THE POSITION OF CANADA. EX-PREMIER'S SUGGESTION. (Received Last Night, 5.5 o'clock.) OTTAWA, January 7. Sir Charles Tupper, ex-Premier of Canada, in an interview, declared that it would be a great mistake on the part of Canada to create her own Navy as a method of assisting the Motherland. He suggested, as an alternative, the construction of the most rapid rtfiam-er-cruisers afloat in peace time:, so that, in the event of hostilities, they could form a fast service between Halifax and BVitain. The steamers should he built with' a view to being converted into cruisers, which would guard the grain routes of the Atlantic.
