The de- mand for the Dominion's manatfac- tures extends from Europe to Aus- tralia, Finland wants our flour, one having a particularly coarse ground, the so-called "granular" flour is desired. This is spoken of as a partioutarly good opening for the Canadian article, as there is at present no import cbity. Dressed oak spokes are much. In de- mand in Wales. Madras, Podia, wants cheap jewelry of alt kinds, cheap watches and musical instru- ments, It is understood that sev- eral Dominion firms are working tmv 4315 trade.

Stich enquiries are daily in- creasing and offer first-class oppor- tunities for the extension of Can- adian trade. MAY PRESS CLAIM United States Cannot Get Satis- faction Fre= Sultan. A 'despatch to the London Chron- icle from Constantinople says that since Leishman, the American Minister, returned two months ago ho has been vainly seeking an audi- ence of the Sultaull to deliver an autograph Lotter from President Roosevelt, who in the letter calls his Majesty's attention to the claime of the Amerlean missionaries in Ar- menia and elsewhere, and asks for their prompt settlement, Tito Sul- tan, being aware of Mr. Leishman's Instructions to prese the claims, purposely p'ostponed the 'desired au- dience, Mr, Leishme.n's patience was ultimately exhausted, and he visited TewIlk Pasha, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and required to know within three days \shalom' the Sultan would receive him or not. Tewilk Pasha promised that his Maj- esty would receive him after the Ilairam festival; but the promise has not been fulfilled. Mr. Leishman Is naturally exasperated, and it would not be surprising If American war- ships were again adored to Turkey. CHINESE ALARMED.

A a LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY, Doings o4 Our Law Makers at Toronto. NEW RAILWAY; Crown Attorney Curry • introduce( a deputation of American and Can adieu capitellets to Premier Moss and laid before hint n proposal to construct 11. railway from lmNeA9 'Sean( to Lake ObItibee.

CHAISITAlita INSTITUTIONS, The provincial inspector of chari- table institutions, Dr. Chamberlain, in a statement ho has PI -Timms', shows that there aro thirty -ono clumitable institutloes in Toronto, exclusive of the asylum, receiving 55,203.24 from the Government, and last year 2,571 persons were cared for in them. AB far as he can ascot. - thin, he says; the city ;lids twenty sevea of them to the extent of 565,- 608,06, and in addition to this spent last year 51.1,000 for outdoor relief work, making a total of $76,- 608.07 spent for charitable pur- poses. In the other towns and cities of tho province there aro 101 similar institutions, which cared for 4,286 Inmates last year, and re- ceiveil $117,003.05 from the Gov- ernment, and thus, Dr. Chamberlain Points out, it will bo seen that To- ronto gets more inoeoy in propor- tion from the Government than the province as a whole. THE canimISSIoN, Hon. Geo, W. Ross announced the personnel of the commission in the Gamey charges-Ohief Justice Fat- conbridge and Chancellor Boyd, They aro to investigate all the charges by Mr. Gamey and all mat- ters which they may deem related thereto. They are empowered to call witnesses, and have the scene right to administer oaths and proceed in any way as High Court judges. No witness can be excused from an- swering questions 00 the ground. that it might incriminate himself. Stenographic reports of the case are to be taken, and the Commissioners will return them to the House, with any report they may seo Mt to make. The Commissioners have power to investigate not only the Carney charges, but any charges aris- ing out of or relating to those charges which any member of the 1Touse may see fit to put in in writ- ing. DF,PUTATIONS. A deputation from the Sault Ste, Mario Board of Trade asked the Gov- ernment that permission bo given to a new furniture factory at the Soo to cut hardwood mid pine. It was suggested that each employe of tho factory be given 160 acres of set- lers' lands on the ueual terms, and that the factory, through these, be allowed to get the wood from the land. The Premier promised to give tho request consideration. A deputation from Victoria Gounty saw the Government and requested that the late regarding traction en- gines be amended so that it will not be applicable to engines used for threshing purposes or for road - making material.

A LONG -CHERISHED PLAN Germany Would Take Rolland, and France Belgium. A London despatch says: The gen- eral impression in the Netherlanicis is that Germany is only awaiting a favorable moment and excuse for annexing the country. This impres- sion has been growing for several years, especially in view of the fact that if Franco shoul4 be placated by the suggestion to take Belgium, there would be no protector to wbom Holland could appeal with any hope of a ravens°. Tho rail- way trouble in Holland is caushig uneasiness that Germany 1011y look on this as a good chance to carry out her designs.

And Nearly Fifty Passengers In- jured, A de:State& from Guelph says: Pinned. in a wrecked paseenger car Whic3i was lying on Rs side in five feet of icy water, two little babies, one the daughter of Mr, end Mrs. Illueton, of Thesealon, and the other the daughter of Mr, and Mrs, Irwin, of Niagara Palle, met their death cat Wednefeciety afternoon, The Grand Trunk train for $O 111 11111139- t011 1111(1 in termed late northern points, was late 111 leaving Guelph, and 111 consequence was traveling at a high rate of speed in en endeavor to make up lost time, Three were about 75 passengers on board, and the train was in charge of Conduc- tor J. J. Lillie and 13rtglneer Hazel- wood. For 11. time everything wont well, but about four miles the other eide of ill'arclen, a flag station four miles east of this city, the rear teuelc of the last ear, Mr some un- explained reaeson, jumped the track and was wreathed free of the ear. Tho dragging add bumping of the passenger coach crossed the other ears to leave the track, and for ful- ly three hiondrod yards the whole train, except the engine, was trem- bling on the edge or a ten -foot em- bankment, It was doubtless owing to this fact that so few of the pas- sengers were dangerously wounded, as they all were *apnea of clangor and had prepared themselves for the shoels OVER THE TRESTLE. Tho crippled train at lost reached a low trestle bridge, crossing a small creek, which was molten by the spring rains. The tottering bag- gage and smoking cars pitched off the trestle into the water, and dragged the passenger coaoh down with them, all three cries rolling over on their sides, an41 resting in swift -running water from four to Ave feet in. depth. Tho shock was so severe that the smoker and the passenger coanh split open, the seats broke from their fastenings, and the torror-strieken passengers were thrown in a struggling heap into the water. Mr. and 'Mrs. Illuston and their baby girl were in the bottom of the pile and suffered severe injuries. Tho little 0110 was in the water for fully nye minutes, and 31311011 rescue(1 was almost resuseitated by Dr. Savage, but the thread of life was too week. Mrs, Huston, although herself badly Nett, and unable to free herself, was frantically calling for help for her baby, and her imploring calls, with tho groans and entreaties of the other injured passengers, wore sim- ply heartrending. TYventually the mono fortunate passengers freed themselves and be- gan to seek an exit. After consider- able trouble they succeeded in breaking a hole in the door and smashing tho upper windows, and through these apertures the wound- ed wore removed from the ear. A number of farmers living near the steno of the wreck were soon at hankl, and assisted in rescuing the wounded, while one of their number hastened to Marden and reported the news of the wreck. Word was sent to Fergus and to Guelph, and special auxiliary trains wore des- patched to the seem of the disaster, bearing physicians and nurses. CANAL UNDER UNION JACK Old Maps of Alaska Have Been 'Unearthed at Quebec. A 7A1ontreal despatch says: Mr. Joseph Pope, C. M. G., Under -Sec - rotary of State, has been searching for the past few clays among the archives of the Chateau de Ramesay, in this city, for material to promo the Canadian contention in the Alas- kan boundary dispute.

A Delighted Father Handsomely Remunerated Thomas E. lt Ruchale ss Eme1:1131M ee place every day in Englund as well as America, where advertisements aro conStantlY appearing in the Damns; offering sub- stantial emus of money to healthy subjects willing to give in MAMA so many stitutre inches of thole "outer' covering," The operation is a painful and tedious one, and often performed without chloeoform, for anaesthetic/no found to retard the action of the skin and thereby mini- mize the chances of successful graft- ing. Last lirey, Miss Theresa Dela- Minty, of Syramete, was badly burned by an explosion of gasoline. The doctors did everything 11) their power to heel the wounds, but without success. For over 501'00 months Mims Delahanty was an in- mate or the Homeopathic Hospital at Syracuse, getting rather worse than better, until at last it was de- cided that the only thing to save her life was extensive grafting. Thirty square inches of human skin at least were required, ancl, as this was a large order, Dr. Francis Ryall advertised for a person will- ing in sacrifice this amount of cuti- cle. The advertisement was answer- ed by a mun from Troy, who agreed to allow the required quantity of slein to bo taken froot his mons in return for the not extravagant suns of 592.60. The agreement was drawn up and signed, and the opera tion has been so successful that Miss Delahanty is NOW PERFECTLY WELL. A somewhat similar case was that of Miss Bertha Deenan, who bas lately been an inmate of the Me- Einley Hospital, Trenton, NOW Jersey. This girl had the misfortune to burn her upper IM so severely that for over a year it had been an open wound. After every known remedy bad been tried and had prov- ed useless, Drs. 111cOallagh and Brown decided on grafting. An ads vertisement was placed 10 a local paper, and within thirty nunutes of its appearance a young fellow rush- ed up to the hospital and peal/ley asked to see the house -surgeon. He expressed great relief on learningi that he was in plenty of time, and cheerfully agreed to the loss of as much skin as was needed at the price of 55 per square inch. It sub- sequently transpired that, this was the tenth occasion on which the young man had sold portions of his skin. He was healthy and strong, and, in consequence, the operation performed on Miss Deenan's lip was entirely successful. Probably the man who got the best return for twenty square inches of skin was Thonms E. Rush, of Staten Island. Three years age Rush saw an advertisement M a New York journal asking if an, healthy young man or woman would come forward and sacrifice twenty square inches of cuticle to SAVE THE LIFE OF A CHILD The advertiser added a note to the effect that owing to circumstances there would be no remuneration, Thera was not an overwhelming number of replies ; In fact, that from Thomas E. 'Rush was the only 011et He went to the address given, Avhicti proved to be a small hospital, and. after seeing the doctors, cheerfully consented to undergo the operation. Rush was a mechanic and then out of work. A few days after the oper- ation be was invited into the sur- gery and was there introduced to the father of the little patient, a pleasant -looking man of forty-five. Grasping the meehartic's hand he thanked him warmly for the sacrifice he had made. "X purposely put 'no remunera- tion,' " explained the delighted father, "lest I should get hold of selfish subject, T. don't want any mean man's skin on my child. Here is something to go on with," he added, handing hiiit a five -hundred - dollar bill, "and if you- will call at my office you shall have as good Et start in life as man ever had." And ho kept his promise. LORD ROBERTS COMING Announces His Intention of Visit ing America.
