London, 2nd;���In introducing the Naval Estimates in the House of Commons today, Ernest G., Pretty-man, Sc-cretary'to the Admirality justified the increase in ihe estimates on the ground that the two powers' standard must be maintained. The Russian battleship programme and that of other naval powers had to be consideied. Russia and France together had built, or were building, 64 battleships and France and Germany combined were building, or had built 6i battleships, while the British total was 63 battleship-;. In considering the cruiser programme, the govarnment was not governed by this standard, but by the immense preponderance of British sea-borne commerce. While regretting the inct casing expenditure, the Admiralty remarked it as being insurance. Secretary Prettyman concluded by saying: "The naval policy of Great Britain waj purely defensive. Recent e* vents in the Far East 's-howed the necessity for preparedness to strike the fit st blow aud so obtain incalculable advantage.

Port Tcwuseiid, 28th :-��� After suffering the most harrowing experiences from fire and storm, tlie Sir. Queen put in here today, to report the Ijss of fourteen lives.' The fust class p-iM".eng-*rsdead are: MissStei- nm; Clellirm, Wash., drowned; Mrs Adams died from exposure. Second Class:���D. Nesv.-ibnry, Texas; S. Buckley, and nine of the crew drowned. Aboi:t 3.45 on Satur"da>;.'morniii�� off the month of t'he Columbia River, n fire started irr the after saloon. The cause is unknown. The lire gained a rapid headway, and scon enveloped the whole ship. The heavy seas meant death to'any persons sent off iu the boats. Tlie flames became more threatening until it seemed a choice of death from drowning or fire. Capt. ^Cousins ordeiecl the life-boats 'launched. They were maimed and women and children lowertd into them;. They were hardly cast loose than two of them were capsized. The passengers and crew who remained on board continued to fight the flames with increasing success until at 7.40 a.m. the blaze ,was under control. When it was seen that danger from fire was passed, tlie Captain re-called the boats. The Queen was then headed South and about nine o'clock she sighted the Steamer "Santa Monica" which was signalled and asked to stand by until the repairs weie made. The Queen continued to the mouth of the Columbia, only to find the bar too rough. She was then pointed to Pugel Sound but bad fortune still pursued her. When she rounded Cape Flattery a terrific electrical storm was encountered and the gale was weathered with diffculty. The steamer reached here without further mishap', and she proceeded to Seattle where she arrived about nightfall. ��0��00->��:-��C'4>0'>C^Q^O^O��C><(>0-tiO?--->C'-��<>>C'��0<��0-Kt'>'>$000^0-��00��<:t��-. i THE' KOOTKNAV HOTEL I '.' -,. .

Mr. Chamberlain's Address at the , First Meeting. ; London, Jan. 16.���Mr. Joseph ���Chamberlain presided at the lirst meeting of the tariff commission, 'which as-. eembled here yesterday. ��� Mr. Chamberlain in a , speech drew a parallel from what the United States and ���Germany had accomplished.under projective tariffs, and denied that any tariff icould be framed here which, as, its opponents alleged, would make the .rich (richer and the poor poorer. The United States under protection had reached .prosperity unequalled in thc world. In ,no other country was wealth so evenly |distributed, while there was no country :��n thc. world where such a large, proportion of tlie population was on the Verge of hunger and distress as in Great Britain. Mr. Chamberlain said ,the object of the commission was not .'to formulate tariff laws, but-to iny��s- " tigalc and inquire with open mind. ;A11 that had thus far been decided was ..that the policy adopted sc- many years .ago required reform. i At the conclusion of Mr. Chamber-. . Iain's speech the commission discusr d a general method of procedure.' On ,Mr. Chamberlain's motion. Mr. Pear- 'son was .unanimously elected Vice- 'Chairman. A general purpose commit- .tee was then - adopted. It includes among its members Charles Booth, Sir iVinccnt Caillard, Frederick L. Harris, 'M.P., Sir Alexander' Henderson, Sir Robert Herbert, Sir Alfred Jones and IrVIfred Mosclcy, the two last named be- ,ing respectively Chairman and Vice- chairman of thc committee. Future meetings of thc committee 'will be held on Wednesday and Thursday of each week. . FRANCE'S THREAT TO POPE. I Must Approve of the Appointment of . Archbishops. Home, Jan. 16.���Thc French Government bias presented the Vatican with a note in the nature of an ultimatum regarding the appointment of Bishops to five vacant French Sees, substantially saying that cither thc iPope must approve thc selections of the French Government or they will be announced officially without thc approbation of the 'Holy Sec. In addition, the Papal Nuncio will be asked to leave Tans, and the clergy will be forbidden to collect Peters' pence in the churches, :but thc concordat will not be denounced. Thc rumor that the Pope had decided tc approve line appointments is incorrect. Thc Vatican hopes to be able to continue the negotiations. 1 THE NOORDLAND ARRIVES.

Victoria, B.C., Jan. 16.���-Application was made at the Coroner's inquiry into the Clallam disaster for warrants for ' thc arrest of Captain Roberts and others' held responsible for the wreck, on charges of manslaughter. Mr. C. H. Lugrrn, representing (he Dominion, Government, said that sufficient evidence had been secured to show criminal negligence, and he would apply to thc Provincial Government, on behalf of the Dominion Government, seeking the arrest of thc captain and any others held to be responsible. Evidence was given this morning by Richard Griffith, one oi the crew of the Clallam, that one oi the seamen took thc ensign from its box and was 'hauling it to half-mast, 'upside down, when Capt. Roberts ordered him to take it down and put it up right side up, as if no ling was the matter. .About that time a steamer, which witness took to be a collier, passed about three miles away. Captain Roberts., saw that he was wrong, and about ten minutes later allowed thc sailor to put up thc flag in a reversed position. Griffiths gave a clear statement of the happenings in connection ' with the disaster. He said1 Captain Roberts was' much excited, and told of a conversation when the boats were being lowered, .when Captain Roberts had told . witness that he (witness) would be drown J. Witness replied that if he was he would not be the only one. Griffiths had no hope that the boats would live -and advised people not to gt> into them. He said no steps we.c taken to; rescue those in the water after the , first ,boat capsized, though they were alongside 'the - steamer. There were.no rockets or blue fires or other- signals on board, so far as he knew. The rudder was known not to be in good condition, and thc steamer would not steer well. Griffiths thought of cutting the'line when the tug Holy- oke was towing, as the steamer was foundering, but not being ordered to do so, and as he had'been told that' the captain -could shoot any one not obeying orders in such a .time,, he did not. He told of clambering over the steamer's side when she turned over at the last minute. Griffiths was the last living man on the boat. When the water^came up on him as he clung on the steamer's side, he climbed up the stays to-the masthead and from there watched all the 'men on the side washed off. He saw the whole starboard side break 'away and expose the ribs and knees. Then the stay carried ,away and he '��� went into the sea. - He was picked up, after floating-on a < pilot house, by thc tug Holyoke. The passengers and crew had all asked thc captain and mate to put them on the Holyoke when the tug first came. ���BIO-FIRE IH CALGARY. o*��~ Another Session of Parliament.

Vienna, Jan. 16.���Thc Allegcmcihc Zcitung says that Duke Philip of Orleans is seeking a divorce, and that he has petitioned thc Curia for a dispensation to enable him to marry thc daughter of a" great Austrian noble. Thc paper asserts that thc Duke consulted the leading members of thc royalist party last summer and - informed them of his- intentions, giving as a reason'that his present union was childless and that he desired to continue the royal line. The Royalists endeavored to dissuade him from taking such action, and pointed out_ to him thu liis d -orce and remarriage would scandalize Catholic circles in France, the 'chief supporters of thc Royalist cause. Jt at first appeared- that thc Duke acquiesced in the wishes of his followers, but he now renews his request to the Curia, urging ihc nullification of his marriage on the ground uiat he was forced into thc union.-.

Meanwhile voluntary subscriptions have begun to reach the treasury in considerable numbers. - The Japanese steamship services between America, Australia, l-hirope and Bombay arerto be suspended inline*, dialcly, freeing twenty-five large steamers, which can be used as transports. . The Japanese press approves of China's neutrality in the event of .war ,' inasmuch as her military, incapacity forbids any other course,. Moreover, thc neutrality of the tar pastern states' and thc colonics in "the event of war would-.embarrass Russia"- greatly, because she would tjk����s be obliged to draw all her supplies 1. from home. London, Jan. 16.���Thc Pckin,,correspondent of The Times says :������,t)��tli Prince Ching and Viceroy Yuan.<hih- jkai have given satisfactory assuraxrecs to the Japanese Minister that in ihc event of war China will maintain strict neutrality. There seems to be tin- ' doubted evidence that thc rapproehc- ment-between China and Japan has been assisted by the disclosure * at . Berlin of Russia's proposal concerning Manchuria, which ' exhibits Russia in the light of a sovereign power dispensing concessions regarding territory which China - still considers as Chinese. Thc orders for arms previously re- . fcrrcd to as being placed in Japan comprise 14,000 of thc newest pattern Japanese rifle, forty-eight field gnnsj and sixteen mountain guns' of thc .latest pattern. London, Jan. 16.���Baron Hayashi said tc a representative of the Associated Press that he had ho indication of the probable attitude of Russia in regard to the latest Japanese note. "It is practically certain," he said, "that any declaration of war will not emanate from Japan." ....'��� The Minister.is not very hopeful of the result of the latest Japanese note, but. he specifically denies that Japan's reply suggests the neutralization 61 a portion of Manchuria as well as o'f .1 portion of Corea.or .that mention was made of the right to break off negotiations " . "Our conditions." said the Ministe'r, . "are practically summed up in tlie concluding portion of the announcement by the State Department of .the United States regarding the Chino-Americau treaty. For these principles to which Secretary Hays says the United States is irrevocably .committed we are willing to go to war unless Russia will consent to give us a definite pledge that ' she, too, adheres to the open door nnd -Chinese sovereignty in Manchuria.1" ' Baron Hayashi, commenting on tile Associated Press despatch from St. Petersburg quoting the peaceful statement made by 'the Czar to members of thc diplomatic corps yesterday at the New Year's reception, said :���"I have read with pleasure the statement attributed to the Czar. If these are his Majesty's views there will be no war. The question rests with him. Japan has .nothing further to say." ��� ., Tire Japanese Government has taken the Nippon Mar 11 and thc Kasuga Marti, two, fast steamers of the Nippon Line, as despatch steamers. Berlin, Jan. 16.���That Russia has applied to Turkey for permission to send her Black Sea fleet through the Dardanelles is confirmed authoritatively here, and it is also asserted that Russia will renew thc application, and press for Turkish consent. Germany's attitude is that she has no concern in the matter. The British Government i< believed here to have identified itself more fully week by week with thc Japanese position, until now Great Sri- tain is almost a* deeply committed as Japan. Thc position in which Great Britain now stands, according to the view L.tkcn of the situation here, has impressed and is imprcssi'ig the Russian statesmen. The deci. ion for wrr or peace now rests with the Czar's .ad- v. visers, and symptoms are visible here ���that thc decision will, be peace, by, ���largely ^ admitting . Japan's demands.

V ��� ooeeeoooeeoosoeooo ao aoao\> ��� < I am come that they might have life, Mid that th y might havo it more abundantly.���John, x., 10. No word is so expressive as "life." But life -has a very kaleidoscopic range of significance. To some it has a narrow meaning-, to others a large one, fflhe life of the savage is dull and re- (facicted as compared with the life of tlie civilized man, with its expanded and brigjhtened aspects.' ��� To the universal human yearning for a d.ecper, larger life Christianity offers a Unique response. To the,cry of the ���ouf for life it answers. "Life 1" St. 'JolSu tells us :���','In Him was life, and ��� tttat life was thc light of men." And this feature 'differentiates it from all Other religions. Why did thc Egyptians embalm their dead? In a vain attempt to,defeat thc inevitable corrosion of time. Yet **at a mockery of existence these ���epulehrcd, mummified forms I- The _ pious Hindoo indulge* as liis highest future hope the absorption at death fcito the nirvana of an" impersonal, dreamless sleep. And the noble spirits ���f the Greeks and Romans, waiuW- mg* disembodied by. the Styx,-sighing < lor the earthly state they had lost, had ���ut a fleeting -shadow of life. How refreshing, then, like a rcnew- ��� tag breath over the dry bones of the world of death, these great words c-f the Son-of Man :���."I am come that they might have "life, and that they ��� Si8**. llave il more abundantly." ��� ii!?1 -s' .reIlS>on is a message, of life. Sims �� its prime feature, its supreme , purpose. It fulfils this mission in two .ways :��� First, by awakening title spiritual life. >lne life of man is threefold���animal,- Intellectual, spiritual. The spiritual u that in which exists the divine image. It is far the noblest fcrm of life. It w the life of fellowship with God, of discernment of the spiritual and eternal," of heavenly aims and aspirations, licet this uppermost round of life is just that into wHich men and women ��� ao not enter until awakened and lifted up to it by religion. And so marvellous is the change of experience it ���rings that it can only be denoted by "a ���ew birth," a being "born again," an ��� ��� ���petung of the soul's vision to a higher realm of being. And the second way in .which religion is a message of life is by its revelations cf immortality. This' "new. creature" is superior to death. - The Wtal principle, inbreathed by title Spirit ���f God, can never die. Through the shock of death it shall be preserved, and when time shall be no more, and . when at the archangel's trump creation sHall be uncreated,.undimmed will it shine on in the firmament of eter- tuty. We see here, then, the great mistake cf many conceptions about religion. One of tlie most current of these is that it fetters, narrows, circumscribes lafe.- People shrink back,from religion, fearing that it will largelyi make then- part with life, take its vim, its range, its felicity from it; whtarcas precisely the reverse is true. Christ proclaimed no fettered, gloomy, ascetic Gospel. But His message was one of gcod tidings, of freedom, of uplifting. He not only-called to'Jife, but to larger ��fe, to higher life, to more ��� exalted raptures. Religion denies no rightful Jleasure, it restricts no natural faculty. t does net preach abstinence, but temperance.' It only adds to thc animal ' and intellectual sense of being the spiritual, the crown and flower of life. A notable illustration of this Morley gives in-His "Life of Gladstone." "His ., religious faith inspired him to high thcught and noble action and gave new ���trcngth and beauty to his fine nature. (There was in the greatest English scientists of the last century something lacking, that left fhlem with a touch of meanness, narrowness and hardness and kept them to a lower range of manhood than that of Gladstone." ' Religion, then, is a message of life, and cf larger life. Those who hold back from it are only debarring themselves from the noblest actions, thc finest experiences and the rarest joys. 'At tide death of such a person," no matter what n--y have been his wealth and mental culture, we may truly ,- say. :��� "He has never lived ; he has never beheld thc true secret of life." V Religion but expands thc nature of man, broadens the diameter and enlarge^.the horizon of life. It quickens tlta spiritual, it gives true freedom, it, fosters love and good-will, it intensifies joy, and over the mound of death it rears the rainbow of an immortal hope/ ...,.: We only then sound the vast range of life and taste the rarest essence of 'being when we develop and' give scope to our religious nature. This is that message of a larger, fuller, more bliss On the face of it, the answer fa obvi- ��ua. A woman likes any kind of man better than "no man at all. But -what sort of man do tlie majority of women like best? Good womenjippcar to'favo-i bad men, perhaps because opposes attract, and also because they frequently appear to entertain a foolish delusion that they might ��� be able to reform ' them.

This axiomatic saying seems, at first, o/bsurd- ly simple. iBut the Delphic utterance, with epigrammatic -brevity and c��jn-pre- hensiveness, reveals,' upon examination,, ��" tremendous truth. Woman, likes fl man who i9 anything rather than a duplicate of herself. He must be manly, not ememhmte; strong where she is weak- bold where she is timid; dauntless, out- epoken and passionate where she is hesitating, fearful,and reserved. He must be a man- who can act well l>U part in the outside world, for, strange to say, woman raTely likes or appreciates the domesticated, man,, who, they say, is "like a woman about tho' house," and who can wash and dress the children, or put them to bed, or cook the dinner with equal facility. Most women ���eem actually "to prefer that a man should be'positively helpless when within the walls of his own home, but probably this is because they wish him to realize fcia utter dependence upon them, nnd his incapacity 'to grapple with domestic ���rohdema of any and every .kind during their absence. - It is the modern human- fashion, to consider that women are -not Tided by pulsion.

A Thrilling: Moment Tho deaifch of the famous Spanish.' toreador, Reverte, recalls to the London "Globe" one of tlio most thrUling incidents ever witnessed in Hie arena. It was at Bayonne. After disposing of two hulls, Reverte had 'twice plunged hia sword into a third, of great strength aid ferocity, and as the beast continued careering wildly, tlio spectators began to hiss Reverte for bungling. Wounded to tlio very quick of liis pride, thc Spaniard shouted, 'The bull is slain!" and, throwing u-side liis sword, sank on ono knee with folded arms in the middle of tha ring.

Yet the fact remains that she who last year was pale is this year rosy. One day her hostess went into tho room where.the Southern girl was making her toilet and found her rubbing a green leaf on her cheeks. Of "course, then explanations were la order. The green leaf, it seems, was just oommon burdook. ' The burdock' haa a fuzzy surface, which, rubbed -on the skin, brings tha blood to the surface most effectively. After it is applied,'the more the cheeks are bathed the redder they become. Here's a rouge worth while. Of coursa tho "feel" of the burdock ia not the most agreeable thing in the world, out ita effeots make up for its disagreeable qualities. The Southern girl was having fresh leaves sent to her every day, in the letters from home, and that is the way she managed to keep up her healthful glow. When her nefarious practice was thus finally discovered, she explained that the recipe for making and retaining rosy \ cheeks waa an old one in her family, and had been handed down to her by her grandmother, who, in her turn in her young days, had used, it, hut that she f was not unwilling to share the secret Household Hints. ��� Borax and .water is a good warti' for the hair.

Damp salt will rub off thc oiscolorations left in cups by thc sediment of tea and coffee. Salt will set the dyes of black and colored articles, if a little be added to the water in which tiiese are washed. Salt, mixed with lemon juice, removes the stains of oak, tar or paint from the hands. Salt and water, applied to basket and straw work, and rubbed in with a soft nail brush, is a most effective cleansing agent. , Brass ornaments may be kept bright by rubbing them occasionally with salt and vinegar.

In.no household should the precaution of airing the bed linen before taking it into use be omitted, and it will make the bed more healthy and more comfortable if an in- dia rubber hot-water bottle, or a stone bottle cased in flannel, be put in just before bedtime.'

Leave it there for about five minutes," and if it is then taken out with* a cloud or mist upon its surface i it r's a sure sign that the linen is not thoroughly dry. In such,a case do not attempt to'sleep between it; for damp bed ��� linen is ��� a fruitful source of rheumatism and lung affection.
