having proved equally, as. emcient as
the men had been.
One of the meet peculiar customs
seen here is the evening promenade in
the plaza or park, which, is attended
by young ladies and young nien and
quite email boys and, girls. They do
not mix, but keep• quite separate paths.
Yet even the little girls at seven or
eight years are finished coquettes.
Their eyes languidly observe every
man and boy in the plaza, and they
take care that each shall receive a due
Share of their smiles.
Another curious custom which pre-
vails in Santiago and which Is joined
by those fortunate enough to have
fine horses and carriages is the prom-
enade at the Parque Causino, a beau-
tiful park near the center of the city,
A company of mounted police stands
to single file in the center of the drive,
and the carriages, with uniformed
coachmen and footmen and beautiful-
ly gowned women and fashionably
dressed men occupying the carriages,
ride around and around these mounted
polies
Sometimes there are two or as many
as six rows of carriages, some going
in the opposite direction and alternat-
ing, the ladles smiling and the gentle-
men tipping their hats in a polite man-
ner. This promenading lasts from 5
o'clock in the afternoon until 8 o'clock

SIR JAMES 13 SHARP
Handles Mr, Rowell's Mettler;
Criticisms Without Gioyes,
New Leader
e of the Ontario Opposition
Finds Fault With the Speech From.
the Throne hro a Because 1t Did Not Say
Enough, But Premier Proves With
Some Heat That 1t Said All That
Required Saying.
Toronto, Feb. 9. -Never perhaps was
the •handicap of inexperience in.- a
political debate better exemplified
than yesterday afternoon in the local
Legislature when N. W, Rowell, I.C.,
the new leader of the Liberal Opposi-
tion, encountered Sir James Whitney
in the debate on the speech from the
throne.
Carefully worded and in true legal
style Mr. Rowell depicted the sins and
shortcomings of the present Govern-
ment. 'From the standpoint of an
idealist with good principles in view,
but totally indiffernt to the burdens
and responsibilities of office, Mr, Row-
ell made an excellent address.
Mr. Rowell got a good reception on
rising. "However much we may differ
in policy," said he, "we all 'agree that
Canada must work out her destiny as
an inseparable part of the British Em.
pire. The ties that bind Canada to the
Motherland are growing stronger every
year." -
Mr. Rowell' directed his sharpest cri-
ticism of the Government on the pro-
posal to switch the Hydro -electric out
of the control of the commission and
give it over to the charge of a Cabinet
Minister.
Mr. Rowell maintained that this pro-
posed Hydro -electric policy of Sir
James Whitney's had been a gigantic
blunder.
"It has been a characteristic," said
he, "of the present Government, under
the present leader, when they do
jump, to jump too far for the public
interest."
Mr. Rowell then turned to the bilin-
gual school question, and after re-
marking that Sir James Whitney had
said in his campaign speeches that
there were no bilingual schools, quot-
ed from a newspaper report which he
held in his hand, a statement on bi-
lingualism
ilingualism attributed to the Attorney -
General.
"Perhaps never in the history of
the Government has there been such
an instance of division of the Cabinet
as this," he continued, "with three
members of the Government express.
ing different views on an important
matter."
"This speech from the throne is re-
markable for what it did not say:
Isn't it strange that no mention was
made of tax reform? Many of the
Conservative members are in favor of
it, and even a number of the Conserva-
tive newspapers advocate it. Why
isn't this reform granted? Because
Sir James Whitney has made up his
mind that he doesn't want it."
Mr. Rowell then criticized the im-
migration policy of the Government,
and .intimated that Sir James Whit-
ney regarded settlers to new Ontario
as liabilities to the province, while
he (Mr. Rowell) and the Liberal party
looked on the settlers as provincial
assets.
Woman suffrage, social and moral
reform, and the liquor traffic, were
also commented on as being import-
ant matters neglected by the present
Government.
Sir . James:. eWhitney was ,,•relceivern
with tumultuous applause on rising:
to reply to Mr. Rowell. After paying
his respects to the new leader and
the ex -leader, Hon. A: G. MacKay,
Sir James jumped right into the dis-
cussion. -
"My hon. friend opposite," said Sir
James, "has been talking during the
past five minutes on the liquor ques-
tion and yet he has declared that he
cannot find a remedy for all the ills
of the liquor traffic, for four years
anyway."'
"The hon. gentleman also talks
about bilingual schools, and how I
tried to evade this question during
my campaign.
"In five minutes, said Sir James,
"I have made more definite statements
about bilingual schools than the hon.
gentleman opposite has done in. his
hole lif
"In all his political campaign he
kept repeating that English should •
be the state language, but that the'
French pupils should not forget that
mother tongue. • ' I
"That's as far as he dared •to go,':
declared Sir James, "and I challengel
him to say otherwise,"
"Get up! Get up 1" shouted a memo
ber to Mr, Rowell, but the Liberal
leader kept his seat.
"Dr. Merchant is investigating tai
determine whether any discrepancies'
have crept into the teaching system
of the province.
"If he reports that such have oo+;
Burred, they will be dealt with.
"Tax reform! Why should anything
he mentioned about that matter if
it wasn't a part of our platform?"
But Sir James assured the Rouse,

•
Belfast, Feb. 9. Winetozi Chureh-
ili's incursion into Ulster, which
threatened at one time to cause Sart-
guinery rioting and serious loss of
life, has ended without even a broken.
head. The First Lord of the Admiral-
ty and John S. Redmond, leader of
the Irish Nationalists, spoke from the.
sante platform on the home rule bill.
Mr. Churchill outlined the intentions
of the Government with. respect to.
self-government for Ireland,, and de-
clared £hat no greater boon could come
to the.Empire than the settlement of
the long and bitter quarrel between
the British Government and the Irish
people.
Mr. Redmond appealed to Ulster
"in the name of Ireland and the Brit-
ish Empire, justice and good -will,"
to lend its aid in settling the Irish
question wisely, well and forever.
The presence in Belfast of the larg-
est military force ever gathered to
preserve the peace among Irish fac-
tions, combined with a drenching rain
to check thebellicose b Ili e ar dor of the
anti -home rulers, whose hostility was
mainly vented by booing and hooting.
But what ugly temper was aroused
and the civic authorities were alarm-
ed by possible consequences is shown
by the fact that on their advice Mr.
Churchill left the oity by a special
train two hours before the announced
time of his departure, thus disap-
pointing a huge crowd. which assem-
bled later to give him a mixed send-
off.
Mr. Churchill's speech was deliver-
ed before an audience from which
every effort had been made to bar all
hostile elements. It aroused tremen-
dous enthusiasm, 'but at one point a
group of suffragettes attempted to cre-
ate a disturbance and several of them
were ejected.
The essential features of the Liberal
Government's home rule bill to be in-
troduced into the British Parliament
were set forth for the first time yes-
terday in *he course of Mr. Churchill's
speech.
The bill is to contain provisions for
a fair representation in the two
Houses of the Irish Parliament of all
classes of the Irish people, and re-
strictions will be placed on the pass-
ing of laws or the imposition of taxes
which might be unjust to any party,.
while religious freedom is to be secur-
ed. The armed forces in Ireland are
to be controlled by the Imperial Gov-
ernment, but Ireland is to control its
own finances, while the Imperial Gov-
ernment will continue its land pur-
chase and pension schemes.
The young Cabinet Minister was
greeted with a rousing reception from
the 6,4900 people gathered within the
tent, whose enthusiasm not even the
depressing surroundings were able en-
tirely to quench. A steady shower
bath poured through the canvas roof
making the floor an incipient marsh.
A band played popular airs inter-
mingled with the Irish melodies "The
Wearing of the Green" and "The Boys
of Wexford."
Mr. Churchill immediately got on
-ggod- terms :with his audience, : promis-.
ing them that the Government ins`
tended to pass a home rule bill which
would be harmonious with Imperial
interests, smooth the path of the Brit-
ish Empire, liberate new forces for
its service and forever do away with
the accursed machinery by which hat-
red had been manufactured in the
past.
The Government's home rule bill,
continued Mr. Churchill, would fit
into a general scheme of Parliamen-
tary devolution leading ultimately to
the federation of the Empire. That
was the only way to free the House
of Commons from its present conges-
tion.
"Look at our great rivals the Unit-
ed States of America and Germany.
Both of those powers conduct their
business through separate Parlia-
ments."
On arriving in the morning with his
wife at the Central Station, Mr.
Churchill was given a mixed recep-
tion.
A number of Orangemen greeted
him with groans and boos, but these
were drowned in the hearty cheers
of the large crowd of Liberals and
Nationalists. There was no disturb-
ance,
There was no marked excitement
among the workers of the city yes-
terday. The tens of thousands of men
and women engaged in the shipyards
and the linen factories proceeded to
work as though the question of home
rule had not been mooted.
Matters looked ugly for a moment
when Mr. and Mrs. Churchill started
for the place where the meeting was
to be held. A great crowd which had
gathered outside the hotel, appeared
inclined to rush the First Lord's mo-
tor car and tried to block its passage,
but a flotilla of escorting motor cars
packed with detectives succeeded in
worming a way through the groaning
+hrnng, and got the First Lord safely
away.

"Population failed to increase i

conjunction with the fair would arouse
interest among the people along thi8
neglected line. Some forty mothers
entered with their offspring and the
rivalry for the prizes was keen. IiI
also boomed the attendance at the
fair, for where you have the babied

Bargain Bad For France.
Paris, Feb. 9.—M. Pichon, ex -Minis-
ter of Foreign Affairs, during the
course of a discussion of the Franco-
German agreement in the Senate yes:
•terday, delivered a trenchant criticisnn
of the treaty, the ratification of which
he declared he would not vote for. He
described it as a bad bargain for
France, which, in exchange for the
gravest sacrifices, had got Morocco;
but so heavily mortgaged as to be of
little use. He took the gloomiest view
of the future, and feared that the
protectorate in Morocco would prove
much more costly in men and money,
than calculated upon at present.
