Ijondon, March 5.—'(C.A.P.)—The Grand Trunk Kaiiway» report was issued yostorduy. The directors statement of accounts for the half year ending Dec. 31 shows tiiat the gross receipts wore D3,138,4ü8. an increase of £32(3,590. The iiassen- gers carried numbered 5,139,U73, an increase of 451,422, while the weights of freight and live stock totalled ^,738,702 tons, an increase of 590,172. The working expenses, including a special charge of £30,- 000 on bridge. renewal account amounted to £2.314,(>84, the net receipts being £921,000. There were no revenue charges for the half year.

IA*SS the credits of £526,000 the balance of revenue is £398,400, to which has to be added the Detroit, Grand Haven & Milwaukee surplus for the half year of £400, thus making the surplus on revenue ac- count £898,800. For maintenance and equipment thei*c is an increase of £52,485; in cost of transporta- tion an increase of £179,616, due to the increased price of materials of all descriptions, and the higher wag- es afïecting all the railroads on the North America continent. Thrt total increased expenditure is £239,263. To the surplus of £398,800 is added the balance of £5,500 from June last, which makes the total amount of £404,300 available for dividends. This permits of payment in full of the dividends for the half year 0/ 4 per cent, on the guaranteed stock, and of the dividends in the first and second ])rcfcrence stocks and the de- claration of a first dividend for the year for third preference stock- holders, leaving a balance of about £2,800 to bo carried forward.

.Most Satisfactory >tatcm»nt.

The Financial News says that the half-yearly report of the G.T.R. is the most satisfactory statement in many respects Sir Charles Rivers- Wilson and his colleagues have ever been able to present. In eight years there has been a gross expansion of £827,000, or 50 per cent., which speak volumes for the industrial pro- gress made in the Dominion, and the ability and vigor with which G. T. R. affairs arc handled.

The Financial Times praises the development of the short distance traffic of the G.T.R. The earnings' per train mile jumped from of pence to 7 pence. The increased cost of transportation, chiefly due to the £90,000 additional price paid for fuel, was neutralized by many minor economies.

Paris, March 7.—The Matin’s Lon- don correspondent sends to his paper the report of a conversation held Saturday evening with a personage intimate with King Edward, who had just left the palace. This per- sonage said the King spoke upon the subject of the war in the Far East and repeated His Majesty’s words:

“I am much distressed at the Rus- so-Japanese war, which 1 consider a most deplorable ev^nt. On th(î other l#and I consider that our good under- standing with Franco has never been more useful than it is nt present, and believe that it is likely to be- come more and more useful not only in the interest of France and Great Britain, but in the higher interest of general peace. Should complications arise, despite all efforts to prevent them, the union between France and England will render the greatest ser- vice. That union mu.st be closely maintained for the good of all, whatever may happen. I hope the pres.s of all countries, the English press included, will strive to atten- uate diflicultics rather than to ag- gravate them."

The correspondent adds that the interlocutor not only authorized a repetition of the King’s words, but read the correspondent’s despatch af- firming that His Majesty’s remarks were correctly rendered.

Rasslan Pr«s« nn <^r«nt Britain.

St. Petersburg, March 7.—Advices from Vladivostock say that the 2,--^ 500 Japanese troops who landed aV"^ Plak.sin Bay (on the cast coast of northern Corea) arc advancing to- ward Muson (218 miles from Gcn- »an), with the intention of ultim- ately reaching Hunchun (on the left bank, of the Tumcn River, about 100 miles west of Vladivostock), and threatening the Russian fiank. In order to checkmate this, a Russian outpost 100 strong, which crossed the Tumcn, is advancing to occupy Koyrong, on the Tumcn, a walled city commanding the trails along which the Japanese must pass.

4‘hc naval mobilization,foreshadow- ed in these despatches, was partial- ly decided yesterday. Three eastern provinces of Eastern Russia, Viatka, Perm and Ufa, are included in the plan, the purpose stated being the strengthening of the crews of the Pacific squadron.

The Novosti prints a significant editorial, which is very conciliatoi-y toward Great Britain. The paper argues that the understanding be- tween the two countries with re- gard to an Astac policy will assure peace in Asia, ' without which the moral development of Russian and British interests there would be im- possible. If Great Britain, The Novosti says, would agree to an out- let for Russia to the Indian Ocean Great Britain’s possessions in India would be unconditionally guaranteed by Russia.

The Novoe Vreniya also discussed the offices of British friendship, but with bad grace, saying: “John Bull believes he has a better chance to reaching the winning post with Groat Britain and Japan in double harness than with a trick including the American mustang."

Referring to the assistance render- ed by the British cruiser Talbot to the Russian sailors at the battle of Chemulpo, The Novosti declares that all Ru.ssia respectfully acknowledges the noble and chivalrous conduct of the commander of the vessel—“con- duct, the journal adds, “tiiat does gi’oat honor to the British nation, which has always been a model of generosity and gallantry."

Berlin, March 7.—Considerable con- cern has been caused in Berlin by a telegram from Vienna to The Tago- blatt announcing that the Sultan has rejected the plan of organization for the Macedonian gendarmcrily. His Maje.sty has also refused to rati- fy the agreement with Bulgaria. The Austrian Government is said to he looking forward to developments in the Balkans in the coming spring with great anxiety. The Cologne Gazette further announces that Tur- key is assembling a flying squadron and warships, and has ordered the mobilization of her torpedo flotilla.

THE CLASH OE LEADERS.

No moro rcmarkaMe speech thon'

that delivered by Mr. F. D. Mo.nki

to his constituents in Jacques Car-

tier County, at Lachlne on Monday

Feb. 29th, is to be found in the

political annals of Canada.

Never has a leader more tren.-

chantly and successfully assailcdj

the course pursued by those whd

formed the inner council of the

party; never has the misguided po

ticy of a party been held up moref

unsparingly, more justifiably and

moro righteously, to the indignaJ

tion. condemnation and scorn oftluÿ

public.

That an unreserved exposure and

.severe indictment of improper polM

tical methods—of craft and intrigue^

and even of cliicanry, might bef

looked for from Mr. Monk, after

his letter to Mr. R. L. Borden,, inJ

which he resigned the position q£

the Icadersliip of tiie party iii

Quebec, which coiiistiluted him Mr.

Borden’s chief lieutenant, was the

belief of careful observers of af-

fairs; but a denunciation so poweit

ful, so convincing, so transparentl;^

honest, so obviously proper, had

taken the public completely by sur-

prise.

What strikes the impartial mindi

most forcibly in connection with

this most unhappy affait’, next td

the latent ability in Mr. Monk him'

self which is here, unmistakably rci

vealed, is the eminently propeE

course ho has pursued, strictly Par-

liamentary in the best sense, in re-

serving for the ears of his own;

constituents, the electors who sent/

him to Parliament, the account of

the extraordinary condition . of aG

fairs with which be was calledl

upon to deal, ■ (

The trouble did not begin with

what may be termed the effore-

socnce of Tarteism in the Conservai

tive ranks. That was the fully de

voloped flower, hut the bud made

its appearance earlier.

• • •

“The plan of campaign in 1900,” said Mr. Monk, “had been deplor.,1 able. Conceived in the minds of mere competent in business, but knowing/ notliing of politics. densely ig- norant of the special condi- tions in Quebec, filled with) that presumptious confidencei which scorns every council, they cooly sealed the fate, of valuable! men, whose names are familiar ‘to vou, and after the battle was over four members representing French- Canadian ridings were left alone to answer the roll call.”

The plan of campaign here rc->

forred to was concocted, manipulkat..i

cd and directed by a Montreal news

paper—a plan of campaign which eni

ded in humiliating and ignominious

dis;isler after its depths of politi-

cal rascality had boon revealed.

What but disaster was to be ex-

pected from the sheer stupidity, to

say nothing else, of issuing from'

the same newspaper office two sets

of election literature, one Imperial

ist for Ontario, the other anti-im-

perialist for Quebec ? Only persons

who were, grossly ignorant and ut-

terly unscrupulous would bo guilty

of such peurilc, such fatuous action.

• • •

Then again, what could a mam

with Mr. Monk’s conception of poli-

tical ethics think of the issue of

that pamphlet suggesting that Mr.-

Tarte, then a member of the Gov-

ernment, iwas aiming at securing'

the. annexation of Canada to the

States—a jiamphlet bearing the sig-

nature, without their previous know-

ledge, of all the Conservative candi

dates in Quebec ? Mr. Monk de-

scribes all this as ignorance, andi

what was it but ignorance of tho

most degraded kind — ignorance of

the effects which a campaign ’■con-

ducted without rcgar'.l to ethics, td

honesty, and even to common dc-

dooency, would have on the commu-

nity f Î

But it is needless to claboratOi

This was the plan of campaign to

which Mr. Monk took exception. Mr.

Monk explained the circumstances

under which he was induced to as-

sume tho leadership — circumstan-

ces, which, it may ho said, were

without a single exception entirely

creditable to him. “In spite of the)

many objections suggested to my)

mind, I accepted,” Jie said, “tbcl

dangerous mission,”

That he did not undertake tho

task lightly, or to gratify any feel

Ing of personal vanity, is quite evi

dent. He hints at rather than tells

of the sacrifices consequent upon his

new duties, and adds modestly: “I

think I (may say truthfully that my

time, and the resources at my

command, wore placed unstintingly

at .the party's disposal so long as]

it honored me with its oonfidcnce,” * • *..

The sketch given of party affairs!

up to the time of Sir. Tarle’s dig

missal from the Dominion Cabinet’

by Sir Wilfrid Laurier shows that

Sir. Slonk worked hard, and fought

hard.

“About the same time,” he pro' coeds, “certain so-called Conserva- tive papers staarted tho notion that the only hope of Our party in, this province rested upon the as- sistance which might be received, from tho former “Master of the Administration.’ The idea gained ground rapidly, especially in our sister provinces. Leading Conserva- tives here held povv-wo\vs with tho ex-Ministcr. Would he consent to direct the campaign or would lie not ? That was the question.”

The ex-SIinister was the man

against whom the Conservative

party saw fit to direct its cam-

paign chiefly in 1900, and in doftig

so made such a wretched, such a

pitiable exhibition of its failure to

storm the citadel of the administra

tion. I

And here is the result, which can-

not be better descried than in Mr,

Monk’s own words :—

“The house prêt on the 12th of. March, 1300, and long heforo the 1st of May following, 1 saw clearly that many of my Conservative col- leagues considered our success in Quebec depouded on what the mem her for St. Mary’s division would decide to do. AVias he not the man who had carried the elections of 1896 ? Did not the Liberal party owe him its success in 1900? Wasi he not. tho prince of organizers? What he had done for others he could do for us and ensure victory. Such was the opinion of several of my best friends who conversed free- ly with me about it, but I did not share it.

“I had never considered tho ex- minister as one of the dotermining) causes of our losses. 1 ‘ ‘Those who followed the long eight months’ session of 1903, are pretty well aware of what took place. My po.sition became daily moro embarrassing. A section of my colleagues sincerely entertained tho opinion tha.t our new ally would bo invaluable in Quoec. My own conviction, quite as sincere, was that if our party became identified with the ex-minister, tho contest would, in the eyes of the oeople, become a trial of strength betweeni the Prime Minister and his ex-min ister. Tinder such conditions, the re- sult might prove unfavor-able I'et mo add : Some of our newspapers c’Pas- cd publishing reports of rav doings in tho House. This was about July 1903, when we a.ll looked for ap autumn dissolution 6f ‘Parliament.

<• • *

Here, then, was the reward for

faithful services, the rcoompensc for

devotion, for chivalry, for sacrifices

patiently borne ! •

Tho faithful lieutenant who had!

worked long and faithfully was to

be dropped for the enemy of yes-

terday. Mr. Tarte became the dic-

tator of the party and its poldcy,;

has captured its organization and'

perveted its aims, whicli is now

undiluted Tarteism.

If any modicum of satisfaction is

left fo^ Mr. Monk, it must bo in.

the fact that the recent bye-elec-

tions, upon which sue!) store was

set, which wore to ring thech.anges

.so to speak, of the new leader's triumph, turned out just as mis-' erable, as iiitiable 'a failure as tho campaing of 1900. — Ottawa Free Press.

HARD UP FOR A HUSBAND.

On« Russian Womao Pledges Him aad the Other Goes OIT With tha Seoarit^.

Warsaw, March 7.—A peasant wo- man of Bielastotchek, in the Gov- ernment of I'ilna, wishing to raise some money for household expenses, went to an old maid who had made small loans to friends. The house- wife had nothing to pawn, but at last thought of her vshiftless hus- band, and suggested that he be the pledge. The money-lender consented and the money was advanced.

The peasant woman made her pur- chases and on returning home found her husband gone. Tho money-lend- er had been there and had takca away the husband, with whom she was preparing to take a long jour- ney.

The wife complained to the village court, but the judge decided against her, and, as the sum borrowed was more than she could pay back, and •as no one would go to her rescue, .•'ic had the mortification of seeing her husband depart with his captor amid the cheers and laughter of tho towns people.

On the 2815Î1 d,ay of August, in Dr. Hope’s office, at Ale-vandria, îïi pre- sence of those having charge of the games for| that day, I told them that insteaKl of a cup I would put up a full I ,set*'of medals for thd winning team with the distinct un derstandin® that all the players had to be resiefents of the County of Glengarry. Iio outsider to be admit ted as a player whatever. At that moment soàie person had sugge-sted that Mooses Creek could play with some othcr|te!am, at which time I strongly oÿectcdi and said, "No,” that they fid to”be all Glengarry boys, or I fould put up no medals. I further iuorc stated that they were privileted to pick their players from any I^rt ot the County.

Now, Mr. «Editor, remember that this siateimait was made on August 28th, and j»t after Sept . 2nd, as has been ciiculated throughout por tlons of thif County. !

Dear .Sir a^d Bro.—Re the medals I put up for the football teams, thei Dunvo'gan tqàm are trying to claim them on the grounds that they were put up for fnon as well as Glcn-i garry teams.*

Now, Mr. Gordon, I am confidentf you can remefiber my words disdincti ly in Dr. Hope’s oflice, at Alexan- dria, when Ilmentioned that a cuspl was not suiti&ilo for football teams in their position, and I agreed to put up Tnedais instead of the cup, as they. wo,uihi be much more appro- priate, but ill doing so, it was to be clearly understood that the play- ers wets all to be Glengarry boys, I also said fuHher that I did not wish to put qp medals for non- rcsidents, or boys from other count tics, as their ? reiprcsentatives were in position toi do that part them- selves. I mentioning Stormont .for an example. Osn the evening of the 2nd of Septeml^er, I had a talk with! you r6 how the medals were to be given, at which time you remember cd the ground^ upon ;tvhich I had given them. '

No^, Mr. Gordon, I would like an ^^carly reply coijroborating that con- '^^crsajtion re thè grounds upen w'hich

St. Petersburg, March 5.—Tlie fol- lowing despatch, dated March 3, has been received from Major-General Pflug, commanding the Kussian for- ces at Port Arthur:

“All is quiet at Port Arthur and Kinkow. According to information given by eyo-witnosscs, a Japanese cruiser having three funnels lies near Chemulpo, between islands, having recently sunk there/'

All Qul«t at VladiToatnck:

Vladivostock, March 5.—All is quiet hero. No Japanese warships have been seen since Fob. 25, when ten sliips were sighted on the hori- zon. hut soon disapiiearcd. The in- habitants continue to leave Vladi- vostock for Nikola k, Khabarovsk OP • Europe.

to information ivceiveS'here, 40 panose uanHports, escorted by tru^ entire naval licet, have been eiicrgct^ ically landing trool>s in Coewb,- at Fusan and Chemulpo. It is estimat- ed that fully 100,000 men have dis- embarked, and it is supposed that nn immediate advance into North Corea is contemplated. From the fact tha^.;_J^^ J‘ai)anese fleet is thus employodl’Ac iifcfelt that no immedi- ate atta<^k on Vladivostock or Port Arthur will bo made. The reported landing of 2,500 Japanese at Cong- chfu, Plaksin Bay, on the east coast of Corea, has been confirmed.

.Inp» llttikh In Fnre«*«

London, March 5.—Little change in the h'ar Eastern situation is report- ed this morning. It is apparent that the .Japanese are busily engaged in transporting their forces into Co- rea, and this work is being facilitat- ed by the enforced inactivity of the navy.

According to the Sebastopol eorre- spondent of The Daily Graphic, Ad- miral Skrydolff has learned private- ly from. Port Arthur that the Kus- sian battleship Rctvizan lies in such a position as to block eflcetually the exit of the battleships from the har- bor, the passage being practicable only for cruisers. The correspondent adds that Russia’s new battleships now building on the Baltic will not ho ready for active commission be- fore the end of August.

Japan*»a Fnraalsht. The Japanese official who has

charge of .Tapan’s financial and com- mercial interests in England de- clares that his Governement foresaw the possibility of coal being declared contraband of war, and that it has boon collecting large stores of Welsh steam coal for years, so that to-day it has a supply sufficient for the needs of the navy for years to come.

The recent Japanese elections re- sulted rather favorably to the Min- isterialists, without greatly chang- ing the strength of political parties

(there. The returns arc approximate- ly 130 Constitutionalists, 96 Pro- gressives, 70 without party and 83 members from small groups.

War IK to Srenrm Fence.-

According to the Tokio correspon- dent of The Standai'd, the Mikado has sent a personal message to the Emperor of Corea, assuring him that war was declared solely with the view of securing parmanent peace, and expressing the sincere wish that the recently concluded .lapancso-Corean protocol should in- crease the intimacy of the two countries.

On the strength of a statement made l>y a ini.s.sionary. the Shanghai corrc.si)ondent of The Daily Chronicle semis in a doubtful report that 98 Japanese sailors have landed at Tongchati, saying that their vessel had sunk, as the result of an en- gagement with Russian warships, which also went down. No Russians were saved, but 200 .lapancse were rescued by Chinese junks. This ac- tion is reported to have occurred between Port Arthur and the Miaoto Islands.

Great Rrltaia** Xaatralttr* Ijondon, March 5.—The Russian

Ambassador, Count Bcnckendroff, who returned to London frtjm St. Petersburg on Wednesday, jiestorday visited King Edward and presented His Jlajesty with an. autogjraph let- ter from the Czar. This tms in an- swer to a letter sent by Kind Ed- ward, in which, in the mest friend- ly terms, he emphasized Great Bri- tain’s complete neutrality during the war in the Far East. Britain will not move unless compelled to do so by the entrance into I’ar East affairs of a third power.

Brantford, March 5,—J. C.

Vladivostock, March 7.—A ficct of five Jaijancsc battleships and two cruisers ax)pearod o/T this place at 1.25 o’clock Sunday afternoon and bombarded the town and shore bat- ; teries for 5 minutes. The fleet ap- proached from the direction of As- kold Island, at the cast entrance of Ussuri ôay and about 32 miles southeast of Vladivostock.

Entering Ussuri Bay the enemy formed in line of battle, but did not approach to a closer range than five and one-third miles. They directed their fire against the shore batteries, but no damage resulted, as most of their 200 lyddite shells failed to biJfrist'.

'J'he Ru.ssiars batteries,commanded "Iiÿ*"QlÛLnV;rals \cronetz. and Artamon-

hot reply, awaiting a closer of the enemy. The Japan-

V&?rti^ceascd at 2.20 p.in., and the retired in the direction of

Askold Island. Simultaneously two torpedo boat destroyers appeared near Askold Island and two more near Cape Maidol.

The Japanese ships were covered with ice. The attack resulted in no loss to the Russians, but cost the enemy 200,000 roubles ($100,000) in ammunition. .Most of the pro- jectiles wore six and 12-inch shells. The population of Vladivostock was warned this morning of the presence on the horizon of a hostile fioet and of the lU'ospcct of an attack during the day, but it remained tranquil.

Alexieff <;onfirinK iîoinbartlment.

St. Petersburg, March 7.—A com- munication from Viceroy Alexieff to the Czar, from Mukden, bearing yes- terday’s date, says:

“1 most humbly inform your Ma- jesty that the commander at the fortress at Vladivostock reports that at 8.50 this morning seven ves- sels were south of Askold Island. At 9.45 they were seen to be war- ships making for Askold Island. About noon the enemy's squadron was midway between the coast and Askold Island, making for Ussuri Bay. They were out of reach of the shore batteries. At 1.30 the enemy opened fire. Two vessels in the sc^uadron were probably the first- class cruisers Odzumo and Yakumo, but the names of the other vessels are unknown.”

Oflicial despatches concerning the bombardment of Vladivostock by a Japanese fleet yesterday afternoon do not mention any Russian losses, but private advices say that four sailors and the wife of an engineer were kill- ed. It is apparent that Japanese were afraid to risk exposing their ships to the plunging fire of the land batteries, and it is con.sidered prob- able here that the attack was really to draw the fire of the Russian forts, compelling- the Russians to disclose the position and calibre ,of their guns, and also to ascertain whether the Ru.ssian squadron is in port.

If this was the Japanese purpose, it is believed to have failed signally, as the batteries did not fire a shot, and if the squadron is in port it could not be seen from the Japan- ese position in the Bay of Ussuri.

The Cossack scouts say that a Japanese column from Plaksin Bay on arriving in the snow-blocked de- file of the mountains separating Corea from Manchuria, was forced to halt owing to avalanches and other obstacles. The scouts say that one-third of the strength, of this column is invalided. It is now sup- posed ’that the column is returning for the purpose of seeking an easier route.

Russian Squndron Not in Port.

London, March 7.—Only Russian reports on the bombardment of Vladivostock have yet been received, and these give no indications wheth- er the Russian squadron is still thei*e. According to a report from Tokio, the squadron was seen off Gensan, Corea, last Thursday, but of this report there is no reliable information.

Speculation, however, inclines to the belief that the Russian squadron is not in port at Vladivostock, as neither the oflicial nor the other re- ports of the bombardment mention Russian battleships.

The Standard’s St. Petersburg correspondent telegraphs, under re- serve, a story to the effect that a party of Japanese,, disguised as Tar- tars, wore arrested by a guard of the Siberian Railway bridge at the River Volga, having packages of dynamite in their possession.

A spaecial despatch from Tientsin estimates there arc 30,000 Tungese irregulars in southern Manchuria, largely led by patriotic Japanese, who volunteered for the dangerous work. The Russian cruiser Aurora has arrived at Suda Bay, Turkey.

ract mat In the recent cngagornciuji between the Yalu River and Ping- j yang the Russians with superior ! numbers defeated the Japanese, but lost heavily.

Refugees arriving here say that Port Arthur has not been attacked since Fob. 26, but that stores and ammunition are still arriving. Work on the mud docks in which it is ex- pected to repair the battleship Czare- vitch has been abandoned for the past three days, the foreign engineer being unable to raise the Rctvizan, quitting Port Arthur together with the only other Anglo-Saxon there.

That considerable damage within the fortifications has been caused by the Japanese fire from Pigeon Bay is corroborated and the defences on that side arc being strengthened by barbed wire entanglements and ad- ditional artillery. Street traffic in Port Arthur, the refugees say, is largely confined to ammunition carts. All the forts have been pro- vided with naval si.gnal officers to identify Russian ships and prevent- ! ing the fort from firing on them when they arrive.

China Ansorts II^rKclf to RnKsIa.

Tokio, March 7.-rThc Chine.se For- eign Office has replied to the Mika- do’s Goveniment regarding the pro- test filed by Russia against the des- patch of troops to the northern provinces. The reply says that the object is to maintain order and en- force neutrality.

China has requested the Ru.ssian troops to withdraw to the eastward of the Liao River, as otherwise much disturbance might be caused to the Chinese inhabitants of those provinces.

A small number of Russian troops arc reported to be at Newchwang. The influence of, the Russians at that important port seems to be on the decline and they have expressed the desire that China shall ‘declare New- chwang to be a neutral port, with the apparent object of embarrassing Japan. The arrival of the Japanese army is desired by all neutrals.

The Russian troops arc greatly embarrassed by the scarcity of pro- visions supplied in Manchuria, ow- ing to Japanese successes on the sea and the Chinese declaration of neutrality. The Russians rely large- ly on the Siberian railway for food supplies, and the transportation of troops is consequently impeded.

A Che Foo report puts the number of troops at Port Arthur as 11,400... They are prepared for a Japanese attack from the rear. Provisions are high; no coal is sold and the in- habitants and coolies are forced to remain.

Aeçording to trustworthy informa- tion from Pingyang, there are no Russian soldiers south of Anjou. A report from Tientsin says that 20,- 000 Russians have crossed the Y'ula River, but this cannot be confirmed.

HuKSlans Fortiying; New nr.se.

Tokio, March 7.—The Russians are briskly fortifying Antung, which, it is believed, they will make a base for resistance. Scouts near Anjou are being withdrawn towards Ka- san. It is denied here that the French Government, in behalf of the holders of concessions, has made any objection to Japan completing the Seoul-Wiju Railway.

Scheme.

Calais, France, March 7.—In order to prevent their capture by Russian warships in the English Channel or the Mediterranean Sea, the owners of colliers for Japan are giving their vessels instructians to proceed for a neutral j)ort in China, there to re- ceive orders for a Japanese port. In this way it is hoped to assure the safety of the coal, which is for Jap- anese ships.

Paris, March 7.—L’Action quotes a Russian Socialist leader, named Ple- kanoff, as saying that the Czar pre- cipitated the war with Japan in or- der to turn the minds of his subjects from the threatened and growing re- volution for liberty. The people, M.

Pleknnoff says, at the first defeat of Russia, will in turn impose their conditions. Russia will be vanquish- ed, he says, because she engaged in this war without being prepared for it.

Utifsln Encrenehlne on China. i

London, March 7.—A correspondent of The Times at Pekin has visited the railway outside the great wall and comments on Russia's refusal to respect its neutrality, ns compelling Japanese similarly to disregard its neutrality. The correspondent says:

“Russia is patrolling the railway nearly to the great wall with small bodies of cavalry. At every station there arc two .sets of guards, one comvosod of Gen. Yunnshaikai’s well- behaved troops and the other of un- disciplined troops .sent by the Tar- tar general of Mukden. There are 20 of Gen. Yuanshaikai’s men at each station, with a large body at Sinmintun. With the exception of the railway guards there are no Chinese foreign-drillocl troops outside the wall in Manchuria Province. Ru.ssia forbids any increase in their num- ber. It is believed when the river opens the Hu.ssians will destroy the K'unbont Sivoutch at Newchwang to prevent her capture.

“AH accounts agree that thé Rus- sians have commandeered nn im- mense number of ('’hinese carts, and arc concentrating on the YnUi River, where the first battle is expected.”

HOW IT»S DONE.

It’s from the stomach the

blood is fed and the nerves

controlled.

Undigested food ferments

for lack of gastric juice.

The fermentation and putre-

faction in the stomach and

main causes of disease.

It upsets the nerves.

It poisons the system.

Dr. Leonbardfi Anti-Pill

increases the necessary sup-

ply of gastric juice in quan-

Ripe in years and good deeds,■ and surrounded by his loved ones. Patrick Quigley, Sr., died at hi3 late residence in Midland Township last Saturday aftcruoon at 1 o’clock. For a number of years he has been in poor health on account of ad- vanced ago and heart trouble and the end was not. unexpected. After dinner, Saturday, his wife read to' him from the pirayer buak of. his church and he laid down to rest. His wife left the room and in an instant heard him gasp. She .has- tened to hi-s side to find him in a. dying condition and in a few, sec- condn ail was over.

Patrick Quigley was born at! Loohiel, Glengarry County, Ont., April loth, 1820. His education was gamed at his native, town, ■where he grew to manhood. In 1843 ho was married to Isabella MoMllilan who bore him five child- ren. She died in 1859. On May 1st), 1859, he was unitiîd in marriage to Sarah Ervin at Perth. Out. irt March of 1881 he came to Pembina County and located on a homestead in Midland Township about four miles east of Glasston and in May was followed by his wife and family and since that time Pembina County has been their home.

During his residence in Midland, Township, deceased held many local township and school offices and was regarded as a man of high inte- grity and warm heart. His home' was always open to the strangert and friendless and is noted far and wide for openhanded hospitality; AH his life ho wfis a devout..,.ijaembe.r} of the Roman Catholic .faith, andt but two days lieforo: ; his <;leathv received the sacraments of' tho church. His last conscious,.act :W.aa one of prayer and his soul went be-, fore its God prepared for the great: judgment.

The fuiicral occurred at the Catho- lic church in this city at 10.30 Moni day morning, Rev. S. J. Arsenault, saying Requiem Mass und preaching the sermon. The church, was well filled despite the raging blizzard and a largo concourse of .sorrowing friends and relatives, many from out of tho city, followed the re- mains to their last resting place in the Catholic cemetery. ‘ T. J,. Kelly, Thomas Duffy, M. M. CamiH bell and Joseph Geurraain acted as pall-bearers. i

Besides the widow, ten children! are left to mourn his loss, four ofl whom, one son and three daughters reside at Gardner, M,ass., the rou maining residing in this county. Tho latter are, Allen, John, Patrick and James, Mrs. Sarah Jordan and Miss Harriott'.—Feb. ïth’,

.Winnipeg, Mii rcli 4, '04 A. G. F. Macdonald, Esq.,

Alexandria, Ont. Friend George,—Don’t get a sbocfc

W'hen you read the .signature to this letter, I just thought that B w'ould write you a few lines for old. times sake. Since I came out to' this progressive city, last Augu.st, 1 have done well in this world’s goods as nearly every one w'ho comes outi here does if they have any kind of “git” about them, there is all kind/3 of chances for good live fellows hero and tho Glcngarrians that I have met are not among the least suc- cessful by any means. There arc quite a number from the old County here and they alw'ays make them.- selves felt in w'hatever occupation they engage. The coming summer promises to be one of unusual ac- tivity hero as there arc contracts) let for hundreds of business blocks and dwellings, miles of streets arc to be /graded and asphalted during' the season and what was wild prairie land two years ago, will at the end of the season give place to graded streets and rows of pretty villas. The class of proi)crty that is being erected in this city is of the best and commands big rentals so that proi)erty is a .sure invest- ment and will be for ten years at) least. One feature that strikes a person is the perfect unanimous feel ing of confidence in the future of tho city and country. One never hears a pessimistic uttcranec of the slightest nature, no one entertains a doubt of the security of any in-* vestment, and even the imssibility of a bad crop does not Jjut fear into, the merchants, as there are so many hundreds pf aore.s worked through out this vast territory now, that if one section had a misadventure an other would make it up, but the prospects for a crop were never beb ter, as the quantity of snow this winter has protected the ground! and will leave it in good shape for, early working. Farm lands are al- ready .selling rapidly and there is a stiff movement in city property as well. “

The high price of wheat has given a favorable reaction as agianst tha short crop last year, and farmers realized about . as well as with a full crop, or I should say, a big crop for last season’s was more than an average crop though not as large as the two years preceding it

If you know of any of thhe people from the good old Count,-, who are coming to this part off world with a view of taking up land, J can put them ^ext to some good propositions in that line, as I have an interest in some of the best lands in Manitoba and the N.tV.Ti as well as some fine city property;

- I hope tlie News is still progress ing, I was pleased to receive the Xmas number and 'so were all the

Glengarrians.

Kind regards to all at the News office. . i

A stylish suit. The man looks neat. He feels neat. He smiles back. The world looks brighter. Pessimism all gone. "We did it And all for 515.00. 'We take a pessimist And make and optimist.
