declared there were whole districts in his riding neglected by enumerators and the farcical side of the Fisher census-taking became apparent.The coal strike in Southern Alberta and Crow's Nest Pass fields with the failure of the Department of Labor to cope with the situation even with the much-lauded Lemieux aot at its back was the subject of extended debate in the House to-day.Mr.MacKenzie King came in for a severe mauling at the hands of the Opposition and was plainly told that instead of perambulating about the country making speeches in favor of reciprocity he should have devoted his energy to effecting a settlement in order that there might be no coal famine in the prairie provinces this coming winter.Mr.Gordon, of Nipissing, who has just returned from the scene of the Porcupine disaster, asked for subetan- tial aid in cash to help the sufferers.He pointed out the precedent in the Campbelltown fire.Mr.Arthurs, of Parry Sound, supported the demand, declaring that many of the towns swept by fire were not in a position to help -themselves, and settlement would be retarded by the high rate of taxation necessary to enable them to get on their feet again.Mr.Arthurs pointed out that the government jumped to the aid of San Francisco during the time of the earthquake and that was in a foreign country.Canada should also look after her own.Mr.Fielding replied that the question was receiving every consideration.The reciprocity debate was resumed to-night by Mr.Wilson Lennox (Addington).It is the evident intention of the government to make a final attempt to force the Opposition to swallow reciprocity \u201cbefore the appeal to the country.The Conservatives meet in caucus to-morrow, but their stand against the agreement is unalterable.CANADIANS DOING ; WELL AT

system.displacing the telegraph for this purpose.The company has had two telephone circuits in operation during the past 18 months, and these have given entire satisfaction.The entire system of the railway tos tals abolit 4,700 miles, and the telephone despatching department will include.32 circuits.The same number of operatives will be required as in the present telegraph service.Mr.Ashald said that the telephone system was much superior to the telegraph and in flexibility of operation it was considered much safer.À rough estimate of the cost of installing the system and placing it in

Regarding the Bursted Boom in Pacific Town.Vancouver, B.C., July 19\u2014Mr.R.T-wr of the Province Newspaper, who, because of his opportunity to tx eee wes lung residence in Vancouver is ahle to give a clear view of actual conditions in this city, wires the following statement for the benefit of Western investors and others who are interested in Vancouver: \u201cWhat ! wish to say is in reply to articles recently püblished in the Toronto World, the Brantford Expositor, the Ottawa Journal and other papers to the effect that the \u2018boom has busted\u2019 in Vancouver, and that there are fifteen thousand idle people looking for work.\u201ci have made an examination on several afternoons through the downtown district and 1 doubt if there are five hundred people idle.In any seaport there is a waterside floating population of sailors and loggers, but there are no more in Vancouver now than in any recent years.\"Every one knows thay sub-con- tracts for the construction of the Canadian Northern Railway through the Fraser Canyon for 1 miles have just been awarded.Contractors are scouring the coast for labor.Vancouver is their headquarters.Only a few hundred men can be got here.So few thay the contractors have asked the Board of Trade to petition the Domigion Government for permission to let down the immigration bars so that several thousand men may be brought in from the United States.\u201cThe real estate market is as quiet as it is every summer and not more so.People don't enjoy speculating in hot Vancouver weather any more than they do in®hot Toronto weather.I have failed to find any single instance of persons being closed out of prop erty, because they could not make good on second payments.\u201cThe entire Canadian coast trade centres here.Railway development is bringing millions in, and American capitalists are buying up coast timber and Vancouver real estate.I know of actual investments fully closed in the last month in Vancouver and Victoria of two and a half million dollars from visitors from Paris alone.\u201cA party of French investors is here now arranging an agency to invest five or six million dollars in mort.Rages.\u201d TREATY BETWEEN BRITAIN AND U.S.Ratified by the American Senate in Executive Session Yesterday.Washington, July 19-The treaty between the United States and Great Britain providing for the arbitration of pecuniary claims between the two countries in accordance with the general arbitration treaty, was ratified by the Senate in executive session today.The treaty provides that with four months either of the Governments may submit to the other any claims which it desires shall be passed upon, the only condition being that the claims shall be grouped.All claims not submitted within the time specified

shorter list against this Government consisting in the main of Canadian demands for the refund of hay duty.Many of the claims are of standing.The treaty was not acted upon by the committee on foreign relations until to-day and was ratified as soon as reported, an unusual proceeding.long MGR.STANGI ARRIVED AT HALIFAX, Halifax, N.8, July 19.\u2014=The steamer Rosalind arrived this morning at Sydney

\u2014apl2?xly advantages coming from these great enterprises about to be performed?Even at this juncture the Transcontinental Commission is employing hundreds of men to clear and level the ground for the \u2018site of its immense ; shops at the entry of the bridge.Be- 8 \u2018 fore long this spot should be a great center of attlvity and that part of the hill will soon lose its \u2018rustic appearance to become a suburb of Quebec.The bridge itself should form part of it to keep its name, and it is planned to annex all along the line of the Transcontinental from the city limits to the mouth of the bridge.Such an annexation should include not only Montcalmville but Sillery.It is certain that the completion of the Transcontinental will make the strip along the St.Lawrence more sought as a centre for industries, and the taxpayers of these parishes know that the moment their possessions | become the property of the city they will double and perhaps treble their value, while to-day they are undervalued as rural properties.Where country land is sold by the acre in the cities land is sold by the- foot.The usual argument advanced against this annexation is the theory that residence in the city means higher taxes, On the contrary if these parishes were to come in how they would enjoy the status quo for ten or fifteen years while during alt that time they would enjoy all the advantages that would be brought about by coming into the city.THE CHOLERA SITUATION.It is suspected that the four men detained in quarantine at Grosse Isle ate cholera casen and while there is no need to be panicky about it, it is well to know that the officials here are informed as to conditions in Europe and New York.In the latter place the situation is somewhat serious.The sixth death from the disease has occurred among passengers of the steamer Moltke, which arrived at that city a fortnight ago.There were fifteen cases under the care of the quarantine officials at Swinburne Isiand à few days past.Three persons suspected of being infected with it who were taken from a steamship that arrived from Naples, Saturday, are reported to be convaiescing.These cases are among immigrants arriving at New York.Patrick Cushing, watchman at Hoffman \u2018Island, contracted it, however, dying a week ago last Saturday.His lamily and another family occupying the same house have been closely watched but no symptoms of the dissase have developed.Cholera is sweeping through Italy, Naples being one of the places most afflicted.It is reported tha 2300 deaths from it have occurred at Palermo, Sicily, un average of thirty per day.It Is also said that it.has made its appearance in Tuseany, hear Fiena, The state of affairs in that country is very serious.It does nat .naces- sarily follow that

the most vigh lant watch, FOREST FIRES.While the heat undoubtedly contributes to the vast losses by forest fires it is the dry debris on the ground that provides the great fuel for them.: In a report on the subject issued by the Department of Agriculture at Washington five, necessary measures for the protection of the forest are given, as followst The disposal of stash from logging operations, The development of roads, and fire lines.The establishment of lookout stations and telephone lines.The organization of a protective supervisory and fire-fighting force.The control of insects which kill trees and cause an accumulation of dead, inflummable timber.It is, of course, to the interests of lumbermen to provide against these disastrous fires, and many of them are paying much more attention to the subject nowadays.But to carry out even the first of these measures properly would more than eat up all the profits of lumbering.Limitholders, however, should co-operate with the government to save our timber which is not nearly so inex- hanstible as was supposed only a few years age.The report of the Department of the Interior declares that the forest fires that are occurring are due rather to the lack of enforcement of existing 'laws than to the absence of regulations.In order to be enforced properly these laws must have the support of the people behind them for withomt it Legislatures will not vote the -generous sums necessary for carryiig on the work.It is also pointed ou that reforestation has its timits and that it cannot undo the work of a disastrous fire.Not only are the standing trees destroyed but the soil is often rendered permanently unfit for growing another forest for the erason that the humus in the ground is consumed.Even in cases where the soil is not spoiled for a second growth it is generally found that the forest succeeding a burned pine or spruce district is made up of inferior varieties of trees on account of the fact that aspen, poplar, birch and jack pine produce more s¢eds than white pine and scatter over a wider area.trails FIGHTING TUBERCULOSIS, The recent report of the British Commission, which made an inquiry as to whether bovine tuberculosis can be transmitted to humans, apparently confirming a hypothesis held for some years by the most advanced bacteriologists, seems to intimate that the danger from the use of milk, butter and checse produced from cows affected with the disease is very great.The men who conducted the investigation have heen able to differentiate the bacilli of human and bovine tubercuiosis and have found entist who discovered the specific germ of consumption, held that the bacilli from cattle could not be transmitted.There has been an advance since then and the case is pretty well proven, It seems to make necessary the Pasteurization of all milk and dairy products from herds not proven to be immune.Dr.Koch held that if mitk could carry the disease to humans it would be demonstrated by the greater prevalence of intestinal consumption.This is now shown to be the case, but, after all, the number of cases ls comparatively small whil¥ the wiping out of the disease among dairy cattle is really a monumental task.There is one view of the matter that has not been sufficiently emphasized in the zeal for new specific discoveries, Theoretically ewe are all exposed hundreds of times a day to the countless millions of germs floating in the alr, lodged in afl public places of amusement or in the very food that we eat.Yet only a few persons are infected and fewer yet succumb to the onslaught of the germ, Ag a rule only persons of weakened vitality or physical resources are seized.It is Irhposaibte, for instance.under present sanitary regulations to avoid the plague, This argues that the best way to combat ln is-to build up bodily strength, to 82c 2 do, he; see that children hgrome vigorous through nourishing food, regular exercise and outdoor life -The battle is for such vigor that the parasite cas make no hegdway if once ah in the body.It is even te too much emphasis is given t@ theoretical considerations and possibilities |- of infection while too tittle is male of the advisability of resistance.THE INFLUX OF BRITISH CAPITAL, The Monetary Times has an interesting article showing the tremendous increase in \u201cthe investment of British capital in.Canada during the past six or seven years.The table deals only with Canadian borrowings in Great Britain for Industrial, light and power purposes.and does not include railway, mining and other large development works.\u2014 Ig - she three lines mentioned the amount of British capital invested in Canada \u2018increased from $5,000,000 in 1908 to over $15000000 in 1910, while for the first four months of the present year it amounted to about $12,000,000, The exact figures are given in each case and only include amounts running into six figures, The grand total reaches the amazing sum of con- | siderably over 865,000,000 for the period mentioned.In addition to the above the probability of many large investments in the near future is mooted, including over $16,000,000 to be expended in dry dock schemes on both the Atlantic and: Pacific coasts.It is stated that $1,000,000 of English capital will be invested in a whitewear company with a factory at Three Rivers, and an English and New Brunswick syndicate has been organized with 4 capital of $5,000,000 to develop the mineral oil industry in connection with the shale deposits in that province.SUFFRAGISTS.The woman suffrage movement to a large extent represents a restlessness brought about by conditions through which many women have an abundance of deisure and very littie connèc- tion with the home.There are, however, still a gerat many ladles who are not impressed with the idea that the ideals for women's future are to be found in an imitation of men.There are still many cultured, intelligent women who feel that any tén- dencies which diminish woman's interest in children, in personal auper- vision of them, in her.home and in private peace as opposed t6 public excitement, are tendencies towards degeneration.Such women have only regret for the woman's rights woman who takes pride in acquiring publicity through becoming a restless faddist.Political economists are disposed to consider consumers of tobacco wu \u201cwasters\u201d who divert the revenue of the state into forbidden channels.This assertion is not entirely accurate.A wealthy Montreal tobacco manufacturer, Sir Wiliam MacDonald, has recently donated hig tenth million to McGill University.Without the cooperation of the consumers this munificent endowment would not have been given, and the cause of higher education retarded to that extent.The smoke from ten thotsand pipes may unconsciously prove incense in honor of a worthy cause.TORONTO PROVISION MARKET Quotations are as follows.Wheat\u2014Ontario, No.2, winter, 80 utside,

Alcazar, Morocco, by a Spanish patrol.The Ambassador said that the Spanish Foreign Minister had not yet received a report on the subject, but that after reading the French official version of the incident, he had expressed regret to the French Ambassador at Madrid and his government.Senor Perez-Caballero sdded that the ministry requested him to repeat this expression to M, De Selves and inform the French Foreign Minister that as soon as he receives a full report from the legation at Tangier he will instruct Colonel Sylvestre, commander of the Spanish section of the.Moorish police, to convey adequate apologies to M.Boisset.In addition, the Spanish Ambassador said, he was desirous of maintaining cordial reia- tions with France and had forwarded instructions to its agents at Alcazar in this

influence wil be on the potato and root crops and corn, which were badly in need of rain.The grain erop is very well advanced and the rain would not do so much good as to the roots.Montreal, July

RING RECOVERED FROM SEA.It Had Droped From A Woman's Finger And Found by Diver.(From the Los Angeles Examiner.) From the depths of the ocean off Venice pier, where it sank when it slipped from the finger of its owner, the diamond engagement ring lost by Mrs.A.R.Woods, the wife of an Arizona mine owner, was rescued a few days ago.The jewel was recovered by Al Burton, a deep sea diver, who for some time past has been working as the first assistant of Capt.Al Christy, one of the best known submarine workers of the Pacific coast.Twenty-eight minutes after he disappeared beneath the waves Burton was drawn to the surface, and holding up his hand flashed the rescued jewel toward the spot where Mrs.Woods was cagerly watching his operations, Burton, when he learned of the generous reward offered by Mrs.Woods, determined to recover the jewel.With Captain Christy he had come to Venice to attempt to recover a huge barge anchor, which was lost more than a year ago, but before siarting his search for the mudhook he determined to make an effort to earn the $100 which had been offered for the recovery of the ring.Ascertaining from Mrs, Woods as nearly as the latter was able to tell, just where the ring had disappeared, Burton, his air hose and life line in charge of Captain Christy, descended into the rough water outside the breakwater, For nearly half an hour his movements under water could be traced by the line of bubbles from his helmet as he searched the bottom under th: float.Then Christy received a sudden signal to \u201chaul up,\u201d and a moment later the helmet of the diver appeared above the surface.Burton waved his hand, and even from the pity the diamond couid be seen flashing on his finger.\u201cPINAFORE\u201d AT ITS PINNACLE.Editors Had to Forbid Use of Its Catch Phrases There was a time when the vogue of \u201cPinafore\u201d was simply amazing.It was not copyrighted and after its success in London it was pirated in the United States.This piracy was the initial cause of Gilbert's hatred of America and Americans.However, if America did no send him its dollars, it was quite ready to spread his fame.Church choirs added \u201cPinafore\u201d to their repertoires, and it is recorded that 100,000 barrel organs were constructed to play nothing else.Here is an ironical note from a newspaper of the time: \u201cAt presene there are 42 companies \u201cplaying \u2018Pinafore.\u2019 Companies formed after 6 pm.yesterday are not included.\u201d Its catch phrase, \u201cWhat, never?Well, hardly ever!\u201d was deadly.It is told, for instance, that one editor barred his staff from using it.\u201cIt occurred 20 times in as many articles yesterday.Never let me sce it used again.\u201d \u201cWhat, never?\u201d was the unanimous question.\u201cWell, hardly ever,\u201d replied the wretched man.The readiness of W.8.Gilbert's wit is well illustrated by this story told of him.He and F.C.Burnard, the editor of Punch, were guests at the same dinner table where a wise host placed the rival humorists at opposite ends of the room in the hope of distributing equally the witty table talk.Continual shouts of laughter rose from Gilbert's corner until Burnand, after ineffectual attempts to arouse a similar jocularity in his immediate circle and unable to conceal his chagrin, leaned forward and said in his most sarcastic manner: \u201cI suppose Mr.Gilbert is telling some of those funny stories which he occasinally rends to Punch but which don\u2019t appear.\u201d To which Gilbert drily replied: \u201ci don't know who sends the funny stories to Punch, but it's very true they don't appear.\u201d Children Ory FOR FLETCHER'S ICASTORIA spiracies the world has ever known,\u201d !
