Opposed to Annexation.

Ottawa, Can., Aug. 4.—Sir J. R. Somers Vine of London, England, one of the secretaries of the imperial institute, is here on business for the government. He recently arrived at Vancouver from Australia. Speaking of the question of annexation of Canada to the United States, he said he found that the government of British Columbia was so bitterly opposed to any such idea that the province would secede from the dominion and maintain herself as a separate co’ony before hearing of auy such movement.
