boys.Of 63 averaging twelve years of age, 58 \u2014ere cigaretie smokers.Of 133 averaging fourteen years, 125 were cigarette smokers.Of 82 averaging fifteen years, 73 were cigarette smokers, which demonstrates that 92 percent of the whole number were cigarette fiends at the time of committing the crimes for which they were committed.Forty-two of the forty-six states of the American Union bave enacted anti- cigarette laws, whilst many towns and villages \u2018have aldo passed laws.In 1800\" a \u2018weave af education pased ov-r the Btates;-und one Joss cigarettes were sold in 1899 than.the yéar before.THE GOVERNMENTS DUTY.\u2018If it can be shown that the use of cigarettes, especially by children, is hurtful to them, the question then armes whether it is the duty of this parliament to pass restrictive legislation in the form of a bill which may be based upon this resolution prohibiting the manufacture, sale and importatior of ci Is it to the public advantage to do this?Of course we know that objection is made that you are depriving grown up people of the privilege or the pleasure, whatever you may call it, of smoking cigarettes.Well, I a 1 to the good sense of this House.re are many ofher forms in which tobacco can be secure a is to re- Maclean of last Commis- had ar- not led the Bell without ENGI- , and if we cannot forgo the pleasure of smoking cigarettes for the purpose o fhelping the boys of this country, 1 am mistaken in the calibre of the men who occupy seate bere.\u2019 APP TO MEN.He appealed to the men of Canada to forego cigarette smoking for the sake of our boys.In nearly every province of Canada there are restrictive laws\u2019 to check cigarette smoking among minors, but it was represented that these measures are practically inoperative.We are all proud of our fine country, but it should be remembered that the chief national consideration is not material prosperity alone but the character and the moral tone of our people.If it was shown that cigarette-smoking saps the vitality of those who practice 1% why should Capadiaps hesitate about stamping it out.It is impossible to control an improper traffic that in liquor by restriction.The only way to cope with the sitmation is to stamp the evil out.Many people maké a bogey of the word prohibition, but Mr.Maclaren \u2018did not belong to this class.He was not afraid of prohibition, but would welcome it as the only means of dealing with this matter.Mr.Mac- laren\u2019s final appeal aroused a round of hearty applause.A POINT OF ORDER.Dr.Sproule rose to a point of order and held that the present debate was irregular because Mr, Maclaren had not given notice of his motion in the proper way.The Sueaker ruled, however, that the only irregularity was in not printing Mr.Maclaren\u2019s notice on the order paper in the proper form, which was no fault of the member for Huntingdon.THE SECONDER.MR.RICHARDSON, OF GREY, SUPPORTS THE MEASURE.out Ca- has in- learned cool air that the loss,

prohibitions.There are weight upon the House was abundant evidence that cigarette- foreign smoking was harmful to boys.In support of this he cited Mr.J.M.o; nons drawn from fm lowa Normal School, as declaring, frgm their observation, that cigarette-smoltigg is ruinous to scholars.A numb¥r.of leading United States railway corpôr&- tions refuse to empioy men who use cigarettes.\u2018Lhe lst

cigarette-smokers.Nomre Où tact with the ili effects of this evil declared that it was doing more harm even than the use of liquors.Many.of vhe states in the peighDoring re are endeavoring to uo away with cigar- etie-smoking among boys, whilst in kag- land a movement in the same direction 1 gainmg way.LU, .pa Richardson asked Jor a Jaw cake Ing it easy for e ple to .y whilst throwing difficulties in the way of wrongdoing.This, he remarked in conclusion, is not a party question, but one that appeals to the highest instimets of those who are called on to vote upon it.- MR.FRANK OLIVER.Mr.Frank Oliver believed that cigarette smoking was an evil, and profs therefore, to support the present-biB: «It the principle was adopted no one would be injured, whilst many would be better off.At the same time, he thought the matter one that came more properly dt der the jurisdiction of the provincial -au- Mr.Robert Holmes, of Huron, favored the adoption of a Dominion law où this matter.To his mind Giretie smoking was a growing evil in Canadaj-\u201cand: pwo- hibition eeemed to be the only check the government can à .ln æite of the attention that had been devoted: to the question, the inland revenue returns show that the use of cigarettes is largely on the increase.In 1899 their manufacture in Canada totalled 106,000,000.In 1900 tire figure bad grown to $123,000, 000.lo 1901 \u2018it was 125,000,000.- In 1902 it was 138,000,000, whilst last year the total had grown to 178,000,000.CIGARETTE CHAMPION.\u2026 Mr.Armand Lavergne, the youthful member for Montmagny, chose this.occasion for his maiden address to ment.He had been a cigarette smoker since before his first communion, and had suffered no ill effect therefrom.He smoked in moderation because he believed it did him good.No doubt cigarette smoking in excess was an injury, but the same might be said of any other kind of smoking.Some one had suggested that the Spaniards lost in their war with the United States because of their excessive use of tobaceo.He had always thought that the war was won by powder apd bullets, but if what the anti-cigaretie campaigners say is true, it will revise ths |-rales of modern warfare.In future solv diers, instead of destroying their exe mies with powder and bullets, will sish- ply have to send them a package of éigar- ettes.Mr.Lavergne summed up that the proposed law against cigarettes in Canada is an infringement of personal liberty.He would therefore vote against x.Mr.Leighton McCarthy, of Simcoe, briefly expressed his concurrence in the resolution.OPPOSES RESOLUTION.Mr.E.B.Osler, of Teronto, complimented young Mr.Lavergne on is views.He: against the Mac- laren resolution as a.deliberate infringement of the indivadxal liberty.The remedy for cigarette smoking among minors was to be found in perental control.ADVICE FOR THE LADIES.To the ladies engaged in the promotion of this legislation he would say that more indigestion and more physical damage results from bad cooking than from the use of cigarettes.Let them explain the art of the kitchen to the farmers\u2019 wives of whose cooking he had had ex- nerience, > Messrs.Henderson, of Halton, and Puttee, of Wininpeg, promised their votes for the resolution., A DRUGGIST'S ADVICE.Mr.Macpherson, of Burrard, declared that narcotics like cocaine are used in the manufactare of certain cigarettes.He knew of patent nostrums sold in this country which led their neers into the drug habit.One instance he had in mind purported to be a remedy for catarrh.It contained five percent of cocaine though and had ruined men and women physically, morally, financially.He knew of one man who had used two hundred \u201cand forty bottles of this stuff in a single month.This individual was first ruined in pocket and then killed.Myr.Macpherson looked on cigarettes as an evil and held that they, as well as other articles injurious to the public health should receive the attention of the House.MR.BORDEN\u2019S VIEWS.THINKS MEASURE DOES NOT STRIKE AT THE ROOT OF THE EVIL.The leader of the Opposition considered it beyond question that the excessive use of cigarettes by lads of immature age is an evil.The resolution under consideration, however, did not strike at the root of the question.It is not the sale of cigarettes that constitutes any evil, but their excessive use by minors.To say that they must not be offered for sale in Canada would not do away with cigarette smoking because any lad can learn in half an hour how to make all the cigarettes he wants for himself.He quite recognized that it was desirable for the state to protect it« youth from the cigarette habit because many parents were not able to bestow the necessary care on their own families.Perhaps 1t was desirable to forbid the sale of cigarettes to lads of a certain age and to admonish and punish minors who set it at defiance, those who bad been brought into eon- |.ment to the.Criminal Code would be made this year to cope with the cigarette.evil.Mr.Fitzpatrick had made this.promise last fall when withdrawing the provision he had submitted to do | away with cigarette smoking among boys The Opposition chief wondered whether the government had since devised any preang of meeting this object.THE PREMIER, \u2018 + BAYS MATTER SHOULD BE DEALT WITH BY THE PROVINCES.The Prime Minister, who was the last speaker: upon.the motion, said: There abundance of evidence, which js mot controverted in this age, that the use of tobaéeo \u2018in any form 1s aeleterious to immature humanity.At the same time, it is conceded, | suppose, not disputed tnat the \u2018use of tobacco by grown up men is not .a noxious habit, and is conducive, 1 understand, to enjoyment.1 have never been able to understand, however, that, the use of tobacco in the form of cigarattes is -any wore noxious than in any .ôther form.-1 have never seen any evidepée that tobacco enveloped in paper is more injurious to heaith than tobacco smoked inh the form of a cigar or in à pipe.- But if:it be true, as stated by Mr.Macpherson, - that cigarettes not only contain tobacco but are treated win cocaing or morphia or some such noxious substance, it is quite evident that the use of gueh cigarettes would be very in jurious not omy to youth, but to grown up people as well.1f such cigarettes are on the market to-day there 1s, as 1 am informed and believe, no need of «ny legislation to prohibit their use or marnu- facture.We have on the statute book to-day legislation which is sufficient to prevent the manufacture of such noxious substances.1 ! The resolution which bas been placed before the House certainly gues too far.1 do mot.for my part see how it can be d in view of the debate which ace we have had and the opinions express ed.My honorable friend from Hunting- don asks the House to agree to this proposition: \u2018That it is expedient to bring in a bill to probibit the: unportation, r.a- nufaeture and sale of -cigarestes.1f 1t be admitted, as my honorable friend himself will not deny, that cigarettes can do no harm to -anybody who is grown \u2018up, and are simply injurious to immature boys, it is neither logical nor practical to ask that tobacco in the form of cigarettes should -be prohibited al er toievery: eitizen of the .country.f it is mobi purtous té :men, but sim- ly té Boys, the proposed: remedy ; Eos far.IP those who tak® an imberest in-4he health.of the young\u2014snd I elaim to, be one of those\u2014would direct their legislation simply fo reaching where the evil exists, 1 would subscribe to such legislatiqn, bat any legislation wbich not only Prohibits what is an evil, but also that which-is not, goes téo far.1 think we should be careful not to enact legislation which would not be observed by the community.\u2018I have always been op to ; prohibition simply because the experience of mankind shows that if you prohibit a thing, which is not\u2019 m itself an evil your law will not be observed, and 1 think it is always an evil to pass enactments that will not be by the respectable part of the community.If a man can smoke à ci tte with no more injury to himself t the smoking of a cigar, why should you prevent his indulging in the luxury ?If he prefers a cigarette to a cigar, why should you interfere ?1 agree with the leader of the Opposition that in our legislation we should try to reach the evil where it exists, and the admitted evil is the smoking of cigarettes by boys.\u2018I would prevent boys from smoking, not only cigarettes, but tobacco in any form.1 do not hesitate to say that it grates upon my feelings to meet a boy ten orn.twelve years of age with a cigarette in his mouth, and always wis that the parents would look sharply after such a lad.Bot to say that because the habit is injurious to a boy, it shall not be allowed a grown-up man, is going altogether too far.: \u2018In\u2019 my opinion the peculiarly obnoxious feature of the cigarette is its cheapness.Nowadays, when a boy gets.five cents, instead o spending it on candies, as they used to do when I was a boy.he invests it in a package of cigarettes.How are you going to prevent -that ?\u201cThe remedy, to a large extent, is in the provinces, and I would call the attention of the House to the fact that there is a ten to-day to come to Ottawa for legislation which should be \u2018asked for in the Provincial Legislatures.There has been lately a reaction against that practice and last year we had on the floor of this House several members on both sides protesting against the invasion by the Dominion Parliament on the rights of the provinces in the matter of legislation.There are many subjects on which the provinees and the Dominion Parliament have a concurrent right to legislate.but in all these matters I think we should endeavor to maintain the autonomy of the provinces.The legislation now sougbt exists already to some degree in most of the provinces.But we are told that the laws are ineffective and not enforced.1 submit, with all deference to those who ara asking us to legislate, and whose motives I sincerely respect, that, if they would ree to the enforcement of the provincial laws, the evil could be checked.\u2018T agree to a large extent with Mr.Osler that the ladies who are promoting this legislation codld do more good bv giving their attention to the matter of education than bv seeking legislation on this subject.More can be done by the heneficial influence of women in teaching and educating our youth than in seeking legislation in this respect.\u201cThe subject engaged the attention of parliament last year.and the Minister of Justice attempted to cove with it, Before resuming hiz zeat Mr.Borden \"bat unfortanatclv.as he said himself at did not satisfy anybody, but bas been since looking into the matter.1 an not prepared to say, however, that fie has yet found a remedy.That some- thmg should be done goes without s.y- ing.Legislation to be effective shotid \u2018reach the man who supplies the noxious weed to the boys and prevent the \u2018sale to boys of tobacco in amy form, bert I do not see how we can undertake such legislation.It will be, however, the duty of the government to apply itself further to this question and perhjips at some later day the Minister of Justice will be able to give information\u2018 to the House on the subject.The question is not a party one, and I think fhat the best interests of those who seek this legislation will be served by our not voting for this resolution.RAILWAY

where trains pass at a speed of more than tea miles an hour, passed the second reading and was sent fio the Railway Committee.A PERSONAL EXPLAN ATION.Practically the entire evening was de voted to a personal explanai.ion by Mr.Leighton McCarthy, Libersil member for North Simcoe, to reful.e a charge levelled at him last week Jsy Mr.Bennett, member for East Sims:0e.The latter had left it to be understood that Mr.McCarthy\u2019s law firm' received six bundred dollars for his wark at Ottawa in connection with the site for the new dock at Midland.Mr.Bennett left it to be understood that this censtituted a breach of the Independenee of Parliament Act in Mr.McCarthy's case.The member for North Simcoe de- pounced Mr.Bennett in the strongest terms he could command for spreading political garbage of this order, and then said that be courted the fullest investigation of the charge so far as he was concerned, but knew perfectly wel that Mr.Bennett would never follow it up.\u2018The truth wes that the property in question was not sold to the Crown at all.It was owned by Burton Brothers, and was sold by them to the town of Midland, who banded it over to.the government for the .erection of a dock: Mr.McCarthy's firm bad acted for the Bur: tons in clearing mp the title -to the land with the Marine and Fisheries Department at Ottawa, whilst Mr.Bennett had acted as solicitor for the town.He denied that he had worked any deal with the government.MONTREAL POST-OFFICE.Mr.F.D.Monk will enquire in par- oman org the proent postes dn Montel.we dnt bailing eu its staff wre hiadequaie to

a contract for carpenters\u2019 and joiners \u2018work on the Bellevue building, in this city.The defendant pleaded that the amount of damage stipulted in the contract, in the event of the work not being completed at the time specified, was more than sufficient to offset the claim.To this plea Long replied that action of Stevenson and his architect, and by a strike of his men, for which he was not responsible.In rendering judgment, the court found that the plaintiff had renounced the strike clause, but that he could not be held responsible for the other delays.Allowing $275 reduction for eleven days\u2019 strike, judgment went in favor of plaintiff for $1,079.75, with interest and costs.SHOWERS.Meteorological office, Toronto, March 24, 11 a.m.\u2014The following are the maximum and

Quebec, March » 24.\u2014Among other suvjects Lhe omission of wiucu he re- greited to notice in the speech, the Op: positon leager also mentioned the av sence of any reterence Lo railways, and expressed une hope in the connection that the government would not leave any new policy they had to aunounce in regard ther:to to the lust days of tue session, wien there wouid be no time to tuly considèr it.rie further re ferred with regret to lhe omission oI any reference tu the license question lu view oË the markea movement throughout the province to curb the vice of drunkenness and the abuses o: the liquor trathe and thought ministers should be prepared to anaounce some policy on iis important head.I'ne ition.Mr.Turgeon followed in a powerful reply to the Opposition lzad- er, which created immense enthusiasm but of which it is only possible to give the barest outline.He began by regretting the temporary and unavoidable abdence of Mr.Parent, whose state of health prevented him irom being in attendance.He was happy to join in the congratulations extended to thz mover and seconder of the address, and also took occasion to congratulate the Hon.Mr.Flynn, who, he was pleased to see, was still leader of the Opposition notwithstanding rumors to the -contrary, and hoped that he would long retain hie present position.Mr.Flynn had stated that there was nothing in the Speech from the l'hrone, but.he thought ditffer- ently, and considered that some important matters werz therein contained.A measure, for ;pstance, would be brought down for the revision of the provincial statutrs which had not been revised since 1888 and.also a measure respecting accidents incident to labor.This latter bill would only be presented this session, 60 as to give the members an opportunity of studying it as well as all interested parties.Speaking of the recent by-elections Turgeon remarked that the government bad won two seats and lost two.In Sbefford the fight was between three Liberals, and no Conservatives could be found to be a victim.In Ber- thier the Liberals had succeeded in defeating the Conservative candidate.In both these counties the Liberal majort ties had increased since pe last elec tions.As regards Portneuf and Mas kinonge, if the government candidates viere defeated it was not due to.the unpopularity of the government or pol icy, but to local quarrels in these counties.He took occasion to eulogi Nr.the government candidate in of, nid remdrieed that the great cry in that county aghinst Mr.Deguise wis that Be was a lawyer and à stranger in the county.He blamed Mr.PE.Tetier for raising that cry, and asked what bad the members of that profession done to be objected to as candidates.\u2018The member for Dorchester should net forget that although a resident of this city be represented a rural constitueney and was also a member of a profession which had furnished such able men to Canada as Lafontaine, Morin, Bedard, Viger, Sir George Cartier, Sir John \u2018 Macdonald, the Hon.Edward Blake and Sir Wilfrid Laurier.In criticising the present government\u2019s olicy regarding the public domain the position shoulé~ bear in mind that they were at one time at the head of affairs and hz protested against their manner of criticism.He spoke at some length on the policies of the different governments since 1892, and remarked that last year the land patents issued to settlers were considerably in excess of those issued under the Conservatives.There was no doubt that abuses had some times crept in, but the lumber merchant and settler in good faith were natural friends and not enemies, as some people would have us believe.He had remarked that the Hon.Mr.Flynn had been very prudent in not committing himself on that important matter, but this was to be expected from a man who had had such a long experiencz in that department.The latter.speaker had stated that agricultural interests in thie province had been neglected, but the report of his department which would be brought down to-morrow, will convince the House that he had not neglected that important matter.He had no objection to compare the work done for colonization under the present government and under Conservative administrations, and quoted statistics to show that they had done considerably more work than their predecessors.In conclusion, Mr.Turgeon referred to the dissensions in the Conservative party and remarked that if the present administration was not a grand one at least they could say that they had always worked in the interests of this province.Immediatelv after Mr.Turgeon\u2019s speech the House rose for recess and the Minister of Agriculture was irome- diately surrounded by all the ministerial supporters who heartily congratulated him upon his splendid oratorical success, Mr.Lane.member of Quebec East, whose antagonism to Premier Parent is well known.and bed held much aloof == : ars ee ee mir at 72 roma SE a ee Te TE .3 23

next speaker to defend the govern ment\u2019s policy this afternoon.HETITION FOR INJUNCTION.+ In the Practice Court yesterday a petition was presented by Napoleon Landry asking a writ of interlocutory

encroachments.\u2019 He scouted the \u2018yellow peril\u2019 idea.\u2018Asia,\u2019 he said, \u2018has more need to fear Europe than Eu rope to fear Asia, \u2018To round out her eastern territory Ruesia needs Manchuria and Corea.She bas now plunged into a war with Japan instead of agreeing to make no invasion of China's territory.England is not desirous acquiring more territory; she-ig the natural ally and friend of China and Japan.England, like the United States, 1 desirous of maintaining the in-, tegrity of China.\u2018The alliance of France and Russia is chiefly sentimental.France is not a colomzing power, and eo far as sustaining the Integrity of China is concerned, France may be said to be of a negative quality.Germany is an ambitious nation, whose people are scattering over the face of the world.Her government has not been idle, and she has seized a port of great value on the coast of China, just back of Shansi.This port is the greatest iron and coal deposit in the world.This is Germanys objective point, and she will at no far distant day fill up this territory only a few hundred miles from the sea.With Germany in possession of these lands, and Russia in possession of Manchuria, the rest of Chima would prove an easy victim.The division of the remaining territory would probably involve the nations of Europe in a war, the Like of which this world 1

them altogether, it could at least impose a tax, as on all other pub- shows or theatrical performances.It was decided after some further discussion to instruct the Chief of Police to prevent all public exhibitions of boxing unless the tax on theatrical exhibitions had been paid and a license taken out.Mr.Coderre, town attorney, was granted permission to occupy a room in the City Hall as an

street was in an impass- abie condftion.lt was then decided to potify bouseholders to clear the ice from the sidewalks in front of their premises.Councillor Riendeau gave notice that he would move to amend the building by-law so as to exempt buildings in course of construction from taxes.The notice of motion created a lively interest,as very extensive building operations vw Hl be carried on this spring, including important Industrial establishments and over two hundred dwelling houses.The application of the Montreal Street RaHlway for an extension of their franchise was referred to the general committee for consideration.The standing committees for the year were then appointed as follows: Finance\u2014W.Richer, chairman; W.Reed, J.Riendeau.Fire and Police\u2014J Riendean, chairman;

application of Mr.Honore Demers for exemption of taxes for fifteen years for a door and sash factory.which he offers to ertablish in the municipality, was also referred to the general committee.Mr.De- mers employs ten workmen and pays $4,000 in wages annually.ACTION FOR DAMAGES SET ASIDE.The action of R.Picollo vs.Peter McCoy for $5,000 damages was dismissed by Mr.Justice Curran yesterday.The plaintif's clam was for having had his leg broken while engaged with other laborers in pushing two cars, in defendant's service, which accident he attributes to MeCoy's fault and negligence, but the court found that, with ordinary prudence on the part of.Picollo, he côuld have avoided the accident.\u2019 4 a Ps 9 SUBSCRIPTION RATES.Dally Witness, $3.00; Weekly Witness, $1.00, with reduction to

Socialist leader, told the Reichstag that, in the war now waging between the Germans and the Her- eros in South-west Africa, the natives display greater humanity and more civi- hzed consideration for non-combatants than are shown by German troops.ln violation of the laws of war, in foolish disregard of consequences, the Germans sbow no mercy to their black foemen, whom they had maddened into insar- rection by despotism and eruelty.Rhenish missionary reports, quoted by derr Bebel, will be accepted as truthful.These state that the revolted natives diseriminate between (Cermanss and white men of other nationalities.Britons, Boers and Danes are spared, while no mercy 18 shown the Germans.Still more creditable to the blacks is the report that they begged pardon of white women wounded by stray shots, saying they did pot wish to hurt defenceless women.This is in striking contrast to the abominable treatment of Herero women by the Germans, which will deprive them LÉ all outside sympathy in this war, which may last longer and be far more costly than the government at Berlin bas yet realized.The tribes of Africa have a generally correct idea of the differences between the several European poweré, who, without consulting the possessors of the soil, have parcelled the continent among themselves.If ill-treaiment has \u2018generated a fanatical hatred against all Germany\u2019 among the many millions of blacks, the so-called German colonies will prove fearfully ex- pengive luxuries.\u2014 THE WAR.The news to-day consists almost exclusively of the surmises of wiseacres as to what is going to happen and plans of campaign drawn out by people who know all about it, but whe, it may be very safely effirmed, are not in the councils of the strategists on either side.One authority who claims to be famiHar with the conditions through large experience in the China-Japan war, is certain that the main attack of Japan will not be by way of the roadless regions of the Yalu boundary, where the Cossacks would have the advantage of them in mobility, but in the waterlogged delta of the Liao at Niu chwang, where cva- alry would be useless and where the Japanese would be in conditions more familiar to them than to the Russians.He is certain also that the landing will be at Niu chwang and nowhere else, 1s \u2018will be relaxed THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS.meta that is the only good landing place, and be tells us just how the landing will be effected and how it will be followed up.\" Our readers will bave gathered from these columns that such a campaign as this is the one that superficially commends itself as the most probable.Yet.the very fact that it is so may make it\u201d the part of good strategy to avoid it.The Russians long seemed to vacillate as to whether they would defend Niu chwang at all or not, apparently relying more on their earthworks on the higher ground along the line of railway; but it is said they have recently made it fairly strong as far as earthworks go, but with very few guns.It cannot be.supposed that they have guns to place at every possible point of attack.What armament they have has to be held in reserve until it is determined where it is wanted.They were the more unwilling \u20180 show themselves busy about Niu chwang, as they have been trying all along to get the powers to declare Niu chwang neutral territory and to forbid the Japanese to make use of it as a base of military operations.As Russia hes held Niu chwang for some years, having originally regarded it as ber great railway terminal upon the Yellow Sea, and as her ceaseless promises of evacuation have meant absolutely nothing, and ae she herself treats the whole of Manchuria as her own, having the railway picketed down to the very wall of Chima , this theory of neutrality is quite out at the elbows, and for other nations to insist on it with regard to a vantage ground of the first importance in the present war would bé simply to take sides with Russia against Japan.But while the main attack of the Japanese may or may not be made in some other quarter, our readers will also have gathered that the great army that the Japanese have gathered on the strath of the Ta tong, south of Ping yang, is not likely to remain quiescent there.It ig true that from there across to Won ean the Japanese have a line of defence of immense strength, should it ever have to be tested.But they are without question on the offensive in northern Corea.They have already advanced their fropt to the Chen chen, which is fifty miles nearer the Yalu than Ping yang.An army advances something like an earth worm.It first stretches its head, or rather its forward point, a good way ahead, say fifty miles at a time, then a process goes.on throughout its whole body by which the mam mass gradually moves itself | forward til the head end becomes the heavy end, and the tafl end a long, attenuated poirt.Then the tail is pulled in and the big worm is ready to repeat the operation.A month ago the Japanese army bad its extremely sharp head point at Ping yang \u2014just two hundred and fifty men, placed theré and reinforced by euch heroic marches through frost and snow as no European army could have endured.At that time its tail wd was pretty thick at Masan pho, at the southern end of Corea.For a good while we have heard nothing of any troops south of Seoul and Chemulpo, no more soldiers being probably left there than enough to picket the radway.The main army is just row at Ping yang, but we should presume that it is not intended to be there when the warm weather comes, as the camping ground ie malari- ows, and will not become more whole some by its present occupancy.The extreme difficulty of mowing an army forward through that horribly rough and muddy country will of course be mmim- ized by effecting all farther landings further up the coast as soon as the removal of the ice renders the shore approachable.There are several possible and- ings between Chinam po, the port of Ping yang, and the mouth of the Yalu, All additions to the force will, however, need to incommode themselves with their provisions.There will indeed need to be more commissariat than men, as the country itself will not support the force already in it, and it wil] be many months at least before the railway will be running through it.There are rumors from the press correspondents of a movement towards the Yalu, and also up the Tumen, in about a week.They base this on some pleasant promises made them that their bondage about then, What would we do without rumors?Unless the bridge that is being built over the Cheng dheng is finished by that time = forward movement from Anju will be impossible.IN PARLIAMENT.The anticigarette motion was the most important business of the Houwe of Commons yesterday.The resolution, as we have noted before, declares that it # expedient to prohibit the importation, manafacture and sale of cigarettes.It was moved by Mr.Maclaren, Ermting- don, and seconded by Mr.Richardson, South Grey.Both of these genliemen quoted very strong arguments in favor of the resolution, especially the univer sal medical opinion that cigarette-smok- F hibit the practice so far as adults are RE stunts their physical growth, but tends towards mental and moral imbecility.It has béen found so harmful to grown up people that the employees of some of the railways and of many business houses are prohibited from the practice.The resolution met with fair support, dnd those who opposed it did so on the grounds that the matter of children ooking cigarettes was something for parents to attend to, and that to pro- concerned would be an interference with personal liberty.Mr.Borden thought the main thing was to prevent the use of tobacgo by youths, and this could be done by parental authority, or by the state saying that tobacco should not be sold to girls and boys.The Premier also considered that it would be advisable to have legislation to reach the men who sell tobacco to children, and that it would be the government\u2019s duty further to consider that part of the question.Sir Wilfrid, however, thought the proposed legislation would not have the support of the people.He seemed to deprecate the coming to Ottawa with the question as a whole, and said that, where there was concurrent jurisdiction in the Dominion and the provinces, he favored the provinces.This is the usual view of national states men in dealing with distressful ioral questions, while the opposite is largely the view of provincial statesmen.They are both inclined to say: \u2018After you, gir.\u2019 , À war of words took place when Mr.Leighton McCarthy, North Simcoe, arose to reply to charges made by Mr.Bennett, Bast Simeoe, to the effect that he had done something he should not, his firm having been paid six hundred dollars for doing some legal work for the government in a sale of property.Mr.McCarthy acknowledged that his firm \u2018had received the six hundred dollars for its services, of which his own share was sixty, but he could not see that there was any irreguiarity about it.Mr.Bennett, however, considered that it was improper to engage à lawyer to do departmental work who was also a raem- ber of parliament, as the Liberal members had always declared when in Opposition.Sides were taken in this discussion with much bittermess, but it ended without results.It seems that you cannot sell a pound of nails to the government without losing your seat, but you can sell it any amount of advice.Mr.Monk, Jacques Cartier, is.curious con- ¢erning the Montreal Trunpike Trust.He wants to know how much it owes the government, and will move for a return which will show this Mr.Monk will also submit a resolution with the object of getting the federal and provin- cml governments to put their heads to-4 gether, not for the purpose of making a block pavement, as the famous aldermen did, but with a view to abolishing the present system of tollgates, which are relics of a barbarous past.Some of the members of parliament are making quite a pother about employing \u2018aliens\u2019 on the surveys of the \u2018national transeon- tinental railway,\u2019 as are some of the engineering fraternity, and others.It is quite right that our own men shouid be chosen where things are even, but where outsiders have more experience the country has a right to the benefit of it, and would be stupid to lose it.\u2018The cost of the census was $1,179,378, compared with $570,903 for I891, and $456,904 for 1881.The last census statistics were, however, taken far more in detail than in other years.It is to be hoped that one objeet was to change from the misleading system hitherto employed to the honest one of giving the actual figures.There should be-a census every five years, and thus a greater continuity in the machirery for managing it, resulting in more economy as well as more efficiency.It is time now to be thinking of the quinquennial system of 1908.Parliament will adjourn for the Faster holidays from Wednesday next until April 5.The Opposition met yesterday for the Hirst time in caucus and outlined its programme for the session.TITRE CB a fee OL Fg Teorsnay, MARCH 24, 104, been much debated of late.In England it is found that, where the muni- cipalittes own the gas and water and street railways, and place their administration in the hands of capable practi: cal men, without reference to politics, nepotism, or favoritism of any kind, the venture pays the ratepayers as a general rule.Direct corrupuon is practically unknown in England, but what we call boodling is very far from being unknown, and where aldermen Tom.Dick and Harry use these services to provide \u2018soft snaps\u2019 for their neighbors and relations, they are better left to private enterprise, so far as the body of ratepayers is concerned.If we judge from our past history we cannot hope for much from municipal management 1n Montreal.The principle of using patronage for the benefit of friends is ingrained into the very souls of the majority of our aldermen, but almost anything would be better than having the control of all our public utilities in the hands of a eingle despotic and insolent combination.Public administration is.at all events, always educating the people to the management of their own affairs, and obviously whether the power is used or not, it is highly desirable for the city to possess the unquestionable right to make its own gas.In any case the business should be tuken out of the hands of the present combi- vation.The aldermen decided yesterday to expropriate the upper part of St.Lawrence street, and to have the work done during the next three years.The process of widening streets is almost always a great mistake.As in the cities of the old world the proper process is to open wide diavonal avenues which will shorten distances and pay for their own cost instead of tearing down the faces of existing thoroughfares and blasting their activities for terms of years.This par- tienlar widening is, however, only the completion of a pb already undertak en.The danger was pointed out in Council of going to the Legislature seeking power to expropriate, as private members have the right to introduce re solntions to tack on additional streets to those asked for.This has been done in the past, and perhaps was rather favored than objected to in the \u2018good old\u2019 Prefontaine-Rainville days, but it is an outrage all the same.So late, however, ns the previous session to this one, the aldermen found that they had to put in the bill the expropriation of another street, which will require a lot of money.The clause of the new bill seeking to extend tbe aldermanic term from two to three years met, as was to be expected, with little opposition from the Council.As parliament is elected for five years, for several weighty reasons, ineluding the consideration that elections are costly and upsetting to business, so there are reasons why the extension of the aldermanic term would be of benefit to the ratepayers.Expe- cially wodld this continuity be valuable ih the case of most committee work, more particularly finance and roads, where it takes a long time to become acquainted even with the details of a routine.There is also the consideration that a policy may now be reversed every two years, which is desir able or not according as the policy is good or bad: and when we have an orgy of waste such as prevailed of recent years it is horrible to think of the citizens having to look on hopelessly while the boodlers fortify themselves in their seats.There is much to be said on both sides of this question.Even five minutes as alderman is too long for such gentlemen, and why should they be elected at all?In spite of all protest, the ai- dermen yesterday approved the special outrageous tax of a thousand dollars on brokers not members of the Stock Exchange, whose effect will be either to legalize what are practically bucket shops, or to pemlize legitimate brokers because they are not members of a union.Cows are no longer to be kept in the city, even by paying a tax of ten dollars.Council would not consent to tax parades twenty-five dollars, as THE NEW CITY BILL.The special meeting of the City Council yesterday afternoon was a most important one.The new bäl, which is to come before the Legislature, wae agreed to, and it contains some very significant matters.If eonduite are put in the streets for the wires they will be worth all the money they cost, and no doubt the companies will be glad to wee them, at such a fair rental as will provide in terest for the capital outlay and a sinking fund.At æll events power will pre sumably be obtained to compel them.With all the ugly posts and the over head tangle of wires removed, the city will not know itself, so much will it he improved.Another important power that is to be-sought is the right to manufacture and sell gas.The city already bas the power to purchase the gas plant from the company, but its right to go into the gas business is questioned.The question as between municipal and com.ing is harmful to boys and not.only pany management of public utilities has was proposed by Council's Legislative Committee.Perhaps the aldermen are dubious as to how a parade could be defined for the purpose of taxation, or from whom the tax could be collected.A clause introduced by Dr.Dagenais gives the city more power to proceed againet offenders who adulterate food, and this will be a very good thing if officers can be found who will carry out such a by-law with the zeal and discretion of the officers who enforce the British Food and Drugs Act.\u2014\u2014\u2014 ART EXHIBITION.As an example of a painting that has no redeeming trait \u201cThe Evening Glow, No.48, by W.Cutts, is highly to be commended.That the judges should have

in Legislature yesterday afternoon that in the opinion of this House, settlers in the northern parts of the pro e should be allowed in addition to tAeir present privileges and without the À of dogs, to take, hunt and kill deer for the immediate use of themselves or their families for food only, and not for pur- Poses of mle or tratlic, during September and October in each year; and that po fee should be charged to settler for permits.He stated that settlers often ve great difficulty in procuring meat food at this time of the year, and pointed out that a person from the southern parts of the province can go north and obtain a hunting permit for two dollars.The Hon.- J.M.Gibson, Attorney General, said it was all very well to talk about the poor settlers, but that if the motion was adopted it would be a backward step in regard to the enforcement of the game laws for the protection of deer, and would open the door for tbe wholesale slaughter of deer.The game law is just like the liquor license law, ecause the absolute enforcement of either law is impossible.He pointed out that the settler can obtain a permit for 25 cents, which allows him to shoot deer in the open season from Nov.1 to Nov.15.The effort of Mr.Mahaffy to better the condition of the settlers was commendable, but the deer must not be exterminated.The resolution was withdrawn by Mr.y.The Hon.John Dryden, Minister of Agriculture, stated that it is not the intention of the government to appropriate any sum towards defraying the expenses of Ontario exhibitors of live stock at the St.Louis Exhibition, and that the matter is a Dominion Government one.° RAILWAY TAXATION, When the question arose as to whether the House should resume the debate on the motion for the second reading of Mr.Pettypiece's bill to amend

Class Osmanieh; commander of the Liori and Sun of Per- pi author and journa ist, was born at ravesend, England, on.June 10, 183.\u20ac was the son of Rabetrt Coles Arnold, .P., Whartons, Framfield, Sussex.He was married three times\u2014hrst to Katharine Elizabeth, daugliter of the Rev.Theo.Biddulph, in 1854 (died 186%); then to Fannie, daughter of the Rev.W.H.Channing, Boston, Mass.(died im 1889); then to l'ama Kurokawa, Sendai, Japan, in 1897.He was educated at King's School, Rochester; King\u2019s College, London; University College, Oxford, of which last he was Scholar and Newdi- gate Prizeman m B53.He was Master | the years of Test and peace that he ha of King Edward\u2019s School, Birmingham, in 1854-56; Principal of Government Deccan College, Poona, Bombay, India (1856-61).Since then he had been con- ntly connected with editorial and literary duties on the staff of the London \u2018Daily Telegraph,\u201d even after being stricken with blindness and paralysis.He was president, in 1893, of the Midland Institute.Among his more notable works are: \u2018Light of Aaia \u2018Light of the World\u2019 and \u2018The Voyage of 1Ithobal # Speaking of the great scholar, a_well- known writer recently said: \u2018Sir Edwin Arnold, in his old age, blind and a paralytic and grieving over the arrest of hie £01, was tenderly nursed and cared for by the little Japanese woman he married eleven years ago in Yokohama., Sir Edwin's family were shocked and grieved at this marrage.Likewise were the English friends of the author of \u2018The Light of Ada.\u201d Lt was all so silly and romantic, they said, and not at all regular.In England even the solemn and lengthy banns of the church do not always hold a man und his wife together, and what was to be expected from a wedding ceremony whitch consisted in the contracting parties merely drinking a cup of tea together.5 i ; \u2018Sir Edwin's little Japanese bride did not promise before a great crowd of peo- | ple that she took her husband for better | or for worse, to love, honor and obey, to, cherish in sickness and in Mh.And.yet she has done all that, amd more, too.| \u2018Disappointed in the son he so loved anl trusted, engulfed with great disap- pomtment and domestic griefs, stricken with blindness and disease, Sir Edwin's condition would indeed have been d - rbie but for the faithful devotion of the little brown-skinned woman whom he took to be his wile in far away Japan.She was at once his nurse, his secretary.his business agent and confidential friend.He\u2019 could not move from his bed, but that was hardly necessary, for his little Japenese, swift as a shadow, brought him what he wanted or went on errands for him before he had time to regret that he was a paralytic and couldN not move.Sir Edwin's blindness was pot so terrible to him ae it might have been to others, for always the devoted wife was by his side telling him quickly and accurately what her own nimble black eyes saw.\u2018\u201cI am bhkmnd,\u201d said Sir Edwin the other day, in speaking of his wife, \u201cand yet 1 can eee.I am chained by my infirmities to one spot, and yet I have feet that carry me everywhere.\u201d ; \u2018Sir Edwin's late home in London is a perfect bower of beauty.Cramped as he was for means, his wife had contrived.at a small expense, to furnish the home after the Japanese fashion eo that its uniqueness and strange Oriental beauty gave the visitor the impression of the most lavish adornment.Here Sir Edwin carried on his literary work, for the fortame that came to him from bis \u2018Light of Asia\u2019 and other notable works, and from his lectures and addresses, was diem by his som, and in his old age, crowned with so many bodily infirmities, he was obliged to struggle and toil on instead of -eapin earned.\u2018But the troubles which came\u2019 upon Sir Edwin at least taught his family and his friends how idle a thing is ceremony, and that even a tea marriage is as good as a cathedral one if love is there, Sir Edwin realized this when he married his wife.When his daughter Edith expressed ber horror at the idea of a tea marriage, Sir Edwin replied: \u201cIt is the custom of the country, and will be ae binding to me as would be a pompous ceremony in a cathedral.\u201d \u2019 UNDERGROUND CONDUITS The proposed underground conduit eyo tem for the city of Montreal and for which it is proposed to acquire authority from the Provincial Government to emable the City Council to borrow the sum of $1,500,000 for tbe construction of such a system, is one of the chief topics of conversation in busi- Less circles.The different companies, whose business requires the use of cables and wires on practically every street are naturally interested in the proposition, and from rumors gleaned to-day, it is evident that a conduit system, constructed and maintained by the city, will meet with the Learty approval of the different business corporations operating in Montreal and district.The Bell Telephone Company \u201ca3 seemingly taken tbe initial step in declaring its policy on the question, and when asked respecting its attitude in reference to the municipal conduit system, Mr.McFarlane, superintendent of the Bell Telephone Company, stated that he had not as yet seen the reviced clause in the biil of the city of Montreal, bearing on this subject, to go before tbe legislature.but that the com- bany was agreeable to the general preposition for an underground system, if a reasonable arrangement could be made with the city in reference to details, and the bringing together of the present underground system owned by the company and tbe system to be owned by the city.The company has had interviews with the committee, and has at all times expressed its willingness to work in barmony with the city in this matter, The company is quite as desirous as any citizen, said Mr.Mc- Farlane, to see the wires disappear from the streets as rapidly as possible.> Advertisements.Savings Bank Department in connection: with all Branches.Interest at current rate from-date of deposit credited semi-annually.The Royal Bank of Canada Capital, Reserveand Undivided Profits, $6,192,705 Correspondence Solicited.EASTER PROVISIONS!

Chinese exclusion treaty, so this conven- | tion will expire on Dec.27 next.Un: der its term six months before the ex- | piration of a period of ten years from | Dec.27, 1904, if each power be dissatis- | fied with the treaty it is agreed to de- | nounce it.This is the action which China has taken in spite of the strongest efforts to the contrary on the part of the State Department.Had the notice not been served the treaty would have continued in force for another term of ten years from Dec.27.The department pointed out to the Pekin authori ties, through the United States minister, that it was very probable that eo far from bettering the conditions relating Lo the admission of Chinese into the Unitzd States, any new treaty would fail of approval by the Senate.The Chinese would thus be exposed to the rigors of the Geary anti-Chinese law and the exclusion would be much more complete than at present.However, the treaty having been denounced there is nothing for it mow bui to proceed with the for- tost greatly in flesh, I had taken medicine from five different doctors and also oumereus other preparations to no purpose I finally began to take Doan\u2019s idney Pilis and
