Government Leader in Senate Replies to the Criticisms of the Newly-Chosen Chief of the Opposition,
AID TO AGRICULTURAL GRANTS MAY BE LARGER

OTTAWA. -Nov. at.—In the fienftt* today the debate on Uieaddrefla waf
resumed by Senator Lotigheed,_t|l^,. srovernnicnt leader, who said that CSwif^ ada was on the eve of an era of pros- perity which, he believed, Canadians g-enerally could hardly to appreciate. It was more appreciated by people from the outside, and the result was that the possibilitiea of wealth ' in Canada were being largely exploited by people from the United States.
He believed that in Canada there were greater possibilities for the de- velopment of wealth than in any other country in the world. A few years ago the man who predicted a billion dollar trade would have been laughed at, yet Canada's trade would this year reach that total. The United Slates' trade did not reach the billion dollar mark until 1875, when it had a popula- tion of between forty-five and fifty niillions. An examination of the
■figures revealed the fact that in no country had growth been so rapid as in Canada.
Arricnltaral Aid.
Hon. Mr. Laugheed said that so great had been the success of the aid given to the provinces for the promo- tion of agriculture that the govern- ment would probably Increase the grants this year. It was to be re- gretted that in Canada, where agri- culture possibilities were greater than in any other country in the world, some provinces gave so little atten- tion to agricultural education. The great support went to Inatitutlona which turned out consumers Instead of producers, and, while possessing arable land enough to raise food for the whole of Europe, Canada had to import food stuffs from as far away as New Zea- land. An effort should be m.ade to ConliniiPd on rnge 2, Col. 3.
Sir Edward Henry Seriously Wounded JDy a Man Who Fires Three Times at Him From Ambush.
LONDON, Nov. 27.— Sir Edward Richard Henry, commissioner of the London Metropolitan police, was shot and seriously wounded tonight by a man who had an alleged grievance against him.
Sir. Edward was alighting from his motor car at his residence in Kensing- ton, on his return from Scotland Yard, when the man rushed from the oppo- site Bide of the street and shot at him three times with a revolver. One bul- let entered the left groin, inflicting a dangerous wound; the others missed their mark.
The commissioner's driver, who is an ex-policeman, grappled with the as-* sallant and overpowered him. It turned out that the man, whose name is Bowes, had a month ago applied at Scotland Yard for a taxlcab licence, which was refused him. Subsequently he wrote to the commissioner, plead- ing for a reconsideration, but without avail. For this reason h« nursed a grievance against Sir Edward and lay In wait for him.
The commissioner has regained con- KclousnesH, but is suffering great pain. The attendant physicians pronounce the wound serious, but they hope for Sir Edward's recoevry.

Complete Denial of Globe Story That Government Support- ers Had Advance Informa- tion on Customs Alterations,
QTTATVA, Nov. 27.— A bill to amend the Companies Act was moved by W. Sharpe, Llsgar. It provides that incor- porated companies shall hold annual meetings, present annual statements to shareholders and present general statements to the Dominion as pro- vincvlal incorporated companies must do at tlie present time.
Major Currie (North Simcoe) ro?a on a question of privilege to roter to .i Globe editorial of November 'lit, v.hicli referred to John A. Macrae, secretary- treasurer of the Sarnia Fence Com- pany, charging Major Currie with st.y- Ing that he had inside information that before the end of the year the gov- ernment would take wire for fencing off the free list. This was alleged to have been said either as an inducement or th:eat to influence the Sarnia com- pany to look favorably upon a prui)- osltlon to Join a merger of wire fence manufacturers. Following up this ref- erence the Globe had called upon Hon. W. T. White to declare that neither .Major Currie nor any other member of parliament had received informa- tion as to coming, tariff changes.
Major Currie denied the whole story. He was not in the wire fencing busi- ness at all, but had called on Mr. Mac- rae at Sarnia and discussed the situa- tion generally. Their company had be- gun manufacturing wire fencing In Canada this year and at once the price had fallen through fierce American competition. Major Currie donted that his company was in any merger.
Hon. H. H. Kmerson inquired about a report that, beginning with the first of the year, ths C.P.R. would have running rights over the Intercolonial railway, and that express companies would be given isimilar privileges.
Hon. Frank Cochrane replied that the C.P.R. question was not yet set- tled, but that the Dominion Express Company now had the same rights as the Grand Trunk Express service over the Intercolonial.

SALONIUA, Nov. 27.— The Bulgarian seventh division, forty thousand strong, remains In garri.son at .Salonica and encamped in the environs. The Bul- garians insist that no agreement could be concluded by the Turks respecting the retention of Salonica, which is a matter for diplomacy to decide.
They contend that they fought their way Into the city, the capitulation of which to the Greek.s was arratigt.-<l with the Turks, it la understood in a man- ner not at all satisfactory to the Bul- garian orlicers. The Bulgarians will post sentries along the entire road from Salonica for several miles to guard against the Greeks, who are in a hvirry to reach Salonica, weakening their forces elsewhere In the neighborhood of the enemy.
Large contingents of the Turks from Monastir man>hlng southward surpris- ed a Greek investment of Horrowitz. The Greeks were routed, the casualties numbering two thousand.

SHIPS OF WAR FOR
First Lord of the Admiralty Sums Up the Vessels Which Are Being Built by the Over- seas Dominions,
THIS DDES NOT AFFECT BRITISH DONSTRUCTIOIM
LO.N'r>OJs\ Nov. 28.— Mr. Joseph Mar- tin in the House of Commons yesterday asked Premier Asqulth If he had seen the .statement in the speech from the throne in the Dominion House to the effect that certain navol dl-^closures were made to the Canadian ministers on their recent visit to London, which had made it Imperative that the'naval forces of the Empire should be strength- ened . If so. was the Canadian gov- ernment warranted in comlnir to that conclusion?
Mr. Asrjulth's reply was purely non- committal. He said that a memoran- dum had been prepared at the expres.s wish of the Canadian government which defined with fullneiss and precision the position adopted by the Imperial gov- ernment. This would be laid before the House without delay, but It must first go before the Canadian government.
Mr. B. O. Falle, of Portsmouth, asked the first lord of the Admiralty what men-of-war for the defence had been built, or were building, during the last four years by New Zealand, South Africa Canada and the Malay States, and If theae ships would be In addition to those voted by parliament, for the ship- building programme deemed sufficient by the Admiralty.
Mr. Winston Churchill replied that New Zealand had one battle cruiser nearing completion for the royal navy; Australia one battle orulaer and two aecond'class protected crulaera nearing completion, one arcond'Claas protected crulaer building, three deatroyera In conim(s«1<tn and two submarinea build- ing, all for the Royal Australian navy; South Africa had none; the NIobe and the Rainbow had been purchased by Canada, and the Malay States had one armored ship for the royal navy on offer, and this offer had baen accepted.

It was expected that Dr. Nesbitt would 'have been' placed on trial this morning, as the five true bills returned by the grand Jury this afternoon were the sole business the court had ready for considerailon.

SEALiS' imis
Collector of Customs Newberry Securing Information as to Money Made by Men of the Old Fleet.
Inquiries have been made by the Ot- tawa government from Mr. J. C. New- bury, collector of customs, for Informa- tion concerning the morrhcs earn(»<j by the sealers who were engaged in pelagic sealing wiven the new treaty went Into eftect putting an end to the Industry for a term of fifteen years. Several captains, mates and hunters have been queotloned and the informa-.ion, which is Indicative that arrangements are under way for the settlement of the question of compensation of the owners and crews of the sealing vessels whose occupation is irone becau.se of tho treaty, is belnR- forwarded to Ottawa.
As recently reported the United States government has paid over to the Dominion the sum of $200,000. which undf^r the terms of the treaty, it wa« provided should be advanced from th > share Canada Is to derive from the pro- ceeds of seal.skin.'i taken from the Prlbyl'off Island rookories. tho sum fo be used in part for the compensation of tho former sealers. The Japanes,i government received a similar advance from Washington and has made provis- ion for the payment of |«25,000 to Its owners and seal-hunters.
Ziarfra Benaflta.
Canada will heneflt largely from tho Dominion's share In the rookeries of the North Paclflc ocean, being given a percentage in not only the Prlbyloff, but also in the Russian and Japanese sealing i«lands. Recently Prof. Elliott, an authority on seal life, made an esti- mate showing the probable Increase in the herds of the Islands of St. Paul and St. George of the Prlbyloff group, his figures showing- an Increase of about 27,000 Meals last year. According to hla •stimate Canada's share In the Bering sea seal herds at the end of life of the treaty — llfteen years — would total between 15,000.000 and |B. 000, 000. How low was thf estimate he made is shown from the actual Increase during- the last year — the flr^t season during- whie'.! pelagic sealing was stopped since tho City -of San Diego went into the north- ern nm a rjuarter of a century ago. Mr. Bowers, oommlaaloncr of flshcrlea of the United Stntes, In his last report shows that the Incresse was over 90, ~ 000 seals, the females alone being- mul- tiplied from 89,400 to 81.934. The valuf of Canada's share in the Increased num- ber during the last year would alone he almost enough to pay the total claims made by the sealers.

The observations of Hon. Mr. White, in which he declared strongly for stability of the tariff, are regarded by business men ot the House as indicat- ing little chance of tariff changes this session.
It is still an open question w^hether anything will be done In regard to the Bteel schedules. A decision in regard to this matter probably will not be reached until shortly before the de- livery of tho budget speech.

Substantial Increase to Be Made to Royal Northwest Mounted Police to . Meet Expansion of Country.
PLAIN-CLOTHES MEN
WILL BE A FEATURE
OTTAWA, Nov. 17. — Premier Borden has given notice of a bill amending tho Royal Northwest Mounted Police Act. It will provide for some Impor- tant changes in regard to the force. It is proposed, in the first place, to Increase the strength of the force. There have lately been eleven divis- ional posts and 170 detachments with no sufncient reserve of strength at any of the divisional posts to meet emergencies. Tlie detachments con- sist ,ln most cases, of a single con stable.
The demand for more detachments has been constant and insistent, the population having Increased five times and the settled areas having extended tenfold, while the force has stood at tho stonctb of ten yeas ago, with CO oflicprs and less than 600 non- commissioned ofTlcers and constables.
The bin provides for a substantial increase in the strength of the force, and will also provide for a higher scale of pay for tho men. The service has experienced much dlfHculty In keeping men and In getting new ones under the existing scale, while so many op- portunities of more profitable employ- men exlMt In the western prc'lnccs.
A new departure will be a clause providing for the use of plain clothes men in connection with the Mounted Police. This need of this has been very evident In " tracking down persons wanted for murder and other offences in the scattered western aettlements.

LONDON, Nov, 28. — In the house of commons clauses 22, 23, 24 and 25 of the homo rule bill, which provided for <he setting up of a Joint exchequer board and for the treatment of Irish loans were considered last night. These mostly dealt -with tho pro ratio of the taxes. Hon. W. E. Guinness (Bury St. Edmunds) moved an amendment, the object of which was to lay down defi- nitely the statu.-n and legislation of the exchequer board. These, he alleged, ■wore being left absolutely Indetermin- ate in the bill.
Sir Rufus Isaacs, in rofu.slng- the proposal, stated that the governn-ient had decided to amend the subseriui'^nt cbauses so that the board, if de.slrcd, could obtain any opinion on a point of law from the Judicial committee. The amendment was defeated by a majority of -128.
Prof. Hewlns proposed an amendment to clause 24 which provided that the board should follow the methods to be determined by a committee of experts, presided over by the permanent secre- tary of the Imperial treasury, but lUls -.vas rejected by 124. Clauses 24 and 25 were added to the bill.

We are now In a poaltlon to give further Information' apon the subject. It la proposed by a number of our principal capltallati to have a bill pavaed through the aaaembly at an early day to have Incorporated "The Vietoria Water Company, Ltd." Borne prsllmlnaiy meeting! have taken plaee on the anb- Ject. The estimate of the capital required to complete the undertaking la roughly put down at 176,000; but In all probability thai aum will not be re«|ulr«d, aa It Is proposed to bring the water Into town In a plank flume to a reaorvolr on Sprinc Ridge, and from there aup;i1y the town through Iron pipea. The distance th* water will have to flow, following the courae of the preaent road from Blk ISkS. to town la about uight mllea.

Under thla view ot mattera, L4ingtord Iska has been named.

The Navy Policy.
Spe.iUing of the navy, Hon. _Mr, Loughced said the premier's visit to Britain this j'enr had been commented upon In a friendly way. Mr. Borden was not open to criticism for not hnv- Ing made In Encrland an announcement on the naval pollc." The constitution- al course reaulred him to formulate his programme in Canada. Sir George Ross, yesterday seemed to expect that the premier should have stepped Into th6 Admtraltj with a check for ten, twenty, thirty or forty mllilon dollars, ask them to cash it, and go and buy a few dreadnoughts with the proceeds. That would not have been a feasible or proper course. The proper one was that which was followed.
The naval 1)111 would have already been laid before parliament if It had not been delayed by the prolonging of the debate on the address in the House, of.' Commons. ^"^'hen the bill was brought down, he ,"J|||tofjjd that It would be found sati^Mi|i|9'' to the great majority of the vatift^lan people, and the conditions whicli accompanied !l would be ample.
Opposition Oritio.
Senator Dandurand said he did not Icnow what mandate tho Conservatives felt th(\v had received from the people in the last election on this (iiie.ftlon; It could better be told when thf? bill came down. The Con.servatlves rode t\yo horses in the election. That party split over the propo.-sltlon that In time of stress the Canadian navy, should go to the aid of the British fleet, but on the night of the election both horses ran Into the same stable. The gov- 9rnment was informed of their con- flicting elements. The present prime minister sought to realize all ho could from the strength of the Xationallst allies and their protiaganda in Queber. This had to bo taken into considera- tion in determining what mandate the government had been given in the late election for a naval policy.
Pacific Cop.Bt Esnatortthipa.
.Si-n.Ttor Bosloc-k voiced tho profit and pleasure tho people had (leriye<l from the visit of tho Duko and Uiichess of Connaught last summer. In British Columbia nature had, as the speech said, given the husband- man an ample return, but the pro- ducers found difficulty In getting their lirodncts to tho pri>per markets. Some attention should bo given to thlR. Senator Bostock noted that the speech indicated an Intention to appoint ad- ditional senators from Manitoba, Sas- Icatchevvan and Alberta, but no men- tion was made of a proposal to in- creaso tho senatorial ropre.sentatlon from British Columbia, although there hrul liecMi a great Increa-s-o In the popu- lation of that province.
Tlon. Mr. I..oiigheod Interrupted to .■^ay that there was statutory author- ity for the appointment of two addi- tional senators from Manltol)a, Sas- katchewan and Alberta, but, unfortun- ately, no such provision existed for Ijrltlsh CoUimhla, and authority by inipprl.al legL^Jatlon would he rrrinired. Senator Bostork said he thought the lnir>orlal parliament would not hesitate 1) grant such legislation If Canada a.sked for It.

ently fighting is In 'progress today, as the Bulgarian outposts report they, can hear cannonading several miles away. : Durarao Must Surrender
tOKDuN, Nov. :;7.— A Durazao dis- patch to The Daily Telegraph dated Wednesday morning, says that the In- habitants have prepared for the Inevit- able entry of the Servian!;, but the re- port of entry Is premature. The gover- nor is preparing to depart.
Froclamatlona of autonomy are gener- al over the larger Albanian towns, coup- led with requests for the protection of Austria, France and Italy.
Beginning In Earnest
I.ONDON, Nov. 27. — The Dally Tele- graph correspondent at Belgrade says he learns from a reliable source that Servia is abandoning her claims to Al- banian territory but insists upon in- dependent action on the Adriatic.
A correspondent of the same paper, in a dispatch from the Greek headquarters by way of Arta, says the European pu ta- ils Is greatly mistaken in the belief that the war Is nearly ended. "The campaign at lOplrus i.s ju.st Ilo^■lnnIng In earnest," adds the corre.spondeilt. "The first step Is expected to ho the fall of Janina." Xnssln and Austria.
St. Petorstiurg — .\pparenlly a rup- ture between Austria and Jtus.sia has boon averted or at least postponed. The aridlence which the Austrian am- bassador had with the Kmr^-ror yestor- day has had something to do with this. It Is pointed out that ncltlicr Rus.sin nor Austria wishes to fight over a port on the Adriatic, and tliat as long as the two governments are able to dl.s- cuss the situation In a friendly spirit the risk of war is slight.
But should Austria refuse Servia access to the Adriatic public opinion may prove too strong for thn govern- ment to resist tlio claims of tho .Slavs, and If Austria should re.sort to arms against the Servians the war feeling here is likely to asstime dangerous pro- portions.
Austrian diplomacy I.s considered too pklllful and too well Informed not to make due allowanceg for the dlfflcuUles of the Ru.'iKlon position.

COX.STANTI.XdPLI':, .Xov. 27.~Thf> negotiations between tho Turkish and Hulgarlan plenipotentiaries eontlnucd today. Osmnn .Xar.iml Pasha, the Turkish amba.-isador to Germany, ar- rived at Constantinople today. Up had a prolonged interview with the grand vizier, and suhsequentlj- attended a meeting of the ministers.
Tho danger of the reopening- of hos- tilities, however. Is still serious. .Ap- parently only an Informal armistice of 48 ho\irs has been agreed on, and It is reported that Bulgarian forces are moving closer to the Tchat.-ilja lines and entrenching to renew the attack. The Turks have an army of more than 100,000, and soon will have 130,000, for the most part fresh picked troops, be- hind the linos, and It la certain, ac- cording to all the correspondents, that they will give a good account ot them- FGlves if the fighting is resumed.
ITnder these clrcun*itances, with Adrlanople and Scutari still holding out, Turkey is little likely to show a yielding attitude in the peace negotia- tions.
efli'rn which is 82. A word of caution Js liiecessary with regard to potatoes, for while yield and auallty are generally 800(1 at harvesting, there are numerous reports of rotting In tho cellars, the pro- duce of the heavier soils having been considerably affected by the constant rains.
Area Under 7all "Wheat
The area estimated to be sown to I'all wheat In Ave provinces of Canada this season aggregates 1,086,000 acres with 1,150,900 acre.-s the area sown last year. This represents a, net decrease of T.iOO acres, or 6 per cent. In Ontario the acreage sown is 696,000 acres compared with 797,200 acres, a decrease of 101,200 acres or 12.6 per cent; in Alberta the figures are 312.00 acres as against 300,- 700, a decrease of 11,300 acres, or 3*4 per cent, and in Saskatchewan the ar.>a sown is 72,000 acres against 53,000 acres, an Increase of 19,000 acres or 36 per cent. Small areas in Manitoba and British- Columbia complete the totals.
The decrease in area la due to the per- sistent rains which have hindered ploughing and sowing operations. The condition of this crop on October 31 wjxs 92.67 per cent of the standard for the live provinces. It was above 90 In each province, except Manitoba where the small area of about 4,000 acres had u per cent condition of 88>/6.
Tall Ploughing Done
The percentage of fall i)l(j\ighing com- pleted upon land intended for next year's crops ranges from 45 in Ontario to 77 In Prince Edward Island for the east and from 24 in Alberta: to 38 in British Co- lumbia for the west. It Is remarkable that both this year and la.st year the seasons In the three northwest provinces have been adverse to fall ploughing and less than about 25 per cent of such ploughing has been possible in both years as compared with a more normal percentage at the same date of from 60 to 76. In the three northwest provinces the area summer fallowpd this year Is estimated as being from 2 to 5 per cent more than last year.

Senator J. A. O'Qornian Daolarag It Is

laawa Be Hevised
WASHINGTON. Nov. 27.— Senator .lames .\. O'Gorman, of New York, be- lieves that congress should proceed at the earliest practicable moment to en- act currency legislation. Ills attention was directed to tlie fact that Governor Wilson believes not only that currency reform is due the countrj-, but also that tlie Democratic party tiiereby should protect Itself against the possible recur- rence of paiilei! like tliat which once be- fore brought dKsastor and defeat.
Senator O'Gorman said: "Panics In this country are nearly all alike In that they have developed through defects In the currency system. That was the case In 1907. It is vitally necessary that tho currency laws be revised and improved in sucli a way that the need!? of the country may bo met In times of finan- cial ."itrlngensy.
"1 am not prepared to discuss the dp, tails of such legislation, but I think that the nuestion might well be handled at the extra session of congress, Th-^ra will probably be plenty of time for that purpose, although, of course, as Indi- cated by Governor Wilson'.s statement, the extra session Is to be called primar- ily for revision of the tariff.
"Democratic conferences will be held before long to determine a legislative programme for tlie extra session. Of course. It may be that the programme will exclude currency legislation."

It Is expected, will i^ln<ti9^& t|iree days' programme, will ln\lt*'4l^5Bommandeis of all British CoUimWft "rowing and >achtln.g clubH, together with the commanders of what- ever vessels may be located In the liar- bor, to assist them in drawing up a suitable programme of aquatics. It is not antieipat«d that there will bo any difficulty in sc.curlnK that iK.ssi.stance, a.s in most ca.ses the desire for co- operation has come from without.
In oi-der to better cover the ground alloted to It. the commltt-ce charKf'l with the car.s of tlie decorations has been .sub-dlvliled into three sections, one to look excluslv<-ly after the street decorations, another to give regard sol-ely to the harbor decorations and the electrical and other illuminn tions, and the third to pay special attention to the floral display, the beautificatlon of the parks and the flower show. The Joint committee will also work In har- mony with the Xatural Historical So- ciety of thi- province with a view tti obtaining a permanent building in which to house objects of Interest to the nat- uralist.
Severnl ladle.-? will be invited ^o Join the musical committee. -It Is tlie in- tention of this committee to produce something In the nature of a musical festival, the quality of which will Ions be remembered. In that connection it is desired that a unique concert be ar- ranged for in the new theatre, wiiich will, of course, be completed by that time.
Xauy ranotlona,
iljlko Hhe committee In icharge of cierornflnns, the parade committee haa been divided into three sections, a pa- rable committee to arranse the details of the street parade, a pageant commit- tee to organize enthusiasm for a spec- tacular function of a naval' and mili- tary description, rcvlvljig the histor- ical memofle.'! of Vancouver and Qua- dra, and. a theatrical committee to .sup- ply a p\ay and players of local interest and talent, to be produced during car- nival week In the new theatre.
The sports committee will naturally have devoted to their care the land cv-ents of an athletic nature. An ef- fort will be made to have all the local clubs and sporting or.canizatlons in the city hold their respective annual meets during the '.veck of the '.'arniva!. In connection with this department It may be slated that Fire Chief Davis has so far enthused over the project as to commit himself to tlie realization of a race to be participated In by the rep- resentative firemen of the entire prov- ince. Teams will be sent here from the interior and other parts of the prov- ince to compete in these events.
Consildorable Importance attaches to the naval and mil'itary tournament which will probably extend over two or three afternoons of the week. An In- teresting feature of this committee's work will be tJie attempt to have a re- union of the old boys of the EtS Hcgl- raent. There is another select com- mittee looking cxclus'lvely after the re- union work, but It Is not expected tiiat their operations will clash at all, for the first is devoting itself entirely to old members of the "5th" whereas the other is working along, general lincfl endeavoring to bring back for that aua- plclous occasion a goodly numher of men, women and children who were either born here or lived here at one time or another. This work necessar- ily entails a large amount of cam- paigning as well as advertising. Traasportatton Xattera . An exceedingly gratifying condition of things faces the trarusportatlon com- mittee. Already {heir number has been Increased by representatives of the Oregon. Washington Kallroad and Navigation Company, the B. C. Electric Co., the C, N. R., C. P. R, and the E. Ni R. To* that complimentary lljt may be added several more as promises of assistance have been tendered by th > Bouthern Pacinc and other lines. Tlie presence of these large intnrestn on the transportation committee ensures the support of (he railway companies, which in turii mean cheap rates from all points, »t\A which In turn means a sreat influx of visitors to the earnlval.

Tlie function, the first of Us lilad to he glv'jn by the letigue during the four years' existence of the organlzatl-.-in, proved a success despite tlie fact that some of the outside gentlemen invited to attend were unavoidably absent.
Seventy memtfers and friends of tiic league, of both .sexes, were present, llie leading organlxatioiif; engaged In mora! reform work being represented. llr. ./uhn Meston, president of tlie voters' league, presided. .\n excellent menu v.as provided and the afler-dinner addresses were Interspersed with a well rcndcre.-! programme of aong-s an-d recitations.
The chief speaUers of the evening were Mr. "William Atkinson, of Seattle, wiio came -In tlie place of Mayor Col- terlll. of tiiat city, the latter being unable to make the trip; Mrs. W. A. WllUscroft, president of the W. C. T. U.; Mrs. A- E. Mitchell. president of the Political liqua.lity t.«ague, and Revs. C. M. Tate, Robert Connel and Dr. C T. Scott. Mr. O- V. Gibson, of Vancouver, president of the Vancouver Good Govornuient League, was unable to attend.
Improved Conditions
Mrs. Willlscroft. referring to the Rreat Improvement In the moral condition of the city during the p.-ist few years as contrasted with that for the. preceding years, testified to the deslri> of, I he W. C. T. U. to work with the voter.s' league and kindred organlz.atipn8 to the end that stilly gr«itcr improvement should take pl.ice. A united front should be presented against every In- fltjenee which did not exert itself in a beneficial way on civic life.
Rev. C. M. Tate, representing the In- ternational Order of Good Templars, urged a still stronger fight againat the liquor traffic and the' election to office of men determlni:d to reduce the evil *lo n. minimum even if it were not possible to totally eradicate It under exLtsring Inws. He regretted that some of tlie suggestions nindo by the reform organi- zations of the city had not, met wltli a fuller acceptance by the City council. The only explanation he could give wns that there are not at present the rU'iit men in the riRht place.
.Mr. George Hell, acting sccrot.'iry of the Y. M. (". A., outlini'il the work be- Irvg done b,v that organization towards the moral and phy.'^Icai uplift of the ynung men of the city. He urged a sympathetic resimnse to the .ii)i)onI of the directors for funds to make up the deficiency of $l.'i,000 retiulred to put the work on ,t, proper footing jind re- move the IndebtodneflR. now t-xlstlng.
Mrs. A. K. Mitchell, president of the Political Equality League, spoke brief- ly In favor of the frnnchlse for woinen as a necessary step towards better j govornment, and ' Mr. .\tklnson. of SeattJr. <'dd of the work of .Mn>»fvr t'otterlU. of that city.

Rev. Robert ("onnoll, secretary of the social service comir:laslon, an or- ganization wtth which are affiliated all the various religious bodies of the city, urgetf'the necessity of co-opera- tion along the Mnca of legislation, educatloix and inspiration. He de- clared that the church as a. live body must train the people In habits and morals to prepare theiTi to fight united body against the evils of and the liquor trafl'l.c.
Civic righteousness and social form, Rev. Dr. Scott, pastor of Metropolitan Methodist church clared. Is the doctrine A^ing preached today. It was the comtflerclallzed side of vice which made'U bo diffliailt to fight. When the governing bodies learned to place agalnflt the financial revenue from the llqtior traffic the re- sults of such traffic, then, and then only, would the absolute necessity of the abolition bt the tv^iffic be fully ap- preciated. He was fturprlaed to see Victoria was not in line with other cltlPS of Canada, In the enforcement of the laws relating: to flahbath ob- servance.

A. WAVAI. COKTEIBITTIOW.
.Sir Oeorge KoBs, the new leader of the Senate, during the dcbdte on the address is reported to have said that ci Canadian naval contribution to Great Britain would bo like "throwing a lK,nny In a beggar's cup." We can nclthrr admire the language nor the .sentiment which it would imply. Great Britain never has, and we bcllevo never will, ask this tountry for one cent of money, for a single ship, or for a man, under existing conditions. AVhateyer the overseas dominions have done to assist In Imperial defence "has been done voluntarily, and comes in the nature of a tardy recognition of the duty which they owe to themselves .".nd their kinsmen under tlie Hag. W:.' cannot be too emphatic on this point. Whatever we do, and again wc express tho hope that it will be something worth while, let no mistaken Impres- sions get abroad that wo are confer- ring anything in the nature of a favor on the people of the Old Ijand. Can- ada'.s contribution will not alter the naval policy of the Admiralty one iot.i. It will not relievo a Single taxpayer in the United Kingdom. In its very essence the contribution wliich Mr. Borden will propose will be something supplementary to the present pro- gramme. We. believe that conditions have arisen In the building up of naval armaments where the opportunity Is presented to this country to play an interesting and Important part. It l.s common knowiidge that Mr. liordcn will also formulate a pcnnanent pol- icy which we hopo will provide for efflclent protection on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of the Dominion. Pending any announcement, however, criticism such as that offered by tho leader of the Senate is premature, and. when couched In buch language, it Js altogether at variance with facts. ZSQtrXKAtT'S DEPENCES.
Lord Weardale, who Is head of the Channel Ferry Company, announces thai the plans for a car-fefry service across tile Straits of Dover are well advunci'd to^ completion. Three years ago ParMa- ment grunted the necessary po\*er8 to u company to establish a ferry service be- tween Dover artd Calais, but the railway directors, interested were iiuile aj)athoUc ^on the subject. The wonderful mih'cosk that has atteiidi'd the transballic •ar- ret rks, which cover a distance of. t-ixiy- two miles, has arou.svid the attention of the BrltiMli railway i\:< n. Traffic be- tween the points served by the Baltic system has Increased enormously during the two years the ferries have been In operation. Tlie number of pasaeligcrs alone has Increased four-fold. It aeera.s difficult to explain why there should be such a remarkable gain in tho number of
passengers. That the volume of freight * a

As w.. have pointed out before on ni'ire iluin one occasion they are altogether Inttdtv- quale. Considering tli(.' sirtitegrlcal Im- portance of KsQulmalt the Hnmiint of money spent here by the mllltla de- partment is altogether out of propdr- tlon to that expended In !he upltpep at Quebec and Halifax. To refresh the public memory on this question we reproduce the totals of ttie pa.v ;ind allowances for the permanent forco at different points according to''the rte^iX of the Mllltln Councl for tho year end- ing March 31, 1311. ,

At the present time the authorized establishment at Work Point barracks Is some 150 officers and ninn, but the actual strength falls very far short of this number. As Mr. Barnard polnt*'d out, at the time that the Imperil authorities kept troops here the estabr Mshment was upwards of nve hundred all told. All this, of course, is aulte outside the active mllitlci. . If the mem- ber (or Victoria aucceeda In Inducing the Militia Department to Increase the atrenvth of the Baqulroalt varrlson he will have , aocompliabed a good work, and we believe that he will leave no aiona ufitunwd to brine about DUm reault

a ProgresBlvlBt campaign tho idea that tariff reduction was tho one thing to- wards which they trend. In our judg- ini'nt this aspect of llie case has been unduly exaggerated. Tariff reduction is to bo expected, but. as Democratic and Progressivlst principle do not bo- gin with the tariff, so neither- do they end with it. Nothinij In the late elec- tion Indicattis an Inteiulun on the part of the pioi)le of the I'nUiU States tS abandon protection. That the tariff will be lowiTfd In certain lines may be ac- ceptcil ;i.s a tQrt't;o"i' conclU'SiiMi, but these reductions will only form part of a general ^lan to emancipate the coun- try from the control of what la some- times called the Money-power, some- times the iQtorcsls. somutlmes the Tru.sts, by which t«*ms what Is meant Is an oligarchy of wealtli.'

THE NEW AKSASSAEOE.
Sir Cecil Arthur Sprlng-Blce, who has been named as successor to Mr. Brycc as ambassador at Washington; comes of * '"•'"lly that has made a good record in diplomacy,, and is himself a man of very considerable experience. He is now ftfty-three years of age. He had such instruction In public Affairs as would be acquired by * man who was* assistant .private secretary to Earl Crranvllle and confldential Secretary of Lord Kost'bery. His diplomatic exper- ience has beeii» gained in Persia, where- ho was charge d'affaires; In Egypt, where he was cammissloner of the pub- lic debt; In Russia, where he was sec- retary of the British embassy; In the United States, where he was secretary to the International Maritime^ Confer- encc, and again in Persia where he was British minister and consul-general.
To what degree this varied experience has litted him for the post of ambassa- dor at Washington, time * can de- termine, but his success in so many dif- ferent positions seems to indicate a faculty of adapting himself to the re- quirements of new ofHcial duties. We are somewhat In sympathy with an eastern contemporary, which suggests that Sir Cecil might well employ his -tlnie bsfore taklnyr his new ofTice In visiting Canada and seeing for himself what one of the parts of tho Empire Is like, to which he will have to give a very great deal of hLs attention.
A PKOOHESSryiST VIEW.
Mr. Munsey, the publisher, wa.s ono of tho foremost supporters of Mr. Roosevelt In his candidacy. * His opin- ion on the n'.-sult of the election Is of considerable Interest. It Is contained In the December number of his maga- :!lne. In It he lays .great stress upon the fact that Mr, Wilson did not re- ceive a rtinjorlty of .the popuiat- vote, antl points out that In this refipect the volume of his support does not differ irrf.ntly from tl'at received hy Mr. Bryaii and .liidge I^arkor, wJten they were can- didates of tlio Democratic party. Ho lookn upon ?ilr. Taft'.s vote ns repre- sentative of the f'.ill ."Strength of the Re- publican party, .ind claims that Mr. Wilson's victory le really the achieve- ment of the Progres.slvlsts. n nlnlrn that cannot easily be qu'estlon*d. The chief Interest In Mr. Munsey's article arises from the fact that he Is careful to dis- avow for the Progresslvlsts any further as.soclatlon with the Republican party. He say.*!. "The verdict of th« natlun l.« distinctly and primarily a verdict agalnfit the Republican party." and H^aln: "The Republican party's star Is ob.scured by that of the new Progre><a- Ivl.sl party, which polled an cmphatlc- ftlly larger vote than fell to the Repub- lican party." lie heads hiji article; ",\ Great Ilemocratlc Victory and a Oreat ProgresRivlBt Triumph." He concludes by saylns: "The Ropublican party has gone Into eclipse because of a paralat- entV.onscrvatlsm that got out of touch with the people. The Progresslvlsts hav^p become the leading party In op- pcxslt-lon to the triumphant Democracy."
If Mr. Munscy aeea the case aa It ac- tually Is, the result of the election may be very far-reaching. The minds of moat peoifle. when considering United States poUtica, not , unnaturally turn flrat to the tariff. The reason of thlH la that the Hepublloana have placed the tariff In the forefront on every poaaible occaalon. Menci* there haa .been mi- Mcia ted with a Democratic victory and

The Toronto W^orld thinks that Post- master-General Pelletlor should not wait to learn how the United States parcels post system works, but follow British precedent and enlarge Canada's existing system. We are inclined to think The World Is right.
A Calgary paper says the opening of Parliament was a tame affair. Our eon- temporary has a recollection of the Stampede In his mind.

Mr. Andrew Carnegie proposes to es- tablish a fund out of v.'hlch ex-presl- dents of the United States shall receive a pension of $25,000 a year so that they can devote their time to the public wel- fare.

The vast sum of $70,000,000 Is to be expended In Imprftvemonts to the. Lon- don docks.

If Smith, .loner; 'and lloblnson are partners in a going concern what Vk'ould Jones and llobln- son think of Smith, who by reason of being tlie arrogant member of the firm cooly Igiiored hl.s partners when tallilng or writing of the firm and called it Smith for siiort; Smith's navy. Smith's army, Smith's victories (althougli nearly all of them arc won by Jones and liobinson.) Would Smith by doing so not earn the dislike of his partners, and when Smith, w)io knows he has no right to Ignore his partners, explains to them that when he uses the lilgh- soundlng name of Smith in place of the firm's name they must not be annoyed, because ho Includes tliem under his own glorious name. Would Uones and Uoblnson not feel more Insulted than ever by this additional display of bad taste. Jones and Itobertscni are proud "not oft boliig connected with Smith," but of being pietnbers of tho big suc- cessful flnn of Smith, Jones and Uobln- son, for tlmt firm, Jones and Hobln- son would fight while a drop of blood remained In their veins, but for Smith they would not fight at all.
Why then will Englishmen dellber- ntely Insist on Insulting, slighting and Ignoring their Imperial partners? Thes« I-artner.s have contributed a much larger proportion of honors and laurels to the empire than Englishmen have done, and they deserve all the honors coming to them. It Is poor policy as well as had taste, and undoubtedly is a first-class method of breeding race hatred, and tills is a time we should all stick together, "not for the sake of John Bully," but for the empire.

The Time.i corrects a stalfment made in The Colonhst to' the effect that V.MI- littm Lyon Mackenzie was a native of the United Statee. We ore much obliged to It for the correction. Our ml.'?inko arose from the fact that in his "rebel- lion" ha had a number of active sj-mpa- thlzors from the llnltcd States, and that after it had ended in a fiasco, he went to New York, where he was given an offl- clol position, remaining there' until ,a general amne.>?ty was granted to all who had taken part In the rebellion. Macken- Ble was. as our contemporary reminds us, a native of Scotland. As to hla ideas of what constituted responsible govern- ment, we may add that perusal. of the dispatches, which passed between the Colonial government and the Colonial Office, and the reports of the apecchoa oiP leadlnc men on both aides of politics In British ^North America, ahow that Mr. Mackenale, if, aa we aald, he Waa ignorant of what reaponalble government meant, was, in that respect, in very «oo4 compaaf^ '

Sir: Learned and lucid as has be«n the discussion in The Colonist on the subject of I,alln pronunciation, the su- periority of the Italian over the Eng- lish system, and the proper accentua- tion of the Italian soft "C"; yet I think, and submit, that the controversy Is too much of a display of dazzling fireworks, and that before being In- dulged In, proflclenc.v In our own lan- guBgo ought to be unmistakably at- tained.
The Latin language is "dead" as a mear«i of verbal communication; and why .-should we waste valuable time and talents In wrangling over Its pro- nunciation? If wo are able to read it wltli tfie same ease and facility as we rea<l our own language, we have ach- ieved all that Is required by the most enullte student except, perhaps, the pedant; and we have done mucli to give us a command over the English tongue,^ both grammatically and verb- ally— a command which would, with very little else, amount to a mastery of It, with a consequential power to resist colloquial irregularities, and the flagrant misapplication of words.
One can hardly read half a column of the averaHe dally paper without en- countering blunder after blunder both in grammar and diction; and even the correspondence In The Colonist on "Latin Pronunciation" Is not free from the taint of erroneous gram- mar in 'English. "Verbum sapicntlbua."
There Is no more fervent lover of I,atin than I "am. It has been the most potent factor in moulding the English tongue, which, when fully understood and properly used. In the most powerful and expressive In the world today, not only for large and comprehensive ideas, but for the merest affairs of everyday life. Tt Is thoroughly clastic; and much of its elasticity Is d6rlved from tha Latin. ,
lAtln poetry, philosophy and oritory are superb and aubllme; but fcnr of
idfiflcte !^ fieglnintirg at Oe foot; no*' can they by handling and examining, invertedly, statutory patchwork reach the foundations of our legal structure. ThosiS foundations lie in Roman law. ;ind In tho Latin tongue now dead ex- cept In 80 far as It has been trans- planted or transfused Into our own and other lan.?uages. But we must i«now It. if its terminologies are to continue In our law and legislative en- actments; and these cannot be eradi- cated or, in future, avoided. They are as fixed as the pillars of the constitu- tion Itself; and those. I fervently hope, are fixed for ever, not only for the benefit of this great and glorious Do- minion but for tho world at large, and civilization in globo.
Latin is es.sential not only to the thorough lawyer but to the accurate jTrammarian; but I care not whether the "C" ..Is pronouncpd hard or soft, so long as our statutes are precise, and our language c^a.«.C8 to be polluted by pettifogger.", who are either too lazy or too Ignor.int to employ It In the matchless wealth of splendor and power which Inheres to It in its purity.

of
Sir, — The subject of the caption of this letter is of such importance, affecting, as it does, one of the principal sources of the wealth of the province, that I refrain from offering any apology for intrusion on your space. I not'ce in your yesterday's issue that Mr. P. J. CaverhlU reports much of the land be- tween Hazel ton and Fraser's Lake, which had been burned over, has been regrown to a conslderablo extent with lodge-polo pine. This is the pine Icnown botanically as plnus contorta and plnus nuirrayana, accounted as one of the most valueless of our many cbnifers, and whilst it Is about the only one which occurs naturally In any quantity In that part of the province, u.nd, therefore, is of a certain commer- cial value, the posslblliiy of other more valuable timber trees being grown Is rendered nugatory by the fact that the land having been burned over, the seed bed. and with It tho seeds of other woods are to a great measure destroyed. Now the reason why the lodge-pole pine does not suffer the same fate Is the ability of the closed cones to endure a fire which kills the 'tree, without In- juring its seed, and being a tree ubl; (lultous as to its habitat, occurring as it does, on high mountains and at sea level, In dry gravelly . land, and In swamps, the seed is of sucii a hardy nature that it will retain fts vitality for long periods, and when released will germinate under the most adverse circumstances and under conditions when other seeds perish. This ex- plains why many of our forests, originally of valuable commercial woods, which have been devastod by fire, become reafforested with the greatly less valuable tree In question. The moral of all this is the keeping down of forest fires and on lofeged- over areas; go where you will and the lesson Is apparent; those areas un- touched by fire are naturally re- afforested with the original timber trees, whilst the burned-over areas, whore the seed bed is destroyed, about the only tree to be^ sern is tho pledge polo pine. I take credit to myself for having many years .Tgo directed atten- tion to this phase of the forest ques- tion, and had the stringent measures been then adopted which were recom- mended, much of the burned-over lands, now barren wastes or overgrown with ooiipiparatlvely worthless trees, would hive . been preserved • as sources of futtifa wealth; but better h^te than never, ao It Is to be hoped that thoae

HAS EXCITING HOLIDAY
VlBitor, After Having' Harrow i:«cape
rroni Death, Buns Poul of Illicit
Drug Purveyor
When John Hutchinson, employed at Tod Inlet, left a few days aso to spend his holidays In Victoria he little reckvMi- ed on the variety of life in the caplt.al. The evening he arrived by the narrowent kind of chance he escaped having his throat cut by John M. Telfor, who \n now tjnder arrest churKC-d with malici- ously assaulting Anibray Ohren, a hack driver, who-so throat he cut deeply hut not fatally when he ran amok oii lower Yatca street. Hutchinson was passing- at the time and received a cut across the neck above the collar, hut fortunately for him the knife went lltt!; more than skin deep.
Yesterday Hutchinson, who la a Wit- ness for the prosecution .against ToUit, fell in with an Individual named Harr.v G. S. Losch. * They met again about 10.30 o'clock when _ I^osch came to Hutchinson's room , at the Delhi Hotel, Yates street. Losch had a parcel which lie explained to Hutchinson contained ii quantity of opium and cocaine and he .suKKCflted that the latter could make some money by taking the druK' down to Chinatown and .selllnjj it. Hutchln- .son's fxi>i.'rlc«oo of the i)revlous nlRhl naturally made him suspicious of newly formed acquaintances, and with a sin- cere desire to land all offenders behind the bars he seized Losch, at the same time crying out for aHslst/ince.
The proprietor of the Delhi heard the call and as a result the police were sum- moned and LoMch was placed under ar- rest and locked up on a charge of heltig in pos.sesslon of opium. Two tins of that drug and a considerable quantity of cocaine besides some Yen She were contained in the parcel. Losch will bo arraigned thi.t morning.

^4^d yet bow ^ttiaik iless and. what world'.*" 'iSia relic of philosophy applied to yesterday's There may not be much virtue in a couple of points when the score roR-ister has been as severely ex- ercised by both contingents as it was yesterday, but whatever meed of praise i.H duo the winners tor achievement must be in tribute for that extra tally. Thirteen points to eleven suggests Im- iiiediatBly a close game, but Just ex- actly how close It was can only be ap- preciated by tlioso who were present. .Tust one slight slip kept the recording pivot from swinging in another direc- tion and Vlctorian.s, InsteatJ of rejoic- ing from, llguratlvely sveaking, wear- ing crapo.
DlfTerenoe In Styl*. The pla\- rovcakil a wonderful differ- ence in sii'le. Australia proved them- Ki'lves exponents of the new maclilne- llke method that produces tries by mnthetnatical calculation. There i.«i little blood in them but they count just the same. They play with their brains. Victoria, on the other hand, Infused every human element Into their pIa^^ _hands, feet, grot, and further, the en- t'lusiasni tind dash so characteristic • if the old school. Not that Victoria lacked Science, but what science they displayed was hopelessly outclassed not merely by the superior science of their opponents, but also by vastly more effective elements in their play. It was a case of science fulling to solve the issue for the Australians against the strident, heroic plunging of the Victorians. But there was method In the plunging as the scores will indicate.
While the Irresistible forward play of tlie Victorian.s had most to do T\ith tlie vlutory, the fact must not be over- looked that in Three-Quarter Back Carow Martin, Victoria lind a man whose, speed enabled him to r'U tlie finishing touches on play.-^ which might have gone for nought. To iMartln be- longs the topmost niche in local ath- letic stardom. He was too fast for tlie THUch heralded speedsters on the War- atah back division and twice raced around the wing for tries when a slower, lighter man would certainly liave been downed.
The two Grants were oft color, Gal- liher played a good game, although none too sure in his pawning and re- ceiving of passes, and all the forwards iperformed grandly. Ronald Gillespie, Kdwnrds and Holnekey being the pick. "Boss" .Fohn.aon had trouble finding touch In the early part of tho game hut his kicking improved towards the finish greatly.
.... The Oame
Victoria got the ball at their feet from the kick-off and carried it into the visitors' twenly-flve territory, a little later forcing the Australians to touch down for safety. From a scrum an Australian picked out and Victoria was awarder! a free kick, from which R. Gil- iespift scored with a fine effort.
From the ktck-off, the Waratahs forced the play for a while, during which they registered their first try, getting the oval from u itne-out near Victoria's goal-line and sending Dwycr over aftar a passing run. Prentice's attempt to convert failed.
This seemed to infume a new llf^lnto the h^sTB ffuaru, if that whs poAsible, and until almost half time- the team from across the seas was but rarely dangerous. It took the locals less than Hve minutea to go Into the lead again. Sholto Gllleapie started a dribble fro>n mldfleld, beating man after man In sen- sational fashion. The culmination of this spurt was provided by Carew Mar- tin, who, following up close picked up beautifully when Olllesple was stopped and literally rammed his way over. The kick to convert missed ,lt» mark by a foot or so, but considering the difficult ■Kglp at which It was made Ronsld Gil- lespie's attempt' was good.
Victoria'* next attack of any conse- quence was led by (^liampaln and a. C. Grant, but a pass w««. dropped close to Australla'a coal line anA eome smart *rork went for nouirht, tiic vlal^rs forc- ing their way back with short ktcklnlf until the lost territory w«e - recovered. «• MoiMmg ftooAis Th^re w«« no holding the Islanders, thoach.

A throw Into ttiuoh gave Victoria a free kiok and a ciiance for another score followlnjr a characteristic dashing drib- ble and Ronald OiUesple made a nice try from an extrertwly hard angle. A long kick Into touch by IXmbar relieved tlie pressure on the liarassed Antlpo- deans but only for a moment. D. M. Grant, Heinekoy and Ronald Ginesi)ie broke back and Gllleapie was rushed into touch within a couple of yards of tlie line. Tlie ball was whipped out to the Victoria backs from a scrum ai(d a possible chance to add. to th'-lr points was lost by a feeble pass. Australia were again forced to kick to save them- selves.
Martin In JUmellrht
While the struggle was being waged with unabated vigor in the visitors' lialf of the pitch, Carew Martin again came into the limelight with his most mag- nificent sprint, which resulted in Vic- toria's final score. G. C. Grant wa^ given the ball from a scrum and madu a poor pass to Gallihcr. The latter missed the catch, but picked up nicely and snapped ttie ball to Martin on the wing. The latter had considerable dis- tance to cover, but he showed that he was too fast for the Waratah backs and, after side-stepping three of them, raced over and grounded in the extreme left corner. D. JijI. Grant did not lift the ball at all dn his kick to convert.
Following this there was an inter- change of kicking and tlie liome side seemed to lose some of their steam, the play gradually reverting into their territory. They made one linal attack, which had the "ear marks" of success about it and in which Carew Martin was once more conspicuous and then dropped back into a more or less defen- sive game.
Some negligence of tli? part of Vic- toria gave the Au.stralians their second try in this half. The ball was passed out from a scrum, sent along the three- quarter line in faultless style and Mei- "bush ran over wtthbut any opposition. One of the local backs was out of po- sition or it could not have happened so easily. The try was not converted and shortly afterwards tlio half ended with tho score 13 to 6 in Victoria's favor.
Second XaU
Until towards the finish of the second half, when the Waratahs came into their own and showed the class of football they are capable of, there was not nearly so much action as there was in the open- ing period. Victorians had apparently played themselves out by the tremend- ous— and it mu.st be said unusual — force of their attack in tlie first session and gave a comparatively poor exhibition.
The Waratahs, on the other hand, gingered up wonderfully as the game wore on and in the last few minutes gave a truly marvellous display. So Un- expected was the burst and so clean cut, clover and effective their plays that they won the symprnthy of the onlookers and frenzied cheers of admiration greeted their efforts as they strove to pull down Victoria's lead. The Victorians were struggling madly In the last ditch as the whistle blew and li«d there been a few minutes more to play — well, there is a reasonable chauoe that the result might have been different.
It was not until well on in the half that anything occurred worth record- ing. The play was held at mldfleld pretty well, with occasional short dashes in either direction.
XelBttkey BobblM
Once Victoria got under way eplrtt- edly. but Helnekey. the last man In the world one would havo expected such a thing from, kicked too, far ahead; again a free kick for "hands in the scrum'' .gave the locals an opportunity to add soi^e points; and on still another occa- sion Melbush streaked past three local huskies, Helnekey. R. Olllesple and £3d- wards, who had carried the oval Over the line, and touched down when a pcorc eeemed certain. The non-succcsa of this la«t effOft showed plainly that th<^ local stalwarts had lost their ■team, and when the enfareBient welled Into lla former fierce height |;t was the Aqstra- llane who were on the accreaelve.

tjpreading out across the field they n<adf the first of the series, of their marvellous runs and reached Vlctorla'e twcnty-iavo. At thin point In tii« o.*i"C Ronald Gillespie, captain of the Vic- torians and perhaps their most reliable forward, was laid out with a broken nose. He gamely tried to come back, but eventually had to leave the field for good and the Islanders were much weak- ened in consequence.
Australia began to get the ball from the scrum regularly and this gave their backs plenty of openings to show their ,Bpeed and clever combination. The Oreateat Vlay
Easily the prejtlest play of the game — all the more so because of the finished ease with which it w:i8 engineered — was commenced by the Australians at centre field and finished with a try between the goaiiiosts by l-'ugh. A dozen men or .•«o participated >ii the play and the ball flashed from hand to hand, In and out, so swiftly that It was difficult to fol- low its course. Tla« kick waa an eaay one, and Captain Prentice converted, making the score 13 to 11.
The foregoing was the prelude to ii number of otiier runs of a very similar nature, wlilch kept the spectators on tenterhooks of apprehenoion and the h^M^^|^pjp9';. lead a very doubtful

^ The sofcer games tills Hiiturday am of more than ordinary, importance as not only Is It probable Uiat, as fjir as the championship Is concerned, the se- nior league aeries will finish. *.ut there may be an upset In the second league.
On form to date the Wests should bo easy winners In the senior league. But there Is never any telling. The Navy- Ksqulmslters are In the cellar position, but are acknowledged to possess strength If their full team ,can be got- ten onto the field, and it Is .(ust po.«i- slblc that they may trim the Wests as the Thhstles did last Saturday.
The game at Royal Athlctluc park ouitht to be a good one, ns the .Sons of England cannot afford to lose to the James Bays,- it they are to stick In the running.
Ilj the aecond league the Wards have a chnnce to Increase their lead as the Wests are off for a day. The Fifth Regiment cannot field a team, a num- ber of their men being called to gun- ^ li nery examination at Macauley PcHnt.
VANCOUVER, B. C. NoV. 27.— With the arrival today of Goldle Prodgcrs, Eddie Oatman and Jack McDonald, liiree of Quebec's hockey stars, and Fred Taylor and Carl Kendall due tomorrow morning from the cast, tho influx of eastern players has begun in earnest. Before the end of the week all of the players grabbed by the Paclflc Coast League in the raid on the N. H. A. teams will be here and the season will open on December 10.
The latest development in tlie hockey war comes the announcement that Dld- ier PItre will remain In the cast, play- ing with the Quebec club. Kennedy ha.s rushed to Lichtenheln's aid and his ac- tion i» turning Pltre over to Quebec af- ter entering Into a written agreement wllh the Patricks tliat PItre would come west in a trade for Newsy L,a- londe means that the end of the liockcy war Is not yet at hand. Kennedy ap- peals to have double crossed the Coast leaKue mt)guls and it will occasion no surprise to learn that- they have decided to continue their raid on liio eastern cluhs.
Evidence of Perfidy
"Wa have it In writing from' Kennedy thKt he would send Pitre to ua^ in cx- chaflge for Lalonde but lie hna gono ovir to tho other side and adopted the aumo. tactics as Llciitcnheln In the jires- cnt war," declared l-'rank I'atrick to- night. "We are now satisfied that we cannot rely on them to act In a fair busines.'Jlike manner and. Just -so long as Kenitedy of Lichtenheln are connect- ed with.lJastern hockey, we would never consent to enter Into agreements with the N. H. A. in the matter of oiKaniz- Ing a commission." That the war will ormtinue th(#re is no doubt. The Coast magnates have tliruc Eastern stars In view who may be prevailed upon to tioard a train this week for the West Sammy lyiclitenheln Is endeavoring to till the N. H. A. ranks antl several coast players are in receipt of tele- ginms from' him asking them to name their own terms.
Teama Are Filled
The line-ups -of the coa-st teams are practically settled witli the oxcnption of one vacancy on the Westminster team and tliis will be tilled within tlic next few days. The probable line-ups are ns follows.
Vancouver — Goal. Parr: point, V. Patrick; cover point, Griffis; rovei-, Tay- lor; right wing, ,Iaclc McDonald, left wing, I'red Flarrls. .Spares, t'lrlck, Nicli- ols, Tobin. Carl Kendall will likely play centre.
