Tho new process, it is said, without entailing great expense of operation, results in the saving of more than 90 per cent of the values In tho ore. The percentage saved will vary slightly with the grade of the ore, as It Is possible to save a greater proportion of the values from high, than from low grade ores. The Reliance Gold Mining and Milling Company, of which A. H. Kelly is president, is the first company to Install the Hendryx agitator as a part of its milling plant. The Installation was made ln July. Since then Dr. Hendryx has been at the mill almost continuously watching the operation, making improvements and perfecting every detail. Having satisfied himself and the management of the company that everything ls complete, and having watched results for nearly three months, Dr. Hendryx returned to Nelson yesterday afternoon, and will shortly return to New York. He has received an elaborate statement of the merits of the plant and process from Douglas Lay, superintendent of the mill, endorsed by A. H. Kelly, president and manager. Mr. lay explains each part of the •process, states tho results obtained, aud concludes with an expression of his belief that the process, Intelligently followed, must result always in perfect success. ' The agitator Is sunk in a well in the floor of a special building near the mill. The ore ln a liquid solution is conveyed from the mill where it has been crushed Into the well. There it is "agitated" for hours wliile the gold slowly settles on the plates disposed round tlie sides of the well. The process has worked successfully with naked plates, but Dr. Hendryx has added a further Improvement which ha? resulted in a material saving ot time and trouble. The plates in the agitator are enclosed in electrolytic envelopes. The envelopes are formed of air tight receptacles of specially prepared canvas, a vacuum Is created between the plate and the canvas which Increases the power of attraction of the plate. Tin canvas envelope strains the liquid, and tho final precipitation on the plates is from a clear solution. The cyanide solution used ls comparatively weak. In tlie crusher tht amount of cyanide of potassium used Is only 1-200 of a pound to the ton. In thi agitator the amount varies from 1-4 to 1-2 pound according to the nature ol tho ore. Dr. Hendryx was seen at the Stratheona last evening by a representative of The Daily News. He said: "Yes, the agitator Is a success; 1 do not Intend to return to the mill. My work there Is finished. The plant has stood every test, and I am entirely satisfied with It. "I have spent a long time observing and studying It In operation. I wanted to mako a complete test ot lt under all possible circumstances. 1 think thai we have made a few small improvements ln details during tho last few months. "It is recovering more than 90 per cent of the values regularly. 1 don't care to bo more exact than that. The exact proportion will be known after each clean-up. But the results of all our assays, compared with the results recorded by the plates, show considerably over 90 per cent of the values saved. "No, the amount of cyanide used is not great. It is .005 pounds to the ton ln the crusher, and from .25 to .5 pounds ln the agitator, according to the kinu of ore. HEeverythlng contributes to the result, and to Its economy. The electrolytic envelope and Its vacuum hastens the process of separation. "ln the installation and operation ol tho plant, and ln the long uourso ol tests and experiments I have made, i have received the greatest assistance from thc company's mill suporlntcnden! Mr. Lay. who is one of tho most courteous and obliging, as well as one of thc most Intelligent and competent mil managers, 1 havo had the fortune to meet. "Yea, I may add that I am delighted with the success of the process, for my own sake of course, and also for the sake of the Reliance company, whose directors and manager have had faith in lt, and who have given me every possible assistance and convenience to ensure a satisfactory test "The process and the plant are patented ln practically every mining country in the world, Canada ,the United States, Australia, South Africa, Russia, and India. "I am going up to the Last Chance mine for a day or two. Then I shall go to Denver and from there to New York." A. H. Kelly was also seen, but had nothing to add except that his opinion of the new Hendryx process was fully expressed In his endorsement of Mr. Lay's eulogy. The Reliance company has an Immense body cf low grade ore, whose value averages about $5 to the ton. The saving of more than 90 per cent of the value at the/ company's plant on the ground without any expense for hauling means large profits for the company on an amount of ore that seems to be practically unlimited. The success of Dr. Hendryx's latest invention in making possible the profitable treatment of low grade ore means something of immense importance to the whole of British Columbia. It has been repeatedly stated by experts that while Kootenay contains vast mineral deposits, the ore generally was of so low a grade that profitable mining was problematical. That difficulty seems now to be removed. SCORIA, *3- (.•■ -2-. NO. 157 PROGRESS AT ST. EUGENE REPAIRS NOW RAPIDLY NEARING COMPLETION. NEW COAL MINE BEING OPENED EAST OP FRANK. J. C. Drewry arrived In town from Moyie last evening. Ho brought goou news from the St. Eugene, news which fully confirms the announcement made in The Daily News a few days ago that the big mine would be shipping ore again by December 1st. Mr. Drewry states that the repairs to lhe tunnel and shaft are about completed; that rapid progress is being made with the erection of the new shaft bouse; that the new machine drills have arrived and that there Is every prospect of the enw hoist beiug in place by November 15th. In that event operations at the mino and mill will be ln full blast by December 1st and more men will be employed than over before. Meaniinio active development work is being pushed. Mr. Drewry speaks highly of the ore that Is being uncovered in the Aurora mine across the lake. The probabilities aro that Ibis mine will'soon take its place among the important producers ol the district. For some time past Mr. Drewry has been devoting a good deal o£ his attention to the development of a coal property he owns in Alberta. The property Is located six miles east of Frank, Jusl within tlie Puss. Two seams have been oponed up and when the spur now being built by the C. P. R. Is completed regular shipments will be commenced, There aro five seams of coal on the property. One ls a nine fool, seam o. excellent domestic coal, another Js twelve feet In width aud is a line steaming coal. It is from this latter seam that shipments will be mado at the outset, the St. Eugene mine taking a car a day. Mr. Drewry leaves for Rossland tins morning.

St .Petersburg, Oct. 26.—St. Petersburg was ln a panic today but apparently largely without reason. The most alarming rumors were circulated aud the shopkeepers on most of the streets closed their shops and boarded up the doors and windows while peaceful minded inhabitants kept within doors. Anxiety was evidenced everywhere but so far nothing has occurred to intensify these fears. Workmen at the admiralty works and other naval yards have joined the strikers. Several officials connected with the state railroads, which are under the direction of the ministry ol railroads, also have gone ou strike. Traffic today was resumed irregularly on the Moscow and St. Petersburg railroad and on lines .from Moscow to Brest and Kazan. The lirst efforts were directed to the moving of cattle trains and one train load of cattle arrived at St. Petersburg and another at Moscow. The situation, however, cannot bo regarded as improved.

The windows and doors were blocked with masses of stones and coal, and red flags with revolutionary Inscriptions were hoisted ou the roofs. The university garrison, whicli numbered 3000, was well supplied with arms. Simultaneously In the town the mobs pillaged the shops ol' the armories and one shop was completely sacked. Thc dragoons fired fuslladcs into the crowds, killing ten persons, aud wounding many others, and further conflicts occurring, finally a state of siege was declared. A committee of public safety was formed and entered into negotiations with the government Troops arrived aud the committee, with the consent of the governor intrusted lhe guarding of the town to a militia composed of armed students and workmen. This militia wins respected by the populace but at many points tbey were filed upou am. many were injured.

The stock will go in better condition than for years, because of the abundance oi grass. The prosperity among the farmers and stockmen can bo understood in the light of statements by implement men, that live times as much was collected last month ou machinery notes as durlug the same time last year.

Interesting details ihave boen learned hy the Associated Tress regarding count Witte's interview with emperor Nicholas Inst week at which it was agreed that the time had come to limit the autocratic power and give the people a share in the government of the empire. Hie majesty asked count Witte to speak frankly and, alter listening to the statesman's version of the situation, he appeared to be utterly unnerved by the deplorable state of affairs and cried out that he was weary of the snuggle and felt like leaving all and fleeing to Darmstadt; hence, probably the origin of the report that tho emperor was going abroad. Count Witte, however, told hia majesty that in his opinion not even a republic could now save Russia from anarchy, ll was the emperor's duty to tho people aud the country tu face the situation by meeting their wishes, viz., to abro- gato the power of tlie autocracy ami to grant a constitution by Qroatlug a ministry, responsible alike lo tlie clown and to the representatives of the nation.

Tne original convention was he.d in S eln.vay hall, while the "antl" convention mot m Studebaker hail. Alleged attempts to thwart the pi.r,.oses oi tlio coave.it on caused tue delegates ai Stclnway lull to | refuse to admit tne dol.gaUs although properly accredited, mil a* tne. w..u d agree to support th ■ president's plan. Many delegates objected io this procedure, demanding thut the) be giv n a r gat to free speech. The other iie.egaUs charged that tiie so-oalhd "anils" wero sent by tho railways and other alhgod uu a r interests, to pack the convention, txjhlns seniles followed hifoi'e th.0 two llie tings were called to order. Speeches on organization und resolutions, including one Which was presented In the Studobakor li.i-l convention, asking the pr- s dent lo aeitle th* dispute as to th" rcgu.ar convent o i, bui upon whicli no action wag taken, oc upiod the time of the first met tng of the conventions. Tiie oonvenlons will o.mUmie in session tomorrow when resolu ions will be adopted by the Stelnwny hal c nvetl- tion in favor of tho president's polloy. At the Studebaker had mt e lag- the "antis" first proceeded to appoint a rom- mltte on credentials and then udjouriud until - p.m. At Stoiuway hall, meanwhile, mayor Dunne signed the Roosevelt pledge saying: "There is no more Important question before the country todny than railroad rates but I will not Impress upon you my personal views on this SUbJeOt; Chicago is proud to have you as her gu. sis. If you come back in several years I will give you a ride on municipal sir et cars." Former governor Campbell of Ohio, responded to mayor Dunne's address ol Welcome: "It is unfortunate that the railroad interests attempted to Interfere with this convention." ho said, "and we are here to endorse president Roosevelt's plan of government control of railtoad rates. His demands are reasonable and it is u mistake to oppose them. I am opposed to govornmcnl ownership of rat roads, but we want fair play. Discrimination la railroad rates must stop. Public opinion Is more powerful than the wealth ami Influence of the railroads." John W. Kern representing the Indian apolis Commercial association, exp alneil that D. M. Parry is a member of the Indiana organization und that after u sharp contest Mr. Parry's efforts to Instruct Undelegates against the Uoosevelt rate regulation phut, 'were defeated by a vote ol 10 to 1, Former governor Vanzani of Minnesota, said In part: "There Is no ambiguity in tbe call for the convention. Wo at least know why we arc here and what wc want. Our light is an open one and our platform is proclaimed to the world. Wo stand squarely upon that platform and will tight It ont upon thai Hue. We are not the enemies of the railroads; time will demon- strati* thai wo are their best friends. In my opinion they are making a mistake to oppose so conservative a measure as tlie proposed amendment to tho interstate commerce law. If they should have tbe power, which 1 doubt, to prevent ibis wise legislation. It might result disastrously to tbem. If they should be able to prevent it many believe that government ownership of railroads would follow. There will be either government regulation or government ownership before this tight Is ended. Which it will be dt ponds largelyt upon the railroads. The rate question will not down. It Is the paramount question before thc American people. It eltocts every man, woman and child. A few men practically control the transportation companies of the country. By means of a grouping process, a few railway magnnies can meet in New York and "agree upon plans and put Into eifeol policies which will result to their special b> m tit and to the detriment of- the shippers and the public. Six groups of systems ar.- said to control 178.000 of the 204,000 miles of road In tin* United States. Competition has been destroyed nnd the n c ss'ty nf rate legislation hits become more and more apparent." After the secretary had read the call for the convention the chairman appointed committees on credentials find permanent organization, after which a reoesa was taken. Tho "regular" convention on reconvening elected w. E. Hughes, Colorado, chairman. A committee on resolutions was appointed Including It. W. Hughes of New Vork. This resolution, introduced by vioe-presl- detit Kern of Indianapolis, was adopted: "Resolved that the so oath d convention assembled in Studebaker hall for the purpofie of aiding the railroad companies to, defeat the efforts of president Roosevelt In behalf of the people, has assembled without authority of the nssociution. but fairly represents the corporate forces under tin- direction' of which It Is In session. "Thnt Its statement to thc effect that any duly accredited delegates to this convention are in attendance at the Studebaker hall railroad convention Is absurd and false. Tho delegates of this convention are here in session, enthusiastic in their support of the president's p licy and do not purpose to make any alliance. or compromise with tho enemies of the people." Tho convention then adjourned until tomorrow. The roll cull at lhe "antl" convention showed 439 delegates attending this afternoon. Amid cheers, n resolution classing the action of the "regulars" in refusing admission to the "antl" delegates as non- American and a policy of gag rule, and against free speech, was passed. A resolution asked the appointment of a committee to extend an Invitation to the "regulars" to attend the eonv nt'on in Studebaker hall. A committee took th-4 message and a reply was promised for tomorrow. This resolution wus then Introduced: "Resolved, that th>- convention convey to Theodore Rons veit appreciation of bis good intentions and objects In attempting to secure equitable and satisfactory solutions of till contentious b tween the people nnd our greatest promoters and developers nnd promoters of the c umry, the railway corporations, and so far as It Is consistent with our const! itctlon of the constitution, we will do our utmost to support him. Hut We express to him our Intelligent aad patriotic apprehen Ion that any radical changes in our methods of control might greatly jar and disturb the matchless growth, prosperity and progress which our great country is now enjoying." This resolution was referred to tho committee on resolutions. D. M. Parry then made a speech. David M. Parry snid In part: "1 refuse to believe thai this government rate making proposition nit-cts the real sentiment of the groat majority of the shippers ol this country, for, to my mind, to believe such » thing is to assert that the shippers have combined their forces for the purpose of tyrannizing over the railroads and depriving railroad capital from reaping the profits to which, under the free institutions of ibis country, it Is entitled. Rather do I prefer to believe that, this ornsade to endow a political commission With a socialistic ami cairllke power to fix transportation pries is what is popularly ami very aptly termed a " hoi air movement," fathered in tho main by personal pallUcal agitators and men who have private reasons for lighting the railroads. ' To assert that capital Invested In railroads shall be deprived of the right to seek the highest profit obtainable on the market Is to eon- cede ihat the profit on all capital, however it may be Invested, may b- limited by the will of tlie government. Grant the validity of the principal of government limitation of profits In one branch of In* dustrv. and you gram it lu all. You cannot avoid the conclusion that If yon favor government rate making you abandon the principle of Industrial fn-'dom and private ownership in capital, and align yourselves with the socialists who would confiscate the returns of capital." Adjournment until tomorrow was then taken. •S35M KAISER IS BELLICOSE Makes Pointed Speeches as to Probability of War Tells Officers and Men That the State of Europe Warns Them to Keen Their Powder Dry and Swords Whetted V., V. & E.

Berlin, Oct. 2G— Recent events have apparently turned the thoughts of emperor William more than usually lo the probability ol Germany soon becoming involved in war. His speeches at Dresden yesterday and in Berlin today contained pointed references to the probability of war and the necessity of being ready for it. Addressing the officers of a Saxon grenadier regiment at Dresden the emperor said: "We live In a time when every young German capable of bearing arms must be ready to give himself to the fatherland." At a banquet given to bis honor in the Dresden sclilt^a last evening the emperor said: "If the German empire continues to prosper then we can calmly, with, raised vigor and with the courage of free German men, confront any oue who should venture to cross our path or to disturb us in the promotion of our reasonable interests." After unveiling the statute of Held marshal von Moltke today hla majesty addressed the highest army officers who were assembled around him saying: "How matters stand with us in the world you have seen; therefore keep your powder dry and your swords whetted.'

Fears are entertained in certain quar ters that Uie movement in Canada in favor of tbe nationalization of the telegraph and telephone systems has received a death blow in the retirement from public life of sir William Mulock. These fears are not well founded. Sir William Mulock undoubtedly held advanced views ou this question and was strongly in favor of some measure of government control of the telephone systems at least. The success of the movement is not dependent upon any one man. Tho nationalization of the telegraph and telephone systems will come about in response to a clear and unmistakable expression of public opinion. Until the government of'the day, no matter what party is in office, ia thoroughly Impressed with the sincerity of the demand nothing will be done. Both the telegraph and telephone systems should be owned and controlled hy (he people. It ls questionable if it would be wise for the federal government to take over the telephone systems. They I could he more conveniently and economically administered by the provincial nnd municipal governments. The telegraphs certainly should bo owned and controlled by the dominion government. Instead of bewailing tbe loss of sir William Mulock advocates of the nationalization of the telegraph and telephone systems should he devoting their energies to, arousing public sentiment in favor of early action by the various governments, federal, provincial and municipal. The (luestion of the telegraph is urgent. Already It is announced that the Grand Trunk Pacillc is about to establish a complete system of telegraphs from ocean to ocean. If this scheme be carried out without some understanding with tho federal government, looking to the taking over of the new lines at the cost of construction, the day of nationalization will he still further postponed. At the noxt session of parliament the question of federal administration of the telegraplis should receive special consideration and legislation ought to he enacted paving the way for the assumption by the dominion government of ali commercial telegraph systems. ident. This agreement was entirely satisfactory to the resident manager of the company, who, only a few hours before president Doull declared his intention of repudiating it, had notilled the city council Unit lie was prepared to affix his signature thereto. At the time this information was giveu to the council any cause of complaint the company might imagine it had against the city must have been known to the manager and his legal adviser. Yet at that time,! only a few hours before repudiation, the city was given to understand that the agreement would be signed. President Doull must have been cognisant, of this state of affairs. Yet, without consideration for the pledged word ot his manager, and without giving the city an opportunity to investigate tbe alleged grounds of complaint, which at most amounted to breaches of strict instructions issued by tbe city to its employees, and consequently should uot fairly be held to be any breach of the covenant ou the part of the city, president Doull waives the agreement aside and instructs his lawyers to proceed with litigation. This may be a course within the limits of the law and may be "good business" in the estimation of Mr. Doull, but in the opinion of most people It will be designated a piece of very sharp practice, entirely unworthy tbe head of a big Canadian corporation lliat has been extremely well treated in this province.

The circular reads, iu part, as follows; To meet the greatly increased cost the maintenance of public schools during tlie past few years, some chauge has beeu made in the financial administration of the education department as set forth in the "Public Schools Act, 1905." and this circular is issued for the information of voters and guidance of trustees .with a view of explaining fully tbe working of those sections of the new act which deal more particularly with the management of the school affairs in rural sections of the province. In the districts which have "assisted schools" the only change made ls, that the people will now provide directly for the incidental expenses of the school. In the case of assisted schools no rates will be levied, the expenses being met by the voluntary contribution of parents and others interested, in the same manner as the buildings and furnishings are now provided, The whole of the salary of teachers in assisted schools will 'be voted by tlie legislature aud paid, as heretofore, from the provincial treasury.. The manner of conducting the business of assisted schools remains unchanged under ihe new act. In tbe regularly organized rural school districts tho people are now called upon to provide the running expenses of the schools and a small proportion of the teachers' salaries. In this case the regular amount of salary paid hy the government will be $40 per month, and this sum will be supplemented by a grant of $1 for every dollar by which the or- THEPOVVER OF STEAM.

THANKSGIVING SERVICES LARGE CONGREGATIONS IN CITY CHURCHES YESTERDAY SERMONS ON BLESSINGS TO CANADA ' AND GRATITUDE DUE ! Tho innovation of harvest thanksgiving services ut thi: chuiT*K!H in tin; morning Instead of the evening proved eminently successful yesterday. The Anglican service In St. Saviour's ohuroll ami the union service In the Baptist ohuroh were both Will attended. The decoiatiuns lu St. Saviour's, tastefully disponed hy the ladles of the altar guild, lent a distinctly Harvest appearance to tho building. The sermon-- by Rev. P. H, Graham and Rev. j. t. Ferguson, were devoted to expression of individual aud national gratitude for the blessing:* of peace ana prosperity, and the oppurtuallies artordect by tiiem for the pursuit of high Ideals and for rational enjoyment of lire. Appropriate music was rendered in both chinches with a heartiness that proved lhe sincerity ot the act of public thanksgiving. While the total number of worshippers formed but a small proportion of the adult population of Nelson, It was probably greater than ever before in the city's history at sucli a service. Even those who were unable, through tho pressure of other business, to attend tue religious services, doubtlcBSly approved the acts of general thank ottering. The recent celebration of tho centenary of Trafalgar has probably Induced and attitude of thankfulness and seriousness among •British people everywhere, certainly In tho city or Nelson, The services at St. Saviour's church yesterday morning were attended by a largo number of devout worshippers, tilling tne nave and isles as ordinarily on Sundays. The building wus beautifully decorated by three or four ladles, cereals and fruit lining the windows and festooning the pillars and sent ends while the altar was a blaze of flowers. Being a festal occasion the ciitlicli was clothed in while which, with the general tone of the autumnal offerings, made an exquisite color scheme, rendered all the more beautiful by the sun streaming through the windows; an appropriate setting to tho time honored ritual of the Anglican church. Early ln the morning was celebrated a communion, while at 10:30 the thanksgiving service and matins, followed by a choral eucharlBt was rendered by a full choir, the key note of the whole being supplied by the opening words of the Venite, "O- Come Let Us Slug." Besides tho usual hymns the choir sang Woodward's Te Dcum, and that sotting of the Jubilate, by p, riuiiipiireys, associated with Master day and known as Iho "Grand Chant." Followed an anthem, modern in Us character, by Arthur BayllsB, "While the Earth Remalneth," in which solo parts were taKi'ii by Airs. Montague Davys and E. Grlzzelle, this closing the matins, Then came tho choral eucharlst to the Setting of Monk, whose Kyrle and Credo, are entirely in fitting lu their changing yet solemn harmonics wllh thc character of the festival. Rev. F. Hi Graham gave but a short sermon In which, however, was much meat for thought. Taking his text from the Psalms of David the king, where that monarch looks back over his life, the preacher slmwed that that leader of Israel hart luul a full and eventful life, sinner and snlnt, suffering acutely and enjoying much and yet looking back In a review of tin' lifo tlml was then waning to a close, summed up that "it was good." Perhaps more than anyone present, said the preacher, David had suffered and yet for all thai he, reviewing nil ibut had come and gone, was thankful that he hart lived and accordingly returned praise!- to ids maker. It were possible that were one permitted before entering upon this lifo to see what would befall, what Ills would bo endured, what Joys experienced, that ono would hesitate , but mercifully this knowledge was withheld from us. But on tho whole, the experience of each and every ono must bo that of David, that thero was much for which to be thankful. One's account with tiio Almighty could not be taken for a year. That is too short a space In which to enter Into a reckoning with tho All- seeing. The thought behind that of thanksgiving was that of a review of tho whole of one's life. When that was seen; seen and appreciated, then and then only could bo ■ solved ihe momentuous question "Is life worth living?" No Christian, notwithstanding anything that ho might have suffered in tho year lust under review, what his business losses, his family afflictions, could return to this ever recurring query, on looking over the whole of his accounting, an oilier answer than ono in the nttirma- tive, Life is worth living and for this life, nnd for tho blessings showored upon it, blessings thnt far outweighed misfortunes, which were often hut seeming, thanksgiving must be mude. and thanksgiving is made. At U o'clock representatives of the Presbyterian, Methodist and Baptist congregations gathered in the Baptist church whore a union service was conducted by Rev. J. T. Ferguson and E, H. Shanks. Hymns appropriate to thanksgiving were sung. Including '"Come. Ye Thankful People, Come." The collection amounting to $15.75, has boen forwarded to Mrs. A. K. Wattle, secretary of the local branch or tlie children's uld society. The sermon was preached by Rev. J. T. Ferguson, on the subject of the considerations which should Induce the people of Canada at Uie present time to feel and testify their gratitude to Providence. The abundant harvest throughout Canada, and especially In tlie prairie provinces, was described as laying a firm foundation for material national prosperity, Reference was made to the country's wealth In the products of Held and orchard, and their dependence on propitious conditions for which general gratitude is due. Passing to tho industrial situation In Canada. Mr. Ferguson urged that all should be deeply thankful for the peace and harmony between employers and employed, now prevailing throughout the dominion, forming a happy contrast to tho ceaseless discontent and unrest, that perpetually disturbed thc people of olher lands, Reference was made to the gradual amelioration of tho conditions of labor ln many Industries that an* trying lo the health of the tollers. The preacher expressed satisfaction that the employees Of the local smelter were no longer required to work at their arduous calling so many hours of their day as before. The conclusion of peace between Japan and Russia was cited as a world event lhat should cause rejoicing everywhere, as lt put a period to the hardship and dangers, not only of the combatants on land and sea, but of those dependent upon them In their respective countries. In addition tn staying tho sacrltlee of precious human lives, -peace meant for both countries the affording of means and opportunity for domestic reform and progress. The steady and rapid growth among the people of all civilized nations of a feeling of aversion to war, and lhe adoption of. more Christian methods of Settling disputes, was held as a recognition of the principles of humanity, and a step forward In the progress of the race, for which all people should he devoutly thankful. The establishment of the Hague tribunal und the founding of peace societies were Instanced aa tangible results of a universal feeling and desire. Having shown many reasons for thanksgiving as Canadians, as British people and as members of the community of civilized nations, Mr. Ferguson turned to the personal side of thanksgiving as Christians. Gratitude to God, he urged, was due for the freedom of thought and conscience all enjoyed for the spread of learning and intelligence and of opportunity tor tho Study of the revelations of God, and for spiritual guidance lu hours of danger and temptation.

What this means may be realized from the fact that the striking power of the new battleship will be as great as any three battleships of the ordinary type at such a range as that al which the engagement wns opened in the Sea of Japan. Thc long range actions during the late war taught thc lesson that tho main essential of a battleship is ability to strike crushing blows at a distance of five or six miles. This the Dreadnought can do, and as no other warship has hitherto mounted more than four 12-lnch guns, there will be nothing afloat thai can stand up against her In a sea action. The Dreadnought will be driven by turbines at a speed of 20 knots an hour, and she will also In spile of her great size be able to pass through the Seuz canal. The new battleship will be strongly protected With steel armor, and In addition to being the most powerful warship in llie world, -she will he built In the shortest time, for it is expected thai -she will be launched In February. PRECIOUS CANADIAN STAMPS Four Sold Recently In London for Nearly Three Hundred Dollars Four Canadian "before confederation" stamps have recently been sold by auction In London, bringing over £68, or exactly $298.76. One of theso rare philatelic gents alone brought .CIO. Here are all four: Canada. 1851, Import., laid paper, 12d„ black. £40. New Brunswick, I860, 5e., brown, head of Connell, unused, £10. Canada. 1852, 10rt., blue on thin paper. unused. £5 10s. Canada, 1S5S, Perf,, fid., grey-lilac, £3 5s. All four formed part of a collection ot Edwin Webster of Brighton. Thoy were sold on Sopt. 29 by Puttlck & Simpson, literary and tine arts auctioneers, 47 Leicester Square,a long established firm, with long established rules, one of which is: Names of purchasers are not to be made known to the press. "What Is the rarest Canadian stump worth?" "This of 1861 Is the rarest, nnrt often brings £70 to £80. This which wc sold for £40, hart been torn in the top I'iglll hand corner, but repaired so well that in the photo you wouldn't notice it." In antc-confederatlon days New Brunswick wanted a live cent stamp. "All right," said Council, tho postmaster. "you shall have one and I shall he In the centre of It." But he wasn't long there, He was Butn- marl-ly dismissed nnd lhe stamps recalled and destroyed. But not all. Thnt is why this one brought $50. It had never been used. The next, this "Canada, I8"j2, ten-pence," has the picture of Sebastian Cnbot, the discoverer of Canada. It Is also an unused. The fourth, one of 1858, bears the "counterfeit presentment of the prince of Wales. the present king." BUSINESS OF BANKING Indiana Bankers Read a Lesson by Vice- President Fairbanks Indianapolis, Oct. 26—The Indiana Bunkers' association in session here, today was addressed by vice-president Fairbanks, who said: "We need not only sound money and sound banks, but we need sound bankers also. There is no system of supervision, 1 care not how thorough and searching lt may be, which can surely protect stockholders and depositors against either inefficiency or dishonesty. In banking there is llttlo difference In lhe final results whether a bank is operated by men Who do not comprehend the real science of banking, or by those who are wanting In a higher order of business morality. Failure ls the result in cither case with consequent confusion and embarrassment to stockholders, depositors nnrt tho community at large. There Is no department ot our domestic economy where there is required a higher order of sound business judgment and more Inflexible adherence to honest conservatism in business methods than in banking. TO HANDLE THE CROP Enormous Increase Made by C.P.R. In Holing Stock for Present Season Chiefly for the purpose of enabling it to handle tho increased crop satisfactorily and expeditiously this fail, tlie Canadian Pacific railway, within the past 12 months has expended several million dollars in providing additional rolling stock, It now hus 1050 engines and ;S1,">1'0 ears with which to handle the freight that is offering; ub compared with 70S engines and 20,083 cars In 1001. In 1902 It had 745 engines and 21,- 360 cars. These figures had Increased to 810 and 27,402 by the following year, while in thc fall of 1001 it hurt 934 engines and 28,721 cars. Its present equipment therefore exceeds that which it had to handle the record crop of 1902 by 305 engines and 10,341 ears, or nearly 60 per cent. "FRANCESCA DA RIMINI" This tragedy of Italian history is to bo presented here tonight by Harold Nelson. It has been in such heavy roles as Richelieu and Hamlet that Harold Nelson, the favorite Canadian actor, has scored his ;,.-. al* st successes. Brl ily the play deals with the marriage of Lunolotto, the hunchback cripple of a noble family, lo a beautiful young girl. The cripple's brother, who is young and handsome, is constantly thrown In the company of the wife of Lanclotto's absence, resulting in mutual love, which the husband discovers and in one of tho most intense nets in the drama ends thc lives of tho three. As Lanclotto, the deformed husband wronged by nature, by hia brother and his wife. Mr. Nelson hns a tragic role seldom squalled In dramatic writings. The beautiful lines, the intense situations and Ihe tremendous climaxes are handled with masterly art. As I'epe, the court Jester, Clifford Lane Bruce will have an opportunity lo further the excellent Impression he has gained by his uniformly clover acting. Miss Helena Scott will look and act the part nf the beautiful Francesea to ptl'fec- tlon.
