THE BRAZILIAN EXHIBITION.

Reason for not Sending British Squadron.

London. June 14.

In the House of Commons, Viscount Curzon drew attention to the fact that a Japanese squadron was going to Rio Janeiro in hon- our of the forthcoming exhibition, and suggested that the Admiralty should reconsider ita decision not to send a squadron from Bermuda.)

Col. Amery replied that the Admiralty considered that adequate representation would necessitate the despatch of a squadroo, with no fewer than two battle-cruisers, which would cost £50,000, and had therefore regretfully decided that a squadron should not be sent.

ANTI-DUMPING LEGISLATION.

The fact that the decision was only secured by a amall majority of the Cabinet after five months' discussion foreshadows a keen debate on Protection between the two wings of the coalition.
