CANADA.
[BY ELECTRIC TEIVKGRH'ir-COPYRIGHT.] Ottawa, April 0. TitE Canadian House of Commons has rejected a motion affirming the right of the Dominion to make its own commercial treaties. The Hon. G. E. Foster, Minister of Finance, opposed the motion, on the ground that it was an assertion of the independence of the Dominion. The Commandant to the Canadian Militia, in his report to Parliament, says the organisation of the forces is deplorable, but the personnel of the various corps is good. The arms used by the men are of an obsolete typo, and the Dominion is actually without a single heavy gun of the modern class. Ho also declares that a large Dortion of the armaments provided by England is useless.
