Privllegea of Foreigners Widely Extended���Lines Revert to Government In Forty Years. v Peking, Sept. 11.���-The project for a great scheme of Chinese railways which holds the foremost place in Dr. Sun Yat Sen's program for the modernization of China, has commanded the support of the Peking government and It may involve a great extension of the privileges -of the foreigners in thc country and possibilities of an Immense increase in Chinese foreign trade. The government has authorized Dr. Sun Yat Sen, who was formerly provisional president of the republic, to establish a railway corporation to carry out a system of national railways covering territory Beventy thousand miles iu extent. Mixed Companies. Mixed Chinese and foreign com panies \.-ill be granted concessions throughout China proper for periods of about forty years, after whicli tlm* the lines are tr, revert to China. Similar concession* are to be gh-on to foreigners for tbe liticrmedinte fll J- trlcts. but the railroads in the frontier provinces will be under exclusively Chinese control and win "be financed through foreign loans apart from the other railways. Dr. Sen's proposals are to open the whole of China to foreign enterprise, but to make foreigners amenable to Chinese laws for which special court:t are to be established. The govern ment has not sanctioned the last features or the project, but Dr. Sen fully expects that they will be ap proved. Powers Participate. The French.

JACK JOHNSON ATTEMPTS SLMCLflE Fires Bullet Through Her Head��� Husband Was About to Take Her South. ��� EVEN TELEPHONES TELL OE PROGRESS Westminster's 1500 Subscribers Are Double Number of Two Years , Ago���Still Growing. The enormous growth of the city commercially and otherwise during tbe past two years la vividly brought to light by the great increase in the number of subscribers on thc new directory Just being Issued by the B. C. Telephone company and by statis tics given out by a local official of the comjtauy. There are 1500 local people's names on the aew book and though no comparative statements have been Issued authority is attached to the assertion that tbis latest figure is almost double that af two years ago. However, this is evidenced In another manner. Mo less than forty new telephones back oiily thirteen operators were em ployed In the local exchange, while thirty-two are at present on the start and a big extension has been made to the board. Orders for new phones have ibeen coming In at the rate of about twenty a month since the first of January, and surprisingly few-have been removed trom residences or offices where they had been previous ly located. No less than forty ne wtelephones have been installed tn New Westminster since thc beginning of this month and the probability is tliat this number will be also doubled before September 'inds. But Westminster Is not alone in her progresh for in all the towns and cities ot the lower mainland where telephone offices are located large advances are shown in the number of subscribers, while some budding cities that have not been on the map much over a year have hundreds of names to their credit.

He declared that should Home Rule be carried lt would never be enforced. Regarding' the haval question, Mr. L��ng said: Borden's Visit. "Premier Borden's YN��tt to England to discuss naval matters was an epoch-making event. I had the pleasure ot meeting him ona number of occasions and can only aay that no statesman from the overseas dominions ever made a more favorable 1m- presslon on the British people than he. The depth and sincerity of his language in discussing the relations between Canada and the motherland were most Impressive.. ^Vhat form of assistance Canada may give Is a matter for herself to decide. While a good deal can be said Hn favor cf tin Dominion building a navy of its own, that program will not meet the present difficulty. The position is urgent. There Is cot the slighfeslt doubt In my mind that Germany entertains ulterior designs against England. Germany today is looking anxiously U�� discover whether ���tbjftwlrtr.iilsh Empire Is tt solid rcantr.��Tr witching to Bee what the overseas dominions do and Us pollcy will be mod'fled in accordance with the attitude they adopt; in other words Germany will be wary about what she does. Wants Action Now. "It Is nol the amount or the form that the contribution from Canada takes, so long as she makes it clear that she ls in earnest. We feel that there are two situations, the present ore and the future. That ts why w�� would welcome a contribution from Canada now. Throughout my present trip ! hare been amazed at the number of members of both parties who have Informed me that they are heartily in sympathy with the Dominion standing by Great Britain in the present international crisis."

True to his promise given Captain Davy while in Vancouver lust December, Lieutenant Sim- ain has now caught up wun her rivals jonB' of .the Young Australia League. In aerial war tactics. That the result of thc manoeuvres at Aldershot had been a great triumph for tbe air fleet ts without doubt, and is even commented upon favorably this mcrn^ng by those papers which previously took the war office to tank for neglecting tbls new arm of the service. Every known device was used by the land forces to cope with aviation corps without result, lt was found absolutely Impossible to properly Judge distance and range when ordinary guns wore pitted against thes; hornets of the air. Experta who were with the troopa during the manoeuvres declare the height and speed obtained by the aerial fleet Incalculable, and aB a result the value ot this arm of the service could not begin to be estimated. In every experiment such as firing from light guiiB and. dropping bombs on imaginary camps of an enemy, th- airmen proved their competency rarely registering a failure. As a result of these trials the war office has announced that the roofs ol all buildings which contain explosives at naval and military centres will ,in future, be armored Orders have been issued to make these alterations at once, and several different types of armor are to be tried out in further experiments at Aldershot. Oil tanks, arsenals and magazines, It Is now recognized, would bo almost at the mercy of an enemy's air scouts, hence the haste with which the war offlci will enrry out nsceHsary alterations. In the latest warships a apecial armored deck has been built, designei to with stand overhead attack. Now land defences also are to be made se cure from damage by aerial cruisers. NEW YORK'S MAYOR REFUSES TO TALK arranged a reception, which, for whole-hearted hospitality, could not be excelled. The arrival of the cadets at Perth resulted In the closing of all the busi ness houses of the city. A universal half holiday was observed, and the streets were lined with cheering c.rowd3 as the cadets, headed by the Young Australia League, marched to the league's headquarters. The boys, since their arrival here, have been kept constantly on the go, entertainments and banquets, sight ���icc'rig and auto rides, filling In a grea! deal of their time. Banquetted by the mayor, the government, the military, and the governor of the state, the boys are truly learning, from thi many speeches delivered at these functions, that Australia desires to es tablish a closer union with the sister dominion. The government railways have been placed at the disposal of the visiters and on Saturday next the cadetf corps will leave for the Goldflelds. Ac companylng them will be the twc. bands of the Young Australia League Probably one of the most nove' banquets ever given, was attended by over four hundred boys last night when the Canadians were the guests of honor. Altogether the visit of the Domin len of Canada representatives has \ electrified the west. Enthusiasm ls a' fever heat, and Canada is the chief topic of discussion both on the street and the press.

In November the tourists will reach New Zealand. There the government hare also promised free transportation on the railways, and a splendid program of entertainment both educational and social. Counsel's Attempts to Learn C'.and on Police Matters Are Completely Foiled. His New York, Sept. 11.���Kor more than two hours yesterday afternoon ��� Willlmn J. Oaynor, mayor of Neiv York, sat In a witness chair at the Clty Mall and parried with picture- sque retort and evasion the attempts of counsel for an aldermanic committee, to learu his views on the pollce situation. At no time during his examination would he admit that the police department was InelTlcent. He expressed renewed confidence In tthinelander Waldo, cion missloner of police, and said that if the social evil flourished It was at least on the decrease, ami was a less evil than pollce blackmail, which he had tried to eradicate. Nine out of every ten questions asked b.v Uuckner remained unanswered. The mayor had formed no opinions, he said, and had not come to tell his opinions. If he were aBk- ed about facts pr about any Instances wherein the police department had violated the law he waa ready to answer. 'Four things, he' said, he had brought about In tho department���he had done away with police "violeric? and clubbing," he had forbidden the practice of policemen degrading themselves to get evidence he had Insisted on the Integrity of the civil service so tbat "Murphy or anybody else can't Influence appointments," he had | done away with graft in connection with enforcement of the liquor laws.

Sept. 11.���Before the Municipal Commission which met here, among many recommendations mad" by the mayor and aldermen of Kelowna. was an important one by Hi3 Worship Mayor Jones, relative to the method of compiling municipal voters' lists. A large number of question regarding the present difficulty experienced by cities and municipalities In the preparation of the voters' list were ssked. A clause appears In the Municipalities Act wbich restricts the franchise so far as property owners are concerned, to holders of registered deeds. Thereby were excluded all owners under agreements of sale. Not onlv is this a great injustice to many people who are reallv and truly thp tayravers. but an unlooked for task Is tiliced upon the council of a��c��r ��� .lining t'>e reslstered owner* of e"ch 'nt in (he city, a task wh'ch frequently entails a special search in the land reelstry ofiice at Kamloons. Th" former method, adopted h*- nearlv all councils, of making un the ������oters' list from the assessment roll is no longer admissible as a famous dec'sion in Victoria showed. . Mayor Jones pointed out that a per- anu might be the o"-ner of thousands- ef dollars worth of property In thr c'ty. but because he **aA no registered deed he was not entitled to vote. H�� strongly advocated compiling the vot er?,' list from the assessment roll. The names on the Assessment roll were those of the- c^v's real ratepayers who should be the voters. London, Sept. 11.���Premier Borden's tribute to England's vitality sent a pleasant thrill through the Old Country, and this morning the thrill was Intensified by Col. Sam Hughes declaration, after witnessing the military manoeuvres, that, profiting b> the lessons of the Boer war, the British army had become the finest ln the world, barring none. England feels young and newspaper comments show her delight at find ing she also looks young to trained Canadian eyes. The purport of edi torials In a dozen leading journals is best B.'.mmed up by the Dally Graphic which says; "We have only to look around to see the absurdity of tin Idea that England, an any vital sense, Is older than the historically younger nations she has brought Into the world. Everywhere there is evidence of a vitality and willingness to face new dangers, grapple with new prob lems and demonstrate to the world that the vigor of England does not die." Sir Edward Grey. Sir Arthur Nicholson both are holiday-making and the foreign office has only a half- alive aspect, but a seemingly Inspired editorial in The Times suugests that Kngland Is determined to lend no countenance to the idea now being fostered by W. E. Hearst that the British protest against Panama was only formal and not seriously meant The Times recounts the deep abiding interest of England, Canada and other dominions In the full maintainence of their rights under the second Hay- Pauncefote treaty. "We have no Intention of waiving them or suffering them to go by de fault," continues The Times. "We shall assert them by all diplomatic means and if these fall we shall demand reference to The Hague Tribunal, under the convention of 1908. negotiated by Elihu Root himself. We place firm reliance upon American devotion to tbe principle of arbitration, by none more warmly advocated than by Presideut Taft." Answering Mr. Hearst's arguments which were spread over many columns of the British press, yester lav. The Times asks: "Dr,es any responsible American believe we should have signed the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, if it had contained in plain English the meanin-? for which defenders of the Panama bill now seek to veto it ?"

"Don't cry. my dear." to tiny Bess. "One kitten's enouah to keep. Now run to nurse, for It's growing tste And time you were fast asleep." The morning dawned, and rosy and swoet Came little Bess from her nap. The nurse said. "Go into mamma's roon. And look in grandma's lap." "Come here." said grandma, wtth a smtle, Krom the rocking chair where she sat "God has sent you Cvo littlo sisters. Now, what do you think of that?" Bess looked at the babtes a moment With their we* heads y��llow and brown And then to granrtmn soberly said, "Which one are you going to drownf" -Beleoted. The destruction of the house fly is a public duty. Almost every American SUte Board of Health is carrying on a crusade against him. His filthy origin and habits, and the fact that his body is generally laden with disease-producing germs, makes him one of the greatest enemies of the human tace. If the housekeepers of Canada will use WILSON'S FLY PADS persistently, this peril will be tremendously reduced. LAND REGISTRY ACT. .

[The South African War Hat Obscured the Zulu Campaign of 1879 When the British Forces Broke Up One of ths Most Remarkable Nsgre Empires of Modern Times ��� The Campaign Against Cetawayo. Ten years ago the British In South Africa subjugated the Boers. The re. verses and final victory of that long campaign have dulled the memory ol the Enidish to the events 33 years ago when tlieir encroachments were questioned defiantly and their interference resented bv a breve and black foo��� tbe pri ml ("etowayo who replied tn an i'^warranted ultimatum by rending an ox hide tn the Colonial Government with the me��Hife: "(Joint the hairs upon ih'.a, hiuI tben you mav number th) Zulu warriors." The Hritish hiuh Commissi mer in South Africa. Sir Hurtle Frere. hsd mads up hi* mind that a powerful and independent /.uiu kingdom to ths north wa.' a menace to the advai -ing English colonists. The lime was near when thes* miijhty chief;" witb tbeir thousand* of followers. Huh ti ii.tt, like Hmier'i heroes, hmid in hnnd. armed with stjib- b'ng Hesegai? and idiielda ot nx-hide, would melt away with broken power into insignificance before the terrible rifles of the Boers and the British. War was declared and Britain's troops marched upon the natives. Tlie British forces met with a stubborn resistance as soon as they crossed tbe Timela river, in January, 1379. A strons force of Irregular Horse were attacked in the Devil's Pass on Zlobane Hill and suffer-d heavy 1 ��sses, but a determined rush in the British laager the next day was repulsed. A lev days later, however, the British met with a terrible calamity at l-nndlima. Tbe Zulus IWartnad like hue* around the Uritith position, upon which they advanced under a heavy fire, regardless ol consequences, and came at once to hand- to-hand fighting with their assegai* auJ short sw rds. The Imperial troops were broken and. back to back, they fotigbt and disputed every inch of the ur'-uud. One square ol 60 men delied llie repeated attacks f f one horn til t'ie Zulu army and, their ammunition failing, the callant little hand to i "mn, fell as tbey bad foutfht. side hr side. The carriage was dreadful .At hi.-t the Zulus made a combined attack. From every black threat rung out the victorious war whoop. IJ ^ u t u ' mud they rujhed the camp. Fearlui |sLu��hter now ensiled; it was cne in- jfuriated mob (tabbing wildly on every side. Panic-stricken, those who were |still alive sought to escape ly flight, ihut there was no path, no track ��� jrocka nad ravines everywhere. The |/.ulu reserves closed in, the rsntn'i' jlutfitivea were pursued with redoubled vigor; no quarter was given, nanus? nnd death wa. all around. Hoi*e��. mules, oxen, m^n on loot and horseback, white and hlack all Intermingled In ' ne ms'i stampede.

Opposed to a fct��atly s'.euulheoeii and wei I-equipped army, Cetewayo .epognised the futility of the stui.iile and made overtures fnr reace. but his white flags were tired upon '*te test 'heir sincerity" and hi- messengers put in irons. Disaffected chiefs deserted the king and surren. dered. and the combined British army occupied Olundi after a most determined resistance by the remnant, of Cetewayi's forces. Soon afterward Cetewa; i was captured and sent to Cape Town as a state priaorer. Tins militsry system was abolished, 'ihe country was divided into 13 districts, *ach of them under a native chief ur kinglet, and over all wss a governor- resident in tbe person of John Putin, an Irishman, who had been (or many years Celewayo's right-hand man and principal lieutenant. This divide and conquer policy not working satisfactorily. Otewayo wes reinstated iu 1383. hut bis glory had departed sud he was soon driven out by some ol t..e recalcitrant chiefs, and died tu exile the following year. Soon afterward the empire of the dynasty of Chaka, the black Napoleon of Alrica. became a mere appanage oi the British colony of Natal. The powet of the Zulu was broken and, a few year* later, the last determined stand with assegai and shield was made lar to Ihe north in Rhodesia, when the Mala- be'.e fought valiantly, hut unavailing. ly. auainst the steady advance nl Ce.M Rhode* and the Chartered Company. ��� The rise of the Zulu kingdom began with Chaka. who was born in l7-7. He was educated in all the KalBt *<��� ���rompllshmenU ol a prince snd n warrior, and in bis early youth determined to become an African Napoleon. Some rhipwrecked Kngiish sailors told him ol the deeds of the areat emperor, then at the seuitli nf hi* rare-r. and the recital* fell on Iruit. ful urotind. Becoming rulimt duel, i n the deatli oi his lather, he entersd upon au unchecked career nl sti ���quest. He subjected'the wh de ma.e population t" compulsory military service, and created au Hiperiai guard ol 15IKKI veteran warriors, who were ready to march 5(1 miles In any direction.

LAY;NG THE STEEL. Railroad Build...* Ars Awaking Echoe* In Silsnt North. Twenty thousand men are : t work on the new railroad grade- of the two westernmost provinces. The coast sec- tion of the transcontinental Grand Trunk Pacific takes the largest nuui- lier of these, on construction work west of the mountains; but. the shovels are busy, too, in Alberta, where soil that last year produced oat.-, and potatoes, or has been unfilled since Creation Day, is being thrown up into near-straight lines that are eloquent of promise. It is going to be a J?uay Bummer in the railway camps of central Alberta. Some six hundred miles of steel, mostly in the central and northern part* of the province are to be laid before too snow comes again, but the graders will cover a larger mileage even than thip. They began early, and a nt of virgin soil will be shifted dur ng the coming season. The net result if their labor will be seen in long, flat-topped mounds, crossing farms und one-time Indian roving grounds ,.i a way that was never known beiore. Now is the time, between tbe first projecting of the roads and the actuu. running of the trains, that the human .nterest of western railroading best bhowi itself. Many prairie towns are familiar with the outfitting and departure of construction crews that I*iL ���he trail in this direction and thut. These interesting cavalcades are ma-n up of men, beasts and iinplement.- inut alike ure built for hard weai and long endurance. Tliey do not ti .���>ii well Into tiie aspect of city street.-. but whi-n they gei into th.e open and .wing their crooks 1 way along the trail* to the s;te of their first camp, or when thfty move from one camp tu another, they seem very rightly und appropriately to bs part and parcel of the country. In the evolution of the railroad they are the clumsy '. ut necessary forerunners of tl.e gay steam trains and fust expresses. A construction camp is, in its out- wurd look, something like a county .a.r and a circus cdmbir.ed. Its canvas tei.ts shows up strongly aga:nst the (reens and blacks around them and the general hit-and miss plan ol th.-ir layout i.s rather pleasing. Ther. ,n nothing stiff about them, nothing conventional, yet always enough o method to ensure quick service and reasonable Comfort. The railway camps in central Alberta are better than many, 'ihey are rough, to be sure, but lbe character of the country makes it possible to introduce lar ni-re of the picnic feature into tlie camp life along the grade than can l>e done either on the plains or in tin mountains, The gradrri, who this summer will be working loutli tuwaru Calgary, or north into the Peace Kiver couiltry, will hr.ve a glorious out- uour life to live, and their nights wil be full of good air and sound sleep. The men who make the grades am. the men who follow them with th< steel are a very mixed lot. They conn fr< in everywhere, and they have al kir.ds ot histc.ry behind tnein. Ai: Oxford'graduate frequently handles a shovel next In line with an unlettered Immigrant from mid-Kurope, and th�� son of a titled family takes his chance with an eater of garlic. But in camp life, where nothing counts but work, social levels are soon struck. Never theless, the human interest and hu man variety of these construction camps are significant, and one cannot altogether forget that the big noise that is being introduced into the new and silent places of the north is, in the last analysis, eloquent of man's energy and persistence. STAND NO CHANCE WITH FLYING MEN British Artillery and Infantry Fall Absolutely to Judge Distance and Range. Aldershot, Sept. 11.���Judging from results shown at the British military manoeuvres now being conducted here, a great triumph for the air fleet ls apparent, and future warfare wil be revolutionized without doubt. Despite every effort made both b.. the Infantry and artillery of the Brit lsh army, now conducting the sham battle, lt la has been found absolutely Impossible to properly Judge dlstauce and range when pitted agalnat the aviation corps. Military experts declare the height and speed attained by the aerial fleet Incalculable, with tbe result that the worth of the fleet would be Indeterminable in time of war.
