidence in spoking publicly on tacb a topic. I went to Canada merely M a visitor and I have no with to appear to obtrude my view* upon the Canadian people. Still, if you really deeire my opinion, I would say that in the prohibi- tion district* oomplainlt are made, and evidently not witboat cease, that tbe per- mit tjiiem doee not work aatuf actorily . It it obviootly reasonable that there should be permit*, hot when is the line to be drawn 1 One man may gel a permit for a caae of wine, nail the permit ooteide and keep on refilling the oate. A* it is, there re no doubt many evasiont of the law though in the Northwest, a* in On- tario, I wa* delighted to note the eobriely of the people, even when brought together in tooh mttses a* at tbe great Toronto show a remarkable Ulottration, by the way, of Canada's fertility and agri coliartl progree*. There wa*. deepne the orowdt, the moet perfect order and good behavior ; and it should be borne in mind that no intoxicating liquor* were allowed to be cold on the ground*, to that the adop tion of that tyttem on this ocoaion may be regarded a* a complete suooee*. and it i* very interesting that the committee shoold have felt able to introduce and carry out tb.it rule. I foand tbe tame thing at the Central Fair, Ottawa, another indication of healthy public opinion on tne question of temperance. ' How would I deal with the temperance question in Canada T Well. I hardly like to presume to give an opinion, bat to tar a* I oan judge tbe high licence system i* the one 1 would advocate, and I would apply it to tbe whole of tbe Dominion. I have reason for believing that tome of tboe* who used to advocate tringeat measure* of prohibition are now oommg round to the high lie* nee system By it you make thoee who hold license* interested in checking evasion* of the law. A* it U, I am tore the polio* have great difficulties in carrying out the law, and I hope the Canadian people will not leave the question until they bave put it on a tttit factory fooling. They have already **t a noble txample in their sffort* to desl with thit and other questions of social legisla- tion." IS TM Iy L'lMALT OBT VXt C*BLEM T " Of oonrte after we had visited tbe Northwest we went through to tbe Pacific Coait, and were much pleated with what we taw. I notice that something i* said in the papers about the Etquunalt dry dock being attht* and mutt be replaced by a larger dock. That it, I would tu<gett, an overstatement. When I wa* there II. M. 8. Amphion had recently, antes* I am mil- taken, been in the dry dock for two month* receiving neoeetary repair*. There it, no doabt, wilh tbe new Canadian I'eoiflu mail service and other development* on tbe Faoiflo Coatt, plenty of scope for a new dock, and I bave reason to believe that in very abort time \onwill hear that the requirement* for the extension of accom- modation in this direction will be ade- quately met." THI 1BALTT Or OF CAS1ELUI LOTiLTT. " You have praised the sobriety of the Canadian people, what hat your lordship to say about their loyally T" ' That wa* to me moet tlr iking and gratifying. Take for initano* tbe tohool* we visited in Ontario. I never heard children sing ' God Save the Queen ' with more heartiness and precision. At Winni- peg I had the honor of being invited to a luuoheon. and I shall never forget the way the company men of all parties and creed* rote and tang the National Anthem. There WM a twiog and a reality about the proceeding* which would have gone to the heart of every loyal Briton a* it did to mine. Even, a* regard* the Com- mercial Union movement which ia some- timee pointed to a* a movement hostile to the British connection, tboee who advo- cate it do Dot in their public altertnoea, to far at I oan judge, express any desire to alter the pneenl relations of Canada to the Mother Country. Of oooree, toe obvious query is, ' Can you Hop with Com- mxroial I nioo, and not go on to Political Union ?' " n IMPUIAL rtDZKiTiox riiaiBix ? Did it strike you that Ihit feeling of loyalty was likely to take practical lhap* in any measure of Imperial unity T" " Well. 1 met good many Imperial Federation trisadc. and 1 am mywlf a member of tbe Lamgm and hearty Bap- porter of Ike principle of Imperial onily ; Ad thi* feeling of loyalty and Attachment to Britain teems to me to be a guarantee that if a leatibls scheme could be devised to* Cana.li.ns would taoorte U. At the tame lime it mutt not be ignored thai there ia a contideranU amount of oiitniv ing in many quarter* in Canada, including the moat attached to thi* ootiniry. u to lh* praolibility of Imperial Federation One method of Federation, which would prove acceptable ia many qoarteri of Caotda, would be a doable column tariff within tbe Empire eacn Imperial country discriminating to tome extent in tavor of all other Imperial coontrie* at against tbe foreigner*. Bat in th* present state of public opinion in Eng- Und, ihi* oan hardly be looked upon M feasible, and Ibit fact inducts a good many Canadian* to bold aloof from the Imperial Federation movement. They oontider Ihtl to forward it on that bails would be mil- leading, and I think it mutt be admitted thai at preeent there i* force in that. With regard to the Province of Qatbeo, to far as I oonM gather, the feeling of loyalty it nowhere expressed more strongly' though there see ran little disposition towards Imperial Federation among tbe French Canadian*. Partly, no doubt, that may b* because they do not fully understand the movement, and the word " Imperial " it perhaps unfortunate. Some Canadiani stem inclined to regard it in the een*e of CuHtrism and centralization, and I tried to point oat how entirely different it* real character and object is from that. " Wilh regard to the race difficulty.' which ha* certainly been the cauie of cutty. I may say that what I MW and beard make* me very hopeful that the growing sense of Canadian nationality will tend gradually to overcome it. THI X KDTLBT tCAU " Of court*, when I wa* in Canada, the McKmley Bill was the universal topic ; bet the perturbation tl tint created, especially in Ontario and Quebec, teems happily to b* diminishing, and no doabt there* alt of the Congrettional election* in the United Slate* will not hind-r this tendency of Canadian opinion. Twenty year* ago, when the Reciprocity Treaty wai rescinded, the Canadian pe- pie were told that their whole trade woold be destroyed, bat Can- eat, with her unlimited rttoaroct) and c alive energy, proved equal to in* emer gency, and no doubt the will do so again. Of oouree, whatever their tariff differences may be. Canav'a and the Coiled Utates must remain neighbors, and have intimate social and commercial relation* the one wilh tbe other.

In 186y Finest* won the Champagne Htakvs, Fenian the Bvlmont Stakes and Olenelg the Jerome 6 lake*. In ItWt Mr. Belmont retired from tbe turf, and in 1887 from the presidency of the American Jockey Club, which be had b " for over twenty years. The tame year he surprised the turf world by baying G*org Oyster for 10.000 and Raoeland for 117. 000. With these bone* and a large nam ber of hi* own breeding, he again took a prominent place on the turf, and from that time on held hi* own again*! the greatest racing static*. His Doe estate tt Babylon, known a* " The Nursery," and his txten tive breeding farm in Kentucky turned oat many high class youngsters. Mr. Bel mom's chief pride on tbe tort was to brved hi* own horeee, and he ha* often bt beard to aay, I would rather win pore* race wilh a oolt of my own breeding than a stake worth thootand* with a bone I par chased." mrcisr wnraraa*. In 1888 Kaoeland't victories included tb* Emporium, Ihe Melroee and tbe Grand National handicap* and the Spindrift, Htockton, Barnegat, Raritan and Jerome lakes.
