Although generals Linevitch and Kuropatkin express the conviction that Russia is drifting toward peace, no action looking i. oan armistice has yet been taken. On the contrary, the commanders appear to regret that at the time when ihe army has reached its maximum strength, it is likely lo be deprived of victory.

Elvery new dispatch accentuates the seriousness of the situation In Poland and the Caucasus, where a state of almost open war exists and reports of strikes and agrarian disorders aro penning in from many parts of Russia proper, as though tbe volleys fired at Lodz bad been the signal lor au outbreak of general disorders. For the present, St. Petersburg and Moscow have not. been affected, but if mobilization is to be attempted In the two capitals ils reported, a renewal of former tumults may lie precipitated, Another danger spot Is Georgia, the warlike Inhabitants of which are deeply incensed over [he affront to their clergy, some of whom, while meeting to discuss questions of church and state were attacked by Cossacks who dispersed them with knouts. Dispatches from Poland continue to be meagre and unsatisfactory. Apparently there bas been no reoccurrence of the disorders on the scale of the Lodz battle bul a slight cause may precipitate collisions between the troops and people In Lodz, Warsaw, Kalish and other Polish towns at any moment wilh large deatli lists.

But the American Players Show to Good Advantage. London, June 26,—The defeat of Hol- conibe Ward, the American national lawn tennis champion aud the winner lasi year of the city of London championship, in the flrat round of the all- England tournament at Wimbledon, today, brought much joy to the British camp. The contest In which S. H. Smith, the Welsh champion was victorious was probably the fastest ever seen in England. Ward was not Quite up to his last week's form, attributable perhaps to the stiff work of the last two days, but it is conceded that Smith never played a better game. He appeared to be able to stand the extreme pace belter than Ward who serves several times failed to break effectively. W. A. Lamed, Beals C. Wright and W.

GRANARY OF DOMINION VISITING JOURNALISTS IMPRESSED WITH WINNIPEG. THINKS UNITED STATES SHOULD SEND IN EMIGRANTS. Winnipeg, June 26.—The parly of Washington newspaper men who are enroute west to inspect, tbe vast fertile districts of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, were driven about the city this afternoon, aud this evening entertained at a abnquet at which many leading public men were present. The party will leave tomorrow morning for western points. R. L. Jones, assistant editor of Collier's Weekly was _een by a reporter and proved particularly enthusiastic about the visit to Fort William. Hj declared that elevator B, which the party was shown through at that place, was one of the most magnificent ele- j valors he had ever seeu. "1 am Interested iu the elevator business," said Mr. Jones, "and have visited the largest elevators in every state in the United Stales and I confess that 1 liave seen nothing liner in tliis line thun that what we inspected at Fort William." Mr. Jones said the correspondents would be able to send nothing but glowing stories of Canada to their newspapers. "There is an enormous future for tliis country, which Americans do not fully realize," Mr. Jones went on, "and they should know more about it. They have an idea that it is a sort of frigid zone up here and iu reality your climate from Winnipeg, a long distance westward, is identically with that In the bulk of the Russian and German empires. In fifty years 1 do not see why the Canadian west should not have a population of at least forty or fifty millions of people. Eastern Canada has fewer advantages than western Canada, because the future of any country depends largely on the products of the soil. Eastern Canada is bound to be the manufacturing centre, while western Canada will bo the crop raising part of the Dominion. The United States ought to encourage emigration io Canada and especially to the west. American farmers make the besl kind of settlers here, as they have gone through the pioneer school, and Canada needs the best farm- era, because farming operations are carried on here on such a gigantic scale. An incrense of American emigration to Canada will doubtless Increase the commercial Intercourse between the two countries and will be advantageous to all concerned." Paris, June 20.--A strong Impression prevails that Germany's reply to the French note regarding Morocco reached Paris this morning, and that it will be presented during an interview between 1 rince Radolln, the German ambassador and premier Rouvier loday. The officials neither confirm or deny the report that the reply haa been received. Among tlio diplomats gathered at a reception given by the British ambassador, the opinion prevailed that, the reply was in the hands of the French officials and the view was taken that the situation had undergone appreciable improvement. Although it was considered that the German response would not solve all difficulties, yet It. was thought tho ground would be cleared for a definite understanding. The Figaro this morning says definitely that the reply has arrived from Berlin and claims to be able to declare that Germany does not fall Into the French view regarding a preliminary arrangement relative to the scope of the conference. It thus is holding to Its original standpoint that no two powers have the right to lay down points for discussion at a conference called by the sultan of Morocco. HERREROS AGAIN.

THE V. X. & l_. BILL, The vigorous flght made by all the members for tills province in the commons on behalf of the V. V. & E. bill, before the railway committee bas attracted attention all over tho Dominion and almost without exception the stand taken by Duncan Ross and his supporters is warmly approved by tbe press. Tbo Toronto News says editorially: "The promoters of the V. V. & K Co. havo been so fur successful In their fight before the railway committee. Why the division should he a party one, and why a solid conservative voto should bo arrayed against Ibe bill is one of the mysteries of party politics. It is certain that British Columbia cannot bo prevented from obtaining conned ion with the American railways. Tho western provinces must be left as freo In this respect as Ontario and Quebec.

Tho Globe in a long article under the beading of "Lining Up With Monopoly," declares that "all the representatives from British Columbia are pledged to secure the competition the V. V. & E. railway would afford, Public opinion in their constituencies is not only unanimous but urgent." Tho Globe concludes by asserting that "tbe men who line up with the monopoly are no friends of the public rights." The Winnipeg Free Press congratulates lhe (.'. r. I., on making their fight in tho open and commends lining railway tor ils frankness in the 'miilUer. The article concludes: "If nn American railway wished to build a line into tlte eastern provinces there would he not the slightest objection from anybody. Nor would the people of tbe Territories or ot Manitoba tol- erato the assumption tbat they must for their own good lie limited in their channels o£ communication with the south. The idea, however, that British Columbia .should be a preserve for one railway dies hard." The light before tlie committee will go on again this week aud notwithstanding the organized opposition of the C. P. H., the bill will pass and be sent ou Io the commons. EDITORIAL NOTES, No doubt thoro will be some very Interesting developments resulting from Hit; transfer ot the Goodei'bam- Biackstock mining interests to C. P. It. directors. Just what the (irst move will ho is not known, but It may be taken for granted that important changes will shortly be announced. Presumably there will bo a consolidation of tbe War Eagle, Centre Star and St. Eugeno mines under the management of James Cronin. What .mining men would most like to know at the moment Is tbe probable capitalization ol' tbe new concern. The effect of tho sale has been to advance the price of all three stocks on the strength of the assurance given in the initial dispatch thai, shareholders outside of the control would bo protected and would get a fair showing in ihe reconstructed company. Details are awaited with interest. Kino weather alone Is wanted to make the Dominion nay celebration beie a marked success. Those in charge of tho details of the affair bave taken a great deal of trouble in preparing a n.ost excellent program for tbe two daya and ono that should result in the attendance of many residents of nearby towns. The efforts of tbe committee should be loyally supported by the citizens at large. Flags, bunting and decorations generally should be In evidence everywhere on Friday and Saturday.

Among these arc numbered, at nn extremely conservative estimate, 20,000 who belong to the communion of tlie Church of England and for them adequate provision must bo made. Referring to the diocese of Kootenay, tlie address has tho following to say: "Tho diocese of Kootenay, whicli embraces tlio eastern half of tlie province of British Columbia, is a notable example of the development of missionary enterprise, coincident with the lines of settleaemt. The country is almost altogether mountainous in character, nnd tlie settlement naturally follow the lines of railways, iho river, tiie lakes and tho valleys. Tiie determining feature of Ihe work is that it is largely In a mineral region. Tho new settlements are as a consequence, of rapid growth, and compact la form, demanding prompt action in tlio way of organization, but making supervision com- ivmillvely easy, and producing unrivalled opportunities for early self support. In this respect Kootenay possesses a record without a rival in tho Held of Canadian mission work, and well worthy of imitation on tho part of others. "Ton short years ago thero were only four struggling missions in wlwit is now tlie diocese of Kootenay, and no thought of a separate diocesan organization. But since tlie year 1S00 such places as Rovel- stoka, Hossland cranbrook, Fernie, Grand Forks, Greenwood and Trail have risen as if from the ground and are today self- supporting parishes. All the other missions with ono uxeeptlon, havo been opened within tho past few years. The authorities have mado every possible effort to occupy tlio now fields and havo been most careful to develop tlie local resources in establishing missions. Thero is perhaps no diocese in the dominion which has received so little outside help, and this foot, coupled with their faithful attempt to do all ln their power to provide the moans of grace, furnishes a splendid plea to church people to come to their assistance in tlieir efforts to open new stations and to keep open struggling missions. It musf bo remembered In this connection that many of the missions aro ovor .9 miles In length and llv.it the work of tho mission' arles often consists in visiting Isolated settlements. "In a district so new to settlement, which a few years ago was uninhabited save by lho wild beasts and occasional hunters, but Which has tlie splendid record ot eight Bolf-supportlng parishes and 63 stations, mlnstering to Urn spiritual needs of somo ,5000 church people, who liave themselves creeled 22 churches and seven parsonages, and who voluntarily contribute $10.0.0 a year for'church work, we have objects of God's goodness which ought to stimulate us to further effort. There is a population of somo -10,000 souls nnd there are many places which are bi-ing rapidly settled, furnishing a, call to tbo church for men nnd means to carry on tho work of God. It Is of special Importance to occupy the (leid at once in the mining camps, as tho missionary is a tremendous Influence for good, where there is so muoh to bo met in the way of temptation by the men engaged In tlio mines. JUST WHAT EVERYONE SHOULD UO Mr. J. T. Barber of Irwinvllle, Ga.,, always keeps a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy at nana ready for Instant use. Attacks of colic, cholera morbus aud dlarrohea come on so suddenly tbat there Is no time to hunt a doctor or go to the store for medicine.

C, The urgent necessity for the Immediate appointment ot a resident fruit peat Inspector is appreciated by loeal fruit growers. Frequent strong representations have been mado to the provincial department of ■agriculture. Tlie only reply so far received is that Inspector T. Cunningham Will in future pay more attention than formerly lo Kootenay, is nol satisfactory. It is contended that an inspector wllh headquarters at the coast cannot possibly exercise efficient supervision over the Nelson and other Kootenny fruit districts, The secretary of the Kootenay fruit growers' association is constantly in receipt of letters from isolated ranchers asking that efforts he made to have an Inspector appointed Whose headquarters shall be In Nelson. The Dominion Express compamy haw made definite arrangements to have a car, ■specially suited for the shipment of perishable fruit, run regularly twice a week during the summer from Kootenay Landing to Winnipeg, Both matters camo up yesterday afternoon at a special meeting of ihe Kootenay fruit growers' assciatiu held In the city hall at 3 o'clock. Tho meeting was well attended. Its special purpose wus to arrange for Hi*' reception and entertainment uf the members of tlie provincial association who will be here for the convention on July 15. No action could bo taken as no definite Information has been received as to ibe time or tlieir arrival. It Is known that T. Cunningham, provincial fruit pest Inspector, will bo In the district long enough to make ofllclal trips to all the neighboring fruit districts. Many letters were read on the subject of pest Inspection and It wns resolved that efforts to secure the appointment of a resident Inspector should be renewed. An interesting lettor wns received from a farmer of Fort William, who wants to buy 100 acres of fruit land. He is willing to clear It himself but objects to paying $50 an acre for It unless it Is well timbered.

Fourteenth Dominion Convention at Ottawa, October 5-8. Tho fourteenth dominion convention ot lhe Brit lierhooil of St. Andrew will be held in tlie city of Oltawa from October 5th to Sth next, both inclusive. The Brotherhood of St. Andrew Is an Institution composed oC men of the church of England banded together for the one and only object of promoting the spread of Christ's kingdom among men, especially young men. There is little doubt probably in the mind of any thinking man that there is a real necessity in these rushing days to introduce a little more practical religion Into the affairs of every day life; and laymen in the church have found that they can, on Brotherhood lines do a work which the clergy unassisted can hardly hope to accomplish. Although the church Ig the past has not been without her devoted and active laymen, still their efforts havo lost much through being Individual, and the discouragements of unassisted work liave to ofteu forced them entirely io desist. In the Brotherhood, however, these same men have found all the helpfulness and encouragement of ti mutual co-operative society, with the added stimulus of the knowledge that large (lumbers of men the world over are working along the same lines anil in Lhe same order. Great preparations are being made for the convention while the dominion council at headquarters in Toronlo Is actively engaged in preparing a program which It is expected will contain the names of a number of the leading bishops and clergy, and prominent laymen of the church. Delegates are expected from the majority of the 200 active chapters scattered throughout the dominion, while large numbers of visitors will attend from many of the parishes not having chapters. Ottawans are noted for hospitality, NOTICB Is hereby given that 30 days after date I intend to apply to tho Chief Commissioner of Lands and Works for a special license to out and carry away timber from the following described lands, situate on Lemon creek, West Kootenay, District, B.C., commencing at a post planted about seven miles from the mouth and marked Paul Martin HE. corner, running west 80 chains, thenee north 80 clialns, thence east 80 clialns, tlience south 80 chains, to point of commencement, l'AUL MARTIN.

Under the heading of "Lining Up With Monopoly," last Saturday's Toronto Globe lias this to say about the C. P. R.'s light against the V. V. & B. bill beforo the railway committee: "It is significant anil altogether characteristic that, wilh one solitary excep tion, the conservatives at Ottawa have been lined up in Btipport of monopoly. Tiie vote in the railway committee yesterday and the earlier vote on Tuesday ranged the supporters of monopolistic corporations on one side and the defenders of the rights of the people on the other. The conservatives, Mr. Pringle, of Cornwall, alone excepted, were solid in support of the C. P. R. monopoly in southern British Columbia. Absent friends of monopoly- were called back to Ottawa from far and near by constraining telegrams from tlie C. P. R. management and its lobbyists. Fifty-one conservative members gave tlieir votes yesterday for the ob- Cream Baking Powder Used in Millions of Homes. 50 Years the Standard. A Pure Cream of Tartar Powder* Superior to every other known. Makes finest cake and pastry, light, flaky biscuit, delicious griddle cakes —palatable and wholesome. Pkice Bakino Powder Co., CHICA-O. Never eo into the woods away from a doctor with a cheap alum baking powder in the outfit. You want the best baking powder in die world—and it is m_3t economical in tho end. structlon and defeat of the Vancouver- Victoria _ Eastern railway. That railway would break the monopoly which has burdened British Columbia with Intolerable handicaps and blocked Its development, lt would open up districts between Vancouver aud Greenwood which the C. P. R. desires to hold, as it has held other districts, as It owns special preserves. All the representatives from British Columbia are pledged to secure the competition the V. V. & E. railway would afford. Public opinion in their constituents Is not only unanimous but urgent. Two successive campaigns have given emphatic voice to tliat opinion and yet, in the face of these undented facts, men like Mr. Henderson, of Hal- ton, Mr. George E. Poster, of North Toronto, colonel Tlsdale, of Norfolk, and Mr. W. F. Maclean, of South York, the loudest anti-monopolistic pretender of them all, are ready to play the undisguised game of tlie C. P. R. and to block the only way out of monopolistic oppression at present open to , the people ln southern British Columbia. Ontario tories, who know nothing about the situation beyond what the lobbyists choose to tell them, are the easy victims ot the C. P. R.'s "patriotic" arguments. But because of their gullibility, Is the province of British Columbia to he made lo suffer? It Is a serious matter when a corporation, made wealthier and powerful by favors of parliament, becomes In turn the master of parliament and, for lu selfish ends, Is able to " call In the members" to strangle the very life of a young province. "lt will bo the duty of the liberals, ■in tlieir committee and ill the house, to stand guard against such collusive and barefaced attacks upon public rights. Nothing more Insulting to the intelligence and independence of palianiont has ever been seen at Ottawa than tho lobby of the C. P. R. against railway competition- In British Columbia. The make-belieVes of patriotism presented \ to the committee yesterday were loo J flimsy to deceive anybody. A corpora- * tion that has been bonused up to the hilt with money subsidies and land grants, and every other form of public advantage, deserves no consideration when It lobbies parliament to block the construction of a competitive railway that asks for neither money bonus nor land grant. The men who line up with tlie monopoly are uo friends of public rights." Tho Winnipeg Free Press says editorially: The Canadian Pacific railway is putting up a stiff fight lu the railway committee at Ottawa to prevent tho granting of tlie legislation necessary for the building of the Vancouver, Victoria & Eastern railway, which is now one of Jim Hill's enterprises. -A month or more of time has been spent over tho measure and it has not been reported to the house of commons yet. Tho C. P. R. while not able to kill Uie bill have succeeded in blocking It un one or two occasions. The parliamentary opposition to the measure includes almost the entire strength of the conservative party with a considerable number of liberal members from Quebec. The western liberal members are to a man supporting the application for a charter, and in view of their attitude it is not believed that tlie eastern members will go to the length of killing the bill however agreeable such a course might be to them. The C. P. R. aro making their light in the open, and are to be commended for their frankness. The railway lobby has been in operation for weeks and Mr. Drinkwater ' has appeared before the railway committee and fought the measure with vigor. Considerable literature, In the form of pamphlets, bearing on the question has beeu in circulation. These pamphlets have been made up largely of articles reprinted from British Columbia newspapers— ehiefly the Nelson Tribune and the Vancouver Province—in wliich the C. P. R. side of the controversy is taken. Thoir contention Is that It Is unpatriotic to permit United States railways to build lines in Canada. The Hill Interests proposo to extend tlieir present line in southern British Columbia to Vancouver, operating under the V. V. _ E. charter. The line Is to run from Princeton tlirough the Similkameen country und for the purpose of keeping the grades low It dips below the boundary at one point and runs for some distance through United Slates territory. The company gets no land grant or money subsidy; if simply asks for tho right to build the road. Tho load will compete directly with the Columbia & Western, a C. P. R. enterprise, which has been bonused to the extent ot $20,000 a mile. The argument that Unlled States railways must be barred out of Canada for patriotic reasons has been used time and time again in this province within the past twenty-five years, but it hns never had much weight with the public. It is but three years since the local government undertook on these grounds to refuse a charter for the extension of the Northern Paclllc into Manitoba; but they speedily recognized that they had made a great mistake and hastened at the next session of the legislature to grant the required legislation. The railway company has not acted upon the powers obtained by It but this lt no reflection upon the wisdom of the course taken by the logls- biture. -'-fl If the Croat Northern wishes lo open up a part of British Columbia, not now served with railways, by a road, to be built without aid from tlie public treasury, which will bo subject lo tlie control of the railway commission there can he no good reason for refusing Its request. The vigor wllh which tlie C. p. R. is lighting tlie proposal Is pretty clear evidence that the new road will give southern British Columbia and the coast towns real railway competition. Even whero It does not affect rates the public gains enormously by prompter nnd more efficient service. If an American railway wished to build a lino Into the eastern provinces there would he not the slightest objection from anybody.

The members from British Columbia, who aro working like Trojans, have Issued the following circular to their friends in the committee; "Dear Sir: We, tbo members of British Columbia, are grateful to our friends for thoir loyal support of the V., V. & 13. bill. Wo believe that a special effort will be made by the Canadian Paclllc Railway Company to defeat clause three o fthe bill on Tuesday next, and earnestly request your attendance at the committee meeting on tiiat day as our opponents are making every effort to pair their absentees who aro opposed lo the bill with our supporters, aud at the .same time are refusing to give pairs to our friends who will be absent.
