The deceased {s a sturdily built man of some 35 years old, with dark brown | hair and a fair moustache, DECIDES TO CO-OPERATE WITH SPEYER SYND CATE Thomas J.Drummond Believes Soo Difficulty Will Soon be Settled.Mr.Thos.J.Drummond, Canadian representative on the reorganization committee of the Consolidated Lake superior Company, returned to-day from Philadelphia, where he attended mectings of the cominitter, Ç Discussing the work of the committee, Mr.Drummond said that It had on the advice of attorneys decided to co-operate with the Speyer syndicate in working out the new Speyer pla.The work the committee had done would fall in with the plan as planned, The conditions of the new Speyer plan would not be announced till the arrangements between the Moffly committee and the Speyer syndicate had been completed.Mr.Drummond added that he was pleased with the work done by the attorneys of the committee, Mr.+ \u2014 | HALF-MINUTE INTERVIEWS Mr.S.Tamura, of Kobe, Japan\u2014The Canadian flour of Manitoba will in a large measure replace the American article in Japan.Mr.E.8.Clouston, general manager of the Bank of Montreal\u2014I do not think that the Grand Trunk should have any difficulty In gecuring all the capital required tn carry out the Grand Trunk Pacific project.!

London, Dec.21.\u2014Lord Strathcona, when interviewed, sald that the announcement that Canada had purchased Greenland was premature, Such a purchase was not within the range of practical politics at present.T THOUGHT T0 BE IMMINENT Japan Has Not Refused Business Proposition But Asks for Reconsideration.Paris, Dec, 21.\u2014A despatch received from Tokio to-day says that Japan has not yet answered Russia's first proposition.The officials =ay this shows that the alarmist reports of the English war correspondents saying Japan has answered in the negative are incorrect: und that Japan continues to seek means for meeting hussia\u2019s overtures, On the other hand, another Tokio despatch frankly sets forth the agitated state of Japanese public sentiment and the intense feeling against Russia, and foreshadows the possible despatch of Jupanese troops to Corea; but, it is added, if this is done it will be with the assent of Russia, which will re- lteve the expedition of having the sig- pificance of war move against Russia.The official advices from St.Peters- burg continue to have a hopeful tone, and, with advices from Toklo of the same tenor, the authorities here assert they have good reusdn to believe that the situation, although serious, has not reached a point where à war crisis is imminent, Asks Londen, Dee, 21.\u2014-It is generally un* derstood, says the Tokio correspondent or the Times, that Japan asks Russla to reconsider her reply.The reply contained no tangible concession, inasmuch as it excluded Jupun altogethar from the Manchurian question and proposed an equal position for the two powers In Korea.Rothschild\u2019s Opinion, London, Dec.21.\u2014Lord Rothschild, while decliming to-day to venture an opinion as to the outrome of the Jap- unese-ltussian crisis, said to the Associated Press: \u201cOne of the most important fuctors is whether America Will seize the oppo- tunity to press her claims for open ports in Manchuria.If she does so ot vould certainly help a peacetul soln- tion.I have heard of no suggested loany, either Japanese or Russian.What they would have to do in case of war is a hypothesis bdo not care to fiseuss, The present conditions are quite puzzling enough withçut endeuv- cring to prophesy.\u201d Japanese-Fussian war risks at Tloyds to-day rose to 35 guineas Ter cent, tno the end of January and 45 to the end ot February.Cargo insurance jumped fom 5 to 20 shillinge.Thé owners of (wo cargoes Reconsideration.already half way to Japan found difficulty in effecting insurance even at the latter rate, Stocks Opened Dll.London, Dee.21.\u2014Rusiness on Lie Stock Exchange to-day opened flat on the Far Eastern situation Japanese | fell half a point, Consols went down three-eighths and Russian stocks declined half a point.CENTRAL WORKSHOP FOR CITY IS RECOKIMENDED Report of Special Committee Will be SubmTited To-day at Meeting of Council.The report of the spec'al Central Workshop Committee will Le presented to the City Council to-day.The report recommends that the three workshops now maintained by the city should be amalgamated as soon 58 possible into one, and that the management should be transferred from three us at present the control of one.Ald.Martineau, chairman of the special committer, told a Herald represnta- tive that the two chief benefits to be rived from the charge would be a groat lessening of expense and an increase In efficiency.\u201cAt present three geparate staffs of mechanics are maintained, and it is impossible to keep the men busy all the time, because there isn't the work to do.Tt ls proposed to have only one staff which would reqgulre fewer men, and at tne same time æive even better \u2018 service, It would do away with any overlapping of work, and the work would be done more expeditiously under one directing head than three.\u201d ee IS ASPHYXIATED IN HIS ROOM.William Ingram Dies From inhaling Fumes of Coal Gas.William Ingram, 40 veurs of age, was found dead at Nn.6 Stanley street this morning, where he occupied a ryom.Death was apparently the result of asphyxiation, as the gas waa found to he full on tn the room.The coroner has heen communicated with and an enquiry will be held in dua course, WON'T WIDEN GREENE AVENUE, Westmount Town Council Dscides This After Hearing Report.The Westmount Town Council.;
