at the suggestion of members of the Dominion cabinet.1 \u2018After a time it was evident that \u201cto transaction was possible, and ne- , gotiations were dropped.\u2019 \u201c1 desire to say that Lord Shaugi- | nesys is under a complete -misappre- | hension as to the origin of the nego- | tiations referred to, which were init- yiated by the two companies tnem- i selves, and not by the gavernment.We became aware that such negotiations liad been initiated and that they involved, as a part of the transaction, the surrender of the forty million dollars of stock of the Canadian Northern Railway Company held by the Dominion government: In one or more interviews [ discussed the matter informally with Mr.Beatty.vice- president of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company.My conclusion was that the transaction was impracticable and 1 so informed Mr.Beatty, at the same time, that nothing further should be done in the matter pending a full consideration by the government of the report of the Railway Commission, which had come to hand some time before.had not yet been taken under delib- | È its best consideration the government determined to acquire the eapi- tal stock of the Canadian Northern Railway Company.and introduced into parliament the necessary legisia- tion to that end.lord Shaughnessy refera to \u2018personal investments in unfortunate ven tures, such as coal mines.lumber mills, hlast furnaces.and other works alleged to have heen undertaken for the advantage of the Canadian Northern enterprises.but heing, in fact, private speculations of the promoters of the railway company, As the mines, lumber mills, furnaces and other works referred tn are not owned bv the Canadian Northern Railway Company it is to he pointed out that they are not within the seope of the arbitration for determining the values of the Canadian Northern Railway shares which are to be acquired by the government.\u201d (ORDONS LONDON DRY CIN GORDONS OLD TOM GIN GORDONS SLOE GIN [J = -

democrat and a man of deep popular sympathies.He showed high executive talent in Rhoderia and enhanced this reputation in Canada where he worked hard for imperial federation while being at the same time a stout advocale of colonial autonomy.The brilliant laurels of the Canadians in the war show how well he livined their sentiments and the future in his appeals to them to pay and play their part in the defense of Great Britain.AN his mature life Karl Grey was interested, eagerly and effectively, in the amelioration of social condiitons.He introdyced co-operation in \u2018his Northumberlard estate.His effort and plan to reform British public houses and to promote the sale of nonintoxicant: in them are known to sil social reformers.He was an able financier, an energetic, tireless, and always modest administrator.He was the friend of Mr.Choste, Mr.Roosevelt, Mr.Taft, and many other Americans.and of America.À federation of Englsh-speaking peoples was his dream or hope.He lived to see a close sympathy between all \u2018branches of English-speaking mea, fighting together for the sème cause.An active, useful, fruitful life, CL SI ¢ Cortes .PAY A CALL TO \u2019 - \"THR PASHIONABLE STORE to the city, during the Pabibition, are cordially Invited to maire \u201can inspection of Novelties for M\" Fashionable Stare, Ÿ.Dpatte 194 8.John Street., opt dad.public activities We quote the following from the Montreal Gazette:\u2014 \u201cLa Presse comments favorably in aa article is the Standord of St.Catharines, Ont, which is edited by the Mayor of the town, inviting the lenders of the two provinces to get together and attempt a rapprochèmen so that they may join together an carry out the dudes which the war has imposed on the country.Im reply to the question as to the attitude of Quebec, were à coalition government formed for the purpose of putting the new obligatory law in force, La Presse states that no happy results could be obtained without reciprocal concessions.\u201cLe Standard gives as the starting point of the Entente movement the necéssity of pro- erly teaching the children the English and French languages in the schools and colleges of the two provinces.\u201cThe article in the Standard.\u201d goes on La Presse, \u201cis a sincere and foyal appeal to all loyal Canadians to put aside their prejudices in orderto took after the general interests of the nation.\u2018Let us hope.therefore, that this noble appeal will be heard.and that the mentalities of the two races shall better understand each other and study each other a great deal more.The pressure, in fact, exercised by the intelligent citizens of both provinees will finish by influencing the fanaties\u2014the cause of all the harny done\u2014and we will hail the dawn of the day that will see the English and French races working harmoniously side by side for the advancement and prosperity of our common country.\u201d With thi appesl of La Presse we are heartily in accord.\u2018Things have beef going from bad to worse for months.No matter what the truth may be, the impression amongst many intelligent men is that both the great parties of the Dominion are jockeying for position on racial issues, whilst the third is playing fast and loose with both and will do anything to exploit racial friction if only its leaders can obtain a certain amount of notoriety.Quebec cannot be ignored as a factor in the advancement and upbaild- ing of the Dominion.Quebec, on the other hand, cannot afford to have a Chinese wall drawn around it, even though some of the more fanaticad element here advocate such a thing.To give an isolated case, when the masses took the advice of an antl- English Quebec agitator the other day and started a run on the bank, the Fnglish banks stood loyatiy behind the French banks and helped them out when the latter were suffering from the effects of this insane and unparactical advice.It was not the English banks that were hit.That Quebec should he united or that Ontario should be as one is both reasonable and understandable.But that one can exist without the other \u2014any more than that the East can exist without the West unless the very spirit of Canadian patriotism is jettisoned\u2014is impossible.The component parts of the Dominion cannot be independent.They are, of necessity, interdependent.None can live fo itself alone.As we have spid, things have been going from bad to worse.Racial friction and cleavage have been accentuated.And what has been the result?What will be the result if this laizez-faire policy on the part of our leading men continues! Will it be fratricidal strife?At the least, if the present condition\u2014one might almost say \u201cstate\u201d\u2014 of affairs continues, there can be nothing but distrust and ill-feeling amongst those who have been up to a few months ago living in amity and co-operating for the general good.And it is no fault of theirs.The situation has heen fore- ed upon them almost without their realizing it.Is it too late to mend these conditions?The old proverb says not.Certainly it is time to reflect.Where the idea of peace, whatever one may say.has become a world-wide ab: session, surely we in Canada should breathe in some of this healing influence and endeavor with all justice, charity and goodwill, to set our house in order, to be true Canadians first, last and~ all the time.\u201cSHOP\u201d I8 TABOO.The list of books sent to American soldiers shows a preponderance of military and adventurous literature.Naturally this would bs the first preference by young men still rbsorbed in the novelty of warfare and still comparatively ignorant of its horrors.No figures are to hand of the likes and dislikes in figtion of the veterans, the French and English and Belgians and Germans.But from other indica tions it becomes plain that the treneh- worn warriors loathe, in their hours of leisure, anything that has to do with \"shop.\" They want to hear shout peaceful, domestic things, to have recalled to them the \u2018act that somewhere still exsts a world.of dp dinary, bloodless pursuite, of gardens and lawns and flowers aod afternoon tea, with ladies moving abent grace fuly clothed, as Barrios Hislanqer says, in billowing \u201cchin\u201d Thot ie why, we presume, so mony of them, who have relatives of their own, new se Ct tes 68 04 B Dave Robertson has also been draft- o Ne York \u2018ls 68 4m 8 ed but has been notified by the ex- a Wath.\u2018er er > 5 emption board of Portsmouth, Va, o Se Louis \u2018Cte 8 oe = where he makes his home, that he .\u2026.' will not have to appear for examina- 3 Phila.47 0 am 3 tion unt October.* 8 ® = NATIONAL LEAGUE.= Gi sliding about she pitching of the \u2014\u2014 ; jants, it looks like John McGraw $ Yesterday's Results: 2 vus touthpawing the Fest of the Na- .Phi : sl League to death, as instance a Brooklya, Yertindelohia, o.= the standing in games won, etc.of a Chicago, 12; St.Louis, 5 5 Harry Safle.Ferd Schupp and Rube ?5 \u201d ÿ enton.ey say the Giants can\u2019t § Pittsburg, 5; Cincinnati, 4.2{it spitball pitchnig.It might also be \u2014 remarked that seven teams can\u2019t hit = Nations!
