Clal report will be interesting reading to of their tour and undoubtedly their offi Canadian agriculturists.They have apparently found much to admire in Canada and something to criticize, which has i been done with the Scotch shrewdness.Mr.R.B.Greig.one of the commis- ston, declares the Quebec farmers are the most conservative and interesting, but the worst farmers in the Dominion.While regarding the Ontario farmers he observes that a Buchan man would cut more thistles with less dash.There 1s plenty of room in Outario fur men with capital, be says, though the land is not cheap.Mr.Greig points out that there is a quantity of land wasted in Quebec and New Brunswick for want of shevn because each man must keen a useless dog.The Canadian azricuitural colleges are chjeets of the warmest appreciation.THE MONTREAL motif WOULD NOT STAND IT.\u2014 New-Comers Turn Tables on Assailants Near Angus Shops.LANDLORD FIRES REVOLVER iN INTERESTS OF PEACE AND QUIETNESS.The sensational rumors which are flying around the city to-day about 4a fight with revolvers among a crowd of workmen outside the Angus shops last night, about flying bullets, exciting rescues and hairbreadth escapes, appear tO have grown out of a brawl of very uttle inportance.It seems that on Tuesday evening two or three of the Angus shors workmen, who have just recently came out trom Great Britain, were molested by other workingmen while in the Angus Hotel, on Nolan street.They told their comrades about this, and last night about forty of the newcomers turned up at the hotel, looking for the assailants ot their comrades.They found them, and gave them, so an eye-witness says, \u2018as pretty an exhibition of fisticuffs as l've seen for a long time.\u201d In fact, the newcomers swept all before them.The battle was short and sharp, and the victory was with the attacking force.In the middle of the excitement the landlord of the inn, who wanted peace ana quietness at any price, tried the novel experiment of firing the revolver into the air again and again.\u201cMeanwhile somebody sent for the po: lice, and a large force quickly arrived under Inspector Leggatt, to find the scene quite rural in its peacefulness.Snape TEN SHILLINGS A DAY.(Canadian Associated Press.)

I think they're just sweet!\u2019 , She went up to them, and all eyes in the rotunda were focussed on the scene.\u2018Where do you little boys come from?\u2019 she asked, and then, suddenly remembering they were from the Celestial Empire, she added, \u2018Spikee Ingliss, you?One of the little ones, with a emile that made her pretty doll like face look charming, replied, in the most pertect English, \u2018Yes, we speak English.And we're not little boys.We're little girls.We come from Victoria.\u2019 There was a general! laugh.The American lady blushed and \u2018e- tired, and the Chinese lady looked after ber with an expressionless gaze.It turned out that the head of the family was Mr.Lee May Koy, and Mr.Tee May Koy said he didn't wart any small room, nor yet a back room, nor yet a room a dozen stories high.What he wanted was a suite of rooms, and the best suite that the house could put at his dieposal.| \u2018Yes, sir; most certainly!\u2019 said the almost awestruck clerk.Île named the figure for the best suite available\u2014a fig- | yre that would make any second-rate traveller gasp.Mr.Lee May Koy signified his approval in English spoken with a Chinese accent, and off went the party to their room.They are comfortably established in the big hotel, and numerous guests are hoping for the opportunity of making the acquaintance of \u2018two of the cutest little girls you ever saw.\u2019 Mr.Lee May Koy was quite ready for a chat, when called upon later, but, as he said, he had \u2018not much for say.\u201d It was only a little trip for a holiday that he was taking, he said.He is a merchant in Victoria, B.C., and he thought he would like to take his family acroes Canada and show them the country.He will stay some days in Montreal, will visit the local Chinese, and will then go on to New York.Here are the names of his party, as entered in the register: Lee May Koy, Miss L.Yuk Wah May Koy, Miss Lee Gam Yee, Mrs.Lee Tho Can Chung, and Lam Lai Bay.\u2019 THE CHINATOWN MURDER \u2014\u2014\u2014 TRIAL OF FRANK SMITH COMMENCED BEFORE KING\u2019S BENCH JURY.The case of Frank Smith, alias Frank Wilson, alias Horace Prather, accused of murdering James Enright, alias Michael Malone, was called for trial in the Court of King\u2019s Bench to-day, and when the jury pad been chosen an adjournment was taken for luncheon.When the panel had been exhausted for the first time only six jurymen had been sworn.At the outset Judge Tren- holme asked if it was the desire to have an English-speaking jury try the case, but Mr.R.A.E.Greenshields, who appeared tor Smith, would not commit himself, Many of the English jurymen called were challenged for cause, and afterwards stood aside on a pre-emptory challenge, while the Crown stood aside the French jurymen with the evident intention of selecting an English-speaking jury.Going over the list for the second time there was considerable squabbling between counsel as to the order of calling the names.In the end a mixed jury was sworn, seven English-speaking and five French, as follows: Thos.J.McHart, John Byrne, A.W.Murray, D.McLean, Robert Brown, Her- - bert Braithwaite, Eugene Brais, Joseph Godin, D.Supble, Israel Nantel, Honoré Pepin and Vallance Theoret.In the afternoon Lieut.-Colonel Hib.bard, the Crown prosecutor, laid the Crown's story before the jury, to the effect that, following a row in a Chinese house on Lagauchetiere street, on the night of July 6, Smith returned next day at noon and shot Enright dead, then disappeared and afterwards returned to Montreal and was arrested at the Russell House on St.James street.nan TO GO VIA CANADA.(Canadian Associated Press.)

study the views cf those who have become adepts and Vardon continues thue:\u2014'Sorhe people rec- cmmend practice of one kind or another, = h.lc others maintain that, like poets, golfers are born,

must upset a man's game more effectively than almost anything else, and another fruitful source of extra strokes arieee from over-eagerness on the part ef the player.For instance, it is often an irreeistible temptation for a man who has got into a bad lie to try and get a long ball by using a brassy where probably a niblick would serve the purpose more effectively.The result of such methods is too often most disastrous, and means the piling up of strokes which, with proper Judgment, would never have become necessary at all.Perhaps the best advice to the man who wishes to \u2018improve hie game is that he should watch the methods of the best players and try to imftate to the best of his ability the means by which they reach the desiréd cnë.Then can always fall back upon

Chinamen are arriving in British Columbia.Departmental statistics at Ottawa are quoted to show that 1,481 Chinamen entered Canada during the first five months of this year.Each paid the head tax of $500.In May and June there were three hundred and eighty each month, though the largest number any month last year was two hundred and one.This Dominion must be to these Chinamen a land of hope, when they are willing to pay this exorbitant head tax for the privilege of coming here to work.They arc not capitalists who come te exploit our natural resourc:s.Most of them are poor men whose relations have subscribed the funds that enable them to enter the country.All they seek 1s the opportunity to labor and save their earnings.The money reward for labor , Ness, Parlia- many ( THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS is 80 much larger in Canada than in China that these workers consider the opportunities Canada offers well worth the five hundred dollars.When the question is raised, why the Chinese prosper as they do and place white men at a disadvantage, the common reply \u2018is that the Chinese save by living in a degraded way, but this seems to be another name for great frugality.The Chinese have their vices, Lut in point of cleanliness they are, as a rule, better fit than white men for indoor positions.They are dainty in their diet and in their luxuries, and keep their persons and clothing scrupulously clean.With the disadvantage of not knowing our language and being strangers to our ways they can almost uniformly prosper where the white men with their semi-barbarous wastefulness would suffer want.To compete with the Chinese would, in many cases, not be s0 much a question of lowering the standard of living as of raising it by ceasing to spend money and strength or.deleterious extravagaaces and by abandoning happy-go-luck ways and by living purposefully, like the China- man, keeping the eye steadily fixed on the object aimed at.At all events, compete with them we shall have to before many years have passed, as civilized industries and methods are making their way into countries where the labor is Chinese, and if the product is good and cheaper than ours, we should be fools not to buy it.e\u2014\u2014 MORE TAXATION.Mr.Rolland, in his very able presidential address before the Manufacturers\u2019 Association, declared that what had enabled Canada to weather so well the recent financial break-down was our system of moderate protection to industries.We do not know whether he put the accent on the word moderate, as we should do.We are inclined to think, as compared with the United States, that our better banking system had most to do with our -~omparative immunity, and our better insurance conditions something also.But if there is anything in the tariff theory, it must have bcen due to the comparative moderation of our tariff, as that is the notable distinction between it and that of the United States.Mr.Rolland was, however, speaking what proved to be the mind of many in the convention when he voiced the view that, if we wished a continuance in our country of the woollen industry, we must have higher protection for it.He did not aver that the woollen industry was a blessing to the country, but, addressing that particular audience, that meaning should probably be read into his remarks.From other speakers we gather that the manufacturers _hink they could perhaps get on if the British preference were only abolished, and that that is what they are .sking for.Sir Wilfrid Laurier has told them the government is not convinced that they need it, that it is not shown fhat the difficulties are other than temporary owing to the general stringency of busi- and that in times like these they are not prepared to add to the taxation of the people.Whether Mr.Borden and his party would see their way clear to add to the people's taxation for this purpose they have not told us.Our manufacturers, almost to a man, have counted themselves imperialists, and the press that advocates their privileges has been singularly unanimous in expressions of abhorrence of the present English Government as the ruin of the Empire because it would not adopt Mr.Chamberlain's scheme of imperial preference.Yet far from being willing to concede anything to Great Britain in our markets they have steadily pressed for the abolition of the preference already given.They would, of course, be quite ready to favor Britain by adding any amount che might wish to our duties against »ther countries so long as the duties against Britain's .own goods were wsuffizient to exclude them.This uncompromising attitude of the professed imperialists of Canada astounded the British imperialists, who, like Mr.Chamberlain, real- lv wanted to create some sort of a customs union, and broke some of their hearts.It would perhaps be wiser, however, if we looked on our tariffs, not as favors or otherwise to Britain.but as they affect our own prosperity.Practically speaking, we are convinced that we Canadians shall for the most part act in the way which we think will best serve our own interests.Our welcome to the British preference no doubt came out of a full heart of loyalty to the glorious empire to which we are proud to belong, and whose protection we enjoy without paying for it.But we own that that welcome was primarily based on the fact that it was a substantial step towards removing the burdens which fall upon our common people.Now, taking our duties on woollens as they stand, thirty percent against Great | Britain and thirty-five against the rest of the world, we gather that the demand, in which the cotton men \u2018stand pat\u2019 with the woollen men, is that the duty against Great Britain shall be raised to thirty-five percent, as thirty percent is mot enough to keep out British goods.In other words, we Canadians have now to pay a dollar and thirty cents for every dollar's worth of clothes we wear in order that they should be made in the country, chiefly out of foreign woel, and we are told that in order to force us to use only Canadian-made goods we ought to be willing to pay a dollar ard thirty-five cents for every dollar\u2019s worth, or possibly a dollar and forty cents, if that be necessary to confine us to the product of our unprofitable mills.The alternative to our doing this will be to see an industry that employs some four thousand people, young and old, perish.As this thirty-five cents represents.roughly, the part of the cost of the goods that is paid in wages, it is plain that it would pay the country just as well to pension all those workers at the full rate of their wages and buy our woollens where they would help pay for the farm products we send to Britain.We our selves do mot believe our woollen manufactures would disappear if our whole tariff was reduced tv a ten percent average.There were prosperous woollen mills when there was no protection.What is the use of making our country such a dear one to live in that we must pay higp, wages and then tax the people to pay those high wages to dissatisfied workers ?We would prosper much more with no interference.But even if the woollen manufacture is a business that cannot exist in the country without taxing the people heavily for its support we do not se the force of that argument as warranting such taxation.et A GREAT EXAMPLE.The Canadian Pacific Railway Company, the strongest financial institution in Canada, in order to conform to a practice that is becoming quite general on this continent, and is universal in Europe, had its last annual report, the bal ance sheet and accounts, examined and certified by Messrs.Price, Waterhouse & Co., one of the most reputable firms of English chartered accountants.The financial statement of the company for the year ended June 30, 1908, is therefore not only vouched for by Mr.I.G.Ogden, third vice-nresident, as in the past, but is attested by the following auditors\u2019 certificate: \u2018We have examined the books \u2018and records of the Canadian Pacific \u2018 Railway Company for the fiscal year \u2018ending June 30, 1908, and having com- \u2018pared the annexed balance sheet and \u2018income account therewith, certify \u201cthat, in our opinion, the balance sheet \u201cis properly drawn up so as to show the \u2018true financial position of the company \u2018at that date, and that the relative in- \u2018come account for the year is correct.\u201d The \u2018Witness\u2019 has urged the necessity of an independent audit ever since the annual balance sheets of the Banque Ville Marie were proved to be so false: and the subsequent statements of the Ontario Bank, Banque de St.Jean and others, have only hammered home further that necessity.In Great Dritain, no bank or other joint stock company would think for a moment of issuing a financial statement without an independent andi- tor\u2019s certificate, and the time muat come when the rule will be universal in Canada.we Those who oppose audit for the do so on the ground that the business of banking and especially the branch bank system is so complex that efficient independent audit is impossible.That, however, is not the experience of the London & County, Capital and Counties, Lloyds, London & Provincial.London & Westminster, London (Sty & Midland, and other English joint stock banks with numerous branches.Neither is it the experience of the Bank of Nova Scotia, the strongest bank in the country, of its size, with a capital of three million dollars and a reserve account of five million four hundred thousand dollars, the \u2018rest,\u2019 therefore, being 180 percent of the capital.This bank adopted an independent audit voluntarily, for the satisfaction and safety of its shareholders and depositors, and has had every reason to congratulate itself upon its wisdom\u2014its common sense.But granting that banking bookkeeping is complex, and that the branch bank system makes it more so, how much more complex must be the bookkeeping of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, with its ships on two oceans, its thousands of miles of railway, its commercial, industrial, and manufacturing interests, its thousands of employees of diverse kinds, and what not ?If the Canadian Pacific Railway Company has found it well to adopt the independent audit, there is no excuse for lesser interests to decry it on the score of the complexity of their businesses.It is well known that some of our most distinguished bankers to-day are in favor an independent banks | of the independent audit, if not

provide the bookkeeping machinery necessary to keep the ac counts of its branches accurate.Tt at the head office where there may he danger of improper manipulation.It was so in the case of the Banque Ville Marie, the Ontario Bank, and others; and in every case of a Canadian bank going wrong, so far as we recall, the trouble would have effectively checked, indeed, could hardly have occurred, f the head office books and documents had been subject to thorough investigation._\u2014\u2014 KING AND SULTAN.The King\u2019s birthday Is Sultan is rather an admonition than à.pure congratulation.like a bee, it has a sting in ita tail\u2014the gist Of it 35 in the post-script.It known that the Sultan took advantage of the Young Turk rising to rid is well get camarilla which he feared more than the.nation did, and to restore a vizier who had long been in political banishment.He did this at the cost of restoring tn the people the constitution abortively granted to the people a third century ago.No one is sure how far he means this constitution *o be real.of à but all believe that it will last a= lonx | as the present grand vizier semains In office.The King's message say= there is every reason to hope that under the enlightened direction of so cminent a grand vizier, Your Majesty's empire will have a peaceful and prosperons future.It 1s certainly not usual for one sovereign to offer another advice as to the choice of his ministers, und this de; parture 1s a notable one.King thought it only fair to the Turkish people, whose hearts had in the day of their jov turned to England as the mother of Liberty, and possibly as the natural defender of it.\u2018La Douma est morte; vive Ja Douma!\u2019 was the memorable exclamation of C(ampbell- Bannerman to the Russian Constitution- alists met in England aîter the Czar had dismissed his second arluament.This was a somewhat similar form of British government interv>n\u2018ion on behalf of parliamentary government In countries aspiring to it.The sympathy of Britain has also been distinctly with the parliamentary party mn Persa.What does all this mean for Egypt.which has just, in so far es a little gathering of, shall we call them.Fgyp- tians, in Geneva can speak for her, giv-: en Great Britain formal notice to withdraw from the banks of the Nil.And what does it mean in India where the same sort of talk is ebnlhen:.If Great Britain was to withdraw from Egypt the probability js that the result would be similar to that of the withdrawal of the United States from Cuba.The people would be at each others threats in a few months, and to preven: other powers from taking Great Britain would need again to do so.That is as it seems.Egypt contains Turks, Arabs, Nubians, Copts Fellaheen but only the lowest are lgyp- tians.Yet after we hear of Turks hu: ging the graves of slaughtered Armemans and promising a memorial to them as the first martyrs of the struggle which has achieved liberty, and after we hear of Albanian tribesmen hanging a comrad: for murdering a Greek, we know not what tv say as to the possibilities of possession and nationality.magogues, whose only bond of union 1s their English education, and the ignorant Bengali populace, know very well that India could not hold together without the British raj.Dut the aspirations of baboos to parliamentary government an to the operation of political machinery in imitation of all they have read ahouy in the ways of free countries, are most natural, and the fact that in India the whites have aiways insisted on being treated as a superior race, and treated the people of the land as inferiors, gives their propaganda argument enough.We should conclude from it all that the best hope of Great Britain for Holding her empire together is to follow in the linu of her own traditions and deeper sympathies and encourage the peoples whom she has in tutelage to develop as fust as in them lies towards self-government.ere DESTROYED GUN SIGHTS INSUBORDINATION AMONG CREW OF H.M.8S.\u2018GIBRALTAR.London, Sept.17.\u2014As a mark of their disapproval at being called out at night to repeat an evolution which had been improperly performed in the day time, the crew of the British eruiser \u2018Gibraltar,\u201d while on the way to Australia, destroyed all the gun sights on board.As a punishment all the customary privileges of the crew, including smoking and the use of the canteen, have been stopped, until the culprits are discovered.The \u2018Gibra'tar is at present at Albany, West Australia, where she has taken part in the welcome

this city have taken exception to some reports which have been published regarding prices paid for cheese at certain markets in Eastern Ontario and Quebec, some of which, it is said, have been incor- rert.This matter has been taken up with the \u2018Witness,\u2019 and we have informed those with whom we have conversed that we publish only such reports as supplied by the difierent cheese boards.For instance, at a certain Eastern Ortario market last Friday the official figure given out by the board as the price paid ty buyers was 12% cents for all cheese offered.As a matter of fact 1244 cents was the price paid for all cheese offered and soid, which was 838 white and 225 colored.It may also be said that at a certain Eastern Townships market last Saturday 12 7-16 cents was paid for a portion of the offerings, 12 1-8 cents for cthers, and that a portion remained unsold.These were afterwards sold mostly at 12 1-8 cents, while à few lots sold up to 124 cents.The information, as supplied by some of the :heese boards, has teen misleading,according to local merchants, and has caused considerable iaconvenience to the wholesala trade, as well as general annoyance.F'or instance, if à man in the country chips his cheeso to Montreal on the basis of a certain market and a newspaper putlishes incorrect reports as to prices.which are usually higher than the actual figures paid, the factoryman naturally feels that be Is not being paid ths market prices.It is not an uncommon thing for secretaries of factories to send into the city reports clirped from papers as authority for the reported mar- it prices as furnished by those responsi- Je.It was stated on \u2019Change this morning that the matter is likely to come up for discussion Lefore the Wholesale Produce Association.when efforts will be nade to place the responsibility for the publication of certain misleading reports, MINING STOCKS IN DEMAND ON LOCAL EXCHANGE The market is a little stronger this morning.Crown Reserve sold at

Stocks Taking a Position in the Market to Which Merit Entitles Them.\u2014 The Cobalt stocks seem to have the call in the outside securities marke.now, not only in Canada but in the United States, al*hough there 1s no undue ¢xcitement about it.There is this much to say about it, howe er, the Cobalts are attracting more attention from the traders and investors than any group of securities on he curb.Although the leading issues in the Cohait region, so far as the outside securiires market is concerned at the present time, are Croewn Rescrve, Nipissing, La Rose, Con- colidated and Cobalt Central, ther?are several other properties there which are very productive anc valuable.Some of them are paying dividends and others are about to make disvursements,ané all are being worked in both a scientific and a practical way.This is one of the attractive features of the Cobalt region.Invesiors do not rare where mines are located, having no preference for any particular «cction of the continent, just s0 they contain the ore and are operated in a Lusiness-like manner.It i.settled that the Cobalt is no longer a freak camyg, values now being tound at depth.and as its permanency has teen established, investors do not take as many chances as they did in the days when Nipissing was practically the whole thing.The Cal:ualt got a black eye at the timo of the Nipissing splurge, and many persons were very hard hit, tut the memories of this are gradually fading away.No one expects to make a million aollars a minute and common sense is more apparent on ev- cry side.These stocks are taking a position in the merket to which their merits entitle them and manipulation play\u201d a much Nova Scotia\u2014-500 at ü8, 1,000 at 68, 1,200 at 64, 25 at Bg, 500 at

were confirmatory of the estimat> of the situation, says Mr.Edmund KHandolsh, in his Wall Street letter to-day,which many conservative people have held some lite time past.Fundamentally, conditions are ail right, and from the low stat wbich prevailed last fall, recovery ot a most gratifying character has taken place, but the fact must not be lost sight of that the stock market has very generously discounted this recovery.The political situation, with its various complications, is naturally an unsettling influence.The student of railway earnings, as published from time to time.is brought face to face with the problem as to what extent railways can continue to pay their present line of dividends with the exception, of course, of certain proporties whose earn'ngs are ver wonderful in the face ot what the country bas gone throuzh with, One fact that has certainly tended to intensify th uncettied feeling of the lust few days has been the suspense in which the holders of Great Northern Ore ceortiii- cates have been held, the failure of the trustees, v.ho must declare this dividend to issue any statement or to have the dividend declared, makes people apprehensive as to their final action, which is more unsettling smaller part in their fiuctuations than formerly.even than the absolute knowledge of what Capital paid up, $6,000,000.A general LETTERS OF CREDIT City

And the glass coach was just full of candy! You could see the candies, in pink and white and all colors, through the glass.Aline spelled out the gold letters on the glass.\u201cCandy Makers and Confectioners\u2019 Union,\u201d and, as the delicious coach came opposite their house, she clasped her little thin hands in delight.\u2018Oh, mamma, isn\u2019t it lovely!

And, oh! see those candv apples and candy peaches and candy grapes \u2014and oh.oh, see that dear little candy girl, looking as if she were truly driving the ponies!

cheeks were growing and how her eves sparkled, she almost wished the kind doctor had not allowed her little daughter to see the parade.The candy wagggon was now quite past, and Aline\u2019s mother coaxed her into the house.In fact, Aline did not care to see anv more of the parade.She was so much pleased with the little glass coach and the little eandy girl that she could talk about nothing else
