struction of • a line from Toronto to
Niagara Valls, with an extension from
Toronte to Port Hope, Belleville, and
Smith's Falls, to Ottawa to join exist-
ing lines to Montreal- and Quebec via
Ilawkesbury.
At his home last evening Mi, Mac.
kenzie stated to a representative of
the Globe that. work upon the line to
Niagara, Palls would be commenced in
the near future, Mr. Mackenzie said
it was to be expeeted that 'the
new 3no would be a steam railway
at first, and that a part of the Eke -
Weal Development Company's right
tif way Would be used, As to the ques-
tion of terminals, he said the project
had net yet advanced so far ehat their
location had been definitely settled. The
present terminus of the Electrical Devel-
opment Company's pole line is near the
north limit of the city, close to elle
Mackenzie's reeldefice, but the railway
magnate would not say that the method
of entering Toronto had yet been arrang-
ed. He said, however, that it might be
necessary to deviate from the present
right of way at some point between this
city and Niagara Falls, where it is .prac-
Gray certain the new line will cross
the Niagara River.
LONDON MARKET EASY.
With regard to the London market.
Mr. Mackenzie said that money rates
were still very low, and that he could
see nothing that would cause any cen-
eiderable strengthening. of the market
in the 'near future. ",tust before I left
London over -night money was lending
at one-half of one per cent.," said Mr:
Mackenzie. "The market was in a recep-
tive condition for new issoee, and all of
the Canadian loam which were put -on
while I was there went very well. We
intended that oar offering- of debenture
stock covering the' proposed -western
lines and guaranteed by the presrie Pro.
vieces should be offered, at 99, bat the
Grand Trunk Pacific fours had just been
sold at 97. However, the pablic response
te our western issue. was veey satisfac-
tory,- the whole amount I.ring sub-
scribed. There is, as far as could dis-
cover, no sentiment against eeftnadian
securities in London as the result of any
legislative action which has been taken
in this country. If there is, I did not
meet those 'who conld hays told me
about it. It is all a matter of price,
and our securities bring what they are
worth in competition with othee offer-
ings. With the new British stock and
income taxes proposed there is a great
deal of dissatisfaction, and the protests
froM the city have been most vigorous.
It remains to be seen, however, just
what influence the masses will have..
They are little injured by the new 'taxes
and thy will possibly cordially support
the legislation. It is undoubtedly true,
however, that erilke Asquith's leudget
will drive a fereat deal of British money
into foreign investments, but it has been
going there for a long time. to es-
cape the new taxes, a Britisher invests
in foreign securities, he will be forced
to invest the income also, for the in-
come tax laws are very etrice„ much
more so, for instance, than they are
here."
C. Ne R'S. ACTIVITIEd.
As to hit own enterprises Mr, Mae-
ketzie said -that the Canadian Nettie
ern would build between four and
five hundred milee of new lines in the
nest. this sumMer. Hn made the hin
portant announcement that the line
from Selwood to Port Arthur was prac-
tically located, and that it would be a
good working line. The building of new
lines in the west would have to be pie-
ceeded with tepidly as the country (level.
oped, Manitoba was pretty well served
with railroads now, he said, but farther
west.there were great offerings. Prom
Quebec to Garneau junction Mr. Mae-
keirtie travelled on the new line of the
Canadian Northern Quebec system,
which is not yet opened to the public.
He expreseed himself as being -highly
pleesed with this bit of roadbed, a
portion of which la Laid along the shore
of the St. Lawrence; following the course
of the river.
"We must keep on Wilding, and so
nmst keep on borrowing," said. Mr.
Mackenzie, "and when you go for any-
thing, even to borrow, it is very satis-
factory to get what you want."
THE RIO DIVIDEND.
As chairman of the betted of the Rio
de Janeiro Tramevay, Light & Power
Company, Mr. Mackenzie eiscussed the
reeent break in the prio of that steels.
1143 did. not know the reason tif the
break, but he had. been told that on-
tinental centres had overbought. , They
had put the stock up a little bight for
a tent-dividetui payer. The underwriters
had taken ie high, but they were look.
ing ahead few years, Then it was
poesible that some gelling had come from
the estate of Charles. Morrison, the
great British capitalist, whose death
occurred recently.
'911e. Morrison,4 said Mr. Mackenzie,
"ftecumulated a gt.cat deal of his wealth
by underwriting issues of etock, and he
probably had considerable holdiogs of
the Letia-American securities. At to a

thie connection, but in another period
of the interview, in discussing, in fact,
the recent fusion of the Mexican Power
and Mexicao Tramways Companies, Mr.
Mackenzie remarked the vast economies
which resulted from the operation of
power, lightieg and tramway plants by
a single company. He said that this was
being demonstrated daily, and that be
returned from. his. latest trip to the cen-
tres of Greet Britain more convinced
than ever of the future of public owner-
ship. The Toronto Railway Company
this yeer, he thought, would. turn over
half a million dollars to the city. That
was proportionately as well as any eity
was receiviog from its tramway system.
"At the same time the Toronto Rail-
way Company earns more money per
capita of population then any city that
I know of. What's the reason? The
people here ride a great deal, that's all.
The city of Toronto is prosperous. Very
few cities have advanced as it has in
the past seven years. It probably felt
the commercial setbeek less 'than any
other city,"
Mr. Mackenzie will make an inspection
of the western Canadian Northern lines
within short time. He was very
pleased to hear of his partner, Mr. D. D.
Mann's, estimate ef a western wheat
crop of 140,000,000 bushels, and more
pleased- to think that the Canadian
Northen would carry its full share of the
crop this year. ,

How It Was Being Smuggled Into
Owen Sound in a Buggy. •
Galvanized Metal Vessel With
Whiskey Under Seat.
Toronto, Ont, July 19 -Inspector Beck-
'ett, ono of the provincial license offic-
ers at Olean Sound, discovered and
checkmated a brand new scheme for
smuggling liquor into local option dis-
tricts: Some daye ago Mr. Beckett met
a man driving into Owen Sound from
Meaford. The Inspector got suspicious
and halted him, making 'inquiries con-
cerning liquor. The man denied any
knowledge of .any of the stuff, but the
Inspector decided to search the rig. Un-
der a receptacle, the inspector found a
galvanized metal vowel, telenty-fierei
inches long by seventeen wide, and
seven deep, filled with whiskey. The
driver's name was Thomas Porter, but
the buggy was not his own, and as he
claimed that he had no knowledge of
-what the vessel.contained, but was mere-
ly delivering it, Magistrate Rutherford,
before whom the matter was laid, took
no action against him. The liquor was
confiscated.

FELL INTO
THE CHANNEL
Frenchman's Plucky Effort to Fly
Across It Failed.
Flew Straight as an Arrow For
Sixteen Miles,
Rescued by Torpedo Boat Destroy -
elf Which Followed.
Calais, July 19. -Herbert Latham, the
Vreneh aviator, after waiting for over a
week tor e favorable opportunity to At-
tempt a tught at crossing the Channel
from Calais eo Dover, made A start this
morniuge but after covering. about 10
miles, and while at a great height, the
motor failed, and the machine fell into
the water. The remelt torpedo boat de-
stroyer Ilarpon, however, was close at
hand when the aecident occurred, and
eeeeued both Latham arid bis moneplane.
Letham's stare was made from the tote
of the cher at bangate, and under most
propiti ons m s tances. A sti breee:
winch was blowing yesterday subeided, t
dusk, and the clear, starlit night indi-
cated that pertect conditions would. isre-
t.veallnipait tdoaybreak foe the long delayed at.
-erOSS the Channel.. Aueicipat.
mg an, early start, Latham slept in the
shed of /he old tunnel works„at the foot
of the cliff, where the monopiane was
housed, while M. Lebavasseur and the
Associated Press correspondent and the
carpenter of the machine, who was to
give the signal when the start was to be
made, slept on board the torpedo boat
destroyer Harpon, off Cape Gris-Nez.
At the first streak of dawn M. LIU-
= came out of the shed, clapping his
hands with joy at the sigbe of the
smooth, crestless sea. The sky wae
overcast, but the wind Was hardly per-
ceptible. A few minute's later A gun
fired on the Harpon confirmed the dee-
acroplanist'e opinion that conditions
were right, and an automobile was des.
patched to •Calais to enrolee the wither-
ities• that a start would be made between
6 and 7 o'clock.
While the monoplane was hastily tak-
en. out and pushed to the top of the cliff
a crowd of several thousand persons as -
'ambled to witness the start, and the
entire population of neighboring villages
lined the shore below. Latham was in
rare good humor, as he carefully in-
spected. every part 'of the machine, and
on making several trials with the eight
cylinder motor found the machine per-
fect. There was a wait of one hour un-
til the torpedo boats and tugs strung
out in a line towards the horizon, took
up their position. Finally, all was in
readiness, and, the monoplane was push-
ed back 200 yards from the crest of the
cliff, which has a precipitous fall of 200
feet to the set. Latham was clad in a
knickerbocker suit and had donned a
life preserver. He showed. no signs ,of
nervousness as he shook hanels• with his
friends on mounting the saddle.
"Start the motor," he cried to his tee-
sistants, and then, with a nod of his
head and the words "See you in Do-
Yer," threw the starting lever off, the
Maehine running along the ground with
inereased momentum at every turn.
Just before reaching the edge of the
cliff the aeronaut touched the horizon-
tal lever, -and. the machine, with its
white outstretched. wings; rose grace-
fully and sailed oue over the shining
waters, amid a roar of cheers from the
cliff and shores, The monoplane, &fem.
lereeing the cliff, asCended gradually un-
til it probably was 300 feet above the
sea. Then, straight as an armee it con-
tinued, its flight towards the English
coast, apparently . under perfect control,
at a rate of about 35 miles an hour. The
black hulled. destroyer, Ifaxpon, kept
almost under her aerie]. companion and
at the end of 15 minutes both disap-
peared in the haze on the horizon.
When lest seen the monoplane was
only a brilliant speck on the horizon
zwointh. a, trail of blue smudge from the
motor. The Harpon was below the hori-
e.
The docks and 'streets along the water
front were black with people when the
torpedo boat destroyer entered the har-
bor at half -past nine with M. Latham
and Lebavasseur aboard. The daring
sky pilot received a tremendous ovation,
and on landing it was with difficulty
that he made his way through the cheer-
ing throne's. Dozens of times he was
compelleeto kiss girls (1) who thtew
their arms -about his neck.
In response to inquiries M. Latham•
shouted repeatedly that he was ale right.
He said the motor failed about twelve
miles met, and owing tO the slowing
down of the engine he was •unable to
remain longer en the air. The aviator
was not injured, neither was he dis-
couraged, and declared his intention of
again trying to cross the channel,

Betfunaon-Halweg as the fifth chancellor
of the empire-pi.actically re-esteblishes
the autocratic power of the Kaiser in
foreign affairs, At least, the fatherland,
fiode itself exactly where it was before
the outbreak of the national storm of
indignation last November,
That is the overshadowing feature of
the historic event which took place in
Berlin last Wednesday. under such amaz-
ing circumstances -amid the simple en-
vironment of a terrace back of the royal
castle and in full view of the otreet full
of gaping, awe,strnek citizens. William
IL has crone many strange things in his
time, but none more steggering than this
open-air setting for a solemn act of state
has been recorded for many a day.
With the departure of Von Buelow
the one breakwater between the Kaiser
and a self-willed, personal government
hes undoubtedly been swept away. The
new Chancellor is an absolute amateur
in the subtle field of diplomacy and for-
eign politics. Not only has his bureau-
cratic career been confined to the narrow
provincial lines of local government and
home administration, but his entire
makeup, bearing and temperament are
of a characCer wholly different from
that regarded as essential for a states-
man required to deal With professional
diplomats.
It hardly seem likely that such a man
ia a chancellor to keep much of a check
on the ardent William. One of Von
Buelow's cardinal virtues was his ability
to manage the Kaiser. He had always
done So with more or less success, but
had contrived to accomplish the trick
thoroughly since the country expressed
its opinion of William's ebullitions last
winter. Nobody knows for certain, but
the keenest observers believe that the
Kaiser now regards himself as "a free
man" again, and that he will proceed
without mueh delay to demonstrate the
prophetic accuracy of Bismarck's setate-
meat when the present Emperor was
still in his teens: "This young man will
be his own chancellor."
Von Bethmann-Hohveg, however, may
prove to be made of tougher fibre than
people think. .1.Ie enters' his offices as
Von Buelow's direct political heir. The
dancellorship was bequeathed to him
exactly in the same fashion that Theo-
dore Roosevelt handed down the presi-
dency to William Taft. He hasesbeen
Von Buelow's candidate from the start,
and is unquestionably pledged to con
tinue the Von Buelow's policies. If he
finds the backboneeto do so, all will be
well, and. William will remain in the
state of partial eclipse which the melee'
ordered for him in November.
The new Chancellor has a marked
strain of Jewish blood in his veins
through the Bethmann branch of his
family, the founder of which was driven
froM Holland in the seventeenth cen-
tury by auti-Semitie persecution. With
the Colonial Secretary, Herr Dernburg,
he becomes the second Imperial Cabinet
Minister of Semitic origin.
No contemporary German statesman
has ever been more intimate with the
Kaiser than his new Prime Minister.

PAY DAY
WAS QUIET,
Military Guard Placed Over Coal
Company's Offices,
••••••••,•••••••
Both Operators and Strikers Claim
They Are Sure to Win.
Report That Company's General Of,
fices Were to be Dynamited,
Glece Vay, July 16.- Entering on
the third week of the strike at . the
collieries of the Deminion Coal Com-
pany, both the U. X. W., the P. W. A.
and the Dominion Coal Company are as
confident of victory as ever. The cone,
prtny and the P. W. A, point te the fact
that on Friday and Saturday of last
week over 4,000 tons was taken from the
mines each day and about 3,000 tone
more from the bankhead, and claim that
this shows the strike is gradually break-
ing up, The U, M. W, declare that their
men are standing by each other loyally,
and that they will continue to do so
until their demand for recognition is
granted. They say they are taking care
of all their men who need assistance,
and they can easily continue to do so
for a very considerable time. They also
claim that they have the company so
badly cripeded that it is only a question
of time before they win.
In consequence of a ruzhor that an
attempt vonld be made to blow up
the general offices of the Coal Com-
pany, a guard from the Royal Can-
adian Regiment has been on duty
thole for the past two nights. There
was some speculation as to why this
guard should have been stationed there,
and why they first made their appear-
ance, on Saturday night, but during yes-
terday it developed that information had
been received by the company that an
attempt might be made to blow up the
building. Whether it was from strikers
or a gang of thieves with designs on
the 8100,000 stored in the building for
the payment of the men at a number of
the mines that the attack was feared
is not known.
All the officials of tbe Coal Com-
pany denied knowledge of reasons for
the detachment of troops being sta-
tioned at the offices when questioned
to -day, but it rater developed that a
man came into No. 2 colliery office and
stated to an official there that the gen-
eral office would be blown up during
the night. While the officials of the
company did not believe that there was
anything in the report, they did not
care to run any chances, and a cordon
of sentries was placed around the build-
ing.
Not for many years its there been
such a quiet pay night in Glace Bay
as Saturday night proved to be, Not
one arrest for drunkenness was made;
not a drunken man was seen on the
streets. There were crowds on the
streets, but they were highly orderly.
All the town policemen were on duty,
and in addition a guard of the Royal
Canadian Regiment was mounted on
the Bank of Montreal and the company's
offices, whore a large amount of money
was stored for the payment of the men
at many of the mines. It was a fine tri-
bute to Chief Me,cIsaae and his men to
License Inspector Philipott, and to "the
citizens generally, that there was abso-
lutely no dishrder. As a general thing
there are anywhere from ten to a score
of arreses on a pay -night, for in a min-
ing town of twenty thousand inhabitants
some of it is almost,certain to' find its
way over the bar. There are no licenses
in --ace Bay, and since the inaugura-
tion of the strike all the bars have been
closed up tight.
The last two or three days have
brought few developments. The com-
pany claim that the output on Satur-
day was about the same as Friday,
when they state 6,666 tons of coal was
secured from the banks and mines. These
statements are, of course, denied by the
U. M. W. men. Men are leaving the
country and others are being brought in.
A contingent of forty or fifty left to-
night to work on the G. T. P., and
and about two hundred more men arriv-
ed by the steamer °eland from Montreal
on Saturday night and were taken out
here and placed at work at various
points. The company claim that they
will increase their output materially in
the coming week, while the U. M, W.
deny this.
The statement that the conciliation
board in the dispute at Sydney Mines
had found against the U. M. W. caused
a lot of interest here, and it is very
generally believed here to mean another
strike. It is not likely that any action
will be taken until the report ot the
board is made public.
