TAXATION SETTLEMENT IS IN SIGHT PROPOSITION FOR THE PEOPLE Basis is Reached Between City Council and D'Arcy Tate Preparatory to Placing it Before the Citizens of Prince Rupert and the Railway Head Office for Ratification The Grand Trunk Pacific taxation question which has been the subject of so much exaggeration on the outside and which in consequence has worked to the material disadvantage of this city now seems in a fair way to be settled. Representaives of the two parties directly concerned, the citizens of Prince Rupert and the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Company, have reached a basis of settlement which in turn will have to be approved by the citzens and the transportation company's officials. D'Aircy Tate, representing the company will submit the agreement to Mr. Hays for approval. The council, representing the citizens, will then be In a position to ask the approval of the people,, The agreement when it conies to the people f»r approval should be heartily endorsed. For nearly a year this question has been up. The council both last year and again this year, the public can rest assured, endeavored to get the most possible out of the company. It would appear that the limit has been reached, The city should close with the company and as quickly as possible remove this from the arena of local politics where it is liable to be used In a way to make dissension and work injury to the city. Mayor's Statement ^layor Manson was asked what he had to say relative to the proposed settlement, this morning. His reply was contained in a statement which he handed out explaining tbe situation and the position of affairs. His statement was as follows: "The accompanying memorandum of proposed agreement between the City and the Railway Company has been arrived at between the Council and Mr. D'Arcy Tate, solicitor for the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Company, who have been in conference for the last two days. "The members of the council were informed by Mr. Tate that the company refused to enter into an agreement on the basis submitted to him by the city council of last December, consequently It became necessary to carry on further negotiations which sub- has resulted in the proposals mitted herewith. "Mr. Tate has agreed to lay the full details before Mr. Chas. M. Hays, president of the company, and will with one or two exceptions recommend the execution of the agreement by the company, and has promised to give the council a reply by the 15th of April. "The council has undertaken as soon as the agreement has been executed by the proper officers of the company that tbe same will be submitted for the approval of the ratepayers of the city. "The particulars are now given out for publication in order that the citzens may have knowledge of the progress made, and when the agreement is ready for submission to the people the council will be prepared to discuss all details fully." Mr. Tate Goes East Mr. Tate left last night for the east, going by way of Victoria, where he has some departmental business to attend to. He did not wish to discuss the agreement. Asked if there was any possibility of the company agreeing to the $25,000 which was the sum pressed for at the last meeting with last year's council, Mr. Tate said "none whatever." He left pleased with the way in which the negotiations had been carried on. There had been a good feeling manifested throughout, he said. The company desired to do business on the most friendly basis with Prince Rupert and they should mutually work for the upbuilding of the city. The Negotiations With the return of Mayor Manson from Victoria on Wednesday, accompanied by D'Arcy Tate, the Grank Trunk Pacific solicitor, the settlement of the vexed question of the municipal taxation of the company became again a live subject. There had been considerable discussion of the question between Mr. Manson and Mr. Tate in Victoria. Aid. Smith, who was in the soutli on private business, also was able to devote a little time to the consideration of it before the Prince Rupert left for the north with all on board. Further discussions were held on PROPOSED AGREEMENT MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT made in duplicate this day of March, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and eleven. —BETWEEN— THE MUNICIPALITY OF THE CITY OF PRINCE RUPERT (hereinafter called the "City," of the First Part) —and— THE GRAND TRUNK PACIFIC RAILWAY COMPANY (herinafter called the "Company," of the Second Part) —and— THE GOVERNMENT OF THE PROVINCE OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (hereinafter called the "Governmen.t," of the Third Part) WHEREAS certain differences have' arisen between the City and the Company regarding the taxation of the lands belonging to the Company situated within the limits of the City of Prince Rupert, and it is desirable that an agreement be made between the City and the Company for the purpose of settling and terminating said differences; AND WHEREAS it is necessary that the Government of the Province of British Columbia, being the owner of a one-fourth undivided interest in all the land, referred to in paragraph 2 hereof, be made a party hereto for tiie purposes of the transfer of the lands referred to In said paragraph 2. NOW, THEREFORE, THIS AGREEMENT WITNESSETH that in consideration of the undertakings, covenants and agreements on the part of the City and the Company herein contained, the City and the Conipay covenant and agree with each other as follows: 1. The Company agrees with the City to convey by grant and conveyance in fee simple, all those certain parcels of land contained within the limits of the City and numbered 1 to 6 2 inclusive as shown on the map hereto annexed and marked "Exhibit A." In regard to the following described parcels of land the City undertakes and agrees with the Company as follows: As to parcel No. 16, known as Acropolis Hill, the entire acreage to be held forever as a public park and that within 15 years or so soon thereafter as the City may be in a Position to do so, a recreation park j is to be developed with carefully laid-out paths and drives with judi- ! cious planting of trees and shrubs so that an attractive park may 1 be furnished to the public and be an ornament to the City. A limited number of buildings may be built and reservoirs con- ! structed in this public park that must be of a public character and ! for public use. As to parcel No. 28, known as Hay's Creek Reserve, the City undertakes and agrees to deal similarly as with parcel No. 16 that a park-like effect will always be conserved for at least 1,000 feet to the northwards of the Prince Rupert Boulevard and McBride Street, and ! that for the next. 15 years the City will be bound to conserve In so far as possible its natural beauty and wild park-like effect, and establish such parks for recreation purposes as may seem advisable. As to parcels Nos. 24, 25, 26 and 27, being four plots of land situated on the intersection of McBride Street and Sixth Avenue, the i City agrees to appropriately grade such and cultivate so as to get a i suitable turf with such trees as may be thought desirable, the same | to be developed within the next five years or as early as conditions | may warrant, but under no circumstances shall any buildings be 1 erected on any of the four plots, although monuments or statues may i be placed thereon. As to parcels Nos. 20 and 22. The City undertakes and . agrees I that any disposition of this land shall be acceptable to the citizens and that a park-like effect shall be maintained as far as possible and shall be kept tidy and free from objectionable features. As to parcel No. 2. The City agrees that it shall be used only for Cemete"y purposes and that the same shall be properly laid out and developed as occasion demands according to the practice prevailing in all well-governed cemeteries jn British Columbia.

NEGOTIATIONS CONCLUDED Fixed Taxation for Ten Years on Railway Lands Put at $15,000 a Year—Development Company to Pay on all its Holdings—City Handed Over 62 Parcels of Property Under Favorable Terms * 'Continued on Page Four) the way to Prince Rupert, so that by the time the city was reached Mayor .Manson was fairly well in possession of the attitude of the Grand Trunk Pacific on the whole question. The council met Wednesday evening and in a private meeting exchanged views. In the afternoon the members of the board again met with Mr. Tate present and proceeded to discuss matters looking to the reaching of an agreement. The negotiations as far as can be learned from each side were of an amicable nature, each seeking the best possible terms for the interests he represented. Before Mr. Tate left the city last evening the memorandum of agreement elsewhere appearing on this page, had been mutually agreed upon. Mr. Tate will submit this to Charles M. Hays, the president of his company, and with a few exceptions, the solicitor, it Is understood, was ready to assure the council there would be an endorsation of the terms by the officials of the company. Sonic Features From the standpoint of the city there are many very favorable conditions in the agreement which can best be understood by consulting the map accompanying the agreement. The city is assured of $15,000 a year by these terms. This Is not to be reduced by reason of the company alienating any of the property, a condition which was contained in the former proposition. The company under this new basis of settlement will always pay $15,000 up to the end of the term of ten years, when a new agreement may be entered into. All land alienated in any way by the company likewise becomes liable for taxation by the city just as any other property is taxable. The Grand Trunk Pacific Development Company must pay on its holdings and in lieu of last year's taxes it is agreed that over $6,500 will be paid to the city on tlie block of land within the bounds of Second avenue, Third and Sixth streets in the Grand Trunk Pacific Reserve. Tills is the taxation on the 16 mill basis of last year. The city gets sixty-two parcels of land in the townsite for various purposes, including parks, recreation grounds and cemetery. With respect to the land not subdivided about Fulton street and Fifth avenue, a conveyance will be made to the city without restrictions so that it may be used as decided either for city purposes or to be alienated in turn by the city If It sees fit. Company's Undertakings The Grand Trunk Pacific agrees that upon the conclusion of the agreement a start shall be made upon the permanent station, the round-hou^se, engine shops and other works necessary to a terminal point. The floating drydock will be commenced within six months and the large hotel will also be started. All these, It is agreed will be carried on with due despatch. The effect of the settlement cannot fall to be most marked. Business men, dealers in real estate and all classes have felt the effects oT the dispute. It has bad an alarming influence which just, at this stage ot its history Prince Rupert should desire to see wiped out. There is little doubt (hat the citizens when the time conies to pass upon the matter will show their hearty endorsation of It as the best terms available. STARTING THE WORK Contractors for Marine Departments De pot are on the Ground Large Force Will Be Busy Within a Short Time The Dominion Government marife at ihis port is to be started at once. T. Stedman, the concrete expert of the contracting company, accompanied by Mr. Jennings, is now here preparing to enter upon the work. A large force of men will be employed. The total cost of the buoy depot is put at $159,445. There is to be a concrete pile wharf with necessary shops, offices, dwellings, etc. THE LIQUOR BY-LAW Reconsideration of Measure Will Tkea Place Tomorrow After- Noon Aid. Pattullo Is Very Anxious to lie Present at the .Meeting to Record His Vote The final consideration of the liquor bylaw of tbe city will come up on Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Last evening there was a motion to reconsider preparatory to passing it, but on objection being raised that the matter should be left so as to enable the two sides to the question to be present, It was finally decided to postpone action until Saturday afternoon. Aid. Newton moved to reconsider the bylaw last night. Aid. Hilditch objected in view of a motion on record to take it up Monday night. It would be unfair to those Interested to bring ti on now. After some discussion a ruling was sought from the mayor, who thought It would be in order to consider It If the council so voted. Aid. Hllditch, as the father of the bylaw thought that he was surely entitled to have the say In such a matter. Aid. Pattullo was anxious to bring the vote on as he would leave Sunday morning and wished to vote on it. A vote being taken, it was decided lost. Aid. Hilditch objected to Mayor Manson voting except on a tie. His Worship said he thought he was entitled to vote but would look into the procedure bylaw. In any event the motion was lost, for If he had no vole there was one less In favor of the question being decided. It was then proposed to bring on a special meeting so that all could be present, Aid. Pattullo being exceedingly anxious of having a vote. Ills Worship thought they should meet Aid. Pnttullo as far as possible and endeavor to have a full board present when they take It up. It was finally decided to fix Saturday afternon at 3 o'clock as tbe hour for meeting. o Aid. Clayton desired to have the question of aid from the city to the Tranquille Sanatorium re-opened at last night's council meeting. He proposed a grant of $200. In so doing he referred to the amendment to the statutes made at the session of the legislature just closed In which it was provided that each mu- niclpaltly must pay for its indigent consumptives at the institution. The question was referred to the finance com m it tee. ********** LABOR DIFFICULTIES Mayor Manson, this morning met a delegation of the city contractors at the city hall. The situation with respect to labor was discussed and it is expected another meeting may be held. A meeting with a delegation from the worklngnien has been arranged with His Worship. This will be held tomorrow nt 10 o'clock and will be private. * * * * SEMMVEEKLY SERVICE (Special to Tlie Journal) * VICTORIA, March 17.—Com- * mencing April 19, the semi- * weekly service of the Grand * Trunk Pacific steamers between * Seattle, Victoria, Vancouver and * Prince Rupert will be started * by the Prince Rupert and the * Prince George. * ..............

BERESFORD RETIRES Lord Charles Quits the Navy After Fifty One Years Service Tlie Record of tho Dashing Irish Seaman in Country's Cause Anheuser-Busch's K^t*4 .. ..V-V.-^S Admiral Lord Charles Beresford, the most popular British naval officer of the ironclad era, has retired from the Navy on attaining his sixty-fifth birthday. Having entered the service in December, 1850, he has thus given over f'fty-one years to the service of his country. Lord Charles Beresrord's service career lias been one of exceptional activity and of great variety. He was naval aide-de-camp to the late King when, as Prince of Wales, he visited India in 1874. In the following year Lord Charles was promoted commander, and in 'the next ten years saw all the fighting of his career. At the bombardment of Alexandria on July 11, 1SS2, he commanded tbe 708-ton gun vessel Condor, and by his courageous and effective engagement of the Marabout fort at close range not only earned the approbation of the commander- in-chief (Admiral Sir Frederick Beauciiamp Seymour), but was also specially promoted by the Admiralty tu the rank of captain. The Safieh's Exploit After Alexandra was reduced Lord Charles landed and was given tlie task of organizing a police force to patrol the town and its precincts. This he did so well that Lord Woise- ley attached .-him to his personal staff. In this capacity he took part iu tlie Nile expedition for the relief of General Gordon, and later took command of the naval brigade, being In command of the force at the battle of Abu Klea. His rescue of Sir Charles Wilson, who had himself got into difficulties in an endeavor to succor Gordon, once again brought the name of Beresford to everyone's lips. He took the little steamer Safieli, one of the boats that had come down the river with news of Gordon's plight, and manned her with a few men of the naval brigade and twenty picked marksmen from the mounted infantry. The Safieh had to fight ' every yard or the way. At one point she had to pass within eighty yards of a hostile fort; but Lord Charles directed the marksmen and gunners to fire at nothing but the gun embrasures, and so well was the order carried out that not a shot could be fired at tbe vessel until she was 200 yards beyond the fort, and it was no longer possible to fire into the gun- ports. When that distanc? was reached, however, a shot penetrated the Safieh's boiler, and she had to be brought to anchor. Immediately word was got through to Wilson, who managed to eet past the fort in the darkness. All day the Safieh lay helpless, fired at by hundreds of Dervishes, and then another ten hours' work, all under a hot fire, had to be carried out on the damaged boiler. Early in the morning of tlie following day steam was again raised. Beresford set his course up stream again; hut only for a short distance. As soon as opportunity offered he swung his little vessel round and clapping on all steam ran past the fort again and picked up the sick and wounded of Wilson's party before the -Dervishes had recovered from their surprise. For this gallant service Lord Charles received tlie C, B., and was the recipient of the mosl eulogistic references from Lord Wolseley, Lord Salisbury and the Admiralty. Member for the Navy l-'r 1874 in 1880 Lord Charles bad sat In parliament as member for Waterford. In 1886 he was elected for Marylebone, being again returned at tbe general election of 1886, In August nf thai year he took a seat on Hie Board of Admiralty. The Naval Intelligence Department, established in 1887, was largely the result of his efforts, but the provision made for Its work did not satisfy him, and In 1888 he resigned from the board. In 1898, a year after his promotion to the rank of rear-admiral, Lord Charles was elected M. P. for York, retaining tlie seat until the beginning of 1900, when lie was ap- ponted second In command of the Medlterraean fleet, under Lord Fisher. It is not without Interest to note that although certain critics found considerable fault with Lord Charles Beresford for criticising the authorities while he was on active service in 1907-9, Admirals Fisher and Beresford In association con- nxnfi MWEi'SMl Budweiser Its sale in many lands is due entirely and solely because of its surpassing Quality and Purity.

Bottled only at the Anheuser-Busch Brewery Clarke BrOS. m St. Louis, Mo., U. S. A. Distributors Prince Rupert, B. C. ducted a very spirited press campaign on various phases of naval policy while they commanded the forces in the Mediterranean. In February, 1902, Lord Charles leturned to the House of Commons, his constituency tills time being Woolwich. He remained only a year, however, for in April, 1903, he was appointed to command the Channel fleet, having in the meantime been promoted vice-admiral. He left this command in May, 1905, to take chief command in the Mediterranean and while there—on November 11, 1906—was promoted to admiral's rank. His active work did not end with the Mediterranean command, for in .March, 1907, he took over the Channel fleet. It was just about this time that the Admiralty began to reduce the strength of our commissioned fleets, and the Channel fleet was shorn of five armored ships and a large number of destroyers. Lord Charles was not concerned with the loss of the armored ships, considering that the Admiralty ought to know the number required by the political situation; but he most emphatically objected to the loss of his destroyers, declaring that a fleet with no torpedo craft was no fleet at all, and merely an inviting victim for an enterprising enemy. He won his point, and after a few months the destroyers were restored to the fleet. Lord Charles hauled down his flag for the last time on March 24, 1909, when the Channel fleet was absorbed by the Home fleet. Admiral Sir William May took command of the United forces, and, like Lord Charles, will hold this, the chief command in tlie British fleet, for two years only. The retiring admiral lias always been exceedingly popular with all classes of fleetmen, although the fact that lie has never held any high position at the Admiralty—being bb- Bi ntlally a sailor admiral—has In many cases prevented the redress of grievances lie has sought to abolish, \ matter tor which the lower deck Is particularly grateful to liini is the generous amount of leave now given compared with what was the case five or six years ago. Always and In everything Lord Charles has been the friend and advocate of the lower deck, and he boasts that he always found the best way to get the best, work out of the men was to trust them. Lord Charles Beresford entered the navy In the same year that saw the laying down of the first ironclad. He leaves in the year that has already witnessed the beginning of the first British motor-engined warship. —. o Gravy will generally be lumpy if the thickening is poured In while the pan is over the fire.

MUST PAX TAX United States Citizens Are Required to Meet Demand for Income Levy Judge Mclnnes, in Vancouver County Court, dismissed the appeal of Captain Gott and two other employees of the New England Fish Company, against the decision of Magistrate Alexander that they were liable to pay income tax In British Columbia, which was the home port of their ships. The defence was that they were American citizens, receiving their pay in the American consulate, which was practically American soil, so that they should not be taxed on It like British subjects receiving their pay here. Magistrate Alexander held that the American consulate in Vancouver was not American, but British soil, that they earned their money practically in Canadian waters and that Vancouverd was their home port. This decision Judge Mclnnis upheld. Mr, Edgar Bloomfield argued the case for the appellants and Mr. O'Brian appeared for the crown. o HOUSTON TOWNSITE The Owners Are Receiving Many Inquiries mid Applications for Lots Although Houston Townsite has been on the market only a few days the owners have received great encouragement, and they are justified in their belief that it will be a great money maker for the early purchasers as well as for themselves. They have sold a number of lots already and have received a large number of enquiries. Houston is situated in Pleasant Valley, which Is a part of tlie great and famous Bulkley Valley. It is tlie natural supply point and shipping point for that districl, nnd aside fro manythlng else, nature will make it a big and prosperous town, in addition to what nature will do Houston will be the market tor an Immense territory which will he thickly populated witli farmers and stock raisers, and It will most likely be the shipping point for the great conl fields along the Mori-Ice River. The Grand Trunk Pacific railway is surveyed through the town as shown on the map issued by the company and it will be the first town of any size east of Aldermere. The climate of Houston will also be ana ttractlon to the future population, as it cannot be excelled. The winters are not severe, In fact, the cattle graze on the hills the year round.

PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL SAFETY DEVICE Patent by Winnipeg Man Will Do Away With Dangers at Rail- . way Crossings LAND PURCHASE NOTICES A model of a remarkable device which has been patented by Wlnni- peggers for the purpose of affording greater safety at level railway crossings, is on view in Winnipeg. Those who have seen the model working claim that it will revolutionize anything now in operation for the safety of the public at level crossings. The railway companies have for some years been looking for safety apparatus which will afford the greatest protection at level crossings for botli man and beast, and several prominent railway men have expressed tlie opinion that Winnipeg genius has given to the world such an apparatus in Hie "Coulter Safety Level Crossing Device.' * The machine is remarkable for its simplicity and for its accuracy. The device is an automatic one. The invention consists of a series of short flrnges set at intervals at a distance from the crossings on the outer side of one set of rails only. On the engine striking the first flange a warning bell, which Is self-winding, starts ringing at tbe level crossing, and continues to do so until the train has passed. As soo nas the train reaches the second flange a semaphore is raised to the pedestrian or those crossing the railway and lowered to the train crew and engineer. At night a red light is turned to the road and a white light to the train. The last flange operates a cattle-guard which Is lowered and locked down as the train approaches and raised and locked again when the last car passes, thus affording perfect security. The cattle-guard is considered by those who have seen it to be the, best yet invented. As the flanges are placed on both approaches to the crossing, those met by the train after leaving the crossing servie to rewind the bell in preparation for the next train. Should by any possible contingency a signal is to be made, then a semaphore is raised and a red light is turned to the engineer. The whole system is entirely automatic, no electricity being used. The bell is self-winding and the light is created by flint steel and gasoline. It is worked by three cables in conduits placed under tlie rails to a depth which will afford every protection In the severest weather. The 85-pound standard rail will be used and the flanges are to be placed at the following distances from the crossing: First, that which winds the bell, 800 yards; second, that which raises and lowers semaphores and throws signal light', 600 to 700 yards, and the third which lowers the cattle guard, 300 yards from the crossing. A spring is attached to the cables which practically removes the Impact of the train on the device. "How realistic your painting Is! It fairly makes my mouth water."

One was that of placing elctrlc light poles on First and Second avenues and the other was with respect to the sewer which was being rendered useless on First avenue near McBride. The question of the pole lines was brought up by Aid. Kerr, who said that the committee to which it had been referred bad not had a chance to go into it. He wished the council to discuss it. Aid. Smith explained that Mr. Love estimated that it would cost about double the amount to put the lines along the lanes as it would to put them in the streets. He thought they might well place them on the streets now. Aid. Hilditch thought It would be found advisable to put the wires in conduits In tbe near future. Those poles would be temporary therefore. He moved that the lines be put in the streets. Aid. Newton was opposed to this. His Worship wanted to know what the estimated cost was. Aid. Kerr pointed out that in lighting the streets it would be necessary to have poles in the streets. If the wires were carried up the lanes they would have really double pole lines. Aid. Clayton said it was pointed ont that with both light and telephone lines in the alleys there would be interference between them. Aid. Pattullo agreed with the mayor that it would be wise to get the comparative cost of the two systems. The motion to allow the pole lines in the streets carried. On the sewerage question Aid. Hilditch called attention to the fact that the system put in before the sale on First avenue was now being rendered useless. In places it was above the new grade and in other places It was broken by the weight above. He did not like to take the engineers off the water proposition to go into it. His Worship thought the engineers would have to go Into it, even if they were busy. Aid. Pattullo agreed with this, and Aid. Hilditch said he would take it up. o | News of the Province % * * .;. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * TO REBUILD CONVENT NANAIMO—The Sisters of St. Ann have decided to build a convent to replace the one destroyed at Nanaimo by fire six months ago The contract was awarded recently and calls for a three-story frame structure to cost in the neighborhood of $25,000.

BIG FISH IN FRASER NEW WESTMINSTER — While blowing the snags at the mouth of the Harrison river, F. C. Kickbush accidently brought a sturgeon to the surface which the Indlnns say Is the biggest they ever saw. The big fish was twelve leet in length, two feet in vertical measurement, and eighteen inches through from side to side. This will be taken as an indication that the depleted sturgeon supply in the Fraser is regaining its former prominence.

OUTLOOK OF EAST Lord Curzon Gives Interesting Address Upon Important Subject His View of the Situation in Asia, Given at University of Glasgow in modern times to make an alliance on terms of equality with an Asiatic power (by the treaty of 1905). "She has consistently led the van in concession to Asiatic sentiment or in marshalling Asiatic progress. All these great advantages must be sustained with inflexible determination, together with our traditional armed superiority in Asia—where necessary on land and everywhere at sea." Lord Curzon of Keddleston was recently formally installed as Lord Rector of Glasgow University, and chose for the subject of his address, "East and West." "To some minds," he said, "the east is like some beautiful spirit, whose heavy eyelids are to be always half closed and who nods, with a half smile on her face, in a land of everlasting dreams." They might trace to the Russo- Japanese war a threefold result. It had been accompanied by an immense addition to the moral confidence and the self-respect of Asia. It had given a powerful impulse to the demands by Oriental countries for self-government. It compelled the west to revise !fs formulas of twenty, and perhaps even ten, years ago. Within seven years of the outbreak of tlie Russo-Japanese war they had seen the Turks in Europe and tbe Persians in Asia dethroning an absolute monarch and setting up a parliamentary chamber; the Egyptians clamoring for a similar constitution; the Indian Nationalists adopting as their avowed programme self-government on parliamentary lines; the Filipinos already manipulating with zest the institutions co- ferred upon them by America; the Russian Slavs (who in their acceptance of autocracy had been more eastern than the east) extracting a Duma; and, above all—greatest of wonders—China committing herself to the summoning of a parliament in a few years' time. Lord Curzon thought that the east was unlikely to accept Christianity, for two main reasons. Firstly, the religions of Asia gave what, the pagan mytholigies did not give to Europe—a definite and intelligible theory of the relations of God to man. This satisfied the spiritual aspirations as well as the day-to-day requirements of the Oriental. Secondly, the latter saw in the teachings of Christianity hostility to that revived self-consciousness to which he clung as his dearest possession. Christianity had had a positive and enduring mission in Asia as regards the influence of education. It would be a grotesque misleading of facts to argue that western education had not on the whole been attended with incalculable benefit to the east. The seer who could predict' the relations of Japan and China a century hence wool dhold the key to the future of the east. Would China unite with Japan to share the leadership of tlie far eastern world? Present omens were unfavorable to the realization of such a policy, for China still smarted under the recollection of what she had lost to a rival whom, until recently, she despised. The horoscope of India was the most obscure of any of the countries of the east. Could a western power situated at a distance of 0,000 miles, maintain a permanent ascendency in an Asiatic country to which the rulers only come as birds of passage for a third of a lifetime, and were represented by a total body—the army of occupation included of less than 150,000 adult, males, nnd when tlie sentiment of the east, revived by western nutriment, was ex-' eeptlonally active in Its manifestation? There were already many persons! who answered that question In the negative, but this country had not I abated by one lota its resolve to maintain its supren y in India. Self-government under or within the British Empire, which was the motto of tiie advanced party, wns nol at pre enl a reallzabli Ideal. Afghanistan was still safeguarded bj treaties whirii rend i II .ii, from attack and was becoming more Idable owing to the Importation 'I earms. The futu .- of all tl e ons between India and the Med- Hern onlzed ■i said Lord ■ n, "and Is I Asiatic Issui :> Britain waa Ihe flrsl ti hi rights ttra-ti ' - . in .Lilian, and to admII ' ■ to e o Ity of nations (by the treaty or 1S94). She was the first western country FERDINANDS WORK What the Ruler of Bulgaria Has Done For That State Kingdom Has Seen n Marked Change As Result of His Reforms it is doubtful is any ruler of Europe is more popular with bis subjects than is Ferdinand I, ot Bulgaria, whose fiftieth birthday was celebrated throughout his little kingdom on Sunday last with great enthusiasm. And it is doubtful if any ruler is more deserving of popularity, for certainly none has done more for the material welfare of his realm than has the erstwhile prince of the house of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, who without hesitation accepted the Bulgarian crown, or rather semi-crown when lie .vas well aware of the dangers his acceptance would involve. Bulgaria, as Prince Ferdinand found it when he arrived in Sofia in 1S87 to take up the reins of government, was composed of two big districts slenderly joined together. It was nominally a vassal of Turkey. Actually, it had till then been a vassal of Russia. Russia refused to recognize tlie election of Prince Ferdinand and the other powers took the same stand. The country was poverty-stricken, rival factions disputed the government, the army was torn with dissensions and everything, in fact, was ip about as bad a state as could be imagined. Today Ferdinand is recognized everywhere as the Czar of Bulgaria. He is received with royal'honors in all tlie capitals of Europe. His realm lias become one of the most prosperous and most powerful of the Balkan states. It has proudly broken the last ties that bounl it to Turkey and at the same time has effected a complete reconciliation with Russia. The country is intersected with improved roads and railways. The capital has become one o ftlie most attractive of all Europe and few cities can boast of more magnificent public buildings. And, above all, the population of the country is thrifty, industrious and contented. To accomplish this truly wonderful change in the condition of Bulgaria and her people Ferdinand required prodigies of energy and .skill and perseverance. It was an uphill fight but in the end it was crowned with victory. It was not until he took the reins from Stambitloff, who was destined to become the victim of an assassin a little later, that Ferdinand's stregth of character and his fearlessness were fully recognized. Before that time 'it was a common saying that Stambuloff was the real ruler and Ferdinand a mere figurehead. But with the removal nf the Prime Minister, Ferdinand went about quietly but none the less energetically to accomplish the prodigious work that has earned for lilm the title Of the self-made king. He is not only an earnest student, With a special leaning toward botany and ornithology, but also a man of highly cultivated taste. He Is cred- Ited with a much greater preference for the Identification of rare plants than for the study of an enemy's line of battle. At the same time ho lias nol railed in recognize the fact that tlie army Is necessary and that It is tlie backbone of his country. His active Interest In this direction Is evidenced by the many military buildings that have been erected in the capital within the past few .< ai b Ferdinand lias made a complete study of the difficult language and the history of hla people and is a tickler for the ceremonies of liis little court, In fact, the osten of l he Bulgarian co irt, foi malillei an 'im In burg or VI ma, caused .1 nee among ill cl :ii the eat lj years of but il had in I he end tbe effect thai doubts' as Intended, for it Imprest i d the Bulga flans n it '-> a sense of their own Importance and did much to strengthen the movement In favor of complete Independence. LICENSE LAWS • Ontario's Proposed Legislation Rein- alive to Liquor Administration Three most important bills have been introduced in the Ontario legislature, two dealing with liquor licenses, and the other imposing a tax on race tracks in the province of Ontario. The first bill, which was Introduced by Hon. W. J. Hanna, proposes to collect five per cent of all bar receipts above an average of $40 per day. To tills end licensees must make monthly returns of receipts accompanied by a five per cent payment to the province direct through the provincial secretary's department, and in order that tlie latter may keep a check the bill gives an official of the department access to all books of a licensee as well as to all books of wholesalers, Mr. Hanna explaied that in tlie cutting off of so many licenses the remaining hotels were ensured of greatly increased patronage, and It was felt to be only fair that a portion of this unearned increment should come back to the people of the province. A large proportion of the smaller hotels in the province would not be affected at all. Another important addition to the act gives tlie province power to vote over all licenses in the province Heretofore it had had this power over licenses in unorganized di tricts. It is not proposed to exercise this power save in extreme and exceptional cases. A separate bill dealing with the liquor problem aims to check the Illegal sale of liquor by druggists It has been approved by the more reputable section of the profession and provides that a chemist convicted for the second time of selling liquor illegally shall be handed over to the pharmaceutical council for discipline, that body having power to ssupend his druggist license for one, two or three years at its discretion.

PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL SPORTS SMALLER LACROSSE FIELD At the annual meeting of the National Lacrosse Union in Toronto next month, President W. E. Findlay of the Montreal Lacrosse Club will make a suggestion, in fact will put it before the meeting as a resolution, that may make a great change in the National summer game. Mr. Findlay's proposition In brief is to reduce the size of the field and to reduce the size of tlie teams. Mr. Findlay proposes to reduce the length of the field to 100 yards between goals and the teams to ten men each. At the present time the rules call for a distance of at least 120 yards between goals but while the rule sets a minimum distance it says nothing whatever about a maximum distance. Thus on some grounds the limit is 120 yards, while on others the distance is much greater. • By making a uniform distance and by limiting the distance behind the goals in which the ball may be in play, Mr. Findlay hopes to see a game developed that will appeal more strongly than ever to the spectators. By reducing the size of the field Mr. Findlay paves the way for the reduction of the number of men on the team. As the game Is at present there are always spells during which players at one end or the other are comparatively idle. By reducing the teams and playing ten men a side Mr. Findlay anticipates that this objectionable feature can be eliminated. Another and probably still more important factor in the eyes of the professional clubs is the fact that a couple less players need be carried on the salary list, effecting a saving of possibly fifteen hundred dollars a year to some clubs. PUGILISTIC FAME SHORT How time does fly? Here is Battling Nelson out with the big talk of taking the rest cure and trying to "come back," and really when one stops to think of It, Nelson Is onl ya "kid" at the game, writes Jim Corbett in his weekly letter to the Chicago Tribune. Why, the Battler was practically unknown until about six years ago, when opportunity matched him against Young Corbett, and somehow or other we are inclined to look upon him as an old man. And this same Young Corbett. has been down and out as a fighter for what seems a long time, yet it is only nine years ago that he met and defeated Terry McGovern at Hartford, and he is still a youngster in years. In 1892 I won the heavyweight championship from John L. Sullivan—more than eighteen years ago, although it does not seem that long to me. And during the intervening years, I have seen the rise and fall of many a champion. Some hang on and weather the storms for years, while others are amongst us for a brief period only to drift • out of sight before we hardly have time to become acquainted with their prow- ress. This Is true more particularly of the lighter classes and 13 strongly impressed upon us when we think of the fistic heroes of what seems ages to many, and yet according to the calendar is at most a few short years. Jack McAulIffe, Young Grlffo and Kid Lavigne are almost forgotten, though it Is not so long ago that Frank Erne won the championship from the latter. In no other walk of life Is fame so shortlived as in professional pugilism. GETTING HEADY I'OR RACES Oxford is getting along finely with its crew for the nnnual race witli Cambridge on the Thames at Putney. The men have been well schooled, and the university coaches are sanguine that they have an eight which will give the light blue plenty of concern when tlie old rivals meet in their great race of the year. Tlie Oxford men are strong and enduring and they have been taught to stroke their boat with power and speed. Oxford has won the last two races from Cambridge, and this year Is anxious to'triumph again, that they may hold a successive record of three defeats over their old rival. That will compensate in sonic measure for the three successive defeats which were administered to Oxford by Cambridge in 1906, 1907 and 1908. The crews of England's famous universities have rowed 67 times in the past. Of this large number of races Oxford litis won 36 and Cambridge 30. The race in 1877 resulted in a dead heat. The majority of victories has gone lo the dark blue, but the Oxonians are eager to win their third straight this season, not only to Increase their general total, but, as previously stated that they may avenge a little for the more recent triple victory which Cambridge has to its credit. The ract this year will be held on April 1. The respective crews are: Oxford—C. A. Gladstone, Christ Church, bow; L. G. Wormald, Magdalen; C. E. Tinne, University; E. Millington Drake, Magdalen; C. W. B. Littlejohn, New; A. S. Garton, Magdalen; R. E. Burgess, Magdalen; R. C. Bourne, New (stroke); H. B. Wells, Magdalen (cox). Cambridge—S. E. Swann, Trinity Hall (bow); R. Davies, St. Catharines; F. E. Hellyer, First Trinity; C. F. Burnand, First Trinity; R. le Blanc Smith, Third Trinity; J. B. Rosher, First Trinity; G. E. Fair- bairn, Jesus; R. W. M. Arbuthnot, Third Trinity (stroke); C. A. Skinner, Jesus (cox). MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPIONS Five fighters, two of them Penn- sylvanians, are entrenching their works for a fusilade on the middleweight championship and the entrants are: Frank Klaus, of Pittsburg, Leo Houck, of Lancaster, Jimmy Gardiner, of Lowell, Dave Smith, of Australia, and Billy Papke, of Illinois. When the great Ketchel was buried, the flashiest, fastest and fiercest of the American warriors, a title was left vacant and a squabble of the scribes started as to the proper possessor of the middleweight championship. Billy Papke possibly had the tightest clutch on the crown, but his defeat by Dave Smith dims the lustre of his battle shield. Papke has been labeled a wildcat when winning and a possum when the flogging of the fists was breaking against him. When the matchless Ketchel was trained Papke had about as much chance with "Steve" as a safety razor has against a battleship. Papke no longer has youth, he always lacked daring and skill, and It was mere might that mowed down his men. Keen observers will pass Papke when searching for a fellow who can win the middleweight title. Jimmy Gardner, of Massachusetts, is the most gifted fighter of the lot, but he has an erratic record. He has style, skill and a short shot with either hand and a lot of latent speed. He has shown little in long fights, for Mike Twin Sullivan can always beat him in an hour's gruelling. The most promising of the brigade are Leo Houck and Frank Klaus. Houck is a powerful youngster, a great gloveman from the scientific side of the sport. He hits straight, blocks accurately, and had never been beaten until Klause outpointed him. A broken bone in one of his hands has kept him from the fray for some time. This type of fighter, if they escape the fiendish assault of the opening rounds, always go better every round in a bout of length. Klause is not the educatyed leath- erist that Houck Is, but his engine can chug and churn more cartridges, and of a more deadly calibre than the Lancaster lad. The Pirate favorite appears to possess better assimilative qualities than Houck, but Houck is so seldom hurt that a true line of his ability to shed punishment has not been thoroughly tested. In Boston and New York they pick Klause as the future title holder, possibly because he attacks on the same line that the old champion, Ketchel, did when under way. Dave Smith, of Australia, is the unknown quantity, but he will not remain in that remote region long. There Is a financial factor in finding Smith's real rating, and he will be brought over here by bis manager to pugillstically Bradstreet him. Smith may be another Fitzsimmons. He cannot be a poor fighter, unless the hobbles were on Papke, Clabby and Thompson. He beat the trio. Ketchel had shot the class to pieces with his punches; his death has left some stiff strifes for the lesser lights. THE RISLEY TEAM Those on the Bisley team list this year are: J.

FULL BOARD PRESENT City Council Sat Last Night and Disposed of Presseug Business Aid. Pattullo Is Still Anxious to Get Information About the Rainbow At the council sitting last evening there was a full attendance of the members. Mayor Manson was In his place as presiding officer. On the reading of the minutes of the last meeting, Aid. Smith, who was absent from the last session, having gone to Vancouver on private business, took occasion to make a statement relative to the request from the Industrial workers, with respect to a reported message having been sent to Victoria In which it said that the trouble here was being engineered by three criminals from Spokane. As acting mayor, Aid. Smith said no telegram was sent from the council containing any such language. Mayor Manson expressed his pleasure at being back again. He was »sorry that he was delayed In Victoria for a week, awaiting the arrival of Mr. Tate. He regretted that his absence had thrown more work upon members of the council and he made special reference to Aid. Smith and Aid. Hilditch, who had filled the position of acting mayor. S. P. McMordie & Co. asked for an extension in time on Second avenue work. This was referred to the streets committee. Geo. C. Stimson & Co., of Toronto, asked if the debentures had been disposed of. They requested an option on them. This was referred to the finance committee. The Gamewell Company suggested a syste mof fire alarms. This was referred to the telephone committee. Aid. Pattullo asked for a copy of the telegram sent by the acting mayor relative to the Rainbow, and also what message was sent to Ottawa seeking aid for troops. Aid. Hilditch said that he believed Aid. Pattullo could ask this but he would also like to ask Aid. Pattullo who told him that there had been any such messages sent. Aid.
