A London despatch says: Joseph Chamberlain !nada a speech on Wed- nesday evening to a gathering of 0,- 000 of his fellow -townsmen at Bing- ley bulli, Birnriegir un. It was by far 'the largest audience the former Colonial Secretary had faced during the fiscal campaign, and the enthusi- asm naturally exceeded the remark- able scenes witnessed in the others, and was orepheeizcq by the Ohaur berlatnite victory at tho previous municipal election in Birmingham Before Mr, Chamberlain arrived the vast audience kept shouting to Mrs. Chamberlain, "Where's Joe?" The speech was marked throughout by tumultuous enthusiasm, especial- ly at tho end, when with true dm uratic Instinet he drew from a piece of brown paper two euormous,' Neal - sized loaves of bread, representing the taxed and untaxed loaf, and holding them at arm's length, laughingly asked, "Which is which?" LITTLE ENGLANDERS. After dealing with conditions dur- ing the past fifty years under free trade, and quoting figures to sustain hfs argument, Mr, Chamberlain quoted Cobden as saying that the United States would eventually abandon manufacturing, and that "their worlcnien would go hack to the land and dig and delve for us." Americans, howover, Raid Mr. Cham- berlain, had not so conceived their national destiny, Behind the tariff wall they had built up their indus- tries, until they had reached a stage evilere, unsatisfied with the extent of their own markets, they were f i e d- ing those of the United Kingdom. Reverting to the question of a pre- ferential tariff for the colonies, Mr. Chamberlain charged those opposed to his plans with being Little Englanders," lacking in the desire to bring the colonies closer to the Mother Country, and preferring to do more for strangers than for their own flesh and blood. Mr. Chamberlain spoke for nearly two hours, in the main repeating his former arguments, and appealing to the patriotism and self-interest of the people of the United Kingdom to sustain his 11sea1 project. TlES 'WITIi COLONIES. The gist of the speech was an ap- peal to -the 1!inglis13 people to lose no time in binding closer the emits of the Empire. 1t Britain were out of sympathy with the colonies and refused their oilers, 11 she could not co-operate In sustaining the Empire, she would lose her opportunity, and it might never recur. Then there should never be the bond of commer- cial union which atone time was the ideal of Lord Rosebery, and with no commercial bond they could nev- er secure that Imperial federation for which Lord Rosebely declared he was willing to die. A large party in the country regarded the colonies as a costly eneuniberanee. Ho was not quite sure whether the modern leaders of free trade shared those antiquated views, but at any rate, instead of appreciating the import- ance of Imperial unity, all they thought of was the unity of the Radical party, Continuing, Mr. Chamberlain said: "We reverenced and gloried in those family ties with the colonies, and no politician should induce us 1.0 do anything which would cause us to sacrifice them, I am not presumptions enough to pre- dict beforehand exactly what all these great States will do in return. I have full confidence, however, that they will do right. In the mean- while some facts are public proper- ty. We know that a preferential system has been asked for by all the colonies on three separate occasions, and asked for at two conferences over which I presided in London. "When I remember how all the col- onies responded to their allegiance and sent men by thousands, and paid out money during the recent war, I feel confident tlrat these mon negotiate without any fear of the re- sult, and that they 'Will show great generosity and patriotism." FRUIT OF MD QUALITY EXCELLENT ADVICE BY HR. G. HAROLD POWELL, At the Meeting of the American Pomologfcal Society, Meld at Boston. In an address at the recent annual meeting of tho American Pomologi- cal Society, held at Boston, Mr. G, Harold Powell gave some excellent adhice in regard to growing fruit of flret-class quality. Many of the points which he brought out were Acted with approval by Mr. W. A. MacKinnon, Chief of the Dominion Fruit Division, and are gives here for the benefit of Canadian Fruit growers. Mr. Powell recommended as summer apples for the United States, Reel Astrachan, Sweet Bough and :Williams; for autumn apples, Gravenstein and Alexander; for win- ter, the Greening, the Newton Pip- pin, which he stated had sometimes sold as high as $20.00 a barrel, the King, the Spitzenberg, Baldwin, Spy and Macintosh Red. Ire recommend- ed top grafting the King on two year old Spies, stating that in this way a vigorous tree bearing good crops would be obtained. Regarding the Ben Davis, lir. Powell made a very cutting criti- cism, declaring it had only one qual- ity to recommend It, namely, its color; and stating that uo fruit would take a prominent place in our markets or would continue to be a profitable ono for grocers, which de- pends upon a single virtue for its sale. The Champion grape received a similar castigation.. Its only virtue is its earliness, and this Mr. Powell thinks has made it one of the worst enemies of the grape grower, inas- much as tho price of the Champion at 'first very high, drops almost to nothing. Tho last price of the, Champion, or what the public are willing to pay after they have be- come acquainted with its wretched quality, fires the price for all other grape which follow, tbough they aro infinitely S1JT'ETtlO1t iN QUALITY to the Mann i nr. In other words, rook bottom p 1 es Iles -Mg been once fixed is is impo„sildu to get back to normal pl'i es. Mr. 1'oaell bpoke rather more kind- ly of the Mertes peach, but is of the opinion that it also is not an un- mixed blessing, to the fruit growers. it is a splendid shipper but has no quality, The co,rluelon to be drawn from 14tr. Powell's remarks Is that what - ,ever transient advantages may be ebtaiued by the grower from the pro- duction of inferior varieties, it is to bis permanent advantage, and it is bis only wise policy to produce the highest quality in cath sort of fruit ,which he ]Areae on the market, Striking testirnong to the value of suchadvice is fnrnislhed by some reports of fruit sales just received by the,I'rnit Division from London. England. On Oct. 7th, there were sold a largo member of Half -cases of Californian and other American lies s, Inolesthig"about a dozen varie- ties, The Sookel which is generally regarded as a peer of Shp highest quality, though 510011 in size, sola l''or 12e; this (Bout 1N'orceau for 16s dd the Galahad! (similar to our hose) for 11.s; the Cornice (ono of the vari- otios recommended by the Frlhit Di- vlsion) for lis to 12e. If we eon - 'Offset these prices with those for keit tet inferior quality, we must doflrlu e that the ;nglielinu 1 Wants prepared to pay for it. Bartletts, which are certainly above medium quality fetched 6s to 7s; Anjou 9s; Clalrgeau 7s to 7s Gd.; Duchess 8s. 9d. to 4s.; Hardy 2s. 6d. to 3s. 9d.; and Keiffers, which it is only fair to mention were "wet" only ten pence to is. a cask. Large quan- tities of Canadian apples sold on the same day brought all the way from 20s. to 25s. per barrel (the latter figure being for Ribstons), with the great majority at 15s. to las. On Oct. 12, half case of Cornice pears were sold by the salve firm for 11s. ed.; while the Duchess variety fetch- ed only 4s. 3d., these being the only two sorts of pears handled that day. Tho highest figure for apples on that date was 20s., again to the credit of No. 1 Ribstons, while the lowest prices were 12s. for No, 2 Fall Pip- pins, and 18s, for No. 2 Ribstones and Gravenstein. The wide varie tion of 10s. per barrel, between No. 1 and No. 2 Ribstone, is practicular- ly worthy of notice, indicating as it does that quality is sure to tell. BOXES FOR APPLES. In view of the scarcity and high price of apple barrels this season, and of the fact that in some dis- tricts farmers find it inrpossible to procure barrels at any price, the fruit Division recommends tho gest era! use of boxes. Those can be had knocked down, at alomost any saw mill for about eight cents each, and they should not cost more than ten cants each made up. As three boxes hold about as many apples as a barrel, they will be found much cheaper than barrels at fifty cents and upwards. The boxes should be well and strongly nailed, and should hold about forty pounds of fruit. The dimensions the boxes used by the Grimsby shippers are nine by twelve by eighteen inches, while the British Columbia standard box is ton by eleven by eighteen inches, these be- ing inside measul•oments in both cases. The boxes should be made of strong material not loss than five- eighths of an inch thick for the ends, and not lees than three eighths of an inch for the sides; the tops should have strips across the ends to prevent the weight of other pack- ages, piled on top, from bearing di- rectly one the fruit. It is also usual to leave open corners at the top and bottom for ventilation. Little or no packing material should bo used as purchasers like to find the pack- age quite full of limit. A street of cardboard at tlue, top and bottom well materially reduce the ami0unt of injury frau bruises. But it should be remembered that even in this year at scarcity of barrels, it will not do to ship anything bet first class fruit 10 boxes, as the reputation of the Oanadlan box and of the Canadian trade in general will greatly suffer if Inferior or common fruit is ex- ported xported in the box or any fancy pack- age. UNION 'WITH CANADA. Political Party Farmed in. New- foundland, A St. John's, Nike, despatch says: -A sonsetion has been created here by the formation by former I'reihlier Sir William Whifeway and former Attor'nry-General Donald 14tor1isor of a political party which will apponl to the country next year owl's policy having in view 5101011 with Canada, The new party will also oppose the present Bond ;Ministry and the regu 1ar Opposition O osrt ail lad 'Alfred a8 '- c b 'Alf c i or 51 y DEATHS FROM CONSUMPTION Statistics Show Falling Off in Mortality, A despatch from Toronto says: The returns received et the Provinci- al health Obfco show a largely de- creased number of deaths from con- sumption for last yea;' compared with some yours past, Tho deaths from consumption last yen-, 2,604, show a doormat of 549, compared with 1901, and 890, compared with 1900, when the deaths totalled 8,- 484.

While diphtheria has fallen off from the figures of last year there is this year a great increase in the number of scarlet fever cases for the Prov- ince as a whole. -�-1 MUTILATING CHILDREN. Cruelly Treated By Greeks and Sent Out to Beg. An Odessa despatch says t, -Revolt- ing discoveries bare been made lore concerning the practices of a Greek organization which has engaged in the business of importing Greek children, mutilating them and send - log them out to beg. Children have been lured In hundreds to North Cen- tral, and East Russia by promises of remunerative occupations. The ton- gues, eyes, faces, arms, and logs of tho victims have been mutilated, and in this condition they have been com- pelled to seek alms on the pretext that they were sufferers from Turk- ish barbarities in Macedonia. Printed circulars have been found en some of these children giving details of their cases, The poli.ee have made a number of arrests, and the public agitation is so great that soldiers are required to guard the prisoners, ARlIY OF IMMIGRANTS. Arrivals for the Past Ten Months Number 121,115. An Ottawa despatch says :-Tho Government returns show that 121,- 11.5 immigrants came to Canada dur- ing the ten months up to the close of October. Of this nuunber 47,8.11 were from the British Isles, 89,1116 from the United States, and 34.508 from various countries of Europe. During October alone 7,292 settlers reached Canada's shores, The department is planning for even a more vigorous canvass in the United ICingdom next season, and among the rural population of France and Belgium as well. Special literature is being prepared to assist in the flnmigratiou 'work in France acrd Belgium, and Mr. Wfallard, who is taking charge of this mission, leaves at once for France. 3t is un- derstood that Deputy Minister Smart will undertake the supervision of this work, as ho has of the special effort in the 13ritish Islesv BURNED TO DEATH. Boy Looked in House by Mother When She Went Out. A Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., despatch says : Two seven -roomed frame houses in Steelton, a western suburb of Sault Ste Mario, were destroyed by fire on Thursday afternoon, and in one the two-year-old son of Mrs. .names Stewart was burned to death, while another four-year-old boy was badly burned. The mother had gone downtown and left the two children locked in the house alone, The fire was well under way when discovered by the neighbors, and the oldest boy was saved with difficulty by 0. II. Courier, who brolco down the door and rushed through the flames. He did not know that the ha.by was in the house or he might have saved it. !loth houses were totally destroyed. Ono was occupied by Dan McLeod, and was.owned -by Ralph Connell, of Keswick, Ont. The other was owned by Mrs. Stewart, who occupied it. The loss is about $4,000; partly Covered by insurance. b LAYING OFF MEN. Does Not Mean Large Shrinking of Railway Business. A. Montreal despatch says :-A ear tain number of men have been laid off by the 0. P. R. at the local shops in the least end. It has been said that this is a prelude to a most significant shrinkage in C.

Partly for this reason, and partly on ac- count of under -cutting 01 prices Manitoba millers have lowered their prices 20e a barrel for all grades; this, howover, is not likely to last long, as freights will go up 10c in a hock or two, and that much must (hon be added to the price of flour. Theo has been a reduction also equal to about 1:0c a barrel on Ontario flour in bags, but the eear'clty of barrels- keeps up the price of barreled ilour.

Toronto, Nov. 10 To -day's re- coiptsat the City Cattle Market were 91 ear loads, consisting of 1,800 head of cattle, 1,727 sheep and lambs, 1,706 hogs, and 57 calves. Tho run was heavy, but of the cattle, light stockers and feeders, and rough mixed butchers' cattle, were too many in proportion to the choicer cattle. It was altogether rather a ragged kind of a market, with business a little slow, and no very choice stock offerings. Export--Oflorings of really choice export cattle scarce, a few loads of fairly good though light steers sell- ing at from 64 to 54.25. Butchers' -Tho cool weather vvi11 prohabfy improve conditions in the local butcher trade, but the change was hardly perceptible to -day. Tris domand was fair, but not particular- ly eetive, and for ordinary butchers' cattle the prices were unchanged from Thursday's market quotations. The proportion of rough light cattle was a little too heavy. Feeders -Good heavy feeders and 'short -keep cattle are steady. infer- ior light feeders a little easier. Stockers -There is a little better demand for stockers, but prices are low. Sheep and Lambs=Export ewes aro quoted at 8.25 to $8.90; bucks, 52.50 to 52.7655 lambs, $3.50 to 5.3.75.

Believes He Has Isolated the Can- cer Parasite; A London despatch says i, -721,o. lec- ture before the Abernothian Society, of London, Dr. Jesse Johnson gave tho details of a cancer treatment dis- covered by Dr, Otto Schmidt, of Col- ogne, which Dr. Johnson has been in- vestigating, and proposes to try in England. Dr. Schmidt believes he has isolated the parasite, on the presence of which in a sufferer he be- lieves Cancer to depend Regarding the numerous parasites found by Dr. Gaylord, an American investigator, and others, Dr•. Schmidt is convinc- ed onvino-ed that they aro, identical, varying Only in shape and appearance under different ooilditlons, and he cleiuis that be has produced these variations in his parefstte by subjecting It to such conditions. He claims that ho 'las sterilized the parasite, anti also that by injecting it into animals be has produced a serum which destroys (anew' cells. Ono of the most im- pressive features of the treatment is that the presence of cancerous growths can be discovered through the reaction under infection by the serum. It appears, moreover, to re- duce malignant, tumors to the level of innocent growths, thereby limit- ing their spread and r'ender'ing theft' removal effective, but for a complete cure Dr. Seh idt's treatment 1•e- qu'b•est, lirst, the arreat of the pr"- ross; Se00111, the removal of the growth; end, third, ihet no vital or- gan has been selously injured. 1]r.
