More Honours.
London, May 9. The Lord Mayor of Manchester presented Mr Deaken, Sir W. Laurier and Dr. Jamieson with the freedom of the city at the Hotel Cecil, emphasising it as a personal tribute and a mark of affectionate regard and brotherly feeling for the colonies, with whom they wished to foster a common sentiment. Mr Deakin acknowledged the honour and regretted his inability to go to Manchester, where he would have been brought into touch with the most interesting development of local government and also become acquainted with a great industrial community. Dr Jamieson said he would like to see Manchester, which enjoyed a practical monopoly of the cotton trade in South Africa. The Refusal of Preference. London, May 9. The Daily Mail states that the Canadian Minister for Finance is leaving Ottawa to negotiate with Germany and Austria for a new intermediate tariff. The Mail adds that if Germany grants Canada the concessions which England has refused, the preference on Britain as against Germany falls from 50 per cent, to 10 per cent.
