TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 11.1912 J. 48 NATIONAL STRIKE i Three Hundred Thousand Transport Workers Affected fEVERY PORT IN KINGDOM NOTIFIED j Would Tie Up Shipping In- definitely—Will Men Obey Order (By Dally News Leased Wire.) LONDON, June 10—Three hundred ;| thousand transport workers in this is- | land will give up their jobs and all I foreign and coastwise shipping will be J tlsd up indefinitely, if tho union men I obey tho orders of the general council j of tho Transport Workers' Federation \ which tonight sent telegrams to every I, port in England, Scotland and Wales, ' calling for a national strike. Compromise Rejected The ship owners today decided to reject! a -ojompromise, the terms of which the government hus been attempting to arrange. The principal points of tho government's proposals were a general organization of the employers to treat with the unions and money guarantees by both sides as Insurance against violations of agreements. The employers maintain that their Interests are so diverse that any organization embracing all would be impossible; Ihey consider the cabinet's proposals particularly the financial feature, Impracticable and set their faces strongly against giving n labor monopoly to the unions. When tho federation council learned of tho employers' decision it sent the telegrams hroadciiBt, signed by Robert A. Williams, secretary, and Harry Gosling. chairman,1 reading: "Tho cm ployers point plank refuse to accept the proposals for a*settlement. The naif. Llonal executive recommends a'general stoppage at once.' ■ Not at Newcastle the county has not been thrown Into a panic by the calamity which threatens because there Is a general hop- that comparatively few of the men will respond to tho lenders' manifesto. Notes of disaffection are reported in several cities. At Newcastle one of the most Important ports, Peter Miller, leader of the northeast coast unions, said there will be no strike there. "Wo have no quarrel with the employers," ho said, "nnd are bound hy oertain ternis for two years from which we |( cunnn-t break away. Our friend Gos- ■! Ung has no n.uhlority to include the northeast coast In bis national strike nnd there Is no reason to expect that the men will join hlm." Manchester on the other linnd, appears lo favor a strike. Tho cabinet ministers this afternoon received a commltteo of the employers headed by the Duke of Devonshire, who presented resolutions adopted by tho London shipowners' dock labor committee. The resolutions Set forth that the owners were prepared severally to make agreements with the men, covering pay, hours of work and other points, wit hcash penalties for breaches by either side and arbitration with power to award damages the agreement to Include nbsoluto freedom on the part of employers to uso union or non-union labor working separately or together and the return of the strikers to work to piecede any negotiations. Tho resolutions ended with tho stntement that the government proposals were impracticable and theroforo unacceptable. Later the cabinet recielvod the men's leaders and Informed them of the result of the conference. The "port of London which is a large employer also rejected the proposals on the ground that the government had no right to discriminate between union and nonunion labor. If successful the strike will be the most disastrous of the labor revolts which havo kept the country In a turmoil for the past year and disturbed business and strained the diplomacy ol the Liberal government In keeping the goodwill of its Labor allies. Tlie real question being fought out is the recognition of union labor a^nd the cause of the trouble which has already cost business and wage earners hundreds of thousands of pounds Is a stevedore named Thomas who refused to join the union. They took advantage of the ocaaslon to demnnd a general adjustment of terms from their employers who on their side asserted lhat the men had already violated last year's agreement Tho transport federation comprise*- lhe following unions; Sailors ami firemen's union, 90,000; dock, wharf nnd riverside workers, 75,000* London carmen's trade union, 30,000; gas workers, 77,000; watermen and lightermen. 8.000; stevedores, 8,000; engineinen 0,000, nnd some 20,000 laborers belonging to the smaller unions, Per slstent efforts have been mnde to persuade the railway men lo join the federation but they have always refused. The executive of the aallors and the firemen's union Issued a manifesto tonight pointing out that the rules of tho union forbid its joining a national strike until the members have been allotted. It is not known whether the railway men will take part In the strike. The executive of the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants will consider th'' question at the earliest opportunity Indications tonight are that South Wales Is disinclined to join the movement.

VANCOUVER, June lO.-Pussengets on the steamship CanioHiui, which arrived this morning from Prince Rupert, witnessed a wonderful phenomenon all tne way down until within 100 miles of Vancouver.

HDMQNTON, June 10.—"We glvn praise to Thee for the great and blessed event of this afternoon. We give tuanks to Thee for all our ears have heard. Wc thank Thee and praise Thee us we think of the years that ar to come. We praise and thank Thee as we think of ad that th:s will mean to lbs vast country. We praise Thee as we think of all that it will mean to .ho endeavors of Tny people in other lands, in foreign lands. We praise and bjess Thee that in Thine Infinite and divine mercy and compassion, Thou hast brought these negotiations to so blessed and happy a conclusion.' In these words the Rev. Dr. Gllray of the College Street Presbyterian church Toronto, while hundreds of people wiped tears of joy from their eyes today, forever committed tho great Presbyterian church in Canada to the cause of organic union with the Methodist and Congregational ohurches with which negotiations have been car -r.ed on for e'ght years. The actual statement adopted by tho assembly does not formally and legally bind the b(*dy to this course but the denomination will never forget the solemn ceremony of this afternoon and can never even If It is desired lo do so, escape its consequences. In it the chief lea ders of the union cause and the chief opponents of lhe proposal with the assembled delegates entered into covenant to lest the plan by actual experiment and to follow faithfully where- ever they might be led by the great head of the church. Everything that was said and done both before and after the service of -praise and prayer which concluded the discussion and terminated the controversy and had entered on a new life under new conditions with new relations, The action of the Rev. Dr. E. Scott of Montreal, editor of the official journal of the church, who, through the entire controversy hus been the strongest opponent of union In moving that telegrams advising Lliem of the decision of the assembly, be forwarded at once to lho other churches Interested, gave lhe final touch to tihe proceedings. Nothing remained to be said or done. For the result that -has boon attained, lho church owes thanks to many leaders of tbe assembly and among these Rev. Dr. W. J. Chirk of Montreal and Rev. Dr. E, D. Mackron of Toronto may be mentioned. Much is due to Dr. Clark the present head of the union committee. His very brief speech in uhe assembly made an Irresistible appeal. It wus the expectation of the delegates that the service of the afternoon would be harmonious und that the resolution would go through without much question. No one, -however, anticipated that the interest of the occasion would be so deep and keen. The subject was brought to the assembly in the form of the report of a large committee whoch was appointed on Thursday morning of last week. To Avoid Rupture. Dr. W. J. Clark, minister of St. Andrews church, Westmount, Mont., presented the report of the committee. There -were, ho said, three things which the members of the Presbyterian church were anxious about. In the first place, they were anxious that there should be no rupture in the church. There had been a serious difference of opinion on the question of union. The issue was one of great moment, and men differed honestly. It appeared that there might be an open rupture and this they were most anxious to avoid. In the second place, they were anxious that the negotiating .churches should not for a moment, Vest under the misapprehension tliat they were not dealing fairly with them, The effort was being honestly made to get the three churches together for a great redemptive work and It was essential that there should be at all times the most perfect understanding between the bodies. Everything had been open and manifest and there was no doubt of the -position of the church with reference to the subject. In the third place, they were anxious to formulate a plan which would serve to bridge the chasm between the old state and lhe new between the past arid the future. It was essential that some arrangement should bo effected whech should meet this difficulty. Everyone knew, ho said, that the moment was a critical one and that the action taken would bo decisive, Ho was glad to he able to say thut the church was taking a great step forward, Principal Mackay, who had been tho chief opponent of union in previous assemblies, seconded tho adoption of the report. With reference to the need for union, and the desirability of union, there could be no difference of op'nlon. He had never objected to union. ^lt was only to the special/kind of union proposed In this ease that he bers of the church -had now to be ta- keji. The result was ihat a large majority of the members had voted favorably. It was, -however, desirable that respect should be paid also to tne claim of the minority. He would, however, say that If in the end it appeared that union wus desirable and was desired by a very -large majority of the members of'the church ho would undertake to say that there was scarcely a man In the denomination who would refuse to go in the direction ln which the Lord and Master would lead them. One thing was certain, namely, that no one destredr to go back to the condition of mutual suspicion between the churches which existed eforo the present negotiations were begun. That condition could never be resumed, The statement which had been submitted to the assembly was one that he was perfectly ready to sign. The large majority for union in the popular vole had shown, as tiie statement put it, lhat there was a strong indication that the present -negotiations would lead to organic union. The proposal was that the experiment should be tried, in the manner indicated in the statement, and that they should proceed as they were led by the spirit of God. If those who had been opposed to union were con vlnced by the spirit of God, there would be none in the church more loyal, one man fully convinced was worth a thousand driven. Principal Mackay then made an appeal to all those who had been associated with him in opposing the -proposal to unite with him In-its support. Dr. John Nell of Westminster church, Toronto, wha has been mentioned as the moderator of the next assembly, spoke briefly. He said he had be^en a member of the committee having the question in hand but he had been there as a spectator rather than a purticl pant. Thero were, however, three llilngs which he wished to say. the first place, he wanted lo say that he hud desired above all things that representatives of the sister churches could nave been present at the di- cusslon and have heard the manner In wb.ch the subject was dealt with., He was partlcu&rly desirous that they should have heard the reference which were made to the life and work of ihese churches. In the second place, lie wished to comment on tho disposition which the members of the committee had'shown to look at the question from the standP,-at of others, The happy conclusion of the matter was wholly due to this fact, the readiness on the part of all to consider those whose opinions differed from their own The third thing that ho wuntd to say was that It was apparent that In all Ihese negotiations, the committee had considered, not the Interest uf the Pres byterlan church, but the interests of the cause of Jesus. At this point the venerable Dr. R. F Mackffy entered the church and was accorded an extraordinary welcome. Dr. -""lackey lias been confined to bed during tbe greater part of the time, nee the assembly began its work. The entire body rose as he ascended Hie steps of the pulpit and remained standing until he began to speak. Ref- (Contlnued on Page Flvo.)

Ask Interest on Deferred Payments from City SAY BUSINESS IS ALMOST PAYING Council to Go Into Matter on Thursday-Directors Give Statement CLERGYMAN SAVES j MAN FROM DEATH Sharp Squall Catches Small Boat and Capsizes it—Two Could n-ii Swim , (By Dallv Naws Leased Wire.) PRINCE RUPERT; B.C., Juno 10- Whlle on Queen Charlotto islands al tending to his work as representativ of the Canadian Bible society, Rev. \\ Reld was the hero of a boating accident in whicli he with two companions had a narrow escape from death. With J. Murdock and It. S. Jack of Queen Charlotte City Mr. Reid left Queen Charlotto In a sail boat for the Slate Chuok. A sharp squall caught the 'aft which caplslzedj the three men being thrown Into llie water, Murdock nnd Reld were washed some distance from the upturned bont, Jack clinging to the keel.

Murdock and Jack were both III for n bad objected to. The vote of the mem- ftw days after the accident. Contending that llie tramway, on fair analysis of receipts and expenditures, was within a lew dollars month ny of paying its way, the directors o ibe Nelson Street Railway company appeared before the city council last n.gni wiih a counter proposal for the transfer of the enterprise from th' company's to the city's hands. While the council had proposed taking over ihe stock from the shareholders at par and paying for it in *J0 equal annual installments without interest, the directors indicated a wllUngness to rec' ommend tbe bargain lo the shareholders provided 3 per cent interest was allowed on the deferred payments. Tho proposition of the board of directors was presented by a committee composed ol J. E. Taylor, president; H. E. Dougias, secretary, and W. R. Maclean, M.P.P. After some debate, the council decided to meet on Thursday night and go into the terms In com mlttee of the whole, when it would nave the auditor, E. K. Beeston, present, and also have a special report on lhe condition of the electrical portion of tho system from the city electrician, Mr. Thomas. In submitting the proposition ot the tramway directors to the council, Mr, Taylor gave an extended analysis of the report made by Mr. Beeston us elty auditor, with tbo object of show ing that the report was more severe than the facts culled for. The state ment showed that up to May 31 last the company took In $12,006, which the auditor figured must be brought up to H6.*322i or an increase of $4,057, meet current expenses. Now, on the nine months ending February 29, tho stutement showed receipts of $9,705.85, with a loss on operating account of $3,002.3!), but of this loss $2,515.41 was due to the accident, reducing the shortage under normal conditions to less than $500. In his calculations, the auditor had made proper allowances for the payroll and for various main tenance charges, but had also allowed for Items that could fairly be dis pensed with, including $180 for Insurance premiums in excess of those paid now; $1,860 for depreciation, a charge that many similar companies never entered on their books at nil; $800 for staking fund, which, in strict fact, did not have to bo scl aside in any par- l-iculur year; and $600 for miscellaneous expenditure;'' a total of $5,050. Excluding these Items as not legitimate charges on the first year's accounts, the statement would show that the company had done well for its opening year. The first year of operation there had been lots of trouble, with one car operating a part of the timo, whereas now there was an extra truck, an extra pair of motors, and extra parts for all fixtures liable to get out of order. Thus more continuous opera .Lion and steadier and larger receipts were Vow to be anticipated. The earnings would have to be but very slightly Increased to meet expenses, and he believed that the current year the earnings would meet the running expenses and the debenture Interest. The city would be taking over a business well started, and relieving of their burden the men who were courageous enough to put their money into the enterprise when the city would not .ake the risk. Mr. Maclean pointed out that when the city took over the plant after the fire It was presumably with the intention of sooner or later operating it. When the city failed to act, Nelson citizens got together, as they had always got together when the necessity arose, and built the extension and operated the plant. The certainty of cars would mean increased earnings, and the business would practically be on a paying basis. Was tho city going to relieve these men who had put their hands In tiieir pockets for the advancement of the city, or was it going to Jew them down? Mr, Douglas argued that the auditor's figures were estimated with apparently not all* allowances made, Most of the running time had been In the winter, which was admittedly the poor season of the year. Last summer, which might otherwise have been good, the company had to contend with burnt armatures, and every other setback. The $240 a week receipts was away low to what it would he another year. The members of the council Interrogated the directors on a number of points. Mr, Taylor Informed Aid. Austin that the track was In flrst- class condition, except at the corner of Baker and Stanley streets, and tho overhead system was also In good condition except on Baker street, between Ward nnd Stanley. Mr. Douglas in- (formed Aid. Cunliffe that $34,000 of stock had been issued, of which $30,- 000 Was paid for. Aid, Austin—Do not the stock, the eMy's guarantee, and the debts of the company foot up to more than thn cost -of Ibe system? that they couldn't. Mr. Maclean stated that tho only loss was from the accident and from small expenses that could not be foreseen, and President Taylor stated that there were no promotion expenses or bonuses for stock selling, and that the books of the company were open for inspection. Every item could be proved by voucher. Every contract had heen let by public tender,. ■ t Aid, Austin held to his contention that more was being asked for the business than had beep put Into It. Mayor Annable, Aid/ Houston and Aid. Walley took the view that the bargain had a sentimental as well as a commercial side and that the value of the street railway to the city as a community, and the servlqe the shareholders had done in operating it, were factors that should fairly be considered. Aid. Gleazer held that the considerations in fOjVpr of the bargain were almost wholly sentimental, as he considered that lt would bo five or six years before the system was meeting expenses. The last contention was combatted by Mr. Douglas, who claimed that an increase of $50 in receipts per week would effect that object. President Taylor pointed out the Increase in building the increase In assessment, and the consequent growth In the city's borrowing powers directly due to- the operation of the tramway. Aid. Austin said he still felt that his proposal had merit and that if the Olty would take over the business, stand any losses in operation and hand over any profit's in operation lo the shareholders, the interests of aU concerned would be well safeguarded. The discussion terminated In the decision to take up the company's counter offer at a special session on Thursday night.

REGINA/ ^asktj June 10—Twelve hundred enthusiastic Conservative representatives from all parts of Saskatchewan met tonight to do honor to Hon, Robert Rogers and Hon. Dr. Roche, the prairie representative in the Dominion cabinet. Practically every Conservative candidate from the 54 constituencies in this province was present and from Manitoba and Alberta were many visitors. A telegram from Hon. R. L.

After paying a strong tribute to James McKay Mr. Rogers dealt with the conditions he found in his department on his assumption of office. Many regulations hampered the prosperity of tbe settler and ho proposed to remove them. Already he had abolished the ?300 house required on a pre-emption. He pro- to immediately reduce the area under cultivation required to secure a patent on a bush farm to half tbo present amount. In cases where land was devoted to grazing he proposed to at once Introduce a change, whereby he settler would be able to perform his duties by stock raising instead of cultivation; Mr. Rogers dealt wilh the question of interest on pre-emptions and while he said he could not speak for lhe government he was prepared lo strongly urge tbo abolition of interest charges and felt that bis recommendation would bo accepted by the government. The speaker spoke very strongly on tbo necessity of railway development in western Canada to cope with the enormous increase In the area under cultivation. He strongly criticized the late administration's railway policy. The building methods pursued In the construction of the Grand Trunk Pacific were scathingly denounced. He referred to the length ot time required for completion and the cost of the.. enterprise. He contrasted the methods pursued by the two governments In the liuilding of the Hudson Bay railway. Ho announced the calling for tenders for the construction of 05 miles in addition to the 1SS under construction. It was expected that the part would be chosen in 30 days and Immediately contracts would be let for the remaining sections of the road. When tho road was completed it would be found that the docks and other necessary shipping facilities would be constructed. Arrangements had also been made for the keeping open of navigation at Fort William and Port Arthur an additional month which would afford nn outlet for an additional 15,000,000 bushels of grain. Government Ownership Mr, Rogers' announcement on the question of government ownership and operation of terminal elevators created tbo greatest enthusiasm.

PAGE TWO €fce;*aUi? jUtaM TUESDAY JUNE 11 Government Aid Toward Encouragement of Agriculture In view of the appointment of a com mission on agriculture by the provincial government the following letter discussing the systems adopted by various countries for making loans to farms will be found particularly interesting: To the Editor of The Dally News: Sir—The government has announced that a royal commission on agriculture will be appointed early this summer to Inquire Into and report on all matters connected with the improve- | ment and development of agriculture in the province. It is now up to the Farmers' Institutes, agricultural societies, boards of trade, the press and the public generally to get to work and be prepared to assist the commissioners ln every way possible. British Columbia Is importing annually about $15,000,000 worth of farm produce. Can anything be done to hasten the settlement of our fertile valleys by actual farmers? Can anything be done to make farming more pleasant and profitable for those already engaged In the business? Can anything be done' to encourage and enable them to bring more land under profftabe cultivation? These are some of the questions that will be considered. Evidently the first thing to be done ls to make a thorough Investigation of conditions ln the province, and next to investigate what ' is reported to have been accomplished in other countries and from their experiences and our own Investigations work out a solution of all the questions effecting our agricultural Interests. A brief review of what is being done here and elsewhere may be a help to us in considering what should be done. Our climatic and soil conditions are unsurpassed In the Dominion. The government Is doing a good work on the experimental and demonstration farms and by sending out literature containing the most up to date information on all subjects effecting agriculture. They are building good roads and providing railroad transportation. The Farmers' institutes and agricultural societies are atlso doing a great and important work to help along and make more pleasant and profitable the occupation of farming ln thiB province and yet our farmers are not producing much more than 50 per cent of -what we consume. Agriculture Is the foundation upon which rests all other permanent industries and no country can long continue prosperous where agriculture Ib neglected or depressed. It would appear that agriculture in Canada and thej United States has not received as much attention from the public men of the country as its importance woud seem to demand, all their attention appears to be given to the development of the commercial and manufacturing Inter-eats. They appear to think that H the other Industries are In a Pro***' perous condition, agriculture must necessarily be so too. This mistaken state of affairs has long continued and has resulted tn a general movement of too many of the younger and more progressive men from the farm to the city until today the number of people living In the cities Is altogether out of proportion to those who are liv Ing on the farm. The same conditions xlsted In many of the European countries until about 20 or 30 years*? ago when agricultural conditions became so bad that some of the governments appointed commissions to enquire into and report on the qause. France and Denmark were possibly the first to recognize the fact that if agriculture was to keep pace with the other industries of the country It must be able to take advantage of the most up to date methods known to science in the production and sale of their produce and the industry must be given the same financial facilities that other Industries enjoy. In short the agriculturist •hould be able to borrow all the money he can profitably use, providing he hns -rood security to offer and he should be able to get it on such terms of re- nayment as would enable him to mee' the payments out of the earnings of his farm. Further Investigations have brought out the fact that loans for farmers to be of greatest benefit must extend over periods of from 10 to 50 years and that the rate of Interest should not exOeed 4% per cent and that they should have the privilege of repaying the loan ln full at nny time without bonus or Interest ln advance I do not think there is any monetary Institution in Canada or the United States of America prepared to loan to farmers on the above terms. In many European countries, In Great Britain, in France, Australia and New Zealand they have plans whereby farmers can obtain money on these terms. In Canada the chartered hanks' chief business is to supply money for trade and commerce and manufacturing Industries but they are prohibited from lending to farmers on mortgages. On December 31, 1911 there were, I think. 29 chartered banks In Canada with something like 2,900 offices. Their aggregate capital was a trifle over $107,- 000,000; the total deposits a little over $1,069,000,000. This enormous sum of money was available for the commercial and manufacturing interests of Canada but not one dollar of it can be loaned to furmers on mortgages and only a very small amount Is loaned to farmers on short rote notes and that to a class who least need credit. In the United States agricultural conditions appear to be no better than In Canada, notwithstanding the fact that the government maintains one of the most up to date departments of agriculture In the world and spends millions annu- lly fn experimental nnd exploratory work. In the New England states it la reported that there are 86,000 deserted farms that were once under cultivation. Out of 435,000 school children attending the public school in Minnesota only 4 per cent contemplate following agriculture as a means of livelihood. The bankers and prominent business men of tho United States have become alarmed at the state of affairs revealed. In 1 4or 15 different states they have formed associations to investigate tho matter to try to find a favorable solu tion of the question. These men are In deadly earnest and aro putting up the money ,to pay the expenses of the Investigation by experts. The other day one firm In Chicago contributed $1,000,000 to one of these associations to help along the work of Investigation and education. The general con census of opinion arrived at is that moro scientific farming and co-operation ln production and selling an.d above all better financial facilities Is the Immediate need of those engaged in agriculture, The campaign ls beginning to show results. President Taft has Instructed the ambassadors to investigate the financial facilities afforded farmers In other countries and to make recommendations which shall be the basis of legislation. The president It Is reported will recommend to con- leglslntion based on these recommendations. The Credit Fonder system, which was developed In France and which is working so satisfactorily in many countries appears likely to be adopted for long term loans. Ireland affords a good Illustration of that long term loans at low rates of interest and co-operation can do. There were about 550,000 tenant farmers in Ireland when tho imperial government passed tbe act authorizing the advance which made it possible for the tenant farmer to purchase his holdings. The tenant farmers at that time were described as "a shiftless bankrupt class without hope or ambition." In 1911 the report shows that 330,000 of these tenant farmers had purchased their holdings and It Is reported that not one of them is in arrears. Cooperation under the Irish Agricultural Organization Societies, commonly called the I.A.O.S. under the direction of Str Horace Plunkett has added greatly to their prosperity. They have 90 societies and 400 co-operative banks. The co-operative banks make small loans for short dates) to enable the farmers more successfully to carry on their season's work. The Irish farmer is now described as having developed Into a self-respecting, prosperous business man and agriculture as a profitable and pleasant industry, In France they hnve a plan known as the Credit Fonder system, under the control and direction of the government. The money is raised by the sale of government guaranteed bonds. This plan provides that a farmer may borrow up to 00 or 70 per cent of the value of his farm for any term of years up to 50. They also have co-operative banks for short time loans. The Bank of France also makes short term loans to farmers amounting in the aggregate to about $50,000,000 annually. They report that the loss by bad debts is infinites-mini, being less than In any other lino of credit they give. And largely as a result of these very liberal financial facilities 90 per cent of the French families own the bouses they, live in and. the land: they: ciiltl- More Dollars for Jingles In June, 1912, 25 persons will make $20.00 each writing short, snappy Post Toasties Jingles most acceptable for a "Toasties" Jingle Book.

Not long ago a flotation of $60,000,000 of railroad slock was offered to the public. U was over-subscribed 32 ^ times The tolal amount of subscriptions amounted to aboul 12,000,000,000 aud ll Is admitted that about 20 per cent of this enormous sum of money belonged lo ,tbo agricultural and working classes. In Germany they have a plan known ns the Land Hchaften system. This is similar to ilio Credll Fonder. They also have co-operative banks for short term loans. In addition to that the imperial bank of Germany each year loans through brokers nbout $60,000,- 000 to the farmers, without loss. In Denmark, co-operation in production and selling has been carried to greater perfection possibly than in any other country. They also have co-operatlvo banks. In all the Blates of the Commonwealth cf Australia, they have systems similar lo the French Credit Fonder system and a description of how It works in one state may be taken as representative of how It works in all. Act No, 1481, passed Dec. 21, 1896, established this system in the state of Victoria, Australia. The act provides for the management of the system by five commissioners and an Inspector general, The commissioners issue mortgago bonds. Such bonds are guaranteed by the government. The money raised by the Bale of such bonds is loaned lo farmers on first mortgage In sums not less than £50 and not more than £2,000 to any one borrower, and up lo 60 per cent of the value of the farm property offered as security. The value to be decided by a valuator appointed by the commissioners. The loans bearing Interest at the rate of 4% per cent payable half yearly and expending over a period up to 30',-i years a sum equal to 6 per cent on the amount borrowed will pay off principal and Interest in 31>A years. The loans may be paid off at any time by paying tbe Interest up to lhe date of repayment and the balance of the principal then remaining due. In some of the other states, New South Wales for instance, none of the principal is paid during the first five years but is repaid during the nvct succeeding 25 years. The total number of applications received by the commissioners from December 24, 1806 to June 30, mil, was'9,407 amounting to a total of £4,612,955; total number of applications grunted 6,770, amounting to £2,906,515; total number of applications for whicli reduced amounts were offered but not accepted woro 1,137, amounting to £819,165; total number of applications declined wero 1,500 ■mounting to £705,870. Of the loans granted £1,599,858 have been repaid, leaving outstanding current loans on June 30, 1911 amounting to £1,306,657. As security for this sum the commissioners hold first mortgages on Improved farm property valued by their own appraiser at £ 2,962,445. The amount of farm property.acquired by foreclosure, nil; reserve fund over and above working expenses to provide for any possible loss £84,768, On Juno 30. 1911, there were only six farmers In arrears and tho total amount of arrears amounted to £68 9s.

On June 80, 1909 jt wns. •l.fffiH.XOl nercs,. an increased area brought under cultivation in nine years of 1,195,1911 andros which is an amount equal lo the total amount brought under cultivation in the state during tbe 100 years ending Juno 30, 1800.

The faPm*lng Industry has increased by leaps and bounds since the introduction of the act authorizing advances to selllers. The exports of farm produce have increased from almost nothing until now $10,000,000 worth of butter 500,000 bales of wool iinnj 5,000,000 carcasses of mutton; they also grow about 10,000,000 bushels of wheat annually and other products of the farm In like proportion, Ills letter is as fol lows: Re Advances to Settlors Act To Alexander Lucas, Esq., Vancouver, B.C. Dear Mr, Lucas—"You will turn New Zealand Into a national pawnshop" was thn cry of the opponents: of the advance.*- lo settlers bill when the same was first promoted while the horrors of a country's bankruptcy and tbe receiver in possession were painted in lurid colors. How long ago' it seems and how lltllo such arguments would seem today for the adminlstrntion and operation of llm measure hns been more tbnn successful. It hns been u triumph of political foresight and judgment. The first act became law hi 18'tV-l and a board wns created l» sit with a superintendent to advise Ond co-operale as to grants for loans. The acl authorized a loan of £'J,000,000 as a beginning and provided for'a maximum rato to be paid for raising the loan at 4 per cent. The minimum advance to be made was £25 and tbe maximum £2,500, repayable In 36 years by half yearly Installments of 3 per cent on tho amount borrowed. The maximum was raised In 1896 to £3,000 and loans wero allowed for a fixed period on freehold security for terms not exceeding 10 years at 5 per cent. In 1899 an amending act reduced tho rate of Interest to •I','* per cent Instead of 5 per cent if paid punctually. On rural freehold advances wore authorized to three-fifths of the valuo of the security and In case of leaseholds to half of the lessees' Interest In his lease. Power wns nlso given to the. board to grant loans under an Installment system on urban and suburban lands fixing a maximum of £2,000 und a minimum of £25. On urban lands power was given lo advance not exceeding three-fifths of the value of lho laud apart from lhe buildings plus half of tho value of the buildings apart from tbe lands nnd on suburban lands on half the value of the land plus half the vnluo of the buildings, while in urban or .suburban land having no buildings, half Hie value of the* land could be loaned Juit only for the erection of buildings. In 1901 the amount authorized was lent out and the people through tholr representatives on both sides of the house of representatives clamored for moro money for those who decided to lake advantage of the provisions of the act and In that year another million pounds was authorized, ln 1903 the margin of security on leasehold lands was reduced from one-half to two-fifths thus making the same terms fo tho leaseholder as the freeholder.! In 1906 the authorization amounted to £5,000,000 and a reserve fund of £50,000 was created and a sinking fund, the contribution to the latter to bo 10 per cent of the gross receipts. Un 1907 the authorization amounted to £11,000,000 and In 1909 a department was established embracing the whole of tho government Investment departments. General power was given to raise up to £1,500.000 a year and the annual contribution to tho sinking fund amounted to 1 per cent of lhe total capital liability at tho time of payment while such fund is to be bold nnd re-invested in mortgnges by the public trustee, a separate stnte department which'has recently been successfully copied in Great Britain. Loans can be granted on first mortgage of lands and improved Innd under 17 different forms of holdings or tenures, No loan will be granted on n lease which provides for absolute forfeiture without compensation) for breach of conditions or if at the end of the lease compensation Is to be allowed only on certain Improvements and not on all improvements. Progress payments are made on iiuilding loans ns the erections are being completed. A fee of 10s 6d accompanies nn application for a loan nnd an officer of the valuation department Inspects and reports to lho board before a loan is granted. The fee for valuation depends on the amount required and 10s fid Is llm minimum fee and for a loan of £3,000 the fee Is £2 2s. Mortgnges are repayable half yeary, payments of principal and Interest combined. They may also bo repaid in whole or ln part at any time. This Is a distinct Innovation. Interest Is at tho rate of 5 per cent redneable to 4'A If payable within 14 days of tho duo date. Special provisions arc made as to repayments during tho currency of the loans nnd also as to readjustments. The success of llie department has been phenomenal. No borrowers have defaulted up to tho last returns and the resumption clauses are apparently mere matters of form. Thousands of settlers havo heen raised from poverty to affluence and I make bold to say that there Is no politician In New Zealand who would dream of advocating a repeal of what hns beon the most heno- flclont act ever passed by the New Zealand legislature. In fact, the sul ject of whether or not the net shot! be repealed Is never discussed. I bin been In tlio New Zealand parllamnT Since I8D9 and have never1 heard anf thing but praise for the measure.

Out of the wealth of his knowledge, and as one who likes the colored man yet knows ids shortcomings, Sir Harry recently advocated the annexation of Cuba hy the United States as thu only means of securing peace and prosperity. The publication ol* tlhe article In the London Times created International interest in the author. Sir Harry Hamilton Johnston, K.C.I!., was horn at Ken nl nylon, London, on June l'i, 1S3S, and was educated at King's college and lhe Royal Academy of Ails. For a. time he studied painting, ami wave promise of becoming a great artist, but the wanderlust led hlm lo abandon ICngland und civilization for u life that lias been full to over rl owl iij-- of adventure. In 1870 lie travelled through the Interior and along the coast of Northern Africa, and lu 1S82 explored Portuguese West Africa and the Congo river, reaeh- (llg many places where while nriii had never been before. In 1S84 he was Chosen in head the scientific expedition to Mount Kilimanjaro, whttlh wus financed by the Royal Society. His career as a British official in far places began In ISKi, when he was ap- polllted vice-consul in Cameroons, and later In the Nleer Coast protectorate and the province of Mozambique. In ISMl he headed the expedition to Lakes Nyasa ami Tanganyika, which led to ihe foundation of the Brlttsh Central Africa m'otectorate and a, wide extension of English territory In the dark continent, l-'rom ISO" to WOT he was com-iil-gen--t-.il ai Tunis, ami In lSl'J became conimander- ■hlef for tho Uganda protectorate and adjoining territories. Tin: fruits of his experience In Africa and his travels in other parts of the world are such books us "River Congo," "The Negro hi Lne Xew World," "British Central Africa." "Life or Livingstone" and "A History of the Colonls-utloii of Africa hy Allen Races." Sir Henry is a member "f the Royal Geographical society and an honorary member of most of the learned and scientific .societies (if the various nations of Europe and America. „■* a globe-trotter of wide experience, Sir ilenrv recently contributed to an English review an article on "Tlio Seamy Kid of Travel" flint should "strike a responsive chord" in the heart of every tourist.

At lhe risk of being considered .unpatriotic, Sir ilenrv asserts that German Bteamshlpti and railroads are the best in the world, and that the hotels of Germany, Austria, Fi-ance anil Hollund are belter and .henper than those of [England. American accommodations he considers very Kood, but "terribly expensive." Italy he lenounees as very bad, both railway ■urs and hotels being cheap, but uu* lomfortable and unsanitary. This Date in History. | The title of "reverend" as now universally applied to ministers of the iospel was lirst used In 1157, so far an he records show.

"Many symptoms," it says, "reveal tho presence in Turkey of animosity toward foreigners which is full of peril. Certain actions of the local authorities are Intolerable. Tbe Havas agency reports that all Christians aged 19 to 45 In the island of MUylene are held as hostages. The Corrlere de la Sera of Milan reports a massacre of Christians at Sailanove on the Asiatic coast, opposite Panios. It ts stated that Germans constructing the Bagdad rail way 50 miles from Aleppo have re quested that a military force be sent to protectt the workmen threatened by the fanaticism of the native population. At Beirut two t*Yeiich newspapers havo been Illegally suppressed. Ac cording to trustworthy Information the authorities at Beirut are decidedly Proncophobe, Their policy its both odious and short sighted.

This tart leading article is much discussed ns the Temps attitude toward Turkey hitherto has been markedly eordinl. Everybody is asking what, the change of.lone means ,and whether il foreshadows active participation by France in the efforts to compel Turkey to come to terms with Italy. tournament and the shoulders are much broader. The growth of outdoor sports Is offered us nn explanation. Football, cricket, cycling and golf have made the modern Englishman of a stouter build than his horse riding ancestors. Cyoling in particular Is still largely followed here. The Increased tendency of families to mnX'e to the suburbs Is causing much anxiety In locnl councils. The subject have heen approached scientifically and many are seeking remedies. The constantly bettering of travelling facilities and the building of attractive home suburbs nt cheaper rents are among the chief causes of the exodus. Local councils desirous of keeping their population nre recommending Improved street lighting, low tax assessments, more freedom in local ordinances, an express train service into tho very heart of the city, an improved omnibus service, trade associations and speolal shopping days. SILK HAT IS LESS IN FAVOR Many Lounge Suits Seen in London- Present Englishmen Bigger Than Ancestors (Bv Dally News Leased Wire.) ■ONDON.

The noticeable increase in the use of the lounge suits is causing complaint and In many quarters Lhe American invasion is hlamed and the prophecy feelingly mnde that the silk bat and the morning coat will soon ceflse to he considered indispensable. At tho last levee held by the King there were several lapses from sumptuary etiquette. Tho court chamberlain will probably issue an official note of the regulations as to dress before the next levee which is fixed for June 13.

They are undoubtedly disappearing, however, in both places, It has been found that armour must be specially manufactured for lhe knights' tournament to bo held nt the Shakespeare England exhibition al Earlscourt on July 11.

Receipts are fall Ing off and expenses arc increasing. One club which has mnny distinguished members in public life Is nearly in solvent. Sixteen well known clubs have disappeared in the last 10 years. Now four of the best in St. James street are considering the advisability of dissolving.
