• Operatives.
A London despatch says :—The in-
dustrial situation is the gravest yet

compromise in the engineering strike.
Meantime the trouble in the cotton
trade has reached a decisive point, and
this week may see the beginning of an-
other great war, involving 200,000 op-
eratives, which will paralyze the great-
est trade of the Empire. The spinners

The leaders of the operatives'
unions are using their influence to se-
cure a negative decision, coupled with
an offer to curtail production. It is
extremely doubtful if the manufac-
tuners will accept the alternative,
which, they protest, is altogether in-
adequate. They affirm, on the contrary,
that a reduction of 10 per cent,. in
wages is necessary in order to make
production yield any profit. In the

A cotton operatives' strike on top
of the engineers' strike would un-
doubtedly weaken the chances of the
success of the operatives of both
trades. Public opinion, at the outset,
will probably sympathize with the
cotton operatives, who will resist a re-
duction in wages. This sympathy will
be short lived as soon as the facts re-
garding the cotton manufacturers' di-
lemma are fully understood.
The engineers' battle is as good as
lost, and, despite, the uncompromising
attitude of both sides, the men are
seeking any honourable retreat from
their demands, which it is now clear
would destroy the engineering trade of
Great Britain. Even the most pre-
judiced of the strikers are beginning
to realize that the foreign contribu-
tions, which at first encouraged them,
were really designed to kill employ-
ment in their trade by taking ad-
vantage of the opportunity to seize
the foreign market.
The same situation, though in a
less marked degree, is the secret of the
trouble in the cotton trade. The opera-
tives do not yet appreciate the facts,
however, and a repetition of the ter-
rible experiences of four years ago
may be necessary before the lesson is
learned. The employers federation .is
stronger to -day, and the struggle, if
begun, will be the bitterest of all in-
dustrial wars. The immediate collapse
of the engineering strike would do
much to ward off a cotton trade strug-
gle. but the engineers' society is the
strongest trades union in the world,
and will not surrender for a while
yet.

A despatch from Rochester, N.Y„
says:—Justice Warner has rendered a
decision for the plaintiff in the case
of Susie M. Vanderventer, of Wood-
stock, Ont., against Stephen W. and
Albert Vanderventer, both of 'Penn
Yan. The action was brought to en-
force an alleged ante -nuptial contract
made in 1892, in which Stephen Vander -
venter
anderventer agreed to grant a certain par-
cel of land, and also $20,000 to Susie M.
Vane, now Susie M. Vanderventer,
providing she marry him within one
year after the death of her mother.
The plaintiff was married to the de-
fendant in July, 1895, in fulfilment of
her part of the contract, and soon after
demanded of the defendant that be ful-
fil his part of the contract. Instead it
is alleged, the defendant transferred
all such property to his son, Albert
R. Vanliierventer.
On the trial the defendant de.lied
that he ever executed the contract,
and testified that on tbe date it is
alleged to have been executed in Wood-
stock, Canada, he was in Penn Van.
The decision rendered by Justice Wer-
ner gives the plaintiff $20,009 with in-
terest from the time the money was
demanded and the property. It also
zestrains the defendant from disposing
of any of the property.

REPUBLIC IN DANGER.
The rosafblatty of a Change of Cover cut
in Mennen.
The Paris correspondent of the Lon-
don Daily News indulges, apparently
with alt gravity. in a surprising specu-
laticn that the overthrow of the Re.+
Public is within: the limits of possibl-
ity as a result of the coming election:
for members of the Chamber • of De-
puties. The News presents the stlate-
ment without comment. The oorres-
pondent says:—"On all sides I hear
thatthe next elections aro likely to
give us, if not, a Parliament of Rallies,
one in which they will be uppermost.
Should this happen. they might think
it well to withdraw their allegiance
from the Republic. The Pope would
not abject. Tie is in favor of the prat-
ticable oaurse, whatever it may be.
Thera would be really very little diffi-
culty to tura this Republic into aking-
dom or empire. If there were a Con-
servative majority an empire would I
of easier achievement.
"A King or Emperor would not have
to face the odium of making Dracon-
ian law- to defend his power. He
would find them ready to hand. They
are the legacy of the Carnet and C: avi-
min Perier Presiden:'ies. and Vere
gages of strong government given to
Russia. All the power of the Govern-
ment will he emulaved, to keep out Su-
. Cislists ani Radicals.
"In view of future events, the 'Mon-
archists have net rallied, and the Bon-
apartistshave fused. Were Prin e t*i tor to step aside and Prince Louis Nee-
, poison to be placed at the head of this
i amalgamated 1: arty, there might be
striking results. The latter Prince has
1 been seeing the King of Italy at Mon-
za. He is now in Switzerland and is
expected at Mon.tralieri. where his mo-
ther Iives, before returning to Paris

The Australian Fruit growers Will Send
Their Products to the British Markets.
The fruit -growers in Australia are
making a practical move toward the
establishment of connections with the
British market. The Ministers of Ag-
riculture of the colonies of Victoria,
South Australia, Tasmania, and New
Zealand, have held a conference and
have resolved to make an experimental
shipment of 10,000 oases of fruit under
improved conditions, which include a
oemplete system of ventilation for ev-
ery part of the chamber in which the
fruit is oonveyed. The Australasian
colonies have adopted a standard case,
which is their recognized fruit bushel,
and contains, 2,438 cubic inches. This
cae measures on the oyrside 10 by 15
case measures on the outside 10 by 15
by 20 inches, and its use will facilitate
packing for shipment, as well as the
supervision of experimental ventures
by the Governments. It has been found
by experiments that for the safe trans-
portation of apples a steady tempera-
ture of from 40 to 4.5 degrees and good
ventilation are necessary. With re-
gard to other lines of fruit, there is
much to be learned as to the requi-
sites
equisaes of the sea voyage. It was re-
solved to institute a series of experi-
ments in transportation, during the
coming season. As the Australian fruit
season alternates with her own, the
Canadian fruit -growers will have an
opportunity of watching an interesting
series of experiments during the coming
winter. The shipments from the Aus-
tralasian colonies will tie under Gov-
ernmental regulation, and every case
will bear an official brand. The propos-
ed experiment will necessitate arrange-
ments with steamship owners regard-
ing the special fitting ii
and furnishingishing
of vessels for the trade.
At a gen-
eral conference of fruit -growers rep-
resenting
ep-
reen n
t' several colonies it was resolv-
ed.
i
g
ed. that the fruit trade could be better
stimulated by a federation of the col-
onies. With the alternating seasons of
the north and south Canada and the
Australias should soon be delivering a,
continuous supply of fruit to thi Bri-
tish market.
A UNITEDEMPIRE.
Chmuberinicc's lnstaitation spree", a

A despatch from Glasgow, says :—Mr.
Joseph Chamberlain, the Secretary of
State for the Colonies, was installed on
Glas-
gow
Wednesday as Lord dR
o actor of the Ui.as-
gow University. There was an im-
mense crowd of people present, and Mr,
Chamberlain met with an enthusiastic
reception. In the course of his speech
Mr. Chamberlain predicted that the re-,
lations between Great Britain and
South Africa had greatly improved of
late, adding:—"There are signs that
the colonies demand a closer union, and
that the prospect of a really united
Empire Is becoming a 'question . of
practical politics."
All that we can do as regards other
worlds, and the most we eau do in this
is to discover what is.
BOILER EXPLOSION,
One Workman Itee.etred Fatal Wart es —
Two Others Badly Burt.
A despatch from Vancouver, 13. C„
says: Just :Coat 12.45 o'clock onWed-
nesday the people in the centre of the
city were startled by a loud report as
of the firing o% cannon, and; then those
in the neighborhood. of the Royal City
mills saw a mass of bricks, timber,
and ironwork hurled into the air with
terrific force. It was at once seen that
one of the big boilers at the mills had
exploded, and the fire brigade, assisted
by a band of volunteers, were soon
on the spot searahired amongst the de-
bris for the killed and wounded. The
first found was George Solley, whose
leg was terribly hurt, while, his head
was seriously cwt and scalded. LI, lad
named Forbes was next taken out from
beneath a pile of bricks in an uncon-
scious condition, Charles Phillips was
the third taken out; he was badly
scalded, but not fatally. The search
was continued for some time, and the
roll call of the employes revealed the
fact that all the men were accountsd
for.
The Royal City mills is a branch of
the British Columbia Mills, Timber
and Trading Company, the Iargest lum-
ber concern in Britisa Columbia, and
this braneh alone employs more than
one hundred and fifty men. The
accident fortunately happened at
ti'e dinner hour, or more would
undoubtedly have been injured. As
it was there were numerous narrow
escapes.

Whichever way you please, madam.
The stuff is perfectly harmless.
