Dr. MacKay Tells of Oppression and Cruelty���Calls Japanese Barbarians. Toronto, Aug. 7.���"It is atrocious oppression." Such are the words that are used In reference to the treatment of tlie Koreans by the Japanese In a letter received by Mr. Hamilton Cassels, K. C, from Rev. Dr. K. P. MacKay, of Toronto, general secretary of the foreign missions for the Presbyterian church. Dr. MacKay Is ou a tour of Inspection of the various foreign missions of the Presbyterian chinch In the East, and is at present In Manchuria. He expresses the nn-.-. intense Indignation at the treatment accorded the Koreans by the Japanese, and states that it Is scarcely less atrocious than the horrors of the Congo. A portion of Dr. MacKay's letter describes the present attitude of the Japanese to the Koreans as follows: 'It Is oppression���atrocious oppression. 1 was a Japanese enthusiast until I came here, but I have changed in spite of myself. They have spent tens of thousands In writing themselves up and winning the confidence of Europe and Americu, und thus securing moral support and funds. Yet in reality they are barbarians. Their treatment of the Koreans Is scarcely Iobs atrocious than the horrors uf the Congo. ��� It would be Incredible If I did not see It before my eyes and hear it from every missionary on the ground. "Mr. Hulbert. who has written on Korea, and has given his life to them, is now in Europe trying to get a hearing for the Koreans at The Hague. I see in the Montreal Witness a paragraph from Toklo deserlhing Mr. Hulbert as an agitator and American adventurer who is trying to make himself notorious. That is the kind of a thing that. Japan has reduced to a system. I have not yet met one foreigner who Is not intensely indignant at the cruelty and injustice of Japan in this land. "I am told by one of the oldest missionaries in Korea today that there is not a case on record in which a Korean got justice against a Japanese, however great the offence. And this Is done, made possible it Is believed, because of Hritlsh alliance. An old courteous Korean gentleman called on me the other day and asked whether this was Western civilization. He knew Hrltain's Influence ts in this, although too courteous to say so. I never before blushed for my country. "But you will think me excited. No, I am greatly disappointed, and ruminating how far it may be In my power to enlighten America as to the real conditions. Japan's loans and successes have been so far aided by Wester nsym- pathy that probably nothing else will be so effective as exposure In compelling decency In administration. Somebody has summed up the Japanese In two words���conceit nnd deceit. I am afraid it is correct." Sensational Suicide. Antwerp, Aug. 7���A sensational suicide has occurred here; Mr. Jaques Simon, a silk merchant, in the presence of a crowd that thronged the cathedral square, jumped from the second gallery of tho cathedral tower, a distance of more than 200 feet.

Lodz, Russian Poland, Aug 7.���This city Is again the scene of a strike move* ment, accompanied by violence, disorder and death. The troops have encountered strikers In the centre of the town, and some thirty men have been killed or wounded In this light alone. Business is at a standstill, and fears are entertained of what the day may- bring forth. The trouble came to head yesterday, and In spite of the aggressive stand taken by the authorities the disorders are recommencing early this illuming. It would -appear to be the beginning of a big labor war, and the workmen's unions are prepared for a long struggle. The immediate cause of the outbreak yesterday was the course pursued by the police during the past eight days in making many arrests in attempts to break up the unions. The principal Socialist leaders have been thrown Into jail. The police have been so energetic In their measures against the unions that they have united the Social-Democrat, the Polish Socialist and the Nationalist parties, which have been waging a merciless war, accompanied by daily murders and outrages among themselves. A general strike has been declared, and the Social Democrats and the Polish Socialists have called out 32,000 men. The Nationalists have been forced to join the committee of the amalgamated unions. The committee has ordered that all business here cease. Stores have been told to close, and the power-house of the electric traction system has been shut down. The committee is enforcing Its orders with armed men, and several shopkeepers who failed to shut up have been shot. Yesterday bands of laborers went out in the city to wreck street cars. This they did in several cases, and latter they used the cars as barricades from which lo stone the police. During the calh =: out of the strikers one factory foren.an and two shopkeepers were killed und two laborers fatally wounded. The disorders grew ns the day wore on. In the afternoon the military forces were mobilised, but there was no engagement with the workman until last night. The fighting was serious and prolonged. The workmen fired several hundred shots from automatic pistols and did not disperse until they had been charged by cavalry. At least thirty men were killed and wounded. Ambulances at once cleared the streets of the dead bodies. This morning the troops started tho electric cars again, but the passengers on board were attacked by gangs of workmen and a number of them were wounded. The strikers today are beginning to attempt to force a cessation of work. Up to the present time they have not been successful. Dog Days' Dangers. St. Paul. Aug. G.���The first mad dog scare of the dog days developed yesterday afternoon when a rabid half-grown St. Bernard dog ran amuck near Sixth Street, terrorizing the citizens and creating several panics until the animal waa shot by Dr. R. L. Price. The dog started on Its mad run about four o'clock and after attacking a number of dogs chased several children who managed to elude It.

The animal discovered the surgeon however, and made straight for him, whereupon Dr. Price fired killing the dog Instantly. An examination of the dog showed rabies to have been advanced. The lower jaw was already paralyzed which would have prevented the animal from biting. A scratch however, intlicted by Its teeth would have been sufilclcnt to Infect, STRANGE REMEDY Cancer Cured by Bite of Rattle Snake VICE-ROYALTY AT HALIFAX.

Ottawa, Aug. 7.���Joseph and Jack Fidter, the chief and medicine man of the Sandy Lake Crees, are under arrest at Norway House on the charge of murdering a squaw. The woman, who is of the same name and blood as the two prisoners, fell sick in the spring and became delirious. The Indians of this district believe that when a sick person becomes delirious a spirit or "Wendlgo" has entered them, and that if the person dies naturally the Wendigo escapes to the woods, pursues and frightens away the game, and famine follows. Therefore the hand assembled, and, according to the custom, appointed their chief and medicine man to -the high honor of choking the sick squaw, that the spirit might not escape with the passing of breath, but might remain imprisoned in the dead body. In the presence of the band the chief and the medicine man carried out the instructions. A piece of canvas was placed about the squaw's neck and then the noose of a rope. This being tightened by the two leaders of the -band, the ravings of the woman were stopped, the evil spirit was imprisoned and the game preserved. This piece of barbarism was executed within 200 miles of Kenora. Word of it reached the authorities and the arrests followed. The Fidlers asked the officials not to be too severe with them, as they had no Idea that they were doing wrong. They were merely doing their duty by the band and following the custom of their fathers. The execution of this duty was a high honor, and, according to custom, the executioners were hand somely fed by the parents of the victim. The juBtice department is to decide whether It will be better to send a judge to Norway House to try the case or bring the prisoners and witnesses to Edmonton for trial. Gait's Semi-centennial. Gait.

Among all Ihe changes in the kaleidoscope of Canadian politics during the last twenty years none other is so remarkable as that uf the way in which party policies are formulated. The theory of party government is of course that two associations representing two opposite sets of ideals and of policies shall compete lor the approval of the general electorate. The tille to leader* Bhip in either party Ib the presentation of a series of principles for national action which commend themselves to the majority of the party. When a leadei 1 ideaa fail to win such approval he ceases naturally and without discredit to be the accepted leader of the party, and his successor is the man who standi forth as the exponent of the most acceptable views. Such was the practice that prevailed In Canada from its first political organization until after the death of Sir .lorn Macdonald. It is iwssible to conceive of the great chieftain, or of his earlier opponents, calling general meetings of their parties to perfect organization for a campaign, but never to formulate B policy. That either followed naturally from the principles held and professed by the party, or was set forth by the leader and accepted hy his followers. A leader who called representatives of his party together to tell him what to advocate would thereby logically declare his unfitness for leadership and abdicate his only title. Logically it is the leaders that create and declare the policies and then the rank und file of the ejectors of the nation chooBO whom they would follow. That is still the British practice. There is only one deviation from it in British political history and that d*-via tlon Is more apparent than real. Ther*- wbb a convention at Newcastle in preparation for the elections of 1892, at which the leaders of the variegated groups that composed the Hritlsh Liberal party agreed upon a plan of campaign and a compromise programme of legislation which, in the event of their success, all the component elements were prepared to support. That course was partly necessitated by the very existence within the party of groups with different aspirations or which at least emphasized different views, and partly it was intended as an advertisement to the nation that the party which Mr. Gladstone had led to ruin in 18S6, was reorganized and again capable of offering an orderly administration as an alternative to the Conservative party's. The experiment has never been repeated although after the disasters of 1S.��5 and lidHjo there was at least aa good reason for such a course as on the eve of the campaign of 1SU2. Hut Canadian Liberals followed that example without any similar appearance of justification. But, as explanation not justification, it may he said that it was a necessity forced upon them by their previous choice of a leader. When Kdward Blake laid down the banner In 1888, the choice or Wilfrid Laurier as his successor waa not dictated by any conviction that he was the next best exponent of the principles which Canadian Liberals had consistently advocated for half a century. To the majority outside of Quebec he waa simply a popular colleague who had been a loyal follower of two successive leaders whose wisdom he had never, openly at leant, questioned, and his eloquence and his personal charm were expected to gain some strength for the party In his own province. That was the whole secret of the choice. Alexander McKenzfu was still alive and still in parliament; Richard Cartwright and David Mills were tried and known. Hut they failed: Laurler might succeed. What he would advocate, if anything different Trom Wake, none of his followers knew or cared. He was a last resort. All the real leadera had failed. He could, at the worst, do no more than fall. The campaign of 1891 was hopeless of course. While Sir John Macdonald lived Canada could not be expected to dismiss him for any other. But the death of the old premier within three months of his crowning victory revived the hopes of the Liberals. The next few years further weakened their opponents. Then with suc cess a tea] .possibility it way necessary to answer simulation as' to what Liberals would do if entrusted with power. Who was to answer, to state the principles and policy ol" the party? Wilfrid Laurler? Not he. lie had neither policy nor political principles to declare. So a party convention was held at Ottawa in I8H4, not to devise a plan or campaign uud perfect organisation, but actually tu decide what to advocate. The Canadian Liberal party which had fought for, an.l won, responsible government) representation by population and provincial rights, under the leadership of Baldwin, llrown, Blake, McKensle and Mowat, actually didn't know what it stood for under Laurier. For sixteen years its leaders had been singing " .. to one clear harp In divers tones." They had steadily opposed the tariff feature of the National Policy, hut the bewildering succession of Free Trade, Lower Tariff, Commercial Union, Unrestricted Reciprocity and Tariff for Revenue Only, had demonstrated to themselves and to the country that it was opposition for its own sake only. So a convention was held to tinker a policy. Hy way of concession to real Liberalism, a few respectable survivals like provincial rights and equal rights for all religious denominations, were given a place. Civil service reform, always a good cry and sufficiently noncommittal, was added. So far as known Wilfrid Laurier's only contributions to the platform of 18134 were the assurance ���the utterly gratuious assurance���that he could get from the United States tariff concessions which had been repeatedly refused to Sir John Macdonald, and the phrase, "Free Trade as They Have It in England." As a matter of fact, they haven't free trade in Kngland, they have only free imports and that not altogether. That is the history of the "leadership" of Wilfrid Laurier to the date of his accession to power. Since then it is true that he has originated some more phrases, some happy, more unhappy. But the political history of the teu years will be searched In vain for a single progressive idea that has originated with him until within the last few months. Now, indeed, he has produced one doctrine all his own, and one entirely new to Canadian political thought��� that it is inconsistent with Canada's constitution us a self-governing nation to admit any share of responsibility for defence of the Kmpire under whose un- bought and unpaid for protection a line of poor and thinly settled colonial settlements has grown into the wealthy Dominion of Canada. That is Wilfrid Laurier's flrst and last contribution in thirty years of public life to the political doctrine of Canada, and that is the one foundation on which he may hope to build any title to be called a national leader. Unconfirmed Rumor. (Special to The Daily Canadian.) Grand Forks, August 7.���An unconfirmed runiorhas reached here today to the effect that the C. P. R was making a deal to purchase the Midway and Ver. non system west of Midway. It Is stated that a deal of this kind would be very agreable to the promoters of the Midway and Vernon a.s well as the residents of the Boundary District generally. By taking over the Midway and Vernon system the C. P. R. would have a much shorter route to the Coast than their main line. SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING.

Winnipeg, Aus. 7.���An extraordinary Htory waH told yesterday which sheds quite a new light upon the exodus of tho DotikhobcrH from Swan Kivor settlement, and Ihelr pilgrimage to the "Promised Land." where fruit grows wild and the necessity to till the soil no longer exiHts. According to this gentleman, the travellers are Just the dupes of a designing Russian Jew, who Is acting as their leader, and who latter hopes to turn them and their troubles to good account. The gentleman, who Imparted the Information met the band on Bird's hill road Tuesday, as they were making tracks for Selkirk. He Is a fluent speaker of the language of the Doukho- bors, and has an intimate acquaintance with the deluded people. When he saw tho leader, he at once challenged him. "You are not a Ltoukhobor." At first the man insisted that he was, but afterwards admitted he was a Russian Jew. He was in New York for a period of nine years, and kept a store in that city. Krom some cans.1, which he refused to divulge, he "broke," and found it necessary to cross the border. No doubt this course prevented complications, which might have been inconvenient to him. Of his wanderings in Canada nothing is known, but three years ago he found himself at Yorkton, Sask., where the Doukhobor settlement was situated. And working upon the credulity of the simple-minded people, persuaded them that he had been converted to their tenets. Bit by bit he wheedled himself into their confidence, and when the exodus began, probably seeing money in the venture, persuaded them to accept him as their leader. It may, however, have been that he was personally responsible for their dissatisfaction and that he persuaded them that such a land Take notice that John Ross, of Fernle.
