over a term of years.Mr, Bourassa bad Mmmaeli proposed that Canada should assume the defence of Halifax and Esqui- mault.That alone would cost more than the expenditure suggested by Lord Dun.No officer ever sent to Canada had created a more favoureble impression than Lord Dundonald, and Col.Thompeon was delighted that Mr.Bourassa was the only man on either side of the House who had ventured to stand up and attack that officer.Mr.E.F.Clarke (Toronto) vi attacked Mr.Bourassa and niGorously Lord Dundonald was only exercising the rig ritirh free speech in making speeches he wus charged with.the LAURIER DEFENDS BOURASSA.The Prime Minister, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, thought.that Mr.Bouraese had been misinterpreted, and that ge had no intention of malung à personal attack on Lord Dundonald.The General Officer Commanding was amenable to public opinion as expressed in Parliament, and Mr.Clarke's position that he should not be criticized by members of Par lament would never meet with acceptance in (ireat Britain.Prime Ministér eaid he thought Lord Dradon was one of the ableut men Canada had ever had to command the militia.He wae à gentleman in every sense of the word.But if

impossible for tettle- ments like the Barr colony to exist 80 miles from a railroad.There would be ruin and distress if it were attempted.He hardly knew what remedy to a t, but pointed out the terms on which the C.P.R.received its subeidy and charter required it to provide efficient and rcgu- lar service.He urged that the Govera- ment enforce these terms of the act.MR.TARTE DEFENDS C.P,

Canadians.\u201d If the Canadian Pacific Railway was a patriotic institution, let it be patriotic enough to t to ssible to organ of furnish sufficient facilities that the people of the west would not

connect with American roads why had they not the rame Tight to do so as the people of the east bad?Mr.Davis strongly resented the insinuation that-the people of the west were disloyal and.wmpatriotic.The fact that the people of the west had sent more soldiers for the defence of the Empire in Africa than any other part of Ca- nuda.was proof that they did not desire to break with the Dominion and annex themselves to the United States.NAT.BOYD ATTACKS TARTE.Mr.N.Boyd (Macdonsld), held there was cause for complaint from Manitoba and the Territories of the lack of transportation facilities.He hotly resented Mr.Tarte's implication that \u2018the people of the West were unpatriotic.Though the North-West might owe a great deal to Fastern Canada, owed a great deal to the North-West.Take the North-West away from Canada to-day and the rest of Canada would amount to fittle.If Mr.Tarte expected all the Weat's wheat to come over Canadian channels to- Canadian ports, he

colleagues, although cngaged duJy in eonjunction with the Foreign Office in the preparation of the Alaska boundary case bave found, however, several opportunities ef improssing on British public men the extreme unwisdom of an attempt to push Canada, at the present moment, in- te any new paper constitution for the Nrapire, or any schemes for money contributions to the navy from Canada or other parts of the empire.The time is not yet ripe for an Imperial x adwmipistrative responsibility which would from be an inevitable sequel to a money con- Ho.Mr.Sjfton has pointed out Can- aén's trouble with Germany in illustra.de.He says: \u201cGermany bas not treated ( s ell, and we are doing what we - think right under the circumstances, but we do not know that the British Govern- \u2018ment care to have us say that what we are \u2014\u2014déing is in the exercise of the judgment of the.King, it being done in the exercise of: the judgment of the Canadian Parlia- meat.We are taking the responsibility, asd that is an illustration of a thousand tings that may arise from the closer legis- du union in connection with the affairs the eoclf-governing colonies.Whatever be the nature of the constitution binding Clmade to the Empire, as she becomes sitouger, developing in wealth, strength apd population, she will become a stronger bilwark of British ideas of supremacy.\u201d Jn 6 word, Hon.Mr.Sifton urged the gitish ministers to go slow in imperial de and to understand that the Canadian Géverament has taken no step whatever.He also represents Canada\u2019s dissppoint- ment at the

WALSER I$ AN INNOCENT MAN.The Priest Held in Connection With the Death of Ohio Girl Given His Liberty.Elyria, Ohio, May 6.\u2014At the end of a rather complete investigation into the cause of the death of vba Reichlin, who was murdered last Thureday night, Coroner French, of this county, last mght gave as his conclusion the verdict: \u201c\u201c\u2018T'hat Agatha Reichlin came to her death wounds 1ntlicted by a stone in the hands of a person unknown.\u201d investigation was held in the presence of a large and deeply interested crowd of witnesses and spectators.The conclusion reached by the coroner, resulted in the freeing of Father \\Walser from confinement later in the evening.The consensus of the testimony of the witnesa- es was favourable to lather Walser's claim of innocence, and id support ef the theory that a burglar or some other de- seperate man had committed the crime.Father Walser was formally discharged from the charge of murder in Loraine last night.Mayor King went through the formality of readiug the warrant for Wal- sers arrust, and his attorney, !E.G.John- sop, eutered a pléa of not guilty.Prose- culing Attorney Swroup, addressing his honour, said in.substance: \u201cAfter having listened to the evidence presented at the inquest, I can see that there is not sufficient evidence to hold the defendant.The action taken on the art of the officers in arresting Father ; alser has been in accordance with their uty.\u201d Mayor King then stated that as the prosecuting attorney had remarked there was not sufficient evidence to hold the accused, and added: ' \u201cI have nothing to do but discharge him from custody,\u201d concluding by saying he was pleased no evidence had been adduced to hold the accused.Father Walser arose, and with moistened eyes addressed Mayor King, saying, in part: \u201cYou can not say a word against me; you have hurt me a great deal.Agatha Reichlin is the last person 1 would have killed; I cannot kill anybody.1 could not kill & chicken.I thank the officials for their courtesies extended me, especially would I thank Sheriff Salisbury, as he alone treated me as a noble entleman could have done.à I thank all cs in

to The Montreal Star.Sydney, N.S., Muy 6.\u2014At a meeting of North Sydney Board of Trade last night a resolution was passed to the effect that as transportation is the moet important factor in the.nations commerce, and its industrial development.the principle of federal subsidies to railway {ines can only be justified by use of the shortest tracks with the least grade, con sistent with the requirement of the country and subject to stringent condi- tioñs.That for a short transcontinental line, the short track and easy grade as indicated on the plans of the Trans-Canada Railway should recommend that route to the favourable consideration of the Government and Parliament, and that in the interest oi the whole country provision should be made for extending a short line through the Maritime Provinces to s first class port on the eastern seaboard of Canada.Classified Advertising in the Star, The very heavy demand for space for condensed classified adver:isements in THE STAR

all those who are regarded as suthorities in such matters, includin the celebrated Lallemand, and Roux.by whom it was some time since uniformly adopted, and thst it is worthy the attention of those

CHAPTER XXII.THE DARK COMPANION.Strange and manifold are the ways of the heart of women.Deeply as Adora Gracie fek for Roy McCulloch, and glad as she was to have kimed hin before them all, she could not conceal from herself that he had been somewhat ungenerous in the matter of Sandy Ewan.That young man had, she thought, meant well, and she had the convigtion.latent in the mind of all women, that in affairs teuch.\u2019 Ing justice and the Jaw the beginning and the end of the matter is to have some onc to \u2018speak for\u201d the person aceused., Now Adora knew that Sandy was a Justice of the peace, and though she was intelligent far beyond the average of her class und time, yet she believed (and the fallacy has never been stamped out of the feminine), that all officers of Justice from the sheriff's officer to the red Judge who rode in state into Drumfern every year to the terror of the evil-doer and the praise of them that do well, were Inked together in the bonds of the olos- eet freemasonry.Bo that, if the favour of one could once be obtained, he had only to wink at the rest, his accomplices, as 1t were.Upon which, all was well.Bo it came about that Sandy Ewin, fhe alleged) was being done te.obtain the release of Strong Mac from his prison- house, becamne a not infrequent visitor at the school house among the pines.Adora tolerated him, and as for Mr.Gracie, he \u2018would shorten the school hours in order to hasten into the parlour to talk with Sandy Ewen.At that Adora marvelled greatly, For there was in the new- made laird neither reading nor even the smallest tincture of the love for letters.Yet there was no manner of doubt that he was acquiring some curious power over the dominie.Even when ald à spoke of his ex-pupil his hand would tremble, end a tremour come into hms voice.For the second time Sandy Ewan underlay the spell of Adore.Her very scorns bry i rer facile tri ; r is e fers,when he had thought.thet pe had only to throw the chief.But, he {old himself.#t that.time Sti Mac was in his wa¥.Thetefofd, Strong Mac must be put out of the way, and for this end blond Scot and dark abori jolt Pict made a la toget| id it deep.Pry even told himself that = No rnore dread of polishing day, it makes silver cleaning like play: E SilverPolish Lemens care, saves all wear; and imparts a | bailiancy that has made it famons around We yoekd.10% à lustre that late, Group Cr ra LECTRQ ; SILICON 38 YOUVILLE SQR.warrnanred to Recew thMi col and beauty to GRAY HAD Caecniy Hays Malr Nealth.Most satisfac tory Hair growerdressing Sto, Phone M 1716.dandrmff, hair falling and HE Gteeases, Covers BALD 6; ALTH Don\" stain skin or linen.\u2018arge 50 Cowt bottled, \"at leading drmagiesn Lymah, Wholesale Agents, Sons and Co.Montreal.306 312 Adora\u2019s late born forbearance was the he- ginning of something more hopeful.It had only wanted the poacher's son laid by the heels.And then the girl's father\u2014San- dy Ewan laughed to himself.He had found a way with the dotard\u2014such an easy way, and every one knew that Adora Graco would sell her soul to pleasure the do minie.\u2019 Once agair Sandy Ewan deceived himself.He was of the temperament called \u201csanguine,\u201d which, when it turns to do evil.becomes sanguine also as to the re wards of iniquity.He believed that Adora (fracie, separated from Roy MeCulloch.would ere lo become conscious of the advantages of-being the wife of Alexand- Ewan, Esquire of Boreland and Ardin- Ass, Justice of the Pcace on His Majesty's commission for the Ntewartry of Kirkcudhgight, That, he told himself, was surely p tion high\u2019 enough for a do- minie\u2019's daughter.But Sandy Ewan, regarding himself as a most desirable type of the successful man, forgot to take his account with that in the heart of a woman which follows with wistful yearning the .ill-used and misfortunate, until, all unawares, she find her own heart taken in the bands-of a man.Not that Strong Mac's rmisfortunes had had this effect upon Adora, but this at least is certain.that Sandy Ewan's greatness, his blatant desirability, were rather against him than otherwise, so fur as Adora waa concerned.The girl had not yet found her own 0 2 heart, and so scarce believed that she bringing frequent: information of all that |.one.She was like a person ond never suffered from seasick: ness.The evi _was too strong for complete disbelief in tbe existence of the disease\u2014but\u2014she was of opinion tha: the sufferers could help it if they liked! The sécret of Sandy Ewan\u2019s hold over the -dominie was simple.It consisted of a little brandy flask which arrived at the schoolhouse full and left it empl For.ith i i infirmity of schidolmaster could no longer find his way to Lucky Greenlees for his weekly supply.and till now no one had to run the strict blockade which Adora established and maintained.; But Fandy Ewan, at first under the guise f jest dora\u2019s expense, conveyed to the d nie almost daily a supply of the raw spirit which he craved.And the old men, atyfiret with infinite shame in his healt, scquiesced after a et e, and then, the old à ite.coming back fourfold, he gave himself to thinking all day.from his earliest waking moment, of the farmer's visit in the afternoon.At \u2018he \u201chour when Adora was setting the eo the first taste would naa nveniéntiy traneact itself then! e did not come in often, and especially not if she had heard Sandy Ewan with ber father in the parlour.\u2019 There was little « b sf purpose left in the dominie now.\u2018Never robuat, his trials and excesses had worn him to.a shadow.His clothes hung flapping about him, like a about « on a windless .Yet as hi grew.more worn it ne grew more childlike.His mind, too, was wistfully clear, for, \u2018as mueh as anything, it \u2018was the torment of 'his conscience thet had w him Dn.Yet frail as he was, with this secret devil t os something an perba .Oniconquersh Bh or act!

A seems strange that the metropolis of Canada, the greatest centre of population and of business, the principal port of the Dominion, and the que place which of all others is-the most exposed to disturbance, should be discriminated against in this matter.Toronto has its cavalry and infantry, Quebec has its artillery and ite infantry, Kingston bas ite artillery, Winnipeg has its Mounted Rifles, Ottawa has its musketry school, London, St.Johns and Fredericton have their infantry; Montreal has no permanent force whatever.It is hardly fair to the militia that they should be called upon from time to time to do police duty.They are always ready to do their duty.disagreeable or otherwise, but while the Dominion has over a thousand regular troops at ita service it seems unjust to call upon the volunteers to make serious sacrifices of their personal interests, and many of them to run the risk of lomng their employment in order to suppress rioting.À military school is cer tainly as great a necessity in Montreal as it is in St.Jobns, and Montreal's claim to have a military school ie second to that of no city in Canada.-\u2014 JEALOUS OF MONTREALS PROGRESS.The story comes from Chicago that some of the strikes in Montreal are instigated jealous eye upon the by people who have a Canada and who bave paralyzing of our shipping trade.If this be true, it must be admitted that noth ing could be better calculated to destroy the present and prospective trade of the port than such atrikes as are now Occurring.This fact gives some colour to the rumours.We hope that wise and moderate counsels will prevail on both mdes.because both sides have much to lose by a continuance of the present unfortunate state of affairs.The injury that will be inflicted upon the trade of Montreal must injure also the artisans, the mechanics, and the wharf labourers.It is one of those umhapy conflicts in which the possibilities of loss are greater than the possibilities of gain._\u2014\u2014_ in view IS THERE NO REMEDY?There are some things that set thoughtful men reflecting and leave others unaffected.There are others of such pressing gravity tbat no-one can help thinking about them to the measure of his intellectual capacity.Every one to-day must be thinking about the condition of things in this city, the commercial metropolis of Canada\u2014a condition fraught not only with present distress but with vast possibilities of future injury to the trade and prosperity of the city.Every ome, we are persuaded, is askipg the question expressed in our headline :.Is these no remedy?No remedy, that is to say, for open war between employers and employed, with all the bitterness it breeds and all the pecuniary loss it entails.There is.let it be remembered\u2014there must be\u2014 à modus vivendi for the opposing interests.That modus vivendi will be found sooner or later; that is to say, things will settle down sooner or later, on some working basis; but meantime much will have been done that will give cause for prolonged regret.There will be loss to the strikers, there will be loss to the steamship and railroad companies, there will be infinite inconvenience to the community in general.Could all this not have been avoided?We have scant faith in Governmental methods of controlling strikes.What is wanted is not the voice of authority but the voice of reason, which is only another name for the voice of justice.Scripture advises us to agree with our adversary quickly, while we are in the way with him.By \u201cadversary\u201d let us understand, not necessarily an enemy but some one who, on a practical question, takes a different view from our own.The Scriptural injunction implies that we should not run away with the idea that.our view\u2014which.of course, harmonizes with our interests\u2014must necessarily be the correct one.If another view is asserting itself, we are bound to examiné it honestly, dispassionately, and in a manner sympathetically.We should try to see the opposite case from the point of view of those who defend it, just as we should wish them to sce our case from our point of view.A correspondent of à New York paper has recently put the matter well in the following words: \u201cThere can be no lasting peace if either side ia unwilling to consider the issue with fairness, or is controlled by prejudice or pure self-inter est.It may be added that there is need for constant caution lest apparent or temporary success be the aim in place of a settlement founded upon right and justice.\u201d The proper relation between men cooperating to a social end is one of friendship and good-will.The labourer and the employer of labour co-operate to a social end in whatever department of industry they may be engaged; and unless they have a friendly feeling towards one another, there can be no étahility in their association.There is a Latin motto much quoted which, translated.says: \u201cIn time of peare prepare for wer.\u201d A desirsble amendment has been suggested as fotborfs : \u2018\u2019In time of peace prepare for the continuance of pesce.\u201d In industriel matters we may surely adopt the amendment.When things are going smoothly, then is the time to enquire whether practical justice is being done, whether a feeling of good will prevails on both sides, whether there is a reasonable assurance that things will continue tb go smoothly.It is naturel that each side should primarily consider ita own interest; baft Jet no man, rich or poor, imagine thet he can safely pursue his own interest vegardless of justice.Justice will not be trified with.What is justice ?some one will ask.Is it not as hard to define an truth ?Yes, ler it be scknowledgad | that wo one im competent to affirm dog metically just what\u201d justice requires in a given case; but every man hes the ideal of justice in his own heart, and we cen A Toddy made with Sir John Power & Son's call that ideal Yo his counsel when dealing with the claims of another.Aim in the direction of justice, and if you cannot make a bull's eye, you will at leest have a chance of hitting the target.Even if you go a little wide, you will be firing m the opposite direction to that in which injus tice lies.The remedy for these ills is 4 moral one;

but the high court of Parliament is virtually compelled to deal with wo vital a matter as divorce largely in the dark.Canada should either refuse divorce altogether; or establish proper courts where the cases can be tried in a decent and legal manner.EE re THIS DATE 30 YEAZS AGO.(From the Star fyle of May, 1832.)

become acous tomed to their numbers, and we pass on our way in ignorance of the horde of partially incapacitated persons; seeing only those who through the hideousness of their deformities, or the persistance of their pleadings for charity, demand our atten- on Statistics have recently been prepared giving the causation of these deformities, and it has been proven that the majority of these cripples would never have suffer ed from such deformities, would now be wage-earners instead of incapacitated, if they had been treated when suffering children, in buildings and under circumstances especially suited for the cure of those diseases from which such deformities arise.Being impressed with this fact, 6 num- of gentlemen have banded themselves together for the purpose of organizing an institution which shall posaess all those facilities for the treatment of this class of patients which under existing conditions are denied these sufferers, and which have been proven to be essential to the proper treatment of the diseases from which such children are suffering.Plans have been submitted, to this committee, for a_ hospital which will be sur rounded with wide verandahs, opening from the wards of the institution onto which the sufferers being cared for in the hospital.will be wheeled on their beds, perambulators or wheeled chairs, that the curative action of the sun and fresh air which are essential to the treatment of consumption of boné, from which most of these suffer, may be - thoroughly utilized during the summer months, while during the cold weather the patients will be carried to a large \u201csun-bath\u201d or solarium, which surmounts the hospital and | conservatory.wherein the children under treatment may bask in the sunlight and flourish as do our most delicate flowers and plants in a well- constructed conservatory.That such treatment is most efficacious and yet unavailable in the wards of our i hospitals, is shown by the following letter received by this committee from Dr.V.P.Gibney.of New York, an authority with a world-wide reputation on the surgery of children.Hospital for the Ruptured and Crippled, New York, February 9, 1503.I.I am very firm in my

business conditions are good, but there appears to be a hesitancy on the part of manufacturers towards further expansion until there is a change in the labour situation.The quite general unrest among the vast army of the employed is having the inevitable effect of curtalling manu- AR.This is all having its effect on the general business and on the traffic of the railways.Of course, the roads have recently added greatly to their equipment, and the number of empty cars now going on to side tracks mostly represents the newly acquired equipment, temporarily out of commission.There is still a large volume of general merchandise pouring 4 into all sections of the West, but for reasons noted, it is not up to the eu high water mark of a few months ago.Railway officlails look upon the.; Present situation as a temporary one.and are going ahead and making Preparations for another big rush later on.été HHHH0HHHHÉHHT OS DOÔSE » ve 9900060006 056000 2 : RAILWAY EARNINGS.\u2014 Important changes in gross earnings in the fourth 321.000 Over last year, the total being §75,- Week of April were as follows: : 000 aghinst 354,000.A Changes ELECTRIC RAILWAYS8.\u2014According to Fimo Pacific .\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.Inc.$325,000 the United States cengus preliminary re- 3 Raflway .« Inc.NE650!

in Regard to Manchuria are Gradually Merging Into Admissions.London.May 6.\u2014A despatch to the Times from Pékin mys thet the discrepancy in the sssurances ng her demands upon China given by Russia to the different powers excite much interest in Pekin.; It is noted that her denials are gradually merging into admissions.correspondent idle that a ready test of Ruesia\u2019s sincerity would be the insistence on the part of the three powers chiefly interested, that China forthwith declare: open three new treaty ports in Manchuria.It is necessary to -speakk a few plain words about a crigis which virtually affects the interests of every country, great or small.There are certain rules or car dinal principles of diplomacy, without which, intercourse ween comes impossible.One of these is the sacredness of treat oh Aion that they should be openly simply brings diplomacy to an end, | leaves the world at the mercy of that primitive arbiter of destiny, forte.It is impossible to avoid bringing against Russia to-day a direct accusation of this almost unknown, but greatest of all crimes.Her recent course in both the near and Far East invoives a compartively i rtant matter first, Russia violated Treaty of Berlin the other A sending several torpedo boats thro the avelles; Instead of notifying the other signatory powers of her desire or intention to abrogate the- treaty or this portion of it,she resorted to the petty subterfuge of changing the flag and dismantling guns of the boats during their passage.Né treaty ever draîs od val be worth the peper ib is written upon if its application jon is subject.to such dwhonest trickery.A more fragrant vase is that of Rus- ain's ing demands upôn China regarding Manchuria and Mongolia.The text of the documents, which was cabled yewber- day, constitutes complete proof of Ruasia\u2019s bad faith, which no amount of explanation can alter.The demands made against China, instead of being less comprehensive then the first version, may eamly receive even a more sweeping interpretation.Funeral of Hon.Mr.Carmichael.New Glasgow, N.8., May 6\u2014The late ot Riverside cemetery here senterday.at y ay.Finga flosted at half mast all

ied hare, aged Brews CRASHED TOGETHER IN EARLY MORNING Over Twenty Lives Lost by Sinking of the Steamer Saginaw.THERE WAS A DENSE FOG Passengers and Most of Crew Asleep When the Collision Tock \u201c Place.Norfolk, Va., May 6.\u2014The sinking of the Civde steamship Segimaw by the old : Steamship pany's | liner Hamilton, which occurred between Winter usrter Lightehip and Fenwick Island / htwhip, on the Virginia coast, at 4.40 Q'c! yesterday morning, resulted in the loss of over a score of lives.A dense fog settled along the coast shortly after nightfall, and while going h this fog at reduced speed the Hag crashed into the Baginaw's side, about 20 feet from the stern.The scene of the collision is about thirteen or four teen miles off the ashore, and between 190 and 200 miles south of New York, and be tween 125 and 140 miles north of Norfolk.The fog whistles of both vessels were die- tinctly heard by each other for several minutes before the collision occurred.According to Captain Boaz, of the Hamilton, his ship was making about nine knots an hour and the Saginaw about ten.The fog was so thick that objects a ship's length away were invisible, and when the two crafts hove in sight of cach other.bow on, there was but a momént's interim before they met.WHEN THE CRASH CAME.The Saginaw veered, as did the Hamilton, but they had not time to clear each other, and the knife-like steel prow of the south-bound vessel struck the Clyde ship on the port quarter, about 20 feet from her stern, cutting the entire rear of the ship away.The inrushing weter caused the Saginaw to settle rapidly in the stern, and the impetus of the Hamilton took her out of sight of the crippled vessel.Engines, already reversed, were put full stéam to the rear, and the Hamilton circled to the scene of the \u2018wreck, at the same time lowering two hie-boats.was consterpation among the pessen- F of the old Dominion ship.and the fret thought was for their ety, but as soon as it was discovered that the ship was uninjured, except that some bow plates were stove in, all efforts were directed to the rescue of those on the Saginaw.When the Saginaw was again sighted her stern was under water and her bow high in the air.Panicetricken people rushed over her decks, and scrambled toward her: bow.Life-boats were lowered, and into the first fifteen colored women were placed, according to Second Officer Morris, who wus in command.The boat.was swamped as it struck the water, and ite occupants were thrown into the sea.All were drowned except the second officer and the colored stewardess, and she died before the small boat reached the Hamilton, more from injuries received by the impact of the collision than by drowning.She had been held up by First Mate Goslee, who sank himself as the small boat from the Hamilton reached them.FREIGHT LITTERED THE SEA.In the meantime the rush of waters into the bow of the Saginaw had caused the decks to burst from their, fastenings with a roar like the report of big guns.an toms of freight of all dese rotions soon littered the sea.To floating wreckage the struggling people in the water clung with desperation, and many of them were rescued by the boats from the Hamilton and Saginaw.Before the life-boats of the Ha: milton had reached the Saginaw, the latter had disappeared bencath the waves, and nothing but her topmasts were visible.To these several men were clinging.\u2018one of whom was the aged captain, J.8.Tun- pell.When he was taken off it was found that he had suffered severe if not serious internal injuriems Ty .\"The Ham ron hoverel around the ne of the wreck for more than an hour, but no sign oi life could be seen among the mass of floating freight.Two bodies, one of a man and the other of a woman, both clad in night dress, were observed drifting between the bales of cotton and cases of go THOSE WHO WERE LOST.According to the Clyde Line officials the names of only eighteen passengers are known, and it is sdmitted by Second Officer Morris that fifteen coloured women, all of whom are dead, were in the swamped lifeboat.Those known to be lost are : Passengers\u2014A.Gilmore, P.L.Pendle- ton, Florence Newby, Edna Ward, M.E.Jones.Mary Robertson.Crew\u2014Edward Goslee, first mate; William Bittes, first assistant engineer; Mary Anderson, stewardess; \u2014\u2014, cook; William Morris, steward; unkhown coloured waiter; Peter Swanson, a Jame member of the crew is among the missing.Just how many of the passengers were included in the 15 that were lost in the swamped lifeboat cannot be determined as yet.The known saved from the Saginaw are: | Capt.J.8.Tunnell, badly injured about the head and internally, also two riba broken: Chief Engi - Baltzer, Second istant Engineer Murray.Second Mate W.L.Morris, and several

\"\u20ac The United States is today the most conspicuous export manufactur: ing country in the world.Why is this?Because the people and states men of the United States realized years ago that a Strong Protective Policy would first of all build up home manufactures by se curing for Americans the best of the home market, feeling sure all the time that once the manufacturers of the United States grew to the needs of home consumption they would go on bullding for export trade.And to-day all that was predicted for the manufacturers and workingmen of the Uni- Millions upon millions of foreign money and tens of thousands of foreign workmen are pouring into the States to reap some of the fruits of the great National Protective Policy of the American Union.Can Canada repeat this?Look at the Cotton Mills, Tobacco Factories, Rolling Mills, that were built up in Canada under the National Policy.and we can easily picture what would happen if the Government of Canada would give to Canadians a Canada-for-Canadians policy, looking first to the securing for Canadians the Canadian consumption, and then à share of the markets of India, Eng land, Australia, Japan, Italy, Spain.South Africa, in fact, of the whole world.A AAKAA AN OMEN OF PEACE.The most valuable lesson of the succeas- ful series of State visits which King Edward har paid to Lisbon.Rome and Paris lier in the fact that he has felt himself able to absent himsell from his capital at a time when the air has been full of rumour regarding the outbreak of serious international warfare in Euroye, over the Balkan question, and of grave complici- tions regarding the attitude of Russia in the Far East.It 1s absolutely truthful te say that whatever prospective changes \u2018n the attitude of the powers towards each Other may have been sugzested bv his in terviews, there remains the one certain assurance that no international question now pending will involve anv immediate appeal to arms.This lessbn of the King's tour has also received its confirmation by the absence.of the German Emperor from his own country.being also found consistent with the present state of foreign affairs:; had anv serious war beuvn in pros pect @either King Edward.the President of France nor the German Emperar would have been constitutionally able to carry out the programme now accomplishing.which has been some time in preparation.The necdless stress which has been laid upon the \u201csignificance\u201d of the King's tour is.in very large measure.due to the fact that.for the last forty years of her reign.Queen Victoria made no state ealls in European canitals and, consequently.the average man has come to look upon such ceremonial as King Edward, has just in-[hi dulged in as a new departure, signifying that we were on the eve of some new grouping of the \u201cbalances of power.\u201d Without State visiting Queen Victoria was, to her latest dav.probably the most ac- five and astute diplomatic \u201cIntelligence officer\u201d that the various foreign secretaries of Britain ever possessed; her sex and the ramifications of famiiv rel nships gate her an \u201cinside track\u201d which it must be very difficult far anv successor to follow; but even those advantages never allowed her to control the policy of her ministers, as the memoirs of Lord John Russell, Lord Palmerston and others of more recent date amply prove.The Triple Alliance between Germanv.Austria and Italy first proposed in 1882 and actually signed.as a formal instru: ment.on 13th March, 1887, has been thrice asked renewed for sextennial periodg.and will remain in force until 1909.The Dual Alli- .Ance between France and Russia, of the details of which jless is known.remains an active instrument: no act or deed of King Edward during his recent visits could have altered the operation of these formal treaties one jot or tittle.Another very practical proof that the King was merely paving a round of friendly visits rather than framing new international compacts or destroying old ones is to be found in the eircumstance that his entourage included not a single Cabinet Minister: whereas in the formal visit of the Czar to Paris\u2014 oi the President to St.Petersburg\u2014of the Emperor of Germany to Vienna, to Rome i rulers have been accompanied their foreign secretaries; and, aled formal conferences have been , regarding pending international questions, at which both rulers and min- istera have been in evidence.By taking his little excursion at such a time King Edward has certainly rendered a areat service to the friends of peace.HAD QUICK CONSUMPTION.\u201cThree doctors said I had quick consumption.Angier\u2019s Petroleum Emulsion wan prescribed.In alx months I! had : gained-Afty-nine pounds in weight.had no more night sweats \u2018or hemorrhages.Am now in perfect health.\u201d\u2014B.H.Walton, Medford, Mass.- SOLID SILVER WEDDING GIFTS, Our Solid Silver Stock is complete with many useful and handsome articles, a few of which we mention.Bon-Bon Dishes, Mustard Pots, Butter Knives, Preserve Spoons, Cake Dighes, Sait Cellars, Cheese Scoops, Salad Spoons, Coffees Services, Sauce Boats, Cream Jugs, Salad Bowls, Jolly Knives, Téa Services, We paek and deliver at our risk and expense, Wedding Gifts for oT oltside M treal., + Lak RPI Re SLEY, \u201c mu érateutuetré : Silveremith, .285 nes Street, FOUR MINISTERS WERE PRESENT.Q.-Then on the llth you say you had & discussion with your colleagues and referred to the Conservative caucus?A.\u2014 Yes: that was in the morning at break- ast.Q.\u2014How many and which of your colleagues werc theu present?A.\u2014Mr.Har- court, Mr.Dryden, Mr.Lætchford.perhaps Mr.Gibson, 1 wouldn't say definitely: he sometimes goes to Hamilton in the cvening and returns in the morning.Q.\u2014But to the best of your memory these were the four?A.\u2014 Yes.Q.\u2014Then what was the subject of discussion then?A.\u2014Merely I referred to Mr.Gamey's attitude on the 10th and in regard to his position on the 9th.Q-\u2014And then what was said?You had given them in Council bis position\u2014 A.\u2014No, I hadn't gaven in Council.à AN INCIDENTAL REFERENCE.Q.\u2014On the 9th?A.\u2014Not in Counoil.Q.\u2014On the 9th you have already told us that you\u2014\u2014 AL\u2014I dida't say in Coun- ei.There is a difference being in the Council room talking, and being absolutely yin Council, with the Premier in the chair: there is a difference entirely.We were not discussing this as a matter in Council: it was a mere incidental reference by myself to my colleagues who were present.Q.\u2014You did discuss it, but not as coun- ciHors?A.\u2014No.Q\u2014 That having taken place on the Oth, what did take place on the 11th?A.\u2014 Just this conversation at breakfast.GAMEY AT THE CAUCUS.Q.\u2014Did you refer wo the information that vou had given on the 9th, and how correct 1t war?A.\u2014I mid I see Mir.Gamey has been at the Conservative caucus yest ay.Q.\u2014They had all seen that?A.Yes: it was more the jocular discussion than anything else, with regard to his attitude on the 9th and his position on the 10th.Q.\u2014-What did you say?A.\u2014That was Q\u2014 You \u2018mmply referred jocularly to the men that were with you?A.\u2014Yes.Q.\u2014I1t was a matter of amusement to vou?A\u2014Yes.Q-Was the letter referred to them?A.\u2014-Nv, - Q.\u2014Why not, I wonder?A.\u2014I dant suppose they knew anything about the letter at that time.;
