OINTMENT n
Ottawa, Maroh 2—Tbe modifications of the. Grand Trunk Paeific
contraot provide that the time for
the completion of the weBterrj ilivi-
Bion shall be extended until 1911.
If the government fails to construot
the eastern division within a certain time after the western division
is constructed, the company will
get buck its deposit of five millions.
If the government takes over the
eastern seotion at the end of fifty
years the company will have running powers over it.
There can be no foreclosure on
the road nntil five years complete
default in the payment of interest
on the bonds guaranteed by the
government.
Instead of purchasing $20,000,000
worth of rolling stook the oompany
need but purchase $15,000,000 if
the eastern division is not completed.
The government will have to
guarantee bonds for 75 per oent of
the cost of construction of the
mountain section without limitations, but in prairie sections the
limitation stands at $13,000 a mile.
The Grand Trunk railway need
not hold the entire $25,000,000 of
common stock, but simply a majority, so as to control the policy of
the Grand Trunk Pacific. If there
is default by the company to pay
interest the English system is adopted, and an agent cr receiver
will be appointed and the system
will be managed bv him, who, after
paying working expenses, shall apply 75 per cent of the profit to pay
interest on the government's guar
anteeed bonds and 25 per cent on
the bonds held by tbe Grand Trunk
railway.

Nelson, Maroh 2.—The first oase

the damage case of Hoskin vs. Le
Roi No. 2.
An action tried here a year ago
when tbe jury found for the plaintiff, but the court directed judgment to be entered for the defendant company under the legal con-

the jury.
The Supreme Court of Canada
has sent the case back for a new
trial.
The plaintiff ia the widow of a
a former miner in the employ of
the defendant company, who was
drowned in the mine workings by
the inrush of water from an old
shaft.
A jury has been called to try the
case again this morning.
tion. The informant says the quantity of provisions for the troops iu
Manohuria is inadequate. The
reinforcements arriving daily have
to take their own supplies for the
journey while the provisions for
the army already in the Far East
have to be forwarded by the Bame
route.
Paris, Maroh 2.—The correspondent of the Associated Press is informed that authoritative advices
have been received in Paris to the
effeot that the Japanese general
staff left Japan today for Chemulpo.
This is accepted as showing that
all the troops necessary for the forward movement bave been landed
in Korea, and tbat it is expeoted
that th. movement of troops for-
not be added lo the other duties of
the troops, and in erder that all

Paris, Maroh 2.—Paul Delourade,
the royalist refugee interviewed i
the politioal siturtion said. "It Is
evident to me that Deloaase is d >
ing his best to prevent a gen«ral
conflagration in whioh we could
only burn our fingers to the great
delight and greater profit of the
German Emperor. It is impossible
not to see that the Emperor urged
Russia to undertake this Asiatio
oampaign, whioh temporarily
draws the Russian foroes out of
Europe, as Bismark formerly urged
Franoe to undertake oolonial expeditions. The result the Emperor
indirectly alms at is to coalesce
Europe against Great Britain, and,
if necessary, against the United
States, ensuring a monopoly for
German oommeroe by the destruction of rivals beyond the seas."
M. Delonrade added that it waB
an open question whether Franoe
and Russia would be capable of overcoming the combined     Anglo    American     fleet,
by June 1.
Another attack on Port Arthur

THE NAVY.
The new estimates tbat were introduced in tbe Imperial  House ol
Commons   require   the   enormous
sum of $184,447,500, a net increase
of $12,100,000 over the estimates
for the present year. More than half
the increase is due to the decision
of tbe Government to pay the entire balance due for the purchase
ef the two Chilian battleships and
to provide an extra stock of ammunition for next year'B require
ments.   The balance   of  the  increased estimates is occasioned by
the enlargement of the fleet and
the additional sum required for the

giation,   has   caused some  angry
comments in Transvaal colony, od
what is regarded  as  an  improper
interference by   outsiders   in   the
colony's   domestic affairs.    There
has recently eprung up  opposition
from another quarter and based on
another objection than tbat which
has been regarded as the strongest
] argument against   Chinese immigration.   It has been  opposed because of the injurious effect such
immigration waB likely to have on
white labor and as degrading the
standard of living throughout the
community.     But   the  knowledge
that the mines cannot be operated
to the extent desired without securing cheap labor   for   work whicb
white men do not care to do, and
the further knowledge  tbat there
ars not natives  enough to supply
the   need,   have  induced    many
people in the colony to submit to
Chinese  immigration as the only
alteenative.   But now the objection
iB raised tbat to bring in Chinese
on the terms proposed would be to
establish something that would be
I slavery   in   everything   but    the
name.    The  Chinese   are   to  be
bounc to work for  one employer
during their  term.   They cannot
engage iu any other work  or oooupation.   They wouid not have the
protection against unfair treatment
that would be afforded by the right
to seek other employers or employment.    It is, of course, proposed to
have   government   inspection and
supervision   over   the immigrants
and Buch control as will secure the
terms agreed on being carried out
by the employers.   But  it is held
that even the moBt thorough supervision  oould   not   be certain   to

CHAPTER XI (Continued)
I did unbend so muoh as lo consent to mount. A page fetched
my armour and my mighty black
charger draped in crimson blazoned velvet and ribboned from head
to tail, and then I went to the rear
of the lists and put on the steel.
'Thanks, good squirel' I eaid to
the youth who thrust my pointed
toes into the strrups when I was
on my horse. 'Now give me up
my gauntlets aud poBt me in my
prinoiples.'
'Fie, Sir, not to know,' quoth he,
'the worship of weapons and the
honor of fair ladies!'
'Thanks. That is not difficult
to remember, and as to my praotioe?'
'Ahl there you confuse him,'
put in a jester standing by. 'No
good knight likes to be bound to
closely as to that.'
As I rode round tbe lists, a white
hand from under the sister's dais—
to whom belonging I well oould tell
—threw me a flower, the which fell
under my sleek oharger'a hoofs and
was stamped into the trodden
mould. And then the trumpet
Bounded. 'Avantl' oalled the glittering marshal—and we met in
mid career.
Seven strong knights did I jerk
from their high peaked saddles
that morning, and won a ady's
golden head ring, and rode round
about the circus with it on my
lance point. When I came under
where Isobel sat, I saw her fair
cheeks redder than my ribbons
with maiden expectation; but, as I
passed without a sign they grew
whiter than her lawn.. And then
, I reined up and deposited that
oirolet at the footstool of her sister.
The proud, cold maid accepted the
homage as was her duly, but
scarcely deigned to the level of my
helmet plumes while her father
put it on her forehead.
A merry time we had in that
courtly plaoe wailing for tbe signal to start; and much did I learn
and note- soon the favourite gallant in the lists, the best teller of
strange stories by an evening fuel
But never an inch of wsy oould I
make with the impenetrable gi.l
on whom my wayward heart was
set, while the other—the younger
—made her sweeet self the pointing stock of high and low, she waB
so blindly, so obviously in love.
One day it came to a climax.
We met by ohance in a glade of
black shadows among the oedar
branches, I and that damsel in
white, and, finding I would not
woo hei, she set to work and woo
ed me—so sweet, so strong, so passionate, that to this day I cannot
think how I withstood it. Yes and
that   fair,   slim  maid, renowned
gentle retioence, when I would not
answer love with love, and glance
for glance, fired'.up with white hot
passion, threw hesitance to the
wind, and besought and knelt to
me, and asked no more than to be
my slave, so sweet, so reckless in
ber passion, that it was not the
high born English lady who knelt
there, but rather it seemed to me
my dear, fiery, untutored British
Princess I Fool I waa not to. me
it then, witless after so muoh not to
guess the tameless spirit, the intruder soul that poor girl at my
feet held unwitting in  her bosom!
She came to me, as I have said,
all in a gust of feeling unlike herself, and, when I would not say
that which she longed to hear, Bhe
wrung her hands, and then down
she came upon hor knees and olip-
ped'me round my jewelled belt and
confessed her love for me in such a
headlong rush of tearful eloquence
I durst not write it.
'Lady,' I said, lifting the supple
girl to her feet, 'I grieve, but it is
useless. Forgetl forgive! I cannot
answer as you would.'

"Why Smith   Loft   Homo"
Mi. C. P. Walker's comedy oompany, which reoently gave us such
a treat with "What Happened to
Jones," might now, on a its return
from a successful tour to Paoifio
Coast oities, draw another large
audieacs with the same bill. But
Mr. Walker promised us another
equally witty production on the
return of his organization, and this
promise will be fulfilled tonight.
The comedy wbioh on this oocasion
will be given is the companion
piece to Jones and is entitled "Why
Smith Left Home." As Mr. Broadhurst, the clever author of both
comedies, so aptly describes it, it is
a gleeful pleutitude warranted as
an antidote for the most desperate,
fit of the blues. It is a farce which
while keeping withiog the range of
possibilities tells a story tbat is
irresistibly humorous. In London
and New York it had thousands
laughing during runs of many
months duration. Clement Sjott,
the famous English critic, Baid during its run at the Strand, Loudon,
that "Why Smith Left Home" was
the funniest of all the bright
Amerioan farces.
