The War in the East. There is not much that is relia le or of interest to note from the- a - pan -Russian war, The Japs are s ill following en the advantage b - tabled in their lateerigagement a• d several skirmishes,have since ta en place, in all of wilieh the Russi ns bare. been driven back. It is sii that elisease has. broken out- in the 'Russian army and at many poi ts thousands are dying frone.small p x and fever. The Japs are 'still bo barding Port Arthur and •rt is e pected that place, or ai much of Iit as is left, will be forced tesurrend r beforo very long;if not relieved, as the provisions are nearly exhapst d. Another land engagement betw n the contending armies, near t e scene of the last, is expected at n --early date and is liable to take plaice almost any day. The Russians babe' been terribly surprised, and disap- pointed, not to say disheartened, 1y their continued reverses si ce hostilities commenced. But th y stilt hint that they have not yet commenced in earnest, but haVe something big in reserve. If they have it seems to be about time they were bringing it on. If they are de - e hated in the next great engageme t very much doubt will be thrown n -their ability to cope with their a tagenists. The Japanese seem to be thoroughly equipped -with the most' :modern, war munitions and they also seem thoroughly skilled 'xi their best use; The Russians, thus fax, at any rite, appear behind in these respects. They have soldiers many, but the of- ficers and heads of departments ap- pear 'seriously lacking in everything save reputation. A Much DisPleted Pointe • A great , deal of discussion took place during the recent seseion of the Ontario Legislature andit has since been continued on the public platform and through the press, as to whether two members of tbeLeg ;stature, Messrs, -Conmee and BoW- man, had a right to vote on the Sim 'Aid BM. Tbe Opposition COI - tended that these gentleraen had a judgment Against the, Soo Compar.iy for $400,000 for work done on a rail- way the company was building and that consequently they were _finan- (daily interested in the aid bili and could not legally vote on a measuse in wMeli they were peeuniarily in- teresta On the other side it -wae eon -tended that Messre. Conmee and Bowman had their claims abeolutie- ly secured and that it .did not in tile least affect their claim whether the aid bur was aseed by the Legisla-e tare or not. 'rite matter was refee- red to the Speaker and be decided to leave the question to be settled by the House. This was done, and the House, on a t tigbl party vat e, de- clared the right of elle members named to vote to be unimpaired arta they voted aecardingly. The globe takes up the cudgele on baled( of the members and riff tuns very posi t ive.ly that an agreement was entered inte between the solicitors of COnmeet and Bowman and th4t Speyer cote - patty who held the mortgage whioh threatened to wipe out the 'etairn -et Conmee and Bowmen, Tilk egrerei. Inc ta, waS to the et ft,el that noteoie. ly their claim but the cham ot ali otlwr creditors of the na1ty:1y eltould be recognized and paid OW of tbe assets of -,the company irrespectite of f hn mortgage It Ad 1 bat, moreover, large amounts are due the compauy from the Dominion and Proviriciel Governments sr (tented subeidiOs which are being witheld for the eit- press purpose of paying such ered- i tore as COritrive and Bowman. If the Globe's statements in this respect ftro etorrect, • and they have not 4151 yet been queetioned, then it seetbs clear that Connote and Bowmen were not in any way dependent on the Soo aid bill beteg fiassed by the Legisla- ture for having their claim paid and 'that t hey had, 1 h erefere, a perfeet, 'literaland legal right to vote for the bill as they did. But this is a question in which tlw country is not eo much interested. The Soo aid bill can it)e justified on its merits and Messrs. Contnee and Bowman Ina .3; eafely be left to settle the matter of their right. 10 vote On it with • their consciencee end their (tonsil t- uente, and Ilowtnan obtain these contracts from Morgue for 'ten. per cent. "mire than the work is worth and pocket the over plus. Now, the pub- lic would not have any right to find fault with this arrangement except for the following feats:. For all these Clergue schemes aid was sought from the Provincial treasury and in many instances such aid was obtain- ed. Conmee and Bowman are mem- bers of the Legislature and are sup- porters of the Government that bad the initiating- of the legislation that specified the amount and nature of the aid to be given to these Clergue schemes. Connie° and Bow- man were also instrumental in se - caring the passage of this legisla- tion by the Legislature. In view of the fact that. Clergue was able to ,glve these centraets to Conraee and •'Bowman for ten per cent. more than the work was actually worth and be- ing done for by Foley Bros., it nat- urally fellows that he receivedjust that much, at least -more than was necessary from the Government and Legislature and that the over pins went into the pockets of Comnee and Bowman, two xnembers of the Legis- latere, wbo gave no value for it. It is .simply -aroundabout way of per- mitting Conmee aSid Bowman to place their hands into the public treasury and take from it money to which they are not entitled and which it is doubtful if. they could get were the not members of the i• Legislature nd supporters of the Government. How xmich these men received in this way we de not know. But we do kucitv that they both con- fessed in the Legislature to having received $39,000 in connection with the Algoma Central 'Railway, a Ciergue seheme which was heavily subsidized by the 'Legislature. We would like to see what the Globe has to say in justification of this transaction. We would also like to know what our Reform representa- tives, Messrs. Hislop of East Huron, and Cameron, of _West Huron, have to say about it and. we now offer them, or •either of them, the re- quired space in The Expositor for that purpose. If they can give the transaction . a more favorable color- ing than we have been _able to do, we shall be very greatly pleased. It is possible they may have, some in- formation on tbe subject Which will tend in the direction indicated that we have not. If they have, it is on- ly fair to the public and to all parties .concerned that it should be male known. What do you say gentle- men? • • The Donnttion Parliarnent, The Dominion Law Making Ma- chine is still grinding away at Ot- tawa, although the grist being turn- ed out is not notiCeable for its ex- tent,:whatever the quality may be. The Grand Trunk Pacific (A mendm en t bill has had a rest for a week. It is still working its way through the Committee of the Whole and about one-third of ,its provisions have been thus • tar considered. A few days ago„however, the Conamitlee etruck a couple of silage which have delayed even the stow progrese that was being made. The Opposition proposed a couplc of amendments which the Government thought reas- onable, if feaaible, so the Minister of Justice asked that time be given to permit him to look up the matters and determine the effect these, a- mendments will have on the ether parts Of the bill. If he decides they 'can be accepted without destroying the harmony of the whole the Op- position will gain their point and the changes will be made. It was ex- pected that the Minister of Justice would be prepared with his decision on Thursday. After this the dehate Will be resumed. In the mean time the House has been busying itself in a very leisurely way with the eeti- mates and private and routine leg- islation, The budget speech has not yet been delivered and it is not like- ly to be until the railway bill is got out of the way. A good deal of spec- ulation is being indulged in He to the tariff ehanges which tvill be an- nouneed by the Fen:Ince Minister, 11 expecteel by Some thet the wool- len and iron manufacturers will be " afforded relief " as an increase in the tariff is termed.
