First Boat of Season Joffre Predicts Speedy Termination of War Paris.—General Joffre has predicted a speedy termination of the war in victory for the Allies, according to a despatch from Dunkirk published in the Eclair. The despatch from Dunkirk says: "General Joffre, the French commander-in-chief, in the course of a visit to Belgian headquarters to decorate certain Belgian officers with the legion of honor, told King Albert and Premier Broqueville that the war soon would come to an end to the advantage of the Allies."

By successive rushes amid ice and snow, Russian troops are said to have carried a series of Austrian lines, and in view of British observers, they bid fair soon to break through in force between the Lupkow and Uzsok passes. Almost daily thousands of Aus- trians are being taken prisoners. 'hi the 4th, 20 officers and 75m men were taken prisoners in the Carpathians by the Russians.

Snowstorm Wrecks Holiday Business Philadelphia.—The snowstorm which struck the middle Atlantic states on the 3rd became almost a blizzard— the worst storm of the winter in this section. Wire communication with all New Jersey seashore resorts was interrupted, as was also steam railroad traffic and street car service, causing a partial paralysis nf business. With the coming ol the storm, the Easter plans of most people went to pieces.

Newport News, Virginia. — Commander Theirichens of the1 German auxiliary cruiser Prinz i Eitel Friedrich has asked the United States Government through port authorities to interne his ship and crew, Sir Richard Goes to London SHIPS FLYING BRITISH, AMERICAN, AND BELGIAN FLAGS OPERATED UNDER COMBINE. Ottawa.—A message has been received here that Sir Richard McBride left New York on Saturday last aboard the Lusitania for London. The Premier of British Columbia spent several days of last week in New York in company with J. W. Stewart, president of the Pacific Great Eastern Railway, lt is understood that they carried on some negotiations for the sale of bonds of that railway, but a satisfactory price could not be obtained, and Sir Richard has now gone on to make a quick trip to London to see what can be done there in the way of financing the railway, whose construction bonds the British Columbia Government has guaranteed. A spinster mny live to congratulate horsolf on the number of times she did not marry, Over 123,000 Prisoners sent to Russia Petrograd. All the Austrian prisoners from Przemysl have now been sent into the Interior of Russia. Altogether they comprise nine generals, 2..()7 officers and 113,890 soldiers. In addition there were 6800 sick or wounded persons whose condition prevents their transportation and who are still retained in hospitals at the front. Austrian doctors and nurses to the number of 289 have been temporarily retained to look after them. New York.- The International Merchantile Marine Company, organized by J. P. Morgan & Co. and controlling a great fleet of steamships plying between the United States and Europe, was placed in the hands of a receiver last week by the federal court. The receiver named was P. A. S. Franklin, vice-president of the company. Action against the company was taken by the New York Trust Company, trustee of its $..2,714,000 four and a half per cent, collateral trust bonds, interest on which has been defaulted. The proceedings are understood to be friendly. Mr. Franklin was placed under a #50,000 bond and empowered to continue the business of the company. Arranging Loans in United States New York. — Conferences a- mong bankers here have brought almost to a conclusion arrangements for the extension of credits to Great Britain, France, Italy and other countries in addition to the $10,000,000 loan to Germany, The French credit, it is expected, will be the first to be closed. The amount has not been defin- ately fixed, but may, it is said, be as large as $50,000,000. The British credit, it is said, may be twice as large as that of France. Negotiations are in progress for a loan to Russia in addition to the $25,000,000 she recently obtained. Italy is likely to obtain a credit. Russians Capture 260,000 Prisoners London.—According to a despatch received here from the Petrograd correspondent of the Daily Mail, the Russians have taken 260,000 prisoners on the Carpathian front since the Slav advance started on January 21. Another despatch to the Daily Telegraph said the Russians for some time past have taken prisoners in the Carpathians at the rate of an army corps every two weeks, John Oliver vs Colony Farm Stock We publish this week a letter from Mr. John Oliver, in which he reiterates his statements concerning Mr. Ellison's connection with a company which Mr. Oliver alleges is the owner of large areas of land in the northern interior of the province. In reply we again repeat with the utmost emphasis possible our statements made two weeks ago. Mr. Ellison does not now, and never has owned an acre of land outside of the Okanagan. He has not purchased a single dol lar's worth of public lands since j he became a member of the Gov-! ernment. The company with which he is connected does not own any of these lands despite the quotation from the advertisement furnished by Mr. Oliver, for which an explanation will be forthcoming, no doubt, in due' course, We may add that we are in-; formed that Mr. Oliver bought! at a sale of Colony Farm cattle a bull at the low price of $35. We suppose that had this animal been "knocked down" to Mr. Ellison at this figure, it would have been alleged that he paid less! than it was worth. This would seem to indicate very clearly that "scrub" stock was not so uncommon among the Colony Farm herd as some people would have us believe.—Vernon News. Canada's War Orders. The Pacilic Land and Townsites Company, Limited. The B. C. Gazette gives notice- that a meeting of creditors of; the Pacific Land & Townsites Co.

W. Stobart, Purchasing Commissioner for the British War Office, has placed 255 contracts, with an aggregate value of $80,000,000. Of this sum (says the Toronto Mail and Empire) only $765,000 went to the United States for goods which could not be got here, more than nine-tenths of the expenditures thus being made within the Dominion and going to keep Canadian workmen and Canadian capital employed. An inventory of Mr. Stobart's purchases ir- cludes sheep-lined coats, sweater coats, wool vests, wool and cotton drawers, wool and leather mitts, socks, cap comfortings, flannel shirts, cholera bands, rubber boots, boot laces, buttons, leather accoutrements, packs and haversacks, binoculars, razors, shaving brushes, mess tins, clasp knives, halters, railroad ties, posts and pegs, shovels, and pick handles. In addition, Colonel Rarton has spent $5,000,000 here for greatcoats, jackets, and trousers for the British Armies. $3 PER ANNUM WILLARD KNOCKS OUT JOHNSON JN 26 ROUNDS Havana, April 6.-Jack Johnson, exile from his own country, yesterday lost his claim to fistic fame as the heavyweight champion of the world, the title being wrested from him hy Jess Willard, tbe Kansas cowboy, the biggest man that ever entered the prize ring and a "white hope" who at last, has made | good. On Wednesday Johnson and j his wife and a little group of j friends will sail for Martinique, ! there to await passage back to j France, where Johnson proposes [to settle down and lead the life jof a farmer, raising pigs and chickens. There is no doubt that he is through with the ring. Willard, who is being acclaimed as the new champion, is going back to the United Siates to win the fortune which was denied him yesterday when Johnson got $30,000 before the fight started, Willard taking only a small share of the net receipts. Just what his share was is not known. Yesterday's fight probably has no parallel in the history of ring battles. For twenty rounds Johnson punched and punched Willard at will, but his blows grew perceptibly less powerful as the fight progressed, until at last he seemad unable or unwilling to go on. Johnson stopped leading and for three or four rounds the battle between the two big men was little more than a series of plastic poses of white and black gladiators. So it was until the 25th round when Willard got one of his wickedly swinging windmill right hand blows to Johnson's heart. This was the beginning of the end. When the round closed Johnson sent word to his wife that he was all in and told her to start for home. She was on the way out and was passing the ring in the twenty-sixth round when a stinging left to the body and a cyclonic right to the jaw caused Johnson to crumble on the floor of the ring, where he lay partly outside the ropes until the referee counted ten and held up Willard's hand in token of his newly won laurels. There was much discussion after the fight — and probably will be for all time - - among the followers of the fighting game as to whether Johnson was really knocked out. In the sense of being smashed into unconsciousness, he certainly was not put out. The consensus of opinion is that Johnson expected and knew that there was no possibility of his winning; so when knocked down, he chose to take the count rather than rise and stand further punishment. He has often stated that fighting is a business and he would not foolishly submit to repeated knockdowns when he found he had met his master. A second or two after Jack Welsh, the referee, had counted ten, Johnson quickly got up, It was well that he did, for a moment later a rush of spectators to the fighting platform all but smothered the pugilists. The fight was a clean one. No match between heavyweights that has gone to a finish was cleaner or less brutal. Luck counts once in awhile count all tho the time, in .ins Prohibition Successes. Regulation of man's morals and Conservative party is returned to power. The statement of Mr. Bowser that "possibly in the future I shall be able to do more in fashioning the policy of the government," may also be accepted as an indication of how the wind is blowing. ethics by law is not popular for any sustained length of time. Therefore, the joy of prohibitionists at recent successes in the west must be tempered by the reflection that the voter for sobriety by statute is liable to reverse his action, as he has done already in 14 states. .

The heroic part its soldiers have played and are playing in assisting in the destruction of the power that has so long threatened the very existence of every nation that stood in the way of its insensate ambitions must earn for it the gratitude and goodwill of the civilised world. The effect, of this upon the commercial prosperity of the country must be boundless—far greater even than the most optimistic of us can easily realise. The goodwill of the world, I need scarcely remind you, is a trade assetof incalculable value. Think for a moment what the position will be when the war is ended, whether, as we hope, in the comparatively near future, or whether it is prolonged to our utmost fears, As a commercial rival of moment, Germany cannot count for at least a decade.
