A UNIONIST SPLIT
Devonshire and Chamberlain
Write Bitter Letters.
PO"WI;RPUL PARTY DISRUPTED
Duke Suggested the Tarty Should D1,..
solve, But )jr. Chamberlain Wants s
Vote et the Aasecletlus—"Let the
Defeated Party Retire," lie Says
—Duke Wants Lt., Violent
Means of Dissolatioa.
London, Jan, 11.-(C,A.P,)-Refer-
ring to the correspondence between
Chamberlain and the Duke of Devon-
shire, The Chronicle says it marks
not only the break-up of the Union-
ist organizaticn, but Mr. Chamber-
lain's part throws sonic light' on the
tactics of the once powerful English
party.
Ritter correspondence.
An acrimonious correspondence be-
tween the Duke of Devonshire and
Joseph Chamberlain is published this
morning. Tho Duke wrote to Mr.
Chamberlain suggesting that the as-
sociation should dissolve owing to
the difficulty, of allocating funds now
that the party has become divided
by the fiscal controversy.
Mr.
Chamberlain a toniog rejoin-
der
en
-
] n
der said ho thought it best to "let
sleeping dogs lie," but that if the
Duke wanted to make a fiscal test
question, he "had best take a vote
of the members of the association
and lot the defeated party retire."
The Duke replied, objecting to such
a violent disruption of the associa-
tion, and asking for a friendly discus-
sion of the arrangements for disso-
lution.
Mr. Chamberlain closes the corre-
spondence by announcing that as the
Duke will not accept his views he is
determined to call a meeting on his
own responsibility, and that the
course to be pursued will be decided
at this meeting.
The correspondence between the
Duke of Devonshire and Mr. Cham-
berlain is considered as completing
the disruption of the Unionist party.
It is expected the Duke of Devon-
shire will resign, and that either Mr.
Chamberlain or Lord Lansdowne will
be elected president of the associ-
ation.
Tho London Press.
The Express says the Duke's letters
are evidence of the politician, irritat-
ed by his party, who no longer an-
swers the call.
The Telegraph says, after an hon-
orable existence, the Liberal -Unionist
organization is on the verge of com-
plete transformation, No doubt an
overwhelming majority of the Union-
ists aro with Chamberlain, but it is
curious that the cautious Duke, like
Saturn, would devour his own child-
ren.
The Times says the most conspicu-
ous feature of the correspondence of
the Duke of Devonshire was the pon-
tifical tone of his formal severance
from the Unionist party. It must
now be anticipated that Chamberlain
is not likely to set up a new extrane-
ous test, and Lansdowne is the best
choice for President.
Tho Standard says the correspon-
dence is another painful exemplifica-
tion of the strain of the fiscal con-
troversy which threatens to reducd
all the branches of the Unionist par-
ty to a hopeless wreck, as the man-
ner in which protection was intro-
duced has jeopardized the most pow-
erful party in English politics for a
century.
The News, under the bead "Great
Disruption," says Chamberlain, hav-
ing got rid of the Duke of Devon-
shire, will
now throw aside the Pre-
mier.
Surprised is Hoar It.
London, Jan, 11.-(C. A. P.D-The
Chronicle says the world will be
surprised to learn that Canada pro-
duces over half the nickel consumed
throughout the world.
Rill in. Resented,
London, Jan. 11.--(0. A. P.) -Mr.
Seddon, speaking at Wellington, Aus-
tralia, said the introduction of Chi-
nese hordes into the Transvaal would
be bitterly resented by the self-gov-
erning colonies.
)lorcenary Patriots.
London, Jan, 11.-(C. A. P.) -
Reynolds' Newspaper, referring to the
volunteering of Canadians for ser-
vice in Japan, says such mercenary
patriots as Chamberlain called the
entire world to admire are now fall-
en so low as to serve barbarians.
Premier Seddon's Promise.
London, Jan. 11.-(C. A. P.) -The
Premier of New Zealand, writing to
a correspondent at St. Helens,
says: "Whether or not they do any-
thing in England we will put an ex-
tra 40 per cent. on some lines, and
20 per cent, on others, which ought
to give British manufacturers a good
show. lie thinks the British manu-
facturer has much to learn in the
matter of freights, as Germans or
Americans ship goods 20 to 50 per
cent, less than the British, owing to
the open door policy held by British
workingmen. It was all nonsense to
say that trade follows the flag, as
trade follows the ships, and people
buy where they get the best terms
and are quickest served:"

London, Jan. 12.-A despatch to
The Times from Aden, Arabia, says:
"An engagement in Somaliland be-
tween a British force and the forces
of the Mad Mullah has resulted in a
severe defeat of the latter, who lost
one thousand men killed. The British
had two officers killed and nine offi-
cers severely wounded."
The War Office last night gave out
the following despatch, which had
been received from Major-General Eg-
erton, conunanding the Somaliland
expeditionary force, and which is
dated front Jidballi, Somaliland,
Jan. 11:
"Advanced this morning, 11 miles
to Jidballi. First brigade command-
ed by Manning, second brigade un-
der Faskin, and mounted troops un-
der Keenan Totaln
stre th
of the
g
regulars 2,200, irregulars 1,000. Jid-
balli held by 5,000 Dervishes. Mount-
ed troops enveloped enemy's right
and infantry advanced within seven
hundred yards of his position. Der-
vishes advanced, but were unable to
face frontal fire, coupled with
flank attack. Enemy broke and fled
and was pursued 10 miles. Der-
vishes killed estimated at 1,000,
mostly in the Pursuit. Many prison-
ers and rifles taken.
"I regret to report that two offi-
cers of regulars were killed and nine
officers wounded; five of the rank and
file wounded; of native troops seven
killed and 16 wounded. Of irregulars
two killed and two wounded. Am in-
clined to think this is the Mullah's
main force. The Mullah himself was
not present, but was expected at Jid-
balli to -day."
Major-Gcneral Fgerton's force was
camped last night two miles beyond
Jidballi.
A later despatch from Gen. Egerton
says that one officer, Capt. Irister,
is missing. Capt. Lister is Lord
Ribblesdale's son and heir.
Arousing in Thibet.
London, Jan, 12. -The Shanghai
correspondent of "The Daily Maill"
says that a Chinese resident of
Lhassa is raising troops in the Pro-
vince of Sze Chuen for service in
Thibet against the British advance.
ANOTHER "S00" STATEMENT.
Management Sees Success For the Proper-
ties in Future.
Montreal, Jan. 12. -The general
management of the Consolidated Lake
Superior gave out the statement yes-
terday that while only three of the
subsidiary companies were in opera-
tion, yet if the money for reorganize-
tion was forthcoming by Feb. 15 the
whole plant could be running by May
1 on an earning basis of $168,500
per month, or $2,022,000 per an-
num.
The pulp, veneer and saw mills
could be run as soon as the streams
were open. The steel plant could run
on American pig iron supply, as ore
to make their own pig could not be
'obtained before May 1. The char-
coal plant could not be run until the
steel plant opened, as there was no
market now for charcoal.
The pulp mill is earning $150 a
day over expenses, the Tagoma Wa-
ter and Light Company $50, and the
'Manitoulin and North Shore Railway
$20. The Algoma Central and the
street railways are paying expenses,

Evening Dresses -Inexpensive Ma-
terials -Styles in Making -Jewelry.
Evening dresses of net made with
gal leered skirts and worn over Liber-
ty satin, are very pretty and, if they
be washable, expense is reduced con -
.&d -rally, as the material can be util-
izad after being soiled and in a fam-
ily of girls perhaps made into some
of her 'garment or accessory. Some-
tim^s these net skirts are trimmed
with l:ac.t laid in medallions or indeed
in any way dictated by taste. An-
olh:r quite showy method of making
a net dress is in sun rayl kilts and
with this style rows of satin ribbon
can be used effectively, their soft
!glimmer 'harmonizing with the bril-
l:ant sun ray killings. After all,
however, there IS no material in quite
such demand as chiffon yelvet, the
name indicating, in part, its texture,
since with the familiar surface of vel -
vat, the heaviness often found objec-
tionable in velvet of the usual qual-
ity, is done away with and the new
variety lends itself readily to present
ideas in sort drapings or shirrings.
Taffeta silk should by no means be
omitted from the list of favorite ma-
terials, the mere so as it is often pick-
ed up on bargain counters to much
advantage anti may ba utilized in s.me
other way, when one is tired of it as
a gown. CO,'ice is another and not
very expensive material for evening,
and as the name would indicate, it
has a shining surface. For neighbor-
hood gatherings, where young pe. apl�
usually meet for enjoyment rather
titan show,,wool canvas inr white or
evening colors is ;quite stylish and, is
suitably trimmed with yak lace, Voile
is also to be, commended as compara-
tively inexpensive and stylish and
may be trimmed with wcol lace.
Mousseline voile is also quite hand-
some, and a gown recently worn by
a blonde, beauty is in pale blue shir-
red below I he Hips and again so as to
form a deep flounce. The shirring

A BUSINESS 'IAN'S LETTER.
Wm. Thomson, Esq., of Orillia, Vice -President Standard
Chemical Company of Toronto, Tells of a Visit
to the Muskoka Free Hospital for
Consumptives.
GREATLY IMPRESSED WITH WORK BEING DONE.
Personally Raises Several Hundred Dollars to Help
Lessen the Load of Debt.
There can be little doubt that the'National Sanitarium Association
is handicapped in its great work for Consumptives in tL' fact that its
two institutions in Muskoka are far away from any la centre of
._ h
population. Fe v people have an opportunity to see for themselves ,,�,
z.
magnificent work that is being clone.
These hospitals are away from the public eye. Any, however, who
do visit1
m are r e unl

c n dation
of the splendid
appointments of the place, and, best of all, of the real joy and hope
that is being brought to many suffering ones.
We are glad to have the opportunity of publishing the following
letter from Mr. Wm. Thomson, of Urillia, one of Canada's best known
lumbermen, which tells what the has seen Himself. It reads :

Toronto, Out.
My Dear Mr. Cage, -
I have much pleasure in enclosing herewith cheque for One Hundred
Dollars ($100.00) front the Tudhope Carriage Company of Ci'illia, a donation
t., the Free Hospital for Consumptives at Gravenluu'.t. Please acknowledge
this to the Tudhope Carriage Company in the usual way.
I have written to a number of my friend::, to try and get them interested
in this good Ito k. I hope to be able tosencl you further donations. I have
written my friends a personal letter, something similar to the following :
"Last, week I paid a visit to the Free Hospital for Consump-
tires at Cravenharst. I met some of the management there, and
promised to try and interest some of my friends in this work,
"I might say there were 40 patients there last week, all poor
people, most of them without a dollar in the world, an,l suffering
from the dreadful disease, Consumption. There are many sad
stories, and I know I have thought a greet deal about the work of
the institution ever since my visit there. i du believe it is worthy
of assistance, and we who have health anti the necessaries of life
should encourage this stork along.
"I understand the expenses lately have been double the
income, and unless the inalm'renlent meet with more encourage.
ment, I ant afraid the work will have to be curtailed. I know you
have many calls, but I do wish you would give this matter a,
thought, and, if possible, assist. I have written to two or three
confidentially, and hope to be able to collect some morn for this
work. Should you not feel like contributing a donation, remem-
ber this request, and your reply is just between you and me, and
strictly confidential.
" I might mention, to show that I have confidence in the
work, I have already given a donation of $100.00 and two row
boats to the .p'ree Hospital this year, and intend to give another
$100.00 before the end of the year."
Sincerely yours,
Sir Win. R. Meredith, Kt., or Mr. W. J. Gage, Toronto, will ret+ive
and acknowledge any contributions made.
