MR. FISHER'S IMPERIALISM.

"POISONOUS LAURIER DOC- ' TRINE." Bj Teloeraph—Pres3 association—Copyrteht (Kcc. July 20, 10.10 p.m.) London, July 2G. The "Review of Reviews'" interview with Mr. Fisher, Prime- Minister of Australia, was accurately cabled. The- "Globe" says Australians have not been long in repudiating Mr. Fisher's sentiments. They fully realiso tho valuo of tho Imperial connection and have no belief in tho poisonous Laurier doctrine of taking all advantages and parting company in time of danger. Apparently Sir Wilfrid Laurier's views have captivated Mr.> Fisher.

TO EALLY THE REVOLUTIONISTS. (Rec. July 26, 11.10 p.m.) London, July 26. Sir John Quick, a former Commonwealth Attorney-General, in a speech at Plymouth, said Mr. Fisher, in tho "Review of Reviews," might speak for himself and a small clique of Socialists, but the statement was a perversion and gross misrepresentation of tho views of the great mass of tho Australian people and tho Australian Democracy.

Sir John Quick's explanation, was that the Socialistic party was threatening to depose Mr. Fisher from the leadership and an anti-British and anti-Imperial speech was a sort of rallying counterblast for the extremists and revolutionists. • (Rec.

The "Volksstcm," in referring to .Mr. Fisher's interview in the "Review of Reviews," declares that it (the "Volksstem") experienced a storm of criticism .from Ihe reactionary elements of the Empire because it had given, to the world an opinion which in Canada and elsewhere had long been common, and was not ratified by the Australian Pre-

LABOUR MEN INCREDULOUS. Melbourne, July 26. Mr. King O'Malley; Federal Minister for Home Affairs, declares that .Mr., Fisher's cabled interview was evoked by one of Mr. Stead's theosophical spooks.
