Admiralty Inlet. and Hoods Canal. placing at their mercy all that mnagnilicent chain of islands. inlets. bays. and rivers for which Ibis region is so famous. So important has British Columbia become that already two great lines of steamships have been established from the terminus of the Canadian Pacific Railroad at Vancouver. one to long Kong and Japan. the other to Australia. One of these will flood the country with Chiuesio emigrants. and the other will bring a large and worthless population from Australia. which. settling in Br tish Columbia and encroaching ott oar territory. that portion commanded by British guns will pass out of our hands. Ileence it becomes of vital importance to establish in this region one of the largest naval depots. to say nothing of military posts. for the defense of the coast. which will confine intruders to their legitimate domain. I do not hesitate to say that the late rapid movements of the British Government in strengthening their naval depot at Esquinuit. building heavy works commanding the Strait of Fea. indicates a policy antagonistic to the United States. namely. to obtain possession of that territory which they claimed il 1858.
