(l)V KI.BCTIUCTJJUWK.U'H.— COI'VIHGHT). Ottawa, September 11. The majority of the Dominion Cabinet have agreed that it is desirable to place Canada at once in a state of thorough defence.

Ottawa, September 12. Sir John Macdonald, Premier of Canada, will probably visit England at an early date with the object of urging upon Lord Salisbury the desirableness of granting several millions to the Government of the Dominion for the purpose of constructing strategic and commercial railways, which should be part of the system of defence.
