Ottawa, March 25.\u2014The second day ef the debate on the National Transcontinental Commission report was marked by a strong and able speech - en the part of Mr.W.S: Middiebro, the member for North Grey, who was put up by the Government to reply to Hon.George P.Graham.Mr.Middlebro did not occupy a Quarter of the time that had been | taken by his predecessor on the floor of the House, but his speech was a model of clear, condensed statement and bold driving, bome of facts.He wasted no words in reaching his points and by appreciation from the evidence which wes taken before the {investigating commission he pressed home the conclusion of that commission that waste and extravagance had marked the construction of the toad.Mr.Middtebro made it clear that i i the real objec, for which the road bad | been built, namely, the reduction of \u2018 Light rates in.Western Canadas, ould aad \u201che.accomplished \u201che: of the barden which had been placed upon the railway by its undue cost.ve \u201cThis railway will never be able to feduce western freight rates,\u201d he sd.\u201cIf the G.T.P.is charged with taxing thé peopled of Canada by excessive freight rates it will point to the fact that the road ost $102,000 a tnile, and will say thas as they can- uot pay the rent, let alche dividends.still fess can they reduce freight rates.\u201d Graham Avoids Issue.Hon.G.P.Graham broke the record for marathon speeches this session by adding an hour and three- quarters to his five hours nf yesterday.The effort of the ex Miniter of Railways this afterncon was distinguished chiefly by the clever manner In which he evaded the direct issue of waste and extravangance in the building of the great railway, There was fittle of the vim and aggressiveness left which were the main features of his address yesterday.His voice had become husky and his arguments suffered in consequence.Laurier Is Absent, Sir Wilfrid Laurier was again ab- bent from the chamber, suffering, it ie stated, from a severe cold.The debate was continued late in the evening by F.B.Carvell (Carleton).Graham Continues His Agony.Hon.George Graham's continuation of the debate this afternoon after his five hours of oratory yesterday was a mearigd and wearisome effort.The ex-i ster was plainly trying to fll in time until 6 o'clock 30 us to hold off Mr.W.S.Middlebro until after the dinner hour, and he went over old ground in a manner that half emptied the galleries and House before: he concluded.There was little fire in his speech and it brought out little that was new.te He attemp®ed to make capital out of the concluding puragraph of the commission's report which stated \u201cWe find that the Transcontinental Railway Commission, the Grand Trunk Pacific Railveay and - those, having charge of the construction of \u2018the rail: way did not consider it desirable or necessary\u2019 to pructice or encourage economy in the construction of the \u2018 7s road.\u201d 11\u20ac Wants a Retraction.This, he said.was a charge \u2018against (Continued on Page Nine) yet CAUSE | ceivad protests because of his practice FRENCH \u2018PRAYERS IN THE COMMONS MEMBER FOR LAVAL APPEALS FROM RULING.OF ' THE SPEAKER.(Speciat to the Chronicle.) Ottawa, March 25.\u2014An unexpected incident occurred today when C.A.Wilson, Liberal member for Lavel, appealed from the ruling of the Speaker and divided the House.The point at issue was the right of the Speaker to refuse to have placed upon the order paper a question directed to him.The question was as to whether or not the Speaker had re.of reading prayers in French every ; second day.The Speaker ruled that ! the question was too trivial to engage -the attention of the House, whereupon Mr.Wilson at once ip- pealed from his ruling.~ Premier Borden expretsed, the cpie- ion that this was rot a propee matter for appeal.He thought thay a great deal of fuss had been mads by, th: member for Laval about something which was not very important, The Premier said that in order to set\u201d the mind of the member for Laval at rest he would say that the Government never had received any sucht protests as those indicated in ther question, Mr.Wilson then sose to speak but was not allowed to do so by the Speaker, who said that an appeal from the chair was not debatable.: Some further cross-firing followed, when the members were called in and the ruling of the Speaker sustained by a vote of 88 to 55, a- Government majority of 33.Three Nationalists, Paul Lamarche, of Nicolet, H.Boulay, of Rimouski, and J.P.Guilbault, of Joliette, voted with the Opposition.WOULD PREVENT FIRES Ontario Government Is Establishing 8pecial Fire Departments .\u2014_\u2014 Toronto, March 25\u2014With a view to preventing fires, as far as possible, and keeping buildings as free as can be of dangerous substances, the Ontario Government is establishing a special fire department.\u2018 There will be a- fire marshal, with a staff of deputies, and the department willbe\u2019 fully equipped to investigate all questionable fires and take such steps as will stop, as far as possible, the great waste from fires.The insurance companies will bear the expense of the department and the fund will be provided by a tax of one-third of one per Sent.of the gross premiums received Y such corporations on .the business tronsaction in Quarts _ during the preceding year.\u2018The province will not be put to any vice in connection with the départ \u201cAnnouncement to this effect was made fh the legislature this afternoon by \u2018Hon.J.J.Foy, Attorney-General amd, Acting Premier, who, seconded by /Provincial Secretary Hanna, in-' ttoduced a bill to the end mentioned.\u2018| his ows Sonounosd London, March 25,\u2014The Government published today its promised statement of its dealings with the revolting officers of the Third Cavalry Brigade, afd the House of C.> beld another bested and disorderly session.Between the documents presented and the vasious statements drawn from the Cabinet Ministers, the vital facts of the affair were made clear.They veveal a comedy, or tragedy of \u201cerrors perpetrated dy Col.Seely, Secretary of State for War, and Sir Arthur Paget, commanding the troops in Ireland., Admits Oregt Mistake | .Col, Seely took all zhe plame upon D shoulders.He frankly declared that he had made a great mistake.His written assurance to General Hubert Gough that the Government \u201cmust retain its right to use all the forces of the Crown in Îreland or elsewhere ta maintain order and support the civil pôwers in the ordinary execution of their duty, but has no intention whatever of taking advantage of this right in order to crush \u2018political opposition to the policy or the principles of the Home Rule Bill,\u201d was given without the knowledge of the cabinet, and country tô Îts polley.The War Secretary tendered his resignation to Mr.Asquith, but the Premier refused to accept it.Government has withdrawn Coll Seely\u2019s guarantees.according to the statement made by Viscoupt Morley: in the House of Lords, and Sir Edward Grey told the House af Commons that the Government's decision would be made kndws to Genes! Gougn tomorrow.Thus the situation with \u201crespect to General Gough.and his $9 comrades who sent.in their papers is still in a esate of suspense.The most important revelations of the day were to the effect that the Government did plan an important militady and navfl demonstration upon ter.ed.the reports that he had ordered tle Third Battle Squadron and a torpedo flotilla to Irish waters, but explained that when the military arrangements .imd been .successfully carried out he countermanded the orders by wireless\u2014an explanation which the Unionists received with jeers.Say Paget Blundered The blunder General Paget made appears to have been in giving » practical ultimatum to the officers of the cavalry brigade.to say whether they would take active service in Ulster or accept dismissal, The cabinet on Monday framed a general -statemént of the officers\u2019 position and duty under the law.and Col Beely freely admitted that his error was In yielding to General Gough's demand for a written assurance that the army would not be used to suppress the covenanters, Premier Explains Position Premier Asquith's statements that | the officers shomld return to duty unconditionally were made in good faith, since he learned of Col.Seely:s.amendments lu the cabinet memorandum only yesterday afternoon.The Prime Minister made plain the Gov-\u2019 ernment\u2019s position regarding the army to the House of.Commons, declaring that he would not assent to the claim of any body of men'in the service of the Crown .to demand assurances of what, they would be required to do in \u2018circumstances which had not yet arisen, Lo ° Sir Edward Grey -epoke even more strongly.He said: So : : \u201cThe Covernenerit is prepared at any Moment to.use force to whatever extent is required, to make the will of the country prevail.That is a contingency which cannot syise for a Tong time, and we will still.labor \u2018to avoid iv.\" + A + \u2018Radicals Worked Up \u2018 : Much of the oratory in the debate in the Hoëse of Commons tonight consisted of .flery denunciations of the military aristoorecy.The Government members.wêre, placated by today's revelations, but there remains a very strong and outspoken dissatisfaction with the whole fair among the Radicals and Laborites.Many think that-the matter would have been allowed to rest except for the almost unshimoud \u201cwithcke \"by.the Liberal press and postings vof he Conservative press over what they speak of as General Gough's victory.+ Compromiss Talk Suspended ° All talk of a compromise on the Home Rule Bill is for the time aus- pended The, tives hold that recent events Mave shown that no ! .| comotomise is possi ble, indegt on she son Spericer.Churchill, | Fitst Lord of the Admiralty, confirmi- !

attack to provoke bloodshed in Ulster.The Government had not believed it possible that the army had such strong convictions as had Been shown.- The army considered that in the matter of Home Rule the Government was as much a revolutionary committee as Huerta's Goverament in Mexiro.Sir Edward Greys Secretary oi State for Foreig- Affaire, denied that the Government had planned any action except that contained in General Paget's written instructions.Some af the depots in North Ireland, he said, were whally \u2018defenceless, and thete: had \u2018been sw honest misunderstanding on the part #f the

Honor At Stake J.Austen Chamberlain complained that the Government~thad revealed nothing concerning the instructions Paget.If, as had been stated, the Government merely intended the movement of troops to protect the stores, it would never have told General.Paget to excuse from the service.the officers domiciled in Ulster: It was inconceivable, he said, that when the Premier gave his statement to the press.on Sunday he, knew that Mr.Churchill iad ordered a battle squadton to Laralash.\u201cThe honor of the Prime Minister is at stake in this matte.\u201d he said, \u201cand it is the First Lord

together, labor is now making common cause with Liberalism, and whenever the general election occurs, instead of engaging in traditional strife, Labortes and Liberals will stand shoulder to shoulder in the defence of civil authority and the rights of a free democracy.The Daily News, in an editorial, says: \u201cIt may be that the Curragh incident by which tae Opposition hoped to destroy the govérnment, the .Parliament Act and popular liberties at one blow, will be found to have been one of the most fortunate episodes for the governmeat in this prolonged struggle.\u201d .Generals Report Today.The Express asserts that all general officers cominanding divisions\u2019 through out the Empire, arê under orders to report at the War Office between 11 and 12 o'd today.The Morning Post, still insisting on the existen:e of a plot and urging the Unionists in parhament to compel the government to divulge the nature of the verbal dnstractions given to General Paget, angries that Col.Seely\u2019s real \u2018motive and only reason for adding the two clauses to the guarantee given to Genéral Gough, was to prevent the diaclomre of the Slr.7 b The Post beti tha: Mr.Asquit refused

Chan cellor Lloyd-George threatened to resign unless the War Secretary resigned, but when the matter cane before the Cabinet yesterday it became evident that Col Seely's action involved Mr.Churchill and Jord Morley, and though.the Cabinet might have survived Col.\u2019 Seely's resignation, it was impossible to tose three Ministers without disruption.Hence the Chancellor of the Exchequer withdrew his opposition.The Labor papers are.dissatisfied at the official exoneration of the King.The lobby correspondent of the Daily News says that Col.Seely added the two offending paragraphs just af: Ï ter

Company Having Civic Contract Mu st Be Difficult Another sensation was created at the civic inquiry into.the Carnon- Lockwell charges yesterday afternoon when Mr.J.de S.Bosse, who as a Director of the Dorchester Electric Company drew up an affidavis accusing Ald.Lockwell of having threatened him to do him out of patronage from Ottawa unless he severed his connection with the Dorchester Electric Company, admitted under oath that he hid brought the original bis letter accusing Ald.Lockwell, t Mayor Drouin while be had given the copy to Mr.Joachim Fortin, who was formerly Manager of the Dorchester Electric Company.Intimidation Plea This came out at the close of Mr.Bosse's evidence yesterday afternoon after he had been under cross-ex- amination by Mr.Galipeauit, K.Cfor nearly half an hour yesterday, and for some time the day previous.\u201cThis admission on the part of one of the ¢hiel witnesses strengthens the contention which was advanced by Mr, Galipeavit yesterday that the de- ' fence would undertake io prove that the documents were held by Mayor Drouin to intimidate Ald.Lockwell- In case he should oppose the Dor- .chester Compary too strongly.At the inquiry yesterday afternoon there was again a large number of interested auditors, who followed each phase of the nquiry with manifest interest.Mr.Bosse's Evidence Mr.J.de 8.Bosse, who was on the stand Tuesday afternoon was recalled again yesterday hy Mr.Galipeault.He admitted that he had had conversations with Ald.Lockwell at his home and at his office.He denied, however, that he had ever applied to Ald.Leckwell to secure dredging work from Ottawa, which was likely to be given up by the Dussault firm.He denied that he had told Ald .Lockwell that he was promoting a company which was backed by New Yobkirs.\u2018Hé admitted that he had conversed with Ald.Lockwell about the publie works st Quebec, and had spoken af some tonnection which he (the witness) had with some Americans.He denied emphatically that - he had asked Ald.Lockwell for the support of Mr.L'Esperance, Mr.Forget or others.After admitting that the conversation with Ald.Lockwell had taken place a year previous to the drawing up of the affidavit, he said that he must have met Ald Lockwell often on St.Peter street.He admisted that their relations had remained unchanged after the con- .varsations.Mr.* Galipeault: \u201cYou evidently found the proposition made by Ald.Lockwell dishonest?\u201d \u201cI found the proposition, at least, strange.| would not say that it was dishonest, but T had found it strange.Without thinking that it was dishonest 1 did not think that such an sttitude- was comps\u2019 ble with Ald.Lockwell's position as alderman.\u201d .Mr.Galipeault: \u201cIn your affidavit, you wanted to reach Ald.Lockwell as alderman?\u201d Witness: \u201cI wanted to prevent him from working agaimt the Dorchester Company, and I believe that in his position of Alderman and supporter of the Government he could not approach a business man and threaten te take away patronage from him if the latter did not severe his connec- son with the company which was seeking the civic comraet.A \u201cDifficult Position\u201d Mr.Galipeault: \"You believe, then, that an Alderman who is interested in 8 company that hrs a contract with the city ie not doing his duty?\u201d Witness: \u201cT believe that it is a difficult position to fill.\u201d Hostility To Dorchester The witness further stated that he had thougtst that Lockwell would work against the company securing the contract with the city and: had consequently, drawn up the affidavits to meet him in the matter.It was again admitted by the witness that every time he had spoken to: Ald.Loekwell about the Dorchester Electric Company the letter had shown himself opposed to the company.He further admitted, however, that he had heard Ald.Lockwell ssy that he would give the Dorchester Electric Company fair play.Mr.Galipeauit: \u201cDespite the fact that yok coasidered Ald.Lockwell\u2019s proposition dishonest sad knowing that he had never voted against the Dorchester Electric Company.you came otit and.made an affidavit agaipat him.Pats It On Fortin The witness said that he had made the affidavit after 8 conversation with Fortin and at Fortin's request, He said that Ald, Locxwell may have said that he was always for justice, but Ahe wittess was morally convinced that Ald, Lockwa!l was opposed to the company.He did not \u2018ye know whether or not Ald.Lockwell had always voted for the company or not.After the éonvessation with Ald, Lockwell he remembered speaking of whaShad transpired to the Mayor and Ald.Cannon previous to drawing up the affidavit.The witness admitted that he had been under the impression that the affidavit which was asked of him by Mr.Fortin was going to Mayor Drouin or Ald.Cannon.Mr.Gatipeault: \u201cOn your oath, do \u2018you persis; in saying that when you gave the affidavit to Mr.Fortin you did not know to whom it was going?\u201d Witness: \u201cI had an opinion.1 believed that it was going to Mayor Drouin or Mr.Cannon.\u201d Mr.Galipeault: \u201cWhy did you not suspect others?\u201d Knew Of Unfriendiiness Witness: \u201cBecause 1 knew they were not friendly to Mr.Lockwell.\u201d The witness added that there was no question at the time of the document being made public and, therefore, he did not know with certitude to whom it was to be given.Mr.Galipeault: \u201cDid you know why the Mayor and Ald.Cannon were unfriendly to Aid.Lockwell?* Winess said that he did not, but admitted later, on question of Dorchester Electric Company, he knew that Ald.Lockwell did not share the samé opinion as the Mayor and -Ald.Cannon.Cannot Remember - Ma.Galipeault: \u201cDo you not remember that it was Mayor Drouin who had the documents in hand and who asked you for a solemn declaration?\u201d Witness: \u201cI do not remember.\u201d Mr.Galipeault pointed out that the tetter which Mr.Bosse had written and the affidavit which he had signed bore the same date.He offered the suggestion that the dates might have been different, LL - The witness said that he did not remember.Gave Original to Mayor Mr.Bosse here, however, stated that when he had written iis letter accusing Ald.Lockwell he had brought a copy to Mr.Fortin, but he bad taken the original to the Mayor.\u201cThat is what I wanted to Zet at all along,\u201d said Mr.Galipeault, beaming with satisfaction.Surprised It Appeaced The witness said that he did not remember being called to St.Roch's by the Mayor to make a solemn declaration.He remembered having gone to the office of Mr.Cytille Tessier, notary, and there to have made a solemn declaration.He said that when Mr.Fortin had spoken to him concerning the affidavit he was about to leave town, and when he, (the witness) had prepared the affidavit as requested, Mr.Fortin, being absent, he had taken the original to Mayor Drouin.He did not

Witness: \u201cThe affidavit was progipt- ed by the attitude of Ald.Lockwell in the Council and was prepared after the matter had been discussed with friends.Mr, Galipeault: \u201cWith whom did you

objection was raised to this question by Mr.Lucien Cannon appearing for Mr.Fortin.Recorder Dery, however, ruled out the objection.The witness then said that he bad spoken about Ald.Luckwell\u2019s statements to Ald.Cannon, Mr, Bosse, and Mr.Mayor, the latter over telephone.It was after thes\u20ac conversations, he said, that he had decided that it was opportune to make the affidavits., The

the Dorchester Electric Company.He asserted that he had made the affidavit because ke felt that it was in the public interest to do so, for he considered that i the Dorchester Electric Company had any

it that you did not make your affidavit public right away?\u201d Witness: \u201cAs 1 said before, I had the impression at the time that Ald.Lockwell was opposed to the company, but when he attacked

resourceful and determihed element within the party opposed to a policy which President ! Wilson had \u2018personally espoused.| Personal convictions on the question have practically obliterated party lines.| This politicat-situation, with the international character of the question involved, and the stress the President has placed upon his position as necessary to the successful conduct of the administration's foreign policy, combined to make up a situation fraught with complications.| Opponents and Supportersi Allgncd against the Presideut's de- \"mand for the repeal are the three leaders of the parties in the House, Representative Underwood of the Democrats, Representative Mann of the Republicans, and Representative Burdock of the Progressives.Wings of all three parties are behind these leaders.On the other hand, Chairman Adamson of the House Interstate and Foreign Commerce Coumittee; Representative Henry, Chairman of the Rules Committee; Representative Stevens, Minnesota, and many other representatives of ail three parties have accepted the President's position, It was generally believed tonight that Majority Leader Underwood and othes Democratswhile speaking against the bill.and } voting against it, would not attempt to organize any extended opposition, or resort to obstructive tactics to prevent the passage of the bills Limiting the Debate, | Tomorrow Chairman Henry will re- 1 port a special rule, providing for fifteen hours\u2019 of general debate on the repeal bill, and allowing no opportunity for amendment of the measure.An attempt will be made to fix four hours as a limit of debate on the pro- i posed rule.1f this is accomplished.| the first test vote will come late to- ! morrow after noon, on adoption of the rule.- The supporters of the President are prepared to argue that the exemption ! of American ships from canal tolls is |a Violation of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty; that is a form of subsidy to special intercsts; and the repeal is essential in order that the President may carry out his foreign policy.On the other hand.the opponents oi the bill will declare that\u2019 American shipping needs the frec use of the canal, that transcontinental railways feur the competition of free American ships and that to repeal the free tolls sec tion would be \u201ctrucking to Great Briain without exhausting diplomatic negotiations.\u201d Raps Transcontinentals.In the Senate today the feeling over the proposed repeal was demonstrate ed in debate precipitated hy Senator Chamberlain, who called up his resolution requesting the Secretary of War for information as to the expense of maintaining improved waterways and camals within the United | States.Senator Chamberlain declared that the Canadian Pacific Railway, backed by other transcontinental raiirnads, ! were the \u201cinsidious influence\u201d behind the cffort to have the toll exemption repealed, but he acquitted the President of yielding to any such inflrence.The President's view that toll exemption is a violation of the Hay-Paunce- fote treaty, Senator Chamberlain insisted, was an erroneous one.Attache Britain \u201cP never will stand on the floor of this Senate,\u201d the Oregon Senator declared, \u201cand advocate that this government yield anything to Great Brio tain.That nation is universglly understood to be not the friend of America.\u201d Andrew Carnegie and the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, declaring that Mr.Carnegie's friendship for Great Britain was \u201ctreasonable.\u201d Senator Jones of Washington also joined in the discussion, submitting for the record protests against toll exemption repeal.WILSON SHATTERS ANOTHER PRECEDENT Has Conference With Senator Stone at Latter\u2019s Home\u2014 Washington, March 25.\u2014President \u2018Wilson kept pace today with his pre- cedent-shattering reputation and ex ;

their directly chosen representatives.It is little wonder that the London Daily Telegraph should expeess the hope that Mr.Churchill's anticipation of the removal of the Canadian naval deadlock will be fulfilled, \u201cbecause every passing day renders more apparent the needed accession of strength which the Dominion would bring to the Empire.Meanwhile the British taxpayer has to pay hard cash fos the temporary failure of Mr.Borden's noble purpose.\u201d IRRESPECTIVE OF POLITICS.Liberal organs are trying to take some comfort out of the alleged fact that one of the rascals unearthed by Commissioner Ferguson's investigation into the Trent Valley scandal was a Conservative.The person mentioned is named Cinnamon.If itis a fact that this man is a Conservative, there is all the more credit\u2019 due the Borden Government for the' prompt and indiscriminate manner in which it smoked the rascals out, irrespective of politics, The fact is that the whole system of graft and corruption was carried on under the superintendency of Mr.McClellan, whose instructions received from the Hon.Mr.Stratton were probably the moving muse of the whole corrupt plot.For years prior.to 1912 Supt.McClellan had purchased his dynamite from a personal and political friend named Kingan, who carried on business in the form of a joint stock company known as the Kingan Company.After the change of government, sometime in 1912, Mr.McClellan introduced a middleman named Cinnamon, through whom the purchase of dynamite were made from Kingan.This Cinnamon is the person whom the Liberals say was a Conservative.Whether he was Conservative or Liberal, he received very short shrift from the present Government, and it is highly\" improbable that his grafting propeñsities will ever be a menace to the\u2019 country in future.* The same may be said of Supt.-MeClellan, who has been dis missed t for his complicity + in the crooked system in vogue for so many years at this canal.- The only point that the Liberals are able to make by calling attention to the fact that one of the persons implicated was a Conservative, is to emphasize the determination of the Borden Government to see that wrong-doers are exposed and denied opportunity of plundering the Treasury.There might have been little odium attaching to the Laurier Government for the disgusting system of fraud and corruption in connection with the Trent Valley Canal, had the members of that administration put an end to the operations of the grafters years ago, but they allowed the system to continue and to flourish year after year and it was not till the Borden Government was in power for almost à year that the conduet of the plunderers came under the searchlight of official investigation.And that the searchlight was turned on them is due exclusively to the determination of the Borden Government to see that every department of the public service is carried on as far as may be honestly and capably and without the polluting interference of any party machine.The days of \u201cDark Lantern\u201d methods are over, \u2014 vat rns.In a leading article yesterday, while speaking of the fact that Mr.Bosse\u2019s affidavit was given into the hands of people who might hold it to use as a weapon against Mr.Lockwell in case he became refractory, we said they there was s very ugly name for that kind of thing.The reference, was to the \u201cholding\u201d of the afidayits with the object of closing Mr.Lockwell\u2019s mouth if he should oppose the Dorchester Electric Company.Hd LL » * PRESS COMMENT.9 .® British citizens and some officials are making a great effort to buy Waterloo battlefield and keep it for ever as a park to perpetuate the fame of those who fought the battle.It is said that business men

French Dominion for a number of years.when Napoleon fell.It is in obedience to a sort of foolish in satisfaction of a few people that it id proposed to go into Belgium and because of the fighting that was done there.The sopner nations forget their quarrels, the better for them all.It is the fashion in Europe to name streets and bridges, sometimes even public buildings, after battleficlds on which a nation has won victories.But the principle involved is all wrong, for the reason that it tends to perpetuate the recollection of enmities that were extinguished only in blood and attended with endless suffering.About nine-tenths of the debts of European countries is due to wars and the people in that entire continent will not have their debts paid within any calculable time in the future.No one imagines that in a thousand years from now that debts will be extinguished or even wuch lessened, so that there is the enormous burden imposed upon hundreds of millions because of the ambitions of comparative ly few men.Everything that tends to keep alive the sense of those things is a mistake in policy and in practice.| Of course, it is well to remember battlefields in which a nation has repelled the invader gr maintained its independence by its valor, but to go into & foreign country and there establish a memorial of war is in wretched taste and worse conduct.Perhaps, though, it is not to be expected that Christian principles shall be applied to international affairs.\u2014Buffalo News.President Wilson laid down the principle in his campaign that there should be but one White House term.He his not introduced legislation to this end, and is suspected of harbor-, ing a hope that there will be no bar to his return for a second period of four years.Friends of the president are saying that he cannot hope for a second term, no matter.Opponents of Woodrow Wilson predict freely, and are said to be placing their money alongside their prediction, that he could not be.clected president tomorrow, much less in 1916.The reason is not his course upon the Panama Canal tolls., In a measure it may have to do with his weak attitude upon the Mexican situation.What is really disposing of his future ss a political head of the nation is the trade policy that finds more men out of work in the country than is years.The discovery already has been made that German and ish manufactures cannot be infrdiuced into the United States without taking work from the United States workingmen.The United States farmer is worried because his home market is being Aboded with food products from the Argentine, New Zealand, Australia and Canada.He sees beef cattle entering his home field to compete with him, yet is able to discover no drop in prices in anything that either he or the city consumer must buy.A very large and influential clas are being taxed heavily upon their incomes and are finding out that what they contribute in this way is what the foreign producer formerly contributed.Apparently no one in the United States is benefiting by reason of the reduced tariff.The cost of living has not come down.\u2014London Free Press.LISTEN MOTHER 00 BE CAREFUL IF CHILD Is

at any rate, there are rumors of approaches to financial and shipbuilding interests in this country with the view to the creation of a fleet of flour-carrying steamers.In these circumstances one may usefully refer (0 the records relating to enterprises of this class with a view to obtaining some idea of the chances of : success of the latest proposal of this nature.History appears tc show that in the past such ventures, after a brief and not necessarily altogether unsuccessful career, have been absorbed by their trade rivals, as must generally be the case, for shipping is a competitive industry as much as any other trade, and no matter what the class à of freight or the route, rates as a rule | are quoted as low Ws circumstances ! warrant.Consequently, if some enterprising persons undercut the mar.| ket figure, the probability is that they will suffer for their temerity.This is ! ! likely to prove the case in connection ; with Canadian flour shipments by a privately owned line, these being by no means the easiest of- cargoes, for they require careful stowing and handling generally, Such an enterprise could scarcely hope to command much public support, and experienced judges consider that, should the fleet be constructed, it wil eventually enable some other old-estab- lished shipowner to acquire a considerable amount of new tonnage on a cheaper \u2018basis than it could be obtained from the shipbuilders.This, of course, is a diplomatic way of zut- ting the matter.One hopes, however, that it will be sufficient warning for enterprising Canadians, who must remember that they cannot alter economic laws merely by the turning of 8 screw, or even by the institution of private shipping companies.On the contrary, it may be doubted whether such an enterprise will be able to work even as cheaply as do the existing companies.CLOZING MARKET J.RTTERS.Received by Brees & Gourdeen, stock brokers, 63 dt.Peter St.and $ Sault au Metelot.New York, March 25.\u2014Aside from weakness in Corn Products Issues and Bethlehem Steel, the opening of the stock market today was featureless and dull, but bear pressure appeared shortly afterward and moderate recessions develeped throughout the cenerat list.Stocks were seemingly well bought ow the decline, however, and dulness followed the selling mevement, Panhandle furnished a surpfise around mid-day in announcing dividend reductions on both its common and preferred issues, poor earnings being \u2018given as the cause, but this action was without effect, so iar as the market values, generally, d SAILINGS.° DIRECTORY OF OCEAN nT Quetesrol Tt ry td Agente, ir HATE li NOT bli Hi Cermanis .! 1 New Ame = fa y amburg Wim, Bg Bel ALLAN LINER.M.3.Virginian, from Liverpool, is due at St.john, N.B., tomorow: (Friday) morning.Steamer Scotian, from Giasgow for Halifax and Portland, docked at Halifax on Tuesday morning.CUNARD LINE Steamer Ascania arrived ct Plymouth on Tuesday morning.DONALDSON LINE.Steamer Saturnia, from Glasgow, arrived at St.John, N.B., yesterday.QUEBEC STEAMSHIP CO.Steamer Bermudian sailed from New York for Bermuda at 10 a.m.yesterday.WHITE STAR LINE : PANAMA CRUISE Steamer Laurentic arrived at Barbadoes at 7 a.m.and sailed at 6 p.mon Tuesday, March 24th.FREIGHTS AND CHARTERS.New Yors, March 25\u2014A limited amount of chartering was reported in the steamer market, and additional freights of various kinds offered in limited numbers.Rates were quotubly steady in all teades.Quotations to Liverpool, 1 1-4d, nominal;
