able length of time will be given the
employees of the Dominion Goal Com-
pany now on strike to return to
work, and if theythen do uot do so,
teen will be imported in large num-
hers to till their places. So Mr. James
Roes, President of the company, de-
clared in an interview accorded to-
day, in which he set out the position
of the company regarding the strike
of United Mine Workers. Ile Lilso
naade the important announcement
that if Messrs. Bousneld, IVIeCuls
lough and other American U. M. W.
Men live up to their osier to leave
the country he will treat with the men
On strike, but in no circemsances will
lierecognize the Mine Workers'
Union. Men are being imported at
the present time to fill the placee of
those who, have left the country at
the solicitation of the U. IvL W„ he
said, but he added that no men will
be brought in to fill the places of
any men still in the country until it
is seen definitely that the local men
will not abide by their contract. In
that case men will be brought in to
replace every man who still stays on
strike.
MR. ROSS IS FIRM;
Mr. Ross reiterated his former
statement that the company has no
dispute with its men. The company
could only deal with one labor organ-
ization, and did not propose to De
dominated by the same union which
oontrols the American soft coal mines.
He declared that the men now on
etrike had violated the contract with
the company, ridiculed any sugges-
tion that the company would grant
the demand of the U. M. W. under
any circumstances, and expressed per-
fect satisfaction with the progress of
the strike so far. As to the plans of
the company, he said they were go-
ing to work their mines, although
the present reduction of the output
did not affect them, except that it -
reduced their profits. They would
give the men every opportunity to
come back to work, and the places of
those who would not do so would be
filled by outside men.
WILL NOT RECOGNIZE U. M. W.
-"There is absolutely. no possibility
of the company recognizing the Unit-
ed Mine Workers," was ,Mr. Ross'
ansWer, when asked if any settlement
of the strike was in prospect. "There
is nothing at all to settle, anyway,"
he added, "The men are not strik-
ing for any grievance against the
company. We have. a contract with
them, signed on behalf of the men
by some of the leaders of the present
strike. Daniel McDougall, the head
of the U. M. W. here, is one of them,

London, July' 12.----3Iadar Lal Ditinagri,
the Inalen student, WO Ott the night of
July 1, at the conelusloo of a public
gathering at the Imperial Institute, shot
and killed Lieut. -Col, Sir William Rat
Curzon Wyllie and Dr. Caves Lalenca,
was to -day committed for trial at the
Old. Bailey for murder.
The police court proceedings lasted
the whole day ion, and but little new
evideuce was elicited. The prosecution
placed before the court doeuments,
containing the prisoner's handwriting,
whicb seem to show conclusively that
the crime was long premeditated, and in
reveuge for alleged: wrong in India. The
prisoner in a brief stateenent said:
"I do not wish to say anything in
defence of myself, but simply to prove
the justice of my deed. As for myself,
I do not think that an English law court
has any authority to arrest and detain
me in prison or to pass on me a sentence
of death, That is the reason why I
have not employed counsel. I maintain
that if it is patriotic for Englishmen to
fight against the Germans, if they oc-
eupy this country, then it is much more
justifiable and more patriotic in my
case to fight against the English. I
hold that the English people are • re-
sponsible for the murder of 80,000,000
of my countrymen during the last
fifty years and that they are also re-
sponsible years,
the taking from India
of one hundred million pounds every
year to this country. I also hold that
they are responsible for the hanging
and deportation of my patriotic country-
men, who do just what the English
here are advising their countrymen to
to. If the Germans have got no right
to occupy this country, then the Eng-
lish have im right to Occupy India,
and it is perfectly justifiable on our
part to kill any Englisbmen who Is
polluting our sacred land."
SAYS HE IS A PATRIOT,
After expressing surprise at the "hy-
pocrisy with which the English are
posing as champions of the oppressed
in the Congo and in Russia," Madarial
continued: dIn case tnis country is
occupied by the Germans, and if an
Englishman, angered at seeing the Ger-
mans walking about with the insolence
of comma -ors in the streets. of London,
kills one or two Germans and is•upheld
as ,,,a patriot, then certainly I am a
patriot, too, in working for the emanci-
pation of my motherland: I make this
statement not for the purpose of plead-
ing for mercy or anything of the kind.
I wish the English would sentence me
to death, for in that cause the vengeance
of my countrymen will be all the keener.
I put forward this statement to show
the justice of my cause to the outside
world, especially to our sympathizers in
Amerien, and Germany." "

••••••,,.
Foreign Nations Still Go to Britain
Loudon, ;Fhoary losing
her supremacy in sport? is a CilleStiOn
that has been brought very ranch to
the fore of late with the American vic-
tory at polo, the Australian success at
cricket and the Belgian. crew's good
showing at the Henley regatta, togeth-
er -with the American, African and Ger-
man wins in amateur athletic champion-,
ships, and the tact that three Austral -
inns played for Oxford and Cambridge
teas captained by a South African in the
varsity. cricket match. To gain their
places in the varsity elevens these men
had to excel the very flower of the
great English public schools,
Lord Gerzon took the opportunity at
a school inauguration to utter a protest
against "the Spirit of decrying our-
selves which is abroad in the land."
"We cannot take up the morning
papers," he said, "without reading of
the moral and physical decline of
our race. Oee da,y we are beaten at
inteniational cricket, another day we
are worsted in international polo, on
another .occasion some foreign aquatio
team takes from us the laurels of the
Thames, or, again, a foreign pastry
cook is discovered who can run twenty-
three miles quicker than any correspond-
ing champion in this country.
CURZON IN CAUSTIC VEIN
"Great Generals tell us we have no
army. We are beginning to be a, little
bit suspicious about the navy, and, of
course, we have a bad Government.
Then our national poets write poems
describing, in almost blood -curdling
tones, the decline and ultimate disap-
pearance of the race - every man over
fifty is a Cassandra, talking of the
bravo days of old and the bad times in
which we live.
"A. little pessimism may be a good
thing as a corrective for national van-
ity, but I venture to say there is too
much of a spirit of decrying ourselves
abroad in the land at this moment.
There is an element of hypocrisy and
cant in it, and perhaps there is some-
thing to be said on the other side.
"We know," he said, on the other
hand, "the saying that the judgment
of foreign lands is the nearest equiva-
lent ne can get to the 'enlightened
verdict of posterity. Take note of the
fact that foreigners are continually
coming here seeking to learn the
seorets of and imitating the institu-
tions which we at home are continu-
ally decrying. If a 'foreign power -
Japan, Persia, Turkey -wants to set
up a Parliament it is to England that
it looks for an example. •
"Take; again, the universities. Peo-
ple are constantly writing me from
abroad asking me to tell them the.
secretsenof Oxford and Cambridge,
how they manage to surround men
with a network of moral, social and
intellectual ties ivhieh remain -with
them for life. Lastly, we may take
the case of the public schools. Foreign
critics, with all the advantages of
superior scientific equipment and ex-
cellent organization' are always com-

COCAINE HABIT.
The Drug Dragging Down the
Youth of Toronto.
(Toronto News.)
Cocaine is demoralizing the youth of
Toronto.
There are in Tint:into, it is estimated,
between two huhdred and fifty and
three, hundred young people who are in
the elutches of this deadly drug.
A certain few dreggists make a prac-
tice of eatering to the cravings of these
slaves of, the fatal habit.
The traffic in this drug takes young
men and white girls into Chinese joints,
where their ruin is speedily consum-
mated.
Men are dying to -day in this city in
low dives as the direct result of the
cocaine habit because the drug is so easy
to procure.
The startling fact is that, while the
police know that this condition exists,
and, although the drug store which is
the chief -point of distribution for the
dug is not far from a police station,
within fifty yards of it, they seem
powerless to cope with flee evil.
