SAYS CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN IN
HIS ELECTION ADDRESS.
A Corrupting System, Which Exploits

-Last Decade an Unbroken Expanse
of Mismanagement.
London, Jan. 7. -The election address
of Sir Henry Campbell -Bannerman, the
Premier, is wholly devoted to a severe
indictment of the late Government's re-
cord and its policy on protection, and to
referring the electors to his public de-
lelaration on assuming office for an ex-
position of his Government's intended
policy.
The Premier declares that the last de -
etude represents a well-nigh unbroken ex-
panse of mismanagement and. legislation
conducted for the benefit of privileged.
• classes, of wars and, adventures abroad
hastily embarked upon and recklessly
• pursued, and that the legacy the Union-
ists bequeathed to their successors is in
the main a legacy of embarrassment, au
accumulation of public mischief and con-
fusion absolutely appalling in its ex-
tent and. ramifications, having more than
a nominal place in the estimation of the
• majority of the Unionists, whose fiscal
reform policy, he holds, is fraught with
incalculable mischief to the nation ana
the empire. He characterized protection
pas inunoral.and oppressive, based, as he
says it must be, on the exploitation of
the community of the interest of favored
trades and financial groups, and declares
the policy of his Government will be to
hold fast to the time-honored principles
of Liberalism, peace, eeonom,v, self-gov-
ernment and. civil and. religious liberty,
and. to pursue a substantial continuity
of foreign policy without departing from
the friendly and unprovocative methods
adhered to by previous Liberal Adminis-
trations.

Size of Induction Coils a Barrier.
London, Jan. 7. -Tho with-

kew York again is being discussed.
Of Course, as is well known, the Bri-
tish postoffice already has made ext.en-
sive experiments with a view to
proving long distance telephoning in
this country, and with the aid of in -
dation coils fitted, on telephone cables
tit certain intervals, has enabled corm
nurneation to be carried on with great
facility over long distances. But as
to telephoning across the Atlantic in
the near future, IL R. Kenape, one of
the post -office engineers, is wit quite so
sure.
Experiments, lie said, already had
been. made with a view to increasing
the working distances of British tele-
phone eable to open up communication
with New York would. present consider-
able difficulties owing to the bulk of
induction coils. Although theoretically,
he said, it was possible to open tele-
phonic conimunication with New York
ho was of the opinion that, viewed
front a practical standpoint, the diffi-
culties were too great to be overcome.
Tho difficulties are mechanical and
not electrical, owing to the present bulk
of induction coils, and it doubtful if
coils necessary to obtain efficiency could
bo reduced sufficiently in size to secure
successful working.
In the present telephonic cables run-
ning to France and Ireland the intro-
duction of induction coils had improved
their capacity by at least 100 per cent.,
and it was possible, Mr. Kempe said,
that when telephonic communication
was extended, say to Norway, it would
bo necessary to have coils of such size
as to make speaking practicable to still
longer distances.
Science, however, is advancing nowa-
days so rapidly that a new type of
submarine cable, with the necessary
induction coils for speaking over great-
er distances than hitherto had ever
been contemplated, might well be man-
ufactured and successfully worked.

SCHOOL BURNED,
DOMINION GOVERNMENT INSTITU-
TION NEAR WINNIPEG DESTROYED.
Winnipeg, Jan. 8. -St, Paul's Indus-
trial School, situated a few miles north
of the city, was totally destroyed by fire
this afternoon, entailing a loss of about
$30,000. It is a Dominion Government
building, and about 70 Indian children
were being educated there. They all es-
caped without casualty. A great deal of
valuable equipment was also saved. Prin-
cipal Thompson is ill at present, and the
amount of insurance cannot be learned.
The fire originated in the furnace room
of the old frame annex, and was soon
beyond control.
The Winnipeg fire brigade was tele-
phoned for, but, owing to the distance,
did not go out.
