(Canadian Preaa Despatch.) LONDON, October 17.-The British
government will not make any official representation to the United States cancernlng the German submarine U- 63 pending an announcement of its iittltude by the American government. iiiiiil Vi-scount Grey, secretary of state for foreign affairs in the house of lords today.
in reply' in ti question concerning
tho attitude oi' the United States io- waril the British patrols Viscount Grey t-.alii that the United States admitted that ilrliisli ships were not exceeding ilu-.lr iogal rights under international ltiw, but that the Anierlcan govern- incnt coinpluineil of their presence oit the ground oi' the irrntion which the t-ouilnur-.il presence of belligerent, war- shlps off the coast of the United states naturally unused in a neutral 1-ouillry.
lie declared that the United`States
had requesteti Great Britain, very om- phatlcaliy, not to patrol oft' its coast. iiiiil said that instructions were sent to llrlilsh ships there to avoid causing iin_v iiunecessary lrrltatioil and to com- ply, as far as possible. with the Ain- t-rlvan request.
"With regard to the U-53." the fo-
ri-.lgn secretary continued:
"\'Ve do not know what steps were
iuken by the United States for pat- rolling its waters, or in regard to her i-nmmunder coming into -port and se-
curing information from newspapers..
We tio not know whether it is true iliut American wariihlps get out of tht. i.-uhmarlne’ii way. That is a matter icr the Amcricao government only ann irc assume that government is making lull inquiries. We also assume it will announce its attitude in due course. Pending that we do not propose to iiuike any official representation on the subject of the submarine."
The question concerning -the Ger-
man submarine raid in American wa- ters was raised by Baron Charléli Be- rest'ord, former commander of the Bri- tish home iieet Earl Grey. former gov-
ernor-general 'of Canoga. and others Iitiron Beresford aske whether Bri- tish cruisers were removed from Am- cricaii waters owing to American ob- jections, and if so. what steps the go- vernment proposed for the protection' of llrltish vessels. He criticised the iuilunarins as at least curt, and said

A special committee of the Cha:
that American ideas of neutrality were eurious. | Earl Grey wante.i an assurance that the report that the American comnian-' ders of destroyers had acceded to the request of the German submarine com- mander to clear out of the wav gm) give him room to blow ilp ships was untrue. ‘ |
'l‘iie foreign secretary said, in reply io Lord ilcresfordk-i question "the best '
ihliig l can do is to read n summary' oi what actually passed between tht. ifnitod States govcrnnient and ills Mn-l jesi.y's government on tlils siihjcct siiii-e thc war img-in, and what wi-_ un- derstand the view oi’ the Utiltnil Statics governnielit to ho.” | Viscount Grey then read u statement
which may be summarised as follows:
"Tile whole inattcr seenis to ho ln zt
conceriid. it is evidenly thc 1-use that a German submarine visited n United States port, nntl subsequently sank llritlsh and neutral vessels off the American const. We do ndt know what precautions were tnkcn in pre- vent the s.1hniarlne frotii obfainlne: supplies or information from the news- papers or otherwise to the movement
of merchant ships off the coast. Norl do we know whether American ships ot' war facilitated ine operation of tho' submarine by getting out of tho way as reported in the press. it is only the United States government aud| their officials who can .ascertain thc facts. and until we know what the facts and what view the United States government_i.ake of the proceedings of the German submarine we do not propose to make any official repre-, sentatlon on the subject which in the absence of further information could only be hypothetical although it is obvious that the issues involved are' very important. Of course. the aillesf altogether have made representation expressing very rully to the United States government their view with rc- gard to the danger of permitting sub- marines of the war powers to visit ports of the neutral powers. That was dono before this particular Ger- man submarine arrived _ The reply of the United States government was! not favorable to the views of the ai-_ lies, on that point, but it is possible there may be a i`urthor discussion on the subject. Therefore. when i say that' we do not propose to make ofli- cial representation. until we know the full facts and the view of the United States government, that applies only tothe special proceedings of the Ger- man submarine, which we understand sie itow the subject of special cou- sideration of the ifnited States govern- ment who are themselves ascertaining the full facts of the case and will l suppose lu due course let it be known to the world what view they take. | "We shall then be able to decide
ject. and if so what the nature of this
lead to irritation.

laying of the rails on this approach and the erection oi' the sea-wall along the top of the pier. The pier consists of the approach und the landing slip and the total length is 2740 feet, of which the approach occupies 2.000 feet and the slip 740. The slip is colli- posed of nine concrete "cribs" or square boxes 100 x 35 feet, and 33 feet deep. with timber bottoms, anti they are divided into smaller compartments ea(-li 10 fcot square. These cribs were built ut Point Dil Chone aint brougiit over to (‘aileton Point. where they were set in place and filled with quarry stone. This filling process has been practically completed. A year ago the water was visible over the entire surface now covered by the pier and it conceptioti can be formed of the progress that has been made since then when it is stated that stone amounting to uwnrds of 250,000 tons has been handled and put into posi- tion. The overhead trolley suspen- ded between towers of 95 and 110 feet high respectively. and used for the purpose of distributing this stone. has s carrying capacity of upwards of ten tons. some of the large slabs of rock in the pier weighing as much as this. The sen-wall on the pier will be six feet high and will protect the cars ‘from the sprays in very rough wes- ther.

Rogers. a ciei'k in the accounting de- partment of the Intercoloniai Railway. was shot and killed in the basement of the general offices this afternoon and Lieut.-John E. Merrill is in the police station charged v.-ith murder.
The tragedy' occurred soon after the
arrival of the Ocean Limited from the east.. How the soldier came to the general offices is unknown. Passersbv saw him standing in the doorway bc-
they passed him he would salute them_ noting like a man under the influence oi liquor. Thos. Walsh and F. J. Landry. clerks. were going down to the first floor in the elevator. They heard it commotion at the front of the elevator on the basement floor 'ind instructed the elevator boy to ialte them to thc basement. Walsh stepped from the elevator and as he did he said, “He has got his gun." As lie said this he stepped back. pushing Landry into the elevator.
Landry says he came up on the
elevator and got off' at the flist floor and ran to -the head of the stairs which lead to the basement. Here. he said, he grabbed the officer who was coming up and called to Walsh to help him hold him. With the as- sistance of Walsh he held the soldier until additional help came. A crowd gathered around and a police call was sent in.
Dr. F. J. Whitte was quickly on the
scene but decided that it wa s no use removing Rogers to the hospital as death was imminent. He was taken
