Square Robins Goderich SECT'S MAKE THREAI$. Christians Will Raze Holy Sepulchre 11 Turks Destrey Mosque. To the Christian recta of the Nur East, and including those of Russia and the Balkan countries, the most sacred place in the whole world is the space of ground of buildings oommon- 1 known as the Church of the Holy re. Ever since the Bishop Macariva, under the auspices of the Emperor Constantine the Great and his mother, the Empresa Heleas. dies covered about 396 A.D. what be be- lieved to be the tomb of the Ohrist and the place of His crucifixion, pil- grinis have been visiting the spot. Thousands annually now journey to Jerusalem at Easter time, and of Mese a large proportion are from asi• and the Balkans. And just se the Turks have threatened to blow up the Church of Bt. Sophia in Constan- tinople, also built by Constantine. be- fore they will allow the infidel to wor- ship in it again, so James F. J. Archi- bald is quoted as saying that the Church of the Holy' Sepulchre will be destroyed in reprisal if the holy war is ever begun by Islam. Mr. Archibald, who has just been in Turkey, is credited with saying that he was told by a member of the Turkish Cabinet that St. Sophia would promptly be dynamited if the conflict became primarily one of re- ligion. Curiously enough, it is the Moham- medan soldier in Jerusalem who now preserves peace and prevents fierce fanatical outbreaks in the place of all places which it would seem should be full of peace. The church consists of a large number of buildings of a ram- bling architectural nature. and it 'possesses many chapel's claimed by the different Christian sects as their own property. Orthodox Greeks, Ro- man aman Catholics, Armenians, Copts, Sy- riacs--all the many sects are certain that they poetess. the real sacred' places, and are ready"4o fight for their belief. Even the interior of the re- puted tomb itself—an impoun though tawdry structure built di under the central rotunda—is t� ipto three compartments, for Greek, Ro- man Catholic or Latin and Armenian, each claiming to be the actual spot where Christ's body lay.' The hatred of .the Christian sects in the 'East for one another is quilt as bitter as that of Christian for Moslem. So it happens that at the great feats of the church, when the Church of the Hole Sepulchre is crowded, fights and outbreaks ares frequent. In the past there has been much bloodshed; and so, to prevent serious oonsequentee from the fight. between Christians in the shadow of the tomb of the Prince of Peace, the Mohammedan has to stand guard. Just inside the entrance of the church a Mohammedan Sheik is al• ways stationed, and he has with him a- number of soldiers. Ordinarily his task is limited to collecting baeksheee from the traveler, but on feast days things become more strenuous and the guard is increased. ter T.

Details of Deal Whereby a Valuable Property at Prince Albert, 8aak., Got Into the Hands of a Friend of Hon. 'Bob•" Hogers—fon. Geo. P. Graham's Bill AAecting Railway Mien. — Ottawa, April 19.—Tbe history of a secret deal by wbioh ty acres with- in a mile of the of the city of Prince Albert, an, which is now listed at $36000, was allowed to be homesteaded by politioal friends of Hon. Mr. Rogers at a total oast of $10.00 a few months ago, was revealed in Parliament on Thursdayby Hon. Frank Oliver. The detals of the whole scheme were clear!y shown, togetber wipe letters and references to conversations which made Hon. Mr. Rogers' statement that he had no personal knowledge ot the matter appear in rather a strange light. But at the crack of the peaty whip Mr. Borden's follower+ by a majority of thirty-eight de eared that this method of presenting hundreds of thousands of dollars out of the public domain to party friends was a proper thing. Hot. Mr. Oliver showed that this tract of land had been put under reserve by the Conservative Gov- ernment, of 1895, while the Depart. mental records proved that it had heen reserved from the public at large throughout the whole of the Laurier Administration and until J. S. Donald- son, M. P. P. for Shellbrooke, and Conservative whip of the Saskatch- ewan Legislature, desired to secure it as a "homestead." ' The story as outlined by Hon. Mr. Oliver was that according to bis in- formation Donaldson was one of adele- gaticn from Prince Albert who visited the Ottawa Government in January, 1912. They tried to get hold of "some- thing good" but could not.. Donald- son, however, more favored, get on the track of this eighty acres, and later wrote Hon. Mn Rogers on his own behalf. Hon. Mr. Rogers had said that he had no personal knowledge of the transaction, but Mr. Oliver produced a letter from Donaldson to Hon. Mr Rogers dated February 14th, 19111 referring to former conversations with Mr. Bogen regarding this Lod, en- closinga map showing its exact loca- tion and asking for permission to apply scrip upon it. f am bound to assume from Mr. Rogers' statement," said Mr. Oliver, "that he never saw that letter. But I can• only say in view of the circum- stances which followed that the method of conducting the affair of the Department of the Interior is cer- tainly worthy of very serious criti- cism. This land which had been ander reserve since 1895 to February, 1912, at once came into action." There was considerable correspon- dence atter Donaldson's delegation and the officials of the Interior Depart - inept reported that this land appeared ' o be vacant and that there should be io objection to applying scrip to the first applicant., provided it was posted or advertised in the usual way. At this very time, however, • letter written by John 8. Fowlsy on Febru- ary 21st, 1913, referred to • personal interview with Hon. Mr. Rogers, when he was informed by the Interior De- partment that there was no laud in that vicinity for homestead entry. which showed that it was then under reserve, so that there was no iusti- fio•tion for Mr. Rogers' statement that it had been lett out by mistake of the previous Government. Then in some remarkable way this land suddenly ceased to be ender re- serve. On April 13th the Assistant Secretary of the Department at Ot- tawa wrote a tined official letter or in- quiry to the ageat at Prince Albert. Evidently some echo of this letter leaked out, because on April 16th Arthur Donaldson, son of J. 8. Don- aldson, M. P. P.. applied for the land and was granted homestead entry to this city property at • Dost of 510.00. Shortly afterwards he avoided home- stead duties by cancehiog the bonze - stead entry and getting a patent to the land under halt -breed scrip, while Hon. Mr. Rogers pointed out that there was apparently not even a pre- tence of enforcing the regulation to post or advertise such property for Ten of Them Resigned But After- wards Apologized Ten officials in the .employment- of the Toronto Hydro -Electric Commis- sion—the heads of every department in the service --tendered 'their resig- nations last Wednesday. The dis- missal of Acting Manager W.. R. Sweeney by the commission caused them to take such action. Later, however. they apologised and were taken back.

This is not a busi- ness transaction in the interlude of the people of Canada and 1 protest most energetically against being directly. iodirectly or any way held responsible for it. This land is land within • mile from the poetottice at Prins Albert, and the idea that land so neat the centre of the city could propefly be made subject to homes tead should ap- peal to anyone who considers the mat- ter as absolutely preposterous." Mr. Oliver further pointed out that under the Liberal Government the practice was in opening reserve lands for settlement to advertistp,tlsem. This caused dangerous rushes, to the prac- tise of offering such land by auction, subject to homestead conditions, was adopted. W hen lands later acquired speculative value, es did this land, it was decided that they should be trans- ferred to echoed lands, which would necessitate their being sold by auctinnl with fair play to all, while the Provin- cial Treasury would get the real value of the land. This Mr. Oliver proved by quoting instances when it had been done. - Had the Liberal practice been fol- lowed by Hon. Mr. Rogers the country would be anywhere from 5100,000 to 5350,000 richer. Hes.

The immediate cause of the bill was the pn,posal of the timed Trunk to change its terminals from Brockville to Presoott, which will involve the moving of hundr-1.. of men, the break- up of long established homes and in many instances the leaving of houses which represent the life savings of the Den, and leaving them in s position where the removal of tbm terminals would greatly reduce their value. The provisions of the bill were so eminentijl just that it was not even opposed by the Government rend its principle was accepted by the Minis- ter of Railways, who intimated that it was not greatly objected to by the railway oompaniep. Thisl.gistu.ion will of course benefit every railway employee in Canada with tbeexception of the Inter'eolonial and lye Government railway system, which are kept outside the jurisdiction of the Railway Commission by the Government. .9/NT HINT!
