Ottawa, February 28\u2014The House this afternoon passed Mr.Cochrane's Good Roads Bill through Committee of the Whole, and it stands for third reading.The Liberals opposéd it vigorously.Section six, which empowers the Minister, with the approval of the Guvernor-in-Council to undertake the construction of new highways or improvement of existing \u2018roads, was especially opposed.Mr.Carvell declared that the Minister would thereby be given power to sway votes.He might undertake construction\u2019 of a five dollar culvert, or other local and trivial work for political purposes.Mr.Macdonald moved to strike the clause out on the ground that it was contrary to the spirit of the B.N.A Act.The clause was sustained by a vote of 52 to 48 J Earlier Mr.G.P.Baker, of Brome, sharply criticized the action of the Quebec Government in its allocation of $10,000,000 for roads, It was a dodge for electioneering purposes, he said, and would not materially increase the amount of aid actualy given.On a motion to go into supply, Mr.Oliver brought in an amendment deal- in with western rallway freight rates r.Oliver's amendment demanded that the recent reduction on freight Yates on grain fo Duluth and Minneapolis, be extended to wheat and oate for grinding in bond and for consumption in the United States, as well as for export, and that barley and flax rates also be reduced.The government refused to accept this, and after a debate, which lasted until midnight, the House divided and the amendment was defeated by a vote of 84 to 54.The House then adjourned.NOTES.Progress is being made in preparing for the reférence on the marriage question to the Supreme Court.Mr.Eugene Lafleur, X.C., who argued the Delpit case, will he associated with Mr.Wallace Nesbitt, K.C., in presenting the case from the Dominion side, while Mr.P.B.Mignault, K.C., of Montreal, will argue that the powers concerned reside in the prov- Inces.Other counsel will be selected soon.; To Protect\u2019 Canada\u2019s Interests.Prompt.steps have been taken by the government to as far as possible safeguard the interests of Canada and Canadian shipping, as affected by the application of the Chicago Sanitary District to the United States Secretary of War for authority to withdraw 10.000 cubic feet of water per second from Lake Michigan for the purposes of the Chicago Drainage Canal.It is officially announced tonight that the government of Canada made an an application to the government of the United States, through the British Ambassador at Washington, for an extension of the time in which Canada might present objections to the Chicago project.A reply has been received irom the Seeretary of War, extending the time to the date suggested by Canada, and the Wearing will commence on Wednesday, March 27, at 10.30 a.m.The government is - accordingly making arrahgements to have the case on behalf of Canada present, and will send representatives to Washington, Rural Mail Delivery.A bold and comprehensive plan of reorganizing the rural mail service is being framed by the Post Office Department.The Laurier government adopted the measure hastily in the heat of a general election and estab lished routes haphazard, as application was made for them here and there.Under Mr.Pelletier, plans ure being 1aid for a great extension of the service, but an

of dynamite, it was reported here tonight, were discovered attached to the trucks of a Boston & Maine Railroad freight car here today by a car inspector, who was examining the wheels.The car, which arrived here last Saturday, loaded with paper from Bellows Falls, Vtpassed through Lawrence, Mass., last Thursday, where it was made part of a train composed largely of cars loaded with woollen goods belonging to the American Woollen Company, whose workers are on strike Officials of the Boston & Maine Railroad were at once notified and steps taken, it is stated, to trace the other cars which had composed the train.The dynamite was found, according to the report, wrapped in heavy paper and tied to the tucks in such a way as to cause a wheel to eventualty rub away the paper and cause a piece of wire wrapped in the paper with the dynamite, to ignite from the friction of the wheel, but a miscalculation was evidently made by the would be dynamiters.The dynamite has been turned over to the special police of the Philadelphia & Reading Railway, who, with the railroad detectives of the New England roads, are endeavoring to trace its source.HORSES ARRIVE, & St John, N.B., Feb.28\u2014THe

Regard to Agricultural Machinery\u2014Offers to Manufacturers.: St Petersburg, Feb.28\u2014The bill prepared by the Minister of Com- | merce.embodying measures to en- \u2018cotirage the manufacture of agricultural machinery in Russia, was taken up in the Duma today.The draft ot the bill was submitted to the \u2018Cabinet in August, 1911.Tt proposes to permit the entry, duty free, of certain ma- | chines and machine parts, to offer manufacturers credit on easy terms, and to reduce taxes in their favor.In addition to these provisions, the bilt \u2018 NOW proposes a temporary reduction in the tariff on the whole range of farming machines after July 14, 1912.the date of the expiration of the present tarif\u2014to be prolonged indefinitely.The Duma financial committee proposed as an amendment that the reduction be prolonged only until the expiration of the Russo-German commercial \u2018treaty.Tt proposes also to .patch states, \u201cwa \u2018of five kilometr¢s® towards the Le-! for a bounty to manufacturers of harvesters and hinders.The debate, in which the Minister of Commerce participated.disclosed the attitude of the various Russian parties in respect to Russo-American trade relations.\u2018The Constitutional Democrat, M.Shigareff, declared that the measures were quasi-protective.The International Harvester Company, an American concern, had built immense works near Moscow.The bill, he said.favored this company at the expense of the smaller Russian manufacturers.Therefore the Constitutional Democrats would suppert that part of the bill dealing with the prolongation of the reduction in the tac- iff on agricultvral machinery, but would onpose industrial bovnties and a reduction of the industrial taxes, The Minister of Commerce, M.Timashoff, said that cheap machinery from abroad was not always available, as difficulties arise in forcign trade relations.For example.he continued, the present difficulty between Russia and the United States might lead tn & temporary cessation of trade relations between the two countries.and create obstacles ta the supply of for- i government refused to encourage home manufacture by taxing foreign machinery, but the system of bounties and reduction of taxes would produce the same result.M.Motoviloff, a member of the horses, said to be valued at $66.000.The Montrose also brought twenty animals are valuable

Feb.28.\u2014The offer of Le Comptoir Financier Franco-Canadian to negotiate the civic loan of $5000,- 000 on the Paris market at better terms than the Bank of Montreal was formally withdrawn to-day in a letter, signed by A.E.Forget, to the Board of Control.The offer was at 98 net with 3% per cent interest.The letter states that the firm has noted in the press that their offer had not been Duma and a large land owner, who was one of the speakers at the meeting on the Nationalist party on February 22, held in protest against the attitude of the United States in de- pouncing the treaty of 1832, referred to the injury done to Russia\u2019s pride by this act of the American government, and he insisted that some tangible protest must be made.During the subsequent debate, the Minister of Commerce defined the difference between a reduction of the tariff on machines and on parts, saying that the government rust guard against encouraging the special indus- stry of putting together in Russia machines, the parts of which were manufactured atroad.In the vote on the different proposals of the financial and agricultural committees, the Duma adopted that of the financial committee, which coincides with the wishes of the Minister of Commerce.This proposal provides for discrimination in the reduction in the tariff on parts hrought in or without the machines.The proposal of the agricultural committee considered because it was not a formal one.firm has misinterpreted press reports.The offer was not made direct to the Controllers, but through a representative of a firm to the

playing in a big clothes basket on deck when the basket, baby and all fell over the side of the craft to land right side up on an ice cake.À terrier, which had been playing with the baby, gave the alarm by barking furiously, and after succeeding in attracting the attention of the baby's mother darted to the side of the boat and jumped overboard.The dog swam faithfully on guard beside the ice cake as it, with its human freight, floated down the river, and was still on .duty ten minutes later when a steamboat crew, whose attention had been attracted by the dog's barking, put out a skiff and rescued the chilled but unharmed baby and the then nearly exhausted dog.MONTREAL'S DEATH RATE STEADILY DECREASING.Montreal, Feb.28\u2014That the death tate of the city has been decreasing for the past three years is shown in the annual report of the Health Department for last year.The report states that the death rate per 1.000 of population in 1911 was only 21.39.in 1910 it was 22.40; while in 1909 it was 22.95.The death rate among children in Montreal has always been, and still is, abnormally high.For instance, the rate per 1,000 in 1910 was 54.19, while last yeir it fell to 53.69.Other figures in the report compare the death rate of this city with that.of other cities.For instance, the death rate in Montreal of 31.39 last year is exceeded by Madrid only in a list of eigh cities as follows :\u2014Buenos Ayres, 15.3; London, 18.1; Paris.18.6; New York, 18.9: Berlin, 148; Lille, 21.1; Lyons, 20; and Madrid, 27.2.In the case ofMon- treal half of the deaths were of children under five years of age.and of that number again 40 per cent per 1.000 were amongst children under 1 year.; FAILURE TO SETTLE THE COAL TROUBL Acknowledged by the Govern- ment\u2014Mine Owners Object to Minimum Wage, London, Feb.28\u2014A meeting of the cabinet has been called for fomorrow to discuss the government\u2019s policy in view of the failure to avert a strike, and it is expected that an important statement concerning the situation will be made to Parliament.The general expectancy is that the govern- | ment will introduce a minintum wage bill, and there also is so talk of the | intention of the Crown to purchase ! some of the collieries in PNales, so that henceforth it will be impossible to jeopardize the navy's supply of Welsh coat.By tomorrow night nearly a million miners will have ceased work.| The best authorities, however, are! strongly of the opinion that the strike will be of short duration.London, Feb.28.\u2014After negotiations lasting a week the Government to-night, in an official communication, admits its failure to stave off a national coal strike.True, the negotiations will be resumed to-morrow, but little is expected from these.The deadlock is graver than anticipated.It had been supposed that the greatest hostility would arise from the Welsh mine-owners, and publie opinion was veering in favor of the miners, who, it was thought, would be: satisfied with the concession of the principle of a minimum wage, leaving the adjustment of the details to subsequent arbitration or negotiation.! It is now scen that the miners themselves are placing the greatest obstacle in the way of a peaceful solution by insisting upon their own interpretation of the terms of the minimum wage.It is this aspect of th: situation which renders the outlook almost hopeless.At the same time.it is felt that the Government's ef forts have not been wasted.The Government has secured the assent of sixty per cent of the mine-owners of the country to the principle of a minimum wage, thus greatly facilitating its task should it be deemed advisable to resort to legislative enforcement of the minimum wage.According to opinion in the lobbies nf Parliament this will be the next step.should the conferences which are to be resumed to-morrow show that the deadlock is insuperable.\u2018 London, Feb.28\u2014The Goverament to-night acknowledges failure to settle the dispute between the coal owners and the miners.Breaking the rule of ! secrecy and silence which has heretofore been rigidly observed during the ! course of the negotiations, an official statément was issued regarding the proposals submitted by the Prime Minister to the representatives of the owners and men.The statement begins by declaring that the Government - are satisfied that there are cases in which underground workers are not able to earn a reasonable minimum wage.The Government is further satisfied that the power to earn such wage should be secured by arrangements suitable to the special circumstances in cach district, adequate safeguards being provided to protect employers against abuse.The Government is prepared to confer with the parties concerned as to the best method of giving practical effect to these conclusions by means of district conferences, a representative appointed by the Government being present in event of a failure to arrive at a settlement within a reasonable time, and representatives appointed by the government to decide jointly any outstanding points, These proposals, continues the statement, were considered by the representatives of the coal owners this afternoon, with the result that those in the federated area, which ineludes Yorkshire, Lacashire, the Midlands and North Wales, accepjted, adding that it is expected that the Government will make such arrangements as would secure that the agreement be binding to both sides for a reasonable time.The Durham and Cumberland employers also accepted the proposals.They were rejected, however, by the Northumberland, Scotland, and South Wales coal owners and also by the representatives of the smaller dis- | tricts.Forest of Dean, in Gloucester, Somerset.and Bristol.More than sixty per cent of the coal trade of the country accepted the proposals.The National Miners\u2019 Federation replied to the proposals by adopting the following resolution.\u201cThere can be no settlement of the present dispute un- fess the principle of an individual minimum wage for all underground workers is agreed to by the eoal owners.\u201d The Federation added that it was.willing to meet the coal owners at any time to discuss minimum rates to be adopted in each distriet.In response to questions by the Prime Minister, the miners\u2019 executive said that they could only enter into conferences with the Government in respect to the establishment of a minimum wage in the various districts, on the understanding that this be fixed at the rate adopted by the Miners\u2019 Federation on Feb.2.(The minimum rate for the different districts as adopted by the Federation vary from! 7s.5d.to $s.10d, no underground worker to receive less than five shillings a shift).To this the Prime Minister replied that such an arrangement was impossible without discus- sjons.and negotiations between the Parties provosed by the Government Temperaturas Minimum, 18; Maximum, 16.* Yeu witi Kad à large assortiment of Vc'er mash'oes nad Vicirolas, oise, reve-ds, al.CW.LINDSAY, Limite, 204 $1, Joka SI., Quebec.VICTOR RECORDS OUT TO-DAY A few Interesting Selections from the March List 10 INCH DOUBLE-FACED 90dc.for the Two Selections \u2018That Haunting Melody 17037 { got Tum Ti Louisiana Minstrels 35313 Fee Minstrels Red Pepper-A Spicy Rag (Banjo) - {Red Lobsters\u2019 Promenade (Banjo) Al Jolson Al Jolson Fred Van Eps - Fred VanEps « Victor Misetrel Company +\u2018 Victor Misstrel Company CARUSO and JOURNET sing Faure\u2019s noble \u201cCRUCIFIX \u201d DID YOU HEAR THESE SPLENDID FEBRUARY RECORDS 10 INCH DOUBLE.FACED 90c for.the Two S:lections ( If You Talk in Your Sleep, don\u2019t Mention My Name 89054 Crucifix { Ragtime Violin - - 17030 | Come to the Ball - Faure Billy Murray - American Quartet Henry Burr It's aLong Lane that has no Turning, Peerlens Quartet HAVE YOU HEARD THE WONDERFUL VICTOR PUZZLE RECORD No.121,000\u2014Six Selections on ONE DISC \u2014Price $1.00 FOREIGN RECORDS IN FRENCH, SWEDISH, BOHEMIAN, POLISH \u2019 AND HUNGARIAN, ETC.Your Local Dealer Will Play These Records For You.BERLINER GRAM-O-PHONE CO.MONTREAL LIMITED Victor and Berliner Gramophones and Records Are on Sale by C.ROBITAILLE 320 St.Joseph St.to determine the amount of minimum wage suitable to each district.At the request of the Prime Minister representatives of both parties agreed to he available for further consultation to-motrow morning.Thue, ends the.official statement, but it is evident that the situation offer., resented on es e commitiee.2 > + - .formidable opposition has as many [The children selected, all of whom flevsicpedisines the abdication.Shi IT 4 g 2 LC + 2 5 exponents as there are large ports on | are over fourteen vears of age, are x he od aN ki thin à 8 5= = E > I 3 .à © red istrict.It had been | pad her sealp torn off by a machine.Ther by 1 then Vends he charge * 38 = a ls pret re Ll | The le Sr] enc rt ne Ya sn Siig EF ii ei ii 0 a | by one from each nationality.- = © - + 000 inhabitants was necessary tomake | \u201cThe proposal to send a number of | TONG WAR BREAKS = 8 7 = & 3 \u201d - - ihe sewarge innocuous.C!

Mrs.John Banks, at the advanced age of eighty-six.She was a woman of cheerful disposition, lively tendencies and benevolent heart; which greatly endeared her to an unusually large circle of devoted friends, who feel deeply her removal.Her kindness and her unselfish services will never be erased from the memory of those who were most intimate with her.The numerous and costly floral decorations about her bier witness to the profound esteem in which the deceased lady wus held by her many friends.Mrs, Banks has been for many years closely identified with the Methodist Church in this city and her attachment to it was marked equally hy intelligence and devotion, During her last illness she was attended with unremitting care and affection by her daughters, Mesdames Brown and Dunlop.The funeral takes place this afternoon to Mount Hermon cemetery, Rev.Gv H.Cobbledick.pastor of the Methodist Church, officiating.Chee STORY OF QUEBEC BRIDGE DISASTER No Connection Whatever With the Machinations of the Mc- Namara Brothers.The story that the Quebec bridge disaster was due to the machinations of the McNamara Brothers is still travelling, but, notwithstanding all the efforts of the U.8.press to connect them with the terrible catastrophe, it has no substantial foundation.A dispatch from Philadelphia says: \u201cOfficials of the Phoenix Bridge Cowhich had charge of the construction of the Quebec Bridge when it fell into the St.Lawrence River in August, 1907, causing the death of 84 persons, do not credit reports that the Me.Namaras were responsible for that ea- tastrophe.Local representatives of the Burns Detective Agency also denied that they had sent detectives to investigate the Quebec disaster.The theory accepted by the Bridge Company is that the catastrophe was caused by some faulty material put into the bridge which was planned to have the longest cantilever span then existing.RECORDER'S COURT, Yesterday the Recorder rendered judgment in the
