ublic early the Italian liner \" Nantucket, Mass., has by a series of events, making it one of the most remarkable mishaps on record.No less than seven ocsen liners\u2014the Baltic, New York, Furnessia, La Lorraine, and Lucania, and the two orip- ed ships, Republic and Florida\u2014are guring in this ati story.The 2 passengers of the ic have ue two transfers on the open , first to the crippled Florids, on Saturday morning, and again early to-day to the more commodious Baltic, which is bringing aleo the 900 and more Passengers from the dis abled Florida.ith this great), human burden of 1,650 rescued persons, besides ber own list of 930, the Baltic will arrive off Sandy Hook about 11 o'clock to-night.The Republic started for New York, towed by the Liner Furnessia aft.Florida, with her bow rent from the terrific impact with the Republic, is also slowly steering, under her own steam, for this port, convayed by the American liner New York Until an sarl bour to-day it was believed the collision of the two big ships off fog-bound Nantucket Satur day morning had not resulted in death or injury to a single passenger or member of the crews.Shortly after midnight, however, the wireless tele graph, that wonderful force which apprised the world of the Republic's treas and quickly brought other Shire to her aid, Dashed the neve t two passe; on public bad been killed Ed two others injur- ad.Late in the day another wire- lens message told of four deaths on orida, but the identity pl these persons were not made clear.The message from Captain Ransom, of the Baltic, to the White Star Co., in this city, gave the names of the dead as Mrs.Eugene Lynch, of W.J.Mooney, a banker, Tasker, g D.The i are rs.M.M.Murphy, wife of the fnan-1 cla! agent of the Union Central Life ins.Co., of Grand Forks, N.D., and Tugene Lynch, of Boston.Mr.Mooney and his wife, with Mrand Mre.Murphy, were bound on a pleasure trip from the west to the editerransan and occupied state rooms on the top deck aft, on the port side, Mr.and Mra.Lynch occupied an ndjuining state room.The company cannot understand bow the passengers were killed or injured in that part of tha Republis, because it is understood she was struck amid- ipe.Anxious friends and relatives he sieged the White Star offices with in- Quiries about pessengers of the Re public, but other than the terse mess ages from Capt.Ransom of the Bal tie, which were made public, no news was received.The hodies of the dead and injured passengers are on the steamer Baltic.The steamer General Putnam hes boen chartered hy the company: and will ro alongside the Baltic when she reaches quarantine Monday mgrning, for she is not ex pected up the bay to-night.Details of the collision at sea in the dense fog came fitfully by wireless 10.day from many receiving stations along the New England coast line.The atory.though it was in hrief messages, told how the pasmengers of the Republic and the orida spent anxious and uncomfortable hours after the eollision, and did not feel secure until 8 o\u2019clock this morning, when all were on the Baltic.After the transfer of the passengers \u2018from the Republic to the Floridawhich had no accommodations for the 40 and more additions to her ai.ready beavy hurden of bumanity, Cape tain Voitolin, of the Italian ship, stood by until further help arvived.An examination of the Florida show- «! that ber cut-wator and bow were erumpled np na if she had run into a stone wall and that her two forward compartiments were fille with water.She showed no signs of sinking, though she was slightly down by the head.Ti war deemed t, therefore, pm ight to transfer Dot onl nblic\u2019s passen, ; ut ll those nn boart the Florida as well.Capt.Voltolin holieved his progress to New York would jhe slow, and there wore, ineuffcient accommodations and suppliea for so many passengers.Fhortly before midaight the tranr ference of the passengers of the Florida to the Baltic began.Fortunately the ssa was smooth and placid and the ships\u2019 boats under the filmy flare of night lights, made their way back and forth between the steamships in the fog.Neanwhile the Republio drifted away in the murk and was lost to the sight of those on board the Baltio and Florida.Céptain Seal.> ue a ponts crew kent slongnide the tblie fo a giz and were keep- fag watch over the disabled

og the Mlorida\u2019s [azeengers, ha placed on the tie, Captain Ransom seat a.wireless message to Now York that he was gong in search of the Republic.As the moming advanced the fog lifted and the disabled steamship was picked up.The gashed liner seemed to be floating more easily and Captain Sealby and his boat crew, who had remained beside her all t, boarded her.The wireless operator, who had stuck to his ship until ordersd ofl by the captain, > H some new s eu message, La Lorraine from her fruitless search and sent her into port, came from the Baltic at 6.40 pm.It read: \u201cRepublis says to steer for the ida.he is ing to New Y with passengers and must have some one to stand by, Bhe is blowing four asts.\u201d Barly in the morning when she started on ber dash, La Lorraine repeated the Sissconsett operator's message of distress to the Lucania of the Cunard Line.If the Lucania replied, La Lorraine.failed to receive the answer.THE REPUBLIC SINKS.New York, Jan.24 \u2014 The

Gresham, which cast loose from the crippled liner and stood by until she sank.The bam and the Senora then headed for the Massachusetts const and will land Capt.Sealby and his brave crew at Gayhead or

Antiques hy Chemical Washings.The United States buys annually many thousand dollars\u2019 worth of what are known to the profession as washed rugs.Brightly colored oriental rugs sometimes\u2019 are washed with a solution of chloride of lime, a treatment which partly blesches the colors and imparts a ecft appsarauce to the rug.This chemical treatment is a process of washing which produces the effect of age and a peculiar sheen to the surface, which is pointed out by the un- scrupulaus dealer as à proo supe- ir The fact is that the process of washing as desoribed invariably weakens and in some instances destroys the materials of ths rug.The progressive effect of the chem- jeals on the materials in the rug is this: The chlorine gas contained in the chloride of lime attracts oxygen snd moisture from the air, hy which muri- atic acid is formed.This eats away the vitals of the rug.Sooner or later the wool and cotton in the rug become brittle and thus weaken the warp and deteriorate the wool.When this deterioration is complete the pile of the rug may be swept away by the ordinary process of sweeping, and the warp, which is the foundation of the rug.becomes so weak that from New from the rug is worthless.It not seldom happens that a Persian | § rug is too staring in some bright hue, : perhaps red, and is not salable.The unscrapulous dealer will subject the rug to a series of washings in chemically prepared water.In this way be turns out a rug possessing a soft antique sheen that is truly captivating and finds & ready purchaser at an ad- vanoed price.OUT OF ORDER.Sucoses

Cghetgll recommendation that capable and efficient officials should be udeqeitely renumer- ated, which he slrarty Jets, it bo, vo- \u201cderstood they axemmet now ja his opinion, adding, \u201cit is an easy matter for those in affluent circumstances to hokl up their hands in honor: they have not been in à position to be tempted.\u201d Thirdly, Judge Carsels praises the action, however tardy, of Mr.Brodeur, in abolishing the patronage system in his department, which he calculates will be productive of the save ing of a million dollars a year.This in a sufficient indication of the learned judge's opinion ss to the extent to which the country has suffered by the graft and corruption to which the system gave rise, and he adds the pert- ment saquiry, \u2018are there no other departments of the Government which could be deait with in ths same manner, suggesting the intment of three capable men, assisted by in- spectora, conversant with the ruling market prices to act as purchasing agente for all the departments, for to depend on the Auditor-General alone to check undue expenditure, \u201cis,\u201d says the judge, \u201cto lock the stable door after the horse is stolen.\u201d The report ie couched in temperate, and even generous terme, but it is evident both from what it says, and from what it Jeaves to be inferred.that it was high time for an investigation to take place into the adminia- tration of the department, and that the attacks made on it were not without solid foumlation.The suggestions contuined in it will strike everybody an eminently reasonable and practi: cable and it is to be hoped that the Goyernment will lore no time in enrrying them into effect.A CONTRAST.For the past two years the Éaurier Government has besm Irantically en- ! deavoring to consummate a French : treaty.Members of the Govemment | have paid frequent visita to Varis.(They have wpent much time in framing up an arrangement which | would | afford freer tracle intercourse between | canade uni France.Canada has been ger; France has held hack.Yet in spite of French | apathy the Laurier Government has | pernisigd in ite efforts, and even now, Hon.W.8 Piobdiaz ia \u2018a Paris m- er and Over Again | Headaches.Billousness.Constipation.Ayer's Pilsremember i! Headaches.\u2014\u2014 deavoring to bring the negotiations to @ successful conclusion.Canadians are biginning to wonder why all this effort should be expended in an attempt to conclude a French treaty.Freer trade betwem Canada and France is uo doubt desirable and the treaty which has been so long under consideration might be routual- Jy beneficial, but it is just a little cx- traordinary that the Laurier Government should pursus towards France, a policy that has been entirely absent from our dealings with Great Britain.A preference in the British markets would be worth more to Canada ina your, than all the French treaties that will ever be negotiated would be worth in a life time.The Laurier Government has made no effort to se ere a preference.It has, on the contrary, declared that it would never lift ita little finger in an effort to urge England into the acceptance of preferential trade.But while Sir Wilfrid Laurier will do nothing to facilitate imperial preferential trade, with all ita untold possibilities of profit to Canada and security to the empire, he and his min- Isters ave turning hand-springs to secure from the reluctant hand of France the signature to a commercial treaiy.Hall the effort that has been expended in the endeavor to negotiate a Freach treaty, if intelligently directed towards Great Britain, would without doubt have brought Canada within measurable reach of a preference in the British market, il not in actual possession of it.Why should effort wanted on France be persistently with- beld from Great Britain?Canada is not a supplicant for commercial favors from any nation in the world.This is a fixed principle of Canadian policy which no government dare defy.In pursuance of it we have told the people o the United States plainly that we would make no more overtures to Washington, and we have enforced against Germany a commercial policy of undisguised hostility.Canada's firmness as directed against the United States and Germany in singularly out of harmony with Canada\u2019s meekmess in negotiatiens with France.Still more is it out of harmony with the policy of obatinec, that Canada has directed against Great Britain.No one would ask, no one has ever asked that Canada should seek from the mother country an imperial preference as a favor.No one has suggested that our desire for imperial preference should be exerted along lines other than forosful argument and intelligent persuasion.The Laurier Government has pernist- ently refused to use argument or persuasion with the British people look ing to a practical recoguition of the preference we give them.It has on the other hand, bad members of the Government for the past two years kicking \u2018their heels in the corridors of the French Senate, where to-day stands Hon.W.8.Fielding, cap in hand, to solicit commercial favors which are neither here nor there in the prosperity of Canada.These attimpts at treaty making with France has placed Cannda in the moat undignilied position shh has ever occupied iu her relations with foreign countries, and they ars particularly striking and impressive in their contrast with the Laurier Government's refusal to expend an ounce of argument in influencing British public opinion ia favor of an imperial preference.THE WORLD'S FORESTS.The approximate number of acres of available public forest lands in

forestry were educated abroad, while now they are schooled at home.France and Germany together spend $11,000,000 a year on their forests, but they get $30,000,000 a year for their forest pro- duots in return.The forest products of British India are valued annuslly at $14,000,000, with a net annual re venus to the Government of $8,900, 000.\u2018The Indian forest service is ons of the most efficient

\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 FORECAST OF LIBERAL POLICY The Times has set itself to the task ol forecasting the programme of tbe British Government for next ysar and the year after, and the list is quite & comprehensive one.First and fore most, when the house meets\u2019 this year, will be the budget, which it suggests will include high license duties and taxation of land values.The latter is one of the most debatable subjects that could possibly be brought for ward.True it has been discussed for years by at least one section of the community, but there are others who have only the faintest conesption of its meaning, except that it is an attack on the \u201cunearned increment\u201d of the landed propristor.Liberals as well as Conservative members of the House will be equally affected by such a measure, and their votes in favor of the imposition of such a tax, should they be given, would be votes in.favor of adding to they are owners of land.The principle has long been forced on the attention of the House by the Labor party, and if it forms part of the budget proposals it may be regarded as a sop to this party.Other measures for the present year are to be, if the Times ix a true prophet, the Irish Land Bill, from last session ; Housing and Town Planning Bill, also from last session; Education bill (for building new schools) ; a non-contentious Licensing bill, whatever that may mean; a London Reform bill, to provide one rate for the whole of the metropolis; bills of unemployed, invalidity insurance and organized labor exchanges.In connection with the unemployed and labor bills it ie significant that Ramesy Macdonald, escrstary of the Labor party, has intimated that un less the Government turned over u new leaf and observed more sympathy, initiative, and determinstion in dealing with the serious problems of unemployment, it would find the labor party before long in violent conflict with it.This threat is wo idle one, and it is probable it may bave the effect of bringing the Government up to date on the subject.A reasonshle measure would est with general approval, and could be passed through almost as a non-con- tentious bill.For 1910 the suggested programme is not a long one, but it contains most important and debatable mea- sures\u2014a Welsh Disestablishment bill ; Scottish Land bill, from the session of 1907; Electoral Reform bill, and possibly a Women's Sufrage bill.The rejection of these by the Lomtis, the Times suggestn, would lead to a dis solution.In all probability the Elec \u2018loral Reform bill will be introduced, because all the traditions of the Liberal party are in the direction of ap- pesling to the country on such a re form \u2018measure.It is hardly likely, however, they will lay themselves open to a charge of legislating through fear and force by bringing forward n measure of enfranchisement for women.\\ One matter the Times has omitted\u2014 the reform of the Hows of Lords, which is certain to be taken up.The Prime Minister in a recent utterance said : \u201cI invite the Liberal party from to-night to treat tbe veto of the House of Lords us the dominating issue, because in the long run it ab sorbe and it overshadows every other.\u201d This would seem to indicate a determination to force the question forward to a settlement at the earliest possible opportunity.re ct ee ef

That diamonds are born in the inter stellar spaces and that, fused in the mass of vast meteorities, they crashed down upon the semiplastic earth ages ago, is the theory recently advanced by two Russian savants, Latechmof This hypothesis, it is said, has also found n swpporter in Sir William Crookes, the great English scientist.The production of diamonds bas been proved to be dependemt upon their chemical components being simultaneously subjected to incalculable pressure and tremendous heat.Whea the cooling takes place under this great pressure thess precious stones are the result.Only nature, however, has thus far been able successfully to ve- cure these conditions.eteorites which, though of la: bulk, are tiny compared to those of ages past have been found to contain particles having all the characteristics of diamonds.That is.briefly, the hasis of the theory advanced by the Russian scientists.Thoy say that millions of years ago immense aerolites dashed againet the terrestrial crust and penetrated it to a considerable depth.The crystalised enrbon which they contoined was finally disseminated and formed the diamond ficlds of South Africa, for ex- amnle.: But the major part of the work of making diamonds wes done, according in the Russian view, when the stupendous molten masren, hurled throuch millions of miles of space, went smashing into the earth.At any rato, there are still plenty of dismantle for those who have the price, and whether they erupted from the center of the earth or travelled a thousand wars from some sold place among the far-oll stars isn't likely to % | make a pin\u2019s difference in their cost.mr A PROBLEM OF CO-EDÜCATION.Senate of Gliesgowr University \u2018 han loaned an order that irl gradn- ates are not to converse inside
