[" \"J THE FIGHT AGAINST GAM BLING.Some Points Which Have Appealed \u201cto a Weil-Kown (To the Editor of the \u2018Witness.\u2019 sir \u2014lÎt has been reported iu the press at District Attorney Jerome bas finally uoiained a new weapon by which he Loves to strike a fins! blow to the sam bling evil in New York city, and this ayprars in the form of the Dowling anti- gambling law, which removes the fear which witnesses, who are employees of \u201cui dens, might have of giving evidence agaiust their employers, thus incriminat- ug themselves.; For reasons which the public can best pudge for themselves, those who have the jower aûl authority to stamp out these i ptiles have frequently expressed the union that our law is weak and ineffec- avr.and that there are loop-holes tbrough which they may crawl.\u2018 If the protection given ie reluctant witnesses, who are the gambling kings\u2019 slaves and well-informed as to their masters\u2019 doings, 1» a fatal weapon in the opinion of Jerome (and Mr.Jerome knows something about these things), it might be of interest for the public to know that this disposition of law has been on our statute book for over twenty years, and is still unrepealed.The Revised Statutes of Canada, chap.158, secs.9 and 10, embodied in art.575 of the Criminal Code oi Canada, state that every such person who refuses to give evidence is lable for contempt, but \u2018every person so required in he examined as a witness, who upon rmination, makes true disclosures, st of his knowledge, of all things +h he is examined, shall receive udge, justice of the peace, ma- aminer or other judicial officer m such proceeding is had, a \u2026auase IN writing to that effect, and vhall be freed from a criminal prosecution and penal actions, and from all penalties and forfeitures and punishments to which he has become liable .for anything done before that time in respect of the matters regarding which he has been exam- ived The readers of this paper will no doubt remember that fifteen years ago the Montreal \u2018Daily Witness\u2019 closed up one of the biggest gambling combinations in the city; had seized $10,000 in cash in the sate of one of these establishments, as well as some $5,000 worth of gambling tools; and the lessee of the dem, after can- viction, ran out of the court rather than face sentence to 3 long term of impmison- ment, and has since been a fugitive from ustice and a good riddance to Montreal.The Jaw shen was the same as it \u2018is mow, and it seemed to work.There is noth- iDg Wrong with the law.What we want is to have it enforced.In those days there were real raids, and impartial enforcement of the law broke up one of the worst dens in the city.Since then, luwever, the people, who form what is.Lawyer.A known as the Montreal gambling trust, seem to have become imbued with the belief that, so far as punishment for gambling does, they are immune.To them, however, there is coming a rude awakening, and at present there are two cases before the courts, those of Brady, of 164 St.Lawrence street, and Nichol- won, of 59 Metcalfe street, who bave been running these places for over seven years, without the loss of a dollar's worth of gambling.In fact, so free have they been from the fear-of prosecution that they seem to have began to think that their business was legal.Now, the way to undeceive these people, a way to rid the city of this monstrous evil that has wrecked so.many homes and brought so many of our young men to ruin, is to give them a real raid, one of those we have heard so much about, and dispossess them of their gambling outfits, arrest forty of fifty of their players, and line them up in the courts of justice, and we do-not think that the présent gang will stand for a -eecond raid.There is still another way.Notify the landlords of these several resorts of the illegal purposes to which their premises are being put, and, -if necessary, bring them, too, before the courts.The iaw looks after them.Art.204, sec.(a), oi the Criminal Code gives them their medicine, which it prescribes -in the following dose: \u2018Every one is'guilty of an indictable offence and liable to one year\u2019s imprisonment, and to a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars, who (a) uses or knowingly allows any part of any premises under his control to be used for the purpose of recording or registering any bet or wager, or selling any pool.\u2019 Is it not a fact that District Attorney Jerome made every gamblér of New York bring in his gambling tools?They tried to save their apparatus, but he refused to allow them to do so, and there |}, was only one way, and that was to bring in the tools and destroy them.This is what we want to see done in Montreal.We want to see the famous \u2018pull\u2019 of which they are so fond of boasting taken from them.- Is it.not a fact that the parties who control the gambling trust at the present day are blamed for instigating the minor raids, so that they may do-all the sem bling themselves, as they have \u201cfor Foor 25 In co the last Ri \u2018years?ww: wsilon, we may sayg and we \u2018know of what we speak, the Jaw against gambling as it exists to-day is strong enough to close every gambling houke and keep it closed.All that is wanted is to put the machinery in motion, C.D.GAUDET.Street Railway Chambers, Montreal, Nov.28, 1908.A STEAMER FOUNDERS LOSS OF THE \u2018J.H.JONES\u2019 AND TWENTY-FIVE LIVES.\u2014 » Wiarton, Ont, Nov.27.\u2014The coasting steamer \u2018J.H.Jones,\u2019 owned by the Crawford Tug Company, a local institution, it is now conceded, foundered off Cape Croker on Thursday afternoon, and all hands were lost, \u2018lune crew eon- usted of twelve, all from Wiarton, and the blow to the town is a severe one.The \u2018Jones\u2019 which plied between Owen Sound, Wiarton and Manitoulin Island ports, was one of the staunchest steamers on the Georgian Bay, was fitted per- tectly, was commanded by ome of the 1 and most experienced men on the lakes, Captain Crawford, and carried à crew that were born sailors.Part of a cabin, a lifeboat, and two unidentified bodies have been found by Indians on the north shore of the Christian Islands.Boats are now out from here, Owen Sound, Penetanguishene, and Parry Sound, looking for survivors and wreckage, but it is hardly likely anything or any body will be dound.I'he boat carried a good list of pas- ~ngers, and the following crew : Cap- fam J.V.Crawford, Mate E.Lennox, Wheelmen D.Ross, George McEwan, Engineers Chas.N.Shaw, W.Sadler, iremen Tom Simmonds, L.Simmonds, Ll.MacVittie;

SUPPLY SCHEME \u2014 Mr.Janin Explains How He Proposes to Finance the Undertaking.ESTIMATES SAVING OF $li0,000 PER ANNUM, AND PAYMENT IN FORTY YEARS.The Legisiation Committee will be asked to-nignt to insert a clause in lhe city charter amendments authorizing the city to borrow the sum of $2,000,000 ior a period of forty years, to cover the cost of the new water supply scheme as out- Lned by Mr.Junin, superintendent of waterworks.\u2018lhis scheme involves the extension of the intake middie of the St.Lawrence, the enlargement of the present aqueduct, and the placing underground of the new supply pipe.It is Mr.Janin's idea to use the new underground pipe for the domestic water service, and to utilize the open aqueduct supply as hydraulic power for tum- ing the pumping plant.Mr.Janin, in a statement presented to the committee yesterday, estimated that in forty years the interest on a loan 32,000.00 would amount to $3,200,000, this, with a sinking fund of $841,880.making a total of $4,041,880.Against this he sets the saving which he estimates would be effected by driving the pumps with hydraulic power instead of with steam power, which he sets down at $110,000 a year.strikimg an average over the whole period of forty years, and allowing for a reasonable increase in the demand for water in the city.This, for forty years, would amount to $4,400.000, leaving a balance in favor of the city of $338,120.Mr.Jenin also estimates that when the hydraulic power is installed, the city will have a surplus of 5,000 horsepower to sell, \u2018and that the proceeds from the sale of this will go to further redupe the expense.\u2018 The committee endorsed the sdheme.and agreed to apply to the Legislation Committee as stated above, TENANTS\u2019 RESPONSIBILITY MUST PAY ROR DAMAGE RESULT ING FROM LEAVING SNOW ON ROOF.- \"C0, the Superior Court \u2018from the defendamt, his tenant.While the Webb Company occupied as a tenant the warehouse, bearing Nos, 141-3-5, of St.Maurice street, in this city, longing to plaiutiff, the roof of the building gave way and coHapeed under the pressure of ice, water and snow, carrying with it and destroying or damaging, all the stories and the flooring down to the cellar.The proprietor held his tenant responsible for the damage, but the first count dismissed his action, The majority of the Court of Review, however, reversed that judgmedt and maintained the action.Their Lordships found that the roof was dramed by a pipe, inside the building, connected with the sewer, but this pipe got frozen through by the fault of the defendant, who did not heat the upper part of the building during the winter.and in such a case it was the duty of the tenant to remove the snow and ice and water from said roof, so as to prevent their accumulation, and also the, leaking of the water through the roof.SEQUEL TO RUNAWAY MUST PAY FOR DAMAGE DONE BY NEGLECTED HORSES.The Court of Review has confirmed the judgment of the Superior Court condemning the defendant to pay the value of a plate glass broken by his runaway , in a case of Miller vs.Desjardins.The court found that the horses were left in an open shed during a cold night in February, from 5 p.m.to 10.30 pm.tied by one rein only, without food or care of any kind.This was sufficient even if the horscs were covered by blankets, as pretended by defendant, to render them temporarily vicious, if they were not so by their nature.and was in itself clear neglect sufficient to render defendant responsible for their getting away, and for the damage done.A FRANKLIN SYNDICATE MAN AMMON RELEASED

MR.McGOUN.(To the Editor of the \u2018Witness.\u2019) Sir,\u2014I read in your last night\u2019s edition what purported to be an answer to my letter which appeared in the \u2018Gazette\u2019 of Nov.21, and was surprised tbat Councillor McGoun should have so carefully avoided replying to the specific questions set forth in my letter.In no part of my letter did put forth a claim that I considered that 1 posseseed more legal knowledge fhan all the bar and the bench and this statement in the letter is quite gratuitous and uncalled for.What I did say was, \u2018I have been interested in a large nwnber of lawsuits, and have won a good average of them.On the other hand I have found that it was cases which counsel were pretty sure of that went against me, for unfortunately the judges aid not agree with counsel.\u201d This is a fact and not a personal.opinion, even if stated by an ord yman, When a lawyer possesses all knowl~dge and 18 able to \u20182ll beforehand, as Coun- eillor MeGoun claims he can, what is to be the final decision on a contested Jaw- suit, then all that a layman can do is to take a back seat and look with wonder on the great intelligence and spirit of prophecy with which the legal geatle- man has been endowed.[ will again repeat the questions that I asked in the Gazette, leaving out the fourth, as Councillor McGoun has aiready decided thas there is no question but thai the tewn will win its suit if it comes to trial oe te ie Si EYE ù EXQUISITE CARMENTS FOR EVEMISC WEAR with gold and shaded green cord.Empress Taffeta Lining.+ causes Ladies\u2019

In= Huences on Children Emphasized.| CLOSING SESSION WILL BE HELD THIS EVENING.- Last night's session of the Montreal Interdenominational Missionary insti tute took up the study of missionary work in the Sunday-school.The speakers included the Rev.A.E.Armstrong, who gave an address containing much interesting statistical information: Mr.M.WW.Ehnes, whose conferences have he- come a prominent feature of the institute, and Miss Brooks, who illustrated the methods by which models of various sepis may be effectively used in teaching .| luissionary topics to children, (At the outset Mr.Armstrong showed the great need for increasing interest in Misisons on the part of young people.He regretted to note how littl missionary Lines, (8 and pointed out the defects of a \u2018system which, whilc emphasizing the acts of apostles in 3 bygone days, prac tically \u2018ignored thc[: acts of their spiritual successors of to-day, He laid that the Bible was Rev.A.E.Armstrong.# missionary

present day condi- \u2018tions in heathen lands was even more to be desired.\"Of the fourteen million Sunday-school and the United Blates, only two in five became church \u2018members after leaving the Sunday-school.Of church members in these countries, \u2018nfnéty-two percent joined before the age [of twenty-three, and the majority of hese before eighteen, These figures he \u2018éénsidered to be a significant illustration gf .the great importance of impressing k e of a missionary character.ae with religious ideas, especially .The best definition of a Sunday-school, ŸMr;.Armstrong thought, was \u2018A church stüdying the Bible,\u201d because it embraced both \u201cadults and children.In heathen lands pinety-six percent of the Sunday- schoo] children and seventy-five percent of the children in boarding schools became church members.Such statistics, he said, must prove that there was some- thing wrong in the Sunday-school meth- cds of the Protestant churches on this continent, The speaker referred to the late Dr.Livingstone, who, before he was twenty- one.had decided on mission work: and spoke of Bishop Thoburn and James Chalmers.of New Guinea.whose missionary resolves had dated from youth.The moulding of young character by teachers was treated at rome length, and the speaker showed how children were most casily approached on the social side.A child's interest, he continued, could best be aroused by giving him something to do.Children liked biographies, and the reading of such works proved a splendid source of mental and epintual development.It was only when they were at a plastic and impressionable age that the best lesosns could be learned.It children were saved.the world was saved.Mr.Armstrong spoke of the work ac complished by the meeting of eighty-four delegates at Silver Lake, which took place last summer, and to the resolution which they had adopted, testifying to the lnmeasurable need for active participation in mission work.In closing.he held up the ideal of evangelizing the world in this generation, the responsibility of which he considered to rest largely with the Sunday-school teacher.Mr.M.W.Ehms followed in à conference on missionary methods dealing wah the creation of interest in missions among children and adults, and illustrating Jiis remarks with many examples.An in teresting discussion followed, in whica muny participated.Miss Prooks gave a practical 1liustri tion of how to use models in connection with the teaching of Sunday-schools, so that a more lasting impression igh: Le wade.This clused the evenings

full back.Ballantyne is a strong aad clever kick, but is not at all a clever catch or tackle.Frank Woodworth and \u2018King\u2019 Clancy, of Ottawa, have been suggested as the officials for the match.It is unlikely, however, that the latter will be able to act since he has not been able to follow the new rules at all during the present season.ROUGH RIDERS II.VS.TIGERS IL WILL PLAY FOR INTERMEDIATE CHAMPIONSHIP AT KINGSTON ON SATURDAY.Ottawa, Nov.27.\u2014Rough Riders II, will go to Kingston on Saturday to play the final for the Intermediate championship with Tigers II, of Hamilton.Neither team has this season sustained a defeat.The Tigers secured the western championship by defeating the Argemauts on Saturday last in decielve style.This morning, Manager Chittick, of the Rough Riders, received a telegram from W.B.Hendrie, secretary of the Canadian Union, ordering the game to be played in Kingston.The officials bave not yet been decided on.Rough Riders have been practising faitbfully wince the season closed, and now that snow has come it is likely that Dey's rink will be secured for their uso.Though this will, of necessity, render team practice out of the question, yet it will give the men plenty of opportunity of handling the ball.BASEBALL MANAGER MURRAY PROGRESSING FAVORABLY.Jersey City, Nov.27.\u2014Favorable reports sum was spent on the army and navy.pc come from Clrist Hospital regarding» the POSTE pe | gone ee condition of Manager Wm.Murray, of thls year's Jersey City Club, next year in control of the Philadelphia Nationals.Christ Hospital reported this morning that Mr.Murray was brighter, and apparently better in every way, and that he is resting very comfortably.THE INTERNATIONAL HOCKEY LEAQUE LOOKS WITH CONSTERNATION ON PREFERENCE NF PLAYERS FOR THE EAST.Pittsburg, Nov.27.\u2014Some consternation is\u2019 being caused in the International League br, the fact that many players bave indicated' a preference to gc east tp the Ottawa and Montreal clubs.Some.of the players state that they can do better in the pro- fessicnal ranks there than they can ia the League here,althcugh so far only one club, the Wanderers, is known to have openly offered inducement to professional players.It-iselaimed that Riley Hern, whe has just to the Wanderers, Is under contract with the Houghton (Mich.) Club, and the reason for his desertion is proving a matter for much comment from local hockey men since, it is argued, the Wanderers cannot afford to pay him as high a salary as is being offered here, because, unlike the International clubs, which own thelr own ice, the Wanderers receive only a percentage of the gate taken at the rinks at which they play.Manager A.S.McSwigan, of Duquesne Garden, discussing the matter, said: \u2018I dot like to discuss In advance what we would do until we creme to it.I think I can safely say, however, that any player jumping his contract would pever got a chance to do it again.Nor would he play in any team in any league of which Pitts burg is a member.We carry out our coa- tracts\u2014good or bad\u2014and expect others to do the same.\u2019 McGILL RECRUITS.The McGill Hockey Club will be strength- | ened this season by the inclusion of Car- ruthers, last year's goalkeeper of the Royal Military College.intermediate cham- plons C.I.LH.L., on the same team.THE WANDERER.TORONTO MATCH LOCAL TEAM CANNOT FILL ENGAGEMENT ON NEW YEAR'S EVE.The Wanderers have sent! word to the newly-formed professional team at Toroa- to that they will be unable to play in Toronto on New Year's night, The Ottawa or Morireal Clubs will probably be approached to play an exhibition game to take the place of the fixture given up by the Wanderers.A Toronto despatch stutes that Rolly Young has refused wn offer from Pittsburg, and will stay with Toronto.Bruce Red- path and Tyner have also been approached, but have signified their intention to throw in their lot with Toronto.Chariton is another player that is sought by the International League.HOD STUART FOR WANDERERS.From Pittsburg also comes the news that Hod Stuart, of Pittsburg, will lump that team and Join the Wunderers.A repre- be in Pittsburg trying to get Campbell and Baird.THE GRIERSON COMMITTEE C.AAU.MAY SUPERSEDE ORIGINAL COMMITTEE OF INQUIRY.Toronto, Nov.27.\u2014The committee appointed by the C.A.A.U.to investigate the charges of professionalism made by Mr.Grierson, of Ottawa, againet athletes prominent in football and hockey in that city, as well as Montreal, Cornwall, Smita's Falls, and Quebec, has been instructed by President Stark to postpone action until the board of governors of the C.A.A.U.has had an opportunity to vote upon 4 scheme for the appointment o! a registration committee.President Stark and Secretary Crowe have prepared a scheme in accordance with a resolution adopted at the recent annual meeting of the C.A.A.U.If the board of governors adopts the registration plan, and a majority vote of the eighteen members wiil do it, it wil] supersede the Grierson committee, and do {ts work in what is claimed to be a more effective and at the same time a more simplified manner.All told, 150 or more athletes are among the \u2018suspects,\u2019 and an investigation of their status by a committee would necessarily mean a lot of labor aud iake considerable time.Among the powers of the registration committee are \u2018the right of considering and determining questions that affect the amateur status of any athlete, to act upon any kind of evidence, circumstantial or direct, and may receive affidavits, and ia ity discretion may consider common re- pert suflicient basis for suspension or disqualification, and shall have the power to permanently suspend any amateur athlete who neglects or refuses, within 30 days, to answer questions touching hls amateur siatus to the satisfaction of the committe,\u201d i The registration committee iz to come \u2018into power on Jan.1, 1907.!.The union recognizes the right of such WenNes av, NovEmar- 98 1008 associations to govern themselves and to compete among themselves without registration or sanction of the C.A.A.L.go-called \u2018league games\u2019 o! such Associations to be considered \u2018closed contests.\u2019 That the following be recognized as Æov- erning bodies: Canadiain Association o!

murdered and thet his murderer might have been discovered and arrested if the authorities of Montreal West had been more alert.The evidence showed that while the shooting took place about 11 o'clock at night, no action was thken to\u201d discover the miscreant until 3.30 o'clock the next day.Æven then, \u201cno extra police were employed ae they might have been.In consequence of this neglect, and the late almost unbroken series of outrages in Montreal and suburbs, the jury recommends the institution of provincial mounted police, something after the style, we suppose, of what are called county pokice \u2018in England.But whoever is to do the policing there is no doubt about the fact that mote policemen are necessary, both mounted and foot, especially at night.Already many ladies are afraid to venture out of doors aiier dusk, end are, scared when their male relatives are a little late home froma their occupations.If some energetic action ie not soon taken they will be efraid to walk far even im the daytime.\u2014_\u2014 Although Great Britein has no special anti-trust laws and her politiciarfs have to definite anti-trust platform, trusts do not thrive there.Not so long ago, the tobacco trust had to go out of busi- mess after a short but variegated career, and the more recent soap trust has died almost before it was born.Not a stop of official action was taken against it; it was killed by an indignant public which refused to buy its wares.This is very different from the spirit which bas animated us on this side, where we not only put up with the trusts, but hug protective tariffs, which are the breastworks of all sorts of trusts and | privileges.In the United States the\u2018 laws against trusts increase in vigor and still the trusts continue to flourish and to stifle competition.The chief cause is the steeple-high tariff, which enables a few to become plutcerats and all powerful; the second is that the rage of the people againet the trusts is more abstract in expression than concrete\u2014 nobody refraimrs from buying the things the trusts make and sell, much as they | may theorize against the trusts\u2019 immorality.British opinion is more powerful and more practical and reaches the.vitals of those who would sell it into slavery.\u2019 A plan for the prevention of congested traffic on the most frequented streets hea been laid before the City Council of Boston.Boston was the first of cities to put her street car service underground + service has long been taxed to the utmost.The present plan is to close the more crowded thoroughfares at all times of the working day to automobiles, prevent heavy slow waggons pessing through them during rush hours, and prohibit vehicles standing by the sidewalks and the discharge of goods except in the early morning or late evening.Whether this plan would suit merchants and be acceptable to workingmen is a question.It would involve changes which might be unworkable in practice.This has been considered, and, to get cver the expected difficulties, it has been proposed that from ten o'clock in the ve ve 2.80 2.20 forenoon until six o\u2019clock in the afternoon deliveries of ice, milk, coal and heavy packages be forbidden; the removal of waste, ashes, refuse and empty packing cases only allowed at night.Boston councillors have taken these suggestions into serious consideration.It is certain that something must be dome to reduce the present confusion in.and the frequent blocking of, congested streets.Fhe proposed plan seems reasonable if it can be carried out.BRITISH ASIATICS IN BRITISH COLONIES.The London \u2018Times\u2019 publishes a timely article upon British Asiatics in British colorties, which is worthy of our most careful consideration.The comment is founded on the fact that a deputation of Britigh Indians and their sympathizers waited upon the Colonial Secretary recently to urge him to advise His Majesty to withhold the Royal assent to the recent Transvaal Asiatic Law Amendment Ordinances The Indian residents complain that this Ordinance deprives them of rights which they have hitherto possessed and makes their position worse than it was when Mr.Cham- beriain denounced their treatment under Mr, Kruger.Lord Elgin, the Colonial Secretary and an ex-Viceroy of india, received the deputation with sympathy, but could piomi e little he'p.The Transvaal will enjoy the rights of representative government within a few months and will then have the power to determine the status of British Indians within its territory in accordance with its own views and sentiments.There is little hope that in coming to a decision, South Africa will consider the consequences of its action beyond the jimits of South Africa.Yet such disregard of imperial consequences raises a general problem of a singularly arduous and momentous kind, The attitude taken by the colonies is one that states men who are responsible for the general welfare of, the empire, and all who are intelligent observers ot the general trend of events within the empire, cannot contemplate without deep misgivings.Sir Charles Dilke has said that among the reasons why the British Indians are disliked by their fellow-subjects is their success as competitors, not only in shop keeping but in the practice of medicine and law.The injustice done to our Indian fellow subjects is a present grave injury to.the Empire, and threatens graver consequences in the not distant future.Lord Elgin reminded the deputation that he himsclf had protested against the disabilities imposed upon British Indians as strongly as did Sir Lopel Griffin on behalf of the deputation, and he declared that he withdrew no phrase or word of the despatches in which those protests stand recorded.Lord Lansdowne also has declared that the treatment of British Indians in South Afr.ca in Kruger\u2019s time filled him with indignation, and that treatment the deputation declared was better than that which they are subjected to now under the British flag.Lord Curzon is also on record as deeply sensible both of the injustice inflicted upon British Indians in the colonies and of the evil fruits which it is bearing, and the yet more evil sced wich it is sowing.When he was Colonial Secretary, Mr.Lyttel- ton wrote in a despatch that to impose unnecessary disabilities upon them 1s derogatory to British honor.The l'imes\u2019 comments :\u2014 Upon this evidence the existence of the wrong must be regarded as established.Its ill-effects are manifest to all who have eyes to sce.We have been educating India ir European learning and in European ways of fecling and of thought for long years.We have met in some directions \u2014 not all of tkem the most profitable or desirable directifons\u2014with a great measure of success.We have created a class, which is as vet relatively small in numbers, but which possesses great and growing influ- evce, of highly-cultivated men, upon whom we have been inculcating at school and in colleges the glories of British citizenship.and their privilege to share its rights.Tuat, we have explaived to them, is a part of the return they receive for the submission they make and for the taxes they pay to rulers who are not of their own blood.It is a grave matter to be obliged to unsay, or at any rate to qualify very materially, our own teaching on this head, But it is more politic, as well as more hopest, to make this avowal ourselves than to leave our Indian fellow-subjects to discover that the doctrines which they have heard from professorial and official lips are in fact unreal, That is what they do discover by the proof of a humiliating experience when they go te our own colonies and find that uuder the British flag\u2014the flag we invite them to regard as thelr own \u2014they may stand on the same footing as allen Aslatics.This underground in her busiest region.\u201c PERFOR FIAT Sp WF This discovery, which is actually for- EN mulated in the resolutions adopted by.the British Indians of Johannesburg when the Ordinance was passed, is particularly mischievous, declares the \u2018Times,\u2019 because it comes home to wide eections of the Indian peoples, whom the alleged political grievances, which form the stock in trade of the educated agitator affect not at all.The emigrants who make it m their own persons include large numbers of poor men \u2014pedlers, small traders, shopkeepers and coolics.When these men go back to India each spreads abroad among his own neighbors his account of the treatment he bas met with at the hands of British colonists, without interference or protection from the British raj.\u2018A \u2018more dangerous body of missionaries \u2018of discontent can hardly be imagined, \u2018and they must increase in number and \u201cin influence with the spread of educa- \u2018tion and of travel.This conflict of \u2018rights and of interests is naturally and \u2018 necessarily inflaming passione and pre \u201cjudices in the colonies and im India, \u2018which sap and blast the imperial pa- \u2018triotiem that must bind the empire to- ¢ gether, if the empire is to last.How \u2018is the conflict to be adjusted?How \u2018are the passions to be assuaged?How \u2018is the growing mischief they are doing \u2018to be stayed?\u2019 Here is a problem larger and more vital to the organic growth of the empire than any mere trade question, important as that may Le.At the coming Colonial Conference this question must be discussed, and it is to be trusted that some way may be found to induce white colonials to treat the dark-skinned races fairly.Otherwise, the end of the empire would seem to be almest in sight.A VOYAGE OF CONQUEST.On the strength of Commander Peary\u2019s alleged discoveries during his recent Arctic promenade, the Providence, Rhode Island, \u2018Journal\u2019 claims that, although the islands he visited and the northern part of Greenland, which he traversed, do not amount to much practically \u2018 speaking, such as they are they belong \u2018to the United States by right of dis- \u201c covery, and future cartographers should \u201ccolor their maps accordingly.\u2019 This wouid be an important change, as some4 United States maps have colored that part of Green!and of the same hue as Canada, while others credit the whole island to Denmark.This 4s not a matter for newspapers or map-\u2019 makers to decide with pen and paint brush.Nor is the \u2018Journal\u2019 well-inform- ed in saying that Peary was the first explorer to \u2018follow the northerly coast\u2019 \u2018of Greenland to a point at the north- \u2018 east, where the coast line dips to the \u2018 southward, proving beyond question its\u2019 \u2018insularity.\u2019 Lieutenant Beaumont, of the British Arctic expedition of 1875-76, followed the line of the coast with a sledge party to where the land began to trend southward, thus conclusively establishing the fact that Greenland is an island.This proves, if the \u201cfournal\u2019s\u2019 claim of sovereignty by reason of dis covery be admitted, that the British have a prior right by thirty-one years.Greenland was discovered by Icelanders, about the close of the ninth century.Ii was colonized by Eric the Red, another Icelander, in the years 985-8, and has been an appanage of the Danish crown ever simce.Four centuries afterwards these colonies were destroyed by a plague called the Black Death, but Denmark retained possession and formed other settlements at subscquent periods down to the present time.No explorers who cver visited Greenland ever thought of disputing Denmark\u2019s sovereignty over the whole region.These included Frobisher, Davis, Baffin, Sir John Franklin, Dr.Kane, several Norwegians and, about two years ago, the Italian Duke of Abruzzi.The absurdity of the Peary claim thus appears evident from the facts and the precedents of previous explorers.\u201c Descendinz to particulars, the \u2018Journal\u2019 claims that Teary, \u2018after \u2018his polar dash of last spring, \u2018made a long expedition to the \u201cwestward from Cape Hecla, in \u2018Grant Lend, and discovered an exten- \u2018sive lund reaciing to ninety west longi- \u2018tude.This, Logetner with the northem \u2018 part of Greenland, should be coloced on \u2018all future maps identically with the \u201ctint designating the United States.\u201d This astonishing claim winds up with ihe assertion that \"Great Britain hence- .* ferth cannot monopolize the upper end *of the hemisphere.\u201d There is actually a proposal to plant the Stars and Stripes on Canadian territory, for as: all known territory to the northward has been without question conceded to us, whether mapped or surveyed or not, il is fair to presume that any unknown follows the same rule.This claim, though probably urged half in joke, has a serious side, and might create another cause bf friction Betwedh Canada and the Uñited States, should it be seriously entertained a where politicians are always on the-Jok- out for excuses for aggression on à Dominion.A claim: on any undefinal part of Greeniand could be extended on almost eny pretext.and the Cuban game THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS with Spain played over again with | { { ci DEIN PRS A CEE toa es a LIL yt rca ADR ES Greenland and Denmark.Much as Can- adfans would like to think otherwise, they cannot forget that the United States has consistently and persistently pursued an encroaching policy towards their county.Defeated in attempts to bring British America into the Republic, by cajolery or conquest.successive governs ments at Washinaton have striven by ali means in \u2018their nowcr to strangle these colonies, or at least prevent their progress ant development.This was notoriously the purpose of Seward's acquisition of the Russian coust line, shutting us in on the west.and to get an affee- tionate arm round us would obviously be the purpose of any claims made on Greenland.The same tactics would naturally be repeated in Grant Land and extended to Canadian territory au Hibitum.In the land Peary claims to have discovercd extending from some place off the northern coast of Greenland to ninety west lengitude, the temperature never rises much above zero in summer, and falls to seventy below in winter.Unless a wonderful climatic change takes place, or some no less wonderful discovery is made, by which people can live in the region near the pole, the claim to possession of the region in question can never be anything but sentimental.It is the beginning in Greenland that involves the greater menace to Canada.Unfounded as it is, there are politicians in the Republic who, in their desire to win popular applause, would go to any lengihs.We know how yellow journalism mal dened the nation into insolent Intolerance in the case of the Alaska dispute, and precipitated war with Spain.The same thing night occur again if our aggressive neighbors showd get a foothold on our eastern, like the one they have on our western, flank, or anywhere to the north of us.A WARNING TO CANADIAN GIRLS.{Quebec Chronicle.) Buffalo newspapers have disclosed the existence ol a systematized pau tor hiring Canadian girls tu Amorican cities by attrautive advertisenicuus ans ofiers $1 employment at good wages.Lhe girls sceured are heipiess In the hands of the plotters, and made to live lives ¢f immorality.\u2018Lhe danger of such traffic is abundant warrant for giving the fullest possible publicity to this warning.Occasionally an advertisement for a young lady cf attracave appearance to act us ladys maid or companion is in reality a part of this despicable plot, though it be innocently circulated by newspapers that do not suspect its nature.As a rule the Cars dian newspapers are cautious, and exclude everything that awakens the slight- \u2018est suspicion.But they nay be deceived, and can only warn all girls and parents to bs on their guarl agamst pitfalls.The American newspapers circulating in Canada may alo unintentionally further the work of the plotters.A greater source of danger is in the women of good address and irreproachable appearance who travel through the villages, towns, and small cities of Canada employing girls of good appearance for alleged positions that are represented as honorable and well remunerated.These women meet with considerable success in their nefarious work.The girls employed are met at Niagara Falls or Buffalo, according to appointment, and the people who carry out the plot distribute them to various American cities.A few days ago a Michigan Central Railway detective at Niagara Falls, N.Y., was made suspicious by observing a middle-aged woman who frequently met and introduced herself to young girls arriving from Canada.Each girl seemed to be expeoting some one to meet her at the platform.A little investigation showed that his suspicions were well founded, although he vould not obtain any evidence that would warrant proseeution.The woman appear ed frequently at train time and always seemed to have an appomtment with a young girl.The detective felt warrant ed in ordering the woman to decamp, which she did without argument or protest, and thus one of her intended victims was returned to her parents.Sufficient has been disclosed to warrant the strongest and most earnest warnings against offers to young girls of employment in American cities.All such should be regarde) with suspicion, and none shculd be accepted w thout consultation with well-informed friends capable of making needed investigations.There is also a need of co-operation on the part of the police authorities on both sides of the line.It is at the international boundary that this traffic can be most effectively interespted.Intelligent co-operation should land a few of the operators.in prison .and thus effectually discourage all other plotters.It is now easy for them to cross the line when they find the meshes of the law tightening upon them on either side.Personal vigilance on the pant of those who may be selected as victims and active co-operation by the police authorities on both sides of the boundary should stamp out this nefarious traffic.UNIVERSITY BARS TOBACCO NEBRASKA SCHOOL A YEAR AGO BROKE UP SMOKING, AND NOW CHEWING

but it is admitted that people who \u2018know how\u2019 can get business done through regular New York Stock Exchange houses ut one-sixteenth of one percent on the low-priced issues, and that some of the curb houses will buy the stock and clear them for 1-32.It is further stated that the stock exchange houses hire their curb men on a regular salary, paying them from 225 to 850 per week, while a man without much experience may be had as low ss $10.Those maninulating stocks on the curb do not have to pay a commission on each share bought or sold, Lut can have the job done by the week, although there are a number of houses witich pay their curb brokers two dollars per hundred dollars.et FAREWELL TO MR.KLECZKOWSKI A large number of friends of Mr.Kleczkowski, recently consul-general of Trance in Montreal, assembled at the Bonaventure station last evening, to Lid kum farewell on his departure from Montreal.As the train moved out, the departing consul saluted his friends from the rear platform of the Pullman car.Among those present were Mr.de Styuve, consul of Ruasia;
