The Burton Act, which controls the diversion of water to the American side of the Niagara River and limits the amount of horsepower which may be transmitted into the United States from Canada, will expire by limitation, on March 4 next. An effort now is being made to wrest control of the diversion of water from the Federal Government and vest it in the New York State Government.

It was frequently a mighty utterance of a mighty need. The basis of prayer was the sub- mission of our whole life to God • and unless this was done we con d hardly expect an answer to our ap- peal to the. Heavenly Father, no matter how fervently expressed. There could be no acknowledge- ment unless our surrender was cone plete.

When we were sincere and real every kneeling at the feet ofChrtst was a devotion but if we cherished one sin our prayer would become mockery. A plan contrary to God's would mean no more than the say- ingof so many words. ith this conception of p.ra yer, asked the speaker, was it not hard to pray. Did it not mean struggles and sacrifice of desires. Frre- (Iuently when we prayed earnestly our request was not granted. In such a case we should remember r that Gods will, not ours, s t done. If it is not God's will that we should have our prayers anewered we const not expect the heavenly gilt for wesubmit our will to that of God when we pray to him.

For some time the Bishop has not been enjoying good health, bur it was only about a week and a half ago that his illness assumed a serious turn. He was removed. to St. Joseph's Hospital, but insp'te of the hest mned- ical skill his case became more serious and death resulted as stated above. The funeral will take place at 0 30 a.m Tuesday.

ALLIES SIEK[NG PEACE. They Are Using Every Diplomatic Device to Avoid War, LONDON, Jan. 27. -The Balkan plenipotentiaries, who have received full powers from their'respeotive Gov- ernments, appointed a committee yes- terday to draft.a note to the Turkish plenipotentiaries, explaining why the peace conference must now be consid- ered broken off, It is hoped that the draft will be ready for the approval of the hill delegation Monday night. Thin action of the allies is part of a .; series of well-oonsidered forms of pressure with which the Balkan dele- gates hope to obtain their object with- out resuming the war. The meeting. yesterday lasted for an hour and a half, and the course to be followed was given earnest con- sideration; Two distinct views were manifested- one for the immediate rupture of the .negotiations, leading to a resumption of the war, ; and the other favoring a temporizing policy, in order to avoid irrevocable steps. The latter course triumphed, and a committee was appointed. General lines were laid down on which the note is to be drafted, wen prising the arguments alleady set forth many times as to why the league demands the surrender of Adrianople and the Aegean Islands as an indis- pensable condition to the oonclusiou of peace. That the policy of the allies is to gain time is patent, and does not de- ceive anybody. The delegates decided that the advantages to be derived from the resumption of hostilities would be in proportion to the risks they ran, and that they would not take that step unless absolutely forc- ed ore-ed to do so. It is realized that even a partial reverse would have grave moral and material consequence, apart from the loss of thousands of men. Young Turks Not Strong. VIENNA, Jan. 27. -Advices from Constantinople say that the Young Turk party thus far is backed only by part of the army; that a majority of the army, including the older offi- cers in high positions, and a majority of the influential clergy, are against the Young Turks. Enver Bey's following, adds the de- spatch, consists of several hundred officers infatuated by the cry, "Lib- erations of sacred places," and 'these very men are likely to turn against the Young Turks if they do not suc- ceed in saving Adrianople.

From that he goes ahead mud pronounces judgment on 20,001e,OT0 arras." Hon. 61L Duff said: "Professor Fee- now's remarks appear to have convey- ed an entirely erroneous impression. He refers to 18 samples which were analyzed. As far as I am aware the only 18 samples which have heen'an- alyzed were samples of Abitibi soils analyzed by Prof. Haroonet of the chemistry department of the Ontario Agriculture College in 1903 1906, the results of which are given its the Coll- ege report of I900. Alter giving the details of the different contents cif the soils, the report concludes with the following statements:' 'While it is true that the conclusions arrived at from the results of (Mei-ideal analysis alone cannot be' taken as final; We fee justified in stating that, where drain- age and cultivation receive due atten- tion. much of the veil in the Abitibi district possesses sufficient plant food to grow many remunerative crops, and that has a great agrioul.tural future'. That represents the view of the scien- tific investieatiou of 1006. "Whatever may be said as to the value or lunintation of chemical soil analysis, and they have both, it will be admitted that experience is the true and final test, Since that time there has been a great development in the northy country, and the crop returns n fromNet, Lielzeard, Nlathe<o , Mon- teith, Charlton, Englebart and other • il- • e fertil- ity Let £ districts prove conclusively ity of the soil."' • WILL WE TELEPHONE ACROSS THE ATLANTIC? `'n before a conn During the• hearing g urxittee of the British House of Commons, a. wireless expert ex- t telephon- ing the oa P }inton that across the Atlantic will be a possibility of the comparatively near future. 12th of July in the town of .Maria.
