Grey Duberly; who was found dead in bedesterday in New York, evidently from, the. effects of a narcotic poison, was.fiplt communi- cated to his father, Captain J.. Grey Duberly, a retired naval offiee.'•, through an Associated Press despatch. When seen at his home to -day Captain Duberly Employees of the Royal Bank are to receive a 10 per cent. salary bonus. said he had no reason to doubt that the suicide was his son, although he was quite unable to account for his presence in New Fork. He said that Harry:Was his eldest boy and was 24 years of age. He had sent lain to Canada three years ago to remove him from evil influences. Ilarry had obtained employment with - the Grind Trunk Railway, holding a position at Niagara Falls. When he wrote home last August bis father un- derstood that he was doing well,- but since then the only communication re- ceived had been a card to his sister on the latter's birthday. Duberly was a distant relative of Earl Grey, Governor- General of Canada. His grandmother was a nb'ee of the first earl. He was also related to Lord alostyn- MUST COME DIRECT. Paris, Jan. 13.—On the Vincennes race track to -day M. Lepine, the Prefect of the Paris Police, and a big crowd of spec- tatoas watched with the greatest inter- est the trials of the police and protection dogs organized by the Club Francais du Chien de Defence et de. Garde. The ob- ject of the club is to encourage privete individuals to undertake training dogs for defensive purposes, .as helpers of the police, gamekeepers, coast guards and others exercising lonely and dangerous functions. The Peenoh Club is in its infancyy and in inaldng the competition inters atioaal the idea of the club was to satinet eon- petitors from abroad, from countries where police dogs' services already .exist. Competitors came from Germany, Bel- atitrm, and Holland and, with the French animals, a marvellous exhibition of can-. ane sagacity was given. The breeds chief- ly represented were the German sheep doe, the Belgian sheep dog, the Airedale terrier and also sheep dogs particular to the French provinces of Beaute and Pi- cardy. The palms of the day were taken 13y the German dogs Pandortmund, be- longing to Herr Osthaus, and Folette, owner Herr Simeon. The tests included defending a master against an Apache, the latter being a man booted and pro- tected in an extra<:rdinary fashion with a strong maek. .L Belgian dog tried. to get at his tht'it and hung on to the padding like ,.rim death, and when of- fered a tem: ting piece of meat by a stranger fumed disdainfully away. A beast which most of the other coni- potitors yielded to, notwithst2Dding a most ferocious display, took a patting and fondling from women spectators, like a regular' hero, when the business was 'over. His owner laughingly declared the dog would mind a baby and that an infant could play with him. The trials will be continued to -morrow when the prizes will be awarded. A G0 T. R. CLERK. DUBERLY WORKED IN LOCAL Oro FICES AT NIAGARA FALLS. His Suicide in New York No Surprise to Acquaintances—Had Tried to Pur- chase Poison Before—Said to Have Been Short in His Cash. Niagara Falls, Oat., despatch. Harry Grey Duberly, who committed suicide in a New York hotel by drinking oxalic acid, was the missing receiving clerk of the Grand Trunk local freight ware- 'tiousc in this city. To those well ac- quainted with the circumstances of the ease the news of the suicide was no surprise, because Duberly had endeav- ored to procure poison from drug stores In this city before he disappeared on December 26th. The accountants are still at work on his books, and the Grand Trunk officials decline to make any statement in the matter, but it is un- derstood that Duberly was over $500 short in his cash. Particulars regarding the Duberly family and its high connections were known to friends of the young man here, • ICe came to Canada five or six. years ago, and for several years received re- mittances from the family at home. Ile was to learn farming. After a time he left the farm lie was working on and esJ to the city. He said the farmer had made him sleep in the barn and had rued him harshly otherwise; For a time he worked in a late office, and then en- tered the Grand 'Prank employ in the general freight office. RE - Would Prevent Japanese From Hono- lulu Entering Canada—Japan Shows Willingness to Adjust Matters. Ottawa, .Dan. 13, ---The Department of the Interior has under consideration a new departure in regard to immigration. The intention is to amend the regula- tions so that in future all immigrants must come direct to Canada from their place of birth or .the country of citizen- ship. This regulation will apply to the Atlantic as well as the Pacific. While it is not framed against ,any particiilaa• class of immigrants, and will be general; in its character, it will leave the effect of shutting out Japanese coining from Honolulu to British Columbia. 'It is understood that the Japanese authorities have intimated to Mr. Le- mieux that there will be no objection from them to any regulations that will exclude Japanese from *Canada, if not emigrating direct from Japan to Can- ada. In regard 'to direct immigrants they have given assurances to reduce this to the requested minimum, but they are desirous of doing it in their own way, without making any formal com- pact. If that is done the present diffi- culty over Japanese iuiuiigratiofi will be solved, but if not, then the treaty will be abrogated. That appears to be the general view in Ministerial circles here. The proposed new regulation providing for immigrants coming direct would. also mean that Eu- ropean emigrants would not be permit- ted to come by way of United States ports, thereby insuring a more efficient medical inspection and stricter control over the character of immigrants land- ing in Canada. However, it is probable that nothing definite will be done in re speet to changing the present regulations until after llon, Mr. Lemieux has return- ed to the capital and ,rade his report to the Government. e .-TA IdAY CHANGE PLACES. Messrs. J. Bruce Walker and J. Obed Smith May Be Transferred. Ottawa despatch: it is probable that an arrangement will shortly be ef- fected, transferring Mr. J. Bruce Walker, now Canadian immigration commissiotner' at London, to Winni peg, where lie will replace Mr. J. Obed Smith, immigration commissioner at Winnipeg, the latter going to London to take Mr. Walker's place. Mr. Walk• er has applied for the transfer, in view of the Met that his wife's health is suffering from the effects of the English climate. In point of importance and of sal- ary the positions held by Mr. Walk- er and by Mr. smith are practically on a par, and provided no serious objection is made to the change by Mt Smith, the transfer will bo made by the Minister of the Interior, Mr. Smith is a native of England: e,o FELL INTO RAVINE.

JEWISH BUTCHERS CANNOT SELL 1111EAT AT A LOSS, AND CLOSE SHOPS. Will Stick to Decision—Until Con- sumers Pay More or Wholesalers Reduce Prices, No Meat, , Tomato ;deport. 13eeause several ab- attairet. have raised the price 'of beef frons, 0 to 7 and 71.2 vents a pound to Jewish; butchers, and the Jews who purchase meat 'and pay for it refuse to pay more than ten Dents a pound for their food, all the Jewish butcher shops in the city have dis- posed of their bock and sold out, and will sell no more meat until the wholesale price is reduced, or the consumers agree to pay more for their food. A meeting of Jewish butchers was held -at the butcher shop of D. Cap- lin & Son. 90 Agnes street, last evening, when they all 'decided to stand by the agreement they had made, and keep their stores closed until 'cure settlement is made with regard: to the priee of beef. They etato that in addition to losing money oA the meat they sell, they have cus- tomers who seldom, if over, pay for the meat they get., and the butchers have accounts an their books rang- ing from $1,600 to $4,000, which they never expect to see paid. Jews can eat only the front quar- ters of. beef, and all bones have to be cut from the ,neat before it is sold. The butehers buy the meat from the abattoirs end were paying six 'cents a pound. They then ,•sad to pay a dol- lar to a rabbi for each animal kill- ed, which ` increased the cost about half te cent a pound; then they have to cut all hones from the meat and lose abeutf 30 in every 100 pounds of meat .sold. The cost of the neat was therefore about eleven and a half Dents a pound, and when they sold it for ten they were losing money con- tinuously, They also have to pay rent, gee, help, keep a horse, etc„ and in addition' have to be at work at two o'clock every morning, for all meat mtist be prepared for sale before day light eagle day or it cannot be eaten, The butchers, therefore, decided to close up their 'shoes, and 12,000 Jews who eat .meat will have to go without any until a settlement is reached. Rabbi Jacobs was seen last even- ing with regard to the matter, and stated that he believed the Jewish butchers were paying a very fair price Mee, their beef, The butchers had decided 'tie to 'sell any more, and the; wi i.=; had. assured. him that it"'wasbfe :for them to sell meat at the present rate, as 'it' nes ruinous, • No one would be affected so much as the poorer class of Jews, said the rabbi, for the better •class could eat poultry. He did not think anything .serious would follow the ac- tion of the butchers, and that the dispute would be settled. He had of- fered his services and would ,do all he could to bring about a settlement. The poorep classes of Jews, continued the rabbi, were very fond of meat, and the deprivation of beef would not enable them to use any other kind of meat, for they could not use any other meat unless it was killed by the rabbis and .properly inspected. The butchers stated last evening that if the publio would pay bettor prices, or the wholesalers drop the prices to the old 'charges and give a good quality of meat, properly inspected, they would again open their shops, but not before that time. TOO MANY FIRES. A Montrealer Arrested on a Charge of Arson. Montreal, Jan. 13.—After reporting that his house had been set on fir: ley revengeful incendaries several times in thesame day, a French-Can- adian here, named Ovila Labreche, was . arrested this afternoon charged e ith arson. Several tunes Labreche had com- pained. to the police that efforts had leen made by enemies to burn his lauuse, and when they examined the place they found evidences of at- tempts to set fire to the tenement Labreche •said they had been made by men who had been sent down for labs : acs in his store, but the eir- cemstanees were somewhat suspicious, the more so that he boasted that even it his place were burned it was well •insure The fires at Labreohe's place, how- ever, became too numerous when they happened almost daily, and this re- sulted in the present charge against him. WHY: TIMES WAS SOLD. War With London Publishers Said to be Real Reason. London, Jan. 13.—In the absence of Arthur Fraser Walter, principal owner of The lames, who is at his country home, his brother, Godfrey Walter, also part proprietor and long connected with the management of the journal, accord- ed an interview to -day, in which he brander. many statements made with re- ference to the future of The Gimes under its new menagement as false and misleading, "Whiie it is premature to _ •..cey what nevelopnsents wet fol- low the advent of new blood into the management of the paper, it is absurd to say that i'Ir.•Pearson will make haste to destroy the traditional character, po- litical and otherwise, of The Times," he said. "I don't think there is any more ground for saying that the paper will further the tariff reformers' propaganda and lower the price toone penin • than there, is to say that almost •eveeybody heretofore connected with the paper will retire. The fact is nobody knows yet who leill retire, and, rte more is actually kno rpt' now than the atatdmef publish - ea this morning.

INTRIGUES OF DINIZULU EXPOSED IN COURT. Bambata's Thirteen -Year -Old on Tells That Zulu King Gave His Father a Mauser Rifle and Ordered frim to Fight the White People. Pietermaritzburg, Jan. 13. ---At the pre- liminary examination of Dinizulu, the Zulu King, in the Central jail here, the first witness was the thirteen-yeer-old son of Chief Bambata. The boy related how after the outbreak of the native disturbances last year he went on a visit to the Usutu kraal—the residence, of Dinizuhiwith Bambata and others. Dinizulu summoned Bambata and said to hint: "You are a coward. You waited until the white nien came, and you look- ed at them, but you did not fights You came here with words, seeking shelter. I will give you a gun and ammunition. Return and fight the white people. I will help you to that extent." The witness said he had the gun, which was a Mouser, in his bands. He added that Dinizulu sent Cakigana to assist Bambata to manage his impi, Bambata being inexperienced. After the fighting Cakigana and Bambata went back to the Usutu kraal, Bambata sub- sequently returning to the bush, Alter the final ;scattering of the impi many rebels came to Usutu, 'where Dinizulu employed them in general work. There were about thirty guns at Usutu. While at Usutu, the witness added, he noticed that guards were stationed at night whenever there was any suspicion that a Europeaai force was hi the neigh- borhood. SOLDIERS FROM ENGLAND. It is Said a British Regiment Again Will Garrison Halifax. Iralifax, N. 5., Jan. 13.—The troops at this garrison are to be replaced by a reghnent from England in April. That this is a fact is generally ac- cepted in military circles in Halifax. The Canadian Government will pay all the expenses, as at present, but the men will come from the British Isles, the War Department sending out a complete corps. Canada finds it too difficult to en- list the men, and they cost more than th s troops from England. Last week the headquarters staff in Halifax re- ceived orders that all enlistments for the various corps must cease, and that no more recruits will be accepted for the Halifax garrison. The mili- tary contractors have been notified that contracts for supplying the troops will be entered into for three months, carrying them on to the end of March. Another fact which lends color to the, report that England will resume the garrisoning of the basis in the east and west is that soldiers wish- ing to take their discharge before the terms of their enlistments expire will be allowed to do this without buying themselves out as formerly, thus showing a disposition to cut down the force now here. RUSSIAN CHRISTMAS. The Day Simply Celebrated by the Im- perial Family. St. Petersburg, Jan. 13. -The Rus- sian Christmas, which comes thirteen days later than the day set for the observation of the feast by the Gre- gorian Calendar, was celebrated to- day by the members of the Imperial family in • n very simple way, A Christmas tree, with presents for Alexis, the little Crown Prince, and his sisters, was set up in the apart- ments of the Empress. Only members of the immediate royal entourage were present. This afternoon Emperor Nicholas was present at two Christmas trees in Tsarkso Seloe, one of the guards and another for the Cossacks, The Emperor ,Wade short speeches, in which he thanked the soldiers for their valiant services, and bestowed a number of pre- sents. The Empress has made considerable improvement in the last few days, The doctors now describe her illness as "or- dinary influenza," but still Icer Majesty will not be able to attend the customary New Year's reception.

He says be will mot eave and, one of the moat interesting features' of the street ear sti-ike is expected to - develop out of the action of the civil and military authorities in tbda oase. A committee of ministers 'has been trying to bring about a eettltement of the trouble, and after thorough inves- tigation nveatigation reported that Behmer seemed to be the one obstao1e in the we of pence, T1 .eonni.it ee was dreaded by the Rev. Mr. Nyce, of the First Presbyter- ian Church, and wc::t to work wish a view of bringing the company and its employees together, but found that, Bea- mer was keeping the strike alive, and so reported to Mayor Guthrie. The Mayor, acompanied by other city officials, visited Behmer acid told hint of the reportmade by the ministers, but he protested against being driven frons the city, and flatly said he would not go. He insisted that the strikers wane, ed him to remain and take core of their interests, but the ministers wio had comforted with the strikers denied that they wished Behmer to remain, and in- sisted that he was the one obstacle in the way of peace. Major General McKee then made an inveatigahicn, caused Bebaner's speeches to be reported to him and then notified the authorities that the offieer of the Amalgamated Associatioai must be eith er deported or locked up, as it was plain that the difficulties could be settle without outside interference. The Gener- al intimated that he was ready to ex- ert his authority in the matter, but he wanted the local authorities to take the initiative. Behmer says be wall not leave but proposes to make the city his 'head- quarters. •eo PETER STEELE KILLED. Slipped Beneath Car Wheels at Carleton Place.
