'12.\u2014James Bryce,\nlate British ambassador to Washington, was last night entertained at a\ncomplimentary banquet at the National Liberal club, Sir Edward Grey\noccupying the chair.\nReplying to the toast of the evening, Mr. Bryce made some interesting\nreflections upon affairs In the overseas dominions, particularly Canada.\nThe Dominion, he said, had already\nbecome a great nation and with her\nunexampled prosperity sho had every\nprospect of becoming one of the most\nhappy, wealthy and orderly communities the world contained. She enjoyed\nthe advantage of possessing as leaders of her two great parties two men\nof high character, who were regarded\nwith unqualified respect hy every Canadian. Canadian politics were strenuous, but they were not bitter. He did\nnot think he had ever heard In Canada any word throwing the least suspicion upou the integrity, patriotism\nand high elevated spirit, either of\nLaurier or Borden.\nCanada, Mr. Bryce declared, was\ndeeply and sincerely attached to the\nimperial connection and recognized\nthe duty that lay In her to join in the\ndefence of the empire. There were\ndifferences of opinion as to the particular form which her contribution\nshould take, but there were no differences as to the duty, and no difference\nIn the willingness to perform it. Two\nthings were particularly encouraging\nln Canada, as well as Australia and\nNew Zealand. One was the purity of\npublic life.\nPublic opinion maintained there the\nhigh standard which had been had In\nthis country since the days of Chatham and Pitt and no man who was\nseriously tainted could hold his ground\ntu politics. In thQ second place, the\njudicial bench was absolutely above\nmsplclon and that was entirely due\nto the fact that the British precedent\nhad been faithfully observed. \u2022 Mr.\nBryce went on to refer to \"race antagonism,\" which was becoming acute\nIn certain parts of the empire.\nWe had given our imperial citizenship to all our subjects, he said, but\n(Continued OS Fage Five.)\n(By Dally News Leased Wire.)\nOTTAWA, Ont., Dec. 12.\u2014In an interview today the Hon. L. P. Pelletier,\npostmaster-general, stated that after\ngiving the matter considerable\nthought, he had decided to make a\npublic statement as to the parcel post\nregulations, regarding the question of\nthe transmission of intoxicating\nliquors. At first Mr. Pelletier declined to make any statement as to the\nregulations, until the whole scheme\nwas worked out, and the regulations\ndrafted and issued.\nHowever, in view of the numerous\ncommunications received at thc department daily from those who believe In temperance principles, and in\norder to avoid giving these people so\nmuch trouble in writing the department on the subject, the postmaater-\ngeaeral has come to the conclusion\nthat as his mind has been made up\nfrom the beginning on this point, ho\nmay as well let the public know that\nIntoxicating liquors will not be allowed to bo transmilted by the parcels\npost.\nIt has ibeen Incidentally remarked\nthat perhaps thc postmaster-general\nwas doing this to please the Dominion alliance. Mr. Pelletier's answer to\nthis Is thut he was not doing It at\nthe special request of the Dominion\nalliance or any other organisation\nwhich directly or Indirectly might be\nconsidered as a political or quasi political organzlation; that the question\nhad been decided on its merits and\nto further the good administration of\nthe postal service.\nThe postmaster-general was shown\na letter published In the press, in\nwhich the question was put, as to why\nliquor should be prohibited from tho\nparcels post when It. was considered\npermlssable and proper for transportation by railways, steambots, etc. He\nanswered that he could give many\nreasons, but that he had no intention of discussing the matter at great\nlength, Ho was satisfied to give two\nreasons for the moment. In the first\nplace, he had recently notified the\npostal employes (particularly those to\nwhose care money is entrusted) that\nif they used liquor they would be dismissed.

They decided\nthat they would form a league by\nthemselves, barring nobody from taking part In the games, and a committee composed of D. Smeaton, W. W.\nFerguson. N. H. Cummins, II. C. Griz-\nzelle and B. Allen was appointed lo\nmake arrangements to have team3\nrepresented at a meeting that will be\ncalled on Thursday evening next at 8\no'clock, when rules governing the\nleague will be submitted and officers\nelected. Tho learns constituting this\nleague will .in all probability be the\nHardware; Tigers and Rovers, who\nafter the controversy decided to pull\nloose from the  Y.M.C.A.\nAfter -these delegute3 had finished\nthe amateur clause supporters decided\nto. call a meeting for tonight when\nthey, too, will endeavor to organize\nleague. They are the flankers and\nthe Y.M.C.A. The meeting of the amateur supporters tonight will he held\nat 8 o'clock.\nOn Monday the Hovers will hold a\nmeeting, at which they will reorgan\nize under their old colors nnd decide\non plans for the season.\nIn the meantime the hockey fans\nof the city will await results with\nsonic interest. It was the same amateur clause that caused the split when\nau effort was made two years ago to\norganize a city amateur league. On\nthat occasion the tennis decided to\nle*i\"m '.-' e r*\"\"iteur business alone and\nplayed a bc.'-.*   .^:y successfully.\nTWENTY-FIVE   THOUSAND\nPAID  FOR TINKER\n(\"By Dally News Leased Wire.)\nNEW YORI>, Doc. 12.\u2014Three of the\nmost important baseball trades mude\nIn the National league In recent years\nwere consummated tonight, involvln;\nmore than half the clubs of the league.\nChief among the deals Is the disposal\nof Joe Tinker,, recently deposed\nCincinnati's manager.

Mr. Staples resigned his seal, to accept a position\non tlio Dominion grain commission and\niu October of hist year-Mr. Alex Morrison was elected in succession hy n\nmajority of 7S4. the largest In the history of the rifling;\nIn South Lanark, which has been\ncontinuously Conservative since Confederation, the contest is an unusual\none in that while there are three candidates in Ihe running none of these\nis a member of the Liberal party. Dr,\nManna is the official Conservative ran-\nd'date. while opposed to him Is Lieut.-\nCol. nalderson. also ji well-known Conservative, who has for many years\nhad parliamentary aspirations, hut\nwho has always failed to secure the\nsupport of a majority of the nominating convention. The third candidate\nis Mr, Arthur Ilawkes. whose appeal\nto the \"British born\" in the reciprocity campaign of 1011 undoubtedly contributed something, at least, toward\nthe overthrow of the government of\nthat day. Mr. Ilawkes is appealing to\nthe people of South Lanark as au\napostle of the \"Canada First\" movement. Inaugurated by himself and Mr.\nJohn A. Cooper of Toronto. One of\nthe objects of this movement, and the\nchief, is to oppose any direct, contribution by Canada to the Imperial navy\nand to advocate the eonstruotio** of\na Canadian fleet, unit instead.\nWhile there is not the same public\n.Interest being manifested in these\n: two by-elections as in other recent\n; contests of a similar kind the result\nin each is lu its way quite as important, as in any ot the others.\nTODAY'S   TWO   BY-ELECTIONS.\nTwo Dominion by-elect ion-* lake\nplace today\u2014Maedonald in .Manitoba.\nvacated hy the acknowledgment by\nMr. Alex Morrison, the successful Con\nser.vaiive candidate, that corruption\nhad been practised in his behalf by\nagents, and South Lanark in Ontario.\nwhere an opening has occurred\nthrough the death of lion. .1 C.

W. Myles, a supporter of ihe\nLiberal pu'fty. fu comparison with tlie\ncampaign of a little over a year ago\nwhen Mr. Morrison was first elected,\nthe present, contest is an exceedingl)\ntame one. A person reading the Win\nnipeg papers might no; become awan\nof the fact that a by-election was tnk\ning place in a Dominion constituenc*.\n;v-;..edlately adjoining the city.\nIt would be folly to attempt to pre-\ndiet, the result of today's polling, -but\nit may he interesting to note lhe constituency's political record.

It would be a mistake If this\nwere not done. The first idea suggested, that of :m International exposition, is one that is entitled to every\nconsideration. There is no doubt hut\nthat an \u2022\u25a0xposllioii of the kind suggested would enable Canada to place hefore the world uncontrovertible evidence of her progress since confederation and at the saint* time demonstrate\nanew the riches, resources nnd possibilities of the Dominion.\nOne of the essentials to the success\nof any such undertaking is a directing\nhead of executive ability and one '\u00bb\nwhom the public generally has confidence. For this position Hon, Treffle\nBerthlaume, editor and proprietor of\nLa  Presse.  the hig  French daily  of\nMontreal and Canada, in nn open letter suggests Sir Hug-h Graham, editor\nand proprietor of the Star, the big\nEnglish dnily of Montrenl and Canada,\nSir Hugh has replied, assuring Mr.\nRerthiaume of his willingness to cooperate in every way possible in making the exposition a success, should\nit be decided to hold one. Until that\nhas been decided it would be premature to discuss who should be the\ndirecting head, hut this much can he\nsaid--that should the idea of an exposition he carried into practice.

This calling; is,\njn the contrary, one of the safest. German statistic-- show that the farmer\n,uns neary ten time*- as many chances\njf being killed as does the miner. Anv\narican statistics are incomplete, .but\ngreater use of machinery by the American farmer would Increase the risk\njf accident.\nUnited States government data\nproves that while the number of coal\nnliiers killed In 1312 per 1.000 employed was 3.15, tbc ratio of lives lost\nimong Gloucester fishermen was 11.7\njer 1,000 employed.

Both\nsides complied with the order.\nThiB information Is contained in a\ndespatch received tonight by Sir\nLionel Carden, the British minister,\nfrom Rear Admiral Sir Christopher\nCraddock of the British cruiser Berwick, which is lying off Tampico.\nThe federals hold the centre of the\ntown of Tampico antl the water front.\nRear Admiral  Fletcher has ordered\nA\nPointer in Plumbing\nforeigners to take refuge on board\nships or to congregate on the waterfront, where they will be under the\nprotection of liis guns.\nFighting Continues,\n(By Daily News Leased Wire.)\nMEXICO CITY, Dec. 12.\u2014Two thousand federals at Tampico, protected\nby the shellB of the gunboat Bravo,\nmore than by their own efforts, were\nyet waiting late tonight for a forward\nmovement of the rebels or some other\nmaneuver that might decide tbe fate\nDf tlie seaport. The fighting, which\nbegan two days ago, was then contln\ning and the best indications were that\nit might last another day or even\nlonger.\nHaw many rebels are engaged in\nthe attack on Tampico is not known,\nbut it Is estimated that their number\nIs at least twice that of the federals\nand. their operations indicate that they\nexpect more men from Victoria, capital of the state of Tamaulipas, which\nlies -half way between Tampico and\nMonterey, to the north.\nThe rebels, who are in possession\nof the railway yards, and shops and\nlargo stores of material and equip-j\nment, have actually detached from'\ntheir lines sufficient men to undertake repairing the railroad north and\nwest from Tampico toward Victoria.\nThe damage that has been done this\nline, while enough to prevent the operation of trains, is not so great that\nit will long delay a resumption of\ntraffic. Most of the destroyed bridges\nbeing small ones, they can easily be\nreplaced. Repairs to the road south\nof Victoria are also heing rushed and\nit is not improbable the robels will be\nable to -transport .fresh troops and artillery supplies in time to use them\nat Tampico.\nThere is little use in a competent\nplumber using poor materials, any\nmoro than a poor plumber could get\nsatisfaction out of good materials. For\na really good and satisfactory job the\ntwo should match\u2014a 'good workman\nwith good stuff to work with. We\nblend the two to perfection, and are\nnot open to the general reproach ol'\novercharging for work.\nE.\n(continued   from  page  oqe.li\t\nEfforts will bo made to secure an\nincreased government grant next year\nand with this end in view the members for the various provincial ridings\ncovered by the association will be asked to support W. R. Maclean, M.P.P.,\nfor Nelson, Sn an application for tho\nlarger appropriation. The amount-last\nyear was $750. .\nTo the executive was left the mat\nter of securing a single fare transportation rate to the shoot.\nSuggestions as to improving the targets so that they would give bettor\nservice during wet weather, improv\ning the telephone service and securing\nas range officer a non-competitor,\nwhich were made in a letter from thc\npresident, were loft to the executive,\nThe president also called attention to\nthe advisability of making a rule that\nno two competitors should use the\nsame match rifle. It was pointed out\nthat If two men used the same rifle\nthe second ono had an unfair advantage, inasmuch that the sights were\nsot when ho took over the gun to commence shooting. Difficulties In enforcing such a regulation were referred to and it was suggested that the\nmatter was one In which the association had to rely upon the good sportsmanship of its memhers in not taking\nsuch an advantage over other competitors, but it was decided that in\nfuture when two men used one rifle\nthc range officer must be satisfied that\nthe sights had been placed at zero\nbeforo the second man commenced to\nshoot.\nR. W. Hinton and Mr. St. Denis wera\nappointed a committee on transporta*\ntion und Capt. Steel, Mr. St. Denis and\nD. O. Thomas a committee to draw up\na communication to local members of\nthc legislature asking them to support\ntho request for an Increased grant.\nTo Secure Tents and Blankets\nNext year the association hopes to\nhave tents and blankets on the range\nso that marksmen will bo able to eat\nand sleep there, It was pointed out\nIn -the letter from \"ihe president that\nsuch equipment could be secured free\nof cost from tho department of militia\nand it was decided to write and ask\nfor it.\nThat small cups should be awarded\nthe leading scorers at each range in\nsome of thc big competitions was suggested by Mr. Burden as u means of\narousing still greater Interest in the\nshoot and the executive was asked to\n\u25a0 look Into the matter.\nCapt. Carrie described a new system\nof communicating the results of shots\nfrom the butts to the firing points and\nthe executive will look into the mat\nter.\nBANDITS   ROB   EXPRESS\nNHM ORLEANS, Dec. 12.\u2014A lone\nbandit concealed himself aboard the\nexpress car of ,**, Southern Pacific\ntrain, which left here at ll o'clock to\nnight, knocked the express messenger unconscious and escaped with a\npackage containing $2,000.
