He will oppose its introduction into Constantinople. * -The Minister *of the Interior has notified the Doukhobors that they have two months in which they may become naturalized and make entry for their homesteads. Peter Veregin, their leader, is said to have advised his countrymen ymen not to become British subjects. *** -The Marine Beet Sugar Co, of Ma- rine City, Mich., is asking the privi- lege of importing beets from Ontario free of duty.

P. R. will have carried about 20,000,000 bushels of wheat from the West to Port Arthur, or an increase of 4,500,- 000 bushels over any previous year. Last year 12,280,000 bushels were han- dled, and in 1903, 9,900,000. The C. P. R. this year have about three thou- sand more cars than last, and about one hundred and sixteen snore en- gines. The equipment this year is stronger than in 1902 (the record crop year previous to the present) by 10,341 cars and 305 engines. The equipment for handling the grain is growing fast- er than the crop is increasing. * -The elections for the new Province of Alberta. have been announced for November 9th but the date for Sas- katchewan, in which Mr. Haultain is leading the Opposition forces, has not, yet been fixed. The delay in the case of Saskatchewan can bear but one ex- planation -the Dominion Government hopes to carry Alberta and expects the effect of victory there to make Haultain's task in Saskatchewan more difficult than it is now. This action is of a piece with that involved in ig- noring the man who was Premier of the old Territories when provisional governments were being formed for the new Provinces. This is surely petty politics, -[Weekly Sun, .*w --Referring to the recent death of Senator Pafford, Toronto Saturday Night has this to say :-The Senate is notoriously a useless body of men en- cumbering the legislative surface of the earth, and undeniably an expen- sive and difficult implement of the Government, and It cannot be too often said that the whole business is • branch of our legislative functions. It seems to be a place reserved for rich men who have neither time nor incli- nation to go through the irritating experiences of an election in order to gain a public position ; or a sort of legislative barnyard in which tired, out hacks and foot -sore politicians can be let loose against the public straw - stack with euough fodder in sight to keep theta front dying on the road- side. « « ----Russia is in a most deplorable con- dition, for at the present time the country is in a state of revolution. Human life is not safe, business is paralyzed, famine is threatening the workers, and the throne of the Czar is in danger. Unhappy land l When every energy should be bent on re- cuperation, after so costly and disas- trous a war, the reverse is the case. Revolution, anarchy and bloodshed prevail. Yet such drastic discipline seems to be necessary, for the people must be free. The twentieth century is too enlightened to permit long con- tinuance of the conditions that have hitherto prevailed in Russia. Besides, there is such a thing as "National Re- tribution." Russia has been autocra- tic, cruel and tyrannical, and she is reaping what she has sowed. If the people had been properly treated, they would have been more loyal and devoted, and the recent war might have terminated differently. Greed and corruption on the part of the rul- ing class have made the working mul- titudes angry, and repression has made them defiant. The subjugation of Poland and extinction of the liber- ties of the people there, as well as the banishment of Russian citizens to the wilds and horrors of Siberia, are now rising in fearful judgment against the Russian government. Let us hope that out of the awful crisis, liberty of speech, freedom for the people and good government may comae. There are however dark days yet for Russia, before proper conditions prevail. THE CANADIAN WEST. W. E. Curtis is writing a series of letters to the Chicago Record -Herald, on the above topic. From one of these letters, we glean the following, whicwill be of interest to our read- ers :h - "The Canadian Northern Company, which is building from Winnipeg northward to Hudson Bay, and north- westward to the Pacific, has no sub- sidy from the Government, but has a laud grant of 12,800 acres a mile. It now has 2,500 miles of track in opera- tion and is extending its line so rapid- ly that before the end of the present year it will have 3,000 miles, The firm of Mackenzie and Mann of Toronto are practically the owners. These gentlemen began in a small way, and it is said that in 1898 and 1899 they offered their entire interests to the Canadian Pacific and also to the Grand Trunk Company for $250,000. Now they say they would not sell out for fifty millions. They have built their line slowly and it has paid for itself. It crosses a country with an enormous, extraordinary producing capacity, and the Government land grant has been sold to actual settlers almost as fast as it has been earned. The company is now building at the rate of six miles a day. The main line runs from Port Ar- thur to Edmonton, a distance of 1,500 miles. Between Winnipeg and Ed- monton, 900 miles, it has exactly 100 stations, every one of them except two being wheat -receiving centers. Another line runs north toward Hud- son Bay, and there are numerous spurs, reaching into the richest wheat fields of Canada. Mackenzie and Mann have also acquired two lines which give them access to the St. Lawrence, both at Montreal and Quebec. They are gradually building and buying in Eastern Canada, so as to reach the Atlantic. They have recently pur- chased the Halifax and South -Wes- tern Railway in Nova Scotia, and the Inverness Railway and coal mines on Cape Breton Island, It is the ambition of Mackenzie and Mann to own a line of track between the Atlantic and the Pacific. They endeavored to secure the franchise which the Government has recently granted to the Grand Trunk Pacific, But they have never been especially favored by the Government, and the Grand Trunk people got ahead of them, This failure, however, has only stimulated their ambition and they are now driving their line toward the Pacific on their own account, de- pending upon their own resources and a valuable land subsidy. Thus, with- in a few years, it is almost certain that Canada will have three trans- continental lines. Hudson Bay is as large as the Medi- terranean -a great inland sea, and its fisheries, which have never been de- veloped, are as valuable as those of Labrador. It is not in the frozen zone, The winters are cold but not so cold or Stormy as along the Atlantic coast of tapper Canada and the United States, On its shores are immense bodies of timber which have never been touched, and to the westward are mountains believed to be as rich in minerals as the Klondike. The foothills of these mountains are cov- ered with nutritious grass, offering fine cattle ranges, and they slope down to open, well -watered prairies of great fertility. There is scarcely any rock. This is an important con- sideration for railway builders as well as for the farmers who are likely to locate there within the next decade, for it, is beyond controversy that the district between the great lakes and Hudson Bay will be settled like Min- nesota and the Dakotas before this a expensive, wasteful and corroding generation es." FiRG IN LUCKNOW. (Lnckuow Sentinel) The worst fire that has occurred in Lucknow for oval' twenty years took place about one o'clock Wednesday morning, when seven business places, were completely destroyed. The fire started near the west enol of the largo brick block on the north side of Camp- bell Street, known as the Campbell Block, and rapidly spread eastward, destroying Miss McColl's millinery store, A. Bennett's butter and egg store, John l'ilurchison's. C. P. R. of- fice, N. D, McKenzie's shop, Mrs, Campbell's restaurant and grocery store, A. T. Davison's furniture store and Mr. Thos. Watson's barber shop, So rapidly did the fitunes spread that despite the prompt arrival of the fire brigade and the work of the firemen and citizens the buildings are a com- plete wreck, and only a small portion of the contents of Davison's furniture store and Mr. Thomas Watson's bar- ber shop could be saved, Tho others were a total wreck, Mrs. Campbell and her daughter only escaping from the burning building with their night clothing on, and had they not been awakened by the smoke in their bed room they undoubtedly would have perished in the flames. How the fire originated is not known. Mr. Dun- can Matheson, of the Electric Light Plant was the first to give the alarm ; after closing off the electric lights at 12 o'clock he was on his way home when he saw the fire, The loss is a serious one, not only to the individu- al owners of the property, but to the village as a whole. The total loss will be over $15,000 on which there is only au insurance of about $7,000. So intense was the heat that all the fronts of the buildings on the opposite side of the street were badly damaged, including Thos. Lawrence's hardware store, W. W. Hill's grocery store, Harry Day's drug store, D. Thomp- a son's grocery store, H. Gallagher's harness shop, J. Agnew's shoe store, and Dr. Spence's drug store. The fire brigade did noble service and had it not been for our splendid system of waterworks the whole of the amain street would have been wiped out. Clairvoyant Medical Examination Free By DR, E.
