The railway men themsvives are puz- sed exactly as to how the strike, ai it should occur, will affect the Canadian \u201cnes.If the strike is ordered from Chi «ago, and the trainmen on the Canadian ines go out on strike, They will violate (ne terms o: the new Lauor Disputes Act, and come under its penalties.On the other hand, if after a strike is vr- dered.they do not go out, they will he molating the rules and disobeying the mandates of their unions, the Order of Kailway Conductors and Brotherhood of Railroad Engineers, which are international in their scope.The representatives of no fewer than forty-two western lines are in negotiation m Chicago with the unions, and forty- tive thousand trainmen are affected.À meeting between the representatives broke up without any decision being arrived at.The men asked an increase of 12 percent in wages, and a work-day of nine hours.The railways offered the men increases of 7 percent to passenger conductors and 10 percent to brakemen, tiremen, baggagemen and alked workers.When the railway officers declared their offer was the best that could be made, the conference came to an end, for the men had decided, by a referendum vote taken last week, not to accept anything \u2018ess than their original demands.The desirability of at once calling a strike was discussed, but it is probable à final meeting With the railway representatives will first be asked for.- The difficulty that has arisen in Can- adu in regard to the immediate calling of a strike from Chicago is that, according to the terms of the Labor Disputes\u2019 + Act, which went into effect on Friday last, employees of any railway in Canada cannot go on strike without giving one month's notice of the question in dispute.The Act makes it unlawful for any employee to go on strike on account of any dispute, prior to or during reference to a board of conciliation and investigation, to be appointed under provisions of the Act.Penalties are provided lor non-observance of this Act.The chief questions in dispute at Chr cago are an increase in wages and a nine- hour day.This latter provision is mew in force on the C.P.R., and the C.N.R., and 60 far as can be learned, there has been nn direct request to either of these companies for an increase in wages by the members of the unions which are threatening to go on strike.According to the terms of the agreement now in force on the C.P.R., nine hours make a full day's work for all trainmen.Adso a run of 100 miles in length.If a divis\u2018on is over that length, the train crew is paid an extra hour's wages for each 11 1-9 miles travelled.In case a train does not make ie 100 miles in nine hours, the crew is paid for all overtime.; The conductors and engineers in western Canada are in close touch with their representatives at Chicago, but refuse to make public their intentions if a strike is called.Many of them still express the hope that trouble will be avert- ed\u2014a hope which is also expressed by the management.CLAIM AGAINST SCHOOL BOARD.Eight Hundred Dollars Demanded for Each of the Sixteen Victims of the Hochelaga Fire.The Protestant Board of School Commissioners have been notified of claims for damages on behalf of the families who lost their children in the fire at the Hochelaga School.The claims represent a total of twelve thousand eight hundred dollars, or eight hundred- dollars for each child.oo All the parents have placed their interests in the hands of the Rev.Henry Jekill, rector of St.Mary\u2019s Church, who is acting with the advice of two prominent legal firms.It is not yet known how the matter is viewed by the school commissioners, who are naturally reticent at this stege of the proceedings.Their solicitors are Messrs.Greenshields & Languedoc.; The Rev.Mr, Jekill was interviewed by a \u2018Witness\u2019 representative to-day, and asked whether be had any objegtion to making a statement AAT > réport- ed claims.Seeing that something was known of the matter, he finally admitted that friendly negotiations were being eon- ducted with the commissionets with a view to bringing about an amicable settlement of the claims.When asked as to the amount of oem- pensation, Mr.Jekill said that personally \u2018he could not give ou\u201c the figures.but under the circumstances he regarded the amount as most moderate, and he believed the Protestant public of Montreal would gladly meet the demand.Mr.Jekill hag been authorized by the parents to lay the matter before the school commissioners and endeavor to bring about a settlement instead of allowing the case to proceed to the courts, MR.BRYCE AT OTTAWA British Ambassador Talks on Every Subject but That of the Hour.Ottawa, March 28.\u2014An attempt by the Ottawa newspaper correspondents to extract from Mr.James Bryce this morning in an interview at Government House, something about the purpose ot lig mission to Ottawa, was neatly turn\u201d ed by the distinguished visitor into a discussion of the enjoyments of moun- tan climbing, English parliamentary customs, the \u2018burniug of the Alexandrian Library, and the excellence of the ancient Icelandic literature.Every el- fort to bring the thread of Mr.Bryce's discourse back to public questions of ine day wae in vain, for His Majesty's Ambassador himrelf took charge of the interview in its initial stages and tirn- ing his back on queries about his ne- goiiations with Mr.Root for the settle- nent of questions outstanding between tie United States and Canada, tried to learn what he could from the newspapermen about Canada\u2019s two new transcontinental lines and the development of our transportation system generally.His visit to the Canadian House of Commons yesterday bad been an experience of much interest to him.\u2018lt is very nice, he added, \u2018to see so many of the characteristic features of the British Parliament preserved in your House ; of Commons and to hear Sir Wilfrid Laurier and the leader of the Opposition referring to each other as my honorable friend and my right honorable friend?\u2018If you had occasion - to write another edition of your work on the American Commonwealth,\u2019 suggested one of the newspaper men, \u2018it would doubtless be different in many respects from the rat ?\"Oh, I don\u2019t Enow.I haven\u2019t read that book lately.You koow, it's rather a large volume to read.\u2019 ; Mr.Bryce, when approached in regard to hig present mission to Canada, again turned the subject into another direction.An allusion to the New York \u2018Evening Post\u2019s\u2019 recent statements about the agreement that Mr.Bryce and Mr.Root are said to have reached on pend- ing jesues between the United States and Canada, brought only.a few observations on the subject of the unreliability of newspapers in general and the impossibility of a public man being able to frame denials for all the unauthentic reports that found their way into the columns of the press.; , \u2018But coming back to Washington,\u201d suggested another of the newspaper men, who wanted to know what Mr.Bryce thought about the appointment of a Cansdian attaché in the United States.Capital .; Reve not been to Washington yet, responded the ambassador, and he might have added that he preferred for the present, at all events, to keep as far away as possible from that quarter in what he had to.say to the interviewers.\u2018Do vou think,\u201d he wae asked, \u2018that the British government are fully aware of the importance of the colonies?\u2018I have always said,\u201d he readily replied, \u2018that I do not know the slightest dif- ! ference between the British parties or ! governments on that subject.Every i political party and every ministry in | Britain is equally interested in and | equally desirous of mamtaining the.very best relations with the colonies.\u201d But had we not better go back to mountain climbing?added Mr.Bryce, as if he had already stepped beyond the .bounds that a true diplomat was Pup- posed to keep.America and Americans had been very kind to him, and he was much interested in the progress of Canada, with ! which he has already tolerably familiar, i having visited the Dominion on many : previous occasions.Mr.Bryce is a man \u2018of frank speech \u2018and of most agrecable presence, even if he was not as communicative \u2018in the present instance as his interviewers could bave desired.- \u2014 ALDERMEN SFILL AWAY- i OITY COUNCIL TO MEET NEXT .© WHDNMSDAY.=\".No member of the Philadelphia.delé~.pi : gation had returned to the City Hall -this morning, but all the aldermen will | be home again by Monday.A meeting of the Finance Commitiee has been call-, * City Council will meet on Wednesday l'ed'for Tuesday afternoon next and pe he wax opposed te ede.-jthat the Liberals retain the NO « WITNESS\u2019 Tomorrow being Good Fiiday the \u2018Witness\u2019 will not be published, UPRISING IN ROUMANIA Disorders on Estates of King Charles\u2014Fresh Disturbances in Wallachia.(Continued from Page Seven.) Vienna, March 28.\u2014Press despatches received here from Uzernowitz, on thé Moldavian frontier, say that conditions in certain parts of Roumania are still most serious.Grave disorders are re ported to have broken out on the es: troops have been sent to the royal do- maing.It is rumored that Jarge numbers of peasant rioters have been kill- lescha, and it appears that a large number of rioters, on trying to enter the town of Galatz, were repulsed by soldiers near the village of Losavene, with a losg of twenty men killed ; then the peasants turned their attention to Brai- at Vlasta, near Stareski, and at Cra- jova, but these to the occurrences of Monday and Tuesday, as, owing to the censorship, all despatches bave to be mailed to the frentier.Information which reached here late last night, indicates that peace is slowly being restored, particularly in the northern part of Moldavia, It is feared, however, that one result of the disturbances will be the neglect of tillage and a consequent dearth of wheat next winter, with diminishing exports, which will mean a financial calamity in Roumania.Bucharest, March 28.\u2014Order generall has been restored in the prevince of Moldavia.but fresh disturbances have occurred in the Dolj district and several other places in Wallachia.The disorders at Nzacfi have been suppressed by the killing or wounding of twenty-five men.At thig point the troops dispersed 500 incendiaries.There ig still serious fighting in the Viasta district, where bands of plunderers who have taken refuge in villages are being shelled by the troops.\u2018COLONIAL CONFERENCE Br \u201c National Review.\u2019 (Canadian Associated Press.)

but the children should be Canadian from the first.Take them into school in infancy and this is accomplished.English becomes their own language.They are shaped in the ways and ideas of the country.Admit them a yeer or two later and they are foreigners still and need in these respects to be made over.The kindergarten is a positive necessity of our system.: \u2014 Some interesting cases of expired copyright bave been before the courts.One ia that of Webster's Dictionary.The Merriam firm, of Springfield, Massachu- \u2018setts, who exploited the dictionary from the first, have urged from court to court in England the claim that the name of Webater has become theirs by long use\u2014 by user, as the English legal phrase is.The claim has not, however, been admitted by any court.A similar case has arisen with regard to Ruskin\u2019s earlier works, which are being re-published by other publishers than the printers who have hitherto had a monopoly of them.Their ples is that Mr.Ruekin himself long after declared those editions to be cheolets, and the expressions in them like the custom.ol manufacturers who prolong the life of theéir patents by pe- tenting improvements and proclaiming nothing genuine without these improvements.It is obvious that no copyright need die, so long as the.author lives or for the standard peried after his death, if he can prolong it by replacing it by new editions.The patentees just refer red to would never pretend that their original machine could not be imitated after ite patent has expired, All they would claim is that that is not now the right machine, The Ruskin publishers can make the same proclamation againet the firet editions; but it would be con- trevening the very intent of the copyright law to iphibit others from the use of those editions.As for Ruskin, the.| very charm of him is that everything he vehemently asserted he later with equal vehemence denied.He is delicions ly inconsistent.\u201cNo revisal of Ais works could possibly rob them of this cngaging charm.: ) A prominent New York newspaper 4s of opinion that the severe winter experienced in Cansida will probably affect It is extremely gratifying to Canadians to know that alresdy the bookings on the Canadian vessols bave surpassed thoeq of previous years.There has been a great damor for accommodation on the these liners, long before the approach of epring, and thousands are pouring into the country from England and also from the United States.Time was when à serious winter, auch as the one we have experienved, would bave prevented many people from coming but the zero climate is now accepted in Great Britain as & matter of course, own 8nd instead of contemplating unkmown berdships and privation, ere ie à ous and healthy climate,\u201d It is expected that about three hundred thousand newcomers will thie year swell the total of Canada\u2019s population, a number witich in iteelf és sufficient proof of the confidence held in Europe in tibe resources end possibilities bf the Dominson, ! mere NE \u201cBo atuch has been heard of.-threst- ened railway retrenchment in the United States that the people there and else where bave been prepared for q wilh {drawal of reflway activity\u2014on the fines Ÿ of development\u2014to an extent bordering on the dangerous when thé egrécultural was that of « emttailment of ps of steel rails, bub the reports of the leading steel manufacturers show that very few cancellations of orders have beech made do date.There have, of couree, been some cancellations, but the total amounts to less than twenty thousand tons, and this includes orders which bad been purpoeely placed on the de- ferved shipment list.The big railway systems will take all the eteel they bave contracted for, and will, no doubt, push forward the work of building new lines and maintaining the old ones in an endeavor to prevent the rival corporation from eecuring the coveted territory for operations.Of course the much heralded retrenchment measures were incident to the world-wide stringency in the money market; great railway builders being adverse to buying money at anything like the rates now ruling, and they were forced into the belief, at the time at least, that they would not place new issues of bonds on the market until there was a turn in the tide of monetary values.They might have to wait a very Jong time for that, however.The destruction of the French battie- ship \u2018Jena\u2019 in the dry dock at Toulon, by an explosion, suggeste what may have been the cause of the disaster to the United States battleship \u2018Maine\u2019 in the arbor of Havana.Ships of this class are huge, vastly-ocmplicated machines, extremely dengerous in ell their parts, and require the wtinost care to prevent accidents.What with explosives, what with electricity, it is doubtful whether the most capable naval experts are fully aware of all the chemical conditions on which the gafety of these mighty sleeping v .depends.Dimastrous effects may be produced from obscure causes where so many inflammable me- terials and gaseous compounds are stored in a limited space, with metallic ocon- ductors everywhere, and currents of am incalculable force let more or less loose among them.Discipline may be striet, inspection constant end eearching, but the number of accidents, resulting in loss of life and continually occurring in all navies, are an expensive way of discovering the defects which only experience can weveal in these mighty engines of destruction.It would seem that though the powers are unwilling to consider the question of limitation of armaments, there arc natural forces at work to compel recognition of the fact that battle shipe are almost as dangerous to those who man and command them as to an enemy.A bundred yeats hence poster.OTR ea dee eg 20 ity mey regard the wamships of these\u2019 days with astonishment, and wonder st built and sailed them, as we wonder ut the cockle-shells with which Celombue made the discovery of America.There is another big newspaper gooseberry going the rounds.It im do the effect that a cobbler of Adoona, Pennsylvania, bas discovered a mysterious olution whereby ashes may be burned and give greater unit results of heat than the original coal.This we are told might.change the entire coal history, and tas the wicked Coal Barons feering a cfi- max so disastrous to them, have offered | the cobbler mearly & million dollars if he will destroy his secret for ever;

valuable lives would bave.been saved and much injury and euffer- ing prevented.Which is to easy, that culpable indifferénce or © been somehow and somewhere at the bottom of it.Some one bas said that when a person dies of typhoid fever, some other person should be \u201changed.For typhoid fever is a preventable disease.With equal force ib might be said, far too often and \u201cwith too much truth, that when a person dies through a reilway accident, some other book.For railway accidents are pre- ventable\u2014not alwags, but far too often.And a little dharnp punishment wogld go a long way to make them less frequent.At the same time it is known overdoing their lines.The whole financial system of the country is in desperation\u2019 by reason of the failure to move the crop, the money being locked #sp in| wheat in transit.New rails arè not to be bad, orders being in everywhere for a year ahead.It requires stern mvesolu- tion under auch circumetances to ks no risks, .25 FINANCIAL REVIEW.There are mpny indications \u2018that the to have an atmospheric brightness tbe world over.There are still, as might\u2019 be expected, a few factors adverse to any great immediate degree of optimism; such as the very badly shaken public confidence, and the extremely heavy, for April, dividend and interest disburse ments of $135,000,000 to be met in the United States\u2014the latter of which may be called a bull influence euspended.On the other hand, there is the low level of security quotations, judged from an investment standpoint, and the continued Jow price of foreign exchange, which admits of gold engagements.The fact that Tondon, or, more correctly, the Bank of England, will pow favor further purchases of gold on American account in pegging the heel on a school boy's ehoe, |\u2019 to exploit an inrcutnon, which, he claims, fa person or persons should be brought fo | to everybody that railways never had] © euch an excuse as they have fo-day for take! financial storm-cloud, which has caused| - such havoc in Europe and America has} passed and that in its place we are now|,.that the financial situation in Great Britain has been relieved, and is now con- the ignorance and temerity of those who | sidered sound by the governors of the \u2018bank.\u2018Then there is the satisfactory attitude of the mew Secretary of the United States Treasury, Mr, Cortelyou, towards the present monetary stringency.This gentleman, to the gratification of Wall street, be it said, has followed the precedent set by Mr.Shaw, his pre dncessor, of accepting as security for United States deposite bonds approved under the laws of New York and Mas sachusetts as savings bank investments.Another important announcement bearing directly on the money situation was that of Mr.Cortelyou\u2019s decision to allow æhstoms receipts in New York to be deposited with national banks.This alone means about twenty million dollars of funds for the banks during the course of the week.\u2018The recent liquidation has al- 20 been a factor of much importance in the money position of the country.lowest level of stocks on this market registered this year.With the further liquidation and decline in New York god London at the commencement of the week, and the extreme scarcity of money available for apeculative purposes in the hartéred banks, a great volume of selling orders was - precipitated and the demand, although of first-class quality, was insufficient to hold prices from a very severe slump.On Tuesday, the international markets sent better prices, due to considerable satisfaction over the fact that only a few failures of little importance were recorded at any of the great market centres.The improvement was continued, with slight recessions here and there, but with a persistent effort to overcome the pessimism {hat had gained #0 much force through the persistent hammering of the bears.Yesterday, the markets of the world were buoyant and prices were marked up substantially.There will probably be a period of irregular quotations, but &t |from now until definite crop news is forthcoming, as a consequence of the rebound, financiers anticipate a preponderance of gains, which will gradually lift the level of prices to a basis more in touch -with the earnings and dividend qualifications of the several railway and industrial firms.Cana- |] dian Pacific has gained ten points since last Saturday\u2019s market.Twin City ome Tyesda point, Toronto Railway about three À points \"over the dowest of the week.Détroit was a very weak stock, and lost one and -a half point since Satur | day, but regained three and a half points | oni the lowest of this week.Iron bonds were extigmely weak, touching and | maintaining the lowest figure of the year at 75 for several days.The preferred stock was stronger and higher than at the beginning of the week.The common, after dropping to 17, recovered a point on a good purchasing demand.Illinois was weak with the general market at 85 in the early t.ad- ing of the week, but subsequently re covered to 87, ex-dividend.Lake of the Woods was quiet and steady at the recent décline.\u2018Montreal Power surprised the friends of that company by sviling down at 82, but the recovery was quick, on a reported large purchase on acsount of French investing interests.Montreal Street was quiet and low at £02, six points being added to that price in the general move forward.The bank stocks received some attention at steady prices.\u2018 THE TRANSVAAL PREMIER BOTHA\u2019S WORDS ON LBAVING FOR ENGLAND.ye + (Canadian Associated Press.)

with with- led to turbines; 100-Kw, 125-voit direct.current exciters -coupléd to turbines; and two 175-Kw, -125-volt exciters, coupled to three-phase 2,300-voit indue- tion motors.The switches are sectional, and are .separated by walls.There are fifteen transformers, comprising two banks of 1,100 horse-power, and- three banks of 2 400 horse-power.The voltage in operation is steoped up irom 2,300 volts to 60,000 volts for transmitting to the sub-station at Winnipeg, over a distance'of 65 miles.The power and transformer houses are absolutely fire-proof, being built of structural steel and brick throughout.The general ar rangement of the sub-station at Winnipeg is similar to that.of the transformer house\u2018at Lac du Bonne The most essential feature of the, station construction is.the absolute protection.of life and apparatus afforded throughout.From the power house there are run duplicate transmission lines;

thé one she chooses ig very much p ried into folds, and it bristles with pdints.The women approach with a crimgon over-gown, and slip it over the Queen\u2019s head\u2014it is open in front to show the rich petticoat, and it has great stuffed wings, epauletted, or ma- hoitras on the shoulders.The tight- fitting bodice of the gown is buttoned up to the throat, and is stuffed out in has falling sleeves, but the real sleeves ht.out and tied to the and then the pnder-proper or supportasse of wire and holland is fastened on her neck, and the picadillie ruff laid over it.The Queen \u20ac nges her slippers far cork-soled shoes, while her girdle is knotted, sees that the looking-glass, fan, and \u2018pomander are hung upon it, and then, after a final survey of herself in the glass, she calls for her muckinder or anderchie, and\u2014Queen Elizabeth THE ENEMIES I could have & as swegt as any lark, Whe i jn, ve sung as des ch od him est, And sings to leaning angels prayer and - praise, For in God's garden the most lowly nest.k Lim \u2018till brighter days f many of from the heavy draught horse to the little chaffinch brought by a poor seametress to be treated for asthma.No charge is made, but many owners who are able to do so send a cheque to the hospital tharies in token of gratitude for the ekilled care given to their animals.The matron wears the regulation white cap and apron of the ordinary hospital nurse, and by each stall i js hung a card with details of the \u2018case.\u2019 \u201ci, first thought it will seem to many that an \u2018Animals\u2019 Hospital\u2019 is a far- of fetched charity, while there are so many human beings in need of help of one kind and another.It appears, however, that apart from relieving the sufferings of the animals themselves, the work of the hospital often averts a very real trouble from a child, or from some of the most pitiably lonel among human beings, by saving the life of some bird of animal, the well-loved and sometimes the only companion of ite owner.As an instance, an old tabby cat in the hospital had been brought by an old man.He had been out of work for months, and could not afford to pay for \u2018the bit of cat\u2019s meat\u2019 for his old pet any longer.With tears in his eyes he pleaded with the attendants to keep his one friend for A rabbit was ht in by a little \u201cboy, who was in bros le grief over bunn 5 having had his leg badly broken.e hospital people say that the institution is an excel- ent medium for discovering the best in human nature, as well as the virtues of animals, Under the rough exterior of the men and women who bring their animals for treatment there lies a substratum of kindlinees and a keen desire to know how to best care for the four-footed companions of their struggles and trials.THE \u2018WITNESS DAILY MODEL FASHION CATALOGUE FOR SPRING AND SUMMER, 1607.For the convenience of our subætrit> ers, we have arranged to supply a cate logue containing between 400 and 500 of: the very latest devigns for ladies\u2019, misses\u2019 and children\u2019s garments, also Ulustrated- lessons on the making of fine lingers and baby clothes, including the various embroidery stitches ncw in use, and the fancy stitches employed in the finishing of hand made garments.To poney taie roms pte or t, 8m en: Witness.in B Bui g Of liliputian foes, whose thrust and Did blind my eyes and bush my song in tears;

and the term \u2018Downing Street\u2019 has assed, from the language of political discussion.Whether tue Colonial office is presided over by Mr.Chamberlain, Mr.Lyttleton or Lord { Edgin, I bear testimony and cheerful testimony that the efforts of the Colonial office have always been in the direction of mee as far as possible, the wishes of the Colortial governments.So far, I agree with the o ation which has been made by Mr.Borden, that.we have here mo part to take in the British political situation.Whether the government of Mr.Balfour or the government of Sir H Campbell-Banner- man is in office.e government represents the British people and our relations with the British government are \u2018most friendly.In regard to the idea of an-Imperial Council, it is not clear to me, that it would improve our relations with the Empire to deal with such a council, rather than.through the Colonial office, as it has been carried on under the sent regime\u2014that is the regime which has existed in Canada since the institution of representative ent.If it were compoeed of officials, I should fear that all the \u201cfaddists, all the men of one idea, all the men whose business it is to solve problems behind a desk, and in the quiet of their offices, might reach conclusions which would come to the interested governments in a form which might prove embarrassing.We have problems enough in every colony.communications are to be made, if \u2018new ideas are to be acted upon, the initiative should come from the respective vernments which compose the British pire.For these reasons we do mot hasing them at slic rate of 5,000 à year becanse the favor, at present, the creation Bryce, who has been until rntelcyduéwB | rer might pose in England as \u2018a free | lit was of the council.But, we do not intend to hive Tan , EL ce A pretend to speak ex-cathedra, we have vot said that our opinion on this ject is final and not to be reviewed.We have stated, on the contrary, that it be our duty, as- well as our .Pleasure, to receive the suggestions of the onial Conference which is to opea iB a few days.These are the .views of the Canadian government on the subject.\u201cWe have made no representations and no suggestions, when these were invited, for the reason, as I bave already stated, that our relations with the Empire are happy and that we have no grievamces.The only.question in which we: axe: interested, and the only question \u2018we: intend to bring before the conference, is the question which absorbed\u2019 the most of the time of the last conference\u2014the- trade question.And upon.the trade question: itself we have nothing new to offer.My friend, Mr.Borden, has stated that the resolution adopted.by the British Conference.in 1902, was adopted at the suggestion of th Cona- dian ministers.t is embodied in the ago\u2014I need not repeat it.\u201cSuch as our policy was in\u2019 1902, such it, is in 1907.We have given to.the British ple a preference under our tariff.is we bave done fo T our bepe: fit and for the benefit of the eiatien \u2018which exist between us and \u2018the Mother, Country.But.we have stated that if it suits the British people to.récipro- cate, we shall be pre to \u2018discuss, the situation, and to go a.step further ning to say this.os ro This nothing say upon point.\u201d Thi policy, which we suggested, has\u2019 1d with favor in\u2019 Britain.od, bas PREFERENTIAL © TRADE.-.| \u2018Well, sir, it is not for \u2018us-at this nko ment, not for me, on behalf of the Cana: dian people, to press this matter \u2018on the British people.- It is for the British people to make up their minds whether \u2018the policy is acceptable to them, and \u2018would be for their benefit.All I have to say, and in this I am sure I voice \u2018the views of every man in this Hopse, is that the British Empire (Gynt) M Miss deep interest.I'dots, | LEGISLATURE OF to the British sovereign, meet | 1t is} Grand Forks, N.D., March 37.ome\u2019 Ratified \u201cby British \u2018 House of \"= wo ;
