There was some doubt gs to the point at which the crossing was asked . Ior, the impression generally being that the sidewalk would be fi.".n tho ends of the two alleys on rnch side ol Roberts street.

Still it was the concensus of opinion that the fight was a-most wretched affair from every standpoint. It is believed th.^t it would not have gone more than ten rounds in England, owing to the constant clinging and holding. : Contrary to reports, from Australia, Johnscn did not stand oil and'fight, as has been believed.

Last Saturday night a number of-the men belonging to this ship came in to Ladysmith, anh after; they had sampled the particular, brand of rifjiiior sold at the local bars they proceeded to engage in a series, of fist battles, which, the-/l- flcers of tlie law regarded as a'menace to the morals and well->being- of local society. As a result three of the men were gathered in by the police, and the others were ordered to conduct themselves as b«camc peaceable mei&s <>• Perhaps they took this friendly ad-, vice to heart and agiiin they, may not have done so. in any event, while the three who were arrested were waiting, their trial before Magistrates Nicholson and Matheson at the city hall Monday night, a number ol the crew camo up to offer consolation ,to their shipmates. f They were nearly all sober,, hut|.dijie big fellow named Ericksson was de. cidedly under the influence of liquor. He sprawled ;over the floor, • ana; in doing so broke a pipe . belonging to Constable Cassidy and used language to that officer that could, not by strelcVof rules be construed as parliamentary. This provoked: ConstaMd Oessidy's wrath, and he pushed the Qflcndcr over on the floor. . Then' Ericksson, without waiting for the count came back and made a pass at Joe Smith! Joe sidestep, ped t.nd landed Ericksson one on tht stomach at the same time giving him a: twist of the toot. Er'icksscn came up mulling and tlio mix-up became general. Then Magistrate Nicholson tor the timo 'being discarded his judicial robes and caught Krichsson by the wrists pinning him down to the tabic, when Constables Callcndcr and Cassidy rushed lira belligerent seaman to thc stairway and the three rolled down thc steps together, but fortunately no one was hurt. While the battle wan raging fiercest und able-bodied men were falling in all directions, Magistrate Matheson remained calm and dignified. With wonderful presence of mind he went over to the drawer where the lawbooks are kept, and made a hurried search for a copy of the riot act, but fortunately the reading of it was found to be unnecessary . Ericksson was locked up for the night, and two of tho offenders were fined $10 and costs each. A third entered into a wordy dispute with the magistrates, and in response to the question if he believed ho would not get justice, replied that that was just about how he felt. It was observable that he was under lhe influence of liquor, and he was' remanded until Tuesday night, when he was again brought before the .magistrates and fined $li*> and costs. Ericksson, who had committed the disturbance in the court room, also came up at the same time, and was fined $10 and costs. The fines were all paid without a murmur. Merits of Septic Tanks Discussed After tho regular meeting ot the city city council Monday evening, there was a long conference between (lie Board of Aldermen and the delegates appointed ,|by the Citizens' League to discuss the question of septic tanks. The mayor and aldermen were very fran': in dealing with the delegation, and expressed themselves very anxious to solve tha problem in the,bcst;interests of the city. Tho mayor and several of the aldeirf men stated that they had always bcejl in favor of having thc sewer pipes running out into thc bay below low water mark, and that they had only changed their opinion when what seemed to be satisfactory objections had been urged hy Mr. Mohun. Even yet they Would like to do away with theseptic tank providing the other method were found to 'be the best. The greatest oiifectioniadvauced by Mr. Mohpn was that the returning, tide might deposit tbe sewerage on the hanks and thus lead to a conflict with'' the Board of Health authorities. There were other objections urged, but this seemed to be the one that carried with it the predominant argument in favor of the- septic tan';. . The delegation were supplied with blue prints of the plans of thc sewers, and spent several hours with' tha council in making careful examuia- Local and General News Notes The W. C-. T.

At the point whero the septic tank discharge plpo is surveyed to', the chart ol the bay shows between three and four fathoms of water. . It was pointed ouf by tlie delegation that,the current at this point was continually in motion, and without the aid of the septic tank, the sewerage would be ,000 Chinese in Canada.

This turned out to be almost a fact, alter brief investigation, and tho statement' is made that many more men than usual havo been eating sweets since Her late Mriesty, Quern Victoria urged the army to eat chocolates and jams. In Germany and France, where beer and wines arc indulged in, little sugar is consumed. In Great Britain a great many less hard drinks are consumed i,nd more sugar. Australia is the most temperate of the colonics. There 12'J pounds per head ot sugar is consumed; in tbe United States 8i> pounds; in Canada 81 pounds, with a rapidly increasing, ratio in favor of sugars, jams and jellied sweets. There has been an increase of two and a half million pounds sterling in sugar import rnvenucs inter Britain since 1902. In Canada the increase in sugar has not been compared with thc Import of intoxicants. The latter show great gains in late years; but the revenues therefrom have not grown since 190", while sugr,r imports have slightly increased.
