-The British Cabinet held a special
meeting on Thursday last, to discuss
(it.t
wasthought.) the proposals made
by one power for the intervention of
all the powers in the Russo-Japanese
war. The meeting caused much ex-
citement in London, being discussed
everywhere. Rumors that peace in
the Far East is at hand are stronger
than ever.

-One of the far-reaching results of
the war between Russia and Japan is
the scarcity and consequent high price
of camphor. This valuable gum forms
one of the important ingredients of
smokeless powder. In order to be
sure of a supply sufficient for a war of
indefinite duration, Japan has pro-
hibited the exporting not only of the
refined gnni, but of the crude product.
The output of Formosa, combined
with that of Japan, constitutes the
bulk of the world's supply,

-The Railway Age says that lt)5 is
to witness great activity in railroad
building. A tabulated statement
shows 7,500 miles under contract for
construction and 9,332 miles of pro-

expected to materialize. In Canada
the year will witness wonderful ac-
tivity in railway construction, includ-
ing the inauguration at several points
of work on another transcontinental
line, which is to add 3,100 miles to the
system operated by the Grand Trunk
Railway Company.

-A despatch from the North-West
says :-"There is general dissatisfac-
tion throughout the Northwest at the
proposed compromise on the educa-
tion clause, for it is generally realized
that the new wording practically gives
precisely the same privileges as of old,
though under a different name. If
the western members have agreed to
support Fitzpatrick on the revised
clause, they have yet to learn that
thereby they lose the support of their
own constituencies and make for
themselves a terrible day of reckoning.
-A* *
mass meeting was held in Mas-
sey Hall, Toronto, one evening last
week, to protest against the educa-
tional clauses in the North-West bills.
The chairman of the meeting was Sta.
pleton Caldecott, a veteran Liberal,
and Liberals were quite as prominent
on the platform as Conservatives. Mr,
Caldecott, in his opening speech, de-
clared that he had lost respect for the
Premier's judgment, It was, he said,
almost indecent on the Premier's part
to seek to thrust upon this people
legislation to which no Anglo-Saxon
should be subject. Mr. Caldecott asked
what the Ontario members of the
Cabinet were doing in this connection,
and declared if these sten were unal-
terably fixed in support of the educa-
tional clauses, their constituencies
would unalterably fix them when the
next election comes on.

-The WeeklySun comments thus
on the easter% conflict now raging
"The war in the East, now apparently
nearing a conclusion, is bound to have
far-reaching effects on industrial con-
ditions. China, with its teething pop-
ulation, will he quickened into new
life by the example of and more inti-
mate connection with the conquering
Japan. The; whole East will, as soon
as peace is restored, witness the open-
ing of an era of industrial expansion
. with a radical change in ancient eas-
tomns, Canada, as a near neighbor of
China and Japan, is bound to be mate-
rially affected by the changes which
will take place. One of the effects of
the new conditions should be an le-
crease in our flour and dairy exports
across the Pacific. We maty in return
find our Western market supplied
with canned fruits from China. The
situation is scarcely sufficiently (level -
make an award or give only advice.
If it'made an award, that award was
compulsory, under penalty of five hun-
dred pounds as a maximum fine on
any employer evading it, or any trade -
union; but if a trade -union had insuf-
ficient funds, each member was liable
to the extent of ten pounds. The find-
ing of this court was final and there
was no appeal. The bill was by its
original framer frankly named an ex-
periment well worth the trying, and if
a failure it could be repealed.
The courts have dealt with almost
every known trade, even to cooks and
waiters, and have given decisions on
hours of work, holidays, wages, piece-
work, number of apprentices, unionists
and non -unionists, and rights of em-
ployers in their engagement of the
sande, or of employees working side by
side with free labor; in fact, almost
every practical point has come within
their venue, and as the proof of the
pudding is in the eating, so we come
to the result, and we find that since
the law has been fairly at work, prac-
tically no -strikes or serious disputes
have occurred. No doubt there have
been some very. trifling matters. Had
this act come into force at a time of
depression, it would probably have
failed ; but times being good, and each
year as a, rule more prosperous than
the last, it was helped to become
thoroughly established ; and how, and
as long as the Snpreine Court Judge is
a man who considers the equity of the
cases (while not forgetting the legal
side), there seems no reason why it
should not have pelt an end forever to
serious or dangerous strikes.
Much of the socialistic legislation of
New Zealand has been successful,
