(Special Cable Dispatch to Central News London.) ~' , ■LYTTLKTON, N, Z„-Feb. 13.—The (following Is the official account of tho doings .of the British Antarctic expe ' dlttb'n of 1910, complied by Command- et' Evans from Captnln Scott's personal dairy and the records Qf the expedition: * 6n Jan. 4, 1B12, Commander Evans left Captain S.cptt and his four com pniilong to'-continue tho Journey to tho pqte. Captain Scott's party marched an average, of 12 mileB a day all the •; Way to the pole,, and they reached the pole- or\ Jan. 17, about 156 statute .-'.miles from the spot where Commander- Evans turned In 87 degrees, 35 minutes. The first day at tho *-ole was cloudy with a mock sun, The woond day, Jan. 18, was clearer and the sun visible. Sights were taken, for which purpose Scott used a four-Inch theodolyte, . Cajtain Amundsen used a sextant: with an artificial horizon. Tha fixing df the pole by the two explorers " differed hy only half a mile practically locating the same spot. Scott's observations gave latitude 80 degrees, 69% minutes. The party morched the extra half mile taking with them their motor sledge and there planted tin union jack in latitude 88. 'They had i?. previously picked -up Norwegian dog tracks And they followed- these to tho Norwegian catap which was "situated wllhln three miles of the pole. The track of the Norwegian dogs was ef faced by drifts at intervals. The narty found all the records and the gear left by Amundsen. Sastrugl from two directions marked at the pole gave evidence of a slight blizzard since Ainundgen erected his tent. The temperature at the pole was about 20 degrees below zero. The surface like that bf the Barrier was soft, no crust. It was found'from snow collected from any depth on melting was also unlike tho Barrier snow and gave very little moisture. Ten photographs of Captain Scott and his party were taken at the pole. The films were covered- n Cape EvanB together tvith two photo graphs of the Norwegian tent a: Captain Scott's party found it. Return Journey The return Journey over the plateau was marked by a series of good marches^ In medium weather. The temperature averaged 20 to 30 de- grees below zero and the.marches va ried un. to 18 miles daily to the top of Beardmore glacier. Both the de pots on the plateau, one 89 degrees and the other under Mo.urit Darwin, SS degrees seven minutes south, were secured. Before descending Beard- ft rnipre glacier Dr. Wilson and Lieutenant Bowers visited Buckley island and climbed to a large Nunatack at tho top of the glacier. *•■ Here they spent some time making a large collection of fossil-bearing sandstone and coal In quantities. The fossils should finally ;i settle the age of the latest scdlmen- * tory deposits yet found In Victoria land and are the best ever obtained in this quadrant. ." Leaving Buckley Island and going '* down the glacier, they passed Mount Klnzey, a' tifingn lfi cent dolomite weak having ait altitude of 11,000 feet and forming an admirable steering point. When they reached a small depot un der Cloudmaker mountain they made another halt for. geological Investigation. From the side of Cloudmaker mountain fossils of much greater age were found in the light stone and a total,of 35 pounds of geological spjjct-- [,- mens were carefullpr packed. *' These specimens were taken forward by the: party to their last camp and are now in' possession of the expedition, ,«_^ Bad Weather -From Cloudmaker - mountain to the foot ot Beardmore glacier the surfaces encountered by the party consisted of the same deep snow as on the way up and this fact, together with bad weather, severely hampered their search. The weather was about normally thick, With snow crystals falling, the surrounding land being only occasionally visible. r ' Crfntoln Scott dates the beginning ^oit the failure of Petty Officer-Edgar ' Evans from tho time of reaching thc pole. He was a great anxiety to them -oil the plateau and In the descent of the Beardmore glacier when the warty got among very rough Ice,.Evans fell Injuring his head and sustaining serious -concussion. Evans' Condition Bod During the whole of-the descent his ^condition delayed the --arty. ,On Feb. 17 while on, the march Evans* foot 'Worked out of his ski and ho was omoelled to fall out to adjust It." The party moved along and, seeing he was no; following, they cnhipe-Q and cooked 'a meal, anticipating that Evans would soon reach them. When the meal was ready and he had not arrived the party went back and found him in a state of collapse. He bravely trlqd to go forward, but had to be placed on a sledge and died a natural death within two hourB of reaching tho tent. Thls-de- lay, as the captain stated ln his diary, greatly weakened the party and made an Inroad into their surplus provisions which was serious in view of the fact that the season was unduly advanced. Owing to the lateness of the season and the subsequent falling temperature the surface became sand-like, as is well known in colder climates. Ice crystals which melt under the friction caused by a' sledge running over them nt. higher temperatures cease to do so when the thermometer falls to 30 be- low zero and become cutting edges. The low temperature complained of by Scott accounts for'the slowness of the party's progress over the Barrier. The average distance between depots was 65 miles, which, not allowing for bad weather, meant that the party mun average over nine miles a day. The food and fuel stores at each depot gave a full ration at this speed for a week. The best day's march of the southern party on the Barrier was approximately nine miles, falling at later stage!) t.) as low as eight miles. The failure to maintain a higher speed was evidently due to the falling condition' 0f Captain Oates, this being a constant tax on the-energies of the party and' rapidly weakened them at a time when they had to face persistent winds and frequent blizzards. But despite the hopeless nature of the outlook they never relinquished their gallant struggle, but fought on heroically to the bitter end. - As recorded In a previous despatch the search party found their tent on Nov. 4, 1912. It was half covered with snow and the sledge with their gear was completely covered. The tent was well spread with an Inner tent placed on poles. The bodies having been Identified, the inner tent was placed over them and a large cairn of snoW was erected and a cross placed on the top, bearing the following record: _ Memorial Cairn. "Left this cross and cairn erected over the remains of Captain ■ R. F. Scott, C. V. O., JR. N.; Dr. E. A. Wilson and Lieut. H. 'R. Bowers, R. N., as a slight token to perpetuate their gallant and successful attempt to reach the pole This they did reach on the 17th day of January, 1912', after tho Norwegians had already done so on the first day of December, 1911. Also to commemorate their two galant comrades, Captain R. E. G.

Mr. Chute said only about three per cent of Nova Scotia apples went west, 80 per cent went to England. Two years ago 200,000 barrels went to Germany and It was a most satisfactory trade. Apples were sent from Nova Scotia over to South Africa. But in the end, he thought, the western market would be the greatest market of, tha future. ' The shipping time to the west had been shortened this year, some'of it going In five to seven days aa compared with seven to 14 days last year. Mr, Chute said ordinary apple pickers were paid $1.60 a day, (Barrels cost 25c to 28c each; province barrels cost 4Bc each. "'Why, I- bought barrels In Ontario and brought in coopers and made up barrels for 40c," said Mr. Chute. In answer to a question Mr. Chute salt} he would deliver apples/this year' at the shipping point at $2 n barrel.

The Canadian Pacific railway always snld tr. did not have them. In the past the Nova Scotia barrel had been 180 pounds of fruit, but he thought there should be uniformity of grades .and barrels. i A vote of thanks-to' Mr. Chute W'isi moved by Dr. Schnffner nnd seconded by C. J, Thornton. - * I promises, he had* made when he was leader of the opposition. The admiralty had been cohsulte'd, and' on th)e advice received lt had been decided that Canada, should- do her share to contribute'to the defence of tho empire. There was no reason why the question should be submitted to the people. Then; came the voting with the. result recorded. As Boon- as the (figures for the second division were annouriced, Mr. Mondou proposed his amendment and spoke in support of it until after midnight, The amendment was W follows: "This house, while prepared to adopt protective measures for the territory of Canada, declines to concur in the said resolution because it contains provisions tending to impose upon Canada who has no voice in imperial affairs, a share in the oxternal responsibilities and naval defence of the ent* plrc outside Canadian territory, the only portion of the empire In which th« Canadian people/ have constitutional authority." When Mr. Mondou had finished Sir Wilfrid' took exception to the amendment. He said that It was not a proper amendment, but ,a motion to negative the proposed resolution. Speaker Sproule was Inclined to agree. He Bald-the proposed amendment was at variance with the principle of the main, motion and was designed to replace It. He ruled it out of order. Mr. Gullbault Of Jollette then proposed a fourth a^endrflent as follows: "This house does npt how concur in the resolution, but declares that the present resolution be referred back to the committee of the whole with instructions that ItJ be amended by the inclusion of provisions annulling and abrogating the law sanctioned by his excellency the. ^governor-general In May, 1910, arid entitled'An act respecting the naval serVlcg'of Canada,' and of stipulations tha-t the present resolution shall not became effective until after a majority of the people has by plebiscite given Its approval thereto." This was ruled;,out of order by the speaker because It referred to a statute on the statute books of the Dominion. The hialn' resolution was then adopted on a vote of 115-83, a government majority of 32, * The following seven Nationalists bolted arid voted with the opposition against the government: Gullbault, Jollette; Barrette, Bethler; Lamarche, Nicolet; Achim, Labellc; Mondou, Yamaska; 'Boulay, RimouskI; and Belle- mare, Maskinonge.

VICTORIA, B. C, Feb. 13f—The.explanation and elaboration of the four measures crystallizing the extended railway policy of the government now before the house occupied almost two hours of yesterday's sitting of tho legislature the prime minister'giving a most comprehensive outline of the necessity for any expected result of thu new legislation. In rising to move tho second reading of bill No. 30, which provides for a provincial guarantee of *10-000,000 of terminal' bonds of the Canadian Northern Pacific railway, the premier said that he need hardly explain to the houae that this l-J enactment which the government of the day feels every justification for in order-that lt may carry out to the full- ebt extent the railway policy of a few years a^o confirmed by thG electorate of the country and which has done &o much for the development ot uie province within that period of time. There were many who said that the project to build the line through the Thompson and Fraser valleys In face of th experiences of the Canadian Pacific was almost a foolish one. Tho-je who had lived here in the time of tho Canadian Pacific and had noted the difficulties of construction felt that the advance of the Canadian Northern engineers wero too ambitious. "Is it not, then, most gratifying," Premier McBride continued, "that today from my place here In ihe legislature 1 can officially say the Canadian Northern Pacific between New Westminster ami Katnloops Is over 80 per cent, completed, steel has been iald aa far as Port Yale und with the completion of one block It may be completed to Slsco ru the vicinity of the cantilever bridge over the Fraser at that point and between Slsco and Kamloops the work in connection with the six or seven bridges is well under way, and before high water mark of 1013 It will completed, and unless sonic unto\V-ird circumstances arise steel m tho Canadian Northern may be laid right f"jtn the coast into KamloopH. In addition to this a distance of 100 miles up tin North Thompson river has beon graded. The Canadian Northern will now proceed to lay tracks from its ...:nnln:.: east pf the mountains toward the Yet low'head pass. Already they have arranged for thc distribution j[ m\i.iing camps through tho summit ot the Yellowhead pass to link up with ciie contractors operating along tbe North Thompson, so that we may now look forward-to the fruirition of plans that ought to provide for tiie completion of the llnesfrom the coasl to the summit (MUt there making contact with steel in the province of Alberta by December 31 of this .year, or at any rate very early next year, a feat never before equalled in the history ot railroad construction In the Dominion of Canada. AH this, too, is being done w!Ui..iU very much boasting on tlie part ->£ ti">e corporation, but in that quiet and effective way whieh has always characterized the undertakings of these two marvellous Canadians, Sir William Mackenzie and Sir Donald Mann. The people of British Columbia have a first mortgage on the railway lines, and when the terminals are completed at Vancouver, Port Mann, New Westminster and Victoria they will have a firs* mortgage on them as well. The terminals were not Included in the first bill because it was impossible to forecast at thnt time tlie nature and extent these works would be. It Is interesting for me to he able to inform the house this afternoon that the original guarantee Involved an expenditure of *21,OOQ,000 for the first1" 600 miles of the railway and to be able to say that the expenditure In connection with the mileage of the road to date has been $2-1,000,000, and that the company hns expended $10,000,000 moro than received from the sale of Its bonds raised because of the provincial guarantee. This ought to bo tnken as an earnest of the substance of this Company and of their ability to give us ii lirie*'of railwny of the very highest slnndard. "While wo are asking the house to pledge the credit of the country for these works which are tn be established at different points, It ought to be recognized thnt the results which will follow will Inure to the benefit of the entire province nnd to that of our sister provinces to the east as well. The major portion of tlie money to be raised will be spent in Vancouver, and I wish to say that Vancouver, In my opinion, Is destined to become the great distributing centre of western *Canuda. If the history of Vancouver during the past 2ii years is to be repented during the next 30 years it will become the largest and most Important commercial centre In Cnnndu." Speaking of the part Mr. Matson played in the settlement of the reserve, he said: "Mr. Matson nt my request undertook this work and on his own undertaking carried it out successfully, and I say here in this house today that but for his efforts the Songhees reserve question would not have been settled as It has been settled, and I should not now be able to present to the house and country this bill providing for railway terminals In this capital city, ami which gives the standing to Victoria a-3 an Important railway centre which today it enjoys. If it had coat thin country .5500,000 to secure the accomplishment of the results in this connection that have been largely brought: about by Mr. Matson's endeavors I do not think that it would have been ai all an extravagance." In dealing with the Pacific Great Eastern bill, the premier said that in the Interim the work was going on apace, Messrs. Foley, Welch & Stewart have been able to proceed to tho point where they have a force of 15,000 men and' construction covering a distance of upwards of 100 miles of the railway and to finish the survey of thc reat of the mileage, and according to Mr, Stewart the road will be coirniletcd in two years from date from the city of Vancouver right through to Fort George, It la the Intention of the government to devote the sum of $400,00'.' toward the construction of the proposed bridge at Second Narrows. There- has been some agitation at North Vancouver because the building of the rail way was undertaken at Newport in- stend of near North Vancouver. I would like now to allay any fears on tho part o^North Vancouver. Wc have the bonds of the company in our possession, and We know the plans of the company.

CITY OF MEXICO, Fell. 13.--At five o'clock this evening it was reported that General bi'eiz had demanded tlie surrender of the -National palace. All through the day the rebel batteries and heavy guns were throwing a fierce fire of shrapnel around the palace, •! Many of these dropped into the Zb- calo which fronts the buiidin-? and federal soldiers were compelled to move to cover. Ik-foro dark the fire on both sides was intermittent, hut apparently les?- vigorous from the federals. Tho government troops were receiving ammunition in small consignments, and It was said that they Werp running short, The fifth day of the battle began at eight o'clock, u battery of federal artillery opening fire on * the arsenal, but although tbo bombardment was kept up without cessation for an hour or more, it bad no appreciable effect oh the rebel defence. That X>lai*: had prepared for the threatened movement by the government which Madero promis- elwould ho put through by today, was shown by the fact that he had statfori- el- sharpshooters on the roofs of the adjoining buildings, had despatched a force outside his lines to the west of the city and had placed hia heaviest guns in position commanding all tbo approaches to his stronghold. Gen. Huerta, commanding the fedeir*- ols, had promised to rush the'fortifications of the rebels, but held back Iri- stead to employ his artillery from points of vnptage. Only once, during th^j early part of thp day dld'the infantry cunie into action. Madero'!! promise that the subjugation of Diaz would be swift and terrible today because lhe government had planned to surround lilm completely and then pound his positions with their heaviest guns was in no way fulfilled. Only at times was the bombardment of the day as heavy as yesterday and then by rebel guns. The federal fire generally was slow, although since It came from various directions, it was persistent. On the whole, the rebel commander's orders to his men were to conserve their fire and iittJe am- . munition was wasted. No chance was lost, however, to throw shells and hl$ machine guns and riflemen effectually prbvonted the near approach of the federals. His greatest energies were displayed in the line of fire toward the palace, where big l.I-rv guns scarred the walls and doors of that ancient structure and cleared tin* square In front of the building. jThc battle lasted ail day. broken only at brief intervals, for the most part by federal orders to cease firing when the officers were changing positions. .

JOKE SHOWS TROOPS READINESS The Kaiser ana the members of his general staff may not be as mortified aa one would suppose over the joke Played on the Strassburg garrison by a lunatic wlj.Ii a fertile imagination, says an exchange. Now, as during lh. famous affair at Kopeniclt, the worlil may have Us laugh at the rigidity ot German military discipline, but after the fun 'subsides H must be a very solid satisfaction to the war lord to know that his troops do stand ready to obey orders at a moment's notice and unquestioning. It Is like the recent "regrettable" error In one of tho frontier department of France, where a partial mobilization was set on foot because of a misinterpretation of orders. Th&; alacrity with which the recruits rallied to their colon* was commented upon with satisfaction through ou: France, and the various officials implicated in the affair were duly—rewarded. Students of racial psychology may find in the Strassburg ami Ifopen" lck affairs what is supposed to be >a characteristic manifestation of the German lemperament. ThG Teutonic humor, to the outside world, is apt tc have a massive tread. At least, the French are fond of saying that if a German wants to be gay he climbs up on the table.

Lord Selkirk's first band of Red river colonists did not reach York factory, on Hudson bay, until late' in September, 1811. Accordingly Miles Macdoncll, the young United Empire Loyalist leader of the expedition, whose position was a troublous one, encamped for the winter a few miles from the Hudson's Bay post. Quickly a group of comfortable log huts was erected which was known as the "Nelson Encampment," hut some of the colonists wore dissatisfied and on February 14, 1812, Macdonell wrote to Cook (governor of York factory) of a serious mutiny. Fourteen of the company "to a man" had set their officers at defiance, after having burnt one of the huts "in a most audacious manner." Happily the mutineers were not strong enougli to carry out their threats, and the next day Mac- Imn.-ii sent three of them "under the denomination uf prisoners, with a party to ding provisions for themselves from the fm:tory." During the long winter the colonists Suffered to some extent, despite oil precautions, from scurvy. The Ice in tin- Nelson river did- not break up much liefore June audit 'fwas well on toward autumn" when the company, numbering about 70, reached the Red river.

Port Edward, New Townsite Adjacent to Grand Trunk Pacific Terminus Is Strong Factor in Commercial Development of North Pacific Coast Port Edward, B. C„ the new town- site adjacent to Prince Rupert, which has been planned and laid out by expert engineers as an Industrial annex to the Grand Trunk Pacific terminus, supplying the industrial sites and facilities which Prince Rupert will be unable to afford to the extent that will bo required, is making a strong bid for the industrial business of the north Pacific coast of Canada. - The new townslte has a host of advan tages in Its favor topographically and such excessive care has been devoted to the platting of the townsite and harbor that those who have been over tlu ground and who have seen the plans declare that Port Edward will be remarkably well equipped to compete In the coast business of the future. Port Edward will, besides its ad- vantages of a fine natural townslte ant1, an harbor lhat admits of the building of pier wharves with a total dockage capacity of no less than 16,960 feet and that will accommodate, without dredging or any other treatment, th-< largest vessel afloat, offer abund- ance of cheap power and water and comparatively low taxation. As far as power Is concerned the Prince Rupert Hydro-Electric company, which could have found accom modutlon at Prince Rupert but which came to the conclusion that Port Edward would be the Industrial centre, is now Duttlng in a Deisel oil engine plant at a cost, approximately, of $185,000. This Is only temporary and will be replaced by a large water power plant as soon as the company is able to bring it Into action. Transportation, as far as Port Edward is concerned,' will be very good right from the start. Boat and rail service will connect the townsite with the outside markets and also with Prince Rupert, thc future great city which Port Edward will serve. These means of transportation will be sup plemented at once by a governmejjt road which Is already surveyed and on which work will be started In the spring. Later, when the traffic warrants It, electric cars will be added. The sources of raw materials are ciose to Port Edward. Timber is olen- titu] and include such woods as hemlock, spruce, both red and yellow cedar, fir and excellent pulp woods. There is an excellent yellow cedar available at a very short distance from tie townslte which is particularly well adapted to the manufacture of furniture and for building boats which will be much in demand as a result of the development of the tremendously valuable fisheries. Within 30 miles there Is excellent material for the manufacture of cement. This has been assayed and is known to be high grade. There Is a heavy denosit of granite within 18 miles and also sand, gravel and lime, within a short distance. Minerals, which arc abundant, includ'i gold; silver, copper and coal. Mention has been made of the fishing ' dustry. Very few people ot Canada realize a tithe of what this industry will mean in Northern British Co- lumbla. Sir Oeorge Doughty, of Orimsby, England, who Is an authority of high standing in matters relative lo the fishing industry and who is already establishing a great plant to encage in the northern British Columbia fisheries, has stated that If the fishing grounds adjacent to Port Edward and Prince Runert are properly handled, the industry will afford work foi a population of 100,000 people. "Whale, herring, salmon, halibut, cod, pi-awns, crabs and clams are present In enormous numbers. An official of Importance connected with the Grand Trunk Pacific has stated privately that that road has practically decided to run a halibut train to the eastern United Slates and eastern Canadian markets, being convinced of the fact that British Columbia halibut can compete very successfully with halibut from other sources. The fishing grounds alone, at the doors of Port Edward, will insure a great industry to that Industrial centre. The markets open to Port Edward Industries will be almost boundless. Immediately back of that point; and of Prince Rupert, lies a country that will form an empire in Itself. Here will be developed a great market for timber, furniture, fish and, in fact for .n.ythlng that Can be manufactured at Port Edward or Prince Rupert. The Queen Charlotte Islands, not far from Pert Edward, arc developing rapidly and will contribute much to the prosperity of that town and of Prince Rupert. Moreover, the entire country tributary to Port Edward and Prince Rupert north and south, and also Alaska and the Yukon, will bo supplied from the Grand Trunk Pacific terminus and its industrial annex, Port Edward- The northern trade can be syp- pl.ed from the points just mentioned some two days quicker than from Van- --ouver and other southern ports. This will undoubtedly be the menns of attracting large bonded warehouses from thc United States as well as general dlFlrlhutlng warehouses as centres for eastern Canadian manufactures, More and more grain Is being used lu the Orient every year. China is only awakening to a realization of her possibilities. Japan Is progressing every year, Grain and herring from Portt Edward will find an Infinite market in the Orient because the, route from that nart to Oriental ports is shorter ■•y manv miles than the routes even from V--"Couver. Pdrt Edward Is nearly 100 per cent efficient as an industrial townsite because Its founders saw what was wanted nnd, using tho excellent materials lhat nature afforded them at Port Edward, they laid out their work accordingly. Bearing in mind the enormous oro* fftn that early Investors In Prince Ru perl, lots have made already, lt wl' b*t very Interesting to watch the first purchasers at Port Edward. The sale will begin In al] parts of Canada this spring. Messrs, Harrison, Gamble & Co., Prince Rupert, B. C, and Messrs, Hall & Floyer, Douglas and View Streets, Victqrla, B. C, are joint directing sales agents. mm I Aftlf Thc FebnwiT Victor Records LlVrV/I\ Are On Sale DON'T MISS THE OPPORTUNITY OF HEARING THESE AT ONCE, A8 THERE ARE SOME EXCEPTIONALLY FINE NUMBERS ON THIS MONTH'8 LIST.

WILL FIRE ON STRANGE AIRSHIPS Bill Being Rushed Through British Parliament—Spies Hover Over Coasts of England (By Daily News Leased Wire.) LONDON, Feb. 13.—The British p.iiliumcnt is rushing through nn aerial navigation bill which will expose any foreign airship travelling over England to the risk of being fired upon under certain specified conditions, although the state of war may not exist between this country and that whence tlie airship has flnwn. No secret is mado of the fact that the bill Is designed to check German exploits of this kind, For several months past at Intervals there have been reports nf mysterious flights of airships over one or another parts of the country nnd the introduction of the measure '.onpled with the governmental request t.-» the opposition not to delay Its pro- gre-Js through parliament Is taken to mr-an that the government has waked to the fact that foreign airships have actually flown .over English territory, Col. Seeley, minister of war, introduced the bill last Friday afternoon. It prohibits tho passage of air craft over certain areas or lf the government deems It necessary, over the whole const lino of the United Kingdom and adjacent' territorial waters. If nny aerial vessel infringes this law nropur officers shall be entitled, after giving a prescribed warning signal, to flro nt or into any such air craft and use nny and every other means' to prevent nn Infraction of the law. This bill will become .law before ninny days, having passed Its second reading on Monday, Its- remaining -"tages In the commons Were passed In a single session on Tuesday. The bill will be taken to the lordB early next week. There was practically no debate In the commons. The proceedings trok place after midnight In the session of both Monday and Tuesdty, On it.-, second reading Col. Seeley said: "I would point out to the house that this bill Is not aimed at air cr.-fi of any foreign power hut rather at preventing mischievous persons, possibly fr.-m oversea hovering over piaces where there are combustible stores,' to the great Inconvenience -if i';e people of this country." Papers like the Dally MUil scoff at such a suggestion and dcclnre that the urgency given the\ measure is due to frequent reports of the appearance of unknown airships over various parts of England. The London Times yester • day had an editorial stating that the visits of the foreign airships were be- coming unpleasantly frequent .'They have a way of appearing over our perts JuBt after nightfall or before dawn coming no one knows whence, nnd going nobody knows where. II would seem either they have a prediction for following our coastline or they pnss unnoticed possibly at a greater height, . across our territory. During the last four or five months they have been seen over Shcemea-j, Portsmouth, Dover, Liverpool and on two occasions over Cardiff. Thr-ir course has never been traced. Thev hover at a given spot and then dlatp-' pear. These'circumstances not only gives a surreptitious air nhout their visits but raises the unple-is-.ijt suspl- eipn that their visits may be more freuuent than wo know. It Is an Intrusion which ,wc have a rlpht to resent. Its motives are not _ likely to bj friendly nor enn. we flatter ourselves that the beauty of a blrdseye view of our ports Is so great as to lead foreigners to spend so much money to derive aesthetic gratification from it," Col, Seeley'In the commons yesterday, replying to a question, said Germany possessed five military airships of a rigid typp and large size, capable of being safely used at night anil of currying and discharging quantities of high explosives on to British dock,** N.

THEFT OF CROWN JEWELS 8TILL SHROUDED IN MYSTERY (By Daily News Leased Wire.) LONDON, Feb. 13.—The myatery ot the theft of crown Jewels from Dublin castle In" 1007 had another public uirlnc In tho commons today, Augustln-. Elrroll, chief secretary for Ireland, de clfired omphatically that "nothing has been discovered to explain tho mystery of the. theft or to justify the arrest ana prosecution of anyone." He added: "The story that anyone ia being shielded Is a lie and I am sorry It has been lately revived In1 connection with the name of Lord Haddo. The intrbductlon of his name' U a particularly cruel outrage, for he wan not in, Ireland for months before or after tho robbery. He ban no connection with the 'matter."

HOUSE SUSTAINS r H NAVAL POLICY s (Continued from page one.) was absurd to say that a policy of a Canadian navy is a separatist policy ln view of the fact that tho British born people of Australia had decided in favor of a navy of their own and against contribution. Ho was certain that the member from' Brantford, Mr. Cockshutt, would never have declared the Laurier policy a separatist policy IE his manufacturing friends were able to produce even tbe semblance ol a warship. Dr. Warner expressed tlie view that the visit of Premier Borden to England last summer has re suited in a good deul of harm, Hitherto Canada has been paraded as the good child of the empire, but now, as a result of the developments In -con net-tion with the food tax proposals, Canadians are being told by certain British'journals that they are too' precocious. Canadians are now being lectured instead of praised. The naval emergency, Dr, Warner sold, was a myth. Mr, Poster In his speech - admitted that the admiralty memorandum does not establish ono and fell back on alleged confidential Information received by the "premier As a British subject he opposed tho contribution of the three dreadnoughts beca'use It would add to the burden of thc British taxpayers. Dr. Warner said the people of the west were not as keenly Interested In the government's naval policy as In tho Question of wider markets. He closed with .a demand that the -nvernment should pass a redistribution bill and submit the naval question to the country. Sir Wilfrid 8peaki After tlie conclusion of Dr, Warner's speech Sir Wilfrid Laurier rose to speak to the Vervllle amendment, and was received with cheers by his followers. He said that an agreement had been arrived at to divide .on the government's proposal tonight and It would not be departed from, would not huve risen ugaln but for the amendment which had been moved by -".he member from Malsonneuve and he did not propose to discuss anything apart from that. Sir Wilfrid then said that he had listened to the speech made by Mr. Lamarche, the member for Nicolet, In the afternoon and un-, dcrsiaod him to take the view that the Verville amendment would applv to His own amendment calling for a Canadian navy and not to the proposals of tllfi government. Obviously that was not the case. The Vervllle amendment applied to both proposals. In his opinion lt was a proposal which the government could not In vlow of pledges made by tho premier before the. election, well reject now. The quostlon of the Canadian navy, he went on to say, was as old as confederation. It was first mentioned In the militia act introduced by Cartler In 1868. Then lt was taken up In a concrete form at the Imperial conference of 1902. On that occasion the Canadian' ministers had submitted a memorandum In which they, undertook the task of undertaking tho problem of the naval defence of the Dominion and expressed the hope that they would be able to build ui) In Canada an efficient naval re- "^fl^l The Broadest, Most Comprehensive White Event We've Held in Years, Providing Superior Qualities, Extensive Assortments and Very Unusual Values . * We begin this Important White event after weeks of careful thought, planning and painstaking preparations and with tho determination to make it a WHITE EVENT EXTRAORDINARY, we realized early, the tremendous task confronting us, and obstacles to be overcome, before we oould hope to surpass tho splendid records att? ined by our former "White Wear events.

This proposal had been before the peoplo for 10 years and he was ■no- aware that ihe principle it involved had ever been challenged by anyone. It was put into concrete -form by the adoption by parliament of the .retvolutlon of March, 1909. It. had not occurred to anyone that an Ideal so long before the public would need to bo submitted to the people. After tbe adoption of that resolution, however, the Conservatives as a- matter of nartv policy .decided to depart from it. .They experienced a change of heart and de- clitedT that the proposal of tho lute government to build a navy should bo referred to the people. It would be remembered, however, that Mr. Borden had expressed more than one opinion on the subject. Before parliament and the people he had pledged himself that any proposal In regard to the naval defence should be submitted to the people. When tho proposal of thc late ■government was being considered Mr. Monk moved that the Canadian naval plan, as well as the general question ni.udlng that of contribution should b3 submitted to the people. Mr. Borden moved a substitute amendment limiting the matter to the Canadian naval proposal, but when that was defeated the Conservatives supported the proposal of Mr. Monk. From this Sir Wilfrid proceeded to draw the conclusion that when the last general elec- Uons were held Mr. Borden was pledg-, ed to consult the Canadian people not only In regard to the question of thu navy, but in regard to the question of a contribution. Premier Replies Premier Borden was received with enthusiasm when he rose to reply. The house, he said, was indebted tithe leader of the opposition for his lecture on the desirabllit" of public men fulfilling their pledges. It was nartlcularly interesting In view of hie own record between 1S87 and 1011. Sir Wilfrid, it would appear, seemed disposed in this Instance to accept the leadership of the member for Malson- neuve. He was prepared to declare that the amendment whicli ho had submitted was not the proper one, but should have Included the proposal mado by Mr. VervH.e, He had once more retired behind the lines of Torres Vedrus. Ho would remind tho leader of tho opposition that In the very Bhapo In which he bad proposed tht- amendment to which Sir Wilfrid had referred he bad stated that the Conservative policy would be the policy which had recently been submitted to the house. He had declared on that occasion that if tho Conservatives came Into power they would consult tho admiralty. If the admiralty ox- pressed tho view that thore exists an emergency they would come to i-ar- linmont and ask that Canada should do her fair share. The government was not, .n view uf this, In any way pledged tj seek the mandate of the people. He wculd also remind thc leader of tho opposition! that when he (Sir Wilfrid) wus pressing a permanent policy of a Canadian navy -Mr. Monk wanted to refer the question to the people but ha had declined to do so. He --alii there was .no need to adopt such a course, He ventures that the Conservatives Should support something that be did nut approve of in tho past. "I will tell my honorable friend," declared Mr, Borden, "that we do not propose tJ do anything of tho kind." Mr. Borden went on to say that on Feb. 3, 1910, he hud moved a resolu tion declaring that a proposal of Unkind submitted to the house should no'' be submitted to the people. The proposal, now submitted was In exact accordance with that resolution. "Wo believe," he said, "that the ox- ucr-.diture of this sum in accordance with the facts and the wishes of the admiralty Is a step which the people of Canada arc called upon to take as a token of our self-respect and as a guarantee that tho ties which bind us to tho empire shall not be broken." Members nf the opposition, auld Mr. Borden, were in favor of a navy which as ho understood it, was to be built In Canada. Later on, In the course of consideration he would submit some facts which would demonstrate what the construction of ships In Canada would mean jn the way of cost and deity. No one would doily to Canadians the courage and the right to tnke ->arti In the battles of the empire, but it was to bo remembered that in a new country like this it was a different mat; ter to attract people to a navy. The Liberals would do nothing until tha .ships had been built and tho men trained. They were not Inspired with a true desire to do something In a time of emergency. The proposal of the government was not to hand over 1*5.000,000. The money would bo spent by the government by the best expert advice the admiralty could give. The ships would not pass away from the ownership of Canada. If later on Canada had a navy of its own, the ships would be subject to recall, bur they would not be taken from any theatre of Imperial danger without due notice being given to the Imperial government. "We do not believe It to he the der Biro of the Canadian people to have' this question submitted to thorn," declared Mr. Borden. "The question wns pronounced upon on Sept, 21, 1911." The Vervllle sub-amend ment and the Laurier amendments were then re* Jected on votes of 122-75, a government majority of 37. Col. McLean oi Queen's Suhbury, Libera], voted -with tho government. Otherwise the division was confined to party lines. PAGE SIX Cto -wt-fwiir FRIDAY .

Opp. Queen'* Hotel MAIN LAKE WATER CAUSE OF DANGER Allan Loan Explains Why he in West Arm Is Treacherous—Not Sunshine or Current. Water from the main Kootenay lake; which never freezes, ia the cause ol tii- treacherous nature of the Ice on the west arm and not the rapid current or the sunshine. This watj pointed out yesterday .by A'ltan'Loan.,' ;i pioneer steamboat captain of Kootenay, who has observed weather conditions In this fliatrlct. closely for many winters. "It is this water, comparatively warm, which comes, down from the main lake whieh makes the Ice on the arm j*o fearfully dangerous directly the heavy frosls cease," sald~Mr. Lean. "As long as it Is freezing hard the effect of the main lake water is overcome, hut under weather conditions such as We have experienced during the past two or three days the Ice Is always very dangerous. Water travels down the arm at a speed of probably one mile per hour or thereabouts. Thai means that it is only a matter of some 20 hours before tho Ice Is weakened. I have frequently observed that Ice which one day Is* sufflclntly thick tc carry a team of horses is 3G hours late'' not more than half an Inch in thickness. "1 mention this," reriiarked Mr. Lean. "aa a warning to skating enthusiasts and to ranchers on the west arm win. are making: a practice of crossing or the ice. Last Sunday the ice was strong enough to stand a very great weight; next Sunday, unless wc get another very cold snap, It Is likely t< bo exceedingly treacherous. The path of the current is, of course, most dangerous, as that Is the place where thi warm water from the main hike first lias its effect."
