French Club Organized to Encourage Private Individuals in Protective Work—German Dogs Take the Prizes Offered. naris, Jan, 13. --On the Vinoennes race ieaek to -day M. Celine, the Prefect of 'the Paris Police, and a big crowd of spec - 40014 watched with the greatest inter - the trials of the police and protection ,'dogs organized by the Club Francais du JObien do Defence et do Garde. The ob- ject of the club is to encourage private individuals to undertake training dogs for defensive purposes, as helpers of the }toloe, gailiekeepers, coast guards and others exercising lonely and dangerous fuootiorts, t,lIro French Club is in its infamy and in making the competition international the idea of the olub was to attract com- petitors from abroad, from countries where police doge' services already exist. Oompetitors came from Germany, 13e1- gium, and Ifolland and, with the French animals, a marvellous exhibition of can- ine sagacity was given. The breeds chief• ly represented were the German cheep dog, the Belgian sheep dog, the Airedale terrier and also sheep doge particular to to Frenoh provinces of Bernice and Pi - (lardy. The pains of the day were taken by the German dogs Pandortmund, be. longing to Herr Osthaus, and pblette, owner Herr Simeon. The teats included defending a master against an Apache, the latter being a man booted and pro- teoteel in een extraordinary fashion with a strong mask, A Belgian dog tried to get at his throat and hung on to the padding like grim death, and when of• fered a tempting piece of meat by a stranger turned disdainfully away. A beast which moat of the other com• petitors yielded to, notwithstanding a most ferocious display, took a patting and fondling, nom women spectators, like a regular hero, when the business was ;over. Ilia owner laughingly declared the dog would mind a baby and that an infant could play with him. The trials will be continued to -morrow when the prizes will be awarded, A G. T. R. CLERK.

A Yarmouth, England, cable: The news of the suicide of H. Grey Duberly, who was found dead in bed yesterday in New York, evidently from flu effects of a narcotic poison, was fink communi- cated to his father, Captain J. Grey Duberly, a retired naval officer, through an Associated Press despatch. When seen at his home to -day Captain Doherty Employees of the Royal Bank are to receive a 10 per cent, salary bonus. said he had no reason to doubt that the suicide was his son, although lie was quite unable to account for his presence in New York. He said that Harry was his eldest boy tied was 24 years of age. He had sent him to Canada three years ago to remove him from evil influences. Harry had obtained employment with the Grand Trunk Railway, holding a position at Niagara Falls. When he wrote home last August his father un- derstood that he was doing well, but since then the only communication se. ceived had been a card to hie sister on the latter's birthday, Duberly was a distant relative of Earl Grey, Governor. General of Canada. His grandmother was a niece of the first earl. He was also related to Lord Mostyn. MUST COME DIRECT. NEW REGULATION PROPOSED RE- GARDING IMMIGRATION. Would Prevent Japanese From Hono- lulu Entering Canada—Japan Shows Willingness to Adjust Matters, Ottawa, Jan. 13,—Tho Department of the Interior has under consideration a new departure in regard to immigration. The intention is to amend the regula- tions so that in future all immigrants must come direct to Canada from their place of birth or the country of citizen - slip. This regulation will apply to the Atlantic as well as the Pacific. While it is not framed against any particular class of immigrants, and will be general in its character, it will have the effect of shutting out. Japanese coming from Honolulu to British Columbla. It is understood that the Japanese authorities have intimated to Mr. Le- mieux that there will be no objection from them to any regulations that will exclude Japanese from Canada, if not emigrating direct from Japan to Can- ada. In regard to direct uomigrante they have given assurances to reduce this to the requested minimum, but they are desiroue of doing it in their own way, without making any formal com- pact. If that is done the present diffi- culty over Japanese immigration will be solved, but if not, then the treaty will be abrogated. That appears to be the general view in Ministerial circles here. The proposed new regulation providing for immigrants coming direct would also mean that Eu- ropean emigrants would not be permit- ted to come by way of United States ports, thereby insuring a more efficient medical inspection .and stricter control over the character of immigrants land- ing in Canada. However, it is probable that nothing definite will be done in re. spect to changing the present retaliations until after Hon. Mr. Lemieux has return- ed to the capital and made his report to the Government. MAY CHANGE PLACES, Messrs. J. Bruce Walker and J. Obed Smith May Be Transferred. Ottawa despatch: It is probable that an arrangement will shortly be ef- fected, transferring Mr. J. Bruce Walker, now Canadian immigration commissioner at London, to Winni peg, where he will replace Mr. J. Obed Smith, immigration commissioner at Winnipeg, the latter going to London to take Mr. Walker's place. Mr. Walk. or has applied for the transfer, in view of the fact that his wife's health is suffering from the effects of the English climate. In point of importance and of sal- ary the positions held by Mr. Walk- er and by Mr. Smith are practically on a par, and provided no serious objection is made to the change by Mr Smith, the transfer will be made by the Minister of the Interior..

Will Stick to Derision—Until Con- sumers Pay More or Wholesalers Reduce Prices, No Meat. Termite report: Because several ab - attains have raised the prioo of beef from 6 to 7 and 71-2 cants a pound to Jewish butchers, and the Jews who purchase meat and pay for it refuse to pay more than tan cents n pound for their food, all the Jewish butcher shops in the city have due - posed of their stocks end sold out, and will sell no niorc meat until the wholesale price is reduced, or the consumers agree to pay more for their food. • A. meeting of Jewish butehena was held at the butcher shop of D. Cap- lin & Son, 99 Agnes street, laat evening, when they all decided to stand by the agreement they had made, and keep their stores closed until some settlement is made with regard to the price of beef. They state that in addition to losing money on the meat they sell, they, have cus- tomers who seldom, if ever, pay for the meat they got, and the butchers have accounts on their hooka rang- ing from $1,800 to 14,000, which they never export to see paid. Jews cast eat only the front quar- ters of beef, and all bones have to be cut from the meat before it is sold. The butchers buy the meat from the abattoirs and wore paying 5120 emits a pound. They then and to pay a dol- lar to a rabbi for each animal kill- ed, which increased the cost about half a cont a pound; thea they have to out all bones from the meat and lose about 30 in every 100 pounds of meat sold. The cost of the meat wee therefore about eleven and a half Dents n pound, and when they sold it for ten they were, losing money' con- tinuously. They also have to pay rent, gas, help, keep a honer; eta, and in addition have to be at work at two o'clock every morning, for all meat moat be prepared for male before day- light each day or it cannot be eaten. The butchers, therefore, decided to close up their shops, and 12,000 Jerre who eau meat will have to go without any until a settlement is reached. Rabbi Jacobs was seen laat even- ing with regard to the -natter, and stated that 'he . believed the -Jewish butchers were paying a very fair pace for their beef. The butchers bad decided not to sell any more, and the wholesalers had assured hint that it was impossible for then to sell meat `at the present rate, as it wile ruinous. No one would be affected so much as the poorer ulnas of Jews, said the rabbi, for the better class could oat poultry. He did not think anything serious would follow the ac- tion of the butabere, and that the dispute would be settled. He had of- fered his een-ices and would do all he could to bring about a settlement, The poorer ()lames -of Jews, continued the rabbi, were very fond of moat, and the deprivation of beef would not enable them to use any other kind of meat, for they could not nae any other meat unless it was killed by the rabbis and properly inspected, The butchers stated last everting that if the public would pay butter prloea, or the wholesalers drop the prices to the old charges and give a goall quality of meat, properly inspected, they would again open their shops, but not before that time. A'9 T00 MANY FIRES. A Montrealer Arrested on a Charge of Arson. Montreal, Jan, 13.—After reporting that his house had been set on fire by revengeful incendaries several times in the same day, a French-Can- adian here,, named Ovila Labreche, was arreetod this afternoon charged with arson, Several times Labreche had com- pilnlned to the police that efforts had Preen made by enemies to burn his house, and when they examined the niece they found evidences of at- tempte to set fire to the tenement Labreche said they had been matte by men who had been sent down for •.bbl . ins in his store, but the cir- cumstances were somewhat suspicious, the more so thnt he boasted that even it his place were burned it was well insured, The fires at Labrecbe's place, how- ever, became too numerous when they happened almost daily, and this re- sulted in the present charge against him. e.O WHY TIMES WAS SOLD. War With London Publishers Said to be Real Reason. London, Jan. 13.—In the absence of Arthur Fraser . Walter, principal owner of The Times, who is at kis country home, his brother, Godfrey Walter, also part proprietor: and long connected with the management of the journal, accord- ed an interview to -day, in which he branded many statements made with re- ference to ;the future of The Times under its now management as false and misleading. "While it is premature to say ex;netly what oevelopmetits w1,1 fol- low the advent of new blood into the management of the paper, it isabeurd to say that Mr. Pearsou will make haste to destroy the traditional character, po- litieal and otherwise, of The Times," he said. "I don't Dante there is any more Kroner' for saying that the paper will uether the tariff reformers' propaganda and lower the price to one penny than there is to say that almost everybody heretofore' connected with the paper will retire. The fact ie nobody knows' yet who, will retire, and no more is actually known now than the statement publish- ed this morning, Many of the propriet tors of the paper vvho must be consulted reside far away, and the courts will have the final say " The following interesting statement from a well-informed source may ex- plain the breaking of A. F. 1Vniter's oft•repeated resolution never to allow the destinies of The Times to pass into Rands other than those of the Walter family, but I am unable to vouch for its veracity, and give it for what it is worth: "The beginning of the end of the Walder dynasty, of The Times," said my informant, "was really the die- redrew ie- n treue ooneequences of The Times' re- cent fight against the publishers, as a result of which the latter banded to - spider and withdaww ail their advertis- ing, depleting the newspaper's revenue to an extent little imagined by the general public. This suicidal policy of alienating the patronage of the pub - Bribers was soon brought home to the Wnite'e, who were not personally re. eponeiblo for the affair, with the result- ing decision to allow the management of the paper to pass outside their hands," ENEMY OF WHITES. INTRIGUES OF DINIZUT.0 EXPOSED IN COURT. Bambata'a Thirteen -Year -Old Son Tells That Zulu Ring Gave His Father a Mauler Rifle and Ordered liim to Fight the White People. Pietermaritzburg, Jan. 13.—At the pre- liminary examination of Dinizulu, the Zulu King, in the Central jail here, the first witness was the thirteen -year-old sea of Chief Bambata. The boy related how after the outbreak of the native disturbances last year he went on a visit to the Ceuta kraal—the residence of Dinizulu—with Bambata and others. Dinizulu summoned Bambata and eaid to him: "You are a coward; You waited until the white men came, and you look- ed at them, but you did not fight. You came here with words, seeking shelter. I will give you a gun and ammunition. Return and fight the white people. I will help you to that extent," The witness eaid he had the gun, which was a Mauser, in his hands. He added that Dinlzulu sent Cakigana to assist Bambata ,to manage his impl, Bambata being inexperienced. After the fighting Cakigana and Batubste, went back to the Usutu kraal, Bambata sub- sequently returning to tine bush. After the final scattering of the impi many rebels came to Usutu, where Dinizulu employed then in general work, There were about thirty guns at Usutu. While at Usutu, the witness added, he noticed that guards were stationed at night whenever there was any suspicion that a European force wore in the neigh- borhood, SOLDIERS FROM ENGLAND. It 1s Said a British Regiment Again Will Garrison Halifax. Halifax, N. 9., Jan. 13.—The troops at this garrison aro to be replaced by a regiment from England in April. That this is a fact is generally ac- cepted In military circles in Halifax. The Canadian Government will pay ail the expenses, as at present, but the men will come from the British Isles, the War Department sending out a complete corps. Canada finds it too difficult to en- list the men, and they cost more than thr troops from England. Last week the headquarters staff in Halifax re- ceived orders that all enlietments for th„ various coupe must cease, and that no more recruits will be accepted for .the Halifax garrison. The mili- tary contractors have been notified that contracts for supplying the troops will bo entered into for three months, carrying them on to the end of March. Another fact which lends color to the report that England will resume the garrisoning of the basis in the east and west is that soldiers wish. ing to take their discharge before the terms of their enlistments expire will be allowed to do this without buying themselves out as formerly, thus showing a disposition to cut down the force now here• e et RUSSIAN CHRISTMAS, The Day Simply Celebrated by the Im- perial Family, St. Petersburg, Jan. 13,—The Rua. elan Christmas, which comes thirteen days later than the day set for the observation of the feast by the Gre- gorian Calendar, was celebrated to- day by the members of the Imperial family in a very simple way, A Christmas tree, with presents for Alexis, the little Crown Prince, and his - sisters, was net up in the apart- ments of the Empress, Only members of the immediate royal entourage were present. This afternoon Emperor Nicholas was present at two Christmas trees in Tsarkso Seloe, one - of the guards and another for the Cossacks. The Emperor made short speeches, in which he thanked the soldiers for their valiant services, and bestowed a number of pre- sents. The Empresa has made considerable improvement in the last few days.

The sen- tence did not appear in the official report of the meeting, and some persona alleged that it had been suppressed.
