London, May 22.���At a meeting of the Colonial Conference at which preferential trade was under discussion, Mr. Deakln, the prime minister of the Australian commonwealth, pointed out that the question of preferential trade had been raiBed in the first conference ln 1S87, and that a proposal had then been made by Mr. Hofmeyr, for creating a defence fund by placing a duly ot about 2 per cent on all foreign imports Into the Empire, quoting words used by Sir Samuel Griffith, who maintained that buying In the cheapest market Is not the greatest consideration in tbe world; tbat. after all.-Ussit or any other system of fiscal policy can only be adopted as a means to an end, the end being the prosperity of the country to which we belong. An appeal to the electors of Australia bad been issued in June, 1906, against taxes on food, their present system being spoken of as involving taxation of food, whereas he preferred to use -the phrase "duty" and not a "tax." The appeal had been rejected by a majority of three to one in the recent elections. Their tariff was the result of mixed motives. They desired to raise revenue, to give stimulus to local production, and in other cases by their duties actually to foeler produclion. Where a duty ls a tax, he raised the questions as to who pays the tax. All trade being based on mutual profit, he argued that there should be a trade ln preferences, which should be for the benefit of all parties concerned. Just as thc colonies studied their own interests, so he expected that those representing the mother country would study the interests of their own people. Thc result of granting preference would, he believed, be lo build up the dominions beyond the sea. These were the best cUBtomers of the mother country, nnd would always be part of the same empire and claim to be regarded from that point of view. There was the political motive to be kept In mind. How far was it possible for the several units of the political whole to assist each other? An advantage only slightly profitable to the Individual might be an enhanced advantage lo the group of units. He dwelt upon the Importance of keeping the Empire together by resorting to every opportunity which could assist Its -consolidation, and urged that greater co-opera- Hon was a necessity of the Empire's continued existence. He quoted the figures of J. H. Schooling, which made It clear that the totsl Imports from foreign countries Into the Inrgo colonial and Indian markets showed Increasingly a higher percentage than British Imports during the last 60 years. Taking the case of Australia during the last 20 years the Imports from foreign countries compered with British Imports had increased from 28 per cent, ln 1881-5 to 87 per cent. In 1901-6. This result did not arlBo fro many serious diminution of Australian Industries, but was contemporaneous with n substantial Increase In tho combined trade. Great Britain had loBt a large share of trade In manufactured goods, the loss being partly due to the conservatlveness of English methods, but not lo English products being too dear, There had been "dumping" ln Australia on tho part of foreign countries; the case of agricultural implements sent In from tho United States was Instttncod. Protectlvo menBtires had been taken. An extension of the export trade of Australia waB absolutely necessary to enable them to bring a larger urea under cultivation, with lncrensed population, and to open up markets for Its produce. Without preference, he doubted If Australia could maintain Its position in British markets. It might be expectod that with a preference on wheat their exports might be increased fourfold, and that by the holp of Its Increased export of butter nn additional population of 40,000 might be employed, London, Mny 22.���When Premier Laurier nnd the Canadian delegates to the Imperial Conference came to l,ondon they hnd already mado np their minds that It was useless to urge the Liberal government to change Its fiscal system to enable Great Britain to grant preference to the colonies, as Premier Campbell-Bannerman and his followers had Insisted that the British voters at the last election had declared against any such alteration. The Canadians therefore decided to Blroply declare their adhesion to the previous conference and submit to the conference a proposal for an all-BrltlBh route from England to Australia by way of Canada, which they believed would give lhe colonies the advantage in the British market for which they had asked and enabling the British manufacturers to compete with foreigners in the colonies without a reversal ot the policy of free trade. "The scheme presents many difficulties, It Is true," said one of the Canadians, "but with the support from England and the three colonies Interested it should be possible' to carry It out. If the Canadian lines only had the subsidy given by Great Britain for the New York service they could successfully compete with these lines running to the United States. While neither Sir Wilfrid Laurier nor any of his colleagues would say what Canada was willing to pay, lt was learned from other sources lhat the Canadian premier has suggested that the annual Canadian contribution for a 20-knot Atlantic service and faster trains acroaa the continent be fl, 000,000. Sir Joseph Ward, premier of New Zealand, has placed his colony's share of- the subsidy at f500,000, but Alfred Deakln, the Australian premier, has not committed himself. With a strong element ln the Liberal party opposed to subsidies of sny kind, lt is considered doubtful whether the all-British scheme will be carried out, despite the saving of time which lt would make. It is possible, however, that Canada may, by using the Cunard subsidy as an example, Induce the British government to assist In Improving the Atlantic service to Canada. London, May 22.���The Dally News, referring to tlie part taken by Premier Deakln, Dr. Jameson and Sir William Lyne ln "Our Domestic Controversies," saya: "Sir Wilfrid Laurier has behaved with the tact, propriety and dignity expected of htm." "Vulgar, offensive twaddle," ls the way Robert Vernon Harcourt describes- the humorous article ot Leacock ln the Morning Post on the decreptit John Bull and his lusty grown up -sons. The Morning Post editorially says: "Lea- cock will achieve bis purpose far better to continuing to address his audiences In a fresh, Invigorating style, self- confident, like young Canada rather than If he endeavoresl to force his ideas Into a mould of old world conventionality." Sir W. Lyne says that Premier Laurler is willing Canada should subscribe ��20,000 for the London, Halifax, Vancouver and Sidney service. Commenting on the Jameston resolution at the conference re the establishment of a supreme court of appeal, the Yorkshire Post says: "Let us by all means reform ln any way that seems desirable machinery by which the crown exercises the right of doing justice to any subject of His Majesty who may wish lo make a final appeal, but parliament and colonial legislatures should hesitate long before they weaken this golden link of common citizenship." The correspondent of the Birmingham Dully Post credits Laurler with saying: "More was uot to be expected at the present time, and too little Importance has heen attached to the creation of a secretary." The correspondent says that judging from conversation with friends, Sir Wilfrid Ib well satisfied with the results achieved. AGITATORS IMPRISONED Hindu Conspirators Deny Exlttence of Plague and Charge Whole- stale Poisoning. Lahore, British Indln, May 22.���A Hindu revolutionist who aroused the fanatics of the Punjab Into a state ot great excitement by circulating .the Btatement that the alleged plague did not exist and the 1,000,000 deaths attributed to it were really caused by the poisoning of drinking water by emls- sares of the government was today sentenced to two years' rigorous imprisonment: an accomplice who dropped harmless balls Into the wells, alleging that he did so by order of the government, was condemned to 18 months' Imprisonment.

FRANCETDANGER Asiatic Colonies Saved by Treaty JAPAN READY TO SEIZE British Influence Prevented Invasion oi To"gking at Time of Fashoda Incident. Paris, May 22.���ln order to understand the importance of the agreement which France, according to official Information, Is concluding with Japan for the maintenance of the status quo in the far east, lt Is necessary to recall an Incident which ia not generally kuown and which occurred about ten years ago. It will show the extent to which the Impending entente will relieve the French of uneasinesB with regard to their colonies in the Orient. At the time ot the Fashoda Imbroglio between Great Britain and France, at the moment when the crisis was most acute and when the question of peace or war was trembling In the balance, every officer In the general staff at Toklo was summoned to his post, ready to respond to the orders momentarily expected for the Immediate mobilisation and embarkation of a couple of army corps for the Invasion of France's possessions to the south of China. There was no such thing as an alliance in those days between England and Japan���not even an understanding. But the Japanese had already then, by means of tbelr marvellous Intelligence department, taken the measure of the efficacy of the support which the czar would have been able to give to France In the far east; and lt was considered at Toklo that the outbreak of a war between England and France would afford a particularly favorable opportunity for Japan, not merely to settle old scores with France, but likewise to secure a magnificent foothold on the mainland and to establish her prestige as one of the great military and naval powers of the world. Sir Edmund Munson, one ot the most tactful and -brilliant servants that England has ever had ln her diplomatic service, found means ot Inducing France to comply with the demands of his government and withdraw from Fashoda without delivering the ultimatum that he carried with him to the Qua! d'Orsay. and wMch he had been directed to present, and thus a Franco-English war, which would have been calamitous trom a political, and still more from an economic point of view, was narrowly avert, ed. In consequence thereof, the order for the mobilisation at Toklo was not given. But before the end of the year there wns not a foreign legation at Toklo and Pekin, and only a few governments ln Europe, which had not become aware of what had been Japan's Intentions with regard to France's dependencies in the far east. France for many years past has been ln constant fear of an invasion of her possessions tn Tongking and ln Indochina by the Japanese. The relations between Toklo and Paris have been strained repeatedly In the laat two decades, sometimes almost to the breaking point, and the alliance of France with Russia was desired quite aB much against Japan as against Oermany. Until the recent war In Manchuria, France depended on the naval and military power of KusBia in furthermost Asia to help her defend her colonial possessions from any Japanese invasion, an Invasion which would have coincided with a fully organized recrudesconce of the so-called black flag Insurrection In all the border provinces. It was ln pursuance of this policy that Franco In the early stnges of the war between Japan and Hussln furnished such an smount of assistance to the latter, not merely moral, but also material, especially In connection with the Odyssey of the Baltic fleet to the China seas, as to strain the obligations of neutrality to their utmost limit. It was not until her eyes were opened by the crushing defeats sustained by tho Russians on land and on water at tho hnnds of tho Jnpnnese that France realised the preclso value of Muscovite support and the full extont of her own danger. And lf Mr. Dulcnsse waa virtually ousted from Iho office of minister of foreign affairs hy Premier Itouvier le was With the object ot appeasing not merely the German kaiser ln the Morocco controversy, but also the Japanese who, intensely exasperated by France's defiance of the requirements of international law, were clamoring for the execution of the long projected descent upon Tongking. So grave did the danger of a Japanese Invasion or Tongking appear to the French government Immediately after Admiral Togo's great victory that steps were taken to send strong naval and military reinforcements to Indo-Cbina. Before, however, these reinforcements could be dispatched, the French government received from London a confidential communication of the terms of the new treaty between England and Japan, concluded Just then, and which altered the situation. True, the main feature of the treaty is that lt commits England to the da- fence of Japan ln the event of attack, and Japan to the defence of England, should any ot her Asiatic possessions be threatened by a third power.-- But these obligations, thus established, carry with them the distinct understanding, even If not actually proclaimed ln so many words, that neither of the two contracting parties should embark upon a war with a third nation without the consent of its ally. It means, therefore, that Japan, while her treaty of alliance with Great Britain lasts, is virtually debarred from executing, without the consent of England, the designs which she formally entertained with regard to the Dutch East Indies, or the projects ascribed to her with regard to the conquest of the Philllpine islands.

St. Petersburg, May 22.���The continued absence trom the Lower House of Parliament of the four Radical groups during the formal announcement of the discovery of the plot against the life of Emperor Nicholas and the frank refusal to congratulate the Emperor on his escape has made a deep Impression In court and government circles. The Rossiya returns to the charge today tn three editorials today characterising the action of the Radtcala aa being open revolutionary and ln strict harmony with the Social Democratic congress ln London, "thereby giving the lie to denials ot the Social Democrats that they are planning a general strike and an armed uprising for the coming summer," The Rossiya singles out for special censure the absent priests.

Fifty-flve deputies bave addressed an open letter to President Golovin calling the attention of the Russian people to the Radical "great act of disloyalty to them, tn thus absenting themselves from the house." The police have made further arrests at Tsarsko Seloe ln connection with the conspiracy against the Emperor and have found among the correspondence seized, letters from the American anarchists and Russian deserters In the United States.

IRISH BILL DEAD DM'$ Failure Subject LIBERALS 0EPRESSE1 Brilliant Chief .Secretary Father of Two Abortive Mcatarti��� Opa Breach Feared. London, May 22.���It is the opinion ot all the London morning papers that Mr. Blrrell's Irish bill already is dead, and the government organs bitterly lament seeing the two Important government measures, the Education B1U and the Irish Council Bill, miscarrying In Us hands. The rejection of the measure by the Nationalist convention in Dublin solves for the government a difficulty that was beginning to oppress the ministers, namely, how to deal with the overloaded programme for this session ot parliament, but nevertheless there Is keen disappointment felt at the discredit thus thrown upon the government, especially aa John E. Redmond, the Nationalist leader, himself moved the rejection ot the bill, and as the Uberal papers remark: "Thus closing the door upon any future half-way measure to Home Rule" It la believed that Premier Campbell- Bannerman will withdraw the Mil and substitute measures dealing with evicting tenants and the Irish University question, but nothing is likely to be settled until the cabinet meets and -discusses the situation. The resolution offered by John Redmond at the Irish National convention In Dublin yesterday and unanimously adopted by the 300 Nationalists present, was ss follows: "We declare that lt Is utterly inadequate in Its scope and unsatisfactory in Its details, and should be rejected by the Irish nation, and we regard the production of auch a measure by the British government, pledged to Home Roto, as a confirmation of the position we have always taken that any attempt to settle the Irish problem by half measures would be entirely unsuccessful; and we call upon the Irish party to oppose the bill ln tbe House of Commons and to press upon the government with all thetr strength and power to Introduce a measure for the establishment of a national parliament, with a responsible executive, having power over all purely Irish affairs; and at this .crisis in the fortunes of Ireland we Invite all the Nationalist forces of the country to unite In support ot our representatives in parliament and enable them to effectively press tor the speedy and genuine settlement of the Irish question." GULF STREAM ON SPREE. Scotch Sea Captain Discovers Causa of Abnormal Weather. New Yorw, May 22.���Captain L. Lum- dams ot the Anchor liner Astoria, from Glasgow, has found a reason for the cold weather. He aays the Gulf Stream, whioh ordinarily haa a range between 66 and 56 degress north latitude, ls away to the north, and he found for the Atlantic a high baromoter with a southerly wind, which ls unusual. "I don't say that the Gult Stream is out of its margin," aald the captain, "but lt ls to the northward of Its normal course. This accounts for our winter weather home In Scotland where we have been having storms every other day; we don't have the season we used to have." When the Astoria was about 1,000 miles east of Sandy Hook on Saturday she passed a field of 20 Icebergs. Killed In Firs. Rochester, N. Y., May 22���A. L.

SAVINGS DEPARTMENT Deposits r-_*c*?ived and interest allowed at highest onrrent rate from date of opening of w-^oont, and compounded qnartarly. ably beyond question, but it would be absurd to expect at present any enthusiasm among the Boers for closer relations ft ith the rest of the Empire. Sir Wilfrid laurier personally is not in much different case. He represents an alien nationality within the Empire. The French Canadians are loyal to British connection for the privileges it involves. They are also, the more enlightened among them at least, enthusiastic Canadians. Bnt they are not in any sense Imperialists. They cling to the fullest degree of autonomy for Canada, and in Canada to the same degree of autonomy for Quebec. It is that point of view and none other that was represented at the conference by Sir Wilfrid Laurier. He spoke not for Canada but only for Quebec. Possibly in his ten years of power he has come to the conclusion that Quebec is Canada, and that the rest may be safely ignored, The fact now confronting Canadians is that to the people of the Motherland and of our sister colonies the official voice of Canada has seemed to be the voice of an alien race, Canada speaks still as a French colony within the Empire, and the aspirations of Hritish Canadians have found no voice in the council of the Empire. The responsibility rests with the English speaking Liberals. The remedy is in their hands. Having sacrificed everything else will they now sacrifice all that as Britons they should hold dear, for the sake of place and power? \BLSON RMAIN'CH J�� M. LAY, Manager.

MAY 23. 1907. FINAL SETTLEMENT. The patience and persistence of Mayor Gillett have triumphed again and a final and permanent agreement has been conceded between the city and the West Kootenay Power and Light company. The attainment of peace and harmony, with the jmsslbility of co-operation, when necessary, with thc big industrial corporation which is Nelson's nearest neighbor, would be worth a considerable financial sacrifice, but fortunately none had to he made. The long and foolish struggle between the city and the company, for which the city is not by any means blameless, has cost hoth sides many thousands of dollars, and has profited no one except, incidentally, the counsel employed by each. The conclusion of the agreement will make possible at once Improvements and economies at both plants. It will probahly open the way for a far belter service to manufacturers in the vicinity of the city, whose wants nre greater than the city can at present supply. Co-operation between city and company will permit of thorough and efficient control of all the water power available on Kootenay river at the upper Bonnington Falls, to the advantage" of both. Nelson wishes no harm or loss to Rossland, but If the end of bickering:-: should mean the transfer from Itossland to Nelson of the headquarters of the West Kootenay Power and Light company, the step would be heartily welcomed . It would be an advantage to the city to have so important an addition to its list of industrial enterprises, and an advantage to the management of the company to be located less than a fourth of its present distance from the scene of its operations. To Nelson the end of the fight means more than all this. It means the disappearance forever from the sphere of municipal politics of a meaningless, foolish and mischievous campaign cry, which has been for nearly seven years a source of division and weakness where there should have been unity and strength. There is no profit now in assigning the blame to the proper quarters, and poetical justice will take care of itself. The right attitude for us now is to let bygones be bygones, and to work all together for progress aud prosperity for tho city, remembering past divisions only as a warning and a guide for conduct in the future. VIEWS OF SISTER COLONIES. The Conservative papers of Canada have been rebuked and denounced by Liberals for stating, what is the obvious judgment of all British newspapers, tbat the recent conference of premiers in London was a miserable failure, viewed in any other light than as a social gathering. The only real result otherwise has been the change of name, from Colonial to Imperial Conference. Thc eleventh hour resolution in favor of All-British steamer routes was little more than an expression of pious opinion and led only to the appointment of a committee to consider it. British, colonial and foreign newspaper comment is unanimous In considering the results of the conference insignificant, and in ascribing such result to the hopelessly unsympathetic attitude of the Liberal ministry of Great Britain, and of two colonial premiers. It is not a mere coincidence that the two colonial premiers who resisted all efforts for closer relations are representatives of non-British peoples. Sir Wilfrid Laurler and General Botha are aliens in blood, in speech, in thought and in aspiraUon. Nothing else was to be expected of General Botha and It will not In the slightest diminish tho respect in which he is held throughout the Empire. He Is the leader of a gallant race who have lately made an heroic struggle for their rights as they conceived them. They hnve been treated by their conquerors with a generosity unexampled in history.

Bverjroije in Kootenay will sympathise with the people uf New Denver and Silverton in their desire to have the daily mail and passenger system, which they enjoyed for so many years, restored. The C. P. R. company has been, and is still, one of tbe chief factors in the development and up-building of the country. There is no doubt that if it can be shown that a continuance of the daily service wilt be of such material advantage to Slocan Lake towns as to promote their growth ,the company would continue it. But it should not be forgotten tbat such a service was maintained by the company at a loss for many years, and that the expectations which led to Its inauguration have not yet been realized. Two other features of the case deserve comment: the just aspirations of New Denver and Silver- ton will not be made more easily attainable by rpijUTels between the two, and nothing useful 1b likely to be accomplished by the holding of indignation meetings. A meeting is to be called the evening of Saturday, June 1st, if it is found convenient, for those wbo advocate the formation of a Canadian Club or Empire Club. The name will be chosen and such organization as is required wili be perfected. The name is of little consequence. But it Is important that Nelson should have an open and non-parti- zan organization under whose auspices distinguished visitors can be Invited to speak. The standing committees of the 20,- 000 Club are now struck, and the duties assigned to each are definite. The next fortnight will determine the future of the club. If anything is to be accomplished a forward policy must be evolved at once, and each committee must do its share. The organization is all right. The time has come now for individual initiative. The sympathy of the British press Is being extended to Mr. Birrell, chief secretary for Ireland. He deserves and needs It. His intentions have been excellent, and his brilliant ability is unquestioned, but his two great bills, Education and Irish Council, have been sorry, even ridiculous, failures. LAND NOTICES.

Mr. Wardell arrived here Borne few dny�� ago, and after a short stay In town proceeded on his wny north. His object was to look up lands with the idea of bringing up people from Spokane and lhe lllg Itend district, to locate here. In conversation with nn Albertnn reporter he stated that he was very much impressed with the remarkable quail- lies of the Innd he had lookhd at, and prophesied that ln a few years Canada would have a great imputation. "You have an excellent outlook," he snld, "and the soil Ib marvellous. 1 speak from experience, having been a prm-Hcal farmer in Dakota for a good many years. I have been Bent up here to report on the land and 1 can assure you that my report will bo favorable. I do not remember having seen such good land before." The American Co-Operative League, of wblch Mr. Wardell Is a member, does business on Uie famous Rochdale system of cooperation, which is recognized as the largest, most successful and equitable business system in the world. They organize banks, stores, elevators, creameries, etc., and the profits are returned to the members ln proportion te their patronage. Equal ownership and one vote only Is recognized. No iiroxlos being allowed. The capital Invested draws Interest only and does not participate in Ihe profits of whatever concern is being operated. Mr. Wardell expects to return to Calgary within a few weeks, and at that time hopes to bring iu a few settlers with him. He is confident that this will be a very easy matter once tbe people on the other side learn the true condition of affairs here. He was also interested In the government telephones, and made many enquiries regarding thc same. He also expressed gratification to learn that Uie city had passed a bylaw to put in a municipal Bystcm In Calgary. "That Is the best thing ever happened," he remarked. "Public ownership is one of my principles, and from experience 1 am sure the ratepayers will never regret thla step." Just on a Visit?

New York, May 22���Cuba will make her protest against debt collections by nations a casus belli In tbe coming International peace conference next month, when her voice will be heard for the first time In the councils of nations at The Hague. On the broad questions of disarmament and arbitration of international disputes, Cuba will be guided by thc United States. Dr. Antonio S. De Buatamante, of the chair of International law of the University of Havana, General Orestes Ferrara, a Cuban lawyer and Fernando Sanchez, the member of the Cuban peace delegation, arrived here today on the Ward line steamer Merlda, from Havana, on their way to ihe peace conference. They will be Joined in Parts by Senor Don OonzaleB de Quesada, Cuban minister at Washington, and Senor Manuel San- guilly of the Cuban senate, who are also members of the Cuban peace delegation. Cuba will make her debut at The Hague at the invitation of the Czar of Russia, and It is upon the question of debt collection by the powers from the republics of South America that she will be heard at length. General Ferrers In outlining Cuba's position before The Hague said today: "On the very large questions that will come up before the peace conference, Cuba,.of course, will play no important part. As a republic we are under the control of the Uuited States and any question which arises in the Hague which affects this country will be considered affecting us also, and upon these questions our Interests He with the United States. Cuba favors giving the commission of arbitration at the Hague more authority, and will urge that all international differences and disputes be submitted to arbitration. Cuba Is ever for peace among nations. "Naturally Cuba views with much pleasure all moves towards disarmament, but on that question we can say little at the Hague, for that must be left to the large powera. "The question of powers forcing debt collection on the minor republics of Central and South America will be taken up by our representatives at the Hague. It ls the position of Cuba that debt collection should be a -casus belli, and that the powers should not seek to make debt collections by tbe display of naval force. Debt collections should be a matter of civil court. "On the question affecting the forms of war our representatives will he found with all nations, which today are united ln every effort to reduce the horrors of war." The Cuban peace conference delegates will meet In Parte at the Hotel Continental, on June 2nd, when the plans and position of Cuba before the Hague will be carefully outlined and agreed upon. Dr. De Buatamante and General Ferrara and Senor Sanchez, the secretary of the Cuban peace delegation, sail for Europe on the Krnn Print Wllhelm next Tuesday. SEEING IS BELIEVING. | Conversion of the Man Who Lived Next Door for Ten Yeara. Physique types systems are not a substitute for common sense, but they mix well.

Many were -anxious to contribute towards a wreath to t-e placed on his coffin, but a; the funeral has in all probability already taken place this was abandoned. In an informal way it was proposed to start a list toward placing a monument over his grave, and if the residents of the province for which \V. F- Luxton gave up the best years of his life make any move in this direction there will be liberal contributions from old friends in Nelson. Canada has not had w many patriots that the death of a Jian like Mr. Luxton can be allowed to pass without public recognition. By all mean= let a monument be raised to the man who fought without hope of persona: :a:r. the battle of Manitoba Probably Drowned. A message from T. M. Sturgess this afternoon re-quested Harry Wright, government agent, to Instruct the provincial police that a Chines* employee was missing and probably drowned. Over the teiephone Mr. Sturgess informed The Daily Canadian that the Chinaman had been seen going towords the shore. Later Mr. Sturgess called but got no answer. Finding that the Chinaman was neither at work nor in his own shack, he began a search. He found an old canoe which had been drawn high up on the beach, caught in the bttfcei cJose to the water. Presumably it was placed In the water by the Chinaman who lafr fell out of iL Mr. Sturgesp had frequency warned him that ?he canoe was unsafe. His hat also was found among tbe trees by th*1 water The lake there is deep and at this season not very clear. No trace of the missing Chinaman had been found up to 3:45 p. m.
