The dieallowment by the Federal 001%1w:unmet of the British Columbia Act, excluding Japanese from that province, raises a question of Imperial importance. The disallowreent was the work of the Dominion Govern - meat, but the latter acted upon the advice of the Imperial authorities. It, is a gaestiou of Imperial importance. The disallowed. by the Dominion. Gov- ernment if the Imperial Government hadn't made the requeste The epi- sode serves to emphasize the feet that we are an integral part of the British Empire and that we lined, consider the iuterests of the Empire, as well asour own, in enacting legislation affectiag foreign countries. True it is, we can make, and do make, whatever tariff we please against foreign countries, but in other matters, such as copy- right, the making of treaties, etc., we can net only through the Imperial Government. The act which has just been disallopeed is within the scope of the.Cartadian constitution. The ques- tion naturally arises whether the Herne Government was justified in re. questing us to withdraw legislation that was undoubtedly in the interests of the province tbat enacted it. If Canada can make its own tariff, why shouldn't it be allowed to make its own regulations regarding foreign im- ixtigrients? The interference of Great Britain in this unibter will only encour- th eal to the NOTES AND COMMENTS. It is well understood that the dis- satisfaction of the Zeiberals with the Senate is becau be majority is Con- servatiye. If t majority of the Sen- ators were Liberal all would. be lovely, and the cry for Senate reform or Sen- ate abolition weuld not be heard in the land. The objection to the Senate is, at the base, objection to the political complexion of the majority, and not to its constitutional composition, or mode of appointment. The intense desire of the Liberal patty to control the Senate politically, compels it to become more or less partizan in char- acter and action. They will not need to remain very long ill power to ob- tain their hearts' desire. The Senate is composed of 81 members, 27 of whom are Liberals. This gives the Conser- vatives 27 raaj ority at the present eime. All that is required to giye the Liberals a majority is the vacation of 14 Con- servative seats by death or otherwise, to be filled. with Liberal appointees. + If Canadians kept their money for the development of mineral enterprise in their own country, the mining ex- citement could take no great amount of cash out of Canada. Money spent on the purchase of shares in Canadian mines is not taken out of the control of the Canadian banks. Money which. goes away into Camp Republic, for in- stance, or goes away in the name of Camp Republic, is deposited in the National Bank of the State of Wash- ington and. returns no more. Finan- cial experts say that there is a real danger that the store of capital in the country will be lessoned by the inroads which are being made onthe bank re- serves for the benefit of the United States stock peddlers. The country papers are full of the glittering United States prizes which tempt some peo- ple to take their money out of the banks, and other people to borrow money from the banks. The indefin- ite continuance of this process of trad- ,eng Canadian cash for shares in the " State of Washington gold mines must result in decrease of the bank reserves in Canada and an increase in the rates of interest. Labor union strikes are being an - Bounced in rapid succession. There are the section men on the Grand Trunk system and the London street railway operatives as well as members of minor orgenizations, out, on strike. The latest addition to thelist is the Ole- yeland trolly operatives' union. The differences between the men and res- Peetiye compa.mes appear to be slight, but the sympathy offered by the pub- lic in behalf of the strikers make them firm in their demands. In London it is but a few months since the railway employees Ieft work. An amicable settlenaelit was then made and tbe men returned to work. The second strike of a few days ago was over the discharge of an employee, whom the union thought should not be dis- missed, and the men now submit a code of rules to the company, which might indicate that they desire to con- trol the road. if the public spoke out I /magi y, thei sym pathy is not with the men, but with the company. In private conversation witla a great mealy of London's business men, the writer brougbt out the fact bltat, sym- pathy is with the company this time, bue in order to keep peace with the verious unione, "we" said the business men, have to appear on their side ; if otherwise they would all boycot us." This swine 8. sad state of affairs.

Mr( Sohn Wein Sr., of Stephen, left last 'week to visit his native herne an Germany, He expecte to be abseet al weeke, age o er nations to app Home Government when adverse leg- islation of any kind is threatened by Canada. It will tend to weaken and belittle us in the eyes of foreign coun- tries. The exclusion of Chinese, Jap- anese and other peoples from Canada is a purely local question, and if Great Britain had presented the matter to the Government of Japan in tbat light she would haye had a good and suffic- ient excuse for refusing to intercede on behalf of the laps. If Great Brit- ain undertakes to square Canadian legislation with the whole 'outside world she will have a big contract on her bands. Wouldn't it be better on her part to cite our autonomy as an argument against her interference in all such cases? We think so, Besides, it is not likely that British Columbia will submilto interference in her local affairs, when such interference works to her material disadvantage,as in this case. Local autonomy, we imagine, will finally be conceded. - Toronto World. The Hon. J. I. Tarte's wretched slanders upon tbe poor Methodists of Anticosti promise to develop into an issue of some acerbity. The Metho- dists will hardly be satisfied to let the matter drop, if the strong pronounce- ments of the various annual confer- ences mean anything. The Montreal Witness takes the side of the slander- ed Methodists and says: "The re- petition of these libels and insults in their most aggravated and aggravat- ing form by the organ of the Liberal governinent in this city, as translated in this paper, is evidently meant to be a proclamation of war to the knife and a challenge to the Methodists to. do what they can against those who can- not adduce even an intelligent reason or occasion for their gratuitious cam- paign of insult. The minister of pub- lic works was asked to state the fads upon which he based the charges made under the privileges of parliament against the Fox Bay settlers of having lured vessels to destruction on the rocks, and he has never been able to state one fact or to adduce one tittle of eyidence. instead of this, his per- son& orga,u repeats the charges and giyes way to rage in a series of wild and impotent threats of the terrible things the minister of public works is going to do if the Methodists do not bow in silence to his libels." A Blenheim farmer, in order to bave his money safe from burglars hid it in a rag bag, and his wife sold the rags, money and all to a rag man. Some time afterwards the farmer wanted to make use of the coin, but it was gone. The rag man was located and the• money got back. There was $85 all told. The people of Palmerston were greatly shocked .on hearing of the sudden and tragic death a Harry Best, which occurred at Lucknow on Tuesday evening, June 6th. He was engaged in coupling an engine to a car when he was caught in the coup- ling, which crushed and penetrated through his body, causing almost in- stant death. Deceased was only 21 years of age. A despatch says: That times are prosperous in the Canadian North- west, is shown by the fact that la- borers are very difficult to find, either in the provinces or the Territories. The problem is fast becoming a ser- ious one for the railway and the farm- er. At the present moment the Cana- dian Pacific railway is badly in need of 300 additional men on its western division. But the men cannot be got for love nor money. Tempting wages have been held out as an inducement to laborers to enter the service of the company, and the Northwest has been scoured in search of men but none are to be had. Two accidents happened in the tovvn- ship of Downie within the last few day's, and both of them, were to little children. A day or so ago,s, little four year old girl, the youngest child of Mr. Ephraim Dunsmore, farmer, Ein- bro road made a terrible mistake and thank quite a large portion of the con- tents of a bottle of ,carbolic acid, burning her mouth, throat and stom- ach very severely, She is now consid- ered out of danger and is rapidly re- covering. A serious accident heppen- Ied Friday evening on the farm of Mr, Harry Raper of Etarniony, when his four year old ion, Arthur, was run over and severly injured by a geavel wagon, Mr. Raper was drawing gra vol on the back parb of his farm, and the little boy in some way fell in feont, of the hind wheels one of which pass- ed over his body.

Co. New Riohniond, Wis., June 14. -One hundred, and seventy-five killed and 400 wounded -in Monday niglet's tornado, Is - the estimate of 'casualties reoeived at 11 oaalook yesterday by General Manager Scott of the Omaha road. The storm stattolt the Omaha at Boardman and fol- lowed the track to New Riehmond 1.4 hissed through New Richmond from south to north and levelled the center of Ii1io city. People were penned in and scores buried alive, On the street from the depot, starting with Henry Beal & Company's store through to the Hotel Nieolet, on both sides of the street, every building is gone and only the most in- complete information as to the killed ,and wounded was obtainable In the morning. Very Sad Are the Scenes. Indescribably sad aro the scenes of desolation wrought by Monday night's tornado, that has practioally swept out of existence the prosperous little city of New Richmond. Out of 500 houses and store buildings, comprising the toWn, fully 800 weee wreaked by tiro storm or destroyed by Are. Almost every family has one or more Members among the dead, injured or missing, and little groups are seen everywhere searching, by the light of lanterns or torthes, for loved ones who may be buried in the piles of debris on every hand. Nifty -Four Bodies Found. With frantic energy the search has been .conduoted all day, and up to 9 &dock last night 54 bodies had been found; although the number of dead certainly will reach 100 or more. These have for the most part been taken to the Catholic and Congregational Churobes, which, although in the very edge of the, storm's path, miraculously escaped Its fury. In these temporary morgues the sights are such as to touch the hardest heart, as the grief-stricken living recognize in bodies, horribly mang1eci and often dismembered, the reinains of missing dear ones. The wounded found temporary asylums in the uninjured dwellings on either side of the path of the storm, where doctors and nurses from nearby eities and towns are doing heroie work without sleep or rest. As many as possible of the injured, whose chances for recovery are considered good, are being sent to St. Paul and Minne- apolis, where they will have better care. ANOTHER Trottitort. Twelve Dead Bodies Counted in a Her- man Street. Omaha, Neb., June 14.-A tornado struck the town of Herman, Washington County-, last night and wrought fearful destruction: .A. conductor on an evening train from Sioux City, Iowa, says not a building is left standing in the town and that ho counted 12 dead bodies in the streets. The fatalities will probably num- ber 50 or more. The entire eastern por- tion of Nebraska was being swept by a terrific rain, wind and electric storm last night. The streets of Omaha were flooded., and the play of lightning was fearful. A Ten -Year Lighting Contract, Hamilton, June 14. -At a joint meet- ing of the special electric lighting com- mittee and the Board of Works last night, the offer of the Cataract Power Company to light the city for a term of years at the expiration of the present contract was considered, The company's offer was: $85 a lamp per year up to 425 lamps; from that number to 500, 882.50 a lamp. It was figured out that at those rates a saving of $2,500 a year would be effected. Tho present contract rate is $91 a lamp per year. After discus- sion, it was resolved to enter into a ton - year contract on the agreement that, if at the end of five years the contract price was not satisfactory, the contract could be terminated by giving a year's notice. Manager Lydon agreed to put in 400 lights at 885 each yearly. Important Railway nein OTS.

It *lasted a couple of hours and it is believed the Ministers finally determined upon the policy to be adopted towards the Trans- vaal. The Secretary of State for the Colonies, Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, answering a question in the House of Commons yes- terday, said the Government would wait full reports of the recent conference at Bloemfontein, between President Kruger and the British high commissioner, Sir Alfred Milner, before sending the latter further instruations. Mr. Chamberlain points out a policy that would remove all pretext for intervention and suggests a conference between Sir Alfred Milner and President Kruger, in which ho leaves Milner a free hand, laying stress upon the matter of franchise in the Transvaal, and instructing the British representative that ff his suggestions in this regard are not fairly received he need not urge any further attempt at disoussion. The Pacific Cable. In answer to a question in the House of Commons yesterday, the Secretary of State for the Colonies, Mr. Joseph Cham- berlain, said the discussion between the Imperial and Colonial Govermnents with regard to tho proposed Pacifto cable con- tinued.

An Operation Evaded. MR. R. A. SIZE, OF INGERSOLL, ONT., TELLS HOW IT WAS DONE. Symptoms of Appendicitis -The Way They Were Relieved -The Suffer- er Now Well and Working Eyery Day' From the Chronicle, Ingersoll, Ont. In February, 1898, Mr. • R. A. Size was taken veey ill, and was confined to his home for several weeks. We heard that he was to go to the hospital to have an operation performed, but the operation never took place, and as he Inc started to work again and in apparently goad health, we investi- gated the ease and found that he has been using Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Palle People. Mr. Size is a highly re- spected citizen of Ingersoll, having resided here for over thirty years, and has been a faithful employee at Messrs. Partlo & Son's flouring mills foa over nineteen years. When asked by a Chronicle reporter whether lie would give an interview for publication, telling the nature of his disease and his cure, he readily consented. Mr. Size gave the details of his illness and cure as follows: - "In February I caught a heavy cold which seemed to settle in .my left side. The doctors thought it was neuralgia, of -the nerves. , It remained. there for some time and then moved to my right side in the region of the appendix. We ap- plied everythiug, and had fly blisters on for -48 hours. They never even caus- ed a blister and did the pain no good. The doctors came to the conclusion that the appendix was diseased and would have to be removed. The pain was very great at, times, and there was such a stiffness in my ankles, &so in my hand, and pain all over my body. The day and date was set for an oper- ation, and I was reconziled to it. About a week before I was to go to the hos- pital my wifewasreading the Chronicle. She read an account of a man who had been cured by the use of Dr. Willianas' Pink Pills. The symptoms of the,dis- ease were so much like mine that she became interested and wanted nie to give the pills a trial. I had little faith in the pill but as my wife seemed to be anxious that I should take them, I consented. The day for the operation had now arrived. and I told the doc- tors tbat I did not think I. would go to .the 'hospital for 'a while as I was feel- ing better. I contibued the pills, and was greatly surprised and pleased with the result. I continued to improve, and have long since given up all idea of an operation. When I started to use the pills; I was unable to walk, and suffered something awful with the pain in my side. It was just five weeks from the time that I started the use,of the pills until I was able to walk again and I bad been doctoring three months before that, and I have been working ever since. Altogether I have taken sixteen boxes of the pills, and they have done me more good than all the doctor's medicine I ever took 'n niy life. I have now every confidence in Dr. Willhun's Pink Pills mad think that they are the best medicine in the world to -day. Certainly had it not been for them, I would bave bad to go through tbe ordeal of an operation andperhaps would not have been living now.
