NOT WISE TO STIR UP STRIFE British Press Attitude on Prince ECenry's Visit. A London despatch says :-The at- titude of the English newspapers to- wards the visit of Prince lIenry of Prussia, to the United States, .has called out n rebuke from the West- minster Gazette. "It is not dignified, and is scarce- ly well-bred," says the Gazette, "to remind the United States of obliga- tions we have no reason to suppose they will forget, and it is certainly not politic to display anxiety in re- gard to the possible remelts of the friendly meeting between the Presi- dent and the German Prince." ' The paper then proceeds to sound a note of warning against carrying resentment towards Germany to the point of endeavoring to make mis- chief between Germany and another power, "in view of the already strained relations occasioned by the zig-zag policy of the Government, which threatens to place Great Brit- ain in a position of antagonism to both Germany and Russia." WANTS TO SEB THE WORLD. A Trappist Monk Renounces His Vows After 23 Years.

He wants to see the World. It is stated that his permission to leave the monestery came from Rome. -4_ ---- WANTS RANSOM BACK. Uncle Sam Proposes That Turkey Shall Pay. A Constantinople despatch says: - It is understood that ,the United states will shortly take steps to ob- tain a reimbursement of the sum (872,500) paid to the brigands as a ransom for Miss Ellen M. Stone and Madame' Tsilka, holding Turkey re- sponsible, inasmuch as tho capture of the missionaries was effected on Turkish soil. This question of re- - sponsibility anay, have serious devel- opments, since Turkey emphatically disclaims responsibility, and lays the bhune on Bulgaria. FOR HER OWN PROTECTION Europe Must Adopt Commercial Mentos Doctrine, A. Budapest dospatth says :-Dur- ing a debate in the Huligarian Cham- ber on Thursday, Primo Minister IColoinan de Szell, referring to the increasing industrial production of the ,United States, said the neeessity would arise SOD20 day for Europe to put in force a coneuteeeial Monroe doctrine agaihst that country.

THE DOMINION PARLIAMENT, NOTES OE PROCEEDINGS IN THE EEPERAI, HOWE, On the nein or $18,350 fee the nigh Clonnaleeioner'e Once in Lone don, which is an inceense of $7,150 over the cost of the same office for last Year, Mr, Fielding explained that $2,000 of the Memos° Was Bled° up ef euch Agnes as, rent, inSerance, feel, light and stationery, tOgether with the Meaux° tax of the High Commissioner, which had alweYs been paid by the Dominion Govere- Ment. There was tilloWance of $5,- 000 in lieu of house and furniture. When the Dominion Government es- tablishal this office, a house was mwehased and furnished, but it Was not found satisfaetory, and recently it had not been occupied by the Com- missionee, The Government tberefore solcl the promises, and gave the Com- mieeioner this allowance es equiva- lent, There ems no doubt the whole tentleecy was towards an inerease the expense of the position. Living in London was costly, and the pie= of High Commissioner could only be held by a mao. of private meaus, but at the same time it was desireble that he should have a decently liber- al allowance. As to the rumor that a change would be made in the in- cumbency of the office, ho assured the House that there WL113 110 found - tion for the report that a successor to Lord Strallicona was to be ap- pointed. He was happy to say that Lord Stmtlicona was improving in health mei strength and Ile hoped that he would long be spared to dis- charge his duties. RECIPROCAL TRADE. Mr, John Charlton's speech on the trade question was supported by an impressive array of figures to show that in trade with the United States this. country does not got anything resembling fair play. Tho Government, through Mr. Fielding, declined to express any opinion at present. Mr. Fielding confined himself to saying that tho Government's view would be set forth in connection with the budget. TO ANENT/ ELECTIONS ACT, hfr. Northrup introduced a bill to amend the Dominion Elections Act of 1900. He explained that the ob- ject was to provide a penalty for offering or paying a person money to become a candidate for Parliament or to withdraw from such a candi- dacy. The Act already provided a penalty for offering or bestowing an office on a person under such cir- cumstances. NO AMMUNITION FOR CADETS. Mr. Clarke was told by the Pre- mier that the Government has re- ceived petitions from the Collegiate Institute Cadet Corps asking for facilities in 'rifle shooting, and for swords for use by officers. 'rho Gov- ernment has no swords suitable for use by 'officers of the cadet corps. Free ammunition is issued to rifle associations only, and not to educa- tional establishments unless organiz- ed for drill. The Governmetet has re- ceived a petition from the' Toronto Collegiate Institute Board asking for Lee-Metford rifles and for en- couragement to the cadets to 'macs tise at the Long Branch ranges. About 50 young gentlemen, ranging from 15 to 20 years of age, have formed themselves into a rifle . club at the institute, but the.ge.neral offi- cer connnanding does not consider that they should be entrusted with ammunition for rano practic,e. QUESTIONS ANSWERED. Col. Sant Hughes was informed that the total cost of the permazent corps for 1901-2 was $300,000. Cer- tificates issued numbered 823t and 256 certificates were issued to non- commissioned officers and men. non. Charles A. Fitzpatrick. that the Government had not con- sidered the question of amending the Supreme Court Act so thrttledges el ethat °burs may be appointed from the bars of Manitoba, the Northwest Territories and British Columbia, Sir Wilfrid Laurier explained the Sir. Wilfrid Lauded explained the appointments that had been made to the Supreme Court and the recent: changes that had been made in the Cabinet. He justified all the ap- pointments, which, he said, won the respect of his friends and challenged the criticism of his enemies. 31, L. Borden favorably corn -malted on the men who hod been placed on the Supreme Court, aud those who had been called to the Cabinet. CATTLE GUARDS. Mr. Lancaster moved the second reading of his bill to amend the Railway Act. 'Ile said the particular object of the bill wits to restore the law relating to tattle guards, to tho position ie which it was previous' to 1898. Mr. Lancaster showed how detrimentally the present law had worked in the interests of the far - niers, and how imperative it was that somethieg should be done to put in more °fleetly° guards. In uo State of the Union, 'se air as ha could Math, was 'there a law like wars. .There the railway itterests were being Made subservient to those o f the agricultural community. ter, Sutherland, speaking for the Government, said there WAS no objec- tion to the second reading of the meastwe, provided it was thee sent to the Railway Coramittee, whore all the interest. affected could be heard. The motion for the second reading was.carrted. On the motion to refer the bill to the Railway Committee, O divisioe was taken, which resulted hi it being cerried by 90 to 50. A TEACTIEI18' PARADISE.

As for the farmer, Who might raise the objection he needs protection if the other follow is to get it, it will be clahned that the Americen farmer suffers moro from Manitoba competi- tion, while the Canadian market for his grain" 15 80 limited, than if the Canadian wheat were permitted to come in free and mingle with the big crop of this country. CONFINED TO FOUR AREAS. Botha, Delarey, De Wet and Cape Colony Rebels. A despatch- from London says :- in his latest report to tho War Office Lord Kitchener gives a general review of the refinery situation. He says :--"T.he enemy's forces in the field are now practically confined to four -definite areas. In the Eastern Transvaal thikpersonal influence of General Louis Botha continues to hold together a considerable but diminishing force between the bor- ders. of Swaziland and the Brug- spruit-Waterval blockhouse line. In the west Generale Delarey and Kemp cling to the difficult country be- tween the Mafeking Railway line and Magaliesburg. In the northeestere districts of Orange River Colony De Wet and ex -President Steyn still con- trol a comparatively largo and de- termined following, who have quite recently given proofs of their bold- ness and initiative in attack, and in Cape 'Colony the country to the northwest 'of the Cape Town -De Aar line is infested by several bands of rebels, kept together by adventurers froi . the late republics. Elsewhere meaner commandoes are to be found, but their numbers are insignificant, and their want of enterprise reveals in all probability an abating inter- est in the useless struggle in which they have so long been employed." PRINCESS IN DANGER. Almost Run Down by a Frighten- ed Animal, A Moeda' cable to the New York Herald from London says: -"The Princess of Wales had a very narrow escape at the Shire Horse Show on Thursday. As tho Prince and Frit:te- ems were about to pass the exit a frightened stallion rushed by Her Royal Ilighness missing her by a foot or two only. It was only by the skill of the groom, who managed to pull the animal to one side, that a very serious and deplorable accideot was averted." • HARD ON THE HOTEL CLERK; "If that traveller ever puts up rit• trah liouseagainerll try to make hie stay interesting," said the clerk of an hotel as he scowled' at a welter who was trying hard not to laugh. "He dame in here the other day and, after registering his name, turned the page back and looked at the names of the day before. Then be said, suddenly, "I have discover- ed a funny thing • in the last few days, and that is that there aro more persons registering under the name of Brown than there are under the name of Smith. I don't know whether the Brown family is more numerons, or whether they travel mme than the Smiths. But it le a fact nevertheless, that there are more Browns to be found on the ho- tel registers than there are Smiths." "That hasn't been my experience," I aeswered, "and you will find that it isn't true at this hotel, for there are six Smiths reglistered here to ono 131:?nr'le'Lou don't know,' he retorted. 'New, to prove what I say and make it more interesting, I will wager you that by tho time I'm ready to leave to -morrow, there will be more Browns on the register than Smiths.' "1 thought I had an easy mark, so I took hins up. Re proposed that I should buy Min a cigar for every Brown whose name went down ob. the register, and he would do the same for me when the name was Smith. "That was agreeable to mo, and simply chuckled to myself, for knew of at least two Smiths who were due, and who would undoubted- ly be here before the traveller left. "Well, hi Jess than ton edentate it began to ram Browns, 1 never saw so many , Browne together in my life. The hotel register began to look like a record of the Brown fam- ily, Every few minutes the travel- ler Would call around, chock tip the register, and demand the cigitre ow- ing to him.

He pointed out that in the near future the province would be covered with a network of electric railway lines, and all sorts of questions would erise as between different rellway cone - prunes, and also between electric railways on L110 9110 Muse end muni- cipalitiee on the other, It, was ut- terly impossible to lay dowa , any general law that would meet every case, That heel been found, impos- sible in connection with larger rail- waye. In his humble opinion it would be pecessary to constitute B01110 sort of tribunal which would perform the sarao functions with re- ference to provintial electric railways as were now performed by the Rail- way Committee of the Privy Coun- cil at Ottawa. He hoped they would be able to introduce a bill Ole ses- sion to provide machinery such as be thought should be provided, and laying down general principles ate feeling railways, which should met only apply to all new railways, bat to the legislation of this session. He did not say this on the authority 41 the full Government, but 15119 ex- pressing his own individual views. FOUR. NEW MEMBERS. Hon. J. M. Gibson introduced the hill providing for further representa- tion of the northern districts. He Said the bill proposed to add four new members for the two Algomas and Nipissing. The bill provides there shall be two members for West Algoma, three for East Algoma. and two for Nipissing. West Algoma, he said, would be di- vided into north and south, and not into Rainy River and Thunder Bay. The populations by this divi- sion would be 12,649 for the south, and 18,156 for the north. East Algoma, is to be divided into threo electoral districts. Sault Ste. Marie, Manitoulin 'and Algoma. The first will include the Soo and the southwestern portion of the present district. Manitoulin will include Manitoulin and the islands with a Pardee of the north shore. Algoma is to include that portion not taken in by the other two electoral dis- Wets and including tbe island of St. josepli. The population of these new districts will be, Sault Ste, Marie, 14,448, including the Indians; Manitoulin 14,136 and Algoma 18,- 096. Nipissing is to be divided into east and West Nipissing. In regard to the. east riding, three townships of North Renfrew an included and some townships south of Algonquin Park, separated by the Canada and Atlan- tic :Railway, which formerly belonged to lelpissing, are added to North Hastings. Mr, Gibson said he did not intend to discuss the bill, but declared it to be g, reasonable and fair way of increasing the representation of the Northern districts. STRIKES ARE DECREASIbRa. The report of the Burette of Labor for 1901 was presented to the Legie- lature. The returns of strikes and lockouts show a diminution for the period from Septeanber 31st, 1901, compared with a. like previous period the total number of strikes reported being 19, and one lockout, involviag 64 establishments, and covering an +aggregate of 488 days, or an average of 28 days to each. e The greater number required but a iew days for settlement. The tendency to settle disputes between employer:5 and em- ployes by conciliation is rapidly on the increase in Ontario, as in other parts of the world. The repcirt says further that ectine misapprehension as,to the objects of the bureau still exists, though the secretary, Mr. Robert Glockling has visited many industrial centres of the Province during the year, and has to some ex- tant removed this misapprehension. THE SMALLPDX EPIDENTC. In reply to Mr. Matheson. the Pro- vincial Secretary said that the item of $6,000 for sanitary investigation was aepended on tbe fight against smallpox. An additional inspector, Dr. no.dgetts, had been appointed. The Covet -salient did note intend to repay all municipalities for their smallieex expenditures, but only a few small outlying ones, where the disease had been brought in by out- siders. THIRD READINGS. The follpwing bills were given a third reading: - To divide the District of Rainy River for the registration of titles and deeds. -Mr, Gibson.

THE FIGHTING NATE. An Incident of Life on the Ocean Wave. A. ship at sea, is an isolated world. Not only does the little floating Vil- lage depend on the stbutness of the planks beneath it but the safety and comfort of thoseeon board depend on obedience to intelligent orders. The man who rulesphycanstiusti rule often, asdoesbyes it of a hall -savage ib force. Mr. Frauk 15. Bullen, author of "The Men of the Alercha.nt Ser- vice," is no advocate of violence on the part of officers, but, as he ex- plains, if there is no weight of force behind an order'men will always be found who will disobey. One of Mr. Bullen's earliest recollections of sail- or life is of an incident on board the East Lothian. The men 11+3.d been demoralized by a cowardly second mate who was en - ally discharged at Bombay. His suc- cessor was a splendid specimen of a. setunan, not too tall,- Beeler, propor- tioned, and of a very pleasant face. The first morning he was on board we were wasbing decks', Mr, Eaton, the new. second -mate, was having a. look roteed the ship, and stayed for- ward, where two men were paesing water out of the big wash -deck tub. As Mr. Eaton passed, one of them, carelessly slinging a bucket toward the other, dropped it and cut the deck badly with its edge. With a. glance at the new officett he burst out into furious cursing at the other mom for not catching it. Mr. Eaton turned quietly to him and .said: "If you don't shut that foul head up, shut it for youl" The man, a huge New York nonde- script, deceived by Mr. Eaton's pleass ant look, strode up to him swonaing horribly and threatening to kill him. For answer the second mate leaped at hint and seized him by the throat and whistband, and the next minute Ile was flying over the rail into the Sea. Mr. Raton turned swif tly arid was just in time to catch the other man in mid -rush at hioro with a squarely planted blow on the chin, whielt landed him it clucking lica,p in the scuppers. ley this time the other men had seen the fray and rushed eorward, shouting, "Kill him!" Presently Eat- on wits the centre of a howling gang threatening his life. But he armed himself with a, "norman" a handy iron bar from the windlass, end none of them dared face him with that terrible weapon. The skipper and . the first mate came rushing forward and ranged' themselves by the side of the second mato. le two minutes the whole trete of the ship wet+ ale tered. Tt was never again necessary to resort to violence. MUMMY wnnAr. Popular journals every now and again recount that Wheat found in inlinlitly eases has been planted, ger- minated and 'grove.
