NOT DEAD YET.
By Tdejrrapb-—, Association.Copyright. (Received February 20, 11.5 p.m.)
London, February 20. Lord Emmott, who represented the Government at a banquet tendered to Sir John Taverner, said there were no signs that British enterprise was dead. The Mother Country was not yet a back number, but the habits of crabbing old England tended to arouse the disrespect of the daughter nations. Britain received with real emotions the recent offers of help to bear the burdens of defence, which were magnificently generous. Sir Joseph Ward, Sir William Hall Jones, and Mr. T. Mackenzie attended the banquet.
