There is nothing new to note -from the Japan-Ruskan war. There has not even been skirmish during the past week. Most of the war so far has Veen on paper. It is said, however, that Russia is gradually securing a settlement of all her outside complications so,that she can concentra,te her whole attention and force sen Japan. If this is the ease, we may look for stirring times in the east later on as Japan seeras equally determined to hold her own it possiiile,'and a war that may con- tinue for years may be the result. In the meantime we can only look on and await results and become better -acquainted with the long and unpronouncable names which are so profusely sprinkled. through the ireports, -Since the above was in type a confirmed report has been received announcing that one of the most se- vere blows yet received by the Rus- sians was suffered early Wednesday nrorning, when the first class battle- ship Petropavtosk was blown up, Admiral Makaroff and 600 men drowned, and the Grand Duke-Cyri), heir presumptive to the throne,in- jure& It appears that the vessel was blown up by a mine, possibly placed in position by the japseehose fleet the Russian warehips were a- bout to attack. eat, - Still 13onueing. Those who had hoped that the sys- tem of bonusing railways either by money or land grants had ceased in tbie Province will be disappointed to . know that the praetise is still being scontinued by the Ontario Govern- ment. Last week the Premier sub- mitted two bills of this nature for the aperoval of the Legislature. The first of these proposes to aid what is known as the James Bay Railway hY a guarantee of bonds. This road is to run from Toronto to ettudbury, -and thence north 175 miles. The proposal of the, Government is to 'guarantee 'the- bonds of the company to the extent of $20,000 a mile, the Galt of construction being estimated " at $30,000 per mile and from tliree to five thousand dollars per mile ad- ditional for equipment. The guaran- tee is for thirty years with interest at the rate of three and one-half per cent. The whole amount the Gov- ernment will become responsible for will be $5,300,000. In return for this the road is to be completed in four years; the CT. R. and other companies are: to he elVell runnirig powers over it; einigranes or set- . tiers for New Ontario are. to be -car- ried at one cent per mile and their effeets at half the ordinary rate of freight and. the Government is to be secured by a first mortgage on the road., In additign to tbis e cash bo -nus formerly voted to this road' •from Su,dbury to Parry •'Sound, a- mounting to $380,000 is to be with- drawn, This is the first time the Onterio Government .haVe propteted the principle of Government guaran- tee instead of bonus. The wisdom of granting aid to a railway running from the central city of the Pro - vice, throutth some of the oldest, most wealthy and most densely set- tled counties in Canada and to the fertile fields of New Ontario, may well be questioned. A road such as this should be a profitable enter: - prise from the time it is opened and the promotors should be able to fn - ane it without any publie ale. How- ever, the Government seems to be mple security to evade Province and also secure rtant concusions which they would not get but for this aid. On the whole, this proposition is , not objectionable, On the contrary; it Ls commondable in so much u it lays down a new principle of aiding enterprise.% of this nature. We wish we couldtay as much for ethe seemed ,proposition, which is to grant a proposed - branch of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, to run from Thunder Bay to mannect with the main line between that point and 'Wb3nipeg, a cash subsidy a- mounting to $400,000 and 1,200,000 acres- of land, This is an outrageous and indefensible proposition. Wily thie scheme was not treated the same as the other, no explanation is ee. bhe first place, the principle adopted is vicious; in the second. place, 330 such aid. is needed and- if given will simply go to enrich the promoters of the scheme. Thig branch will connect the main line of the transcontinental road with the he td of lake navigation; it la necessary' to the parent :scheme and it will be from • the very first a most profit- able enterprise to the promotors. It is objectionable to give the money and it is more objectionable to sive away such en immense tract of pub - lie lands to a private company to keep them locked up for speculative purpeeett, If the Province is to re- ceive any benefit 'from this enter- prise, let a guarantee of bonds be given and ainple security be taken the same as in the other ease. If L the . Government 'insist in forcing this scheme on the Legislature it !should be feted down without com- punction and regardless of conee- quemes. We do not oppose .this because it is a Grand Think scheme. There is no railway in Canada that is more deserving of favorable con- sideration from the people of On- tario than the Grand Trunk.
