THURSDAY, FEB. 23, '05 NOTES AND COMMENT The returning officer in Prescott County gave the casting vote In favor of Mr. Labrosse, Independent Liberal, and against Hon. Mr. Evanturel, ex - speaker of the Ontario House. • • All the powers addressed by Secre- tary Hay, of United States have signi- fied their assent to the general princi- pals of the integrity of China. nn uutt- ter what may be the outcome of the Russian -Japanese war. Sir Wafted Laurier stated in the House on Monday that Mr. Ayles- wot•th would not he a member of the Cabinent, he having leen defeated in Durham, and not desiring to stand for election in adother riding. • • For the decade ending June 30 last. Canada occupied thind position in re- gard to relative growth of its export trade. Japan conies first with 151.71 per cent, Argentine next with 131.86, and Canada third with 01.06 per cent. United States 85.11, and Tnitvtl King- dom :3;3.23. • • On July 1st next the Canadian Gov- ernment will take over from the lin- perial authorities the Halifax and Es- quimalt defenses. At present all the Dominion does is to pay part of the cost of the defense at Esduimalt. The wish of the British Parliament was that Canada pay one and a quarter million dollars to maintain the defen- ces. and leave the contraet in tete bands of Britain, but Canada has otfeied to assume control and foot the whole bill about two million. This offer has been accepted and in July next Cana- da will continence to control her own defences. • • During the fiscal year 1903-4 the fol- lowing expenditures were made by the Public Works Department on works along Lake Huron: Goderich $18,817.73; St. Joseph, $4.601.11; Grand Bend, $203.01; Sarnia, $5,651.40; Kin- cardine, $3, 088.15; Bayfield. $9,136,70; At Grand Benp the work has just com- menced. A contract was let to Mr. John D. \Varick tot• the sura of $21, 388 for the construction of a wharf at the Bend. if some of this money and maty other similiar sums that are ex- pended at other points in Canada were applied to reducing the National Debt or the Customs duties, it would be uiot•e to the point. •• Stratford hockey team broke the tie with Goderich in Berlin on Mon- day night, and won the round by 7--2. Goderich was the wiundr in this dis- trict O.H.A., and Woodstock in the next district, but owing to 'Woodstock having' been suspended after having won from Goderich, Stratford and Goderich played the septi -finals, In the first game at Goderich the home tea HI won, and in the second at Strat- ford the Stratford team team won. making the number of goals in the home and horse games even. The tie was broken in Berlin and Stratford won. Stratford and Berlin stet on Berlin ice on Tuesday night when the latter• won by 1.1 in the first of tate home and horse games. • • It is expected that the ('anadain Government will shortly grant auto- nomy to the territories. There will he two Provinces. Alberta and Sa- skatchewan. Edmonton will probably he the provisional capital of Alberta, and Regina of Saskatchewan. The choice of permanent capitals will be left to the Provincial Legislatures. The dividing line will likely le the 110 meridian. Alberta may take in the whole of Athabaska District. Just how fair not th the provinces will ex- tend is not yet known. The (';Inadinn (lovernnient will retain control of the Mounted Polite. Tho probable num- ber of members for each province is 26. s • The gross earnings of the railways of Canada daring the last fiscal year were $100.210.4311. contributed 461.673,- 319 from freight traffic, and 426.001,- 831 by passengers; $1,031,662 was for the carriage of snails and express, and $1,01.2.02.2 cavae from other sources. The operating expenses amounted to 471.563,161. divided as follows: (ien- era! and °periling charges.$29,151,00I; cost of motive power, 425.879,359; maintenance of way and buildings. $15.569,060; maintenance of cars, $6,. 9611.767. The net earnings were $25,- 056,271, This sntn was available for meeting interest charges on the $119.- 111,036 of bonded indebtedness, Anil the $115,559,112 of preference, and $:348.158.117 of ordinary stock.

Russia Considering Terms. The question of peace has not only been for►natlly discussed, but the con- ditions on which Russia is prepared to stake peace have practically been agreed upon. These are as follows:— Corea to be replal►ed under Japanese silze1•aignty. Port Arthur and Liao Tung penin- sula to le ceded to Japan. Vladivostok to be declared a neutral port, with an open door. Eastern Chinesa Railroad to be placed under neutral administration. Manchuria as far north as Harbin to be restored as an integral part of China. The difficulty lies in settling the question of indemnity, upon which it is known that Japan insists. but it is thought that this difficulty is not in- superable. The most trustworthy opinion at St. Petersburg is that in view of the internal situation and the enormous difficulty in carryingon the war, peace on the terms outlined can he concluded within a comparatively short time if the indemnity question can he arranged, bat it is quite pos- sible that Russia will risk another battle before it decision is reached. Uncle of Czar Assassinated. Moscow, Feb, 18,—Within the walls of the fair -famed Kremlin Palace, al- most underneath the historic tower trot) which Ivan the Terrible watch- ed the heads of his enemies falling be- neath the axe on the famous Red Square, and within a stone's throw of the great hell of Moscow, Grand Duke Sergius, uncle and brother-in- law of Emperor Nicholas and the chief of the reactionaries, met a terri- ble death shortly before 3 o'clock yes- terday afternoon. The deed was com- mitted by a single terrorist who threw beneath the Grand Duke's carriage a bond) charged with the same high pow- er explosive which wrought Minister Von 1'lehve's death. The missile was loaded with nails and fragments of iron, and its explosion tore the im- perial vietiui's body to ghastly frag- ments, which stewed the snow for yards around. Every window in the great lofty facade of the Palace of Justice was shattered, and bits of iron were imbedded deeply in the walls of the arsenal, a hundred yards away. London, Feb, 19.—"In Socialist cir- cles the news of the assassination of Grand Duke Sergitis has not caused much surprise. This is a► first of a sea les of political executions which wetedecided on immediately after the massacres of St. Petersburg by the In- ternational Social Democratic Organi- zation at the headquarters, which are in Switzerland, Tntb Czar himself was among those who were solemnly condemned to death at the plenary meeting of the committee of this or- ganization, fund the fact was publish- ed in their official organ a couple of weeks ago." Moscow, Feb. 21.—The assassin of Grand Duke Merging maintains an at- titude of profound indifference. When pressed to reply to questions he de- clared that all Otitis of the author- ities would have no result. Before his victim was laid under earth other vic- tims would be found. Regarding his motives the assassin said he only act- ed in the interests of an oppressed peo- yle. He considered the deed was an act of duty, The Grand Duke had for year•9 violated every canon of ordinary decency and ruined the country while exploiting the weak will of the Em- peror for their own ends. They had made hint n tyrant so people execrated him. He was aware that the Emperor was an innocent dupe and his party had decided to deliver the Emperor frorn the influences surrounding hitt in the huge that he might some day join in the movement and become the head of a national government based on western lines. Neither the police nor their spies, he added, will he ahle to protect those who are doomed to death, ars Feed your hair; nourish it; give it something to live on.

Short Hair M � 1 Farmers' Institute Meetings. The South Huron Farmers Institute meetings were held in Exeter on Wed- nesday afternoon and evening of this week. A great deal of interest Is be- ing wanifested in the wotk of the insti- tute by the farmers and others of this neighborhood and a large number of people were in town. even in the face of the fact that the highways ate an exceedingly poor condition fo►• travelling, owing to the great depth of snow. AFTERNOON. The afternoon meeting took place in the Town Hall mid was very large- ly attended. The gathering was per- haps the largest and most represent- ative that has been held in Exeter for several years. Afany ladies were pres- ent. The chair was occupied by Mr. Thomas Fraser, of Brucefield, the President of the South Huron Instit- ute. Mr. Fraser opened the meeting by delivering an address on the objects and workings of the Institute. Mr. Fraser is a good speaker and handled his subject well, showing the value of the institute meetings to the progres- sive farmer and housewife. The chairman then called upon Mr. John Donaldson, of Nova Scotia. He delivered a most excellent address on keeping up the fertility of the soil by a proper rotation of crops, a subject of much interest and moment to the fernier. Every successful farmer knows that a great deal of his success depends on the knowledge he possesses of the soil he cultivates, and of the proper grains or roots to sow or plant in succession to others which have just been harvested. Mr. Donaldson gave much valuable information along these lines. The next speaker was Miss B. Mad dock, of Guelph, who for at shot time addressed the meeting, after which the ladies in the gathering adjourned to the Opera House, where Miss Mad- dock spoke to thecal during the remain- der of the afternoon on the importance of the Ladies' Institute and Home- making. Mr. T. B. Carling, of Exeter, was next called upon to address the aud- ience. His subject was, "The Care and Management of Poultry." Mr. Carling is a breeder of the very choic- est of poultry, and may be considered an aut hority on the subject upon which he spoke. His address was probably the best that has ever been given in Exeter on this subject, and was filled with thoughts of much value to all who raise poultry either for breeding or laying purposes. "Fruit Orchard and Garden" was the subject taken by Mr. Fred Shep- pard, of Queenston, a subject of the greatest importance not only to the farther 1►wt to every man having in charge the maintenance of a fancily. He dealt with the cultivation of fruit, both large and small, with great abil- ity and effect. EVENING. The evening session partook of the nature of an entertainment and was held in the Opera House. The house was comfortably filled by people from town and country, all anxious to hear the program and to evince by their presence that they were greatly inter- ested in the welfare of the tiller of the soil, even if not directly engaged in the occupation themselves. The chair was filled by Mr. T B. Carling and the prog►•ant, which vas a good one, con- sisted of addresses, singing, recitation and musical selections. The parts of the pr.agt•ant that were of a concert nature w•ero supplied by local talent, among whom were, Miss Anty Johns, Miss Mary Murray, Miss A. Martin, Mr. L. ('. Fleming, Mr. George E:acr•ett, Mr, Jos. Senior and the Orchestra. The musical pacts of the entertainment were well rendered and well received, as were also the address- es delivered Ipy Mr. Fred Sheppard on "Making Farm Life More Attractive"; Miss B, Maddock on "A Girl's Possi- bility"; and Mr. John Donaldson on "Progress of Agricultnre," The meeting ended with the sing- ing of "God Save The King." The President, Mr. Fraser; the Sec- retary, Mr. Smillie. and the other directors of the Institute feel much pleased with the eminent success of their Exeter meeting, and they are certainly to De congratulated there- on.
