JAPAN TIIREATENS CHINA
Serious Trouble Arising Out of a Fight
Between Soldiers.
A despatch front Seoul, Corea,
says: A serious fight between Chi-
nese and Japanese soldiers at Kan-
tao, Northern China, threatens to
result in trouble between China
and Japan. The details and date
of the fight aro nut accurately
known, but it is reported that the
Chinese were, the aggressors. They
fired a fusillade at a police station
occupied by Japanese troops. After
fighting for several hours, many
men on both sides being killed or
wounded, the Chinese withdrew.
The Japanese were reinforced lat-
er, and prepared to pursue the
Chinese. They apparently gave no-
tice of their intention to the Pekin
authorities, whereupon China for-
bade their entering Chinese terri-
tc•ry. Japen protested, and it is
reported she declared that unless
she was given immediate satisfac-
tion Japanese troops would cross
the frontier.

Spanish Capital a Spendthrift
Town and Devoted to Gossip.
The note of Madrid is frivolity.
It is a spendthrift town. Nowhero
do so many •-eoplo of modest means
keep carriages, or at least Here
them. The automobile has suppli-
ed a new outlet to an old passion,
says the London Times.
Nowhere do so many people who
cannot afford to have a. motor
driver, or to buy regular supplies
of petrol (which, to be sure, is both
dear and bad in Spain), keep an an-
t, mobile. Therefore they turn out
now and again for a short run at
high speed to their own glorification
and the danger of the public. As
for that public, it lives in•thc streets
and in a perpetual state of talk.
What London or Paris news
comes through to Madrid, except
telegrams, is mostly gossip. Im-
l:ortant matters appear to interest
the Madrileno little. What did in-
terest him was when a young per-
son appeared on horseback in Hyde
Park in a Directorie costume. Fea-
ther headed and light heeled, the
Madrileno is, on toe other hand,
good natured and easy to live with.
Madrid women dress well, even
very well, and the charm of the
Spanish woman is never denied.
Modern Madrid is sometimes sup-
posed to be modelled on modern
Paris, but the writer's view is that
DERAILMENT.tl•ere is nothing Parisian about
Madrid, except the skin.
Paris works desperately hard, is
intensely interested in serious
things and producers, thinkers and
men of intellectual and scientific
eminence. Madrid certainly does
not work hard, does not appear to
he much interested in anything but
frivolity, and few of her greatest
men, even statesmen, are much
more than names.
Letter class of inilc•h cows were in
demand at 435 to $70 each. Prices
were about 50c lower in sheep and
lambs. Select hogs continued to

RUSH TO STURGEON LAKE.'!'ho Reports of Gold Finds are
Very Encouraging.
A despatch from Port Arthur
says: Gold prospectors are quietly
dropping into the Sturgeon Lake
district, and among these are many
who have been prospecting in and
around Cobalt. Men who have
come out from the works on the
Grand Trunk Pacific say that there
are many looking for the precious
metal, and that a large number of
them will stay in the country all
winter. Sonia of these who have
visited the camps say that there are
sure to be many more and richer
finds, and that within a very short
time there will bo a gold rush into
the country which will rival some of
those which have now become his-
torical. Several parties have left.
Port Arthur in the past few days

his calls to order, and continued to

the fact that there were people

members who were insisting that

very well for you to cry order, you,
who are well fed." Finally the
Speaker called on the Sergeant -at -

shouted, addressing the Laborites:
"I call upon the t raitors to their
