Im•••••1..11111•411•0101•.••••••••1•6••••, The War, Two important moves, which. should portend something serious in s the Eastern war situation, have ftaken place during the past week'. • The Russian Vladivostok fleet which disappeared from the scene a ac- tion some time ago, his again made its appearance off the coast of Corea land haS become quite aetive. On the, other hand th4 Japanese -have crossed the Yalu river, which has for sonte time'separated the arinies • of the contending countries. This was accomplished •with very little show of resistance on the part of the Russians who are rushing forces to that distriot with all posiibie speed. The arraiee are now nearing each other and as the rainy season will be on in a few weeks, making that part of the country impossible in so far as the rapid movement of armies is concerned,it seexns im- • probable that any time will elapse before a serious engagement will be reporded. In the meantime the strictest censorship is being main- tained so that any probable move- ments in the future are mere con- jecture. The Dominion Parliament. The long drawn out debate on the amendments to the Grand Trunk Paeific Railway contract has been concluded and the bill has passed its econd reading,by a large ma- jority. The Premier closed the de- bate by a powerful speech, one of the BIWA able he has ever deliver- ed, and in -which he meit, effective - 13r and satisfactorily answered the objections of the opponents of the bill. The Premier hat the faculty of being able to rouse the enthus- iasm of his fdllowers to a high pitch when he desires to do so. He _did this on the present occasion. The bill has still some formalities toe go through befOre it finally be- comes law, but there will not likely be any pralonged opposition to it on its future, course. The budget speech has yet to be delivered by the Finance Minister, but this is ex- pected next week. It will likely cause a more or less_prolonged de- bate, but after it is disposed of there is not much else to do and the prospects for an early prorogatioa are still goodin the meantime the House is busying itself in leisure- ly way with private measures and other routine work. There is noth- ing of an exciting nature on the prOgramme. It seem e to be still an undecided point as to whether there will be a dissolution and. a general ieleetion after this session or the House Will be allowed to run its natural course. No person save the Governraent can give an assurance on tlais matter and if they ean, they keep their consels well to them - elves. The Seesion (Rased The Ontario Legislature finished o up the business for this sessi On en Saturday and the formal proroga- tion took plaoe on Tuesday. .There was the usual rued) apd hurry which seems to be inseearable from the closing days' of all legislating bodies and many of the most important - measures of the session were put throitgh during the last three or our days and the reports treijbeLO _ ally sprinkled with the usual car- ried on a division," which mete is tlaat measures proposed and to withal amendments are MOVed 810 recorf1- tql carried on the regular party vote -without the formality of calling the names of members on both sides. Thie was the second session of the tenth legislative t erne and was t longest on record, luiving lasted for sixty-nine days. It must have been quite a relief to the Government to Wit* oesS the last member with grip F in hand taking his depart are from the seared erecints of the Legisla- tive chamber where strife and dan- ger had reigned for so many days. However, the Government have through the session. without receiv- leg any serious scars. They had two or three rather severe scares, but they retained their majority of three hatact tbroughout the session. The Premier led and marshalled is for- ces witIi remarkable skin and a IA I i ty and solar as was viable to tlie out- side observers thefe WaS not a ,ja r ,ae a hitch among hie follower:4e .throughout the en t ire fieSS ion. In this respeot the Government sup- porters 80 to have •done better than the Opposition. The Govern- ment: will now heve a breathing open, If -they succeed in ge t Ling through the interval between now and the next session as safely as they got through the session just closed they are tolerably safe to weather the storm during the pre- sent legislative term. There should be two more sessions of Lhe Lei. lature and a general election is,'-nOt due until 1900. ,:But, between this and the nett seesioe there are eight election protests; five Government „ supporters and three Opposition to be tried. These have been fixedfor September. They are likely to oc- casion the Government some trouble and their fate must depend to a considerable extent on how these are disposed ot. If they emerge from thio orde 1 and are able to meet the Legislature next sespion with their majority of three unim- pairedethe sky for thorn will be tol- erably clear, if not they are almost certain -tie have reakers ahead. During the eeent session the Government oar -ed out their pro- gramme laid do i at the opening of the session with the single exception of the temper nce bill. That was dropped. Sever 1 of the measures passed are coni endahle and cannot fail to be advantageous to the coun- try. Some of bent were the very reverse of this. Among the fpfmer we may raent on the new Assess- ment Act and t e measure imposing additional taxation on The railways, Among the lat er stands out con- spicuously the et granting nearly half a million f dollars in money and over a mill'on acres of land to the Grand Tr k Pacific •Railway Company for t or proposed branch road from Port Arthur to the main line. The Opelo ition, to their credit be it said, gavi the most vigorous opposition to t ie bill, but it was finally, carried •y the standing ma- eorety of three, ,every Reformer in the House vet g for it: They have thus voted-awa money and land for, which there is no necessity and fori which no valid eturn will be given and they have e posed a double bur- den on the Pr ivince. By the Do- minion Act ontario will have to bear two -fifth of the burden for the main line nd now her legisla- tors have saddl d her with an addit- ional burden fo this branch which, LI built, will b built soleftr in the interests of an for the benefit of the company, w ich should bear the whole expense.

Tbe o ernment had their majority of- tlr1i. This having been done it is hoped the various enter- prises at Sault te. Marie will now soon be got into operation again. The Opposition in the Legislature made a very de ided stand against this bill and ought it at every stage. This. op osiiion was, how- ever, we fancy, netigated .more by a desire to get t e Government into a tight corner a d probably defeat them,than by an well grounded ob- jection to the sae meitself. For ex- ample, it was at mpted by the Op- position WI show hat two members of the Legisla ure, viz., Messrs., Comney and Bow n, both of whom are staunch supp rters of the Gov- ernment, bad a d rect. money. inter-; est in the bill i soemuch as they had a claimon ti e old company for their rake-off on the contract for the construction .1 the Algoma Cen- tral railway, one the Soo company enterprises and that the Govern- ment guarantee oilld secure them their money whic , under other cir- cumstances, they would not obtain.

It is an emy Dlattf3r for any factory to make a stylish shoe, but it is verY difficult to combine the two. To make stylish shoe that is also comfortable is the highest art of shoe meking. The Slater Shoe combines both of these qualities, with a third added, viz durability. It fits, because it is made in different widths and in a great variety of sizes and -styles to suit all shapes of feet, and it wears because only the very best grades of leather are used in its construction. If you have never worn the Slater Shoe, all we ask you to de is to give them a ttiaL If you have worn them once, you will wear them always, and hundreds of customers will tell you the same thing, To make sure you have the original and genuine Slater shoe, always look for the slate frame branded on the sole. The Stater shoe is made in two grades -4-43.50 and $5.00 a pair—and are sold only by us in Seaforth. 4i444444.444-1-1-144-144-14-1.4-14 R. WILLIS 8c.
