That was the feature that caused the chief wonder, if not the greatest envy.Women came from miles round to beg the favor of a look at it, and the crinoline\u2019s levées on market days taxed the capacity of à spa- ;eious drawing-room.But the crinoline\u2019s \u2018forerunner was of a date centuries older, and Shakespeare speaks of the farthing- \u2018ale, \u2018And revel it as bravely as the best .With rufts, and cuffs, ahd farthingales and things.\u2019 à .Again we read of the introduction in 1711 of \u2018that startling novelty, the hoop petticoat.\u2019 At first the hoops, as they were commonly and rightly named, were of whalebone attached to tapes extending from the waist to the heels;

contr: often too sharply with\u2019 the religion of meditation, but pre-eminéntly, in spite of its occasional over-emphasis on \u2018action, the religion which the modern world needs and which can do the most for the redemption of the modern world.It stands for that broad conception of life into which the young man of to-day 1s born.It demands the health of the body as well as the Degith of the spirit, sanity in out-of-door Lj as well as integrity in social and business life.\u2018The gymnasium and the out-of-door sports are a part of, not apart from, its fundamental religious work.It makes the young man at hone in the world by «ecognizing the fact that he has a right to hve a vigorous physical life, and that the demanda of bis physique for exercises \u2018apd play aie quite as important in their emands of his time and place as the Spirit fpr etercisé and work.;

president, Mrs.Gilmour occupied the ehair in her us ual happy manner.The treasurer, Mies Cramp, read extracts from the beautiful life of Madame Feller.Mrs.Bentley read racy letters from Miss Piché,

with a fascinating and instructive talk.The treasurers report was satisfactory, and demonstrated the pleasing fact that, as the needs of the work arose, the funds were forthcoming to meet them.It is hoped that the friends of this noble cause will continue, and if possible, increase their liberality during the coming year, remembering that \u2018There is that scattereth and yet increaseth, and

Witness, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 6, 1904.JAPAN AND RUSSIA.If there is war between Russia and Japan, it will be Russia that will be the aggressor, and Japan that will have the sympathy of the world.Japah in 1895 found herself in possession of Manchuria, and was proposing to establsh\u201d herself at Port Arthur.Her dream was to take in hand the modernization of China, and we believe the service she would have rendered to humanity by what she could have done in that way would have been great.Against this there was the Kaiser's nightmare of the yellow peril\u2014one which such great British so}- diers as Lord Wolseley looked upon as serious\u2014namely, the fear that an enormous power might develop in the east which would overrun Europe.But-far more practical was the opposition of Rus sia, which, disappointed in Vladivostok as a Pacific port, had fixed her hopes upon Port Arthur.Vladivostok had two objections to it as a railway terminus.It was not upon the ocean, but upon the Sea of Japan, commanded in some measure by that power, and it was frozen in in winter.Sc Russia stepped in and took the fruits of Japan\u2019s signal victories out of her hands.Russia declared that she wes not going to take possession herself, but was insisting on the integrity of China.All she wanted for this her beneficent guardianship was leave to run her railway to an open sea.Nobody on earth believed this promise, unless perhaps the old woman who rules China, who was probably encouraged in that belief by subsidized friends of Russia at her court.This has been Rus sia\u2019s method everywhere.Russia also repeatedly promised all the nations to maintain in Manchuria, what had been demanded of Japan, the principle of the open door.Her promises to evacute have been as incessant as those of the shoemaker who, in spite of your adjurations not to lie to you, insists on promising your shoes the next day for six weeks\u2019 running.All Russian authorities and diplomatists joined insistently in these two lies at the very time when her police were dismissing from Port Arthur the agents of British and United States commercial concerns.Russia was, however, disappointed in Port Arthur and retired upon what seemed a more promising position at Niu- chwang, at the mouth of the Liao, where she spent immense sums in developing the artificial harbor of Dalny, only to be once more disappointed.Dalony, which bad never known anything but perpetually open water, now that her breakwaters are built, making a quiet basin, reposed behind a mile of ice.Manchuria, in fact, offers no winter port for the railway, and Russia must seek this in Corea.Her hopes were next fixed upon an unknown place called Yongampho, on the Corean side of the mouth of the Yalu, and it is thought a first-class open seaport and terminus can be made there.Corea, however, had been the cause of the Japanese war with China.Both powers had for centuries claimed suzerainty over that peninsula, and that question had come up for eettlement.Japan needed Coren as a field for the expansion of her overflowing population and energies, and, amid all the pulling end hauling that followed her victory over China, she suc- cessfully insisted on her claims upou E MONTREAL DAILY WIENESS.Corea a» 8 whole, The way matters stood after that settlement was that nobody questioned Japan's precedence of right in Corea while everybody denied Ruesia\u2019s right in Manchuria; Russia herself denied it, promising to get out.Yet Russia\u2019 is now seized more powerfully and irrevocably than ever of Manchuria, and refuses even to discuss that matter with Japan, while the only ques tion which wes formerly counted set tled, nambly, Japan\u2019s dominance m Cor- ea, is the only one which Russia now treats as open.She is demanding a so- called neutral zone in Corea, which means a slice of it for hergelf, with the full intention of closing the porte which the world demands shall be open.All must sympathize with Russia's desire to get her railway to an open sea.Even the United States believes that where you want a great commercial thoroughfare from a weak and stupid power it is your duty to take it.Such is what President Roosevelt's reasoning amounts to.But Japan is not a weak and stupid power, and it will be hard even for France to see that Russia hae the right side of this quarrel.reenter THE PAN-AMERICANS.A railway from Hudeon\u2019s Bay to the Straits of Magellan via Eldorado was always an easy and natural flight of the imagination.It has no doubt occurred to every schoolboy before the age of fourteen.Such flights irdeed are ever easiest with those who know least of the practical issues involved.Possibly the meaning of that oft-quoted but hazy phrase, the thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts, is that the horizons of youthful imaginings are unbounded.So it is that when we hear of a Pan-Ameri- can company bejng chartered, it is at Guthrie, the capital of Oklahoma.Guthrie is on the prairies, and cannot see the Cordilleras or any other obstacles.It is nothing to Guthrie that all commercial trunk lines have hitherto run east and west, and that all north and south ones have become subsidiary to these.It can only see that the two continents, with their connecting isthmus, run north and south, thus pointing out that direc- Lion as the natural route for a main highway.It is often true, however, that the greatest truths are revealed first to babes.So who knows but that the aspirations of Guthrie to become the hub of the universe may be born of a true as well as a great inspiration?Indeed, it is remembered how Edward Everett Hale, the prophet of Boston, who has reached that meHow sunset of life in which coming events \u2018cast their Shadows before, when prophecying for the new century, set forth this bond of union, as one of Humanity\u2019s first and most pressing duties to Humanity.And why Dot, as much as the Cape to Cairo design of Cecil Rhodes, whose object was not commercial but the redemption of a continent?Or is it that Guthrie desires to set up shop as the successor of Trenton, in New Jersey, as the chief seat of elastic charter-mongering, and wants to advertise itself with a grand opening exhibition?The Pan-American Railway is projected to extend from Port Nelson, on Hudson's Bay, or the \u2018Canadian Sea,\u2019 as some change-loving person proposes to name that vast hyperborean water, and jo run via Winnipeg through the States of North and South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Indian Territory and Texas; thence through Mexico, Central America, Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia, into Argentina.A branch line is also projected from Peru, through Chili to Valparaiso.The length of the whole line, with its trans-Andean fork, is estimated at about ten thousand miles, and the cost, modestly, at two hundred and fifty million dollars.It is said that nearly one-third of these formidable distances is already covered by existing railways in Capada, the United States, Mexico and the several republics of Central and South America.The idea attributed to the promoters is to begin oy filling up the gaps, first within the United States, then in Canada and the southern republies.For this scheme they will have to obtain many charters in addition to the one granted them by Oklahoma.There is, of course, no obstacle to the project that cannot be overcome by adequate means, and further sections of it would no doubt pay as con tributors to east and west traffic.Not long ago a railway authority was quoted as paying, with reference to exclusive Canadian jurisdiction over Hudson\u2019s Bay, that there were good practical reasons for the belief that a great part of the grain transport of the Western States and Canadian territories would eventually be via Hudson\u2019s Bay to Europe.Although the season of navigation was brief in the bay, it would pay to put high-power steamships into the trade, on account of the short ocean voyage, which would mean a big reduction in the cost of carriage as well as in runnidg expenses.There is no doubt such a Pan- American connection as the Guthrie syndicate\u2019 proposes must be developed gome ; interesting day, and it is probably none too soon to set about systematizing it by the promotion of missing links where these are feasible in themselves.\" rtf TEMPERANCE AND LONGEVITY.The comparative mortality of abstainers and non-abstainers as affecting life assurance formed the theme of a paper end discussion at the inaugural meeting of the British Institute of Actuaries for its winter session.Several British insurance companies have systematically made a feature of insuring the lives of abstainers in a special class by themselves.The oldest and best-known is the United Kingdom Temperance and General Provident Institution, established in 1840, when the general opinion was that it was prejudicial to health rather than the reverse to abstain from alcoholic beverages.Mr.R.M.Moore, actuary to the United Kingdom & Temperance Office, who read the paper, showed how the experience of this life office has exploded such a theory.The abstainers\u2019 section has always shown a superiority in vitality to the general sec-, periority of \u2018abstaining\u2019 lives as regar - tion of the company\u2019s business.The rates of premium charged for participating policies are the same in both sections, but abstainers have received at each division of profits larger bonuses ag the result of a more favorable incidence of mortality.At the last quin- quennial distribution in 1901, the bonuses declared in the \u2018temperance\u2019 section were at the compound rate of two pounds percent per annum, on sums assured and previons bonuses, as compared with £1 14s.percent in the general section.The Sceptre Life Association wes found: ed in 1884, and has pursued a very similar policy with very similar results.The last bonuses declared by this office were at the rates (not compound) percent per annum of £1 13s.in the temperance, and £1 7s.6d.in the general section.The Scottish Temperance Assurance Company, which was cstablished twenty years ago, allows its abstaining policyholders a reduction of ten percent in premium, and its experience has justified this concession.There are not a few other life assurance companies which give advantages to abstatifig policyholders, either in increased bonuses or reduced premiums, and the results are said to be on all fours with those of the companies specifically mentioned.Mr.Moore gave the Institute some information regarding the history and practice of his company in dealing with its two classes of as- surants.At \u2018irst, the membership was restricted to total abstainers, but 1849 non.-\u2018\u201cstainers were admitted, and in 1851, the present title of Temperance & General was adopted as well as the present scales of premiums.The temperance section has never been favored with a view to securing more favorable mortality results, either by the admission of unexceptionable lives in the first place, or by the removal or transfer of inferior or doubtful lives; while the average amount insured in both sections is very similar, the amount of policy in both sections being between a thousand and fifteen hundred dollars, so that there is no important difference in financial circumstances of the two classes of as- surants, the membership in both cases being from classes who can only afford to pay comparatively small sums in premiums, that js to say, the better clase of artisans, clerks and small professional men.After a scientific investigation, technical and thorough, Mr.Moore arrives at the two main conclusions (1) that the non-abstainers assured in his office are good average lives, their vitality not being below that indicated in the Institute\u2019's Hm table, now generally used as a standard for life office valuations, and (2) that the abstainers show a marked superiority to the non-abatainers throughout the entire working years of life.Thus, at the age of thirty, when a man\u2019s constitution and habits of life are usually settled, a policy-holder jn the general section of the Temperance & General, according to Mr.Moore's calculations, may look forward to 35.1 vears of life, whereas a \u2018temperance\u2019 policy-holder has an \u2018expectancy\u2019 of 38.8 years.At the age of forty, the \u2018expectancy\u2019 is 27.4 years in the \u2018general\u2019 and 30.3 in the \u2018temperance\u2019 class, the superiority of expectation in the \u2018temperance\u2019 division exceeding ten percent in both the examples cited.In the discussion which followed Mr.Moore\u2019s paper the opinion was general that he had fairly presented his case and that his deductions were correct.It was pointed out, however, that a life office whose clients are far from affluent occupies a somewhat special position in this matter.In England, at least, there is no doubt that the practice of tolal abstinence is more common among those who are comparatively poor than among the well to do, and where the exercise of total abetinence is due to economic motives, it shows a strength of character that is likely to be exercised in the general care of the health.It is suggested that a comparison would be most useful which would in WapwEspar, January 6, 1904.show the mortality of the offices\u2019 whi do not discriminate between non-absti.r ing and abstaining policy-holders that of the temperance divis of the discriminating compan.It would have to be considered, bowus.thet in the non-discriminating compar the majority of the policy}.ers are held to be in a better p tion to fight against disease owing more wealthy circumstances.An fluential section of the insurance wor.is now of opinion that what has bei, proved to be true of one class of - community will be true of another.: is to say, that in any life office \u2018ubsta.r ing\u2019 lives would prove better from rn .- surance point of view than \u2018non-abst n ing\u2019 lives.Actuarial opinion upon ¢: « point is not unanimous, however, par + for the reason perhaps that a \u2018temp: ance\u2019 section would be difficult to esta.lish where the clients of a company «0 comparatively rich and where the st: ly temperate members would proba: object to the preferential treatmen: .\u2018 abstainere.Mr.Moore's paper, ls ever, besides its actual proof of ile - his own company, emphasized the Lce- sity of careful enquiries as to every | poser\u2019s personal habits regarding tie of alcohol, and it proved very cieai : that \u201cabstainers are very desiable © \u2018 tomers for any life office, and that ti, .- \u2018 custom 1s worthy of solicitation.\u2019 HOME THE NATION'S PULSE _\u2014 MISS GREENWOOD TALKS PLAINLY ON VITAL QUESTION: \u2018The greatest cnemy of the Lowe + tbe uquur trae.\u2018he vrgauieeu rum trafic is the greus-

HERMAN ABRAMOVITZ.At the last Sabbath morning service in the Epaaleh \u201cand Portuguese Synagogue, Rabbi Herman Abramovitz, of the MoGill College Avenue Synagogue, was invited to preach the sermon.He took for his text Gen.r., 20, \u2018Ye thought It for evil against me but God thought it for good.\u201d Hs pointed out how in the life of the individual what at first may appear to be avils later turn out to bave been blessings In isguise.This also le true in the life of & gation or the history of a religion.Es- peclaily has this been the case in the history of Judaism when every period of gloom but served to impart greater vital force to one or other of {ts spiritual ideals.What were regarded as Judalem's greatest trials proved to be its greatest triumphs.To such periods of stress Judaism owes those elements most characteristic of it, and which constitute its towers of strength.To them we owe the Jow's strong faith in his priestly mission; the Pharisaic spirit which when understood was truly noble, for it applied religion to life, making both terms synonymous.To one such period is due the Talmud which amplified and vitalized the Jew- fsh law, and in another such period we aan trace, the beginnings of the science of Hebrew grammar and Jewish philosophy.When the destruction of the Jew and Judaism seemed most imminent, even then the religion developed greater strength and the dew attained more st#bility.The past teaches the lesson of hope for the present, which may also' be regarded A8 a period of stress in Judaism.In our \u201ctime some men doubted whether Judaism still had a message for the world or whether it was merely a memory.Others bave given way to idle esse and comfort, and Bave discarded these elemients in their re- liglon which require sacrifice and self-ab- negation on thelr part; and still others have thought that they can strike out Tal- mudigm, that they suppress centuries of religious development, that they can thus wholly break with the past and yet maintain their existence in the future.But even this period of doubt and uncertainty 1s showing signs ¢f coming to an end and of giving rise to higher good.A tendency is alheady manifested in religlous thought to return to old standards, and the centre of Jewish learning which is gradually be- Ing moved to America will be an influence ia the same direction.A WESTERN SPECIAL NUMBER.Nanaimo, B.C, is a flourishing town of six thousand inhabitants, noted es- i for its coal.It \u2018vas in the summer of 1851 that an Indian digging clams on the beach, in front of what is now the centre of the ci , broke off & chunk of \u2018black rock,\u2019 and discovered that it would burn.e took a basket full of the black stuff to the Hudson's Bay store at Victoria, and the white men lost no time in following up {he scovery.The holiday number of the Nanaimo \u2018Herald\u2019 gives an aceount of the devel opment of the coal trade and other resources, and interesting information re- rding the fishing and hunting and e climate.\u2018Usually the people of Nanaimo regard themselves as fortunate if the winter brings enough frost to provide skating on any of the small lakes in the outskirts of the city, or snow that remains long enough to afford the luxery of a sleigh\u2019ride.Picbures of the principal buildings and men of note in the city are shown.Epi- soder in Canadian history with cuts of leading men ocoupy four pages.The number contains several stories, pictures, ete, and is got up very attractively.ARE NOT ALIENS.Washington, Jan.5\u2014In the o inion by Chief Justice Fuller, the Supreme Court of the United States y day decided that citizens of Porto Rico are not aliens of the United States, and that they are entitled to enter.this country without obstruction.The opinion was delivered in the case of the Porto » woman Gonzales, who, in 1002, was refused admissior to the port of New York on the ground that she was likely me a public charge.The decision was based entirely on the immigration act of 1892, and took the ground that the Porto Ricans owe alle gianee to the United States and to no other government.ctl COMPLIMENT TO CANADIANS.Toronto, Jan.5.\u2014A firm of former Toronto architects Messrs.Knox and Elliott, have juet been selected, in compe tition with leading American architects, to furnish plans for and direct the con- siruction of à one-million-dollar offica building, to be erected in Cleveland the Rockefeller interests, essrs.Knox and Elliott were former partners of Mr.Beaumont Jarvis, of this city.i in Toronto they erected a Confederation Jot Dullding, the Harbord Street Col- ns and other la strue- tures here.ree DOCTOR'S SUDDEN DEATH.Hespeler,@nt., Jan.5.\u2014Dr.R.MeIn- tyre, Hewpdlet's oldest medical man.dropped ead yesterday afternoon at eer Advertisements.litching Skin Distress by day and might\u2014 That's the eomplaint of those who aré so unfortunate as to be afflicted with Eczema or Salt Rhedm\u2014and outward applications do not cure.They can\u2019t, The source of the trouble is in the blood-\u2014make that\u201d pure and this scaling, burning, étcbing skin disease will disappear.apparel are made delightfull tothe directions on the pac used in the ordinary way soaps in a marked manner.senlight Sos Sunlight .ASK FOR THE Sunlight Soap washes the clothes ç 228 St.James Stroot.Dainty shirtwaists and ali the nicer and mgre delicate articles of feminine clean and fresh with Suiilight Soap when used accord In that way the best results are obtained;

yesterday in the fife department in vestigation of the Iroquois horror, Joseph Dougherty, who had abarge of the curtain, swore that two weeks ago, during a matinee performance, there was a fire on the etage, and that when he attempt ed to lower the asbestos curtain it was stopped by the same obstruction that prevented its operation last Wednesday.the fatal afternoon.The curtain manager declares that he protested at that time, but that no attention was paid to his warnings.In bis opinion, if the curtain had run down during the fatal matinee, the lives of many, if not all, the victims of the dis aster, might have been saved.It was only by the merest chance that a pan was averted as a result of the first fire, The skylight at that time, he said, was securely closed.FIRST DAMAGE SUIT.The

question.The Oxford Temperance Association has also called a mas meeting for the same purpose.Street tallk names various winners of the vacant seat, but the view more general- lv expressed is that Mr.George Smith, M.A.will be the choice.Others again say that Mr.D.R.Ross has a good fighting chance, while not a few have selected Col.Munroe or Mr.John Whyte, the mayor.The announcement was made from Woodstock, Ont., on Monday that Mr.E W.Nesbitt would be a candidate for the North Oxford vacancy.Mr.Nesbitt bas practically decided to be one of the seekers after the seat as a supporter of the Ross Government.Mr.\" Nesbitt, who is a brother of Mr.Justice Nesbitt, has always been of independent leanin 8, and \"has been a frequent critic of the Ross Government.There was a sitting of the

theatres and decide what alterations are necessary to make the construction of the houses conform to the law.Of course, the owners of the theatres will do nothing until they know just exactly what the

cannot conform to the ordinances unless they are entirely rebuilt, and they may find it too expensive to make the changes.I do not believe over thirty-five percent of them will ever open in, anynow.\u2019 MORE ARRESTS.Late yesterday afternoon \u2018the attorneys of the fire department caused the arrest of four employees of the Fuller Construction Company, David Jones, a masonry foreman,.and Angus McKay, Otto Rausch, and John Kingston, iron workers.It had been charged that Jones and bis men broke the skylights on tbe theatre after the fire in order to destroy possible evidence.It developed, afier the arrest of Jomes and his men, that the skylights were blocked by scantlings and tied with wire to prevent ir opening, and that neither of them had been opened since the theatre was built.Jones, in making his statement to the Fire Department, said :\u2014\u2018I took the threz iron workers with me up through an adjoining building and out upon the theatre roof, over the stage.Firet, 1 removed the wooden scantlings which blocked the skylights.Then I found the lights tied with wire inside and broke two panes of glass to get at the wires to untie them.I finally got the wires off and opened the lights.\u2019 Jones was asked why he went to the roof of the theatre, and replied that he had been told that the north wall had been cracked in the fire, and went to see if it was true.He declared he had loosened the skylights because he feared they might fall through and injure some- \u2018body on the stage.\u2018Why did you take three ironwarkers with you to inspect a brick wall?asked Mr.Fulkerson, attorney, of the Fire Department.Jones was confused, but &n- ally answered that the men went with him through curiosity.He admitted that the ironworkers helped him open the skylights, and worked with him about the roof for balf an hour.Although he said he went to the theatre of his own accord, and without or- Advertisements.Hair Vigor me Did you know it always

men carried and made use of a crowbar and a hammer.Numerous witnesses who were in adjoining buildings overlooking the theatre testified that the skylights were not open during the fire.PROBLEM FOR THE COURTS.As a result of the Iroquois Theatre disaster, in which whole families perished and lines of legal descent were made so complicated as almost to defy tracing.the Probate Court faces a season of intricate litigation.The question of priority of death of the fire victims is the issue on which many of the estates may be hung up.in the courts for months and years before they can be distributed.Probate Judge Cutting says that he anticipates that in hundreds of estates this issue will have to be determined before the estate can be adjudicated.\u2014\u2014\u2014 BISHOP'S COLLEGE

establishment of an agricultural collage of a faculty of agriculture at Lennoxville, where the college has a farm.The college is to be on\u2019the lines of Guelph, and to he something more than the ordinary agricultural school.The Hon.Mr.Turgeon, after listening to the arguments present: ed on the subject, said that he would lace the matter before the government or consideration.etl ZINC WHITE NEW METHOD OF MAKING IT FROM SLAG.London, Jan.5.\u2014Prof.Ellershausen, a rman, has invented a method of extracting zinc white from refuse slag.He and Prof.Sir Wililam Ramsay success fully

roundabout production from épelter.Great Britain imports about 200,000 tons of zinc white annually from the United States, Germany and Belgium, because fitable.It is now apparent that millions of tons of mine refuse that has hitherto been regarded as useless can be turned to account.Prof.Ramsay, after the experiments, said he could not see why 3 new era of prosperiay should not dawn on Wales.t is noteworthy that in the course of the process cadmium is extract: ed, which is serviceable in procuring radium, as well as in photography.\u2014_.THE FORT QU'APPELLE FIRE.Fort Qu'Appelle, N.W.T., Jan.6.\u2014 The Indian industrial school near here was totally destroyed by fire on Monday.The blaze started about 12.30 o'clock in a room where the lamps were stored and got beyond control within a few minutes.There were over two hundred Indian boys and girls at the school, and it is creditable to the staff that not one was injured in any way.Father Hugonaut, the prineipal, and Mr.S.Warden, his assistant, lost all their personal effects.All the main buildings and wings are destroyed and it is estimated that the loss will be over $40,000.The children are being taken care of at the Roman Catholic Mission and by neighbors.Several sick children were in the hospital ward, and were saved after some ditti- culty.The school was the largest in the Territories and situated in a pretty spot in tha Qu\u2019Appelle Valley, near the lake, and bas always been a tavorite place for visitors.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 GOOD LUMBER SEASON.Toronto, Jan.6.\u2014~Mr.Charles McCool, M.P., Nipissing, was

TREATY-MAKING POWER Sir Wilfrid Laurier Enlarges on His Demands, ifn an Interview WILL BE SUBJECT TO ROYAL VETO\u2014NOTHING NEW IN IT.\u2014 \u2018The text of Mr.H.W.Lucy's interview with Sir Wilfrid Laurier, publieh- ed .in the London \u2018Daily Mail\u2019 on Dec.22, is as foilows:\u2014 .Ottawa, Dec.9.\u2014Talking at Washington to an eminent member of the American section of the Court of Eu quiry on the Alaskan question, he said: \u2018Uanada has for many years been play- ; esysememeperenmmennnennnnnn ing off England against the United States, America against Great Britain She has in nearly every case got some- thi out of the game.\u201che decision of the court at London was an unaccustomed though, in face of the evidence, it 18 hard to think an unexpect ed, rebuff.She is very angry just now, but it will pass over.She will become accustomed to the new boundary line in Alaska, and will look up some other little affair whereby she can set the United States and Englahd by the ears and squeeze something out of one or, the other.\u2019 .That is all very well for the United States, who, having got practicälly ali it asked for, something more than it dared to hope, can discuss the situation in jocund mood.lt is very different with Canada.Conversing with various classes of people, from the Premier to the sleigh driver, I find a feeling of bitter resentment at th \u2018issue of the enayiry over which Lord Alverstone presided.As Sir Wilfrid Laurier, in an exceedingly frank conversation with which he favored me to-day, says, the affront to Canadian feeling began before the enquiry opened.fi was at the instance of England that Canada went into court.She consented to the enquiry on the ground that it should be conducted by jurists of high reputation, free from partisan prejudice.Sir Wilfrid does not mince mattera in characterizing the gentlemen appointed by the United States.They were, he says, partisans of pronounced type, entering upon a #o-called enquiry with their minds made up on the issue upon which they were summoned to judge.As soon as they were nominated the Canadian Prime Minister, on behalf of the colony.entered a protest, which, he complains, received scant consideration at the Colonial Office.The Canadians were, nevertheless, so certain of the justice of their case, so trustful of the sagacity and impartiality of the Lord Chief Justice of England, that having lodged their protest, thev consented to the cage going forward.Of the three leading points at issue they were confident of having judgment given in their favor upon two.On one they da not believe there was any.possibility of the United States winning the day.Their when Lord Alverstone gave all three claims to the adversary was equalled only by their amazement.\u2018Are the Canadians getting over their disappointment?I asked Sir Wilfrid.\u2018Certainly not\u2019 he answered, \u2018and never will.The Dominion is unanimous in demanding that- repetition of the Alaskan boundary incident shall be rendered impossible by having \u2018ceded to Canada the right of making her own treaties with foreign powers.\u2019 I ventured to point out \u2018that the obvious fact that such condition of affairs is inconsistent with colonial status, and implies separation.Denying this, Sir Wilfrid explained in detail what wag in his mind when, shortly after the promulgation of the judgment in the Alaskan boundary case, he fluttered diplomatic dovecots by insisting on this new departure.He is careful to point out that it is not absolute power of treaty-making that the Dominien demands.Treaties will still be subject to the veto of the sovereign, and if such veto be decreed, there will be an end of the matter.But Canada, he insists, must be per- miitted to arrange the preliminaries of all treaties affecting her trade and territory, leaving to the Sovereign the responsibility of vetoing the proposed arrangement, should he, acting on tle advice of his ministers, think it desirable in the interests of the Empire.Had Canada possessed such power prior to the constitution of the court on the Alaskan boundary, the enquiry would never have taken place with the collaboration of the three gentlemen who pleaded the cause of the United States before Lord Alverstone.Sir Wilfrid is aware of the impression his demand for treaty-making powers created in some quarters.It has been cited as demonstrating the baselessneas of Mr.Chamberlain's dream of Great Britain purchasing by preferential tariff the inviolable loyalty of her colonies.\u2018Behold,\u2019 it is eaid, \u2018how, at the (rst rebuff, Canada goes into sulks, and declares that she must forthwith have conceded to her a privilege absolutely incompatible with the relations existing between Mother Country and colony.Sir Wilfrid points out that there ie nothing new in his demand.It js merely the resuscitation of an old-ery.Twenty-one years ago, when Mr.Blake, now representing an Irish constituency at Westminster.was leader of the Liberal partv in the Dominion Parliament, he moved a resolution embodving the demand made by Sir Wilfrid when news reached Canada that all had been lost in the court sitting in London.\u2018Nothing came of it then\u2019 I observed.\u2018But something will come of it now.\u2019 Sir Wilfrid positively affirmed.\u2018Con- ada is mightier.more populous by far than she was in 1882.There are today nearly six millions of people, who believe with passionate conviction that they have the right to determine the course of matters relating.to their com- | merce and their houndaries.More- i over, we have convincing proof that prices, resulting in the publics advantage.\u2018 1 tally bostile to Canadizn interests.In the existing system is persistently

States, Canada suffered more than did America by the depredations of the \u2018Alabama\u2019.Our government of that day besought the Imperial Government to insert in the Washington treaty a olause that would have brought the Canadian claims under purview of the court.England, afraid of offending the United States, turned a deaf ear to the plea, leaving her col onies in the lurch.Much the same thing has happened in respect of the boundary of Alaska.As I -have said.had we had the power to arrange the reliminaries of enquiry with the United tates, we should at once have put our foot down in protost against the appointment of three partisans to serve in the capacity of jurists, and the result of the enquiry would have been very different.\u2019 Sir Wilfrid tells me the interest excited in both hemispheres by his reference to the necessity of endowing Canada with treaty-making powers has been so great that he will take an opportunity in the course of the next few weeks of enlarging on the subject, mare specifically indicating a demand that has been acclaimed throughout the colony.Meanwhile, this summary of his views on a subject that involves grave possibilities may serve.TO BE

observations of the Pope are highly interesting with regard to history repeating itself.In 1563, acting upon a resolution of the Council of Trent, Pope Pius IV.appointed a commission of eight cardinals to inquire into the irregularities and frivolities which had crept into the music of the Church of Rome.The composer Palestrina was called to the rescue of church music.He wrote a series of three masses, sent them, without titles, to the Cardinal Borromeo; they were performed with the greatest of care in the house of Cardinal Vitellozzi on April 28, 1566, and the third mass\u2014afterwards known as the Missa Papae Marcelli\u2014was ordered to serve as the model for future Roman Church music, and the post of composer to the pontifical choir was created for Palestrina by the enraptured Pontiff.Perchance, in the present contingency, another Palestrina may arise to vindicate and uphold the dignity of the musie of his church.PERCIVAL J.ILLSLEY, Montreal, Jan.2, 1804,

perhaps be worth while to remind the London \u2018Times\u2019 that on Oct.19, 1894, it proclaimed: \u2018In plain words, if Canada is not only to keep her place with the trading countries of the world, but improve on her former position, and make the Mc- Kinley Act a benefit to her and not a loss, her most likely method is to take e ple and -ncouragement from the Mother Country, and adopt frankly and fully the policy of free trade.\u201cLiterae scriptae manent\u2019 It is urged that \u2018Times\u2019 have changed, since free trade was resolved upon in Englana, and the foregoing is a
