The C. P. 11., and Mechanical Unions Fettle
Their Difficulties.
A despatch from Winnipeg says:
The question at issue between the
C. P. R. and the Federated Mech-
anical Unions of the company,
which have been a subject of con-
ference, have been amicably set-
tled and a schedule and working
agreement eminently satisfactory
will be the result. A matter of
prime importance to the older mon
especially is their reinstatement
to the pension roll, from which they
were removed after tho strike.
This has been conceded by the com-
pany. It has also been agreed that
any of the mechanics who struck
last Summer on the Western lines,
and who have not yet been taken
back, shall bo at once re-engaged
if they desire. A number of rnen at
Medicine Hat and several Western
points will be benefited by this.
As a result of the conference and
the conciliatory spirit in which both
sides approached the consideration,
it is expected that a long period of
harmonious relations has been in-
augurated. The schedules and ag-
reements have nut yet been signed
actually, but there is no doubt they
will be immediately upon the re-
turn of (;rant Hall, superintendent
of motive power for the company in
the West. Only comparative minor
platters of detail remain to be
settled.
The company has been success-
ful in its contention for separate
and distinct schedules for the East-
ern and 11 astern lines, but the
actual composition of the schedule
committee to conduct the Eastern
negotiations has not yet been de-
finitely e:ettled. The Western l'' nes
desire representation thereon, but
it. is not likely that this will be
agreed to. A joint committee to
ntept in Winnipeg and Montreal,
vever, is by no means an im-
possibility. The Western unions
have secured the closed shop and
the integrity of their organizations,
which was somewhat impaired by
the result of the strike.

UNITE TO REPEL ATTACK
British and Germans Fight Shoulder to
Shoulder in Northern Nigeria.
A despatch from London says:
Remarkuble details of the on-
slaught of a thousand cannibal
natives upon the Anglo -German
Boundary Commission in unexplor-
ed country in Northern Nigeria
have reached London. A feature
cf the action was that British and
German troops fought together to
repel the native attack.
At 5 o'clock on Christmas Day
the combined Anglo -German force
marched out from Sonkwalla, an
unmapped place on the frontier,
and subsequently divided into two
columns, the German commissioner,
Lieut. von Stephani (Rent:r's
Agency states) being in command
of one, and Capt.. Heathcote of
the other.
Both forces soon became lost in
the dense undergrowth and high
elephant grass. The British heard
the enemy hooting and calling in
the distance. They encountered
the greatest difficulty, the track be-
ing completely {hocked with trees,
while the natives bad also slug pits
sometimes as much as a hundred
yards long, and plentifully be-
stt'ewn the route with dangerous
spikes, which pierced the soldiers
feet. Eventually the column came
to open ground, by which time two
of the soldiers had been spiked
through the feet. The enemy at
once opened fire, but were repulsed.
The column then marched to an el-
evated position. The enemy now
offered a splendid target for the
Maxim, but the gun jammed, and
was out of action fur some tiuno.
At this moment the rattling of the
Germans' Maxim could be heard ou
the other side of the hills.
('apt. Heathcote having burned
some houses to indicate his where-
abouts to the German column, de-
scended to the enemy iu the open.
There a brisk running fight was
maintained, and the enemy were
finally driven off. Meantime a
third force, under Lieut. Homan,
which had ben despatched imus
Sonkw•alla, became engaged.
News of the German column was
only received on Inc return to
camp. Lieut. von Stephani report-
ed that at noon a very large force
surrounded the German column in
the bush and op Beed a heavy at-
tack, in which Lieut. von Stephan!
was wounded in two places, one of
his non-commissioned officers being
also hit on the wrist, and two men
being killed. For over an hour the
column was desperately engaged.
A second German non-commission-
ed officer was shotthrough the
sleeve while serving his Maxim. As
the column retired, the natives
made many attempts to rush it.
Although dangerously wounded,
Lieut. von Stephani brought the
column nut of action with great
gallantry, being assisted by ('apt.
Moore, R.E., who was attached to
the force.

BENEFITS OF s'ONTINU ITY.
The great advantage that the
Germans possess is the continuity
and certainty of the naval policy
that results from the measured ex-
pansion of the fleet, which begun
with the Nays• Law of 1898. was
doubled by that of b.1)0, and was
expanded and accelerated by the
amendments of 1903 and 1903. TNet
consequence of this definite and
ordered developments of the Ger-
man 111avy has been an enormous
increase in the shipbuilding re-
sources of the country.
The Germania yard nt Kiel has
grown enormously ; the Howl+u►d
yard has begun to build the largest
ships in aseociat' with it ; the
Vulkan yard at Stettin, which has
slips for the building of four large
ships nt the snme time, is opening
a new establishment on the Elbe,
for which a large drydoek is corn -
;Acting; Blenm and Voss, at Ham-
burg, are building the big cruiser-
hatt leships ; the Weser yard at Bre-
men has largely increased its ac-
commodation within the last two
year'.. so that it ten have on the
Mocks four large shipe at the Raine
time. and Schiclinu has opened an
establishment at hansig for the
target work, in addition to his
destroyer yard at laking.
