Flags f various nations In which* thn gen- iral had waged campaigns and thr landard of the older divisions of the .rmy wero arrayed In front of tbe platform. These and m:>re Salvation rmy flags In the galleries, each tip- ed with white ribbons, and twenty portraits of the evangelist, surmount with green laurel, with a broad rrnttgc ribbon connecting them, wore ie^!y,-dc£o.rativo olfi-cis.

The service Itself was not nly a memorial hut wns a mammoth icetlng of prayer and praise. No other :ongregallon comparable wilh It ever iccitrred in London, if In the world .ve al the funeral of thc general's ife which was held In the same hall 2 years ago this coming October. Solemn Cortege. [,' The most solemn events of lho long ■icetlng were when tho coffin i [torne along the centre of the hall to [he sonorous music of the Dead March Saul. A small procession, representing iany branches of the army's activity ^eluding men nnd women and a de- feohment of officers from foreign Branches, carrying the flags of their Respective countries, preceded It. Tm- icdiately hefore thc body a brigadier [ore aloft the crimson flag, which the [enoral raised at Jerusalem ahd under 'hlch he died at Hadley Wood.

The coffin was covered with a flag and on lt rested the general's bible and cap. The slow progress along the centre aisle oeou-pied more than 10 minutes, during which time the immense audience remained standing, and all the Salvation soldiers were at the salute. The Vastness of the Olympla made It Impossible to 'conduct the service by word of mouth. More than half of its 83 numbers, however, were familiar Salvation songs which thc many thousand voiced chorus sang with a mighty volume of song nnd with militant earnestness. Every seat on the floor and In the galleries was taken. Several thousand of persons were banked around the outskirts of the hall, half of whom could not see over thc shoulders of those In front but who could hear and take part In tho services. The revival service was concluded with the singing of tho refrain hoard at every meeting at which General Booth conducted, "His Blood Can Make the Evil Clean; His Blood Avails for Me.'r Receive Covenant of Fidelity. The most Impressive feature of tht solemnities followed. All the soldiers of the army rose and received the covenant of fidelity, pledging themselves to be faithful soldiers, of the Lord,.- ' Tho "catafalque was then taken slowly down tha aisles while thc great gathering sang "When tho. Roll Is Called Up. Yonder I'll Bc There." The coftin was placed in'a hearse and eoo- veyed to the Salvation Army headquarters whore it will rest until taken to Abnoy Park cemetery tomorrow. As tho doors closed behind the casket ' Commissioner McKle pronounced the benediction and Immediately afterward Olympia became a babel with th" foreign delegates seeking comrades with whom they are stopping. Tho police struggled to produce order from chaos as the great crowd mingled with the others who had waited outside thc hail listening to thc slncing more than two hours while the service lasted.

BRITISH WRITERS TO MEET IN CANADA Institute of Journalists Selects Montreal for Next Gathering—Not Empire Missionaries, Says Editor. {By Dally News Leased Wire.) LONDON, Aug. 2S.—The proposal lo hold the next annual conference of the Institute of Journalists at Montreal was discussed at yesterday's meeting, a resolution being ultimately carried to that effect by a substantial majority. Robert Donald, president-elect and editor of the London Chronicle, considered the proposal neither practical nor expedient on the grounds of the expenditure of time and money. The mbmbers of the institute were not empire missionaries nor commercial travelers, he said, but working journalists. Again, it would be below the dignity of lho Institute to accept the hospital ily of Canadian railroad corporations against whom the Canadian Journalists themselves were generally fighting. Israel Zangwill supported tho resolution, remarking that he saw no reason why they should object to going to Canada and helping tho empiro.

T Burden-of Exemption on Property Too Heavy CITIES SHOULD NOT BEAR ALL EXPENSE Halifax Aldermen at Cana: dian MuncLpalities Meeting Opens Subject • (By Dally News Leased Wire.) WINDSOR, Out., Aug. 28.—The delegates to tho 12th annual convention of tho Union of Canadian Municipalities held two sessions today and listened to a number of interesting papers on technical subjects, ln the after-' noon an early adjournment was taken so that a boat ride on thu river and luncheon provided by the entertainment committee of the Windsor City council might -he enjoyed. A variety of subjects were treated at this morning's and tonlghl's sessions, umnng them being "Fleetrlc Franchises,'' by L. A. Cannon, K. C, of Quebec. \"The Operation of Public Utilities In S herb rook e," by Mayor Herbert of Sherbrooke and "dood Roads and Their Effect on Rural Life and Transportation," by Mayor bpencer of Medicine Hit, Aid. Reginald V. Harris of Halifax read an important paper ;it tonight's session on "Exempted Property in Capital Cities," In the course of which he said: Extraordinary Burdens on Tax Payers 1 "1 am not aware what action tlie executives here have taken nor am I restricting my remarks to the capital cities, nut rather to those cities and towns all over Canada where extraordinary burdens are placed on the shoulders of the ratepayers. In some cases tha exemption consists mostly of proporty used for charitable and religious' or educational purposes. To a very largo extent the community exempting- land-foi-Afwi'aK.purposes re- celves loun! compensations. "There Is, however, anolher class of exemption to which reference must be made. This Is property of the government, both Dominion and provincial] Nor do I make uny complaint in respect of postofHce and custom house property. They are as necessary as town halls and fire engine houses to n community. When a government, puis up a postoffice or a custom house tlie burden of exemption from taxation Is cast upon the town. The community must furnish fire protection, often expensive equipment, sometimes a permanent force of water service, adequate for fire protection as well as for domestic service, police protection, streot cleaning, ■ street watering, sireet lighting, sewer maintenance, but while in this case the exemption of tlie property is not a voluntary ono, it is a ease where all municipalities are un tho same footing." Taking the cities of Ottawa and Halifax nt) examples of localities wherein public and other governmental buildings are exempt, Aid. Harris emphasized the fact that while this valuable property pays no taxes whatever to the community, it receives the fullest measure of both fire and police protection, the slreets are kept clean and watered and at night arc lighted, but for none of these services is a single dollar paid by tlie government. In the opinion of the speaker 11 was manifestly unfair that the ratepayer.--; should bear the entire burden, the whole cost of municipal government and got nothing In return. Favors Board of Control, The address was followed by a spirited discussion in which nearly every delegate took part. Another able address tonight was that of V. S. Spence, of Toronto, harbor commissioner and termer controller of that city. He spoke on the commission form of government and in the eourse of his speech expressed ah opinion tn the effect that the board of control sys- tem sueh ns is used In Toronto was much more satisfactory. He had vis Ited several cities during tlie yeni where the commission form of govern ment was In vogue and found many Instances of Inefficiency.

E. Loew and others for damages of $80,000 because of an alleged conspiracy by labor unions to injure the business of the plaintiffs. Thus far all the witnesses In thc cases have been summoned by thc plaintiff. Frank Morrison, secretary of the American Federation of Labor was on the stand the greater part of the afternoon. He identified n number of volumes of Iho American Federal Jon- 1st. He said thuf^Wtille the latter publication was officially recognized by the federation many of the articles of a news nature were not necessarily official, He stated, however, that he regarded ns official the printed lists of "unfair" shops. Mr. Morrison said that at the con volition of the American Federation of Labor in 1901 a resolution was offered that members should not patronize hat makers that did not use the union label. He did not consider this as a boycott for the reilson that the resolution was not adojitcd by the federation but was referred to the executive committee. Thc action of that body was not staled today. Mr. Morrison will go on the stand again tomorrow morning and it was expected tonight that he will bo followed by President Gompers, Attor noys tonight agreed to -let Mr. Gompers and Mr. Morrison go on tho stand tomorrow as witnesses for tbe defendants although they have' been sub- pconued by the plaintiffs. This is to ailow them to return to Washington at Ollce Instead of waiting to bo called in rebuttal.

NOT INFLUENCED BY THREAT OF VIOLENCE Only Argument and Reason Have Any Weight-Provinces Control Franchise (Canadian Associated Press.) LONDON, Aug. 28.—For nearly an hour this morning Premier, Borden listened courteously and patiently to Ihe speeches of the five ladies forming the deputation of the Women's Social and Political union, the organization which gained notoriety through militant suffragist methods. The meeting was in the Savoy hotel, the Canadian premier receiving the quintette in ills private sitting room. The deputation comprised: Rachel Barrett, Barbara Wylie, Mrs. Tuokwell, Winifred Mayo and Evelyn Sharp. Three of these ladies had been in prison, a fact mentioned by one of the speakers. Premier Borden remarked to a later deputation who waited on lilm a few minutes after Ihe first had withdrawn that be had little to complain of In their manner of putting their ense before him. The meellng, as a matter of fact, was perfectly pleasant. Only once, when Miss Barrett gave something more than a suggestion that militant methods might be urged upon their adherents In Canada, was there any tendency to break the cordiality of the gathering. The premier quietly but frankly answered this point by the plain Intimationrhat no sort of procedure- outside or argument and reason would have the slightest weight with him. Miss Barrett took this Intimation quietly and the farewells between tho premier and his Interviewers were very frleiit^,^' it>.u».-&';_ .. V\ : i.'^r well pleased with the reception tendered them, although it cannot be Bald they took away anything very definite. Miss Barrett, in opening the speech mnking, said they took It nlmost for grunted Mr. Borden was favorable to women's suffrage. Practical Politicians, She Says. Premier Borden—Von musl not take anything for granted. 1 have not bad much time to consider the matter, I do not know whether you have stud- ted the Canadian constitution. Miss Dnrrott--Wc are practical politicians; wo want to talk to you as such. Wc want to know whether you will announce on your return to Canada that you Intend to Introduce and carry a measure giving votes to women on the same terms as men. That Is the real object of this deputation. We have an organization in Canada and the women there have asked us what they are to do lo bring about enfranchisement. Says Dower Law Unjust. Miss Barrett, continuing, said she did not want to go Into tbe reason why women should havo votes, but iu any eountry where women bad votes its laws were likely to give justice to women. Sho admitted she was not export, in Canadian affairs but bad heard fnnn Canada of tbe injustice of thi Dower law. Premier Borden—Thut Is a matter In which I have no great power; It rests with the different provinces. Miss Barrett—We have had letters referring lo this mater in Which Canndlan women realized the injustice of tho homestead law. We havo women trained In agricultural colleges, yet tbe law of Canada makes it that thoy cannot hold land except under special condition* Suggests Militant Methods in Canada. She nrgued lhat men would bo in- cllned to emigrate to those countries whero their women folk would find themselves in a state of political freedom. "We have been definitely considering," she went on, "whether we uro to hold a great propaganda, advising women not to emigrate to Canada, but to those colonies where thoy have the vote. Every Canadian statesman ought to think that nn Important question. Then regarding the state of affairs In this country—" Premier Borden—Tf ynu will pardon me. I really have been too occupied to follow this question closely hero, T regard the matter here as one for the British people alone to attend lo themselves, and for the same reason I hold tbo people nf Canada must settle their afffiirs themselves. Ilss Barrett—Nevertheless the agitation hero has been triopn- nlent to the present government and has addod materially to their dlfflcul- i. I ■'think It Is a real -fionacr to their existence. Premier Bnrden—Whal hnve T tn do with that? Miss Barrett—1 am coming to thnt. T suggest it will be a very great mistake for nny government to ignore such an agitation and should like to impress on you that tills agitation is going to stay. No government ran afford to Ignore it. Your reply this morning will regulate vory much the kind of ndvlee we give our friends In Canada. We shnll definitely consider whether wp shall not send some one out to conduct an agitation there. "!s It a Threat?" At this point Mr. Borden looked nl his watch and remarked: "Am I to take that as a threat?" Miss Barrett—We do not want to threaten. Alluding to the great public ro- ccpllon awaiting Premier Borden on his return, "she. said she hoped he would declare himself as representing not only the men but the women of Canada. Mrs. Tupkwell, who followed, thought Canada wanted more women overseers to frustrate agents of tho white slave traffic. She went on to say thnt her experience traveling in Canada as an agent of the British Women's Emigration association was that the men there were quite favorable to women having votes. Miss Sharp remarked that her own brother who was In Canada was always wanting her to go out and join him, but she preferred staying in tbe frying pah instead of falling Into what might be the fire. Franchise Provincial Matter. Premier Borden In reply alluded first to the white slave traffic und asked thc ladies to send him, in confidence, details as to how the traffic in Canada was carried on. Continuing, he explained how the provinces absolutely controlled the franchise so far as the election of members of the provincial legislatures was concerned. For thc last 15 years the Dominion parliament had maintained a law under which the provincial franchise applied to the election of members of parliament. If therefore he wero to go to Canada, aud announce what the deputation suggested, he was announcing a departure from the policy of 15 years. It was obvious that such a departure would require more consideration than be could give it In a few minutes at that meeting. "Whether," he went on, "we shall enact a general franchise law for federal affairs is a matter not yet taken into consideration by tbo present administration and until It is suggested that we revert to the old practice ft would be manifestly impossible for me to make any announcement on the situation. Therefore, it resolves itself to this; you must go to the nine provincial legislatures or we ahull have (Continued on page three,) MEASURE AIMS TO DESTROY PATRONAGE New Zealand Haa Bill for Appointment of Commissioner in Charge of Chief Departments.

McQt*a**ie & Robertson TRAIL P0ULTRYMEN CONTROL MARKET Association Has Mado Arrangement for Selling by P. Burns of Local Eggs Exclusively. How the Trail Poultry association keeping control of lho local market Is told hy TV. N. Scott, president of the association, in the following letter lo the Successful Poultryman: Having solved thc problem of buying feed and poultry necessaries, such us coal oil, wire netting, lumber, zeho- leum, etc., at cost, tho Trail Poultry association has now turned Us attention to the control of the local market In disposing of our products. In most communities iho local price . of new laid eggs Is gauged almost entirely by the local supply. Glut tho market nnd down goes the price. To strengthen our market by shipping out couldn't be done, as nnr market is so good anyway that we would be shipping ut a loss. The P. Burns enmpany has hoen handling a clans of delect guaranteed eggs in cartons, known aa the Shamrock brand. On taking lho matter up with their manager and then with the district manager, 1 found them willing to enter Into an agreement with our association to handle our eggs exclusively. Wc would buy nnr own cartons, select and grade carefully and deliver to their store here for Re a dozen above the price being paid the local merchants -for eggs marketable In the open market. The cartons aro printed as follows: Guaranteed Strictly New Laid By Member No.....'.... K'. Hi DAY, W. N. SCOTT, Sec.-Troas. Pros. The association purchases the boxes by the thousand. They aro Hold hy the secretary only to members ln good standing when they sign the agreement and rules regarding, etc. Each member on taking boxes is given a number, known only to himself and secretary, which he is to fill in on the box before marketing. This is to fix tho responsibility if Improper eggs have been so marketed by any member, who will be dealt with by the association. ' As the district rfmnager of tho Burnb 'ompany lyis arranged for the local manager to ship out to their Btores In the neighboring cities in case of a local rplua, wc have provided tho local manager with gummed seals, printed K." This is put oh tho box after inspection by the local manager, and relieves us of any further responsibility for breakage, cracks, etc., whllo in delivery or shipment to outside points. The extra price of 6c a dozen, or about 3Mjc net, may not appear much, but the effect of taking a. few thousand dozen out of the local stores la bound to put up tbe.-Pr.ce, and then we realize over and ab.ove this also. We arc also endeavoring to work out an arrangement whereby we will set-the prlco of our dressed poultry. We havo several members In Waneta, I'Tultvalo, Rossland, Robson and Nelson who ttike advantage of our cooperative buying, as we can rcshlp 25 or 30 miles and still save money to the poultryman. Any poultryman In tho wost or south Kootenay district may Join our association bn payment of %?., ?1 of which will be sent as his membership fee In thc provincial ai elation, If he is already a member of that association, a fee of Jl will entitle him to the full privileges, both of buying nnd selling, in our association. Our members are all good sports and we want no sore heads or kickers, or their money. Mistakes will occur and accidents happen, so unless you arc willing to bo a booster, please join elsewhere. Owing to pressure of other work, our hustling secretary, J. Kail- mar, has resigned, but another hustler, R. H. Day, has tnken his place.

Not Concerned With British Situation. "So far as the British situation is concerned, it's a question for the. British people alone, I do not interfere; for the same reason I would not expect to find anyone coming to Canada tn interfere. As your action at. tbe present time Is concerned, may I permitted lo make one remark? 1 think the women of Canada are sufficiently capable and intelligent to judge these matters for themselves. I would like to add, I shall be most happy to reqolve any .deputation of Women In Canada made lor the bona fide purpose of laying before me their views. I do not want you to be led into likening too closely conditions In Canada with those here. I am not aware that tbe law of Canada Is at present 'unjust to any body of women. So far as the Dominion legislation is concerned we should he most eager In remove Injustice il any exists.

I do not know if that is intended to be a threat." Miss Barrett-—It is a mere statement of fact. Premier Borden. "Very well. My action In public* life in the past, as 1 hope it will be in the future, is dictated by what I think to be in the Interests of the people as d whole and humanity generally. Any suggestion 9 to methods will not have Ihe slight- 4' effect on me. Lath perfectly..ready i listen to reason nnd argument and clgb them wilh tbe utmost possible vre, hut If I am to he .subjeutcd to methods which make my life tinplens- r inconvenient, or even shorten ll, I frankly tell you these latter ennsld- alions will not govern my action in the matter in the least." These last Tew sentences were spoken with some warmth. Miss Barrett—T hope you will really consider the- reasons we have given you today. Canadian Women Can Judge. Premier Borden -I am ready lo consider them most carefully. 1 think that the women of Canada will form their own judgment and will not be actuated by arguments of any kind addressed to them from elsewhere, knowing what T do of them. Miss narrett-1 was referring lo the women of Canada belonging to our own body. Premier Borden—I was referring to the women of Canada :im a whole. 1 am prepared to give the utmost consideration to any arguments and suggestions. I wns only led to say wlint t did liy what you added, namely thai militant methods might be employed in Canada. The deputation then shook hands with Mr. Rorden and withdrew. Anti-Suffragettes Appear. Five minutes after he received the ant i-suffragettes consisting of Col. Leroy Lewis, Mrs. Moherly Bell and Mrs. Harry Wilson. This only occupied 10 minutes. The gallant colone) who acted as spokesman, laughingb •emarked that tbey were glad to find the windows unbroken after the visit of previous callers. Having read yesterday that a suffragist doputation wns waiting on the premier they thought It advisable to call also just to let him know the suffragists did not comprise the-wholc body of women in Britain. The. league which the present speaker represented comprised several hundred branches. Mrs. Moherly Bell remarked that the feature of sufrraglst propaganda which most distressed ber was tho pernicious literature they were distributing among young women upon tbe sex question. 11 was their first and onlv cry. renlly. Mr. Borden, in answering, traversed llie same ground ns with lhc previous deputation and remarked that the previous callers wei^.cerlalnly very much in earnest and, except tbe suggeslinn that they might employ militant methods, he had nothing to complain of. He was sure Canadian women were sufficiently intelligent to lake care of this matter for themselves.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 29 THE PRAIRIE CROP. "While as usual crop reports from the prairies are conflicting, the general opinion appears to be that the harvest, If it Is safely garnered, will he by all odds the largest on record, estimates of the wheat production alone running ns high as 2r>0,000,000 bushels. Such a production bears eloquent tribute to tbe development of the prniries In the past rjuarter of a century, hut particularly In the past decade. Forty ■years ago the country that Is producing this grain today was known as The Great Lone Land. Twenty-five years ago some attempt at settlement had been made, but thc possibilities of yie country wero not generally recognized for another fifteen years. Ten ■years ago even anyone who would have predicted a 250,000,000 bushel drop of wheat In 1012 would have been laughed to scorn. Coincident with the development of the agricultural resources of the prairies bas been the development of tho rest of Canada. Tho settlement of the vacant lands of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba has opened new markets for the manufacturers of eastern Canada, for the lumber of British Columbia and for nn endless variety of goods. It has introduced new life into Canadian commercial and Industrial enterprises and the beneficial result is felt from the Atlantic to the Pncific. And what is of special significance IB the fact that the extent' of this year's crop is not the limit of pro- d\ictlvlty of the prairie provlaces. The orop of today will appear exceedingly small In comparison witii that of ten years hence. The development of the prairies Is as yet but la its Infancy. Thousands of bushels of grain will be produced where hundreds are today and when this has come to pass Canada will be a richer, more populous, and In every way a greater country. NEW YORK POLICE SITUATION. "What will he the result of the Rosenthal murder In New York and the police revelations in connection therewith la a jiuestlon which Is agitating the minds of New Yorkers at the present time. It Is generally recognized that the punishment of the murderers will not suffice. The police force must be tnoroughiy reformed In such a way as to prevent a recurrence of such unblushing criminality pn tbe part of those entrusted to maintain law and order as bas been recently- revealed. y .Among those who take this view,Is thfe Evening Post, one of the most reputable dally papers published in New York, which in discussing the dangers of the situation and the difficulty of reform says: The present commissioner, ev- ) ery one knows, is hampered at j many points as Gen. Greene, Mr. . I McAdoo, Gen. Bingham, and oth- t era have so often testified by the ! courts, in reinstating on technicnl- Ities, rascals who ought to be In I Jail; by the laws, particularly >-'those relating to pensions, which established a vested right that makes for anything but efficiency ... . The trouble is simply that we have not gone at things scientifically; we have not studied the problem on its merits, and apart Do You Want a Farm from politics. For decades, while the "system" was being developed, we had a bl-partizan police board of four men, which was cleverly designed to fasten politics upon the force. Since then we have made progress—in outward appearance the mop. have gained a great deal, and certain branches of the work, such as thc traffic , squad, the mounted police, and the detective service, have been vast- ■ Iy Improved in efficiency; yet tho old evils remain. The honesty of the entire force remains in doubt and the Rosenthal easa holds the city up td shame the vorld over as a place where policemen may order murder—or connive at It— done for their private purposes. Proceeding, tho j-3'ertng Post takes the ground that th-s nest practical remedy for the altunt'm would be the placing of the adnvnistrntion of the police In the hands of an Independent commia.-doner who could be removed from office only after charges had been made against him and there had been a public hearing of these charges. In this connection the Post expresses Itself as follows: It should not be difficult to put an end to those vested rights which prevent justice and hamper tho commissioner. The truth is, as Mr, Meloney pointed out in the World, there "has never been a -genuine, persistent effort to excise ' the causo of the disease. Crooked politicians' have so manipulated things that treatment has never followed diagnosis." He, too, feels that the remedy is plain enough— the complete divorce of the police . from politics. It surely Is nn Impossible task. We have divorced our aldermen from their opportunities to graft save along petty lines. We have wonderfully purified most of the departments of our city and, thanks to the civil service laws, put an end to fearful abuses and inefficiency within them. It will be time enough to despair of our police when we have really tried to solve that problem In a scientific way, after having made the ' hend semi-permanent, so as to be Independent of tbe fnds nnd fancies of our mayors, and of any political control, The suggestion of the Post that thc administration be taken out of. politics Is a good one In many respects, but It has one great weakness that whether or not the New York police force Is takon out of politics will rest largely with the politicians who benefit under the present system. It will indeed be Interesting to see what measure of reform will be adopted to end a situation so remarkable thnt It seems almost incredible should ever have existed in these modern days. placed to some, extent hv the inopeeltion, "Convince other people that- you ai<> light and then go uhcud."-\ViLsliingtoii Star.

The illuminating story commences with tlio following: "At present there Is no thoroughly organized body in Nelson .'n which the future citizen ul tin; Dominion can be taugtit the elementary principles (tint go to make a man out of htm, iiiiuu-ly, ck-anlluess, obedience and punctuality.'-1 timely it anything will mouse the people or tbls city, so fair and beautiful iu every other respect, to some slight conception of the awful depravity In which they are existing It will be HU-Qh faithful and fearless utterances as this, moved no doubt by a vision of the do- plorahle plight of any community which has no fostering institution for these virtues In Its midst. The person -ntervlewed not only sounds the note of warning with faithfulness, but also points out the means ef redemption. Lacking these vl'tues namtd before, the question Is—how shall we overcome this lack? The answer Is given In detail and with completeness so that no element may be overlooked. Let lt be carefully noted by every person who claims to be concerned about tlie welfare of tbe youth for time and eternity. "It Is essential that every boy should know how to handle a gun and become accustomed to one, that he should know how to swim, to give first aid to the injured, and above all to have confidence In himself. It is for this par pose that the cadet co'ps are helng W ganlzcd Each corps must con sist ot not less than 30 members, will he armed and equipped by the government with the regulation Ross rifle, olid each boy supplied with a certain number of rounds of ammunition each seuson. . . . and once a yenr will go into camp, where everything possible to give euch cadet confidence in himself ami self-reliance will be done," Here Is tbe fountain of virtue and citizenship Bet forth in detail. Let the minds of the people be composed. Conditions have have been bad, negligence nnd shortsightedness have prevailed, but the remedy has at last been found. Cadet corns, guns,' ammunition, military camps (tor two weeks every year) under the direction of politicians and. professional militarists will accomplish what the 'aome, the church, and the school have failed so lamentably to secure, namely, "cleanliness, obedience and .punctuality." This proposition, tho person Interviewed tells ub, Bhould he supported with enthusiasm." There Is no question about It. If such marvels can be wrought by this agency In such a manner as described dt should bo compulsory not only for the youth, but for most of the mate population ns well, to place themselves under Its magic spell. T.et all men he caused to drink at this fountain of virtue and drink deeply. It would seam that the militarist propaganda, whltfn the article In ouestlor declares Is being carried forward throughout the Dominion, by claiming It to do so much as to outclass every other airencv for good ia really making Itself ridiculous In the eyes of thoughtful people and iitlll further strengthens n siiBpicton that the people nfter all are not taking very kindly to tbe Idea.

'28.—In llie course of an article published in the Giornale d'ltalla,, on the subject of the fresh naval construction necessary for Italy, Vice-Admiral Viotto deals with the anticipated naval strength of the European powers in 1A20. After giving In detail the number of battleships, etc., Which should then he in tbe possession of each power, he proceeds to tako thc German fleet ns the unit of strength and to work out the relative value of the other fleets In proportion to lt. These values are as follows: Britain, 1.00; France, .GO; Russia, .■16; Italy, .40; Austria, .20. He then goes, on to point out that "In a naval conflict between Great Britain and lho triple alliance the fleets would be equal in size, with a slight preponderance on the side of Great Britain due to the consideration that a homogeneous fleet !s superior to one belonging to different nations united together, The fleet of thc entente (Great, Britain and France) would be GO per cent superior to that of the triple alliance, and this would be sufficient to insure victory for tbe entente." "France and Russia," he continues Inter, "would bold Germany in check, having a slight preponderance of power, hufthcy could not face Great Britain, which, thanks to hor superiority at fjca against nny possible coalition, and to her policy of peace, Is and wili bc the arbiter of the situation."

LONDON, Aug. 28.—Itispossibie.no doubt, to be a music seller without being a musician. But can any one bc a successful art dealer without being himself something of an artist? He may not he skilled In painting or sculpture, but ho muBt at any rate bo an expert in that most delicate of the fine arts, tbe art of advertisement. He must know how to excite and how to allay the eagerness, of his customers. He must understand when to be silent about bis wares and when to boom them. He muat have an unerring in- 'stinct for the precise moment when his bait will be most attractive to the collector, as the accomplished angler realizes Just when and how he may tickle and land his fish. An Interesting and cdifying,story ha lately been made public in some letters to thc Times, About 2C miles from Oxford Is a small market town called Banbury- Its cakes and its ale have made it famous, and, as the Shakespearean student knows, it enjoys a peculiar reputation on account of Its tfheese. Banbury has also been able to point with pride to an artistic treasure. As befitted a town distinguished for lis victuals, this was to be found not In Its church or in Kj school, or In its town hall, but In one of Its lav cms, Its Reindeer inn has contained a so-called globe room, recognized as an excellent -specimen of Jacobean work, The most notable features of this room were its dark panelled wall: ils fine mullioned window and its exquisite plastered celling. Fur some time the whole inn bas been the property of the Hook Norton Brewing company, which originally tfhve about 515.- 000 for it, and had subsequently spent a sum not exceeding $2,500 on the repair and alteration of the building, leaving thc antique ben titles of the globe room untouched and unspoiled. Art Dealers Saw Chance. Throe years ngo a firm of London art dealers, Messrs. Lenygon, became aware of the opportunity at Banbury. Thn head of the firm, II. Lenygon. suggested to thc authorities of tlie South Kensington museum, that they should purchase the globe room, but they derided that they could devote their funds to better purposes. Unsuccessful attempts were then made to induce certain wealthy Englishmen to buy It and present It to South Kensington. Mr. Lenygon next approached the late. Sir Purdon Clarke, nt thai time director of lhc .Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. "We'thought," said the dealer, "possibly you might know of some American gentleman who would like to purchase it, either to exhibit the interior In a museum or In erect the complete room In some park or garden." Mr. Lenygon stated that, ihe room had been offered to him for $7,500, but he would like to make "some small profit" oh the transaction. nnd there would, of course, be some additional expenses in taking it down, etc. ! 'STt* rtirdrnV'Clarke naffimlly' Igrmrod' tho suggestion of Messrs. Lenygon that be should net ns their agent In securing American customers. But he thought the matter worth looking Into in the interesls of the Metropolitan museum. So he went down to linnburv nnd carefully inspected tho room. He found everything in better condition 'ban he had anticipated. Unfortunately, It was not oulte (be thing he wanted For some time lie had been looking for :i good exaninle or a Tudor wainscoted room. This. Iiowever, was of a.later period, which was already represented fn the New York museum: "If." he repljed, "I had unlimited money nnd snnce in the museum at New York T would endeavorto secure It: but, ns it does not illustrate Mie period required, nnd J do not think we con'-' afford room fnr two with so little difference in style between lliem, T must still look out fnr a Tudor exaninle, taking the chance of finding the Rnnbury room slill for sale should T fall." By this time—the spring or 1010—I! became known locally that the town was In dancer of losing her jewel, Al this stage there apneared on the scene n good fairy, in the person or Lady Algernon Lennox of Rronghtnn ensile Banbury, She began to negotiate wllb tbo Hook Norton Brewery compnny in the hope of purchasing tlie entire premises, that the globe room might remain Intact. The negotiations' en inn to nothinir. but she was nromlsed thai 'die should bo informed if tlie brewery definitely dentded to sell. Room Bought ana dismantled. The next she beard was in Juno Inst, when she learned, to her siirpri.se, that Ihe room had already been sold fo about ?5,000 to Messrs. Lenygon, Wh wore nctually engaged in dismantling it. Lady.' A. Lennox at once saw the art dealer. According to her story, lie professed himself anxious that the room should bo restored to Banbury, Me assured her that, although the panelling had already nrrived in London, he would defer the removal of the ceiling, and promised to let her know the next .day what would be the moderate profit that he would be prepared to accept ns his own share of the transaction. H. Lenygon, on the other hand, disputes her ladyship's version of the interview, In any case, the demolition of the room .was pushed forward with all speed. Tho spoils were rc-crecled In Messrs. Lenygon's London premises, cards of Invitation were Issued to view the treasure, and the usual newspaper reclame was set on foot, with rumors of the Inevitable American millionaire who was on thc point of purchasing It. On Inquiring the "price of the trophy. Lady Algernon Lonnov was told lhal she could have it for $22,B0O. Thereupon, the public-spirited lady thought It desirable to enlist the sympathy of some influential friend. She induced Lord Curzon to intervene. She communicated with him on July 23. The next day he saw the dealer, who "appeared to be amenable to tho arguments that were placed before him. resting as they did on grounds of self- interest as well as of public advantage, and promised a personal reply within 30 hours." Mr. Lenygon's own version la that this Interview was a "lecture," at which he wns "alternately flatlnred and bullied." ' On .Tuly 20 Lord CurKnn wns Informed that the room Hud been disposed of.

Ultimate Fate in Doubt. As tn the ultimate fate of the Globe mom Lord Curzoo and Lady Algernon Lennox arc as much in tlie dark as anybody else. Tbey have no means tbey tell us, of ascertaining "whethe: it has passed inlo the hands ut some unknown bin poblle-Bplrlted benefactor or wlielher it hits been made the subject of an niTungenieiii designed lo extricate those who arc involved from an uncomfortable position, or whether II lias entered upon one more phase "of ils career of uiiulbasbed profit-bunting, or whether it is fitted t,o disappear from our shores and lo turn up in a trans- Atlantic mansion or a continental museum." Meanwhile, the incident haa been used lo point various morals. Professor Selwyn linage makes it the text for a lamentation over tlie "indifference or criminal folly" with which thc nation suffers art and ils Interests to bo treated. Lord Curzon demands from parliament "such legislation ns will render these outrages impossible." Mr, Lenygon recommends llie formation of some "serious body" of persons who would actively interest themselves In purchasing historic works of art othor Ihnn pictures. The conclusion that will probably receive tlie most general endorsement is that of tbo Times —lhat, 1C anybody bus really been found to pay $23,500 ror the globe room he has paid more than it is worth.

(By Dally New* Leased Wire.} BERLIN, Aug. 28.—President Taffs signing of thc Panama cunal bill has released n flood of German comment, Btlll, however, more or less restrained, on America's disregard of her treaty obligations. Thefe is no doubt whatever that if tho Kaiser's government were not Itself sitting on tho lid, the people and government of the United States would be treated to some expressions of German opinion whleh would .make British comment .poor in 'comparison. A point on which stress will be laid Is tho ludicrous light in whleh tho affair plnccs America's vaunted enthusiasm' for tho arbitration of international disputes. The VosslBcho Zeitung strikes a new note tn its editorial article, commenting almost glowingly on tho disruption of Anglo-American friendship. It asks ironically what has become of Joseph Chamberlain's onco cherished dream of nn "Anglo-Saxon alliance between Great Britain, Germany and the United States?" < The Vosslsche Zeltung thinks the rift In the Anglo-American lute redounds to the benefit of the fatherland, as the unity 'between the English- speaking countries hns recently on more than one occasion been exploited against tho German empire.

SHANGHAI, Aug. 28.—It Is possible a bill may be passed In the national council ln Peking providing for Chinese control of the postal administration. This Is tbe outcome of the pique of threo Chinese, who recently returned to Peking from Austria and were disappointed because the officials did not at once offer them good positions in the postal service. Should the bill pass, and It very probably will, foreigners in thc service will bo dismissed and the Chinese will attempt to administer the service themselves. The service was founded by Sir Robert Hart, and has steadily grown until it has cut out the competition oi the Chinese hongs and Is giving a satisfactory service from northern Mon- goldia to Hainan und from the coast of thc China sea to tbe extreme west and even to Lhasa. It is stated that foreign control is absolutely essential for the success of the Chinese postal administration, but the Chinese hnve somo causo for complaint ln that only a few asslstnntshlps have been given to them and that most of them have boon given under pressure PEACE CENTURY ON THIS CONTINENT Incidents of War of Nearly Hundred Years Ago Aro Recalled—Astoria's History Romantic.

It is hardly likely that there are any widows of men who fought in 1812-15 on the British aide still alive, in Canada. Perhaps a few of the readers of the Gazette may be able to recall the figure of a Cha- teauguay veteran, a little old man of pleasant aspeot, who occasionally frequented our streets in the later fifties or early sixties and who liked nothing better than to be questioned as to his battle honors. He had been a Voltl- geur, and whether he had a pension Or not, lived largely on his fame, that time there must have been many survivors of the warriors of 1812 who fought on oiir side. But that ln thc year 1910 there should have been 338 widows of soldiers who hud served in that same war dn the American side seems to us somewhat remarkable. Yet such Is the official record. According to the rolls of the- pension office, the total number' of men who served in tho war .was 527,664, Most of these enlisted for periods of less than six months; more than half of them for less than three months. According to records in the war office at Washington, the sum total of pensions spent In the war of 1812 amounted to $46,000,- 000. Hailed Peace With Delight. The fact that after the treaty of Ghent was signed, the new world combatants still continued to meet as enemies, however anomalous it may appear today, wus not without precedent a century ago. There was no ocean cable in those days -to announce without delay the conclusion of the con* flict. The battle of New Orleans can hardly, therefore, he considered an interruption of the peace of tho ensuing century. It was fought on January 8, 1815—peace having been signed on December 24, 1814. "The wnr," writes an American historian, "hud caused u great deal of suffering and misery In this country by tho derangement of business, the destruction of property, and the loss of-life. The news of the pence was"huiled with delight." But, however pleused u nation may be at the return of peace after a cruel and hurrnsslng wnr, there arises In thc course of time u .generation that has no experience nf war's horrors, and is disposed to dwell with excessive optimism on its glories and Its gains. It Is hardly necessary, perhaps, to recall the hostile passages betweenJ the two powers that marked the outbreak of tho rebellion in Upper and Lower Canada in 183? und ,1838. In this case, the blame lay with the malcontents on this side of the line, who, us Goldwln Smith says, stretched out their arms for aid to the democracy of the continent. "But," he comments, "national ambition was not roused. Sympnthy wus confined to filibustering nlong the border. A bubble of war which the burning of the Caroline, un American armed vessel, by Cnnadians had blown, burst after an International altercation without harm." Oregon Comes to Front. .It wus In connection with the pre- Ron question thut tho crisis at lust supervened which uroused thc successors of tho war hawks of 1812 to the repetition of what. Dr. E. E. Sparks calls "boasting speeches." It was the trouble With Mexico that brought Oregon to the- front. In 1818 the 49lh parallel hud been recognized as the International boundary from..thc Luke of the Woods to the Stony or Rocky mountains. Between the Rocky mountains nnd the Pacific there wus to be In the meantime u Joint occupation. In the yenr 1787, a certain Captain Gray of Boston sailed to tlie Pacific const with the intention of currying on tho fur trade. The furs that he obtained from tho coast" Indinns in exchange fnr other goods he carried to Cbinn, whence he returned in 1790 to tho United States with a enrgo of tea. In 1791 Gray again set out from Boston and In 1792 was at the mouth of a large river to which, he gave thc name of his vessel, tho Columbia, The purchase of the vast Louisiana country drew the attention of American statesmen to the Missouri, Captains Lewis and Clark wero commissioned by President Jefferson to ascend thut river nnd to cross the mountnlns into tho coast region. These distinguished explorers discharged their,'task with ability nnd discretion, and their report .still rend with advantage. They returned to the east in 1806 and in 1808 the Ameriean Fur compnny was founded at St. Louis. In 1810 J. j. Astor, the fur trader, started" his overland expedition from St. Louis to Oregon. The story of Astoria Is best known from Washington Irvlng's monograph, which was not without its influence In the formation of public opinion in the challenge: "Fifty-four forty fight." Thc story of Fort Vancouver, the Hudson Buy compnny capital of Oregon, Ib as romantic ns that of Astoria. It was sorrowfully evacunted when Iho boundary question was finally settled, happily without recourse to war. The "treaty affair" is not yet forgotten either In tho United States or In Canada. The St. Albans raid, the Fenian raids of 1866 and 1870, and the Venezuela controversy of 1895 may be recalled ns occasions on which wise diplomacy Set n guard on Its speech. The Alabama claims, which wero adjusted In 1872, developed from sympathies with the southern cause which gave offense to the victorious north. If. therefore, tlie century (1814-1914) has had no Anglo-American wars, history shows that war scares wore riot wanting. Genernl Vinton Greene, U. S. A.. an expert military historian, Is led, however, by the experience of thut century to infer that war between the United States and England Is "Improbable even under extreme provocation." Ho is not so confident with regard to other nations ami the teachings of history prove, he thinks, that "war comes to tbe notion Hint Is not prepared for it," . . -...__.dUilfflJ The New Fall Coats Are Here In an endless variety of cloths—including Chinchella, Zibelines, Heavy Tweed Mixtures, Serges and Woolens in shades of brown, mole, taupe, greys, blues, etc Cut in the very latest styles—a few descriptions of the best lines as follows: Blanket Cloth Coat Splendid Wrap Elegant Coat with reversible revers, cuffs and patch pockets.

LONDON, Aug. 28.—English ship owners arc of the opinion that the time has not yet come for any concerted protest against the Panama eanal bill und thnt individunl protests uro useloss. Thoy regard the matter as one for government protest and rely on Sir Edward Grey to handle the matter to the best of their interests. The general manager of tho Hurrlman line said yesterday: "Wo regret the president's step, of course, but wo hardly see what wo can do. The situation will probably adjust Itsolf,pbut I think that any protest must be a matter for the government and not for individunl ship owners," A member of the firm of Andrew Weir & Co. said:- "Speaking purely from tho ship owners' point of view, the effect of American discrimination in the matter of coastwise steamers will not be at tho moment extensive, but will help American ship owners to oust Hrltish steamers from the business of carrying conl from the Atlantic coast to the Pncific and thc Philippines.

"This country bus gripped me ns no other land in my travels," he said, realize, after months of investigation, that the Americans ure the Romans of the future.

The so-called slung of the present American tongue is far more poetical, picturesque and serviceable than tho English of Shakespeare's time.

"From my Hist stay In London in 1901. and from personal conversations) with various Hritisn stiitcsmen and publicists, I have come to the definite conclusion thnt tiie imperial government, with any party lu power, will stand anything rather than ilslt a conflict with the United States. (i "I am not, however, to be counted among those Canadians* who cdiargo tholr statesmen with criminal negligence or cowardice, because of their passive hnd even, at times, submissive uttltudo toward the anoyance of the Yankees. They believe, and rightly, that even If victorious Great Britain1 would truni nothing by a war with the States, whilst she would make tremendous financial losses and run the risk of famine and social revolution at home. This is known Ih Washington better than In Ottawa, Montreal and Toronto, where We llefifeop In the narmw quietness and childish nro- tentions of our colonial Irresponsibility. Xo wonder, therefore, that American rulers, indifferent ns thov a'o to all nre- eepts of international honor und integrity, should laugh at Britain's protests. As to Cnnniilan wallings, thoy mind tliem no more than the romplalnts of tha remnants of Italian tribes."
