Ford, in liis review* of tlio South African war situation, says : The Chinese war diverts attention from South Africa. This is perhaps fortunate, for the heat lias been terribly sovero for London, and worrying is dangerous unless ifc ean bo done: undorneatlr a straw hat. It is probable that lord Roberts',campaign has nofc been going well, although the situation is not clear, and thoi;e may bo a pleasant- surprise in store, for the public. Anyhow, ib has been generally believed the Boers wero rounded up in a mountainous corner of the Free State and that they were falling back demoralized into the Transvaal, but these expectations \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd have not been justified. General Dewet has contrived to I overthrow the cordon with a single column whicli may now be heading for the railway or swooping down upon the convoys or isolated posts. He has also left behind in the mountain fastness a force of sufficient strength to compel generals Hunter and Rundell to operate cautiously. Meanwhile general Botha's force has been pressing closely around Pretoria since Nitral's Nek, and lord Roberts does nofc appear to be accomplishing any useful result by sending columns to Rustenburg aud northward from Waterval. The long silence which lias followed the brief announcement that the Boer fox had broken from the mountains with two brigades of mounted trops, seems to indicate that he has found cover in some unexpected quarter. . It is hardly possible to form any conclusion from the meagre despatches now printed from the theatre of war, as the censorship is so vigorous .that important movements pass unrecorded. The fact has come out' that general Paget was . practically under siege for weeks at Lindley, aud that . g4fe't*ral Dewet mado repeated '\"attempts to capture the town. 'This\" was not hinted at until a day or two ago. Military men fail to explain why the Boors have succeeded in capturing one body of British troops after another while bhey invariably elude pursuit themselves, disappear when apparently surrounded and entrapped, and then reappear elsewhere and work further ..'.\"mischief. Their horses ought to be worn out by this time, and they cannot be sure of. getting remounts or supplies, but their mobility is unceasing, and the so called flying columns on the British side are unable to overtake, hunt down and capture the commandoes. Lord Roberts' friends are asserting that he is badly served by the generals in the case of the Free State, and aro assuming that as soon as General Dewet's forces are dispersed tho campaign in the -TransvaaHvill-be-i'ushed- The military theory is that Lord Roberts does not wish to leave, but that he aims to hold General Botha's force near the capital while General Millard's division.with Lord Dundonald's cavalry is sent across country through Eimelro to shut the Delagoa railway and station itself within striking distance of Koomatipoorfc. Lord Roberts is now warned that the time ia approaching when, instead of being the critic, he will be exposed to relentless criticism for allowing traitors and perjurers to go unpunished, for feeding spies and for paying excessive prices for farm produce to burghers who are ready at a moment's notice to take up arms afresh and leave their families to bo supported at the cost of the military chest. There are so many bickerings and jealousies among the military commanders and their social allies in Mayfair that allowance must be made for these signs of discontent with Roberts. There is Wolseley's gang, military and social, which is . watching for a chance to discipline and humiliate lord Roberts. There is also the Aldershot circle, with a large annex in Devonshire, which is \ufffd\ufffd\ufffddevoted to the fortunes of Buller, and i& striving to promote them at the expense of Bobs. Moreover, there are smaller coteries of the friends of Methuen, Gatacre, general Colville and others, and these are centres of criticism and disaffection whenever lord Roberts' work is reviewed. Vanity Fair does not appear at its best in war time. It is the least reasonable and the most unpatri otic section of England during the period of storm and stress, when the masses here and in the colonies are splendidly loyal to the country, and grateful to tho man of , genius who transformed the situation in South Africa, and is laboring under stupendous difficulties to bring the war to a close. OLD AND NEW DIPLOMACY Conger's Cable Discussed. New York, July 22.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdIn regard to the Conger message and tho Chinese situation, Mr Ford says in his London cable letter to this morning's Tribune: Tho simplicity of young America has confounded the wisdom of European diplomats. The practical device of the state department for finding out by a cipher message whether Minister Conger is still alive has startled the foreign office, dazzled halfpenny journalism and silenced the requiems for the dead ordered by the dean and chapter of the metropolitan cathedral. Naturally diplomatic enterprise of this iinconventiorial kind is regarded critically in this conservative country, where there is a prejudice of long standing against anything,' so untutored and un: fettered as American statecraft. Minister Conger's message is not considered conclusive, either by the British officials or by the London press, Avhich has been printing detailed accounts of the massacre at Pekin. As for the dean and chapter of St Pauls, who have been prematurely arranging . a service for the dead on Monday, and , suggesting that \"The dead march from Saul\" should be played in every church tomorrow, words are lacking in which to express their astonishment over American credulity and meddlesomeness. ^ - There is a general agreement that the processes of American diplomacy, while simple and childlike, are irregular and unworthy.\" \"Why has not our foreign office \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd thought of sending a cipher message to minister MacDonald ?\", ask-' ed* au indignant \"Briton-;last\" night. ' \"Why should news of, this importance be allowed to come from Washington instead of from our own sources of information ?\" Secretary Hay's opinion, cabled to the morning papers, that' the message was authentic and that minister Conger was alive' last Wednesday, is respected even by the critics who are most loquacious on the subject of belated dispatches and the artistic qualities of Chinese mendacity. Every journal demands the postponement of the burial service with its solemn requiem until there is certainty respecting the fate of the legations and refugees. From the Provincial Gazette. i - - _.

SALMON FISHERS' STRIKE No Agreement Beached. Victoria, July 21.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdRumors and reports were flying ad lib this morning concerning the state of the fishermen's strike. It was said that the Japanese at Steveston were in a starving condition and had resolved to go out this evening no matter what the whites might do or say. The Japs are said to be in sore distress and not in receipt of sufficient food from the union to influence them to stand by the whites through the present crisis. A telephone inquiry to Steveston did not result in a confirmation of bhe story, but there appears to be something in the wind which is being kept very close, by the can- ners. It may be that the rumor arose from the fact that a large number of boats went out on the north arm yesterday afternoon, coming in with a very good catch. All the canneries on the arm from Cassidy's to the Gulf of Georgia had boats out. Fifteen from Cassidy's each averaged in four hours' fishing about 75 sockeyes. The boats were under the protection of the special constables, but they did not stay out long as it was considered inadvisable, owing to a report being received to the effect that McClain was coming over from Stevenson at the head of 150 men for the purpose of making trouble. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd A white man who went out from the Greenwood cannery at Eburne is reported to have returned with 77 fish. Everything points to the run having, commenced on both branches of the .Fraser, 135 salmon having 'been taken in one drift at Garry Point,'- which lies . between the Scottish-Canadian and the Gulf of Georgia canneries on. the , main river. ' ' C. H. Hamilton, of the Gulf of Georgia cannery,* stated this morning that no fishing was being done off Steveston, everything, being tied up as, tight, as J a bottle. He said \"that '.it \"was\" useless ' for~.the strikers to persist in their demand of 25 cents, as the canners simply. ,could not pay it, and. he advised that the Gulf of Georgia cannery be closed down in view of the fact that there was no prospect of settlement. An agreement has been drawn up by the Fishermen's union embodying the terms upon which a settlement may be reached. Ifc provides for a fixed price for fish throughout the season and that a month's notice must be given by either side desiring to alter it in any manner. Among other things the agreement. stipulates that a uniform number of fish shall be taken from each boat when a limit is placed whether owned by the canners or the property of private individuals; that all fishermen who have been connected with the strike shall havo\" their \"boats\" mend that tho offer be accepted. The canners state that at 20 cents there is no profit in packing, and that even at 15 cents there is very little \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd. at anything over that figure they would lose money. J. H. Watson was asked this morning if he had anything to say in regard to the statement that he and Mr. MacChiin had been unnecessarily fomenting trouble. . Mr. Watson said that in his opinion if the fishermen, had been governed by the ideas of ^Mr. MacClain and himself the strike would have been settled long ago. ' He stated that they had no*6 influenced the fishermen iu setting.-the price of fish that would be acceptable to them. He said the men had been so incensed at the canners that they had made up their minds to have 25 cents if possible. - ' WORK ALREADY CUT OUT Teturnedr and that no bad feeling shall be entertained against them; that a man owning his gear shall be at liberty to sell fish to any cannery lie pleases, and that tho strike shall not bo declared off until 6 o'clock on the morning after the agreement is signed. The executive of the Fraser River Canners' association met the delegates from the Fisherman's union this morning at 11 o'clock to receive the report of what tho union had decided to do in connection with tho offer of the canners made on Wednesday. Tho delegates explained that the fishermen were unwilling to accept it, as thoy feared that the price would not remain long at 20 cents; that their views as to the size of the run might not agree with the canners, and that the price might be forced down to 15 cents and remain there throughout the greater portion of the season. If this turned out to be the case trouble would result, and to avoid this delegates asked that an offer be made upon a fixed basis for all the year. Upon consideration of the matter the executive committee made an offer of 18 cents, to remain in effect all season. The delegates stated that the 20 cents but the canners refused to entertain such a proposition. As the delegates were not empowered to come to any agreement, they asked for an adjournment till 3 o'clock this afternoon, to enable them to communicate with their respective unions. After the conference was concluded some of the delegates were on the street, and it is understood that they will recom- WILL NOT PUSH ON TO PEKIN Conger's Message Discounted. New York, July 22.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdNo fresh news of importance is published this 'morning from China. Li Hung Chang arrived at Shang-Hai yesterday morning. The\" European consuls had previously met to decide to permit him au unarmed escort of one< hundred men when passing through the settlement. A strong feeling prevails against the honors paid to him at Hong'Kong. - The Berliner'Tageblatt considers it doubtful whether the powers will-respond'to the. United States request that the'allied troops should push on to Pekiu. The movement is believed to^be precipitate and might involve a terrible defeat and heavy loss of life. The Observer says that the news that the legations at Pekin were safe on July\"* :18th appears so palpably unreliable'that it* is surprising that any one should have been led to believe itTit;'- - The absence,of a date ' makes Mr. 'Conger's message worthless, y It seems, highly-improbable .if not imppssible'jfor a message-to.1 be brought\"by.-,c\"6i'<:'nerJ;from Pekin to' Shang Tung iri> less .than two days., This of itself is a sufficient cause for distrusting the message which it says ' England is desirous that Americans should swallow whole. SPARKS FROM THE* WIRES. - The factory and plant of the Lorette Cheese factorp at Lorette, were burned yesterday, with 0,000 pounds of cheese. The loss is $4,000. A young man named A. Warner, employed by the jewelry firm of J. J. Zock & Company, on Adelaide street, West, Toronto, placed a $160 diamond for a moment in his mouth for safe keeping, and acci- dently swallowed it. The diamond has not yet been recovered. La Patrie, of Montreal, says that Hon.

Clarke, Pope, Montague, Quinn, Bergeron and Casgraiu, all members of the houso of commons. Six new cases of smallpox have been reported in Montreal since yesterday. This makes about a dozen cases, which are now being treated. The fourth death since the outbreak occurred yesterday. The cases developed within the past twenty-four hours are scattered over different portions of the cifcy. The healfch authorities are doing all in their power to prevent a further of the disease. Li Cold-shouldered. Shang-Hai, July 22.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdLi Hung Chang, who arrived here today on the steamer An Ping from Hong Kong, was coldly received. The native officials sent an escort of three armed troops, but as the French consul objected to their passing through the French settlement they were withdrawn and earl Li landed under an escort of 12 French police. Once out of the French jurisdiction he was handed over to the Cosmopolitan Settlements' police,- who escorted him to his place of residence on the Buff- lingweil road. The An Ping, having munitions of war on board, violated the harbor regulations by entering, and was compelled to leave the limits. The consuls have decided not to call upon Li Hung | Chang officially. Notices of Motion.

The Last Chance Fire. July 22.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdrSpecial to The with unfavorable circumstances it would very likely fall short. The cotton report showed an average condition of only 75.8 compared with an average of 89.9 for the past ten years. In view of the fact that tho acreage of cotton is the largest on record and futures are now selling at a big advance, it is probable that the money value of the 1900\" 1901 crop will far exceed any year on record. MAY HEAR FROM PEKIN SOON Kaslo, Tribune]\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdThe cry has been raised by some Sandon people that the fire at Lasfc Chance was the work of an incendiary. This is possible but not probable. It is declared that the actual monetary loss is $25,000. The directors of the company were elected last week and were in Sandon at the timo of the conflagration. President Hendryx is expected to arrive at once and give orders lor rebuilding. Passenger Steamers Collide.

There were six hundred passengers aboard the two vessels, and terrible scenes followed the collision. Ifc is feared that some others have been droAvned. United States Wheat Crop. Washington July 22.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdEstimates of the fall wheat crop of the United States, based upon the last government report, indicate a yield varying from 470,000,000 to 500,000,000 bushels. The actual crop in 1899 547,000,000 ; in 1898 675,000,000, and in 1897 530,000,000 ; so we are likely to have the smallest crop of the lasfc four years. The estimates of the corn crop average about 2,200,- 000 bushels, which if realized will be the second heaviest crop on record. It is, however, too early to indulge in any reliable calculations as to the corn crop. Under favorable conditions j it might exceed these \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd figures, and Chinese Still Distrusted. London, July 23.-4 a. m.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdSir Chi Chen Ioh Feng, Chinese ambassador in London, took tbe unusual step yesterday of making a Sunday call at the foreign office. As lord Salisbury was absent the visit was without special result, but sir Halli- day Macartney, British secretary to the Chinese legation, admitted that communication had been practically reopened with Pekin and that messages from sir Claude MacDonald, the British minister, and other foreign envoys, might be expected almost immediately. He said he hoped the trouble' would soon' be over since the Chinese government -was doing its Tutmbst'tb overcome the difficulties and-to control the lawless element.' \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd In his opinion the Americans had taken the most common sense view of the situation,, and he insisted that China ought * not to be misjudged. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Against' the suspicion that Li-Hung Chang had any but a sincere pacific object in view he protested \"'warmly, declaring that all stories,, about -the\" perfidy -and CHINA'S APPEAL FOR HELP United States' Attitude.

Thus, according to the story of the Chinese^ legation, a few days more should bring a solution of the great mystery.- - Nevertheless no one in England believes that the alleged despatches and edicts are anything but subterfuges to hide the real situation as long as possible and to avert retribution, by sowing discord among the powers. From Shang-Hai comes a report that the empress dowager and the court are moving to Hsian Fu, in the province of Shan Shi, to which large stores of rice are being sent, and that when these arrangements are completed the remaining viceroys will declare against the foreigners. According to the Che-Foo corres- _pondent_of. the JDaily^Mail -the-fall- of Tien-Tsin has so disheartened the Chinese that they are seeking terms of peace. He says that several attempts havo been made to send messages to Pekin, but so far wifchout any known results, and adds that rumors are again current that the Russians are reaching Pokin from the north. It is impossible to confirm or deny these statements, but either one might explain China's efforts to gain time. Li Hung Chang's visit to Shang- Hai seoms to be a complete failure. Except the Chinese customs officials no one has visited him. Sheng, the taotai (chief magistrate), gave the consuls a cordial invitation to meet him at luncheon, but all declined. A Murder Mystery. Chicago, July 22.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdThe police officials are investigating a mystery at the stock yards, which they think is another Leutgert case.

He was a\ntrooper in \"C\" Squadron, Roberts'\nHorse, and the captain of the\nsquadron wrote Mr. Reid's relatives\nthat he was killed in an action at\nCorne Drift, on March 31st,' and\nwas laid to rest with several other\ncomrades on the field of battle.\nThe captain paid the supposed- dead\ntrooper tribute as being a soldier\nalways willing to do his duty with\nkeenness and with pluck. But\ntrooper Reid was not sleeping his\nlast sleep beneath the veldt of the\nOrange Free State, as the following extracts from a letter to a\nsister go to show:\nWatervaal Government,\nNear Pretoria, April 7th, 1900.\nYou will be surprised - when you\nread the above address. I am\nsimply a prisoner of war. It is no\ncrime in-particular. I was taken\nprisoner with several others on\nMarch 31st, and I have no\ndoubt by the time you\nget this you will have\nheard all particulars respecting* my\ncapture. It was little short of a\nmiracle that T escaped being shot,\nas my helmet was knocked off, :and\nthe same shot killed my horse; then\nanother fellow came on top \u2022 of me\n. with his horse. ' So there were two\nof us and two horses .all in a heap,\nand the bullets were dropping all\naround us like a shower of hailstones. But we managed to, free\nourselves and got \u2022 away to a ditch\n100 yards, distant, and stopped\n\u2022there until the firing ceased. -. Then\ncame the Boers and we were made\nprisoners along with fifty others of\nour regiment. The Boers took 254\nprisoners altogether at that fight.\nYou will be pleased to hear .that we\nreceive kind treatment, and that we\nhave good shelter -and. plenty, of\nroom in which to exercise. We also\nhave a good supply of water. So I\nthink I. shall be able to, pass my\ntime away, as lam in good health\nand spirits.

Black Beauty, sailed by Mr.\nTaton, was second, Redcoat, sailed\nby Mr. -'Routh, was third, and\nWhitecap was last. Mr. Robert\nwas the skipper. Duggan led all\nthe way. One thing noticeable\nin the racing, was that none of the\ncontestants_seemed_to_display_any\nespecial agility or ability in handling the light sails, although Duggan did the best work, and at times\nwhen the smart \u2022 shaking out of a\nreef would have helped some of the\nunder canvassed boats, the skippers\nseemed to lack sufficient confidence:\nin their crews to give them necessary orders.

The following is an\nextract from tho papers :\n\" There has also been referred to\nthe undersigned a petition signed\nby the War Eagle Consolidated\nMining and Development Company,\nLimited, and a number of other\nmining-companies,\"praying for the\ndisallowance of chapter 49 of the\nStatutes of British Columbia, 1899,\nintituled \"An Act to amend the\nInspection of Metalliferous Mines\nAct\/' ; '\u25a0;., .,.. ,.,:.\na* Section 13 of the Inspection of\nMetalliferous Mines Act, Revised\nStatutes of British Columbia, 1897,\nchapter 134, provided that no boy\ntinder the age of sixteen years\nshould be employed underground\nfor more than fifty-four hours in\nauy one week, or more than ten\nhours iu any one day.\n\" By section 4 of the act now in\nquestion, the said section is repealed\naud another substituted, by which\nit is enacted that no person shall be\nemployed underground in any\nmetalliferous mine for more than\neight hours in every twenty-four,\nhours, and this is. the provision\nwhich gives 1'ise to the claim for\ndisallowance, it being urged that\nthe limitation of employment to\neight hours per. day is materially\ninterfering with and injuriously\naffecting the mining business- in\nBritish Columbia, and that the act\nis unconstitutional for a number of\nreasons stated in the petition. <\u25a0\n\" The undersigned has attentively\nconsidered these grounds, but he is\n\u25a0of opinion that none of,the reasons\nurged affect the validity of the act.\nIt is quite true that there are\nseveral decisions of State or United\nStates courts holding similar legislation unconstitutional, but these\ndecisions have proceeded upon\nreasons which, do nofc apply at> all.\nto the constitutional , system of\nCanada. The undersigned considers\nthat it,was competent for the ;pro-;,\nvincial legislature to limit the number of hours work to be allowed in \u25a0\nmines within the province, as a,\nmatter of property and civil rights,\nor of merely local or private nature,\n. or as coming within some one of the\nother enumerations of provincial\nauthority.\"\nReported Battle.\nNew York, July 22.\u2014There was\na Cape Town dispatch yesterday\nto the effect that lord Roberts had\nattacked general Botha's army at\nMiddleburg and had fought a big\nbattle, but there was no official\nconfirmation of the report at midnight.

GOVERNMENT LABOR GAZETTE ' Toronto Globe. The editorship of tbe Government Labor Gazette to be established at Ottawa in accordance with the bill introduced and carried through \"parliament by Mr. Mulock,has been accepted by W. L. Mackenzie King of Toronto, who is a son of John , ^Klug, Q. C, and a grandson of Wil- \"~* liani Lyon \"Mackenzie, the leader, of- the movement for-responsible government in Canada in 1S37. Mr. King, though yet a very* young man, has had a brilliant university career, having devoted himself specially to (the study of political economy and of law, both iu the University of Toronto and at Harvard. At the latter, the oldest scat of learning in America, he has won . the degree of Ph. D., the s highest ' distinction conferred there. He has done newspaper work, held a fellowship .of political economy in the University of Chicago and a similar fellowship at Harvard, and has studied in London,* Oxford and .\" Cambridge, in England, and in Berlin and other centres on the continent of Europe. Among the ser- ' vices he has already rendered to the cause of labor has been his investigation of the sweating system in Canada, upon _i^whiclrlie_wfote_in_tlro_Toron\"to_aird\" Montreal papers. \/He conducted a similar inquiry for the Consumers' League of Boston. At the time the editorship of the Labor Gazette was offered to him he had under consideration the offer of the appointment as assistant to professor Taussig, the celebrated head of the \", department of political economy at Harvard, which he has declined. The LaborGazette Js ,to bo .published monthly\/, in connection with \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd the new labor department at Ottawa, is to be modelled on the lines of the British Labor, Gazette and similar publications, and will !'. contain statistics and other necessary facts of interest^ and importance to Canadian labor and industries. It will not be an organ of any political or partisan opinions. Under.Mr. King's editorship there will-be issued also an annual report upon labor matters throughout the Dominion. Of his thorough competency for the post there is no manner of doubt, and his honesty, no less than his ability, is known to the labor organizations, with j which he is popular for the good work he has already done.

Green, in-the- proportion of a tea- spoonful to a pailful of water is recommended. Another plan, and one which I would recommend, is to use'poisoned bran, which is, put out in little heaps through the fields. One pound of Paris Green to fifty pounds of bran, thoroughly mixed dry, and then moistened with water, just a little sweetened with sugar. This mixture is exceedingly attractive to cut worms, being preferred to' plants. It will take about ten pounds to an acre of potatoes as ordinarily planted. A good plan to\" prevent egg-laying is to put potash in the form., of kainit on the soil. .

When Boyett returned a few minutes later he began shooting at once and scattered the loungers. Errp stood his ground and said: \"You've got all the best o' me. Some feller took my gun. \"Stand still, then,\" cried Boyett, for Earp was steadily advancing, with blood in his eye, for a quick grapple and possession for the gun. \"Oh,.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd!\" remarked Mr. Earp, as he sprung forward. Boyett's weapon cracked, and the third of the Earps to die fell, shot through the heart. Nelson Branch\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdBurns Block, 221 Baker Street J. M. LAY, Manager. When the Earp brothers lived in Tombstone they did more toward making it a thrilling-place of residence, for the- four brothers were much in evidence thereabouts in the early eighties. ' In 1883,' however,\" the community decided it had enough of the quartet, and a solid front made up of six-shooters^ and Winchesters was presented to them. So they left Tombstone and migrated to.Gunnison, county, Colorado. Finally, they were run out of Gunnison, and Wyatt Earp migrated to California, while Warren went back to his old stamping-ground in Arizona. ' They had a sister, Jessie,. too, who lived with them in Tombstone. She was known as the virtuous one of the family.-Virgil ,as the oldest, Wyatt as the wisest, Julian as the bravest and Warren as -the most foolhardy. Virgil was killed in Tombstone and Julian in Gunnison. \"Ike\" Clauton, a famous member of the cattle thieves, the opposition faction to the stage robbers in Tombstone, ' married Jessie Earp. Then he found it necessary to kill her-brother. Julian, and then Warren and Wyatt found it necessary to kill Clauton and make their charming sister a widow. * For Jessie had dared to marry a man with whom her brothers had a feud and she must be disciplined. All of the Earps were gun fighters for the love of it and men of prompt courage and bitter revenge. Each of them has killed numerous men. Wyatt is credited with ten and Warren with fully as many. It used to be said in Tombstone that any of the Earps was fit to \"pull and centre\" a shot in less than one-tenth-ofra-secondr-^7\" = Warren Earp was nearly fifty was years old at the time of his death, tall, athletic, grim-visaged and a \"man of honor.\" That is, he would not allow any one to question his veracity. This trait existed in all the brothers, and when Wyatt Earp's.\"'. decision of foul was disputed in the Shiarkey-Fitzsimmons fight he made this statement:. \"The foul blow of the night was plainly seen by me. Fitz' smashed with his right on Sharkey's shoulder. Then, with an up- percut with the left, he struck the sailor below the belt. Sharkey was leaning over, and the blow knocked him down. It -.was clearly foul, and before the ^sailor moved I mentioned that the fight was over. The first blow was weak, and I believe the second blow was'intended for an uppercut, but it struck foul. No man on earth has ever questioned by honor. I have been uv many places and in peculiar situations, but no man ever said till now. that I was guilty of., a dishonest act. I will repeat that I acted with all fairness and with a judgment that was as true as my eyesight. I saw the foul blow.\" . Educating Eastern Canadians. It is reported that a movement is on foot in immigration circles fco introduce 1000 Japanese farm' hands into Manitoba for the harvesting, to take the place of men who annually come up from Ontario. Japanese will work for half tiie... wages at present paid to Eastern Canadian farm hands, and would in winter occupy their time in getting out wood, fence rails, etc. If the scheme is carried out it will bring Ontario workers face to face with the cheap Mongolian labor problem that has and is still causing so much, discontent, and, trouble in labor circles;on the Pacific coast. The fishermen's strike still continues, and the salmon canning' industry is at a standstill. If a settlement is not speedily effected, the consequences'of the shut down of .one of the principal industries of British Columbia are likely to be serious. Why American Jockeys are Preferred. \"Ashplant,\" an English authority on racing,' has this to say about American jockeys in a recent number fof the Sportsman: It is contended that the Yankees now get the pick of the riding. Be it so, there must be some sound reason. ' It ' has seemed to me that more than one race I have \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd seen has been thrown away because sooner than - run the risk of being beaten, 7a; head by a Yankee, the English j jockey has ceased to persevere to the bitter end. No one argues that Americans are better \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdhorsemen than English jockeys, but it is now ' apparent that . their methods of race riding are such as to place them at a very great advantage-^-the , disposition of. weighty shelter from the wind, and, tocmy way of thinking, what is perhaps more important than either, the fact that an American jockey does not pull his horse about. . Getting off nicely, he is delighted to take advantage of a good start, if he has obtained one, instead of pulling his mount in behind some other horses. Unpalatable as it may be, some of the English horsemen have already taken leaves out of the Americans' books. By andn)y we shall see them all doing it. Smartness is Not Safety. Toronto Telegram. After all is said and done, Wilfrid Laurier is the ablest, the strongest, the best man in his own government.'' Yet the strength, ability-and-superiority-of-its-leader- are not the pilots which guide the Laurier government in the hour of peril. Bungling statesmen who can improve niuety-nine out of one hundred chances to blunder surround sir Wilfrid Laurier. Their cheap smartness is his counsellor. When his government was asked to investigate wrong-doing in the Yukon, to investigate the West Huron and Brockville atrocities, or to act upon charges against the character of the emergency food, did Wilfrid Laurier trust to his own genius or allow his government to be guided by his own instincts ? No, sir Wilfrid Laurier is usually strong when he is guided-by his own impulses, and his government is usually weak and contemptible when it is guided by the cheap smartness of the Sif tons, the Sutherlands, the Mulocks and the.Bordens. Too Fast and Too Far. Toronto Telegram. It is not the duty of the senate to nag and annoy the government or to reverse the verdict of the house of commons upon questions of detail like those involved in the postal zone bill. It is the duty of the senate to stand between the country and the consequences of hasty action by the house of commons on large questions like the Yukon Railway Bill. There was little reason to criticize the action of the senate in giving the deathblow to a bill attaching salaries to judgeships, which would bo used as rewards to the government supporters in the Montreal district. Canada has not forgotten that the senate was never virtuous at the expense of its friends in office. Its virtues have almost always been uniformly displayed at the expense of its enemies. It behoves the senate, therefore, to remember that its constitutional power to intervene in a crisis should not degenerate into a habit of interfering for mere party effect. 'Supposed to be Andree's Party. Indians hunting on. the east coast of Hudson Bay have brought, word to the Hudson's.-Bay Company's post on - the west coast of James Bay \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd that they found \" last spring a vast quantity of wreckage, the bodies of two white men, and a man in the last- stages of the death struggle. The Indians .reported that they could not understand the language he spoke, but it was not English. He died while they -were there, and they returned to the trading post without bringing any evidence of the strange occurrence. It is .believed by the officials of the Hudson's Bay Company ~ that the Indians -witnessed the ending-of Andree's attempt to reach the north' pole by balloon. . They had- never seen a balloon, but from their description of the -wreckage the offi cers are convinced that it was the \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd remnants of Andree's airship. A: .party guided by the same Indians has set out to bring evidence to establish the identity of the party. Early last fall people near Moose Factory asserted .they saw a large balloon passing.to the northward,, and this tends to confirm the''story; of the Indian.hunters. .VOU' League Games.
