Virtually, the treaties, hy the Senate\u2019s action, are \u201cup in the air.\u201d In their modified form they must be re ferred to England and France.By the terms of an amendment proposed by Senator Bason, of Georgia, the Senate consented to the ratification of the treaties with the distinct provision that they do noi authorize the submission \u201cto arbitration of any question which affects the admission of aliens into the United States, or * the admission of aliens to the educational institutions of the several states, or the territorial integrity of COLORED SHIRTS Sizes 15 4 to 18 From $1.50 to $2.00 to clear at $1.00 UNDERWEAR 20% to 40% off HOCKEY CAPS 80 ots reduced to 285 ots WINTER SOX 800 and 60 for 39 ots LAFRANCE Tallor and Hadordashsr 11 BUADE STREET the several states or of the United States, or concerning the question of the alleged indebtedness or monied obligation of any state or of the United States, or any question which depends upon or involves the maintenance of the traditional attitude of the United States concerning American question, commonly described as the Monroe Doctrine, or other purely Rovernmental policy.\u201d As amended, the treaties provide tat all differences.with the exception of the subjects named in the Bacon amendment, which it has not been possible to adjust by diplomary, and which are justiciable in their nature, shall he submitted to arbitration at The Hague tribunal, Senator Lodge and others, who fought the Senate's action to-day, declared that the alteration of the much- discussed Clause Three of Article Three would Imperil the success of the treaties.iplomatists pointed out what they claimed was a parallel to the Senate's action to-day, and in that case, the treaties under consideration never became operative.In 1908, under President Roosevelt, Secretary Hay negotiated arbitration treaties with England and other pow.Roast Venison Special, 20c a tin Poulton & Noel's London, Eng.Roast Venison, appetizing and delicious.reg.price 40c, Special, tin Cheeni, \u2026 asssceu 04 045 + 206 Mixed Pickles 30c Value, 20c Mixed Pickles, put up in_ bottles \u201cGrey-Poupon.\u201d regular price Mc Special, per bottle .20c Axoline 2 boxes for 15c Axoline Cleaner and Cleanserlarge-sized boxes, On Sale Friday and Saturday, 2 boxes for.15¢ The Wall Paper Sale Continues Remember.the Special Purchase Sale of Wall Paper will continue all day Friday and Saturday.Specially low prices prevail.ers, which provided that questions of vital interest, national honor and those affecting third parties, were not to be arbitrated.The Senate, by a vote of more than five to one, amended the treaties to provide that any special agreements for arbitration were to be - presented for its advice and consent.The treaties were pigeonholed in the State Department.Diplomatists think the situations much alike, Ambassador Bryce did not comment, neither did Jules Jusserand, the ambassador from France.Senator Bacon and his colleagues who forced the modification declared that nothing had been lost in the cause of peace because forty-five nations were now parties to The Hague convention.The final action came at the end of a long day of debate and following ballots on numerous amendments, The administration senator, thouah figuring on a close vote on the third clause and closely following the roll call, were surprised and confused by the result.Their view was that the elimination was achieved by the massing of a practically solid Democratic vote with à sprinkling of Republicans.Senators Penrose, of Pennsylvania, the Republican leader of the Senate; Heyburn, Gronna, Gamble, Stone, Poindexter, Taylor and Davis, were absent.Of thes Stone, Gronna, Gamble and Davis had been paired.The treaty with England was first taken up and the first vote came promptly at 4.30 o'clock on an amendment to eliminate Clause Three of Article Three\u2014the provision around which the fight has centered\u2014and on this the motion was carried 42 to 40.Clause Three would have submitted to a joint high commission the question as to whether or not a difference was subject to arbitration and its decision was made final.Tt was contended that that clause would take from the Senate its prerogative as part of the treaty-making power, and along that line the battle waged from first to fast.ARGUMENTS IN THE CASE OF CHICAGO PACKERS Chicago.March 7\u2014United States District Judge George A.Carpenter was asked to-day to take the packers case from the jury and discharge the ten defendants accused of criminal vinlation of the Sherman law on the ground that the government had failed to prove the offences described in the indictment.The motion was made at the opening of court in hehal( of J.Ogden Armour.Arthur Mecker, Thomas J.Connors, Louis F.Swift, Edward F.Swift, Chas.H.Swift, Francis A.Fowler, Edw.Morris, Ta, H.Heyman and Edward Tilden, hy Attorney John $.Miller.The entire morning was occupied by the argument of Attorney Miller in support of the motion and he was followed by Attorney Levy Meyer.Argument of counsel for the defence on the motion will be continued to-morrow and District Attorney Jas.H.Wilkerson will close for the government.1t is expected that the arguments will be concluded Saturday and that Judge Carpenter will give his decision on the motion next Monday.Golden Plums 45c Value, 32c , Golden Plums, in Syrup, put up in glass, very fine quality, regular price 45¢ a glass, Special, per rls in Chow Chow 30c Value, 20c Chow-Chow, put up in bottle: \u201cGrey-Poupon.\u201d regular price 30e Special, per battle .20c Laundry Soap 2 bars for 9c - Capitol Naptha Laundry Soap good quality.On Sale Friday and Saturday, 2 bars for.9c \u2018Apricots, in Syrup, also Peachesprice 60e, Special, per glass.47¢ \u201cGrey-Poupon.\u201d regular price Wc Special, per bottle .20c day and Saturday, lb.16¢ quality, On Sale Frida d Saturday, 2 bars for .¥ and at ae Read Fine Coffee 38c Value, 28c Fine Coffee, put up in fancy box- Syrup, put up in glass, regular es.\u201cCoronation Souvenir,\" reg.price 38e, Special, per boa.28¢c Canadian Cheese Special, 16c a Ib.Tine Canadian Cheese, delicious flavor.perfect quality, on sale Fri- Choice Fruits 60c Value, 47c Pickled Onions 30c Value, 20c Pickled Onions.put up in botties Laundry Soap 2 bars for 9c Santa Claus Laundry Soap.good Laundry Soap : 2 bars for Sc Clairette Laundry Soap.good auality, On Sale Friday and Saturday, 2 bars for .Sc en Second Floor Friday Bargains ROOM-Size Rugs and Framed advertised before, but there Art Rugs Special, $23.00 Room-size Rugs in Fine Axminster, size 9x10-6, attractive patterns.formerly priced at $29.00, Special ere ere eve ene meena $23.00 |!

brokerage firm of B.HH.Scheftels & Co., brought to a dramatic close here to-day what record in a United States court.With their associates, Charles F.Belser, Charles B.Stone and Raiph E.Waterman, they have been on trial for nearly five months for alleged conspiracy and the misuse of the mails to promote and sell mining stocks.Rice was sentenced to one year in jail, his sentence beginning Dec.2 last, when he was put in the Tombs after one of the jurors had been approached.With time off far good behavior, Rice will really spend about six months and a half in jail.Scheftels got off with a suspended sentence and the other three defendants went free, the indictments being quashed.It was the fact thath is financial resources and those of his friends had been exhausted by the length of the trial, Rice said to-day, that induced him to enter his plea, and it was intimated that the heavy expenses entailed by the Government in the case had also played a part in bringing about to-day's

7.\u2014The diplomatic representatives of the forcign powers held a conference today, and decided to continue the guards along the railway to Chin Wang Tao, in spite of the fact that the river is now open from Tien-Tsin to the sea.Additional soldiers will be necessary, as the effect of the present guard is only moral.Major mand of the American troops from Manila, has only forty men left at 200 of his troops who are now at Peking to return.Mr.Calhoun hopes to be able to get a detachment of 100 or 200 marines from the cruiser Cincinnati, and it would then be possible for the infantrymen to proceed to Tien-Tsin.The possibility is widely discussed of the Manchus taking over the city and proclaiming a monarchy again.The Chinese papers print this suggestion, but as no Manchu leader has been forthcoming in the past six munths, it seems hardly probable that ore can be found now.Should a dictator arise, he would find the nucleus of an army in the 20,000 or 30.000 Manchu troops, who are now the most concrete force remaining in the northern provinces.Reaction for Monarchy, In Shen-Si Generaf Cheng-Yun, governor of the province.whose family was slaughtered carlier in the re- Bellion, is still fighting in the Emperor's name.It is reported that General Cheng-Yun has 20,000 followers.He controls the situation in a large part of Shen-Si and Shan-Si.The killing of many whose queues had been cut off, the attack on the Nanking delegates at the first outbreak, and the desertion of Yuan Shi Kai by his soldiers, all indicate the reactionary feeling.Furthermore, the republican flags which for a time decorated every house in Peking by order of the police .are now displayed only on the government buildings, although the dragon flag has not reappeared.Republicans Too Hasty.Consular

have been decided by the mem- hers who came numerous to take part to the discussion.Mr.J.L.Lachance, who had been appointed to represent the Association at the National Builders\u2019 Convention on the 20th of February last, in Toronto, was elected Director until the next convention, which will take place at Calgary, next year.Mr, Lachance was very interesting in his judicious remarks and told the members that the uniform contract had been strongly discussed at the convention, and that same will be surely adopted before long by all the architects.MORE BIG CONTRACTS FOR WESTERN CANADA POWER COMPANY Contracts for the supply of power by the Western Canada Power Company are continuing to be received at the company\u2019s office in Vancouver daily.This morning advice was received here showing that to date 13.- 960 h.p.has been contracted for, of which amount at least 13,000 lp.will he used as connected load this year.Tn addition to this large total, a number of other big contracts aggregating 3.500 h.p.will be signed up within a short time, in fact, as soon as the electrical connections can be made.On the above basis it is quite probable that by July 1st the total amotnt of contracts signed up will be in excess of 20,000 h.p., so that by the end of the present year the estimated connected load of 30,000 h.p.will be an accomplished fact.It has heen estimated that the net earnings of the company, based on supplying 8 connected toad of 30,000 h.p.will be $500,- 000, or over two and a half times the interest on the total authorized bond issue, of which only 75 per cent has been issued to date.\u2014 Ohildren Ory FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA THE IEEE nN En EE IN AND ABOUT TOWN [J =a El === FSHER NOT A CANDIDATE Presence of Ex-Minister in Town Causes Rumor About Quebec

allowed an extension of time until 1913, July 1, to complete its branch line from Roberval to St.Felicien, which should have been constructed last year.With regard to the bond of $125.000 which should

Entertaining Concert at the Auditorium Last Evening\u2014 Large Audience Present.Paul Dufault, the Canadian singer, was greeted with a large audience at the Auditorium last evening.Those who heard him were more than pleased with his rendition of a selection of numbers, which showed that his beautiful tenor voice had not gone back, but had improved.Dufault took us wide range of selections, and it would be difficult to say which were the most appreciated.In all, there was the artistic appreciation and the same masterly rendering.If one could be pardoned for choosing out any of his selections, possibly all would agree that his feeling rendition of the group of English ballads was as appealing ag any of the more serious numbers which he sang with so much success.Mr.Dufault is an artist of whom Canada can be proud.He has a voice that cannot fail to appeal, and he uses it with the greatest discrimination, whether it is German, Italian, French or English, the perfect modulation and the beautiful enunciation shows the real artist.Dividing honors with the star last night was Miss Henriette Bach.We have heard of violinists putting their soul into their instruments, but Miss Bach puts not only her soul, but her whole body seemingly into the numbers which she interprets.Miss Bach ais an artist of rare talent; her technique is remarkable; her stage presence is charming, and her numbers last night were received with enthus- nasm and was greeted with immense applause, To Miss Marguerite White, a pianist who showed her skill and ability as accompanist, is due a word of praise.Miss White was not obtrusive, but the lady was, perhaps, just as much a star as if she had ben playing solos and featuring on the bill with Mr.Paul Dufault and Miss Bach.COLLECTED FUNDS

in coffee) and tells it in a way so simple and straightforward that literary skill could not improve it, \u201cI had neuralgic headaches for 12 years,\u201d she says, \u201cand have ruffered untold agony.When 1 first began to have them I weighed 140 pounds, but they brought me down to 110.\u201c1 went to many doctors and they gave me only temporary relief, So I suffered on, till one day, 8 woman doctor advised me to drink Postum.She said I looked like T was coffee poisoned.\u201cSo 1 hegan to drink Postum, and gained 18 pounds in the first few weeks and am sHIl gaining, but not so fast as at first.My headaches began to leave me after 1 had used Postum about two weeks\u2014long enough, 1 expect, to get the coffee poison out of my system.\u201cNow that a few months have passed since I began to use Postum, 1 can gladly say that I never know what a neuralgic headache is like any more, and it was nothing but Postum that relieved me.\u201cBefore 1 used Postum I never went out alone; 1 would get bewildered and would not know which way to turn.Now 1 go alone and my head is as clear as à bell.My brain and nerves are stronger than they have been for years.\u201d Name given by Canadian Postum

Guest\u201d on the menu.and in proposing it, Chairman Duquet made a very appropriate speech, referring to the popular choice made by the electors of the ward in selecting Ald.Dussault as their representative.The toast was drank with considerable enthusiasm, the guests singing \u201cFor He's a Jolly GFood Fellow,\u201d and \u201cIl a gagne ses epaulettes.\u201d In rising to reply.Dr.Dussauit was | received with prolonged cheering and thanked his friends upon the great honor they had conferred upon him by clecting him unanimously as their representätive in the Council, which position he hoped to fill to the satisfaction of his electors.During the next two years he would do everything he possibly could towards the advancement and progress of the city, As according to Mayor Drouin's inaugural speech there were several important questions to be decided upon during that period.and which called the attention of the governments, Board of \u2018Trade, Harbor Comméissioners and City Council and as far as he and his colleagues were concerned they would do their duty as! they had faith in the future of the | city.Besides the chief magistrate | of the city was a thorough business man who had Quebec's interests at heart, and he had full confidence that what Mayor Drouin undertook, he | would bring to a successful issue.He strongly favored the annexation of surrounding municipalitieis and also referred to the proposed improve ments proposed seme t'me past, such as the dry dock, construction of the central station, the camming où the River St, Charles and one of the most important questions to be de cided was the modification of the actual system of civic taxation.Ald.Dussault was frequently interrupted during his remarks by the applause of his friends.Several other guests were called upon for speeches, antong them being Mr.Lavergne, M.P.P, Dr.Arthur Simard.Pro-Mayor Gosselin, who all congratulated Dr.Dussanit on his unanimous election as one of Quebec's

Ottawa players contributed $95, while Quebec, the champions, escaped only $80 out of pocket, Wanderers and Ottawa played one more game than did the other two teams.While Wanderers are apparently the worst offenders their superior position is very largely due to Ernie Russell, the redoubtable little centre.He was the only player in the league to reach the limit of five major fzuls and as each new foul calls for a penalty five dollars heavier than the last he paid in for his major offences, the substantial sum of $75 was paid hy him.Ilis minor fouls cost him $35 more.Ross and S.Cleghorn each commit- verware known as the Stanley Cup, representative of the hockey championship of the world, is awaited by the Quebec Club to-day.The Ottawa executive, like good sports, have informed the Quebec Club that they will despatch the mug to the Ancient Capital at oce with all their best wishes.Stanley Cup Games.The dates for the Stanley Cup games have been fixed for the first series on Monday and Wednesday next, when Quebec will have to defend its new honors against the champions of the Maritime Province League.The Moncton team is coming strong.and Quebec is taking no © chances and there will be the same fast team on the ice to meet them as had made its reputation.so strong during the season.Joe Malone, the popular captain of the team, has re-! covered from his illness and he will | be found in uniform when the visit- ore arrive, Cup Matches at Rink.An English Firm\u2019s Gift To Canadians In the past several months, about 100,000 beautiful cigarette cases have been given tothe English smokers of \u2018Black Cat\" Cigarettes, Free souvenirs of a never-to-be-forgotten event in the lives of British subjects, Ja Most modern and leading moderate an rate hotel i | | \u201c# ALBEMARLE \"saan smese ;

Discusses It at Some Length, Sp\u2014\u2014t Ottawa, March 7.\u2014The Senate today discussed at considerable length the bill ereating a tariff commission, In moving its second reading, Hon.Mr.Lougheed stated there bad been so much said in the other House about the bill that his explanation would be brief.- The bill proposed to authorize the Government to create a board of competent men to obtain information on the tariff.As to the need for a tariff there could bi: no possible doubt.Canada was developing and required public works which involved the expenditure of large sums of money and which most conveniently was obtained throtigh the customs houses.So there might be differences of opinion as to revenue tariff or protective tariff, but both parties were committed to the maintenance of tariff of some sort.If there was any movement for abolition of tariff it would have come to à head during the time of the late Government.However, both for the purpose of revnue and the promotion of industrial life, some sort of a tariff was-essential for Canada.It was desirable therefore to have the best sort of a tariff.In the past tariffs had been largely influenced by pressure from one source or another.It was desira- \"ble to deal with it so far from outside Influences as was possible.Therefore it was proposed to create an independent commission whose duty it would Be to make & thorough inquiry into industries and report to the Minister of Finance.If there were to be tariff walls it was desirable to have them built as fairly as possible for all.That was what the Government proposed to do with the assistance of this commission.Sir Richard Cartwright congratulated Hon.Mr.Lougheed upon his candor in stating that the purpose of the commission was to enable the Government to put up this tariff.Hon.Mr.Lougheed said: \u201cMy hon- rable friend must have misunderstood me.I made no such a statement.\u201d Sir Richard said he had so understood, but whether that had been said or not there was no doubt but that is what would happen, Talk about taking the tariff out of politics was claptrap.It always had been in politics and would continue to be a burning political question as long as Canada is Canada.A proper commission to enquire into the tariff, he would approve of, but this proposal of the .Government seemed to him as un- \u2018\u201c necessary and tmischievous.- It was a design to place a screen between the public and the Government.\u201cI have no doubt but that the tariff commissioners will be agents and tools of the manufacturers to whom the present Government owes its existence and to whom I suppose they now have to pay tribute.\u201d Sir MacKenzie Bowell said any proposal to take the tariff out of politics was absurd.In the last election the Conservatives had promised to create a tariff commission and now proposed to do so.He did not agree that the tariff commission would be the representatives of the Manufacturers\u2019 Association.It would, as the Government promised, be a body which would obtain information which would properly guide the Government in tariff making.Sir Richard claimed credit for the late Government for the British-preference.However, in the case of many articles the preference hail een accompanied hy first raising the general duty and then granting a prei- erence which left the duty charges | against British goods higher than before.1f he thought the tariff commission would be the tools of the manufacturers he would vote against this Ithoroughly independent body.The discussion was continued by Senator Davis.Terrible ftching Got Little Sleep Until Cuticura Remedies Cured Him Those who have suffered long and hope- tessiy from torturing skin eruptisns wil) read with interest this

\u2014Gold, silver and copper were the metails chiefly dealt with to-day by lecturers and in discussion at the sessions of the Canadian Mining Institutes\u2019 annual convention at the King Edward Hotel.The afternoon papers were mainly devoted to exposition of geological knowledge and the history and formation of the strata in which the precious metals are found in various pasts of the Dominion.Another feature of the day's programme was a generat discussion on the general question of workmen's compensations, ending in the appointment of a committee to draft a resolution for submission to half, Charles A.O.Connell.resident manager of the Trethewey Mine, gave a forecast of the future of Cobalt.\u201cWe have read much as to the decline of the Cobalt camp.\u201d he said, \u201cbut I am doubtful whether the peak of produe- tion las yet been reached.Ten years | would not be too long a period to stafe as the future minimum life of the Cobalt camp.\u201d He predicted that the total production would exceed 250,- 000,000 ounces of silver.Prof.J.B.Tyrell, F.G.S., delieverd an important paper on the copper mine country in Northern Canada, which extends across the centre of the north coast of the continent, just south of the Arctic Ocean.From the account of John Hanbury, who visited it in 1902, it was certain that the copper- bearing area was greater than that of Lake Superior, \u201cIt is worth while for the Canadian people,\u201d said Prof.Tyrell, \u201cto find out whether they have in this far northern country a great reserve of copper are for the use of themselves and the world when the mines that are now working have been depleted.\u201d The geology and history of the Porcupine gold district was treated upon in two papers, by Dr, A, E.Barlow, of Montreal, and Mr.R.E.Hore, of Houghton, Mich.The dome formations in Nova Scotia were described from a similar standpoint by Mr, T.A.Rickard, of London, Eng, whose address was followed by a warm technical discussion, in which several eminent authorities participated, Mr.Carl Reinhart spoke of the Cobalt region from the geological and historical point of view, and Dr.J.A.Pancroft, of Montrea!, described the newer dia- base as found in the Province of Quebec.The concluding sessions of the con- vention will be held to-morrow, questions of education forming the chief topic of the morning, while technical subjects will occupy the afternoon.The annual dinner will be held tonight.INCREASE IN POPULATION OF NEWFOUNDLAND St.Johns, Nfld, March 7.-~Newfoundland's population is 242,000,

March 7\u2014Speaker Champ Clark to-day celebrated his 62nd birthday anniversary and put in a strenuous fifteen hours of hand shaking and acknowledgment of congratulations.The doy began with a temperate reception by his own office force.It was followed by a demonstration on the floor of the House, from which the Speaker fled.later followed by a presentation of a huge bunch of carnations hy the pages and messengers of the House, and wound up to-night with a great mass meeting in Convention Hall, which cheered every allusion to the presiding officer of the House.The Speaker was visibly affected by the tribute of the pages who hurry about the floor.Immediately after the adjournment the lads invited him to come in the house daie.There Mr.Clark found more than a score of boys who had captured Representative Burnett, of Alabama, and induced him to make the presentation speech, Their own leader at the last moment was overcome by stage fright.The demonstration in the Hobse was led off by Representative Rainey, of llinols, ocrat, who eulogized the record of the Speaker.He was followed by Representative Austin, of Tennessee, Republican, and former Speaker Cannon, DEFENCE OF THE CANADA CEMENT CO.From Attacks Which Have Been Made Against It by Outsiders.Montreal.March 7\u2014There was heard this afternoon the first official | reply to the many attacks made against the Canada Cement Company, Limited.The occasion was the annual meeting of shareholders.The chair was occupied by the president of the company.the Hon.W.C.Edwards.It was in moving the adoption of the report which has already been published that Senator Edwards vindicated the management of the company.No company had ever been the nb- ject of so much unjust criticism and so much unfounded hostility as the Canada Cement Company.The statement had been made that the company was being run in order to furnith large returns to the gentlemen who promoted the company.The present management had nothing to do but to manage tiie company in the interest of the shareholders and he denied, most emphatically, that the company was directed in the interest of any capitalist or group of capitalists.Proceeding to speak of the policy and of the price of the company\u2019s product, the chairman said that the Canadas Cement Company, Limited, large as it is, is but one out of fifteen or sixteen cement companies in the Dominion.He declared that the aim of the company was to unify the price of cement in this country, This had already heen done east of the Great Lakes.On account of the recent coal strike, which obliged the company to import coal, the price west of the lakes was scmewhat higher than in the east and would probably remain so.Mr.J.M.Milbourne, vice president of the company, slso defended the directorate.The report was then unanimously adopted, and the same board of directors was elected, with the exception that Mr.H.L.Doble replaces Mr.J.8.Irvin, who retired some time ago.At the conclusion of the shareholders\u2019 meeting, Senator W.C.Edwards was re-elected president, and Mr.J.M.Milbourne vice president.\u201cRATS\u201d SAVED THE LIFE OF A PLUCKY GIRL.New York.March 7\u2014The resist ance to shock offered by the \u201crats\u201d in the coiffure of Lillian Seinberg, an 18-year-old East New York gitl.probably accounts for her being alive to tell how she captured a burglar this afternoon.À two foot \u201cjimmy\u201d wielded by the intruder, broke tbe girl's hold upon the man after she had pulled him back from the fire escape by the legs.But though the blow stunned her, the substantial coiffure so softened the shock that she soon recovered her senses and gave an alarm which resulted in the capture of a man who said he was David Miller, but refused to give an address.He was held in $1,000 bail.WILL GO INTO THE HOTEL BUSINESS.Toronto, Mirch 7\u2014Tim O'Rourke, former champion shot putter.manager of the Irish-Canadian A.C.and for eight vear< partner
