\u2018For my part,\u2019 said the Premier, \u2018I believe there is a good deal yet to be done for the militia of Canada.If 1 had my own way, and in this matter 1 express only my personal wish, there would be a corps of volunteers in every town, in every village, in every hamlet.The boy should learn early how to shoot.The art of war is always cnang- ing, and we shall always need men who \u2014 Ottawa, June 29.\u2014In the House last evening the Minister of Finance an- pounced a few alterations in the tariff resolutions which were laid before parliament in the budget epeech early this month.In the classification of metal plates and wire the Imperial Standard gauge is substituted for the Stubbs gauge at present in use.In the \u2018dumping clause\u2019 it is provided that the Minister of Customs may by regulation exempt tempérarily from the special duties goods of a class which the minister is satisfied are only made in Canada to & very small extent and are | therefore not open to sale, therefore, on equal terms to all purchasers.Strikes, for instance, might limit the Canedian production of an article and in that case it would be J from the.special duty if imported.In reference to the computation of duties on spirits in flasks, somewhat enlarged.; In the duties on coal oil a change is made ii the phraseology, but no change in the duty, which is 213 cents per gallon on refined oil.: The budget tariff reduced the duty on window glass from Great Britain to 7% percent.The government having ascertained that the manufacture of window gless is a monopoly in Great Britain, Proposes to reduce the duty on foreign e clause is most complicated and most delicate of instruments.Unfortunately there are not enough of our people who know how to use the rifle, and understand its deli- the manufacture of all neckties, men\u2019s snd women\u2019s.The government bas found that it made a mistake in placing artificial teeth SKIT SKETCH PRIZE.The prize of 83.00 offered for the best \u201cSkit Sketch\u2019 of the second series, just completed, has been awarded to James Moodie, of Chesterville, Ont., for his sketch of Miss Canada being offered a military doll \u2018 Made in Canada, abie to shut its eves.Another $3.00 prize is offgred for the third series.NEWS IN BRIEF.\u2014\u2014_ Detailed reports are given to-day in the war despatches of the recent Jupan- ese victories, two on Sunday last and one on Monday.The Russians retreated from the Ta pass before 30,000 Japanese, after a fierce fight, the Japanese occupying three different positions with artillery as the Russians retired.The Japanese had another victory in the Mo tien pass on the main road trom Feng huan cheng to Liao yang.Un Monday the new Japanese army, which landed a month ago at Te ku shan, met the Russians on the road between Siu yen and Hai cheng and drove them back fourteen miles into the village of Shi mu cheng, where another fight is momentarily expected.Russian torpedo boat has been sui at her dock on the Baltic, through carelessness, and twenty-two lives lost.- Chinese arrivals at Che foo report a large vessel, presumably a Russian, og the rocks off the Liao ti shan promon- TV.» Gen.MacDonald began operations yes terday for the capture of Jong, by a wide movement down the valley to the west, and cleared the Thibetans from lass from 2 percent to 15 percent.are ready and courageous to face any h iti he Shigat \u2019 The reduced uty of ten percent or emergency.How that emergency is to each position on the lgatse road, «ik fabrics for the manufacture of men\u2019s be faced is a problem that always The \u2018St.James's Gazette\u2019 in speaking neckwear is extended to apply to silk for changes.The modern rifle is one of the of the Dundonald incident, says the value of sending Imperial representatives to take a hand in colonial affairs is hardly questionable, but those representatives must be chosen on g different plan, trained on a different system, and imbued with new ideas if their work js pot to hamper the great work of Imper- 12] Federation.cate mechanism.We should develop this knowledge as much as we can, and it is one of the ideas to which my friend, Sir Frederick Borden, is giving constant attention.\u2018Gentlemen, although we have a militia force we may never have a war.The only people with whom we can have a war.is a race of the same kith and kin on the free list and hes decided to post- ne the operstion of that item until April 1\" next.Meantime, the duty will be ten percent.It was formerly 20 percent.The reduced preferential duty of 15 percent on table ware of porcelain and china is restricted to \u2018white\u2019 clay ware, The free importation of machinery for The Minister of Finance announces some tariff changes and supplementary estimates of nearly two million, beet su factories | ded as our Mother Countr .and I would look The trustees of the S.iodes scholar to April next.! æ extended up upon war between Great Britain and ships cable the authoritics of McGill the United States as almost as great a that Mr.J.G.Archibald and Mr.H.J.Rose are so nearly equal that a scholarship has been awarded to each.lane oe, item 2 Tolassen, Thich is crime as the civil war which convulsed : countries entitled to the British the United States nearly forty years à .-, ago.Pare à to ape Stipulated that it \u201cThe two nations are too far advanced in eivilization, they are too much ad- MAP OF WAR OPERATIONS ON THE LIAO TUNG PENINSULA.The Canadian Society of Civil ;

about thirty miles due east of Liao yang.Fen chen ling pass Is alternately located as in the legation despatch or immediately abcve Baima tsi, 45 miles north of Feng huang cheng.Until these topographical differences are harmonized it seems impossible to accu- 5 rately estimate the value of the latest Japanese success or to accept the most sanguine pro-Japanese ivew that the invaders are now free to advance to Lino yang and Hai cheng, with the prospect of cutting off the Russian retreat northward.Astonishment is expressed at the comparative ease with which apparently the Japanese captured the Mo tien ling pass, which has been repeatedly reported to be strongly prepared for defence, and as only possible to be captured at the expense of an enormous number of lives, In view of the supposed strength of this position and the lack of precision in the available news, there is even some doubt whether it is actually the pass which the Chinese held so stubbornly that the Japanese have captured.DRAWING IN OUTPOSTS.St.Petersburg, June 20.\u20141.50 a.m.\u2014 Though no further advices from the front had been received up to midnight, and though it appears now from General Ku- ropatkin\u2019s tactics that a heavy engagement may be deferred for some days, it is possible that the Japanese may rush $ matters, but it is not generally expected here that General Kuropatkin will give battle until he reaches a position of his own selection.The country in which the armies are now coming into contact consists of a series of mountain chains running parallel with the railway alongside of which the Russians are falling back às the Jap- £nese are advancing.Fen shui, Mo tien and Dalin are all passes which take their names from the mountains over which they run.General Kuroki, who has heretofore been south of the moun- | tains, is advancing to the westward from ; Siu\u2019 yen, and his columns must traverse the passes named before emerging into the more open country along the rail way, approximately abreast of Tg toh kiao, Tai cheng and Liao yang.I'he Russian outposts and the Japanese advance lines are now in close touch at all these passses.assing the Japenese

advertising the merits of the Toronto \u2018Daily Star, and claimed that this was to be found fn post-offices All over Canada.Mr.Taylor declared that the Toronto \u2018Daily Star\u2019 is the personal organ of the Postmaster-General and accused Sir William of forcing the postmasters to act as its agents.Sir William answered that he never either directly or indirectly asked any postmaster to act as agent for any newspaper, either Grit or Tory.He had no interest whatever in the Toronto \u2018Star.\u2019 Postmasters are at liberty to act as agents for newspapers and often do so.He saw no reason for complaint against this privilege, provided their work on behall of the papers does not interfere with their duties for the Post-office Department.MONTREAL POST-OFFICE.Mr.F.D.Monk urged the need of a complete reorganization of the postal service in Montreal and the suburbs.The delivery of letters there, he said, was not satisfactory.The complaint was one that had already received aisen- tion in the press.After looking into the work of the post-office distributors be was satistied that they had good ground for complaint against the authorities.After twenty years\u2019 service the men engaged in distribution work found that their nerves were worn out aod they were compelled to retire.Their day\u2019s work was supposd to be from seven to eleven o'clock in the morning and from one o'clock till five in the after- noon\u2014eight ours altogether.As a matter of fact, however, the distributors were called on for three hours\u2019 extra work every day without one cent of extra pay.Their Sunday work was supposed to consist of four hour once à month, as a matter of fact, however, they were called on for eight hours a day every Sunday so that in other words these men were required to put in four days\u2019 work overtime every month without remuneration.J COMPLAINTS QF EMPLOYEES.Regarding the complaints of employees be read a letter which appeared in the \u2018Presge\u2019 some time ago in which it was alleged the clerks had to do extra work as well as work on Sunday, for which they received no extra remûneration.The letter carriers, it also declared, often had to work ten hours a day insteäd of eight, without any pay for overtime.They were not able to distribute in time the important mail that reaches Montreal at 3.30 every afternoon from New York.The plain conclusion was that the staff, both of distributors and letter carriers, should be considerably increased.As things stood, the existing staff could not keep up with the work, even in spite of their working ten and twelve hours a day.Every dav an accumulation of newspapers gathered in the post-office whose delivery bad to be indefinitely postponed.Mr.Monk declared, on his own re- eponsibility, that the complaint of the Montreal post-office staff was substantially true in every particular.It was corroborated on all hands.This condition of things had existed now for two years.In his presentation of the matter Mr.Monk quoted frequently from ea letter which recently appeared in the Mont press purporting to represen e re of the Montreal postal staff.The member for Jacques Cartier made brief allusion to fhe mad uate facili- ies in the Morttreal Post-office.STR WILLIAM MULOCK\u2019S REPLY.The Postmamter-General, in reply, cri- ticieed Mr.Monk for quoting an anonymous letter which represented not the ENS eS ve CEN THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS.pm view of the Montreal postal staff but the view of one discontented, restless spirit who devoted himself to fomenting trouble He was a man of disordered mind and Sir William maid be knew the individual well.Mr.Monk asked for the man\u2019s name, but this the minister refused to give.*I altogether deny, said Sir William, \u2018this man\u2019s statements about extra work.They are full of inaccuracies.\u2019 The severity of the weather last winter and the irregularity of the train service had forced the Montreal postal staff to work longer than usual.But when the conditions became normal again, no official was called on to work overtime unless bv reason of some special work for which extra pay would be allowed.Sir William went on to say that when be took office there was a system in vogue in St.Henri, Westmount and Mile Erd which required letter carriers to collect letters from the various boxes in the evening, and on Sundays, which meant from an hour and a half to two hours\u2019 extra work.This had not come to his knowledge till this year, when he arranged for the letters to be collected instead under courier contract.In the meantime, till the courier contract went into effect the men who made this mail collection on Sunday would get a full day's pay extra.Those who worked at night got a half holiday weekly in consideration of this extra work.As to the story about Montreal postmen and distributors working overtime and bein erally downtrodden, he had asked Mr.George Rose, chief post- office inspector, for a special report on the facts when this anonymous letter vd ared in the Montreal papers.Mr.83's report showed that there was very little overtime work unless by reason of irregularity of the train service.Where members of the staff were burdened with extra work in this connection they were allowed holidays to make up for it.Mr.Ross declared emphatically that the Montreal Post-office was sufficiently manned.If the train service was regular no extra work was thrown on any one.If trains were late a certain amount of overtime work was incidental and had to be done.Sir William reminded the House that it was only since he assumed office that the eight-hour day came into vogue at all in the Canadian post-offices.LETTER FROM MR.BARSALOU.The Minister quoted a letter dated March 23, from the superintendent, Mr.Barsalou, to the postmaster in Montreal, which said : Referring to Mr.Gæo.Ross's letter re overtime work by the clerks in this office, I have to state: In the delivery branch overtime was worked by some of the élerks in that branch averaging half an hour dally over elght hours.\u2018In the letter despatch branch ten or fifteen minutes had been required over the eight-hours\u2019 average.In the news pa despatch branch the overtime work did not exceed the average eight hours; half an hour or one hour having beeh required from the clerks in that: branch A occasionally.The exceedingly late ar-4 rival of the mail since January was £ cause of the overtime in question.No that the trains are commencing to ruh on schedule time it is the intention to repay the men who worked extra.\u2019 RWith reference to the alleged insuffi cieney of the letter carriers, 1 have to say that throughout the United States the rule ia one letter carrier for 2,500 people.In Montreal there is one letter carrier for each 1,680 people.As to the wtatement in that letter that let- ter-carriers were required to walk six leagues a day, I think I :nay say that such is not the fact.\u2018T am assured by my officers that never once has there been a complaint recorded by any person in Montreal that the mail due by the New York 3.30 train was delayed.If no person has complained I think it is very strong evidence that the alleged delay does not take piace.POST-OFFICE TOO SMALL.The Post-Office building in Mobtreal appears to be very inconveniently constructed, and not to be in keeping with the proper requirements of the service.The department has been looki into that matter, and I hope will be able before this session goes by to bring the attention of parliament to the subject in connection with the estimates.1 suppose that when it was built, the Montreal Post-Office met the requirements of that day.The city has grown.and additional accommodation is required.Different views have been presented.Some people have advocated the enlargement of the existing building, the acquisition of more land, and the erection of an addition.Others have recommended the purchase of a new site and the erection of à new bullding altogether.Having looked into this matter, my officers have recommended an entirely different proceeding.This is not an age in post-of- fice management when concentration of work is considered the correct system.Instead, the modern policy is one rather of division of work.It is considered better for the service.It is in contemplation to acquire a site somewhere in the vicinity of the great railway stations and to make use of the building on that site as an adjunct, and to distribute from it a certain portion of the mails which now congest the city Post-Office.Further, a considerable portion of mail matter that now passes through the Montreal Post-Office, will, when this new system is inaugurated, be delivered at this new postal station, and go off by train without ever passing through the Montreal Post-Office.I also hope to be able to connect that postal station with the city Post-Office by the pneumatic tube system.as is contemplated in the city of Toronto.Mr.Monk disputed the minister\u2019s statement about the Montreal Post-Office employees not having to work over-time.asserted that if the time books in

Sir William offered to send Inspector Ross to Montreal and let Mr, Monk thresh it out with that official.The member for Jacques Cartier, though, invited Sir William to come down and see things for himself.The Postmgster-General was accused of parsimony in the service and of underpaying his men, but maintained that the officers under his charge were treated even more generously than the employees of any commercial house.Shortly after ten o'clock the last of the Post-Office votes was accepted and the House at once adjourned.RUSHING PROROGATION.The Premier has given notice that the House will not be asked to sit on Dominion Day.In order, however, to bring on prorogation as soon as possible, morning sittings of the House will be Inaugurated on Monday next, to continue from then on till the end of the Session.IN THE SENATE.In the Senate yesterday there was am- other debate as to whether Mr.Eldridge should be forced to appear before the bar of the Senate and answer e Se uestions put to him in committee regs in® the salaries paid to officers of the Mutual Reserve Life Fund Association of New York.It was finally agreed to accept the witness's offer to give instead the salaries year by year in the aggregate.relate THE GAULT INSTITUTE., The school year in the Gault Institute, Valleyfield, was brought to a close on Friday night last by the annual public \u2018distribution of prizes to the ior classes.Dr.Sutherland, chairman of the trustees, presided.The closing entertainment was only the culmination of a series of public sessions in the various departments.Each department had its particular hour for its public oral examination and for two days the parents and friends of the pupils have attended the various functions in larger numbers than ever before.It is safe to say that the bright, attractive school rooms were never before so gaily decorated with flowers, plants and flags and also with the specimens of work done by the pupils.In this connection the specimens of sewing should be specially mentioned, not only because of their excellence, but because this is the first year that subject has been taught in the Gault Institute.The work of the pu- ils reflected a great deal of credit upon iss Brown, the lady who has Pad charge of this department of the school work.Another subject which evoked considerable enthusiasm and which is also new to the school, was the tenic- solfa method of singing.Fortunately all the lady teachers of he institute have well-trained voices and are lovers of music.Consequently when the principal proposed to them to take up the tonic- lfa method and give a regular course An pinging, it was received with enthusiasm; and that excellent progress has been made was evident at the oral examinations.Miss Thompson's class did admirably, giving the required notes correctly and without hesitation, first from the modulator and then from the manual signs given by the teacher.Miss Coplan\u2019s little people in the primary department, aléo shewed a knowledge of this subject, and we are quite sure that Miss Ferris\u2019s class has made equal progress, although this subject has not taken up at the examination, owing to lack of time.The kindergarten, under the direction of Mise Lawrenice, who has just finished her sixth year at the Gault Institute, gave their usual closing entertainment on Wednesday afternoon and delighted every one with their pretty motion sors.All the staff of the institute has been re-engaged for next year, and it is hoped Miss Douglas, the teacher of the model department, who had to give up her classes last Easter on account of illness, will be quite recovered and able to take up her work again in September.Miss Ethel Price has proved a very efficient substitute in the meantime.The public closing entertainment on Friday night was prepared entirely by the lady teachers, to whom also belongs the honor of the floral decorations.Dr.Sutherland, after a few remarks on the excellent character of the work that had been done during the year, proceeded at once with the programme, which had peen prepared by the pupils.All the items were unusually good and lest we should do any injustice we shall refrain from mentioning individual pieces, except to say that \u2018The six little grandmothers.\u201d a dialogue by six little girls from the Old Academy School, fully sustained the reputation of their teacher, Miss Janet Lowe.The most interesting part of the programme for the young people was the distribution of the prizes.We might mention that Mrs.A.F.Gault takes the same interest in the school that the late Mr.Gault did and very genercusly donates the scholarship and prizes for general proficiency, in all the classes of the school.It would surely have beén a great pleasure to Mrs.Gault if she could have seen the happy little children receiving her prizes on Friday night.Mr.D.F.Smith donated the vrizes to the kindergarten children, while Dr.Sutherland gave the prizes for punctuality and regular attendance.prinei- pal pointed out that this year no less than thirty-six pupils had never been late or absent during the year, a remarkable fact.showing the good effect of the punctuality prizes.The prizes for pune- tuality in the kindergarten end Old Academy School were given by Mrs.Sutherland.- Mrs.Fred.Lacey gave a prize in each department for English and Mrs.D.F.Smith gave the prizes for good conduct in the Old Academy School.Miss Crichton also gave a fountain pen as a reward for imnrovement in writing and Mr.John Crichton presented a prize for Scripture knowledge in the O1d Academy School.Mr.Achille Bergevin, M.P.P., presented a silver medal for competition among the pupils entering the I.Model Class.After the prizes had been distributed, Dr.Sutherland briefly thanked the parents for their interest in the school and the children for their exemplary conduct on such an oppressively warm evening.The Les fl CW wi aT Advertisements.CEYLON TEA, GREEN OR BLACK, Is tea of known quality.Its use pays, both from the palate and pocket standpoint.For Sale by all
