SUNDAY, AUGUST 2, 1903\nPOPE LEO'S\nTwo Ballots Taken But No\nDecision- Come To\nIntense Excitement in the\nEternal City\nRome, Aug. 1.\u2014The first day of the con-\n. clave has ended without the election of\n\u2022\u25a0pope.\nBoth morning and afternoon tho members\nof the sacred college, except cardinals\n. Herrefo HNplnewt, CreftonJ, Langenleux\nand Coultte. who were confined to their\n_ cells by Illness, entered the Slstlne chapel,\nwhero after the solemn ritual appointed\nfor the ascension, they deposited their ballot In tho chalice.\nThat these gave to no candidate the necessary forty-two votes was made known\nby the smoke caused by the burning of\nthe ballots, w*..ui issued from the Blstine\nchapel. Tomorrow, the cardinals will vote\nagain both morning and evening but what\nthe chances are of their arriving at a decision before Monday no one can tell.\nIt was reported this evening that the\nRampolla party was ln tho ascendency,\nbut thla can not be taken as any Indication of the flnal result, as tho vote of\npope Leo's secretary of state may be\nsplit up, or given In its entirety to some\n. other cardinal. Rumor generally assigns\nMonday ns the most likely day upon which\nan election will occur.\nNo one here seriously expected the cardinals to select a pontiff on the first ballot; hence this morning few of the populace were present on the plazsa of St.\nPeter's though In the Immediate neighborhood a thousand gendarmes stood Idle\nIn the shade of the colonndes. Soon attor\nfour o'clock this afternoon, however,\ncrowds began to gather, Including priests\nand monks of all denominations, and by\nAve o'clock several hundred persons of all\nclasses were watching the Slstlne chapel\nfor the smoke, which gave the results of\nthe ballot. As evening drew near the\ncrowd increased, and Roman princes and\n. princesses drove up.\nPrince Orslnl, tho head of the Roman\nnobility, who sharer only with prince Col-\nonna, the herlditary'right to stand next\nto the papal t hi one. sat oh the steps of\nSt. Peter's beside nn old beggar woman.\nLike her, he watched Intently for the\nsmoke signal, but no smoke camo. The\nbells of the Basilica rang out the call to\nvespers but none went In. The priests\nof St. Peter'B, prayer books In hand,\nmuttered the evening office with an ever\nwatchful eye on tho Slstlne chapel. The\nsuspense became Intense, even the street\nurchins, who had gathred In large numbers\nto collect the discarded ends of cigarettes\nthrown away by the nervous crowd stopped their work, and gazed toward the\nchapel.\nSeveral false alarms caused a thrill of\nexcitement. Then came a rumor that a\npope had been elected, and many persons\nrushed to the Basilica to get good seats\nwhen the announcement should be made.\nTho Impression that a choice had beon\nreached was heightened by the appearance\nupon tho walls of the vatlcan of a few\nofficials In full uniform, as if for a great\nceremony.\nWhen six o'clock boomed from the big\nclock of 8t. Peter's there wbb a sea of upturned faces forced 1 ntense anticipation\non the Sistlno chapel's crooked tin smoke\nstack. Threo minutes^later from the conical top of the stack curled out a thlnlv\nstreak of smoke, so light, so faint that\nit was scarcely dlstinglushed. From the\ncrowd came a sigh of relief. Still watching with craned necks they saw the smoke\nthicken and then die down, and In two\nminutes alt trace of today's futile voting\nhad vanished Into air.\nSlowly, and with much speculation as\nto what had occurred within the conclave,\nand the likelihood of an election tomorrow,\nthe crowds dispersed.\nRome, Aug. 1.\u2014The first voto of tho cardinals In the conclave today did not result\nln tho election of a new pope.\nThe cardinals all awoke at an early hour\nthis morning to the ringing of a loud bell,\nto realise the solemn business before them.\nMass was said In the Pauline ehapel by\ncardinal Oreglia, the camerlengo, who afterwards administered the communion to\neach cardinal.\nThe scene was most majestic, when the\nmembers of the sacred college, as humblo\ncommunicants advanced to receive tho\ncommunion from the hands of the camerlongo who gave subsequently a short address on the solemn nature of the occasion.\n\u25a0 Afterwards each cardinal celebrated\nanother mass, either at an altar In the\nsala ducale or in his own rooms, at a table\naltar prepared for the purpose.\nBreakfast, consisting of a cup of coffee\nand rolls followed. This was taken privately by the cardinals ln their cells.\nThen tho great business of the day was\nat hand, At ten o'clock all the cardinals\nassembled In the Slstlne chapel for the\nfirst ballot.\nMany were the grumblings at tho uncomfortable beds, the heat, the odors and other\nnHsoomforts endured,, One cardial declaring he hal not slept a wink bocauso\nOf the mosquitoes.\nThe chapel presented a picture of much\nanimation and great beauty. Violet was\nthe leading note of color. Six candles on\nthe altar gave a peculiar light, in conjunction with the daylight streaming\nI through the windows and gleaming on the\nI long line of seats with their baldchlnnos\n(canopies) occupied by the cardinals Intent upon the business on hand.\nEverything In the Catholic church Is\n\u2022ymboile, even the baldchlnnos over the\ncardinals chairs in the Slstlne chapel are\na sign that each member of the sacred\ncollege has a personal part in the sovereignty of the vacant apostolic see, but\nwhen a pope Is elected they are removed,\nthe new pontiff alone remaining with his\nsymbol of power.\nThe cardinals went to the Slstlne chapel\naccompanied by their conclavists carrying\nportfolios and papers.\nWhen cardinal Oreglia was seated all\nthe others followed his example, prayers\nwere called, after which monslgnor Cal-\ngiano, the governor of the conclave called\n\"exit omnes\" thus announcing to the conclavists and prelates that they must retire and leave the cardinals alone.\nThe voting papers used by their eminences are somewhat different from those\nof 1878 being a little longer and narrower.\nThe printed inscriptions are the same,\nthe blank slips being filled In, at the moment of voting, with the name of the voter\nat the top and that ot the cardinal voted\nfor ln the center and a Latin quotation\nat the bottom. Some of the cardinals -u\nnot know how to fold their papers, which\ncaused considerable confusion. Cardinal\nOreglia demonstrated the folding of a ballot to those near him and they In turn,\nshowed others how It must be folded. Each\nballot was sealed, with no distinguishing\nmark.\nThe next ballot will proceed much more\nsmoothly and qulckty sh the cardinals will\nhave learned tho procedure.\nEach cardinal In turn holding his ballot\nbetween his first finger and thumb so that\nevery one present could see it, advanced\nslowly to the altar Where a large chalice\nwas standing, knelt and prayed briefly\nfor guldnnco and then, rising, took the\nfollowing oath:\n\"1 call God to witness, He who shall\njudge me, thatl elect him who I think\nshould be elected, according to God. This\nI promise to do also in the accesslt voto.\"\nSo saying, the cardinal dropped his ballot In the chalice, bowed before the altar\nand returned to his place.\nThe balloting took a very long tlmo as\nmany of the cardinals, owing to their advanced age nnd illness, moved slowly and\nwere obliged to have tho assistance of\ntheir colleagues.\nRome, Aug. 1.-0.16 p.m.\u2014A second ballot\nhas beon taken without resulting In the\nelection of a pope.\nTHE RICH NORTH COUNTRY\nBRITISH COLUMBIA'S GREAT NEW\nTERRITORY.\nITS REAL DEVELOPMENT OK\nJUST BEGUN.\nVancouver, Aug. 1.\u2014When Warburton\nPike, author, hunter, naturalist and student of the waste places of the earth,\nmade his memorable pilgrimage Into the\ngreat lone land of the north and gave to\nthe world his \"In the Barren Lands\"\nthere were many who while apprecltatlve\nof tho talent for exploration possessed by\nthe man who could live for years with and\nprecisely as the natives of the Arctics,\nnevertheless found It difficult to comprehend wherein Mr. Pike could find com-\nmensurnte reward for all his hardships.\nIt was all very well, they argued, to add\nto the world's store of geographical knowledge\u2014it was extremely patriotic on the\npart of this eccentric young Englishman\nto go through all he had that the wilderness of northern Canada might bo the\nbetter known In all Its characteristics, but\nafter all\u2014was not Pike something of an\nadmirable fool? The eccentricity of the\nEnglishman with a fever for exploration\n\u2014the Englishman who goes ahead of the\nflag\u2014was finally accepted as the one and\nonly sufficient explanation for the vagaries of Pike. Latterly, however, a new\nlight has dawned. Its first glimmer was\nmade manifest at the time that Mr. Pike\nwith captain CHve Phllllpps-Wooley and\na few other kindred spirits, secured the\nIncorporation of the Cassiar Central railway, the author of \"The Chlcamln Stone\"\nas well ns Mr. Pike, having had his eyes\nopen during his visits to the enchanting\nwilderness of northernmost British Columbia, and\u2014though not a miner\u2014realizing that fortunes tn precious metals are\nthere awaiting the pick and shovel, the\nstamp mill and the monitor. At the time\nthe Cassiar Central was chartered, with\nIts exceptional rights to mineral within the\ngranted territory, the original promoters\nsaw boundless fortunes virtually within\ntheir grasp. Their associates were, how-\nover, South African financiers with that\npeculiarity of certain men of action that\nis to many Incomprehensible\u2014they wanted\nconditions In the new land of their Investment to share the precise nature of the\nAfrican reefs to which they had become\nfamiliar and out of which their millions\nhad originally been drawn. The nature of\nBritish Columbia Is essentially dissimilar\nand so Instead of recognizing and taking\nInto account the differences in formation\nand the fact that copper-silver ore In superabundance Is sometimes a better proposition than gold ore of the grade familiar\nto South Africa, the original Investors in\ntho Cassiar Central allowed to Blip through\ntheir fingers what was probably as valuable a franchise as that of the Hudson's\nBay or the East India company. Those\nwho like John the Baptist went before,\nthe pioneers of development and enterprise, well knew how great a mineral\nregion they had seen, but In its very magnitude and richness found obstacles in\nconvincing others of the fact. One of tho\nco-workers with Mr. Pike In the exploration of the Cassiar Central grants was J.\nW. Hasklns, who now Is Interested with\nR. L. Paterson the Toronto type founder,\nIn the projected British Columbia Northern & Mackensle Valley Railway\nwhich alms to open up the north land with\na network of development lines aggregating in mileage any of the existing transcontinental syntems, and reaching with\ngiant arms for the business of the Klondike on the one hand, tho Parsnip River\ncountry, Atlin, the Mackenslo valley\u2014in\nfact, tho whole western Canadian north.\nWhile Mr. Hasklns was In the meagrely\nprospected regions of Cassiar his eyes\nwere opened to the richness of the district, and now he Is a foremost figure In\nproposals for exploitation on a wholesale\nscale. Just at present he Is in Vancouver\nas the representative of the Rosella Mining Co., his business being to supervise\nthe setting up of a preliminary hydraulic\nplant that has ben ordered for the company's concessions on Rosella and Spring\ncreeks, tributaries of the French river,\nitself an affluent of the upper Dease. The\ncompany has upwards of five miles of\ncreek and bench ground ln this auriferous\nlocality, discovered and abandoned In early\ndays after being merely scratched by\nminers who saw no value in ground that\ncould not be made to yield immediate fortunes by the most primitive of placer\nworking methods. Seven thousand dollars\nhas already been spent by the company\nIn surveying and testing Its ground, and\na force of 20 men will be put to work this\nseason and left In over winter. Next year\nthe real development will begin, the\ncompany adding appreciably to Its mining\nplant, extending the area of operations and\nputting two steamers of its own Into\ncommission, the one on the Stlktne and\nthe other on the Dease, with a sufficient\nnumber of trading posts all along the\nroute to the mines to answer all requirements, The present preliminary order of\nthe company in Vancouver Includes half\na mile of piping in sizes of from 10 to 24\nInch, two No. 4'monitors, ball bearing and\nof the very latest design, a sawmill capable of cutting 10,000 feet of lumber per\nday to meet the company's requirements,\nand a variety of other Bupplementary\npieces of camp equipments. Mr. Hasklns\nhas also Invited estimates for tho building of tho company's two steamers and\nIf prices can be agreed upon their construction will begin at once.\nIt Is Intended that they shall be thoroughly adapted to the conditions of the\ncountry and the peculiarities of the waters\nupon which they are to be used\u2014vessels\nof 60 to 100 tons capacity, extremely light\ndraft and small and compact for convenience Ih handling, the error of the past in\nsteamboatlng on the Stlklne and the Dease\nhaving been proven to be too vaulting\nambition\u2014big and unwieldy steamers, with\nloss of time inevitable and ultimate loss\nand dlBastcr. At present the machinery\nfor the new camps goes from here to the\nStiklne, thence up river to Telegraph\ncrook, 73 miles by pock train to the foot\nof Dease lake, thence by scows down lake\nand river\u2014and a final pack overland.\nNaturally profits nro eaten into by the\ntransportation of materials and supplies\nIn this roundabout fashion, yet the pay\ndirt is there to reward tho expenditure of\ntime and energy and money. Tho entire\ncountry Is In fact an unscratched mining\narea, as Dr. Dawson has pointed out the\nnatural location for the discovery of the\nworld's next great placer camp, since It\nIlea ln what is virtually the centre of the\ngold belt of which the Klondike and famous Cariboo are the two ends. No fewer\nthan 28 gold creeks within a radius of less\nthan 20 miles illustrates iho'ichowrf' richness of tho territory, which Is peculiar\nin its network of clear and navigable\nrivers, making the entire country for\nuntold millions of square miles tributary\nto the railway system that Is to come in\ngold, in coal, In furs, ln wheat\u2014In all\ncommodities virtually that go to make up\na country of varied as well as vast resources.' The Thibet Creek Mining Co.\nmay be classed as the pioneers ln this\nfield, the Rosella Co. leads the way, however, with aspirations and ambitions commensurate with the magnitude of the\ncountry and its natural prospects. All\nmining men aro aware of tho fortunes\ntaken out of McDames In tho old days\nand by most primitive methods; there aro\nscores of hundreds of other streams apparently equally rich and which with modern facilities of mining aro ready to contribute countless millions to the world's\ngold supply. The Llard mining district\nalone contains approximately fifty million\nsquare miles of virgin territory In which\nthere aro perhaps a hundred whites and\nChinamen\u2014the pioneers of a host that are\nto come. Not only are there the mines\nbut the contributory and supporting Industries must jointly thrive\u2014for there nro\nwell timbered valleys, hills,' foothills,\narable valleys and meadow lands, coal and\neconomic minerals In abundance, and all\nawaiting development by energetic men\nand necessary transportation facilities,\nwhich latter the B. C. Northern and Mackenzie Valley Co. aim to provide on terms\nthat mean a profit to tho country, not a\nconstant drain.\nA BRUSH WITH\nTHEjONVICTS\nThree of Attacking Party\nAre Killed\nstolllng tho 160 horse power boiler that\nrecently arrived, has been completed.

Hardy & Co., Advertising and\nPress Agents, 30 Fleet Street, London,\nE. 0., England.\nA PROFESSOR OF DREAMS.\nIt appears that British Columbia is suffering from a visit of ono of those theorists, or theoretical economists, who Imagine thoy can grasp tho fulness of meaning of a not simple problem at one glance.\nThe Individual ln question, professor Adam\nSliortt, of Queen's university, Kingston,\nis sold to be studying labor conditions in\nthis province, and he is credited with having made the ridiculous statement that the\nidea entertained among labor unions is\nthat they own, or ought to own, the whole\nearth. \"When a capitalist,\" he says, \"in\nattempting to maintain a foothold for\nprofits, points out In connection with mining, for Instance, that he has erected various buildings and other structures, supplied machinery, opened the mine and\ntransported the output and ought, therefore to have some return on his outlay,\nhe is apt to be met with the simple but\nsweeping assertion that as a matter of\nfact he has supplied none of these things.\nEvery one of them, it Is said, Is the product of labor, and the miner, aa a laborer,\nfs entitled to tho whole value of his output\"\nIt would be Interesting to know where\nthe gentleman obtained the Information\nupon which he bases so ridiculous a fairy\ntale. He must be a personage ot the\nVerdant Green type who has allowed himself to be \"stuffed\" by parties who have\nnot been slow to estimate his mental capacity and his verdancy. The assertions\nquoted are so absurd that they really call\nfor no refutation, but unfortunately It is\nsuch idiotic statements that lead to the\nerroneous Ideas that some well Intentlon-\ned but not well balanced people entertain\nregarding labor unions and the work those\nunions are endeavoring to accomplish.\nThe professor finds that the reason for\nthis \"crudity of view\" on the part of organized labor in British Columbia lies ln\nthe very Isolated and local character of\nthe labor orgainzatlons, \"They have as\na rule, only their own whims and notions\nto consult, and do not feel the check of\nany larger Ideas or interests. To preach\nto theso men, or to try to demonstrate\nto them that their views aro absolutely\nunreasonable, and can only make for the\ndestruction of all commercial and industrial prosperity, - would be utterly vain.\nTheir higher education can only come\nfrom gradual Incorporation In larger organizations, In touch with the public opinion of the continent and governed by a\ncorresponding sense of responsibility. The\nmisfortune Is that not a few politicians\ndo not scruple to play upon and trade\nwith the worst delusions of the laboring\nclasses. They see their way to power or\nInfluence by doing so, and that Is enough,\"\nAnd tills shows how very little the\nlearned professor has profited by his visit\nHad ho been endowed with ordinary powers\nof observation he would not have many\nhours in the province to have discovered\nthat tho labor organizations here are neither isolated nor local. On the contrary\nthey aro allied with and are part of the\ngreat organizations whose ramifications\nare spread throughout Canaad and the\nUnited States. He would have learned\nthat tho difficulties experienced by labor\norganizations have been In that they have\nhad Lo assort their rights to band themselves together for their mutual protection and betterment. He would have\nascertained that they have had to overcome tho reluctance of partisan governments to enact legislation In their Interests und they have been compelled more\nthan once to take extreme measures to\ngain the privilege of affiliating with those\n\"larger organizations\" of which the professor speaks but about whose status ln\nBritish Columbia he Is profoundly and\nlamentably Ignorant. His criticisms will\nbo read with derision and pity by those\nwho know what the light has been n this\nprovince In order to bring about the Improved conditions under which labor exists\ntoday. A. fair day's pay for a fair day's\nwork has been the aim of the labor organizations; they have striven to keep tho\nlabor market for their own flesh and blood\nInstead of letting It go, as It has been, to\nthe Mongolians, whom somo of the benefactors, the openers of mines, the builders\nof machinery, etc., he speaks of delight\nto employ. The only conclusion one can\narrive at after perusing his wonderful\ncriticism Is that his observations did not\nextend further than Vancouver Island, or\nif they did his mentor was one of those\nInterested persons who will not see good\nIn labor organizations of any kind or\nunder any circumstances.\nENGLISH ARBITRATION BOARDS.\nThe good work done by tho conciliation\nand arbitration boards of Great Britain\nlast year Is amply demonstrated by tho\nreport, the fifteenth annual report, issued\nby the boards on tho lockouts and strikes\nduring that year. The report states that\non the whole the year was less affected\nby labor disputes than was the preceding\nyear. At the beginning the number ot\ndisputes recorded was 442, involving 25G,-\n667 wage earners and the aggregate of\nworking days covered by the disputes ln\nprogress that year was 3,479,255. That\nseems at first sight to be an enormous\nloss of time, but If spread over the total\nworking population It amounts to only\nhalf a day per head during the year.\nThe report says that the greater number of the disputes were ultimately settled\nby the parties themselves or their representatives, but 29 wero terminated by the\ngood offices of the boards as against 41\nso adjusted the previous year. Tho principal work done by the boards consisted,\nhowever, in the prevention rather than\nthe settlement of the actual sloppnges,\nand the total number of cases known to\nhave been considered by 67 boards was 1,461'\nand of that large number 711 were either\nwithdrawn or settled Independently of tho\nboards, 73 were still under consideration,\nand the remainder, 678 cases, were settled\nby the boards and arbitrators or umpires.\nIn doing that, in preventing so large a\nnumber of strikes or lockouts, the boards\nhavo dono good service, a service which\ncannot be overestimated. If such bodies\nare able to bring about a settlement and\nthus prevent the loss of time and of\nmoney, which go with every labor dispute\nwhen carried to extremes, their existence\nIs more than Justified. Not only in Great\nBritain have conciliation and arbltraton\nboards been successful ln this work, but\nthe experience of similar bodies ln the\nUnited States has been tho same. The\nservices of the boards aro sought by both\nsides, arbitration Is purely voluntary and\nwhat they have accomplished Is the best\nproof of their usefulness.\nEDITORIAL NOTES.\nStrongly opposing tho Chamberlain preferential scheme the London Spectator says:\nWe contend thnt the closer union shnll bo\ndelayed till the great sclt-govornlnfr colonies, or as we would prefer to call them,\nthe great free nations within a free empire\nhave grown to sufficient wealth and population and power to enable them to enter\nupon a closer union with tho mother\ncountry on something liko equal terms. . .\nTill then let them grow up in freedom\nand without any interference from us, even\nthough such Interference Is meant for\ntheir good. .. . Let them trade, freely and\nlive freely, and not as the \"tied houses\"\nof the London Arm. Above all, let us\nmake closer unions with the colonies, not\nby badgering them for money contributions to tho fleet or the army, but by helping them to develop their own manhood\nand by accepting from them the priceless help t{iey gave us ln South Africa\u2014\nthe help of bravo hearts nnd strong hands,\nand of men ready to die for the common\nflag. The best way of securing a closer\nunion with the colonies Is to let the ties\nof kinship, of good feeling, and of brotherhood grow nnd develop, and inspire the\ncolonics with the confidence that they are\nabsolutely free, and that we consider such\nfreedom to be more essential than free\ntrade or protection, or than figuring out\nwhether this or that colony does not get\nmore out of the mother country in naval\nor military protection than sho gives Jn\nthe way of imperial contributions.\nThere remains only ten days In which\nvoters can be placed upon the provincial\nlists.

In the last year book\nof St. George's, Dr. Ralnsford asks for\nan endowment of a million dollars, stating\nthat he needs at least forty thousand dollars a year In addition to what ho can collect from his congregation for maintaining \"our church and extensive plant.\"\nMr. Phillips shows from the financial statements of tho church that In the 20 years\nSince Dr, Ralnsford re-organized Bt.\nGeorge's It has spent two and a quarter\nmillion dollars-nt least four-fifths of It\nupon the \"plant.\" Last year, the church\nspent about ninety-seven thousand dollars,\nor the income of two and a half millions\nat 4 per cent.; almost all of this went Into\ntho \"plant.\" These figures, of course,\nmake no account of the free inbor of more\nthan 200 workers, who constitute what may\nIbe called the minor superintendents,\n. Dr. Ralnsfords superintends, not only a\nJ^taff of assistant clergymen, who devote\nIthemselves almost altogether to spiritual\nTand ngjlgious work, but nlso a grent organization which is carried on almost exclusively by toymen connected with the\nrjhurch. \"His wardens are nn executive\ncommittee, his vestrymen aro a board of\ndirectors, his regular loy assistants nre\ndivision superintendents, and his workers\nare skilled labor.\nAffairs once regarded as purely secular\nabsorb most of their time and thought.\"\nThe significance of tho work at St.\nGeorge's, and the real explanation of its\nI remarkable growth In 20 years from a\nmembership of a few hundreds to one of\nmore than 80DO, lies very largely In tho\norganization of these lay members. Mr,\nPhillips declares: \"It Is more thnn a\nchurch; It Is moro than a 'plant;' It is a\ncomplete society, a complete social organization In itself, a sort of model community, founded upon an idea which lies\nnt the basis of the activities of all the\ngreat Now York churches, up town and\ndown, nowadays.\"\n\"The St. George's conception of univcr-\nisal brotherhood, the conception of all\nthese church model communities, hns been\nand Is that every human being, regardless of surface differences, is endowed\nwith a double capacity that Is not affected by the law of Inequalities\u2014the capacity to give, the capacity to receive. St.\nGeorge's recognizes that the passion for\nprogress is as universal ns Its need. It\nhns not collected alms from the rich; It\nhns not patronized the poor; it has organized rich and poor, educated and uneducated, fashionable and rngged, foreigner\nand native, for mutual help, for team\nwork.\n\"This viewpoint for theory and practice\nIs Important; It defines the chasm between these democratic church plants and\nthe aristocratic church plants of Europe\nnnd of America nlso\u2014for, unfortunately,\nAmerica too has aristocratic church\nplants, Irnltntcd from Europe, where the\ncaste curse Is at least explicable, and perhaps not wholly Inexcusable.\n\"Tho entire membership of St. George's\nIs orgnnized into sub-nssoclatlons for the\ndevelopment of Intelligence, skill and character. Some are nominally teachers:\nothers nre nominally pupils; but all are. In\nfact, at school to each other day after\ndny, evening after evening. Singing, acting, tailoring, manual training, shooting,\nkindergarten work, social entertaining,\nhousekeeping, plumbing, carpentry, gymnastics, wood working, cooking, the care\nof babies, dressmaking, millinery, basket-\nweaving\u2014these any mnny other activities\nare engaging the energy and enthusiasm\nof tho 8000 members of tho church In their\ncapacity as members of the church plant.\"\nMr. Phillips emphasizes tho met thnt there\nIs no sldo of life upon which St, Georgo'H\ndoes not seek to touch.\n\"Are you out of work? There is Its employment buronu. Aro you sick? Thero Is\nIts medical department nnd Infirmary.\nDo you ned a lift over an Impossible place\nln the rond? There Is tho relief department. Do you wish to improve your mind?\nLibrary, rending room, lectures, debating\nsociety. Is it the physical Hint you seek?\nGymnasium, military drills, baths, addresses on health and sanitation, Do you\nwish to learn a trade? Manual und Industrial training for both sexes. Housekeeping, cooking, sewing, the enro ot\nhome and family? You need not look\nfurther. Are you in search of amusement? Milliards, chess, cards, in the\nmen's club; dancing, receptions, teas,\nfairs plays, gcrmuns, parlor games. Do\nyou wish merely to sit quietly and reflect? St. George's church, largo and\ncalm and thought, inspiring, always open,\nthat tho wayfarer may enter and sit and\nremain as long as he wishes.\"\nUndoubtedly the most Interesting thing\nabout St. George's, from a secular point of\nview, is the social life of the church. Tho\ngenerni conditions are summarized by Mr.\nPhillips as follows:\n\"The general superintendent permits no\none to be negligent, no one to be lost sight\nof. About six hundred of his subordinates\nlive in private residences\u2014 the rich, who\nperhaps most of all need the benefits that\ncome from working In and for the plant.\nAbout 1000 live in apartments and hotels\n\u2014tho well to do, who must be kepi In\nlino for what they can do nnd for their\nown sokes. Another thousand live In\nboarding houses\u2014the young fellows and\nyoung girls who nro working, nnd are\npresently to set up housekeeping as men\nand women of families. Tho rest\u2014about\n5500-llvo in tenements, nnd, liko the others\nthoy must bo carefully looked after, The\ngeneral superintendent not only goes himself, not only sends his Immediate staff,\nnot only sends his volunteer regular\nworkers; ho also sends these 8000 to cnll\non each other, lo keep track or each other\nto keep each other up to the mark, that\nthey may benefit the plant and bo benefited by It. Ho goes and sends his men\nnnd women, his boys and girls, out,\nnlways out, after thoso who are falling\naway, after now men nnd new women,\nnew boys and now girls. Now York Is U\nmadly busy, an Incessantly changing, ?.Uy\n\u2014there aro on the average 3000 change*!\nof address In St. George's membership annually. It Is a tremendous task Just to\nkeep together tho organization, to prevent enthusiasm from flagging, to mako\ngood Inevitable losses, and to show on advance each yenr. And It is Inspiring to\nnolo that St. George's and lis liko prosper\nami grow whore plants based upon patronizing and pauperisation shrink and\nwither.\"\nMr. Phillips states the problem thus:\n\"Tho abysmal craving of New York-\nwest side nnd oast side, hotel nnd npart-\nfrlends, for sympathy, for the gayety and\nIntimacy of tho private circle, for social\nlife, such fiU people can have In other\ncities, In the towns, In tho country even.\"\nSt. George's seeks to respond to this\ncraving. \"It gives the older peoplo a\nchance to smile, the younger people a\nchance to court, nil a rlmnco to work In\nthe sunshine of fellowship.\nTWO LEMON CREEK MINES.\nNansen nnd Lady Franklin Groups ore\nPromising Properties,\nWm.

J. Ashley, who formerly\nfilled the chair of political economy and\nconstitutional history In the university of\nToronto, and is now dean of the faculty\nof commerce In the university of Birmingham, has published a work which is attracting considerable attention tn economic circles in England, entitled, \"The\nAdjustment of Wages.\" It is the fruit\nof a study In the coal and Iron industries\nof Great Britain and America. The work\nIs mainly concerned with the large principles of trade unionism and the problem of wages. But It considers theso\nquestions as exemplified In the coal and\nIron trade; It presents a special study by\nspecial trades; and points to the possibility\nof a far-reaching analysis of British industry. Not till that has been attained\ncan thero be any true synthesis, making\npossible a wider understanding of tho\ngreat Industrial problems with which\nprobably the future politics of England\nwill be mainly concerned.\nProfessor Ashley outlines the relative\npositions of the coal fields of England and\nScotland, showing for each of them the\noutput, number of men employed, and the\nparticular advantages of transport, neighboring Industries, quality of coal, etc. The\ncoal trade highly localized, and Involving\nskilled labor, presents one of the best examples of trade union organization. The\ntime has now pnssed In England when the\nunion of miners cannot get \"recognition\"\nfrom the employers; on the contrary, as\nprofessor Ashley shows, federations of\nemployers now welcome the existence of\ntho unions as simplifying the difficulties\nof Individual negotiation and the fixing\nof wages. The unions, which include the\nbulk of the miners of the country, have a\nrecognized status, and adopt a policy In\ntho matter of wages. It is not many\nyears since they accepted and, for the\nmost part, abandoned the system of the\nsliding scale, by which wages varied according to prices. But now the appointment of boards of conciliation has become\nuniversal; the rate of wages Is fixed over\na table between representatives of employer and employed; and the principle\nof a minimum and maximum wage, a certain percentage under and over a flxed\nstandard, is generally accepted. Professor Ashley suggests that the sliding\nscale may yet bo applied between these\nlimits, without forgetting that prices are\nnot always sufficient evidence of profits.\nThe chapters on the English coal trade\npresent perhaps the most striking illustration of the development of organized\nlabor in England. It is not simply that\nlabor has proved strong enough to treat\nwith the capitalist, but that It has secured\nfor Itself a definite status; that the trade\nsociety has become a business unit, recognized by the employer and accepted by\noutsiders. The firm adoption of a minimum wage\u2014though by reducing the quantity of work it may often mean something\nless tJmn a living\u2014shows that the men\nare conscious that labor must become a\ndefinite cost of production\u2014so that where\na \"living wage\" cannot be paid the article cannot be produced.\nProfessor Ashley Is of opinion that the\nlabor problem In America will develop on\nthe same lines as In England. Thus far\nIt has been behindhand owing to the\nabundance of foreign labor and the tendencies of tho leaders to succumb to the\ntemptations of political ofllce But in the\nbituminous coal Industry the sheer force\nof Individual competition between masters\nprovided just tho necessary spur for the\nrecognition of unions. Employers were\nglad to find tho miners organizing themselves when they saw their moro unscrupulous rlvalB cutting down prices by\nmeans of sweated labor. The lato strike\namong the anthracite workers of Pennsylvania illustrated the infectious character of mutual defence among laborers.\nA vivid chapter on \"Tho Anthracite\nProblem\" shows how tho \"primitive philosophy of Individual enterprise,\" how the\n[short-sighted, hand-to-mouth machinations of the \"economic man\" were rudely\ninterrupted by the mnrvellous organization of groups of employees belonging' to\na dozen different nationalities, Thus far\nAmerica has moro than competed in the\ncoal trade with Great Britain; it hns had\na larger available stock of labor; Its coal\nis far more plentiful; It Is more easily\nmined; and there hns been freer scope to\nIndividuals. But tho tlmo cannot be far\ndistant when tho workman In America\nalso will be able to contend that the cost\nof labor must to somo extent bo a fixed\nquantity; that It will not be able to fall\nbelow a certain point.\nProfessor Ashley concludes his Interesting work with a chapter on tho \"Legal\nPosition of Trade Unions,\" and discusses\nthe Taff Vale case fn relation to similar\nquestions In America and New Zealand.\nHe seems to tako a view similar to that\nwhich has been so often emphasized by\nMr. Hnldune, that the law relating to\nconspiracy needs codification.\u2014Victoria\nTimes.\nTRADES AND LABOR.\nAnnunl Dominion Convention Called at\nBrockvllle on September 22nd.\nOttawa, Aug. l.-The official call for the\nannual convention of the Trades und Labor\nCongress of Cnnnda wns Issued from the\nofllce of the secretary-treasurer P, M.\nDraper, today.

CHAMBERLAIN'S DOOM\nHAS BEEN SEALED BY HIS OWN\nHAND,\nIGNORANT AND HEADSTRONG, HAS\nBEEN A CURSE TO HIS COUNTRY\nAn Intensely interesting contribution to\nthe discussion ln Joseph Cnamberluln's\npreferential tariff scheme Is an article\nfrom the pen of that brilliant and forceful, if somewhat unpopular publicist, W,\nT. Stead.' In a cable to the Chicago Record-Herald Mr. Stead says:.\nIt Is now clear that tho man who has\nexercised a baleful ascendancy over the\nfortunes of the British empire for seven\nyears Is doomed. Whether the British\nministry survives the debates of next\nweek or whether It lingers for a month\nor a year, Mr. Chamberlain's career Is\nover, and the world will soon be free from\nthe menacing shadow of a statesman who\nhas Men the curse of his country ever\nsince he took a hand ln the Jameson-\nRhodes complot against the Transvaal republic. He falls as he rose\u2014by his own\nhand. He has been self-unmade as ho was\nself-made. After deserting the liberal\nparty ovor home rule he has now shattered the unionist party by his plunge for\nprotection.\nThere is a grim Nemesis presiding over\nthis tragedy of a great career. When Mr.\nChamberlain came home from South\nAfrica he found that everyone was sick\nand tired of war, and more or less disappointed by the results. He soon discovered that the Education act, which\nhe hated, had roused the temper of resistance In the country which would be\njlnevitably fatal to tho ministry unless\nsomething very sensational could divert\npublic attention from the question. The\nIrish land bill he did not like. Ho believed it to bo unpopular with the British taxpayer, and probably ineffective as\na means of settling tho Irish land ques-\n\u25a0tlon.#\n[Worst of all, from his own point of\nview, was the Imminent probability that\nthe Transvaal government, owing to the\ndearth of natfvo labor at the mines,\nwould bo unable to pay the Interest on\nthe loan with which he had saddled the\nnew colony. If, therefore, ministers were\nnot content to wait In dull despair the\nrising of tho tide of publfc Indignation\nwhich would overwhelm, something must\nbe done to force a new Issue upon the\npublic.\nMr. Chamberlain, who Is as Ignorant as\nho Is headstrong, did not hesitate long\nas to his course of nctlon. He seldom\ndoes. He Is honestly deluded as to the\npossibility of converting the heterogeneous congeries of self-governing republics\nwhich are labeled the British empire Into\na *>enl Ironclad Jingo empire\u2014a military\nunit, a taxable unit, a fiscal unit.\n\u2022He tried to make it a military unit at\nthe coronation, and sir Wilfrid Laurier\ncheckmated him; he tried to induce the\ncolonists, who pay 66 cents a head for the\nImperial army and navy, to raise their\ncontribution to the British standard,\nunder which every man, woman nnd child\npays close upon W per annum for war\npurposes. But the colonists laughed him\nto scorn.\nOne last resourco nlono remained. By\nmeans of a preferential tariff ho Imngln-\ned he could make the empire into a kind\nof a flscnl unit. But in order to do this\nIt would be necessary to Increase iho\ncost of Jiving of 41,000,000 citizens at home\nin order to put a little more profits into\nthe pockets of 12,000,000 colonists over sen.\nAmong tho 41,000,000 at home there nre\n12,000,000 who are nlways underfed, bndly\nclothed and housed, at hand grips with\npoverty. To starve 12,000,000 at home, to\nfatten 12,000,000 abroad, commended itself\nto Mr. Chamberlain ns imperial statesmanship. It need hardly be said thnt the\n12,000,000 starvelings do not see It In that\nlight, and Mr. Chamberlain's groat coup\nhas failed\u2014failed utterly; failed even\ntragically. The ministerial patient was ailing badly, no doubt. But Dr. Chamberlain, by way of cure, has simply put a\nbullot through Its brain,\nWhatever misleading nonsense may bo\ntelegrnphed you ns to the chances of his\nsuccess, you enn snfely disregard them.\nHe has no chnnce, absolutely none. Block\nruin stares him in the af ace. Tlio gambler hns staked his all upon his last card,\nand lost.\nThen Mr. Chamberlain himself docs not\nventure to believe thnt lie can carry tho\nconstituencies with him. at least not until\na second general election. Everyone else\nknows that he has upset the unionist\nnpplecart as badly as Dr. Jnmeson upset\nthe applecart of Mr. Rhodes by the famous\nraid.\nThere In a close parallel between tho\nraid and tho protectionist manifesto, but\nIt Is closest In the utter flnsco in which\nboth hnvo culminated.\nSo complete is Mr. Clmmborlnln's discomfiture thnt tho only question which\npeoplo aro discussing todny Is whether the\nking will entrust the formation nf the new\nministry to lord Spencer, the liberal\nleader In tho lords; to sir H. Campbell-\nBnnnermnn, the libernl lender In the commons, or to lord Rosebery, the liberal\nlender in partlbus.\nIf the distracted cabinet falls to patch\nup Its differences and the members should\nresign next week, the king will not send\nfor lord Rosebery. It will he the first\noccnslon In which (he king Will have to\nface a ministerial crisis, and be will he\ngoverned by the strictest rules of constitutional precedent. He probably will send\nfor lord Spencer, who In that case undoubtedly will undertake the formation of\na temporary ministry which will wind\nup the business of the scsbIoii nnd Appeal\nto the country.\nWhether lord Rosebery will consent to\nservo in such a ministry Is n moot point.\nBut what Is not a moot point is that for\nnil practical purposes tho unionist ministry Is in extremis, and that it is Mr.\nChamberlain's parlcldnl hand thnt dealt\nthe fatal blow.
