J. DEANH\nNEW  SCHOOL BILL.\nTho financial features of the new\nSchool Act Introduced by tbe government constitute an entirely new departure 1u educational administration\nin British Columbia. The general effect\nnnd the most noticeable, is to reduco\nvery considerably tbe direct government expenditure for education.\nPrior to 1893 the public schools' expenses were entirely borne by the provincial treasury. Then cities were required to bear a share of the cost, the\ngovernment's contribution being determined by the number of children attending. A special grant has been made\nfor the last two yeara for high school\nteachers.     ,\nBy the provisions of the new act tho\ngrants to cities of all classes will be\nbased upon the number of teachers employed. Victoria and Vancouver will\nreceive $350 a year for each teacher; the\nBtx cities of the second class, Nanaimo, Nelson, New WestemtnBter and\nRossland, LadyBmith and Revelstoke,\nwill receive \u00bb376, and the cities of tbe\nthird class, 11 In number, will receive\n?420.\nIn addition to the direct grant the new\nact provides that tor every dollar paid\nby city or rural district towards teachers' salaries, tho government will contribute another dollar, the government's\ncontribution In no case to exceed $100.\nMost cities will therefore receive $100\nper teacher lu addition to the direct\ngrant. Nelson will receive for each\nteacher, Including the supplement, $175.\nTbe supplementary system Is In vogue\niu the Maritime provinces.\nIn 1901 Nelson received by direct\ngrant for schools, about $1700, based ou\na pupil per capita grant of $13 and $BO0\nadditional for the high school. Under\nthe new act this city will receive $1125\ndirect, and by supplement should receive if present salaries are maintained,\n$1100 or $5225 ln all. Tbe salary list for\nteachers at present is $10,140 for n\nteachers. The total grant will be $5225.\nThe difference, $1915 will be borne by\ntbe city.\nIt Is expected that this year tbo city\nwill be required to pay for schools over\nand above tbe government giant about\n$8000. According to the new bill the\ncity will be required to pay about $000\nmoro than under the existing law.\nSkates\nThough the demand for skates during\nthe past week has been extremely large,\nour stock is still very complete.

This is a decidedly bettor method of settling a difficulty than\nresorting to a strike or lockout.\nEDITORIAL  NOTKS.\nGreat Britain's efforts to settle international difficulties hy arbitration have\nnover yet been crowned by success, so\nfar as Great Britain is concerned, and\nthe old rulo of compromise has apparently been resorted to over the North\nsea Incident.

B.G.\nA GREAT NAVAL BATTLE\nRUSSIAN AND JAPANESE   FLEETS\nWILL SOON MEET.\nTOGO HAS   PEWEIl   BATTLESHIPS\nBUT IN BETTER TRIM.\n- Any day now the cable may flash the\nnews of a great naval battle somewhere\nln the Indian ocean. Two powerful\nfleets are steaming to meet each other,\nthe Baltic fleet of admiral Rojestvensky, upon which the hopes of the Russians rest, and the war-tried battleships\nof admiral Togo, the Japanese naval\nhero. The point of Interest at the moment Is, where will they meet?\nBy some strategists It Is believed that\nthe llrst brush will come In the Straits\nof Malacca, or Uiereabouts, but Togo's\nfleet Is not at all likely to go there. He\nwill keep near his base, lt is thought,\nso that no fleet action is likely south of\nFormosa. He will need to be near\nJapan, so that damaged ships can he\nsent safely Into dock. To make It difficult for Russian ships to do this he\nwill flght south of Japan, a good thousand miles from Vladlvostock.\nTh\u00a9 Russians will do one of two\nthings. Bllber they will hug the coast,\nso as to be able to Intern in neutral\nports should the fortunes of war go\nagainst them, or else thoy will strike\nright out across the Paclllc for Vladi-\nvlstock. This however, is their least\nlikely course.\nThe exact condition of the Russian\nships is not known, and, although rumor 'has It that ono or two cruisers and\nseveral colliers are In a bad way, there\nis no definite Information of any Ber-\niious mishap.\nThe Baltic fleet sailed from Llbau at\n1 a.m. on October 10 of last year, bo lt\nhas now been at sea for Just four moths.\nWhon the fleets do meet we shall undoubtedly witness ono of the most deeply Interesting dramas that havo occurred In any maritime war of our time.\nThe Russian fleet is practically the last\nnaval hope of Russia, and If It Is destroyed Russia sinks to a naval rank\nwhich practically wipes her off the list\nof naval powers for many yeara to come.\nA comparison of the strength of the\ntwo Meets Is given below:\nBattleships\u2014Knte Suaroff, 13,510\ntons; Alexander III, 13.51S; Borodino,\n13,510; Orel, 13,610; Sissol Vcllky, 12,674;\nNavarln, D,176; Ossliabla, 12,671.\nArmored Cruisers\u2014Dmitri Donskol,\n5,803;  Adlmnrl Nakhlmoff, 8,500.\nProtected Cruisers\u2014Oleg, 6,675; Aurora, 0,030; Sviollana, 3,828; Almaz, 3,285;\nJemtchug, 3,200; Isumrud, 3,200.\nOf the seven batleshlps In this list\nthe four first named are of tho same\nclass, ami are modern vessels. They\nare unquestionably powerful ln every respect. Two wero launched In 1901 and\ntwo in 11)02. They may be compared not\nunfavorably with Uie British Formidable type of battleship, for, although\nthe latter have a displacement of about\n1,500 tons to their advantage, the armament Is similar in the two classes. With\nregard to protection the Ruslan ships\nhave a complete belt, and the principal\narmor Is of the same thickness in both\ntypes, hut the Russians are lacking\nsomewhat In the protection afforded to\ntheir secondary batteries and to the\nchannels for their provision of ammunition. The weight of armor carried by\nthe ships of each class is estimated to\nhe about 4000 tons.\nOpposed to theso vessels there Is the\nJapanese fleet which admiral Togo hns\nso ably commanded, and of which the\nfollowing is a statement:\nBattleships\u2014Ashai Shlklshlmn, 15,000\ntons; Mikasa, 15,200; Yashlma, 12,300;\nFuji, 12,300.\nArmored Cruisers\u2014Tokiwa, 9750; As-\nama, 9760; Yakumo, 9850; Azuma, 9430;\nIdzumo, 9800; Iwale, 9800; Kasuga,\n7583; Nisshln,, 7583.\nProtected Cruisers\u2014Takasago, 4300;\nKnsagi. 4784; Chitose, 4784; Itsuku-\nshlma,4277; Hashldate, 4277: Matsu-\nshima, 4277; Nanlwa, 3727; Taklchibo,\n3727; Akitshlma, 3150; Nltaka, 3420;\nTsushima, 3420; Suiua, 2700; Akashl,\n2700; Idzuml, 3000.\nIt is unnecessary to say very much\nabout these ships, which have proved\nthemselves on more lhan one occas-\nBion in action. The result of a meeting between the tried vessels of the\nJapanese fleet, with their crows trained\nand tested hy iho stress of battle, and\n*,he Russian Iships, ns to the crews\nof which it can only be said that their\ntraining must have beon hitherto of a\nvory prefunctory character, Is a matter\nupon which it Is undesirable to speculate.\nH.BK,\n^ ~BF*ND..J\u201e-\nROOMY\nSHIR\"!\nNo olher workin^man's shirt\nis made so big or comfortable or\nso stronyly as the H.B.K.

Both these\ntides have been referred to at some\nngth in The Daily News specials wlth-\nthe last, day or so.\nThe Toronto Newo has   this   to say\njdltorially on the subject:\nNo -doubt the western school question\n111    trouble    the government,   but it\nust not be forgotten that it will also\nmble the opposition. In the ranks\n|f an opposition there will usually be\nund men who regard such a question\na a crisis, not for tho nation, but for\nie party in power. Their reasoning la\nieclouB. \"The difficulty of the governed Is our opportunity. If they take\nlis-course they offend tho Protestants.\nthey take tbat course, they offend\nie Catholics.. Why should we help\n[hem out of a difficulty?\"\nTills is tho snare of an opposition, it\nj apt to think too much of the respon-\n'iiblllty of a government, and too little\n>f its own responsibility. If separate\nSchools are fastened upon the west, the\n;renter share of responsibility will rest\npon the-liberal government and its\nSupporters in parliament. But that will\ntot remove the burden of responsibility\n(ram the shoulders of the opposition,\nI Mr. Borden would take a determined\ntand against the forcing of separate\nihools on the west, it is probajble that\nhe west would be left free. Whatever\n:he rest of the dominion may have done,\n.mtiario has given its confidence to the\niarty led hy Mr. Borden. It gave him\ni majority in the federal election, al-\n,hough It was well known thnt he could\niot be premier of Canada, that he must\njo leader of an opposition. Does not\nhis loyalty Invest Mr, Borden 'with a\n)ectiliar responsibility? We ido not say\n.hat he is bound to carry out the ideas\njf Ontario, which gives him nearly two*\n.birds of his parliamentary following,\ntut we do think that In view of the\n\u25a0onerous support given to him by a\nprovince that knew he would be defeat-\nled, lie is bound to take a high and strict\nview of his duties as a leader of the\nopposition. This province at least may\nBay that if separate schools are fastened\non the west, Mr. Borden's responsibilities are as great as those ot the premier\npt Canada.\nChicago, Feb. 24.\u2014The Journal today says that president William R. Harper, of the university of Chicago, Is said\nto have made a determination that In\nhis case the X-Ray treatment will he\ngiven the fullest and most complete test\nthat It has ever been put to, as a cure\nfor cancer and a destroyer of the cancerous growth in the tissues. His\nfriends ibelleve that his force of mind\nand mastery of will power will help toward the desired result. Dr, Harper is\npossessed of a marvellous power of concentration, and It Is his plan to demonstrate at least the partial mastery of\nmind over bodily Ills. It Is pointed out\nthat Cecil Rhodes cured himself of a\ndeadly affliction after he had been given\nup by physicians. Dr. Harper, It is\nsaid, will follow the South African's example ihy using the utmost will force in\nconjunction with the X-Ray to shake\noff the disease. As soon as possible,\nDr, Harper in pursuance of this plan,\nwill gather all his vitality and resolutely go back to his work at the university.\nBRADSTREETS' REPORT.\nTrade Affected By Bad Weather\u2014Spring\nBuying Active.\nToronto.

Regarding Wnrsaw his excellency\nsaid the situation was very unsatisfactory. The strikers returned to work\none day and walked out the next. The\nmost serious matter waa the strike on\nthe Vienna and Vistula railroads, both\nof which belong lo the government,\nthough the former Is leased to a corporation. Therefore It is necessary to\nobtain permission from St. Petersburg\nbefore the demands or the workmen for\na ten hour day and higher wages can he\nguaranteed.\nA favorable answer, however, is expected immediately and the strike may\nibe ended tonight. Speaking generally\nhis excellency said:\n\"The whole strike movement Is ln\nthe nature of an epidemic. Starting\nfrom St. Petersburg It has ravaged other\n(parts of the empire. A strike In Russia is a very different matter from a\nsimilar movement in Great Britain or\nGermany, where the workmen are Intelligent and educated, while in Russia\nonly a few are able to read or understand what they are demanding. Such\na condition renders a settlement much\nmore difficult,\"\n'His excellency further asserted that\nthe agitation was undoubtedly entirely\nsocialistic and that there was no trace\nof its being of a revolutionary character.\nA police patrol in Alexander street\nhere tonight was suddenly attacked by\na mob and two of the policemen were\nfatally wounded by revolver shots.\nTlie town Is threatened with darknesB\nafter tonight because of the Inability of\nthe gas company to supply sufficient\ngas.
