LABOR COUNCIL DISCUSSES .COMPULSORY SERVICE.A special mesting of the Montreal Trades and Labor Council was held last night to take final action with regard to the establishment of a Trades and ILa- bor paper in this city.The report of the committee having the matter in hand was read by Mr.J.A.Ainey, one of the officers.Mr.Ainey pointed out the great need of a distinctively labor paper, and considered the present a very favor: able time to launch the scheme.The editorials and all other reading matter will be under control of à committee, and the paper will bear the i- cal Union label.The report of the committee was adopted.The canvass for subscriptions to the new journal will commence at once.The question of the Militia Bill, winch was brought up in parliament a few days.ago, was introduced by Mr.J.A.Rodier, and a motion opposing certain amendments \u2018was strongly opposed.[last About twenty clauses up to No.80 were singled out as abjectionable.It was considered advisable to call a public meeting to discuss the question.Mr.Rodier contended that if the bill were enforced Canadians would be compelled, if called upon, to take part in any military complications that might arise within the empire.This he objected to.Then there was the question of the expense connected with the maintenance of such a force as was proposed.\u2019 This might impose an unnecessary bur- The clause which permitted a rich men to purchase his release from service and allowed him to be replaced by a poor man who could not buy his release was strongly denounced.The nomination of Mr.Joseph

in the case of the King vs.a side of the City Hall.connection with the Kert case, this morning brought in a verdict of \u2018not guilty.Mr.Eugene Lafontaine, Crown Prosecutor, said no substantial evidence of per- Jury bad been -established.In two minutes after retiring the jury, which was French, brought in a verdict of not guilty.The verdict was a complete surprise to many people, and \u2018even leading members of the bar were taken aback.In the lower courts Judge Lafontaine and Judge Desnoyers held that the evi dence adduced was sufficient to establish a case of perjury.In the Court of King\u2019s Bench, in the November term, Mr.Justice Hall, when charging the jury before rendermg the verdict ot homicide against Max Kert, left the impression that he coneidered the evidence against Bodret as indestructible.In view ef all\u2019 this, the verdict this mofning came as a great surprise.This constitutes the fimale of the famous Kert case.WANT FIRE ESCAPES.Fire Alarm Department Staff is Uneasy.A FEELING THAT THE CITY SHOULD SET A GOOD EXAMPLE.Mr.James Ferns, superintendent of the Fire Alarm De nt, yesterday calied the attention of \u201cthe kire and Light Committee to the ract that a fire escape was required for the safety of the operators in that department.Lhe instruments and operators are situated in the attic of the City Hall, five stories above the ground.it was pointed out that if ever a ire got a start in the building it would spread up the wooden stairways and spacious skylight and tbe escape.of the employees in all departments would quickly, be cut off, except by the windows.' position of the fire alarm operators in such a case would be most serious.All they had in the way of fire escape appliance was à half-inch rope which worked on a pulley.The rope itself bad been kept for the purpose many years\u2014probably twenty\u2014 and none of the men would care to risk their weight on it.Of course, they could jump out on the main reof ten or fifteen \u2018feet below\u2019 their windows, but they could get down no further and it would be next to impossible to reach them there with ladders.The aldermen admitted the seriousness of the situation and forther re- -marked that it'did not look well to.in- gist on citizens having fire escapes on their houses and.f , while the City Hall was without them.It was for fumds to a iy ihe need.- .safety of the fire alarm \u2018spperstus.More than once since his appointment as superintendent of the department he has arged, for the \u2018welfare of the sity that the entire alarm apparatus sho be removed to a fire proof building out, - \u2018What would bappen,\u2019 he aska, \u2018if the City Hall, which hag already caught fire several times, should be burned down ?It would be a disaster that would entail incalculable loss to the city.We would be without a fire alarm service, probably for several dayx\u2019 BERTHING SPACE.THE C.P.R.FEELS STRONGLY THAT THE COMPANY HAS NOT BEEN GIVEN SURFICLENT SPACE AT THE HARBOR FOR ITS FLEET.The nice allotment of berthing gpace at the harbor becomes a question of increasing difficulty, for several reasons.The space itself is limi -in the first place; then, the demand has grown wonderfully during the past two years, owing to the increased business which bas been done at.the port; and for a third reason it migbt bé mentioned that the original space available when the reconstruction of the harbor was undertaken was not used to the best advantage in the plan which vailed.At all events, the C.P.R.feels that it has not been properly treated in the allotment which 13 $0 prevail this summer.Mr.Arthur Piers, the manager of the C.P.R.fleet, remarked to-day that there was insufficient accommodation ear, and it appeared as if they would have less this season, by at least the space of one vessel.As a matter of fact, the company would have less space than the Allans or tbe Reford line, The company needed the whole pier, especi as they would have large cargoes from Antwerp this season, and, as a fact, they had been allotted less instead of more, \u2018 What is the remedy \u20181 suppose the remedy lies with the Harbor Commissioners.\u2019 \u2018Does this lack of space indicate that the plan of Mr.Tarte, which was adopted for the reconstruction of thz harbor, was not the beat ?\u2018 Oh, but that would be politics, and I will not discuss politics.All I know is that we have not sufficient space for our needs.\u2019 RICHMOND Y\u2019S ORGANIZE.A large number of the young ladies of Richmond and

FOR THE DEFENCE OFFERS AN AMENDED PLEA OF JUSTIFICATION.y, 1 the matter of Cooke vs, y, for criminal libel, the attorney for the defence, Mr.Robert Tascheream, has retired from the case.Mr.James Crankshaw appeared yesterday morning before Mr.Justice Wurtele, on behalf of Blackley.The defence offered the iol lowing amended plea of justification: \u2014 \u2018And, without waiver of his verhal ples of not guilty, the said William lackley, for a further plea in this behalf, saith: \u2014 \u2018That our lord the King ought not further to prosecute the said indictment against him, because Le says that each, all and every of the assertions, matters and things made, ruen- tioned and char in the said alleged libel are f upon truth and upen fact.And so the said William Black- ley says that the said alleged libel is true in substance and in fact; and the said William Blackley further says that the said alleged libel is matter of pablic interest amd concerm, and that before and at the time of publishing the said alleged libel it was for the public benefit that the same should be published to the extent that the same was published by him, the said Wilham Blackley, because the matters mentioned in the said alleged libel affected the due administration of justice in this province, and the said William Blackley wished, through bis solicitor and legal adviser, the said L.M.Lyon, to cause to be laid before the Attorney-General of the Province of Quebec the said matters, in order that the same should be fully investigated in the interest of the due administration of justice and for the public benefit; and this the said William Blackley is ready to verify.\u2019 The trial will commence next Mon- day._ DUBLIN EXHIBITION.\u2014 MEETING CALLED TO DISCUSS IT BREAKS UP

March es Hoa E rr « DAI NIPPON\u2019 MR.SHAW T.NISHIMURA TELLS OF THE WONDERS OF JAPAN.An excellent lecture on Japan vas given in the Natural History Hall last evening by Mr.Shaw T.Nishimura, a native of the country, and a prosperous merchant of this city.Not only did the speaker keep the interest of the large audience by his description of his beautiful country, but frequent flasaes of humor established a genuine bond of sympathy between him and his hearers.Mr.Nishimurg read his lecture and afterwards, by Yneans of excellent stere- Opticon picture took hissaudience cn a tour i Nippon (Great Japan), Land of the Rising Sun.Japan, Mr.Nishimura said, has an area of a bundred.and sixty thousand square miles, and a population of forty- five mitlions, increasing at the rate of five hundred thousand annually.It consists of three thousand islands having numerous bays, and safe harbors.There are many mountains, all of volcanic origin, of which, of course, the greatest 18 the world-famed Fujiyama, 12,365 feet above the level of the sea.Many of the other mowmtains have altitudes ranging from two thousand tu three thousand five hundred feet.Fujiyama, over whose snow-clad heauty travel- rave, is cone-shaped.Its crater is five hundred feet deep, and it stands on the boundary line of three provinees.At the commencement of the summer, pilgrims in thousands, ascend it.Within the bowels of this giant, no volcanic forces are now evident, but in early times it was the scene of terrific eruptions.Indeed this fair land has been rent asunder by the Titanic strength of the earth\u2019s internal forces.In A.D.448 an earthquake destroyed the Imperial Palace.In 679, 829 and 1554 seismic disturbances caused untold havoc throughout the islands.In 1707 Fujiyama awakened from her long sieep, and with a convulsive movement shook almost the entire worki, poured out millions of tons of lava, and threw ashes and pumucestone into Tokio, sixty miles away.Fu- Jiyama dates from B.C., 226, when the Vuleans of the mether world united, rent the land asunder, turned the sea into a boiling maelstrom, heaved up the plain, and left Fujiyama as a monument to their strength.Even now, mild earth: quakes are common, end the speaker said that while he Irved in Tokio there were no less than a hundred and fifteen shocks.The climate of Japan is variable.In the north, Arctic severity is common, while in the southern portion perpetual summer practically reigns.Temperatures of over a hundred degrees Fahrenheit are common in the vicinity of Tokio and Yokohama in the months of July and August.The best months to visit Japan are April and October.The vegetation is luxuriant.In trees the pine, bamboo, maple, mulberry and Chinese cedar are common.Of fruits the apple, orange, cherry, chestnut, walnut, plum and grapes are abunduat.There are a hundred and fifty thousand acres under tea, and the cultivation of rice is one of the chief sources of revenue.Sweet potatoes, onions, carrots, turnips, tomatoes and white radishes thrive.Flowers are here, and, of course, the chrysanthemum, the lotus and the cherry blossom.dear to every Japanese heart, are most in demand.Of animale, the pony, ox, dog, and cat are the most common of the domestic varieties, while the bear, deer, hog and monkey comprise the best known wild species.Mallard, snipe, pheasant, and plover are abundant, and of fish and crus taceans the herring, cod, lobster, eel, carp, shad and oyster are common.apan is rich in minerals, especially in coal, which is shipped to China; copper, which is exported to Germany principally; gold, silver, iron and precious stomes.It is estimated that the gold and silver mined during the sixteenth land seventeenth centuries totalled a hundred and three million pounds sterling.The scenery ie sublime, and the glories of the Inland Sea can never be adequate- y described.The origin of the Japan- ee rece is hard to jrace.It is now an amalgamation of different peo- ples\u2014South Sea Islanders, Danes, Hollanders, Dutch, Portuguese, Coreans, Italians and several others.An ethnologist in a recent work states that the Japanese came originally {from Mesopotamia, but this is hard to prove.Social conditions in this island country are worthy of imitation.There are no millionnaires and no wretchedly poor, as are seen in the boasted centres of oceidental civilization.The late General U.8.Grant, President of the United States, when he visited Japan said: \u2018I am surprised to see how happy your peo- pk are.I never saw a country where wealth is so well distributed.\u2019 Shintoism and Buddhism are the prevailing religions.The latter was brought from Corea in 552.Christian evangeliza- tion has wonderfully increased since the constitution of Japan was adoptad in 1890.In 1552 the first missionaries\u2014 Jepuit prieste\u2014came to Japan, but the Shogun put them to death, and for three hundred years not ohly missionaries, but foreigners of all kinds, were kept out of the empire.Perhaps the most remarkable thing about rem le country is the antiquity of the reigning dynasty.It dates from 660 B.C.\u20142,564 years\u2014and the Mikado, new reigning.is the one hundred and twenty-second of the line.Mr.Nishimura knocked on the head the popular idea of Japanese civilization bemg only modern.For eenturies upon centuries, Japan has been the home of the arts, and the magnificent temples, palaces, gardens and waterways, dating back seven and eight centuries, are oquent Witnesses of the antiquity of Japanese civilization\u2014not of course, the modern idea of civilization\u2014but eiv- ilization in its broadest and best sense\u2014 the love of high ideals.art for art's sake, quaint and beautiful scenic
