Change in Attitude of the Russian
Government.
REACTION IN ilielCENDANT.
The Sl. Petersburg correspondent et
the Londaon Tinges remarks upon the
radical change in the Government's at-
titude in favor of reaction, citing among
other indications, an article in the No-
voo Vre•mya, Inspired by Count Witte.

declaring nl
l
90th in no wise affects the status of the
autocracy and warning the Douala Uiat
ft will be dis olvol if it attempts to
meddle with tho fundamental Laws of
the empire.
Count \Vitte's secretary has telegraph-
ed to Moscow, contradicting a statement
that the Czeu• would swear to observe
irhe constitution.
Twelve hundred frontier guards have
been brought to St. Petersburg to
strengthen the garrison.
The Government forces continue slow-
ly to conquer the south-eastern part of
the empire. Novorossisk hos been re-
captured after having been held by the
insurgents for three weelcs.
M. Kokovsleff, Minister of Finance, in
submitting the budget to the Council of
the Empire, pointed out that there was
QQ deficit of about 480,000,000 roubles
W40.000,000), due to the non -Inclusion
M the war expenses in last year's esti-
mates. This must be met with a loan.
'The Minister admitted that the finances
of the country had been shaken by the
war and the internal crisis, but he was
confident they would be restored if the
disorders ended. Ile announced that
this would be the last budget to be ex-
amined solely by the Council, as the
B ouma would be hereafter empowered
) co-operate in examining it.
ATTACK MILITARY TRAIN.
A despatch from Riga, Livonia says:
News has just reached this city of a dar-
ing nitempt of the rovolutionists to cap-
ture a military train conveying a large
sum of money from St. Petersburg to
Ltbau. A band of revolutionists having
advance information gathered at Hazen-
pot, burned two bridges and tore up the
track. Two cornpaiiles of infantry
which were escorting the train lett the
ears and were Joined by a detachment
of dragoons. This torten marched
against the revolutionists, who, front

fists, charged with the bayonet, and the
dragoons completed the rout by sabring
the revolutionists they overtook.
THE OLIVE BRANCH.
The St. Petersburg correspondent of
the London Tinges says he hears the
Government has privately informed the
labor leaders that fl January 22nd, the
anniversary of "Bloody Sunday," passed
quietly, repressive measures will be sus-
pended the next day. Ile adds that the
Council of the Empire has commenced
the discussion of new regulations for
the suppression of the popular uprising.
The minority favors the preliminary USe
of blank cartridges, but the majority
thinks this would only embolden mobs
and lead to greater bloodshed after-
wards. Tho whole police force of St.
Petersburg will be armed with rifles
shortly.
Count Witte, in receiving n deputation
from the league of October 30th, pro-
mises the removal of the restrictions for
which Minister of the Interior Durnovo
is responsible, but the Premier showed
that ho believed the restrictions had
been necessary. He said:-
"There
aid:"There was a time when f sought the
confidence of the people, but such illu-
sions are no longer possible. 1 have al-
ways opposed repression, but have been
compelled to resort to it as the result of
having trusted my countrymen-"
OFFICERS ARRESTED.
A despatch from St. Petersburg to a
London paper reports the arrest of eight
artillery officers of the St. Petersburg
garrison on the charge of being engaged
in a conspiracy to blow up the. Troilsky
bridge and to capture the fortress.
WILL SELECT THE FITTEST
Immigration Next Season Will he More
Judicious.
An Ottawa despatch says: Lord
Strathconn, who was in Ottawa discus -
Ring immigration matters with Sir \Vil-
frid Laurier and lion. Frank Oliver, has
returned to Montreal, and sails again
for England on Saturday. Speaking nn
the I rn probable bt to h
> n nl l Rl t from Bri-
tain next year, his Lordship obseved
that we are sure to receive n very large
number of the class of Britishers best
suited to become successful Canadian
sellers. So many aro anxious to come
that Canada can well afford to select
only those who are likely to get on well
in a new country, and this, he says, is
the idea which the Canadian immigra-
tion agents in the United Kingdom en-
deavor t0 keep in view.
LOAN OF FIFTY MILLIONS.
French Bankers Have Come to Assist-
ance of Russia.
A Paris despatch says: It Is stated hn
Well-informed quarters, though it has
not yet become officially announced,
that the negotiations between M. Kokos•
lsoff, the former ttussian Minister of
Finance, and the French bankers, have
resulted in the latter agreeing to nil•
vance to the Russian Government $50,-
4)0b,000 at 5% per cent. Interest, plus 2
per cent. commission. The Slate rall•
roads ore offered as a guarantee for
the money advanced, which is to t•eini-

F.ARL GREY. TIIE PREMIER, .4ND MR.
11. L. BORUI:N SPEAK.
The Value of Timber Lands to Keep Up
Wider Supply--e'aluable
fiiuqueslions.
The Canadian Forestry Convention.
called to consider the forests of Canada,
their Importance to the nation, and to
discuss peons by whtcti they may best
be preserved, opened on Wednesday in
the nitrate, Committee of the Parliament
Buildings, Ottawa. SOW three or four
hundred delegates were in attendance
from d fferenl parts Of the
Dominion.11
io►.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier presided, Earl Grey
was on the platfurn.
ADDRESS BY EARL GIIEY.
The convention was opened by his
Excellency the Governor•-(,enerll, Earl
Grey, who spoke on the urgent need of
treasures to prevent the depletion of the
land forests and mentioned the sterility
of once fertile countries, a condition
brought about by seltish destruction c•f
the forests. Ile had been long enough
in Canada to recognize how very desir-
able it was to focus the best brains of
the Dominion on the problem of preserv-
ing the forests Inc the maintenance of
the agriculture on which the prosperity
of Canada depends. Ile had seen in In-
dia, in Asia Minor, in Italy and Greece
extensive tracts, once fruitful, which
had fallen into ruin because their forests
had been devastated by generations ig-
norant of the value of forests, blind to
any but their own selfish interests. They
should guard against a repetition of this
in Canada.
THE PREMIER.
Sir Wilfrid 1.aurier said it was nn
evidence of the recognition of preserving
the forests. Great harm had already
been (lone, and this was the time to
check R. After a reference to the faint
conception pioneers entertained of the
value of forests, and the effects on agri-
culture, he spoke of the necessity of
inainlaining a large forest domain. In
Canada, tvlu're public lands come largely
under the jurisdiction of the provinces,
it was the duty of Provincial Govern-
ments to preserve the forests, and where
they had passed largely to private owner-
shop the province should repurchase
them.
Sir Wilfrid Then referred to rcforestra-
lion methods in other countries, and
urged extra precaution against forest
fires, with severe punishment where due
to negligence. ire thought railways
should have patrols follow their trains
through forest sections.
TREE -PLANTING ON i1OMES.
Finally, Sir Wilfrid said there should
be n policy of tree -planting. it was not
sufficient to preserve a forest but people
shout deb nuioalea Rvidee ofsbeo E
,•
'
should be united to give e snore, attention
to tree -planting upon their homes, and
especially upon their fauns. The ihr.-
mier alluded to the improvement being
wrought In Alberta, where the farms in
the once treeless prairie were being sin' -
rounded by beautiful groves. Winnipeg
was spoken of as a city which had done
marvels In tree -planting. There was a
great deal to be done in the east, and
especially in his own Province of Que-
bec. The French-Canadian had not been
as careful as he should have been. 11e
was a very handy man with the axe.
In fact, there was none better.
Sir Wilfrid closed his address with the
renewed expression of a desire that Cnn-
adian fanners should be impressed with
the necessity of planting trees and cover-
ing every rocky hill and the banks of
every running stream with litnl•er.
LEADER ie' TIIE 0i'I'OSITiON.
Mr. 11. L. Horden promised thus he
and those that sat with hire in Parlia-
ment would assist the Government en
bring in any regulations for the accom-
plishment of the objects mentioned by
the Premier. CT.nnnda was specially
interested because of her great forest
areas, and because of her inland water-
ways, ttie olilciency of which depended
on regulation of the forests. After de-
nouncing the indiscriminate destruction
of tures, Mr. Rieder gavo a European
example of the value of forestry. Sax-
ony hos 420.000 acres of forests in rough.
mountainous country. In 51) years she
has rie•eivcd 8200.000,W)4), and the forests
are totter than they were 50 ycare ago.
Canada has 400.000.000 acres of forest.
\Ir. Borden declared for continuity et
forest operations. State nid could be

IMPROVE THE DAIRY COW
DOING'S AT THE FASTERS DAIRY-
MEN'S CONVI:\!'ION.
What the i)ntry Industry Has Done for
Canada - !'resident Derbyshire's
Annual Iter iew.
That it pays the dairy farmer to keep
only good cows and to study the indi-
vidual cost of his tient, were the Wu
main points brought 6u1 by the speakers
u: the opening of the twenty-ninth an-
nual convention of the Eastern Ontario
Dairymen's Association at Peterborough.
PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS.
President D. Derbyshire, M. P., said
in part with reference to the dairy in-
dustry: "I alight point out that both in
the aggregate production and returns re-
ceived, 1905 has been the hunter year.
ft is certainly very gratifying that we
made about the same quantity of cheese
as formerly, and our butter production
has beaten all previous records.
Cl1EtSE EXPORTS.
"Our cheese exports from Montreal
for the season closed were 2,1e1,101
boxes. 1 estimate the cheese on hand in
Canada at the close of navigation at
450,0.AI boxes, which would slake 2,600,-
000, valued at $222,000,000.
"Our butter exports from Montreal
were 573,449 packages, and the estimat-
ed stock in (tnuda is 125,000 packages,
so we made in the season 700,000 pack-
ages, valued al $9,000,000.
BACON TRADE.
"The bacon trade is closely allied with
the dairy industry, atnounted to ubout
515,000,000.
"In the ahgve estimates no account
has hoen taken of our home mnrket,
and this must be looked Into, eope!cmtlly
for butter, for our Canadian people are
consuming larger quantities of fine
creamery butter each year. Our horse
consumption in 1905 was about 3,500,000
packages.
HUGE INCREASES.
"You will eb grad to know that we re-
ceived about $lu,009,000 more in 1905
than In 1904 for cheese, butter and ba-
con. It will be noticed that our dairy-
men produced (excluding condensed
milk, tnllk for our cities, towns, ere.)
cheese valued at 822,000,000; butter, $8,-
000,000; bncon, $15,000,000, and the hone
consumption was $50,000,010. We are
sending our goods not only to the mo-
ther country, but to the Orient and 1:1 -
par as well, and in increasing quanti-
ties each year.
"Our factories are being improved, and
some really first-class ones are being

better educated. A larger number ef
and better qualified instructors have
been employed, and are doing very sat-
isfactory work. We had twenty-six in-
structors, besides our chief instructor,
and they have (lone good work -visit-
ing, giving instructions and attending
meetings.
THE REFRIGERATOR SERVICE.
"Our goods have been finer and more
uniform that ever before. Our Domin-
ion Department of Agriculture has ten-
dered splendid assistance by giving us
regular refrigerator service, not only on
errs to Montreal, but nn the steamships
from Montreal to the ilrilish mnrket, and
employed inspectors nt Montreal nal
the different English ports to examine
OUP goods. and report weekly to our
Dairy Conintisslnner at Ottawa the lent-
peraturc of our goods on arrival at des-
tination. This has been of greet import-
ance to dairymen, for the goods were
never hrfore delivered to their nlltmate
mnrket in as line condition.
"The watching of our goods arriving
al Montreal, ns well its the different
ports on the other side, is working well.
for they (lo not now lay around the
docks, but are quickly token care of."
IMPROVE THE FACTORIES.
Having referred to the Improved ac-
commodntion for the reception of goods
in the old contry, and having predict-
ed even better prospects for 1906, the
President urged all makers to attend
the dairy school tit i<ingston.
"I would like," he proceeded, "to urge
all fnctn•ies to join our syndicate sys-
tem and assist us to make a uniform
high quality of goods everywhere in
Eastern Ontario. While n large num-
