The (!rand Trunk Railway re-
established coma:mi :at' between
the Lake Huron terminus and the

ea at the cost of derailing two mogul
engines and *snowplow, which it took
the Stratford auxiliary a day'' work
to replace. Aleut Illwll on Friday it

that had seen doing the •'humping'
act, coming up from 1,lintun at a pan

and proceeded to put it on in their

The track through the. grove was
snowed in several fret deep and two

engines behind swung it completely
round with its no a towards Clinton.
Then the foremost rugine jumped the

George Dawson's front door. Some of

In May, 1906. the Canadian postal

thevwould no longerpermit
American
newspaper' 1 r tial and pan d
mailed 10 points in Canada at the
second-class, or pound rate, of lost•
age. 11p to that time theta had been
no postal barrier between Canada
end the United States with respect to
the transmission of newspapers and
periodicals through the mails. Papers
deposited at postofliees in the Cnited
States were delivered in Canada with.
out payment of additional postage.
The notice of abrogation of this
agreement by Canada was protested
by the Visited States postal authori-
ties, but as Canada had a legal right
to abrogate this feature of the 0011-
4ention. the protest of Postmaster -
General Meyer was without avail.
After nearly out year under this
agreement aIle Canadian, postal au-
thorities reached the eonclutunn that
the conditions which they had forced
)upon American publishers were not
1.. their advantage. and sought a re-
opening of the question. As a result,
a .:ew agreeiftent has been reached
to the effect that legitimate period•
teals and magazines Ivey apply for
and secure entry at the Canadian
second-class rate of postage at any
office in Canada which may. he 'veiled -
ed for that purpose. The Canadian
authorities give assurance that all
applications for such entre will re-
ceive favorable consideration if the
periodical or magazine is of the le-
gitimate sort and not primarily de-
signed for advertising purposes.
A further agreement has been reach-
ed under which legitimate daily news-
papers may be mailed in the United
States to postofcea in Canada at the
pound rate of postage. This is a re-
storation of the old order of things
so far as the legitimate daily news•
papers are concerned, and is n step in
that direction for the magazines and
other periodicals. while American
publishers do not under the new sr-
raugement secure all that it is believ-
ed they are entitled to. -Postmaster-
General Meyer accepted the recent
proposals of ' C'anad'a regarding them
as the entering wedge which would
til imately' lend -to the restoration in
their entirety, of the conditions that
formerly prevailed.
A telegranl has been received nt
Washington from the deputy post,
master -general of Canada, advising
that the public and pestlnasters of
the Dominion were notified that tlr
new agreement had gone into effect
on the 6th lust.
It is understood that the Ileneatot
for American newspaper,' and period-
icals had become so great that aIle
Canadian postal authorities could ea
longer resist the pressure for a modi-
fication of their fernier action.
WINE FROM THE MAPLE.
Surprising Statement In New Encyclo-
pedia Quoted In London,
The recent dinner of the Canada
Club at the Ritz Hotel, London, was
largely attended. The president, Mr.
1'. W. Taylor, who spoke eloquently,
toasting "Canada and the Governor -
Genera," made an amusing. reference
to an encyclopedia "recently revised
and brought up-to-date" by a Cam-
bridge professor, which informed the
world that the maple tree produced a
light and refreshing wine much liked
by the natives of Canada and also
yielded a syrup which when crystaliz-
ed supplied the Dominion with sugar.
He proceeded to criticize the United
States in a humorous and sometimes
sub -acid fashion, emphasizing the fstt•
anrial serenity of Canada, which was
undisturbed during the financinl
storm over the border. (Cheers.) If
Canada had been to any extent 1111 -
wise her follies were those of lusty
youth and were forgivable. (Applause.)
The remaining speeches glowed with
confidence in Canada's future. Ad-
miral Douglas piously hoped the Ad-
miralty would restore a fleet to Cana-
dian waters. They could roan one
ship entirely with officers willing to
serve there.
Major D. W. Steven. dwelt on the
question of transportation in entinda
and the development of her terminal..
Signor Marconi expressed his grati-
tude to the Dominion Government,
which first gave him practical en.
cnuragement. • 11e declared the wire.
less system of the St. Lawrence weal
unequaled in the world. He would
spare no 'Mort to show that the en-
couragement given him by Canada
should not be throwu away. He re-
marked that he had just demonstrat-
ed to the Admiralty officials what
could bo done in the way of wireless -
in, transmission screw the Atlantis-.
The Earl of Ranfurley, Sir E. Wert
and Gen. Lawrie were among the
guests.
