WiMain Mae= teenzle, President of the Canadian North - stem linilway, and the dominating fignee tne electrieeal sitnetion in Ontario, ratline(' borne yesterday. During the past two months Mr. Mackenzie has been. in the old country money markets, and hue *mid debenture stocks for two por- Vous ox ow Canadian Northern Railway eyetem. Tim fleet was an offering of X1,4100,000 of four per cent debenture stock, guaranteed by the two western Provinces. winch the new Race aye de- eigned te benefit. Theee. were sold at leT 1-e.

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 dividend on the Rio, I tan only say that the board has how considered the matter. For myeeif believe hi being conserve, live, and r think a four per cent. divi- dend wouid be that. I have not auther- 11' feed any statement that the' dividend would be five or six per cont., leit„whet the board gent over the statements I cannot pneeheser what it will (10.

NO BID FOR LIGHT STOCK . Mr. Mackenzie appeared interested in 44 latest details concerning the future ot the Toronto Electric Lipt Company. Ife said that he hod not given the coin - pally much. thought while ebroa0, and that be had certainly authorized no. offer for the contrel of the stock, Not 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. , HIDDEN BOOZE. 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. LOOKING FOR LOST. Searching For Bodies of Drowned in Squall Off New York. New York, Jan; Ie. -New.

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, - 4** GLOBE "SCOOP."

Will Revolutionize Traffic in the Great Metropolis. New York, July 19. -Two more of the suoterranean arms by which New York, is drawing °loser ite suburbs, quickened, with life to -day when the first electric train of steel cars whiz- zed throueh the new "McAdoo -tube" from the Church street terminal in New York to Jersey City. The two tunnels opened to -day are only a step in the plan which in a comparatively brief time will relieve New York of the embarrassment of its insular situation and make it pos- sible for the traveller from the west, the south, New England -from •any point in tba country in fact -to go through the city without leaving his train for a cab, trolley car or ferry, The opposite banks of the lower Hud- son now aro only three minutes apart. The twin tubes given over to traf- fic to -day connect down -town New York with the New Jersey mainland as a whole and with the Pennsyl- vania railroad station on the Jersey shore in j?articular. Two weeks from to -day it is planned to complete this system by opening the Traverse tun- nel connecting the terminal of the river tunnel at the Pennsylvania eta - lion with the Erie and Lackawanna etations. The extension of the up- town line of tubes from Twenty-third street to the Grand Central station is promired in two or three einars. To -day's event was marked by a Celebration in Jersey City, which fol- lowed the arrival of the first tunnel train this morning. As the train sped under the river every steam tug and locomotive up and down the great waterway let loose its whistle. Twenty bombs were exploded success- ively above the station trainshed. On reaching Jersey City the guests in the- train were taken in automobiles to the city where a giand stand had been erected and where speeches were made. All the public buildings in both cities and' many of the down- town stores were decorated in honor of the event. SMALL FRUIT. PRICES FOR STRAWBERRIES FELL PRETTY FLAT.

New Official a Friend of Sovereign He is to Advise, ••••••••,, Bernie July 19. -Germany's chance of pilotsq-.--the retirement of Prince Buelow and the accession of Dr. Theobald Von 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. They were students together at Bonn University, and fraternity brothers in the famous Borussia Society. • • LL FAIRS AND EXHIBITIONS.

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. LAWLESS MONTREAL A Pole and His Wife Held Up and Shot. Montreal, July 18. -Another daring burglary and. shooting case occurred on Forsythe street on Saturday night about 11 o'clock. Two men entered, a little grocery. kept by a Pole named Baeloski, and after demanding tobacco, one of them pulled. a revolver and shot Beclos- id in the groin, while he also wounded Mrs. Iliteloski in the shoulder. The two then rifled the till and got clear away. They, however, only secured three dol, tars far their trouble. Biteloski is seri- ously wounded, but his wife will rector - me No description has been secured of the bandits, and the memos of catching them seem slim. • -1 IN ALASKA.
