[" Reste Canndian Glexuer 7 Huxzrmcnox, Q., May 19, 1904.NOTES OF THE WEEK \u2014\u2014 The Grand Trunk Pacific continues 3 to be the topic at Ottawa.The opposition have suggested a number of amendments, all having the object of securing better terms for the people, but the government is bound to leave the whip-handie of the contract with the company, - By agree ment the final stage takes place today, when the house will take a short vacation until the 25th.On resuming it is expected Mr Fielding will be ready with his budget.Lord Dundonald\u2019s report on the reorganization of the militia is attracting notice from the unconventional form in which he expresses himself.He wants a militia force 100,000 strong, only a part of whom will be required to attend camp, the remainder to practice at rifle-ranges and drill half a dozen times in the yearin plain clothing.He wants officers to be educated in their duties 2 and to qualify by service for promo- : tion, with provision for a nucleus of trained men to organize.He wants the U.S.system of armoriesestablish- ed, one for every 150 men, to be the centre of instruction and of social life, with a supply of books and instructional placards,pictures, models, ete.In this room the officers will encourage their men to meet, will lecture to them, will discuss matters with them, and will be able to impart a great amount of information.Lord Dundonald has taken the measure of the average Canadian officer, and will have none of him.He wants instead of well-dressed loafers who put on the airs of the King\u2019s guards \u201cthe natural leaders of the people\u2014those who should lead and direct the people in the day of trouble\u2014and they are the busiest men, and it is undeniable that the \"busiest men make the best officers.\u201d He changes the drill, substituting a simple system, and does away with much formality and red tape.All this is ingenious and interesting, but the question remains, What is the use of it?Does Lord Dundonald really think that 100,000 militia men could guard a frontier of 4,000 miles long against eighty millions of people ?Business is so well advanced at Quebec that the assembly will clear the order-paper by Saturday.It may be that the council may require a day or two next week to finish.Of late the tone of the debates has been unusually personal, not to say rude.- In a brief debate in the legislature over the Cooke episode it was amusing to note how the lawyers assumed that crown prosecutors were men of high tone and discharged their duties with exemplary self-denial.Of course no crown prosecutor ever got trivial offences magnified to bring them before a grand jury, nor pled with a prisoner to withdraw his plea of \u201c guiltg, much less made a private arrangement to drop an indictment or threaten one to extort blackmail.The administration of justice is pure in this province and there are no crown prosecutors who work their appointment for all it is worth.There are six distinct classes of tradesmen on strike in Montreal.The cause of the bookbinders\u2019 strike Lis an exceedingly mean one\u2014to exclude women.Investigation into the failure of one of the credit companies would indicate it had over ten thousand customers, who paid inabout $400, 000, There are three more of these companies to hear from.The .U.8.supreme court has upheld the action of the immigration bureau in refusing to allow an smarchist to land.This ruling, what- evermay be thought of it ia connection with the claim that the United \u2018States is a land of free speech, ought to shut out a lot of undesirable people.Of the war little can be said, for both sides are most watchful in pre venting all tidings of their move xitents being made public.This much is certain, that the Jape are dosing in on Gen.Kuropatkin, and that a decisive battie may take place È æ- any time.There are many rumors of the Japs susrounding him in such a way that, unless he wins in the coming fight, be will have to sur render, for his retreat will be cut off.Heavy rains have hindered the Japanese advance and gives time to the Russians to strengthen their positions.For losing the battle of the Yalu Gen.Zassulitch has been re lieved of bis command.As little is known of what is happeningat Port Arthur and in the peninsula of which it is the chief stronghold.The Russians seem to have destroyed Dalny, with its splendid docks and warchouses, and concentrated every available man and gun at Port Arthur.The Japs have cut all its communications, and its investment may be said to have begun.That they will try to carry it by assault is doubtful, for with patience hunger will compel the garrison to surrender.New Chang, which was Kuropatkin's chief base for supplies of food, is now held by the enemy.On sea the Russians, by their own account, have performed a daringact in torpedoing a cruiser, and two Japanese vessels have been lost by striking mines.ORMSTOWN On Friday evening the orchestra held a benefit entertainment in the hall.The program was full and varied.Mrs W.Gibson of Roekburn played on the violin, Miss Cain, accompanied on the piano, with Mr Shanks of Huntingdon on the xylophone, affording melodious music.Miss Laura Walsh sang more than onee, Mrs D.W.Morison playing the accompaniment, and was loudly applauded.Mr Shanks\u2019 comic songs brought down the house.The hall was crowded, On Saturday evening the hall was again filled, when Howe\u2019s moving pictures were presented under the auspices of the orchestra, which played at intervals.The net proceeds of both nights, $188, were swelled by donations to $203, which sum was presented to Mrs Wm.Morrison, whose late husband was a member of the orchestra, playing the trombone.Hugh Patton, upper concession, was alone at the rear of his farm cutting brush, when the axe glanced, cutting his leg just above the ankle, making a terrible gash, which bled profusely.He at once tore off his shirt and bound up the leg tightly, all the while calling loudly for help and striving to make his way home.At last he fainted from weakness.Young Beattie, knowing Patton had gone to the bush, and hearing the cally, ran from a field on another farm and found Patton unconscious.Dr Oliver was called, and dressed the wound.The cut is very deep and will take some time to heal.Our village now boasts of 12 gasoline street lamps; all provided by private enterprise, the council furnishing the fluid.HOWICK | Rev G.Whillans exchanged pulpits with Rev J.M.Kelloch on Sunday.Both hotels are entertaining travellers, altho they have not yet taken out temperance licenses.There are now 8 temperance societies in Howick,~\u2014~Royal Templars, W.C.T.U., and the Young People\u2019s.Special efforts on the part of the Y's are being made to add to the membership, many young men becoming honorary members.This society is also undertaking extra work amongst the children, getting them interested in the question of total abstinence.The lodge of A.O.U.W.formed here recently is defunct from lack of attendance aud payment of dues.The LO.F.society continues in existence with a stationary membership.Meetings are rarely held, partly because it is difficult to get a quorum, many members living a distance away.Refreshing showers fell Sunday night and Monday, which were much needed and will stimulate growth, which was being retarded by the drouth.$re MARTINE The rain of Sunday afternoon and Monday did a vast amount of good in this vicinity for the land was getting too dry and hard to be worked properly, and the grass had come to a standstill.Since the rain everything fooks well and the land ja friable.Seeding will be over this week and a good many will finish planting theirpotatoss.If we judge by, the blossom, fruit will be plenti- The extremecold of last winter has caused people to he cautious, for many.ran short of coelaad wood be: fore the winter was over, it taking move thas the usual quantity of fuel to keep a good temperature in the their winter stock.BEd.McGowan and Arthur Laberge are supplying the village at $6 à ton, delivered.CHATEAUGUAY Our banks have been overflowed in some places near the Basin.The lake has been unusually high this spring The cause assigned is that the ice went out of the lake so late as to make its waters high at the same time as the north water causes the Ottawa to rise.All low lying land at the Basin is submerged.The str.Chateauguay struck a rock during her trip to Montreal on Saturday morning,and isnow undergoing repairs.The residence and outbuildings of Wm.Wright, sr., at the Basin, were totally destroyed by fire early on Tuesday morning.About 3 a.m.the houschold was roused by the glare on their bedroom windows, but the fire had gained too much headway to be checked.It is supposed to have been smoulderingin the kitchen chimney since the day before.The most of the household furniture was saved and the barns and stables are uninjured.Much sympathy is felt for the family in their misfortune.The loss is partly covered by a policy in the Mutual.VALLEYFIELD While school girls, on Wednesday, were admiringly watching the intricate operation of the corporation water-cart man filling up his dust-layer, considerable speculation was indulged in as to whether the machine would squirt or not squirt.Finally it squirted, treating the little dames to an impromptu shower- bath, and to a probable hot reception when they reached home.A man, named Halligan, was found at Coteau on Wednesday suffering from bad spinal injuries, as wellas a crushed cranium.The man being unconscious, could not relate the cause of his wounds.He was removed to Ottawa.Another man was found the same evening at the same point with a badly mutilated hand, having been run over by a train.He belonged to the hobo tribe.* A fire broke out in a 3-tenement house on Ste Cecile street Wednesday afternoon.The brigade promptly extinguished the blaze with a chemical portable extinguisher.The steamer Chieftain called at the C.A.wharf, Clark\u2019s island, on Wednesday and towed away an ifmmense raft of 22 cribs of heavy pine timber, which had been rafted together by the Calvin Co.of Garden island.The timber is consigned to the board of admiralty, England.Several more rafts of the same class of timber are to be shipped from the same point during the summer.The timber is brought to Valleyfield by rail from the Parry Sound district.At a drill inspection of the college cadets, held on Thursday, company No 2 carried off the day\u2019s laurels as well as the banner for the best military bearing and drill exercise, The inspection was held by Capts.Le- febvre and Sullivan, and Lieut.Col- Deslauriers.At the close of the inspection both companies formed a square and instructing Sergt.Mc- Dermott was called upon by Adjutant Bartlett to submit toa court- martial, when he was presented with a gold pin for the interest and care taken by him in the instruction of his pupils.After a few congratulatory remarks made by Bishop Emard, the companies marched to the armory and were granted a furlongh of 8 hours.The animation which reigned on the college grounds afterwards must have been to many a fatigue duty rather than a recreation, Buclide Belair, victim of an accident which took place in December, on the Montreal Cotton Co.'s new building, died last Wednesday, the result of injuries received.The coroner summoned a jury to investigate the case, when a large number of witnesses were examined.A verdict was, returned, implicating the firm of Grace & Co.as responsible.The parish school commissioners have rented a building under construction by Mr Laberge in the parish on Grande Isle avenue, west of the C.A.R.track.It will be opened next September.It will accommodate quite « number of families, The Progres had a very timely note last wesk as to the brutality exersised by butchers and their at.tendante driving herds of cattle and hogs through the town streets.We hope the Progres\u2019 appeal to- the tows authorities to haré à stop pat to the practice may be move susssss.| ful than our numerous notes given on the same subject.An empty coal barge, tied wp at the government dam during the winter, sank on Monday.She was floated on Thursday afternoon.There was no mecting of the town council last week, for waut of a quorum.The members of the self appointed delegation to Quebec, who surreptiously manipulated the town charter amendments, were coaspicu- ously absent.A large number of citizens convened at the town hall to hear what explanations these members would offer for their unauthorised tampering with the bill.Section 20 in the original they have had replaced by section 21.The words, \u201cto bedeposited in the public treasury\u201d are struck out of the bill, leaving, as heretofore, the charges collected for copies of documents, etc., as a perquisite to the town secretary.The whole affair is a bold effort on the part of these self- appointed delegates to foster their own and their friends\u201dinterests.For instance, they got amendments introduced into the charter fixing the town clerk's salary at not less than $800 or more than $1400 per annum, the same for the treasurer, and not less than $600 or more than $1200 for the recorder.A maximum aggregate of $4000 per annum for salaries is thus fixed on the citizens by legislative enactment.The injustice of such an imposition is fairly shocking.Probably the most astounding piece of shamefacedness is the clause appointing the nominees of this clique for life, conditionally that said employees should bear a good conduct certificate.Capacity for duty not essential.A young child of Thomas Heaton seriously, if not fatally, scalded itself on Monday by upsetting a vessel of boiling water over itself.The rainfall of Sunday and Monday greatly benefitted pastures and considerably helped to start vegetation.Market farmers on Tuesday woré grins as large as a family wagon gingham.An imposing ceremony took place at Bellerive church on.Sunday, Bishop, Eitfatd officiating, when a \u201cClarist™ sister took her last vows, Emile Solis, \u2018of the firm of Solis freres, booksellers and stationers, leaves Valleyfield to open ¢ a store in St Hyacinthé.The Windsor hotel building i is now undergoing considerable changes, for the better accommodation of the travelling | public.Councillor Lecompte met with an accident last week, which temporarily deprived him of his eyesight.He is under medical treatment in Montreal.A branch collection office for the members of La Societe des Artisans has been opened in Bellerive ward; Mr F.Westley was given the nomination.Homphroie Monnette, aged 35, was stricken with paralysis late Sunday evening and died Monday morning.Those who chanced to be perambulating around the bay on Sunday, in the vicinity of a short, chubby newspaper man engaged in fishing, were treated to a rare sight.The fisherman in question was lazily seated in a boat, puffing a cigaroot, the noisome smell of which poisoned the atmosphere for a mile around, when a sudden bite threw him intosuch a state of perturbation that he fell into the water.HEMMINGFORD The school board met on May 9th; all present but Com McCrea.The following teachers were engaged: Miss Moody for the elementary department and John E.Lipsey for the model department of the model school; Miss Winnifred Ellertan for No 8.The secretary was authorized to advertise for teachersfor Nos 1 & 2 The Boston minstrels gave an entertainment in thetown hall on May 16th.The patronage they received was quite equal to their deserts.FRANKLIN CENTRE The sale at the old Stacy homestead drew a large attendance, and under the management of Auctioneer Philps exellent prices were obtained, especially, considering the price of milk, for cows.The total realised $1300.Mr and Mrs Cain leave for the Pacific coast.Mr Black, a student of the Montreal Congregational Theological college, will occupy the pulpit of the Congregational church .for the summer months, Hé has made à thost favorable impression, Planting asd seeding are well ads vanced, and grase looks fine, Sunday wosk Rev W, T.Halpeany of the mission for French work in Mantreal, preached in the Metbodiet church in the interests of the forward movement for missions.DUNDEE CENTRE nN The church session has decided to adopt individual cups.The matter was submitted to the congregation for their sanction, when they were almost unanimous in favor of the change.D.J.Stewart has been appointed fishery inspector in place of J.W, Bannon.LETTER FROM G.G.STEWART.Te the Editer ef the Glebaer Sæ\u2014I intend sailing tomorrow for Montreal with the following lot of Clydésdales, and expect to reach Howick

Geo, G.STEWART.Crieff, Scotland, 6th May, 1904.CANADA The association of charities in Montreal in their annual report touch on a growing defect in our social state.It says: The lack of saving, especially among the dependent classes, is a very large, and at the same time a very delicate one.The want of a thrifty spirit, especially among those in the northern climate, who work only during the summer months, is one of the dangers that confront us; for instance a man working on the wharves receives 2 or 3 times the wage he did 20 years ago and he saves not one penny, nor does he even make the attempt, and at the end of the season he rests eon- tent and is confident the charity and good nature of our city will neither let him or his family starve.The mere giving relief to such a family is of small importance, but it is of great importance to us that he and his children lose all sense of responsibility.Such a state of af fairs is simply a school for pauperism, and paupers, be they paupers either willing or unwilling, area distinet burden in our economic life.Mr C.Hebert, secretary-treasurer of the school commissioners of the parish of 8t Jean de la Croix, has obtained a judgment for $132 against Rev J.B.Jobin, the parish priest.He alleged that, at the time of his appointment, the cure objected to the choice of the commissioners, saying that Hebert was not an honest man aod not fit for the position, Mr Hebert theren for $1,000, Mr Justicé Archibald gave judgment for $132 and costs, TJ articles.Where two countries lie OUR AGRICULTURAL mrorre | Toronto Sun: During the year ending 30th June last here was imported into Canada from the United States $50,296 worth of cheese, $145,221 in butter, $76,607 in barrelled beef, $411,608 in bacon and hams, and over $857,000 wcrth of other meats and poultry.These facts are paraded by Iadustrial Cana da as justification for the statement that even the farmers of this country require protection against American competition.The argument is as foundationless as similar arguments usually are.The products named are imported into Canada because at certain poinis along the frontier American sources of supply are so much nearer thana Canadian source that to compel the consumer to draw upon the latter would involve heavy and unnecessary cost in the way of transportation charges.For example, of the $145,000 worth of butter imported $115,000 was taken into the Yukon, and nearly $27,000 into British Columbia.In this case the American producers in Washington and Oregon were so much nearer at band that consumers found it cheaper to buy from these, even in the face of a tariff of 4c per th, than to purchase in eastern Canada.It would have been quite as great an injustice to have denied the British Columbia and Yukon butter users the right of access to the American market in that case as it would be to compel Ontario consumers of coal to go to Nova Scotia on the one side or the Northwest on the other for a commodity which is available in Pennsylvania and Ohio just across the lake frontier.And as it was in butter, so it is in bacon.Of the $411,- 000 worth imported, practically the whole was bought for use along the Manitoba, Northwest, and British Columbia border, and in the Yukon, from points in the United States much more convenient of access than those parts of Old Canada where we produce a large surplusof these side by side for a distance of 4,000 miles it must necessarily happen that \u2018at some points on the frontier there will be a surplus of a certain line of product at one side of the border and a surplus on the opposite side at another point.Instead of fining each other every time an exchange of these commodities is effected, we should provide for the freest possible exchange all along the line.Under such a system the miners of the Yukon would be able to buy their bacon and dairy products where they could get them the cheapest, and Ontario farmers would find the most profitable market for their lambs, cattle, horses, and poultry in the cities to the south of us.WHAT HAS BEEN GIVEN TO RAILWAYS.Ottawa, May 11\u2014A question put commons, regarding the increased rates on the Grand Trunk brought out some telling factsabout how the country has been plundered by railway schemers.Dr Sproule referred to the amount of assistance which had been given to the Grand Trunk railway by the people of Canada, and by the provinces and municipalities separately.From 1855 to 1857 the old provinces of upper and lower Canada had given $15,142,633 to help build the Grand Trunk, At the time of Confederation there was no less an amount than $20,457,453 of this money due to the provinces, not a cent of which had been paid, Up to June 30th, 1003, the sum of $32,- 708,088 was due, not a cent of which had been paid.Inall, upto Inst year the total due by the Grand Trunk to Canada was $58,308,179.In addition to this they had reccived from municipalities $12,892,701, making a total of $71,202,888.Further than this, the Great Western railway company in 1869 had received $1,152,568, and the Northern railway in 1877 had received $3, 268,769, making a grand total, together with interest, of $75,614,208, which had been given in actual cash to provide the highways of commerce, and to give the people the facilities they required in the shape of railways, Now the railways scemed to think that they owned the country, and could put up the freight rates whenever they liked.What he objected to chiefly was the fact that they could put the rates up, but they never attempted to bring them down.Mr Pope of Compton expressed his surprise at the airy manner in which the prime minigter had dealt with this question, winsh was one of the most important ever brought before the house, The farmere of Canada Italy that 10,000 men were waïded were suffering by reason of the unfair treatment of the railway corporations.The people of Canada had paid out the enormous sum of $237,000,000 in boswees to railways, in addition to having given grants of land to the extent of 62,- 000,000 acres, What had the farmer received for this tremendous burden, which he had imposed upon himself?Very Little.It was a well known fact that products were carried cheaper from Chicago to Montreal than they were carried from Ontario points to Montreal.Half a dosen cars of American grain, londed at Midland, would pay from 10 to 20 cents a hundred less to their destination in Europe than would be paid on half a dozen cars of Canadian grain from Midland to the same destination.CHAMBERLAIN TO THE FRONT AGAIN.Mr Chamberlain, obliged to go to Egypt for his health, has returned to England and on the evening of the 12th broke the silence of the past few months.The occasion was an address to his constitucnts at Birmingham.He prefaced his speech by a reminder that the day of empires had come.Let them hold the banner high and plenty would comg to the standard.What higher ambition could they have than to unite the empire ?They must have a federation of sister states or sink to no account in the history of the world.The rising colonies would not hang for ever on the skirts of their indecision.The great colonies had decided by unanimous voice that the question of union could best be approached on the commercial side.They had made concessions.They were ready to make more.He would not call them sacrifices, because they were mutually beneficial, in order to secure a self-sustaining empire, interchanging products more freely, strengthening by ties the interest and sympathies already existing and paving the way for a consummation of the highest ideal which a nation can reach, that of evolving from a lêtpse assemblage of several states à gteat Imperial organization preservifig for all its members local independence, but united against all the world when the interests or honor of any of its members are attacked.He had received within recent events invitations from\u2019 the government of Australia and important representative organizations in Canada to visit them, but he replied that he must convince his own people first, When the mandate was given he or another would go to Canada and Australia and claim from them the same patriotism found in England and they would unite the empire.He wanted to arrange taxation so as to promote a freer exchange among their people.He would prefer to take everything from their own empire, which would produce everything at as low a price as anywhere else, rather than take it from any other nation, however friendly.Trade with foreign countries was falling offand disaster was only staved off by the increase of trade with the colonies.The decline in trade with foreign countries was certain to continue, theincrease with the colonies would not continue.The policy of mutual preference alone would keep good-will, full sympathy and present a large proportion of trade with their colonial brethren.He wished free trade statesmen would declare definitely what assurance they had either from the government, legislature, or individuals in the colonies, that their children across the seas did not earnestly and unselfishly desire closer union.Could a referendum be taken in Great Britain, he believed a large majority would favor his proposals.London, May 13\u2014The Times, referring to Chamberlain\u2019s warning in his speech at Birmingham, that Great Britain's commercial rivals are plying the colonies\u2019 with mutual preference schemes, says: \u201cThough Chamberlain may put the thing too high when saying that from being first among the commercial nations, we have sunk to 3d place, there is no doubt that we are being pressed hard in the rate and nothing but an increasing colonial trade can prevent us from feeling very painfully the shrinkage in our exports to foreign countries,\u201d Montreal is having a new experience in some 4000 Italians sleeping in its parks and slowly starving.They pull dandelions, which they eat.They say they came to Canada because of a report circulated in to build the Grand Trunk Pacifie.There is no prospect of work and yet move are on the way.THE KING AND THE MAYOR.At Waterford, Ireland, there were the wonal éalutes and bouquets and addresses, varied with two sauesal incidents.The sword of state was held aloft by the constable of the city.This was presented to Waterford by King John.While the mayor was reading the address a pretty little toddler, in a white frock, escaped from her mother, danced on to the dias, and gased in wide-eyed wonder at the King and Queen.It was an awkward moment.The Queen was divided between a desire to smile and a desire to observe the due formalities of the occasion.The King patted the little girl's chock while he Haten- ed to the mayor.Then Lord Dudley came to the rescue, and carried the baby back to her mother, and so the solemnities of the occasion were resumed.When the King returned to Waterford station, Lord Dudley approached the mayor, James Power, and told him that the King commanded his presence.The mayor approached, and was directed to kneel.Borrowing a sword from Lord Dudley, the King gave the accolade and uttered the magic words, \u201cArise, Sir James!\u201d Sir James arose, and immediately the royal train had gone, he was overwhelmed by the congratulations of his friends.The new knight, who is about 96, a signal act of heroism.Hisdraper's shop caught fire, and at imminent risk to himself, he twice forced hie: way through the flames and rescued two of his shopmen.THE WAR RUSSIANS TORPEDO A JAP CRUISER.Liao Yang, May 14\u2014The Russian fleet scored its first distinct naval success of the war on May 10 by the torpedoing and crippling, though not the sinking, of an armored Japanese cruiser in Talien Wan bay.The Russian attack was carefully planned on May 10, while the Japanese squadron was concentrated outside Dalny.The attack was carried out that night, The attacking force was not a regular torpedo boat, but was only a small naptha launch in command of a young naval officer, who had with him 3 jackies.The launch mounted a small gun and carried 3 torpedoes.When darkness fell the launch crept out of Port Arthur with no lights aboard to betray her presence.It was late when the launch gained the outer line of the Japanese squadron.She slipped through the torpedo boat pickets and selecting the nearest warship, a big armored cruiser, made toward her and succeeded in exploding against her side a single torpedo.A deafening roar followed the explosion, which echoed far in shore.Immediately flames enveloped the cruiser, which evidently was badly crippled.The crew of the cruiser was seen to be fighting the flames, which they at last succeeded in extinguishing.A sister ship took the damaged ship in tow and disappeared to the southeast.caped the hot fire directed against her by the Japanese ships, but being unable to return to Port Arthur or to get into Dalny, she was beached.Only a few of the higher officers were aware of the plan, the success of which depended upon secrecy.The achievement raised the spirits of the Russians ashore, and the young naval officer who was the hero of the exploit, was feted and recommended for the cross of St George.ANOTHER JAP LOSS.Tokio, May 16.\u2014The Japanese despatch boat Miyako was destroyed in Kerr bay by striking a submerged mine.Eight casualties are reported.The Miyako was assisting in the aperation of clearing Russian mines from

outstripped their gifs and after advancing parallel to the road until abreast of the enemy, suddenly closed in, completely surprising the Russians, who were forced to take a defensive position.A body pursuing the rear, quickened their movements, and all 3 simultaneously engaged the Russians.A desperate fight ensued, the Russians at short range using their guns with deadly effect.The Japanese greatly outnumbered their opponents, and inflicted terrible losses, with rifle fire without guns, The Japanese might well have retired and waited for support, but the men, zealous of the laurels earned by their comrades earlier in the day would get at the enemy with loud cheers.All 3 bodies with bayonets fixed charged the Russian position, almost a solid mass.Such impetuosity, backed by superior numbers could not be withstood and the Russians hoisted the white flag as token of surrender.With the Russians were 20 guns, all of which fell into the hands of the Japanese; 20 officers were taken prisoners, and 400, more than half wounded.The Japanese estimated their casualties in this short fight at 800.The Russian losses were at least treble that number.At the battle of Yalu Russian officers confess that they were as tonished at the cleverness of the Japanese in taking cover and thus escaping the fire of their batteries, although the excellence of the Russian smokeless powder made it impossible to tell the direction from which the shells were coming.Even with the strongest glassesit was impossible to fix the site of the batteries.On the Yals, May 8.\u2014To-day I examined the trophies captured from the Russians.The field guns number 21, all of the latest patterns; dated 1901 and 1902.The total of 29 originally telegraphed was made up by the addition of 8 Maxims.There was also a great quantity of gun and rifle ammunition, a number of ammunition wagons, 2,600 rifles; saddlery, entrenchment tools, clothing, brass band instruments riddled with bullets.I visited the prisoners, who, by a strange irony, are Poles from Warsaw, taken at Homatang, when covering the Russian retirement.Those in the hospital are most carefully tended.Their lodging is superior to that of

of the engagement which the Japanese had on Monday with the Russian garrison at Kai Chou, on the west coast of the Liao Tung peninsula, 23 miles directly south of Yin Kow, | the port of New Chawang, the Russians were driven out of Kai Chou.The Daily Telegraph\u2019s New Chwang correspondent under date of May 18, says: After driving out 1500 Russians and destroying the railway, the Japanese re-embarked from Kai- Chou, the combined fleet heading southward.The Russians re-entered New Chwang with 1000 infantry and two batteries of artillery, but all preparations.are made for an-|.other hasty evacuation.A St Petersburg correspondent says that official advices have been received to the effect that the Japanese have occupied New Chwang.St Petersburg, May 18\u2014The admiralty received today an official despatch from rcar-admiral Wittsoeft, believed to have been dated from Port Arthur May 14, reporting that there has been no further fighting afloat there since the telegraph line was cut, the Japanese ships not having attacked.Everything was well at the Russian squadron.The despatch was gratifying to the authorities, not only for the news it contained, but because its receipt established the fact that while the telegraph line is severed a system of communication by means of Chinese runners has been satisfactorily inaugurated.The news from Manchuria is of increasing friction between the Russians and the Chinese bandits.A correspondent at Mukden confirms the report that the hostile armies are in touch southeast of Liao-Yang.The Japanese force is estimated at

Christians in India numbered 1,506,098, of whom 1,246,288 were natives.In 1901 the Christians numbered 2,923,241, of whom 2,664,313 were natives.Of the latter number two-fifths were Catholics, and three-fifths Protestants, ; Lord Ellesmere was a close friend ofthe Duke of Wellington and his reminiscences of the Iron Duke, what he said and did, have been published for the first time.Lord

Chamberlain, defending in the house of commons today the expenditure of the navy, said the necessity for the maintenance of a two-power standard had not changed.He trusted the country would not be

63 warships, against the same number for France and Russia.Mr Chamberlain added he entirely differed from those who thought the result of the Russo Japanese war had been to wipe out from
