near the bridge, had failed to explotle.
The incidents in Peoria coincided so
closely with the 'evidence following the

Negotiations have been on for some time
past, anti while all the details are not

The factories will continue to manu-

by the merger from a central point, a
certain number of the factories will exe-
cute the finer and more expensive work,
certain others the medium and ehenper
grades and others the rough and cont -

and jobbing out work will be abolished,
It is said, and a system of weekly wages
will be paid. The manufacturers eoneld-

the labor unions, which, they claim, have
been running matters with a high hand.
The es.pital of the merger is placed at

SCOUTMASTERS
Scout Training Not Cosigned For
Future Military Use:
Organization is For Purpose of De,
veloping Good Citizenship,
Administering Oath to Aliens Proves
a Perplexing Problem.
Toronto April 23.—The question of
militarism as a phase of scouting was
the subject of several hours' discussion
at the first eonfermee of the Ontario
Scoutmaster& Association, held in the
City Ball on Saturday. Scoutmasters
representing branches in all parts of the
Province were in attendance, and the
general feeling among the members was
that it would be in direct contradiction
to the aims and purposes of the organ,
ization to aseoeinte a military career
with the objectives of scout training.
The dieussion followed the reading of
a paper, "Seeding and " by
Principal: A, E. Coombs, of th,o St. bath-
arines High SehOol, who is vice-preeldent
of the association. In it Mr. Coombs ex-
plained that scouting embodied the best
features of militarism. It ineuleated
habits of diseipline, but did not create
a desire for war. War was not so popu-
lar as in olden times, altbough it did
not hove As many objectionable features
-aa formerly. It was impossible, how-
ever, to raise ever from the leverof the
realm presided over by his satanic ma-
jesty,'
The Boy Scout, Mr, Coombs said, could
well itnitate the soldier in habit' of
discipline,neatness and soldierly bearing.
He could eopy from tbe soldier in regard
to obeying orders without question, but
could not do this; without implicit con:
fidenee in his Scoutmaster. To put it
briefly, the Boy Scout movement toned
to teeth the youth bow to live for Ms
own country, while militarism taught
hiln how to die forit.
There were. features about military
training which Boy Scouts should try
to avoid. One of these was the carry-
ing of firearms tilien practising scout-
ing.
"Great care shoula be taken to im-
preee upon the scout that rifles and
other firearm* are not a part of his
equipment," said the speaker. -"Some
boys are apt to.get a little wild, west
fever when they don the soot. som-
brero. This tendency must be represe-
ed. .& scout is a. gentleman and not a

A FEEDER FOR THE MILITIA.
Mr. Fred. Todd, who bas cbargo, of To-
ronto's second troop, favored the asso-
ciation of militarism with scout train -
Mg. He saw in it a. possible wey
to-
evado conscription, which might come
some day, by training the boys with a
view to having them join the militia
when they had graduated from the ranks
of the scoute. This, he contended, would
result in raising the standard of the
militia.
. GALT MAN ALSO OPPOSED.
Mr. W. Clare Marriott, of Celt, was
decidedly opposed to making the Scouts a
feeder for the militia. He declared that
what they thould first eeek to do was
to develop citizens and opbuild men.

value to the Empire in having the youth

This would be of greater value in a

discussed were: 'The Large City Troop,"

During a .rotuid-table talk at the
afternoon sessiou the wetter of admit-
ting aliens to the hanks proved a knotty
question, and the association decided to
tnke no action until another confernme.
One member told of the difficulties he
had encountered in ,making American
boys and those of other nationalities

GUELPH JUNCTION.
C. P. R. Must Make Some Changes
in Route.
Torouto, April 24.—There was a long
argument this morning before the
Railway Commission over the applica-
tion of the C. P. R. for approval of the
location from a point in lot six, conces-
sion two, township Nassagewawa near
Guelph Junction, southerly 18 miles to
to connect with the T., II. & 13. in lot
20, township 0, West Flamboro, near
Hamilton, and to expropriate certain
lands of the G. T, R. This plan runs
through an old cemetery and this the
chairman of the Commission would not
allow so the C. P. R. will prepare new
plans to ovoid this. The reeve of Ifiam-
bore rase strenuously objected. The
granting of the application as touohing
the lands of the Grand Trunk is condi-
tional upon the road being so c,onstruct-
ed that thirty-five feet dear space will
be left between the present nearest rail
of the G. T. R. and the boundary fence
of the applicants.

him to its pulpit.
"The free etturettes of England are sot -
idly united in prayerful toning, that the

English-epeakirat peoples may receive a
epeetly consummation," he said, "but in-
deed tbe unity is much wides and more
important than this. All the ebereltes
of Britain, Catholic end Protestant, ire
reepective of deep 'and vital differences
of creed and policy, stand together in
support of these reasonable and preg-
nant proposals. With all my heart,
theerfore, in the first days of my min-

aom of God, I ornomend them to the ac-
ceptance of your judgment, to the influ-
ence of your steadfast hopes and to the

Death of John Passmore Edwards
Known as the Carnegie'of Britain.
London, April 23.—John Prteemore
Edwards,•the well-known publicist; phil-
anthropist and advocate of international
peace, died yesterday. He was born at
Cornwall, March 24, 1823.
John Paesmore Edwards, .whose phil-
anthropies had won him the title of
"The Carnegie of England," was the son
of a Cornish carpenter, and the family
was so poor that tho only literature it
could afford was the Penny Magazine,
from which tbe lad received racist of his
early education. When twenty-three
years old the future publicist arrived in
London with the proverbial shilling in
bis pocket and a good stock of self-con-
fidenee and grit. He entered on the
mazy path of journalism, and after a
time saved sufficient to start The Pub-
lic Good, whieh prospered. Young Ed-
wards then branehed out, founded three
other papers and failed, paying only five
shillings in the pound.
A smeller m,an would have gone under,
but Edwards, so far from being daunted
by this • crushing reverse, started The
English Meelainie and Building News,
wiped out all his old debts and amassed
a fortune, He- purchased The &Ito in
18713 and haa never sines looked behind.
Mindful of his own early disadvantages,
he founded in bia time twenty-five li-
braries, and subscribed over eighty thou -
amid volumes to various institutions. He
was a strenuous advoeate of interna-
tional peace. Twice he declined the hon-
or of knighthood.

Berlin, April 24.—Germany will
have under arms in connection with
the field manoeuvres this summer,
practically one million men. In ad-
dition to the regular army stxength
of 622,000 men, over 855,000 resesrvlste
