NELBON, HELP TOM Last Decrees of Chinese Emperor and Dowager WHERE THE DANGER UES ONLY RESULT OF SUCH ACTION WOULD BE TO GIVE SATISFACTION TO THE RIVALS OF BOTH , , COUNTRIES-REFORMER'S VIEW ,' OF THE SITUATION. LONDON, Nov. 11—The Pekln correspondent ot the Times thinks that the valedictory decrees of the emperor and dowager empress both powerfully strengthen the movement towardB constitutional reform, All accounts agree that the satisfactory maintenance of order Is due to Yuan-sbt-kal, who has displayed during the crisis statesmanship of high order. He Is known to have advocated the selection finally made for the emperor's successor. The tact that prince Chun will be tor 12 years virtually the emperor, the correspondent thinks, cannot weaken the position of Yuan-shl-kal, and those whose Influence Is progressive provided he keeps Independent of female influence. PEKIN ,Nov. 17—Nothing has developed In Pekln today to substantiate the reports that the emperor ot China or the dowager empress was poisoned or otherwise the victims ot foul play. 'All the foreign legations here agree that the emperor met a natural death, opinion varies, however, regarding the end ot the dowager empress, but all ths deductions in her case are negligible and In no sense related to the sources whence have come the circumstantial details of the passing away ot their majesties. In view ot the suspicions entertained abroad In this connection, the foreign olflce today explained freely and at length, the circumstances attending the death ot the empress and Its exposition haa been satisfactory to the powers friendly to China. PBNANO, Straits Settlement, Nov. IT —Kang-yu-wel, the head of the Chinese tttatm movement throughout the world Is at -present at Penang. He Is confined (Jo bis bed, however, and today he refused to see an Interviewer who sought Ms opinion on the present situation in China, on the ground that he was prostrated with grief over the death ot the emperor. Kang-yu-wel was close to the late emperor In 1808 and It wsa through his Inspiration that the many reform edicts of that time were Issued. He barely escaped with hts life trom Pekln when the late empress dowager became aware ot the progressive Influence he was exerting over the emperor. His secretary said today that Kan-f-yu-wel suspected foul paly at the palace. He considers prince Chun, the regent a ressonabe man not opposed to reform*) but so long as Yuan-shl-kal Is alive the situation In China will be the same as during the last reign and that there will be' no change h> policy.

BERLIN, Nov. 17—Forced by the angry tide of popular feeling that swept the empire from end to end, emperor William today yielded to the nation and promised henceforth to conform himself to constitutional methods of conducting the policies of Germany. The climax to the public utterances of the emperor, was reached in an interview which he gave tto an Englishman and which was published ln the London Daily Telegraph on October 28, As. the outcome of this, the whole country was aroused, the Reichstag endorsing the attitude of its most prominent members v/hen they denounced that the sovereign and chancellor von Buelow, while he attempted to smooth away the affair, undertook to communicate to his majesty a straight and unvarnished statement of how the German people Viewed his Intervention in affairs of state. The interview between the emperor and the imperial chancellor took place at the new palace at Potsdam this morning and at its conclusion the emperor made a formal promise to his people that he would not tn the future act except through the chancellor and Mb associate ministers. This promise 'was made public in the Reichsanzeiger, the official gazette of the empire. It was in the form of a .note printed on the front page, where decreeB, the text ot treaties and promulgation of new laws usually appear. It was as follows: "During today's audience graftted to the imperial chancellor, hts majesty the emperor and king listened for several hours to a report by prince von Buelow, the Imperial chancellor, who described the feeling and its causes, among the German people in connection with the ■article published 'In the Dally Telegraph. He also explained the position he had taken during the course ot the debates and interpellations- on this subject in the Reichstag. His majesty the emperor received the statements and explanations with great earnestness and then expressed his will as follows: "Heedless of the agitation and of public criticisms which are regarded by him as incorrect, his majesty perceives that his principal imperial task Is to insure the stability of the policies of the empire under the guardianship of constitutional responsibilities. In conformity therewith- his majeBty approves the' chancellor's utterances in the Reichstag and assured prince von Buelow of his continued confidence." Prince von Buelow had determined upon handing ln his resignation it thei emperor had not met the country's demands but, as such a situation did not arise, the audience ended with the emperor saying to the Imperial chancellor that he reposed full confidence In his wisdom. It is certain now ln the minds of the German people that a great step had been taken toward freer government. Interpreted by the events leading up to It, the least this declaration ot the emperor can mean is that his majesty promises to limit hla freedom ot speech and obsreve carefully the constitutional forms ln taking no initiative without the advice and consent of the prime minister. This narrow Interpretation Is* strictly a bureaucratic view. A wider view aB voiced by the liberal press Is that Germany enters upon a new era of government responsible to the people, with the crown and the nation acting together. Mutual goodwill prevailed at the audience and the emperor, who displayed a marked degree of condescension, had been greatly moved by the occurrences of recent dayB. The chancellor declared that his general position was contained ln the manifesto of tbe conservative party which represents the most loyal section of the German people, issued Nov. 6. This declaration expressed serious concern, "that not infrequently the utterances of his majesty 'brings our foreign politics into a difficult situation," and aded, "ln order that the em- pero'rs reputation may he preserved from criticism and discussion and the German empire and people from complications and harm, we express the reverential wish that greater reserve be displayed in future ln making such utterances." 11 Prince von Buelow bore, he said, the mandate ot the rulers of Bavaria, Wurt- emherg, Saxony and Baden, the tour most prominent states in the empire outside of Prussia, to communicate to hla majesty their collective hope that he would be more retlcient In the future. The chancellor submitted an authorisation from the Prusalaii cabinet to express their agreement with him as mln- leter ana president of the council. He represented also the members oi the The feeling ot the country peared well night unanimous. The emperor frequently Interrupted prince von Buelow with questions, supplementing the information he had received from Other sources hy the chancellor's replies. His majesty was surprised, even astonished, by the assemblage ot facts Indicating the aspirations and demands;of the people. The chancellor thought that the people should invariably influence the acts of the sovereign, The empenv accepted prince von Buelow's views fully and agreed to the publication of ail. assurance to this effect. The chancellor did not ask that the emperor should issue a decree or any formally signed statement, but desired him to approve the text of the Reichsanzeiger note, which the emperor did. Within half an hour of the chancellor's return lo Berlin bulletins, Issued gratis by the evening papers reporting a favorable issue of the meeting between the emperor and prince, were eagerly snatched by an anxious public, who in the first moment «of joyful surprise scarcely conceived the importance of the annnouncement to themselves and the empire. The whole nation had awaited with breathless suspense the word from the palace which would decide whether prince von Buelow 'would resign office and the reign of personal policy continue or whether the chancellor would remain and the desire ot the people bi fulfilled, that the.nation as well as the emperor would have the word ln deciding the policies of the country. With the exception of the Tageblatt which closely confines its remarks, a few of the evening papers In Berlin comment upon the audience and Its result. The National Zletung, however, proclaims thrj Incident as a new era of the representative Institutions. It says: "May this fresh epoch of German Imperial history whose national days are Nov. 10 and Nov, 17, continue to progress quietly and peacefully with- uot violent upheavals. The chancellor, von Buelow, has fulfilled one pnrt of the task which the nation demanded of him. Full and lasting satisfaction Will reign when men and government Pursue the same lines of policy to a realization of the constitutional Idea. We shall be able to see from the steps the ; chancellor ijtalces whether the occurrences whloh have created so much damage will, ln future, have as full and fruitful effect, and in what manner.

In accepting the office Mr. Sullivan said he consented to serve a third time in the presidency only because his retirement might be construed abroad on an admission on the part of the American Olympic committe that his acts as United States commissioner had not received the sanction of the A, A. U. of the United States, The union not only unanimously re-elected Sullivan, rescinding Its rule against a third term to do so, but by resolution upheld him in the course he pursued during the progress of the games In London when frequent disputes arose between the American athletes and the commllttee In charge of the events at Shepherd's Bush. ' -Since the conclusion of the Olympic gsmes recently and the return of the officials and athletes to the United States there has been a bitter feeling existing between the American and British athletic associations. This practically culminated today by the adoption of resolutions which being about the reverse of all ties of friendly competition between these bodies.' There never was a binding agreement between America and Great Britain in athletics, but today's action of the A. A. U. officials is sufficiently drastic to insure fair treatment for American athletes In all future international contests. The sense of the meeting of delegates today was that unless the American Athletic union haB a share in the management of such meets, none of the registered amateur athletes from the United States should be permitted to compete in them. The union's endorse* ment of president Sullivan's act as a commissioner carried with it approval of hla action in the case of J. C. Carpenter of Cornell university, and was tantamount to a refusal to take any cognizance whatever of the British association's disqualification of that athlete. The action of the British aSBocifr tion in disqualifying Carpenter, was dwelt upon during the greater part of the discussion of International athletic contests, and after a long conference, a committee of five, with power to add to its number, was appointed to look out In future for tha Interests of American atheltes whenever they were entered In events to be decided outside of the United States. This committee Is made up as follows: James E. Sullivan, New York; Bartlow S. Weeks, New York A. C; Gustavus T. KIrby, chairman of the advisory committee of the Intercollege Athletic association. Everett C. Brown, Chicago; and Jos. B. McCabe, Boston. This committee will act in conjunction with similar committees from other nations but tbe Americans will insist that none of the A.A. U. registered athletes can compete in the department of sports of which the A. A. U. claims jurisdiction. "Unless such meeting and the management thereof are, approved by the A. A. U." President Sullivan's addreBB, which Was of consdcrable length, dealt, especially with the features of the Olympic competition which have attracted American attention and criticism. Upon his suggestions, in this address, was based the later action of tbe meeting on International athletic matters. "In general," said Mr. Sullivan, summing up his comment on the Olympic games, "we do not feel, that'the management of the games was what It should have been, we feel confident that If we are to have future International competitions some definite plan must be adopted whereby each country that enters & team, shall have a voice In the management. We protested only when It was necessary to secure what we considered athletic fair play." The national junior and senior championship meetings will take place ln Seattle, Wash., next year tn connection witb the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposition. _ Ketchell and Papke.

Already headquarters for the missionary societies of the various Protestant churches are found In Toronto; this time tt is the Catholic church that moves. Tbe new conditions which a; great west, rapidly filling with European Catholics of all the nations and an immense Influx of those already submitted to the influence of the English language, coming from the United States and the older provinces of Canada presents,, call Imperatively for a complete organization within the church, which, like those of the Presbyterian, Methodist, Angli- - can and Baptist churches, will stretch from end to end of the Dominion and conserve the best missionary interests in It. This society, which Is known as tbe Catholic Church Extension so- cety of Canada, was organized during the past summer and held Its first executive meeting in September, it is modelled for the most part after the United States society of the same name—an Institution which has done marvelB in a short time—except In this, that the one established here Is purely and simply Canadian, and as patriotic as It is religious. Simply, ihe objects of the new so- 'clety may thuB be stated: To foster and extend the Catholic faith In Canada by cultivating a missionary spirit in the clergy and people, by founding a college for the education of missionaries, by the building and equipping of chapels In pioneer districts, by contributing to the support of poor missions, by the circulation of good literature and by everything else proper to the main purpose of the society. • The means of support, as with all such institutions, will be the voluntary contributions of the people, individually or In association, and already those blessed with plenty of the world's goodB, we are informed, are contributing munificently to the good work. The missionary spirit in recent yearB has been strong in1 all the Protestant communities of the country, and a revival is now being preached by them, whloh contemplates the raising ot an Immense fund to bring all tbe peoples . of the world within the Gospel's light in this twentieth century. "Convert the world to God In the twentieth century" Is their cry, and it is certainly as noble a one as ever fired Crusaders of old to heroic exertion. The Catholics of Canada, once so noted for missionary endeavor, wtll also imbibe this new enthusiasm through the medium of the new society and the result can not fall to strengthen greatly the struggling pioneer communities and signally uplift Canadian civilization. Catholic Extension has purchased from the owner, G. P. Magahn, Esq., the plant, asets, title and goodwill of the Catholic Register newspaper, and will henceforth carry on Its business and issue Its matter from the offices at 119 Wellington street west It' Is the Intention of the society and Its chairman, archbishop McEvay, of Toronto, to continue the publication of the paper and to make it the best, most authoritative and widely circulated of the English Catholic Journals of Canada.

The conservatives of British Columbia have scored a victory which would have been notable had it occurred synchronously with the other elections, but which, won In the face ot sweeping government-'successes elsewhere In the country, 'ts simply astounding. The liberals of the province will do well not to waste any time in attempting to argue away the significance of the pluralities which the conservative candidates have received at almost every polling place ln the interior constituencies, for It cannot be argued away. The defeat of .liberalism ln British Columbia Is a fact susceptible of explanation, but not ot any modification In the least worth the trouble of making. As we have pointed out before as far as British Columbia was concerned the issues Of the general election were two: the general record of the government and the special question of oriental labor. As regards the first we -see no reason why the the verdict of British Columbia should be any different from that of any other part of Canada, and we decline to believe that It was different. As regards the second, while we thought at the time, and still think, that the results on the coast were largely brought about by a feeling that the government had not gone as far as it should have done in the matter of the exclusion of orientals, we doubt that this operated In the upper country to anything like the extent it operated down here. Why then did a government with all the prestige of the 26th day of October, meet with so emphatic a ne- gative in eastern British Columbia? The time has come for plain speaking. The naked truth is that ln British Columbia the liberal party has for years been badly led and badly organized, and unless the men who have governed ' councils of late are superseded by the men o fenergy and Initiative who have been held In leash, tt will continue to meet with defeat and disaster whenever it takes the field'. Happily there are some signs that the rank and fie are realizing the facts of the situation and tbe necessity of a change. There was a new spirit abroad both at the meeting of the Young Liberals on Tuesday evening and the Senior Liberals last evening. It was a spirit of enthusiastic looking forward beyond this day of present defeat to the day of future victory, a spirit of confidence In the party and the advocacy of the prlnclnlm for whlpti It 1 La-Grippe Arrested and Consumption Prevented Mr. 6.

The liberals of Vancouver, In fact have risen to the occasion even while the ballots of Kootenay and Yale- Cariboo are telling the last chapter ot the story of the slipping of a province through the fingers of the inept. It Is now for them to take the lead ln the work of reconstruction whloh must be carried out within the party as the most essential preliminary of active and successful work outside. (Victoria Colonist) The election of,Messrs. Burrell and Goodeve yesterday was an event of unusual significance. Four years ago British Columbia sent, seven representatives to the house of commons to support the Laurier ministry. This year it sends two, one of whom, Mr. Sloan, was elected by acclamation, no one caring to oppose him. in a constituency larger than some -of the eastern pro. vinces and one that he had carefully nursed ever since he represented It, and the other Mr. Smith, who did not receive a majority of the votes cast, there be-' Ing three candidates in the field. This Is a great change from those days of four years ago, when the hopes of the liberals ran high as victory after victory was announced, and a condition of things was created of which the logical outcome was the retirement of Mr. Templeman from the senate, the appointment of Mr. Riley to that body and the entry of the first named gentleman into the commons, with a seat ln the cabinet The change Is so remarkable,that It calls for more careful consideration than can be given it this morning. The result ot the elections ot yesterday means the complete collapse of the liberal party In British Columbia. We have not the least desire to exult over the political downfall of any man, bkt it seems as It there must be something exceedingly deficient in the leadership that made possible so remarkable a reversal of the verdict, of the British Columbia constituencies. We do not think the house will be much the poorer for the absence of Mr. Duncan Ross, and It will certainly be the gainer for the presence of Mr. Burrell. Disinterested men will concede that m- Goodeve, though In opposition will be a more useful member than Mr. Curtis on the government side. The Colonist extends its hearty congratulations to tho successful candidates. (Victoria Dally Times.) The Times Is dlsapolnted, but not, frankly speaking, greatly surprised at the results of the elections held yesterday in the constituencies of Yale-Cariboo and Kootenay, It was quite apparent train the vote in the coast constituencies of the province that the majority of the electors hsd made up their minds to give emphatic expression to their views upon the question ot Asiatic exclusion. The imagination of the people had been Inflamed In the first Instance by the great influx ot Japanese under the notorious Gotoh contract, drawn up by a member of the McBrlde government. Notwithstanding the circumstances of that incnrslon, other members of the government primarily responsible for It did not hesitate to fan the flames and keep them blazing for their own political purposes. The Laurier government, although It has been generally condemned ln this province, stemmed that invasion and settled the general question of Asiatic Immigration in a manner stamped as statesmanlike and satisfactory by national and Imperial authorities. It could not have been disposed of in any other manner without lmpenliiing the cordial relations between Japan and Great Britain and sacrificing at the same time the commercial interests of Canada and particularly the commercial future of British Columbia. But Unfortunately the majority ot the people of British Columbia are in no mood at present to consider the matter calmly and dispassionately. They have been stirred up by demagogues who would have heen better employed In discharging the duties.entrusted to their care by the electors of the province. When the forces of passion and unreason set In motion by premier McBrlde and his political comrades ln arms have subsided and sane judgment once more assumes Its sway, we are convinced some one will be held to account for recent. occurrences, when the public realise that practically all the time of the provincial ministers Is employed In junketing through the country at their expense for the purpose of stirring up strife against other provinces ot Canada In setting forces In motion which may ultimately have the effect of Imperilling the aflat Canadian confadwatlon, (II tor. the purpose of promoting the ambitions of a man popesslnt no other BOtaN overweening ambition and a certain capacity for organization, ho one will envy that Individual when the day of reckoning comes. In the meantime we believe the electors on the coast and ln the Interior have made a grave error of judgment We think the Laurier government and the candidates of that government on the records were deserving of the confidence ot the public. "British Columbia was in a state of Industrial and commercial 'lethargy until the present government stimulated the latent life in it by the construction of the necessary railways and by other processes of encouragement. The government lives, however, and will continue to do its duty by the province notwithstanding the general Verdict of condemnation. By the end of the term of the present parliament the fires of incendiarism kindled by Hon. Richard McBrlde will be as dead as his political future ought to be If the people of British Columbia are capable of distinguishing between true patriotism and mere demagoguery. (Vancouver Province.) The defeat ot Mr. Smith Curtis In Kootenay and Mr. Duncan Ross In Yale- Cariboo Is an emphatic answer by British Columbia to the whine of other rejected liberals that this province would regret any display of antagonism to a government which bas been re-established ln power with such' a decided majority as Bir Wilfrid Laurier again en joys. Despite full knowledge of the strength of the administration these two constituencies have declared deliberately that they will not sacrifice principle, that they will not sell their franchise to secure the immediate (advantages* fjo •lavishly promised them by the ministerial candidates. By the election of Mr. Burrell and Mr. Goodeve these two constituencies have taken their stand definitely, with the three large and important ridings of the coast, In opposition to the policy ot the federal premier towards this pro- lnce. The result is a declaration by them on the questions of oriental Immigration, better terms and the security of our provincial resources against tbe encroachments of the dominion power. But it is more than tbat. It is an un- mlstakeable expression ot dissatisfaction with the mal-administratlon of the country's affairs during the past five years, of disapproval of the corruption which affects every branch of the public service; of dissent from the practice by which the resources of Canada have been siezed and administered for the personal advantage and benefit of the members of one party. I It is Impossible to mistake tbe meaning of this conservative victory ln these two British Columbia constituencies. The election was a free and fair one, apart from the bids which the government candidates were able to offer the public for support—offers which were backed up by the endorsement of ministers of the crown. It was a fair election and the representatives of the administration were defeated. The government and the liberal machine at Ottawa were apparently satisfied that the electors would be oppressed by a feeling that It waa useless for them to oppose such a majority as was given sir Wilfrid. Laurier by the country at large, On the 26th of October and would offel no serious opposition to the ministerial nominees. NO large expenditure of money therefore was deemed necessary to retain these seats and the liberal can- diadtes, with the Immense advantages they enjoyed, by the triumph of their party, were regarded aB certain of election. In both ridings. In both ridings cubstantlal; In Kootenay It had been substatulal; in Kootenay it had been very large. The result of yesterday in the light of all these facts, was extremely gratifying. In spite of the most prodigal ''[promises of government recognition made by the liberal standard- bearers nnd backed by members of the cabinet, the electors reversed the former majorities and elected the opposition candidates by unprecedented majorities. The voice of the people of Kootenay and Yale-Cariboo express tho true feeling of the Canadian people ln every province of the confederation except Quebec—a feeling which was deadened by the artful application of a golden drug. We have no doubt that many liberals ln and out of parliament who are not residents of Yale-Cariboo will agree* with the conservatives that Mr. Duncan Ross has got his deserts. The libera] members of parliament, especially, will feel a sense of relief. They regarded Mr. ROss as a man who was too observant of his neighbors' personal actions.

The opposition and the country, Including his own constituency, had a more substantial grievance against him. He was not an Intelligent or a useful member of parliament. He possessed no public spirit and he misrepresented to the country the wishes of his riding and hts province. His speeches dn the house show that he was not truthful In his'utterances and that he was prepared to sacrifice his constituents and the interests of British Columbia to serve party ends and personal alms. And with very mediocre ability he possessed a species of cunning which made him dangerous to the real welfare of the public. Such a man It Ib manifest, ought not to be ln parliament, and he will not be there again. The constituency of Tale-Cariboo has said so. .

FRUIT LANDS Although the announcement ot their real valu? has been a trifle long delayed, British Columbia fruit lands are fast coming into general public notice outside of the province and outside ot the dominion. Speakers at Public functions nowadays when referring to the potentialities of this province are careful to Include fruit growing along with minerals, lumber and the fisheries and the province Is getting the benefit of being known abroad aB a trult raising country, a distinction that attracts the attention ot an exceedingly desirable class of investors and settlers. In his speech at Vancouver the other day James J. Hill laid special stress on the fruit raising possibilities ot B.q. and presided a prosperous future for the industry in the near future. Tho announcement published yesterday that the Belgo-Canadian Fruit Land company had been formed lo Antwerp to do business in this province Is only one of many Indications that the Interest taken in fruit ranching hereabouts is tar reaching. The Industry ln the Kootenays from a commercial standpoint Is, of course, still ln Its Infancy and to advance It rapidly the co-operation ot all concerned Is essential. Local ranchers will bear out the statement that last year's experiences were not satisfactory so tar as the marketing of the trult was concerned snd ln some other details. Without enquiring too closely Into the cause of the failure last season, It seems clear that the trait (rowers must act together it they desire to nap the full benefit ot their labors. Blade handed efforts may occasionally ha successful bat If th» fruit Is to be packed, transported Ja- _.. . ..._ „„. -.— ...- promptly .active co-operation through a well managed association is necessary. As to whether such an association should be wholly a Provincial one, or whether Kootenay ranchers could obtain better results by acting as an independent body, no opinion is now expressed, hut it is obvious that the time for making the necessary arrangements for next year is during the winter months and it Ib to be hoped that before next spring Kootenay ranchers will have again fully discussed the difficulties to be encountered and have arrived at a satisfactory understanding. It is highly |u the interests of the whole community that trult raising in Kootenay should succeed commercially and the trult growers are assured of sympathetic assistance from every quarter to aid them In obtaining the desired end. EDITORIAL NOTE3. Mr. Lemieux has apparently been successful on his present semi-official visit to England. The postmaster general said at a private dinner party last week in London that he looked upon cheap communication by post, wire or cable as the lntelllectnal bonds ot the British empire and that he would be satlstied with an All Red cable ana a substantial reduction ot existing rates. Although the cable companies have affected to regard with scorn Hennlker Heaton's penny-a-word cable scheme,' yet according to the despatch from London published. this morning, the rate has been, cut In half for newspapers and cut more than in half for the general public ,a fairly clear Intimation that the companies interested have deemed It the part of wisdom to meet Mr. Beaton's penny-a-word scheme with a substantial reduction ot existing rates, ln the hope no doubt ot at all events post ponlng the still cheaper rate proposed. The move is all very well as a first step ln the right direction but the rates must be cut considerably lower yet before the public gets fair play in the matter. When all the facts ln regard to the cable monopoly are known, the demand tor a rate something near the penny-a-word scale will, become Insistent and will possibly be granted. It Is a matter ot regret that the city authorities were unable to provide ac- oommodatlou for the Nelaon library and tree reading room ln the new city hall. The present -jua-rters of the library leave much to ho desired and ln addition the board haa, to Pay rent for the premises used, an expenditure that It was hoped could be avoided by the transfer..

A couple of years ago there waa an undoubtedly strong local feeling against applying for a grant from the Carnegie library tund and that feeling probably exists as strongly as ever, but the fact that ln deference to the" prejudice' referred to, no application was made to the Carnegie trustees, is all the greater reason why the public should on every reasonable opportunity come to the aid of the library and assist ln maintaining its eftlcleny. Apart from the emigration work of the Salvation army which has aroused hostility in some quarters, it Ib quite impossible to regard unmoved the very excellent work accomplished by the or- ganizatiojo in other dljfeottons. Col. Fugmire who was ln the city on Sunday last with commissioner Coombs, gave some idea of the magnitude of the army's campaign along a single line, when he stated that 22.000 Prisoners ln Canada were Interviewed the past yeat by himself and his assistants and that ot 1000 discharged prisoners met by the army, no 'ess than 750 had been provided with employment. So long as the Salvation army is able to accomplish work of the sort referred to, it will receive public sympathy and support. The leading man ln China during the present crisis rejoices ln the name of Yuan-Shl-Kal, and the Pekln correspondent of the London Times, ln giving him a good character as a statesman, adds that his chief stumbling block is the female Influence at court which may be used to mar his plaits tor the betteh government of the Chinese. It would seem to be a case for the Lonon suffragettes. When they get out ot prison they should go to Pekln and train up Yuan-Shl-Kal in the way he should go. They alone may be able to overcome the influence feared by the Thunderer's Chinese correspondent. As a result of the Interview at P°ts- dam yesterday with ohancellor von Buelow,-the emperor of Germany will in future become "William the Silent" so fas as his intervention in' foreign af fairs ot state Is concerned. According to the story, told ln cabled despatches published this morning the emperor gave his unqualified assent to the promise asked of him by the chancellor. The king's nephew has evidently learned wisdom of late, probably from the astute prince with whom he was shooting pheasants all last week. The emperor Willi doubtless choose some other method than the one he recently used when next he tries to demonstrate his friendliness for Great Britain and his intense desire to follow tn the footsteps of hla uncle, as the .•peacemaker of Europe.

The reason for this is that the only danger Is from the films igniting ln* the operating room, which la usually located over the main entrance. Should the Alms take Are, the audience would be expected to quietly walk towards the rear end of the buildings now In use. where proper doors have been placed, over which red lights will remain burning during performances.

"It Is well within thte limit to soy that the money value of the various agricultural products of the three western provinces of the dominion will reach the splendid sum of $125,000,000," sold Mr. F. W. Thompson, vice-president of the Ogilvie —Ate you entirely satisfied with the clothes you are now wearing, sir? —Do you know anything about the merits and good qualities of the clothes we sell ? —How much time do you spend thinking about your clothes ? —"The way to be well dressed is to wear clothes you don't have to think about.

Emory & Walley The Home of Good Clothes Flour Mills Co., Ltd.. to the Star today. Mr. Thompson has just returned from an extended trip to western Canada and speaks in glowing terms of the prospects in that part of the Dominion.. "I have always been Interested ln tho west as a wheat producing factor,"said Mr. Thompson, "and today am more optimistic than ever. The country has produced a splendid crop, and the high prices obtained for" the- products are proving extremely remunerative to the agrfcultulal communities. "I was particularly Impressed ho added, by' a statement made to me" by a man who had carried on farming for twenty-seven years within a radius of twenty-five miles of the city of Winnipeg. He said that In these twenty-seven years he had secured no less than twenty-six successful crops and as I know him to bo a very reliable man, I think I am quite Justified in saying that there are very few other countries In the world, if any at nil, possessing such a record for successive good crops. "Business ln the west Is gradually resuming Its normal condition, for when we can accurately measuro the crop returns. It Is quite easy to figure out that with the prosperity of the west assured, the same nappy condition of things, both commercially and financially, will naturally radiate throughout the rest of the Dominion. While one does not wish to be credited with making a cast iron estimate of the (year's value as a whole, I do not think that J125.000.0fl0 is by any means nnd extravagant figure. This claim is justified by the leading bankers of the west} so It goes without saying that the distribution of so much will bring about conditions which, as far as the welfare of Canada is concerned, cannot very well bo overestimated. "Tile railways are certainly moving the crop very rapidly at the present time, vet notwithstanding this activity there will bo enough grain in the country following tlie close of navigation to keep the roads employed till practically tlie next crop Is In sight.

Dr. Corwin of Pueblo, told of a young engineer who, through jealously, neglected his work with the result that his train waB wrecked. He told of another engineer who, while worrying over the fact that the night before he had gambled away his pay cheque, ran his train Into an excursion train. The speaker denied that railroads overworked their men by deliberate choice and that it would be decidedly false economy for them to do bo. "Sometimes drink Is mistaken for brain fag and over work" says he, "The public has a right to demand from the railway system that employees be given sufficient rest but that does not go far enough. The employees should take rest during the time allotted to them but when they do not, what then The employee who uses his recreation for gambling, drinking and • smoking to access ia no more able for work than Is the man who bas been on duty 18 or 20 hours." A change of the signal systems now in use by railways was advocated ln a paper by professor Geo. M. Stratton, of the university of California. "'One hundred persona may bo killed in an accident due to color blindness of the present engineer" declared the professor "and it Ib time that a change for better safety be made. The examination of all employees sight should be mercilessly conducted." The United States navy system of signaling by night lights was urged for adoption by professor -Stratton. In the address by Dr. Shillings, president of the association, he advised medical men connected with railways not to ride on passes given In paym«nt for their services. Dr. SUUinga said that surgeons should avoid contract service with railways unless they received enough salary to devot call their time to the work.
