SHANGHAI, Feb. 25. -—'l‘hree thousand British regulars took up defence positions along the border of the international settlement hero tonight because of the situat- ion created by the arrival of Chiii-

'i‘he British line of defence was set up after o. request liiid been made by the Shanghai municipal COllllC" to the consuls of certain powers for nid in defence of the city. The British troops occupied ll 20 mile line, part of it running into Chinese territory surrounding the international settlement. ' The line was considered ‘ ‘ispensable to the defence of the city.

Within the line formed by the troops but outside the settlement, resides 8,000 foreigners. Also within this area is foreign owned property worth $16,000,000 gold. Defences along both the internat- ional and French settlements were strengthened anew with barbed wire entanglements and sand bags while machine guns were mounted at ‘strategic points. The French. erected wire entanglements along the entire boundary of their settle- ment which borders on the native section of the city. Twenty

Three more United States destroyers, the Preble, Noa and Hulbert arrived yesterday from Manila. _

A volunteer machine gun com- pany was mobilized this morning niitl held in readiness while British troops paraded two six inch motor liowitzers along the Bond. The precautions were taken mostly to guard against invasion by the de- feated troops of Marshal Sun (Julian-Fang.

More of the northern Chinese troops under General Chang Tsung- Chang, military governor of Shang- tung, arrived this morning and it was estimated that 8,000 will have reached the city by tonight. Of- ficers of the Shangtung forces said that the northern China battle squadron of 10 ships already had left Tsiiigtao, Shangtung territory, and was due very shortly at Woo- bung anchorage, off Shanghai. The vessels one of which is maimed by Russians, also are bringing consid- erable Shangtung land forces.

It was‘ reported that a clash oc- curred yesterday north of Kashiug between the nationalists and sold- iers of the defeated Marshal Sun Chuan-Fang. The engagement was not decisive, the northern army having been weakened by de- sertion and lowered morale. lt also was learned today that the tia- tionalists are operating troop trains between llangkow and Kash- lllg having captured some of the roiling stock formerly controlled by Sun.

The northern forces have retired tovSung Kiahg, only 28 miles from Shanghai. it is estimated that the strength there, is not more than 16,000 men and that quick re- inforcements from the hantun-

Col. Cantley Shows‘ Effect of Tariff Pol- icy on Nova Scotia Steel Industry — Masterly Attack on the Budget Made by Hon. H. H. Stevens.

(From Our Own Correspondent)

OTTAWA, Ont, Feb. 25. —<La8l evening the debate on the budget was carried on by Cantley, Pictou. Garland, Bow River, and Hon. Mr. Dunning Minister oi‘ Railways.

Discussing the tariff in relation to its effect on the ‘Maritime prov- inces, Mr. Cantley said that the -Novu ‘Scotin Steel and Coal Corn- puny supplied a considerable prop ot-tion of the agricultural steel used by the implement makers of Ont- ario and Quebec, but due to practi-

ings. lBuilders" of these house's, very best of steel workers, mechan- ics and fitters, are now in Detroit and other United States cities and ‘solely because Nova Scotia-was the victim of a pernicious tariff policy.

Mr. ICa-ntley next took up the question of coal and he appealed to the finance minister to take up the pitiiiuie situation which exlsttialld provide a remedy for the idleness which prevails. As many as 22 resolutions had been presented in the house of representatives, Wash- ington, for thc prevention of export of anthracite coal. it being realized that the supply was nearing ex- liaustion. ‘He wished it were all gone, a5 there was no reason why (lunatic. should buy, more especi- ally as the people of the United States did not want to sell it to us.

The high lights of the evening were furnished by Dunning who as a personality is exuberant of health and vigor and who makes up in a remarkable degree by elocu- tion and force of expression for the more substantial strength of argument. He is quick at repartee and is good at both the uptake and offtake.

Garland who preceded him had twitted the government for its Tory budget, for going back on its declaration for the lowering of the tariff. and for departing from that true principle o_f taxation of in comes. Dunning parried by state- ments that the tariff commission had not yet reported on most of the subjects submitted to it. Wihen challenged by Progressives for a declaration of government tariff policy he said that a gun had been held up yesterday to the head of the government and it did not pro- pose to be frightened from the stand it had taken, and left the at- tltude of the government on the question of tariff as much in the air as ever.

Amid many interruptions and some hot passages, the debate was madept leazst very lnterestinglfbe Hon. ‘H. lI-l. Stevens who had yes- terday evelllllg adjourned the de- bate occupied the floor foi- nearly two hours and his attack on the budget was masterly and exceed- ingly effectlve. An interesting con- trctemps between himself and ‘Mr. Forks on a former Progressive re‘!- oiutlon condemning the govern- ment for not carrying out its plat- form of l9il9occurred in which the latter got very much the worst of it. Mr. Forks declared he was not responsible for it whereupon Stev- ens scathlngiy referred to him. now a cabinet minister, as repudiat- ing his own former position and that of his party. In a keen analy- sis of the budget he showed con- clusively that despite frequent boaetings and broadcasting, there had been no reduction of the pub- lic debt, no reduction of taxation. and no surpluses. The former two on. the contrary had been increas- ed and the last mythical.

The conclusion was somewhat seirsationiil and exciting. Dealing with the water power question. Stevens emphatically stated that had it not been for discussion in the house two years ago when ii proposed agreement had been laid [on the tabla of the house and the subsequent interposition of Trem-
