OFFICIAL STATEMENT

'Worl< WillBe Pushed to Com- pletion Just as Rapidly as Men and Machinery Can Do Says He

it,"

today, D. O.

The Colonist Is privileged through the courtesy ' of Mr. Lewis, the district ent,'ineer of the Can- adian Northern Pacific Railway Com- pany, to print on page 14 an excellent map, ahowlng how the portions of the former Songhees Indian Reserve allo- cated to railway purposes will be di- vided under the agreement between the Provincial Government and the two railway companies concerned.

It will be found complete in every de- tail as illustrating the transformation which Is to be effected on the old re- serve in order to keep pace with the rapidly growing Importance of Victoria as a railway centre. The only point which win be found missing is the marking of the tracks of the B. C. Electric Railway Company over the pro- posed new bridge at the foot of John- son Street and on the Point Ellice Bridge, but the former having been ar- ranged for , In the agreement and the latter being now in existence, the tram- way lines can be consid«red to be on the map.

In o-xplaining the plana to The Col- onial, Mr. Lewis, who is the author of the plan and responsible for Its prepa- ration, said: "The preparation of this plan was rfenderod much less laborious than otherwise it would have been on account of the accurate data and plan pr«p«r«d ;by Mr. J, R. Holman, and 1 wish to express my appreciation of his work."

The bases of the agreement by which the former reserve has been divided into throe pArts, one for the Canadlai\ Northern ractfl-' Railway, the other for th« Island Division of the C. P. R.. and the third for the t"Sovernment, were told In The Colonist of Christmas Day, but In vleW of the importance of the sub- ject and the great interests involved, it Is thought well to give some further data In reference to the arrangement arrived at.

A roadway will parallel the waterfront from Lime Bay to a point within 300 reet of Point KlHce Bridge, so that ac- cess can be obtained to the different Industrial sites and docks.

"The common-user tracks will be sit- uated between this roadway and the ■watarfront and will be for the use of the Canadian Northern Pacific, the C. P. R.i and any other railways whleli may in the future come to this ter- minal.

OTTAWA. Dec. 28.— It Is believed here that a poaslble settlement of the Grand Trunk differences Is in sight, The Indictment of Puresident Chamb«r- Un by the federal grand jury In New York on Monday was a ahoclt to his friendd, after a two years' campaign in securing the good will of a larpe part of the New Englanders, based upon promises of development and competi- tion In that territory.

The sudden abandonment of construc- tion work was followed by the an- nouncement of a working alliance with th« Mellen Interests by Mr. Chamber- lin and Mr. Smithers this week. Grand Trunk ofUdal circles were deeply stir- red, and all energies were directed to repa,lring any injury done to the Grand Trunk'.s standing and credit.

Tlu- result tonight Is that it is believ- ed that financial arrangements linve practlrally been effected with Boston fi- nancial interests whereby the whole Grand Trunk construction policy In New England, including its entrance into BoMon, wlH be provided for Uy tlit* Massachusetts Legislature.

WILMINGTON, N. C. D-'c. 28.— The United States revenue cutter Seminole reafhed port tonight, carrying the^ rescued crew of the American four- masted schooner Savannah, which is hard and fast on I-"rylng Pan Shoal.

To prevent the Savannah from being a floating' derelict and ii menace to com- merce, the stranded vessel may have to be de8troye<l with gun-cotton mines. The Seminole will put back to the Savannah's aid upon belnjf re-coaled, anil an effort vill be made to haul the .schooner into deep water. If the slilp s back is broken, as is feared, and she cannot he saved, t.'apt. Garden of "he Seminole will recommend that the boat lie destroyed.

The year's building figures bear elo- quent testimony to the great growlli of Victoria. When the ttnal returns arc complied by Building Inspector Northcott next Tuesday evening the result will show the magnlllcent in- crease over last year of fully one hun- dred per cent In the value of structures for which permits have been issued for the twelve months.

Yesterday the total passed the eight million mark, the Issue or the permit for the new ten-storey office building to be erected by the British Columbl;i Permanent Loan Company, northeast Corner of .lohnson and Douglas Streets, adding $250,000 to the total. Other permits aggregating in value $14,575 swelled the year's total to the figure or $8,040,000. and In the two remaining days of the year this figure will still be further increased.

The total value of the structures for which permits were Issued during 1911 was $4,026,000. In addition $100,000 was added for additions to buildings for which permits were not required. To the total for the present year ap- proximately $130,000 will be added for structures and additions to buildings not requiring the issuance of permits as, for example, the alterations to the Court House, costing $30.«)00: the ad- ditions to the plant of the Canadian Puget Sound Lumber Company, and other improvements.

Or«»t«r Tlotort»'s Orowtb The total for Greater Victoria last- year was approj^liTiately 16,000,000. This year, with the great impetus In build- ing operations In Oalt Bay. Esquimau and the neighboring portion of South Saanich. the total will be Increased by $2,000,000, over one-half ot which Is made up by Oak Bay. The aggregate for Greater Victoria this year will be well over $10,000,000 a showing which few cities In the Dominion can mako and one wlilch bears eloquent testimony to the great increase In Victoria's prosporlty and progress.

As soon as the necessary materials can be secured work on the new build- ing of the British Columbia Permanent Loan Company will be commenced by the Sound Construction Company, to whom the contract has been let. The structure will be a magnlBcent addition to the already larse number of hand- some blocks adorning the downtown section of the city and will b? hi full compliance with the new building regu- lations which means that it Will be fire- proof in evary particular. The plans have been prepared by Mr. H. S. Orlf- flths, aroliltect.

Other permits Issued yesterday w«r» those to Mr. Wllllan} Scowcroft for a handsome ten-room«d dwelling on Soiithgate Street to cost fl,i>00. the plans of which were prepared by Mr. W. E. Green and the contract for erec- tion ot which has been I«t to Mr. Thomas McArthur; and td' Mrs. Mtna M. White, eight-roomed Aw+UIng on Linden A'renue. to coat |(.0O*.

LONDON. Dec. 28.— While reports of scores of Jives lost and many vessels wrecked In yesterday's gale continue to come In, there was great relief here last night when it was learned that the storm battered P. & O. liner Narrarung, which left here for Sydney, Australia, with 24 8 parssengers, and sent out wire- less appeals tor help on Boxing Day, when in the Bay of Biscay, lias arrived at the Isle of Wight under her own st<em.

Owing to tlie high seas, the White Star liner Baltic from New York with 516 passengers and a great quantity of New Vear'a mail for Queenstown, was unable to approacli that port last even- ing and had to proceed to Liverpool.

The floods have done damage through- out England. At Portsmoutli a wedding party had to be^ conveyed to the church in boats, and the old Sallyport landing- stage used there by Nelson was swept away.

The telegraph lines to Krnnce were otit of commission most of yesterday, but late last night the storm abated and communication was restored. Horwaglan Tasssla Wrackad CHRISTIANlA. Norway, Dec. 28,— Heavy storms, the most severe In a generation, 'continue to rage at South- ern Norwegian ports, and a great num- ber of vessels have been compelled to remain in the harbors,. Several ships have been lost. Wrecks have occurred where those gathered on shore were im- able to give aid to the passengers and crew. Several ships are ri<llng et an- chor at Horten, on the Chrlatianla 5<'jord. They have been unable to sail for a month.

It Is expected that the heavy snow- fall today Will put an end to the 8eri«a of storm*.

LONDON, Dec. 21— The question of danger to the stability of St. Paul's Ca- thoJral. which has agiUted the minds of I^ndonera for many years, has been roopenod by a proposal which, if Car- ried out, would be. according to Mr. Morvln McArtney, the architect of the catticdral, the most serious peril that hab. evor threatened this magnificent structure.

The London Council, in the face of repeated warnings, has pushf^d forward a scheme to build an underground tram- way close to the structure. It has al- ready bought a block of buildings near the cathedral at cost of ♦1,500,0*0 for the purpojie of starting the eubway.^and will, If woceaaary. bor« to the depth of twrinty-onis feel, only four foet above the actual foundation of the cathedral, and ohly sixty feet from the east end. which Is the weakest part of the edifice.

Mr. McArtney, In an interview on the subject, says: "Tunnels or excavating work Of a,ny kind will tend to disturb the water lodged In the subsoil and drain It off. Only •© long as the aub- solf rwoMkna uftaffepted will the safety of tho biMWlng be^ertaln. The draining Of the subnoll h«a been pointed out by >xp«rt after experfe Longman spoke of it Ilk ltt« and Penrose In 1894."

VALDHZ.

Action will be taken in the courta to prevent camps outside using the ritual or name of the Arctic Brotherhood.

Mutterlngs against the alleged viola- tion of the conatitutlon of the Brother- hood began In the fall of 1»09, when President Taft, on a visit to the Seattle world's fair, was initiated into the order with public ceremonies, and elected A past chief offlccT. It was contend** that a person who Had never lived In Alaska or Yukon territory could not be a memljer. Afterward, It Is alleged, camps were formed indiscriminately In the Coast cities.

IjONDOX, Dec. 28, — The brief aessir; t of the Peace Conference today brough;' the Balkan delegatoa to their feel i i protest agaln.1t the counter-proposal i put forward by Rechad Pasha in behal ' of the Ottoman Government. Turkey'.* maximum demands are considered very sweeping, and when adjournment was taken to Monday afternoon it was e\ 1- dent that the Turks must lower their demands greatly or consent to negotiate on a basis of terms proposed by the Allies.

If they attempt to stand by their gun^ or resort to strategy, the Allies may break the negotiations. It is considered not improlMiblo that Turkey desires this, with tho hope of intervention by tha Powers, which would lead to a Euro- pean conference of mediation. The plen- ipotentiaries then could say to the Mus- sulman world that they yielded to the pressure of all Europe.

The Allies do riot object to the ac- ' ceptanco of mediation, if It is under- j stood that the mediators must resp-. ct the territorial acquieltions resulting ' from the war. Americans who wit- j nossed the Russo-Japanese negotiations < at Portsmouth, wKea "the tilffldulty of in- ducing Russia to renounce Korea, Port! 'Arthur •nd Dalny and divide SagUallon Island seemed Insurmountable, will not be surprised at what is oecurrtng in London.

General Gniics the former 8*r«laft Minister of War. who was chosen seoretaty, read the min- utes of last meeting Rechad Pasha then arose and calmly unfolded the document, j saying that he had the honor to notify j the delegates of tho proposals of hisj Imperial Government for concluding; peace. He read tho terms, which were! as follows: ,

"First — Tho province of Adrlanople to , remain under the direct admlnletratlon ' of Turkey.'^

Second— Macedonia to be convel-ted into a principality with Salonika as Its capital. The principality to be under | the suaerainty of l^ho Sultan of Turkey j but governed by a prince choaen by the Balkan Allies and nominated by thej Sultan of Turkey. The prince to be' a Protestant and form a neittral atate. '

Third — Albania to be autonomous under the aoverolgnty of the Sultan t and governed by a prince of the Impe- rial Ottoman - family, who la to be chosen for a term of flyo yeara with the posaibillty of a renewal of the ap- polntment. i

Fourth— All the islands of the Aegeaai Sea to remain Turkish.

Fifth— The Cratan auaatloti not to bej one for th* dlaeuaalon of the Confir- ©nce. as it la a m«tter between Turkey j and th* great Buropaan powera."

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.. Dec. 28.— The I'nlted States Government with stem and decisive swiftness today took into Us posses.sloii tlility-elslu union laboi' offlilals convicted of conspiracy, of pro- moting explosion.^ on non-union A-ork throughout the land, of aldlnj in tho destruction which brought loss of life in hos Angeles, Ctillfornla, and of car- rying on a "reign of terror"" declared to be unparalleled .In the history of the country.

.\lmo,st the entire executive staff ot the International Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers was con- victed. Only two officers of this union now remain out of Jail. At the head of the list of these convicted stands Frank M. Uyaii, the president.

1 1 was of this union of 12,000 tneni- bers that John J. MtNanmra was sec- re tairy-trea.surer, while he conducted the flynami tings uut of which the present ron\ ictlon.s grew.

Herman G. Self fort, Mil v,aukir.. aiiu Daniel Buckley, of Davenport, la . wn the two acquitted.

Origin of Indlctmenta Today's convictions, comina on a seali unprecedented In a federal court, were an aftermath of the killing of twenty-onp personK in the blowing up of the L.OS Angeles Times Building on Octobeir I, 1910. McNaniara and his brother James B., three times dyna- miter, are convicts in California. Hyan and his fellow ofticlals, former assocl- ateu of McNamara. are federal prison- ers here awaiting sentence.

Two of the L'OnvictMl wc«rc not af- miated with the Iron Workers' Union, but they were found guilty of Joining with the union officials In promoting the conspiracy. One of these is Olaf A. Tvoi«mf>«>_ of *?»" VrancUro. «. recotrnlz- ed labor leader on the Pacific Coast, the testimony against whom was that he aided In causing explosions in Los Angeles, 'vrole letters about them and referred to them as "Christmas pres- ent.'?," after the fatal explosion in Loa Angelc.x, and that he aided in conceal- ing evidence wanted in California. He l.s secretary of the California Building Trades Council.

Hrani R. Kline, of Munsle, member of another union, convicted, was formerly an organiacr for the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners In Detroit The result of the Los Angeles explos- ion came in the conviction of J. E. Mun- se^■, who was charge<i by the Govern- ment with harboring James B. McNam- ara for two weeks in Salt l/ake rity, while that dynamiter was fleeing from the scene of his crime.

lafo of conapiraoy Many ot those convicted were charged with knowing only of local explosions on the work of contractors who refused to recognize the union, but. were thus brought into the general conspiracy. J. T. Butler, the vice-president of the union, tugene A. Clancey, Frank C. Webb, Michael J. Young. Philip A. Cool- ey, H. I.. Legleltner, and Charles N. Beum, were all convicted as having ap- propriated out of the union's funds $1,000 a month with which McNamara was paid for explosions.

Herbert S. Hockln. who resigned as secretary of the union only a few- weeks ago, who was branded as the "lago of the conspiracy" in having helped to instigate the plots and em- ploying Ortle K. McManigal to carry them out, while afterwwrds betraying fellows to promote his own inter-

Tho Tmpartment of Hallways will probably call for tenders from onglneers for plana and estimates, on a competitive basis, and whilst rhls nood not take very long, there is a pos- sibility that there will be delay in ob- taining the noccssary iron and steel, all the bri.lge companies In the Bast being now filled to capacity with orders for many months ahead. But o\'on thin may not mean delay, because It will take some time to got the approaches ready and the framowork of the bridge will not bo needed until that work is done."

BT PETERSBITRG, Doc. 28. --A sijlit in the Russian Orthodox Clinrch i.s threatened through the unfrocklnk of the monk Mcllodorus by the Holy Hynod. Helldodorus caused a sensation a f6»w days ago by announcing his withdrawal from the Orthodox Ch'arch. Now his followers, to the number of 8000, have notified the Holy Synod of their inti-'n- tion to quit the Orthodox Church, ,ind of suing the Holy Synod for $25(),0()0 in the event of the synod turning tho t.'hurch of Hollodorus at Tsaritsyn, in Uw Province of Snratox, which was built by the people, into a convent or a hospital.

Disciple.'? of IJoliodorus today sent a telegram to the Octchrlst member.? of the Douma domanding a public trial foi- Hcliodor\is, and denouncing the "profan- ation of the House of God" by t!ie pol- ice when tliey entered the church at Tsurlt.^yn.

press, being lost, ho proposed a special tribune for the Journalists in the hall of S. James. He dllatfd on the im- possibility of dealing with the Turkish demands.

Rechad Pasha interrupted to ask why Dr. Daneff answered that he would not even enter Into the merits of the nues- tion of the Ottoman claims being pre- posterous.

M. MiyuBkovltch, the Montenegrin delegate, remarked that Turkey had •not even respected the decision of the Powers. It had been agreed by the Ambassadors' Conference that Albania should bo autonomous under only the susseralnUv of the Sultan, with a ruling prince from the Sultan's family.

M. Madbaroff, the Bulgarian minister at London, declared that the whole pro- cednri^ was wrong. He pointed out that aa the Allies had presented their terms, Turkey should have offered real conn tor- proposals, that Is. raal changes, altera- tions or refusals, and should not have Ignored them, to present a totally dif- ferent scheme.

Premier Venlaselos asked, for the sake of historic ciirloslty, that cople.s of the document which Rechad Paaha had read, be given to delegates, and the sitting waa suspended while tho secretaries made copies. When the sitting was re- sumed the Turkish delegates delivered a copy to each delegate.

ynrtli*r Argiunaat

Rechad Pasha, In reopening. ex- pounded what evidently was the main argvimcnt of Turkey in spite of her claims. He said the Powers, since the beginning of the troubl«fa with the Bal- kan States, had daelared that In . case of a conflict, whatever its results, no- body would gain from Itf the Powers being determined to maintain the status quo.

t>r. Dnnaff retorted: "But you forget that after the war «U the premiers of tha Powera recognised that the , stattis QUO w»k ended, and that it wtts Im- posBlbla to continue a policy baiied-on Its mftlnt«n*ne«." j-

The expectation that next soason the United States would kill Beale.on the Prlbyloff Islands, ,ln which event the Dominion of Canada would be interested to the extent of fl'teen pej cent of the value brought by the pelts on account of the treaty entered Into last December for the abolition of pelagic sealing for fltfeen years, was borne o\it by a Wash- ington dispatch published ye.storday morning. This gave the Information that Dr. Starr Jordan, of Stanford Uni- versity, wlio ha.s posed as an authority on seal life, and Mr. George A. Clark, of the United States Bureau of Fish- eries, have urgod the repeal of the act passed at AVashlngton in which the spirit of the treaty was violated, for the suspension of killing on the Prlby- loff rookeries for five years. Japan reciiritly threatened to repudiate the treaty, in which Canada, Japan, Uussla and the United States arc interested, if the act suspending the land lU 111 tm for five years was not repealed.

Oraat Xiocal Xndastry IJnder The terms of the treaty ft was provided that |10,000 a year vvas to be paid to Canada and a slml'.ar amount to Japan In any year that kll'lpg was suspended on the seal Islands, but fins amount is a meagre sum in comparison i\lth that which Canada and Japan will dciive, because the sealers of the two countries built up an industry of seal- killing at sea. In Canada the industry was confined to Victoria. The Victoria Sealing Company, which until a year or two ago practically Included every schooner in the business — five inde- pendent schooners have also been sent out during the pa.st few years— car- ried on the Industry under grave re- strictions, .-"Ince the unfair regulations following the Paris Award were brought into effect many years ago. and, de- spite the hardships, the industry de- veloped to such an extent that Canada was given ii» rigiil t" Suar<= In t...- rookeries of the .North Pac'fic Ocean, all outside the territory of the Donii'i- ion. It was due alone to th.? enterprise and Industry of these soalers of VI -tor. a that the Canadian Government dbtatne.! the right to share In the herds, a share which conservative experts estimate will net the Dominion Government at least five — probably many more — mU- ItOn dollars.

Last year, the first year that the pel- agic sealers have not gone from Vic- toria and Japan, the seals of the Pri- byloff Islands increa.«od over 88,000 in nvlmber— the estimate made by Prof. 1-r. W"". Elliott was that the Increase In the first year would he about 27,000. The females alone Increased over 34,000. In their report Professor .lordanand Mr Clark hold that suspension of land klling is entirely unnecessary, main- taining that pelagic sealing alone was responsible for the decline of the herds, and now that pelagic seating is stopped by reason of the treaty, land killing should be carried on each year. In 1910 the number of seals killed by the United States Government on the Pri- byloffs was about 12, .500. At the rale of 15 per cent, Canada's share, at the price then paid for skins, would have boon J5B,000. There were, according to the census made by the United Slates officials, 145,195 seals on the Islands then. AVith increases In 1!>11 and a further increase of 88,000 during this year, there are nearly double that number now^ and approximately from 25,000 to 30,000 seals could be safely killed during the coming season, and In- creasing numbers with every succeed- ing year. "With the advancing price of pelts, Ca,nada should receive over 1150,- 000 as the Dominion's share of the proceeds of the kllUng during the first year, and probably from 1200,000 to $250,000 the succeeding year, with ever IncreaBlng amounts during the term of the life of the treaty, which was made for fifteen years, and will probably be renewed then.

Koptnff for Coinmla«ioix The aealers of Victoria have placed Canada in a position to secure quite an addition to the revenue of the rJomln- lon, and the only shadow of right the country has to receive the share la be- cause of the Industry built up by the sealers of Victoria. These latter are now awaiting componaatlon from the Government, seeking a return of the^ capital invested by them In the Induatfy from which they have been driven, to the greet advantage of the Dominion as a Whole, but with heavy loss to them- ■elves. *

The sealers are hopeful that ere long a commission will bo appointed to hear their case, and they anticipate that when a 'Kearlng Is given them their claims will be paid. The total claims win represent a very meagre portion of the revenue which will atjcrue to the Domjlnion of Canada from the Prlbyloff Island rooicerieB alone, without conside- ration of the Japanese and Russian rookerias, In which Canada will alao re- ceive A flhar«.

THE TEBaSIKAX. FULNS

We print tho Tuimlnal PlanM fnls inorninff. They tell tlielr own story, nnd tills la supplomented 'by th''" vt'i'y excellent cle.scriiulnn for which wc are Indebted to Mr. Lewis, the resident en- gineer of tlK! Canadian Northern Fa- clflc Railway Company. The plans wlU '. well repay study and tho moro they ' are examined the better the arrangL- : ment will be appreciated. We think it ' desirable ^0 jncntlon that thiis plan Is

macl« the statement that Canada ahould have fleet units of her own on eltiier CoHBt, but he liaH given no Inkllnj; of how It is possible ti> achloyc ^uc•h a reiiuU. Me has s^d nothlTigr About the establlslinient of shlpbuildlnff .vji'<1s, of steel Industries, of arsenals, .'f the manner In which men may be recrultetl. Theae thlnKs may be to him a inr.tter of mere detail but according to our way of thlnkinir they constitute the whole crux of the situation. He, w^'>n In power, showed no aptitude for deiSlni; with such "detail's," and from tht.H ft>cl It Iti safe to assume that hl.s pollv'V a? regards the present Naval Bill lontlnues to be one of opportunism.

Among the very great mujority of Canudlanii we bolleve that the /Icfire exhsts to give some alil, not only of an effective character, but iiuiiiedlately, Iti the defenceti of the lOmplre. This Is ii que.«tlon with which there lias licen loo j much dallylnif. We ourselves, and, wts I liellfT'.-e, the people of this country, are willing 10 m-cept the advice of the Admiralty at the present Juncture, for \v(' have had reason to trust this board in til', past. What Is wanted now Is to provide for the existing emergency, lehvlng to the future the evolutiunOi a permanent naval policy which will bat'.cl np, on a sound and substantial basis, something worth while, conso-'ant wU!i the dignity of the Dominion, and In lln » with the strategic iwUey of the

intended only to show how the Reserve Is to be divided, and tiie railway plans as far us they have been developed. In respect to the Canadian Northern I'aclflc, the plans as shown are sub- «tantlally tlnal. The Cai\adian . Pa-

cific has yet to announce its t.Tack- Hse on the area set aside for the lO.s- quimalt nnd Nanairao Railway. It Is not to " be Inferred from the published plan that neither of the companies has In contemplation terminal arrangements outside of the limits of the Reserve. "Whatever tiieso may be, they are not Kcrmane to the settlement which the Government has been instrumental In ac- iHimpllsiilng. What furth-er provisions these companies may contemplate for the convenient handling of traffic la something which they themselves must determine and with which the Provincial Government will have nothing to do, except to pass upon them when they liave been ^urmlned upon by the com- panies. The plan published does not show any provisioji for a bridge to L.aurel Point, but. as we have already explained, the trackage can bo made conformable to such a structure, either from the 8-foot or the 34-foot level.

An Interesting feature of the location of the railway line.? is the new street to ICaqulmalt, which will be so located as to avoid the new trackage. To very many people this will seem one of tho most valuable results reached In the detailed working out of the plans.

The arrangement admits of develop- ment and extension of terminal facili- ties almost to an unlimited extent. .Ml the harbor to be created by the break- water and all the great shore line we.st of the Reserve and extending a.s far as may be dc-slrable will be acoosaibla from these terminals. It may bo added that the Canadian Northern Paclftc",=i plans as they have been disclosed pro- . vide for the entry of the line Into tlie city and for a connection with the 'Hne to tlic ■\\"fst Coast in what will un- <ioubtedly be the i|ulckefa i)osslbk' way. Whatever may develop in tiie future, the line aromid tiic head of Portage Inlet would be essential to relieve the congestion of trafflc that would otherwise certainly occur along the waterfront. The terminal ar- rangements have only been readied- af- ter great labor, but we arc confident that they will prove in the highest de- gree satisfactory. Great as they are. they are only a beginning of wliat is to be.

It Is stated tliat as a result of a conference of l-lberal leaders at Mon- treal that the Opposition Is determined to block the Naval I511I. and that it is hoped to force a dlssoluthni before the end "of next summer. We big leave to disbelieve this report, Sir Wilfrid Laurler iB not in -Montreal and It \n very unlikely that any such decision would have been readied at any confer- ence where he was not present. The Literal leader and his colieaguea may be sincere In their belief that the mathods of naval defence proposed by Mr. Borden on an ooctwiion of emerg- ency are not the right ones. We can it«;arcely credit the belief, however, that th»y sre striving to make the question of national security a party issue. It l« perfectly legitimate to define a policy and Ao stite what this, that, or the other ruMi may think Is the best thing

All Canadians will join In sincere con- gratulations to Sir Mackenzie Bowell. who colobrated his 89th birthday by working at his editorial desk yesterday. .Sir Mackenxio is a fine sample of man- liood. .simple and unaffected, yet dig- nified withal, ho wears the snowy gar- land of his years as becomes one who iias ll\ed a life of honest end.'.av<ir. In whatever station his lot lias-bcon cast he- has exhibited tlioMo nuallties which mako a man useful to hl.s day anil gen- eration and command tho ' affectionate esteem of all .who have the honor of his friendship. \\ e wish iiim many happy returns of the anniversary. ' It has been given to fow men to enter thoir ninetieth year with their pen in hand, discharging, with the wisdom wliicli comes with age, the duty of guiding; public opinion.

THE TBIFi:.E AXiI^IAHOE

The Triple Alliance was renewed a few months ago, and the usual felicita- tions were oftlclally Indulged in b.v the representatives of tho several govern- ments. But even the casual ubsw^rver of events cannot have failed to reallJ-.e that the Triple Alliance in 1!»13 will be sometliing v^-ry differtnt in fact from wliat It was In ]88;i, wln-n it was IVsl formed, even though .-xlernally it may .seem to be the same thing. The Al- liance was formeil in tlie first instance Ijecause of the apparent preponderance of Germany In the affairs of conti- nental I'^urope, and tliere is little d<:ubt that tile object of Bismarck, its found- er, was to bring about German hege- ipony in Europe. l''or this purpose It was necessary to laolate Fiancf, and this was very effectually accomplished. But German supremacy did not follow, that is not such a supremacy as is Im- plied in the word hegemony. Mad tha Kals<-r permitted the. Iron Chancellor to complete his work his counti-y miglil Uavebecom;- the arbltiT of tlie destinies of Kurope; but wlion the inastei's hiiiiii was removed the great political ma- chine made a course for lt.-<elf. Austria- Hungary and Italy have gained more from the Alliance than has Germany. They have greatly Increased In power and Influence, wher»n« Germany lia.s not maintained relatively the place she occupl-ed at the close of the war with 1" ranee. Italy felt strong enough to resist the wishes of her northern ally, and Invaded Tripoli. Austria-Hungary annexed Bosnia and the Dalmatian Coast, whereby her »<aboard hoa been extended for fully two-thirds the length of the Adriatic and she nas be- come a maritime nation. Meanwhile Germany has had to be content witli "rattling the sabre," expending millions upon millions in making herself strong and gaining not even prestige by tho process. In recent years it has been the aim <*f Gerpian statesmen to estab- lish a species of control over Turkey In the hope that a German sphere of Influence might be extended, not only as far as Constantinople, but oven tho Persian Gulf. The Turkish army was trained by German officers and sup- plied with German guns. Wo have seen the result.

It does not Bcem to have occurred to the Kal»er or his Ministers that their allies might have ambitions of their own, or that the Balkan prlnel- ■ palltles might be unwlUliNl to be only pawns in the gani« of International chess. Kven when l^noe pii^dinand at Bulgarin proclaim*;!^ hlmsitrjr a Tsar, Oermany d6es lio^- «i^p««r ' tc ba«o thought tii« acttoin meant anything of ttnportaaec.

fedfracy. If not an empire, that will ef- fectually block all German designs In Southeastern Kurope and Southwestern Asia.

It will have been observed that It Is .Uistrla-Hungary, whl<,h Is now "rat- tling the sword. " There is -not the least reason for supposing the Kaiser to be otherwise than sincere In his expres- sions of a desire to promote peace. Ir- respective of the evidence of his policy, since the lime when he deposed Bis- marck, which bus always been peace- ful, the Kaiser must realize that Ger- many has nothing to gain by a war over thc<italkan cjucstiop. Germany has been BhuUlng the lit^'.- in pas\ years and the other members of the Triple Alliance, have been gathering the fruit, and tho statesmen of that country do not need to be told that. If the shaking procesd is to be renewed, the fruit will be gath- ered by Austria and tlie Balkan allies.

The Object of this article Is not tu make atiy prognostications as to tin future. The season is not favorable to political prophets. We are only pre- sentltig some aspects of tha situation in Europe as far as they affect tho Triple Alliance. These s. cm to show that the political fabric, rean-d by Bis- marck with such labor ajid cemented, to use hia own words, "by blood and iron," Is abotit to crumble to pieces.

The waning power of the Sultan sug- gests that the inlluence of Islam may also l)e on the wane, but this is a con- ci\)sii_'n thai. ina\ «.i!- jittt.N rujt b^ wai*- rantod liy the facts. It is far too soon to talk of finality in connection wltii the ieli).;iuu founded by the great Arabian. Wc are accustomed to think of the in- fluence of thr. Moslem world as being largsly for r, :;. Wc think of the Turk as representing it, and we all know he has not many friends in the court of Christendom. lie is ' unspeaitable." Thai he deserves a good deal of lil's bad reputation may be conceded; but .Mr. .Marmaduke I'ecktall, writing in The Xnuiteonih Cuntury, cixprossly denies that the Turks have ever persccutea Cliristians for their faith. He says the atrocltliis coiTiinitU-d liaw always beon by way of revenge for real or fancied injustice (lone them by Christians with- in Turkey or their friends in other coun- tries. If thore have beon massacres of Christians during the Balkan war, It is only fair to remember the 'appeal of i-"erd'itmrid Of Bulgaria was that tiic ciirlKtlan peoples of the allied stales should rise and drive the Crescent out of Ihiropo • an-i . ■ i tho Cross in its stead.

Hut whatever room there can bo for difference of opinion on thi;. point, tlier-;- can be nono whatevor as to the l.utcl- lectual Influence of the Moslem world, its sclKdart- gave us algebra and laid tho foundations of chemistry. Its civil- ization gave the impetus to Europe that tcsulted in the Honaissance.

'I'here i,s ;U,sn no do\ibt at all that vn;y mur'li of the success that has at- Ivndod British rule In India lias beon due to tlie favorable inlluence exerted Uy the Moliammedsn princes of that country. Whether or not tlie people, who hold to the faith of Islam, would have been bottT If they had embraced ClirlFtianity, must remain an unan- swered (lueslluu. Its aiiiiwer Is not sim- plified by oxaminatlnn of the Christian people within Mohammedan countries. If we could look at the Armenians with unprejudiced eyes and compare them with their Mohammedan neighbors, we might not find all the points of dlffor- cnca to be In favor of the former.

Let us loarn to be fair to Islam If It Is dying, v/hicli we veiy greatly doubt, we ouglit not to forgot the good it has done and remombor only the olvl; if it is to continue es an Influence upon the minds of man, we wijl be wise if we ondaavor to regard It' with as little prejudice as possible. Doubtless from tho point of view of thw Moslem, tho Cliristlan is as objectionable or lie i.-? to us. Tho good that Is In both of us, is very closely akin.

If you were asked to point out the luiimtry whore women have the largest moasuro of rights and influence, tho chances are that you would select some una of the .states of the American Union which has a(loi)tcd the nowest fad In legislation. Bui that is where you would be wrong. If you are seeliing tiio country whore women have tho lilghc'St social status, you must go to ciiiuu. Wlicii a Chlnose woman becomes a widow slie bocomes the head of tho family. * If hor son marrlo.s and brings homo his brid4, the mother is not . told that tdic nriust abandon her homo to give plaeo tn it^ ^^^ mistress but she remains i .i of the houso-

I'.old, and tho bride simply bocomes, so far ■ as Uomostlo arrangements are con- cerned, a da\ighter. If a Chinaman is appolntei I e dignities and

insignia o) uio i^osi belong to his wife of right, and not merely of courtosy. That would be much as if in Canada, when a man is appointed a Senator, or a Federal Cabinet Minister, his wife would have tho righl to be call.d Hon- orable during her life. A v.-liine8e mother has almost absolute control over her children so far as any right of their falhor to Intorfero wiih th.ir education or discipline is concerneil. They have ovory civil right that a man ha.s. it is cu.stom only that cau.ses them to live lives of sGciuslon. If a woman cliooses to aspire to bo President or Prime Min- ister, there is no 1-jvv to iu-ev, nt hei- from aceomi'lisliing lier ambition.

■nggssts a rablie Xgsetlng

Sir — May 1 venture a suggestion? The naval question Is of vital interest to Victoria and to British Columbia. Mr. Barnard is bore during recess, and the Naval Bill is before Parliament. We have had Naval L«mgue meetings with cut-and-driod resolutions, but with no op'portiinlty, much less invitation, to have tho Indopendont thouKbt on this quostlon prosonted. Let the Federal member call a public meeting to get the true voice of the people. Let us hear the political leaders reconcile their former doclarationa ar.d their present attitude. Lot us get all shades of opin- ion and then put tho tiuestioij to the o\onii>r>f of Victoria. I suggest twenty minutes for eacli speakor. If they rec- ognize tho fact that wo are all equally loyal Brlllshors and true Canadians of the Empiro, and so cut adrift from flag emotionalism wlilch, as designed to Im- pute a want of patriotism In ihe oppon- ent, Is simply insulting and is ossen- llally a I'harlsee trick, twenty minutes is amplo to presont the facts and the argumont. Let tne propose as speakers, Mr. Barnard, as Federal mombor; Mr. McBrlde, as Govornmont loader In B. C. ; Mr. ^Voollfiy or Mr. Biakomore, for tho N'avy League; Mr. Brewslor, for tho Li bnral party, and a renresontatlve of the labor and wago-earnlng electo- mto, and an e.xtra half hour for open discussion.

Sir— I think, Sir, it is time some at- tention wore callod to the disgraceful lack of order maintninod at the gallery entrance of the Victoria Theatre on sliow nights. Is it no'jessary for some woman or child to be trampled down, or stiriod, boforo the authorities wake up to a realization of thoir responsi- bilities?

At the theatre entrance on Douglas Street, ihoro Is a brave show of i)0llce when tlie wolt-drnssed crowd throngs the entrance, but in t'no dark alley at tho back, it is one wild stampede when the doors are opened, and the only rea- .son thero has not been ."ome serious accident in the past is that people who were not up to a Rugby scrimmage novo;' usod the gallery.

1 believo it is usuai for a poiiceoittn to arrive in tho gallory shortly after 8:30, to koop order and, incidentally, to see the show; but what I would like to know Is. why can't bo come a little oarllor ar.d bo useful as well a-i ornamental?

'I'lurre is a oolite fiction that a Vic- toria crowd is an orderly one, but the crowd In the alle;- wlien the gallery doors ar^ op<ined is a personification of "Hooligonlsm."

It is surprising how unwilling or un- able certain writers for tlie British press are to underslaiui tlu- action of the Canadian jieopie. We have recently read the statement that reciprocity ' was defeated because the Canadian people hoped for a preference in tlie markets of the United Kingdom. Every Canadian knows that such an argument was never mentioned duiin'< tlie whole cam- paign, either in Parliament or at pub- lic meetings. No newspaper ever ad- vanced anyiliing .so absurd. Wliat use- ful purpo.se does any one expect to serve by so misrepresenting the facts? A Bpcviul OoUimlSalvliri Brut uul by a London dally to write up the Canadian viewpoint on a qu-cstlon In British poli- tics, frankly admitted to The Colonist that he did not intend to tell the truth, for he said "that would never do."

If you wish to soo a collection of fine specimens of humanity, tako a ride in a Victoria tram-car In which there are a lot of sklllod mechanics returning from work. Wo might say when they are going to work, but the most of you arc not out of bod then. You will sco vlg- orou.s manhood illuminated by an Inher- ent consciousness of ability to do thing."; You will soo fac€:8, albeit you may won- der what any man can do that will make his face so begrimed, which show keenness of outlook, Indopondence of thought and abundance of courage. If you do not know that this Is so, and if you do not realize what it Jigniflas, you have a gr^t deal yot to learn about the things which will go to ostablish Aocial conditions in the years that are to oomo. Ths knowledge, when you got Iti will convince yon that this )s ai ara of transition.

m»» InM awtion ot tba H' V. K. line

Flcaauvs liasorts. Sir — In view of tho fact that a prop- erty on the West Coast of Vancouver Island which we, as a firm, are offer- ing to the iiuhlic as a pleasure resort, has been attacked editorially in a local M-eokly; and, in view of the fact that wo are accused of having permitted our- selves to bo imposed ujKin by an un- scrupulous promoter, wti respectfully ask you to allow us .space in your valu- ablo columns in wiilch to reply.

In offering Ilia property in question as a ploasuro resort we are acting In per- fect good faith, with our eyes wide open nml after careful invostlgalion. Every stalamant we aro making In our adver- lisonionts is backed by our reputation and standing as a firm. Nothing has been stated that is impossible. Not only can this property bo developed as we stato; 11 will be — and within three x-oars.

The fact Is. sir. over since we first announced the rather Important and ex- tenslvo plans regarding this resort we have met with bittor criticism from tliat SO" Hon of Victoria which was chleny responsible for the capital city's long period of letlinrgy; we have been told that the work we propose»d to do was impossible, that we were dreamers, etc. Howc\er, wo put this down to the usual, although unfortunate, spirit of "knocking" that is too prevalent In , -c- torla even today, and we passed It by. Now, In view of tho fact that direct charge."! have been made In a n»w»p»p*>r, charges which are utterly untrue and harmful, we shall, of course, take the proper sto;Ts to protect ourselves.

Wo have, In the past, b&d opportunity and to spare to engage In "wildcat" I propositions, and It is not our Intention to engage In them now any moro than formerly. When this proposition was first taken up with us we went Into the details thoroughly. At first we were sceptical because at that time our knowledge of the West Coast of this Island was about as general and Incom- plete as that of the author of the attack on us and this property. Two mem- bers of the firm visited the property and lookod It ovor thoroughly besides hear- ing the roport.«i of the head surveyor, Mr. A, I, Robertson. Not only were we convinced of the thorough feasibility of the plan of mr^klng a great Canadian resort on this property; we wero highly enthusiastic over it Afterwards, on various occasions, numerous pottles wore taken to see the property and no'* one of them failed to be Impressed with tho opportunity and delighted with the natural charms of the place.

The article directed against th* re- sort property made use of flgures pur- porting to be the olflctal statistics of precipitation on the W«f<t Goest near this property. Tn reply, permit us to give here the official flgures as wrlften for tis by Mr. K. Baynes Held, for nuny years supertntendont of the Mateorotog- loal Buraau, Victoria, B. C and one of the most oxperlenced meteorolO((Jsta in th« sorvloe, Mr. Reid's flgures aTa oa foilowa, oltaarvmtloiia taken at .Clo-oaaa. near our property: t.xm*. 9AAi July 1.70: Attir^t.

abnormal year for, rain ^and ao the, figure for this season Is really too high for the average rainfall here — likewise the Fall rains very early."

Continuing, sir, we bog leave to state hore that we are not comparing the cli- mate of this resort property with that of Victoria which Is, admittedly, the fln- t»t climate In Canada. In the first place there is no beach near Victoria that is available as a pleasure resort suclr as this we have in hand. We stand' on the sUtement that the climate on the VVest Coast of the Island where our property Is situated Is exccdient for summer re- sort purposes. We assert that the tem- perature Is most desirable and that the rainfall Is certainly not excessive and not such as to Interfere with summer liloasures. On this, point we refer you to the statement of Mr. David Logan for eighteen yoars a rosldeijH of Clo-oose and thoroughly familiar with our prop- erty. He states that "in Summer the sands on the beach often become loo hot to be walked on barefooted." We might go on bringing a variety of proofs but we are trespassing loo much now upon your space.

The attack made upon our property, while it is important to us, also con- corns Victorians as a whole because It is an unwarranted atid untruthful at- tack uiion the whole West Coast of our Island. If what the writer of the arti- cle referred to says Is tnio, of what use Is It to hope for any lasting development of tho West Coast of Vancouver Island? What miiKi Ije the effect' of such iiiln- Icading articles on prospoctive settlers? As to the "nine miles of beach" re- ferred to in our advertisements we rc- iterato that this is true and that it is just as accosslble as tho beach of any American- jsunmier jrcaort. rnont that "the sea-front consists almost entirely of high cliffs" Is absolutely and wholly untrue. Golf links will be laid out on the property on a natural piece of ground that especially lends It- f.dlf to such a course. Every lot sold in tills resort is positively guaranteed to be a good building lot.

As to tho statement that this prop- ert.v "cannot be surveyed," wo brand that as merclj- childish on the face of It. 'A force of fifteen survteyors is at work on the property now carrying out the prolimlnary surveys and this force will be augmented from time to time as the work proceeds.

The opinion of one purchaser of lots In this property may bo given here Mr. E. L. T. Taylor, of Calgary, late of Lon- don, Eng., wont to see the propertj- in the month of Dece-nber as he was not wiiOiiy cunviiicod. He wuk uccoiiipttiilcd by a Mr. Lake, also of Calgary. Before going Mr. Taylor had applied for one lot. He returned delighted with the property and since that flme he and Mr. Lake applied for a total of ten' lots in tho property and two blocks of acre- age adjacent.

In conclusion we may state that everything connected with this resort property is fair and square and above- board. We realize that it is a big un- dertaking but wo are more than san- guine of Its success. The capital be- hind this project is ample for all pur- poses and we state again that positively ovory improvement promised in connec- tion with this resort will be carried out. The statement that we are arranging to place this on tho London market is un- true because we have never considered such a step in view of the fact that we expect to sell every lot we wish to part with right in Canada. VV'e have not offered this property extensively as yet, but, despite that fact, more thah $30,000 worth of it has been applied for alread.v and wo have received many in- quiries from applicants as to when they may begin building.

What this resort will mean to Van- couver Island may be surmised In view of tho fact that it will assuredly at- tract .many people who would not likely come otherwise; It will be a support to Victoria in that it will provide another link in the splendid chain of Island points worth visiting now being welded with such other links as Strathcona Park, otc. The water route to this re- sort property of ours will be the least- used of all. The South Coast motor road In continuation of the present (.)tter I'oint Road, the surveys for which are already under way, will be continued via Port Renfrew, to meet the existing Dominion Government trail which ha.i lieen" built from Bamfleld to Carmanah and In tho development of the Govern- ment's West Coast motor road excellent access will be hod to the resort prop- erty. Other means of access will be by connection with the C. N. R. at Nltlnat Lake, which the owners of the resort will provide for.

Sir Howard was 77. years of age, and had a record of nearly forty years service. Entering the Royal Siarlne Light In- fantry In 1858. on the eve Of the Crimean War, his first active employ- ment was In th-e Baltic Kxpedltion, un- der Sir Charles NajJier, In 18B6, for which he received the medal. From 1867 to 18<1 Sir Howard; was en-gaged on special service In determining the boundary between the United States and Jritish North America. During that period he commanded a force of Boyal Marines, whjch w^as employed In quell- ing .rlot« and restoring order among the gold miners at Ports Hope and Yale, on the Fraser RlTOr, In British Colum- bia.

They were happ.V rhlldren wtio flHcd the extempori/.eri Kallory hi the I'rotos- tani Oi-pliHna::o yesterrlay afternoon to rrcelve tlieir t-ifts from the Chrl.«itmn3 Trr.? anil to sIhk and recitP for their good friends, the ladles of the commtt- tee. the president. Mr. Charles Hay- ward, riev. \y. 1^. I'hiy and a room full of visitors. All the children, from the dozen or more babies of two or three C'hristmases. seated on the lowest steps, 10 the \ng Klrls and hoys in the highest Heats, were u? good as gold, and rosy cheeks and shining eye.>ii told of happy expectation. Xo wonder they were de- liglited. Surely never before was there auch a heauilful Christmas Tree or such a store of presents.

Mr. Charles Hayward, looking a.<^ hiipny as the children, presided, as he has done, at such galherinss, for nearly thiriy years. Mr. Pollard, the instructor of sinslnK in the public schools, had trained the pupils, and his labor of love was appreciated by them, for their .singing was excellent. The recitations :(nr1 rllfilnpriioF too, wpre iinnsunlly w»-i'.

Mrs. T'embtrton Ka.ve to each of the children a Coronation medal. These had been delayed on the way, that lady said, but she hoped they would still serve as a reminder of the duty each boy or girl owed His Majesty, Klnij George

Rev. W. L. Clay, at the reiiue.sl of Mr. Hayward, made a very short speech full of good wishes and fatherly advice. The president, In the name of the children and of the committee, thanked Miss Raper and a little hand of work- ers from Oak Bay for the lielp they had extended to the Orphanajje. It was Iiarncd afterwards that Miss ttaper wa.« leader of a sewing clas.s Ihnt met nn Saturday mornlnprs and who by dispos- ing of their needlework had been able to treat the little one; on more than one occasion.

Prize* Dlatrlbated Sim. Kaye, the matron, decided that the prizes to be given to the best chil- dren were due to Cecil Morgan, Betty Martin ami Patricia Hamilton Smith. Mrs. McTavish, president of the ladles' committee, then havlns said she and her fellow workers valued very highly the .services of -Mrs. Kaye, Miss MorsH and Miss Chalmer.s, Mr. T^ayward be- stowed uix)n each a special mark of ap- preciation which was evidently a com- jiUMe surprise.

i;,n h of the flfty-nlne children then rt'ccived a gift of imif h dollar for his or her very own from the h.and? of Mr. Ilayward, acting for I.eeming Brothers. This, the older children appreciated, but the little folks were more delighted with the presents from the tree. In- deed, there were two of these. For no sooner was the big tree stripped than Mr. I^eonard Tait came forward, on 'be- half of the Ladles Benevolent Orange Association, and from a smaller tree took useful presents of many sorts which the Rood ladies had provided for small people who In the New Year would wear out stockings, soli hntr rib- bons and lose handkerchiefs. The chil- dren were then allowed to go to their playroom while the guests were Invited to tea. Two or three of these, how- ever, fo'.low'ed the boys and girls and the prettiest sight of the day was their admiration of their treasures. It was easy to .«ee those had been .S'Clected with care an<l were specially intended for those who received them, for from the lad with a Boys' Own to the little maiden w'ho clasped a golden-haired doll, each had Just the thing most coveted.

The ladies of the committee were warm in ilioir praises of the generosity of friends and eagerly told of the splen- did Christmaa dinner that ha<l been pro- vided for ail the children by Mr, and Mrs. W. I-. Morris and Master Roydon MorrLs, of the dollar wliich was the Christmas sift of Mrs. W. C. Todd to each child, and of the huge Christmas stocking, the gift of the City Travelers' Association, reserved for New Year's Day. They said not a word of their own hard work and the thought and time they, wlio take the place of mothers, to these motherless children, give not on one day only, but through- out the year. They, like other mothers, were glad and happy in the Joy of the children, though acime of them have spent many yoars In this service. A Tin* Prorramm* The following Is the children's pro- graiftme:

Mr. H. G. Parson, the chairman. ancH iill the other member.s of the commlH- ^<ion were present and were sworn In . by Mr. Justice Gri^gory. after the com- ini.ssion nomlna tln-(f Ihein had been read. The members wore then Kreeted by the Premier, Sir lllehard McBrlde, who assured them of th* keen interest which the Government took In tlie very ijnpor- tant subjects whle.h they had to Inves- tigate, and expressed hUs .sincere appre- ciation of their p\iblit; spirit in accept- ing the onerous task which the Govern- ment had tendered to them.

At the close of an executive ses.sion. which la.sted over an hour, It was an- nounced that the commission liad talked over its plana and liad drawn up an lnleJ-1m itinerary as follows: Victoria, January 14. and 15; Vanccnuer. January 17 and 18; Ne>V AVestminster, January 20; .Kamloops, January 22: Salmon Arm. January 23; Revelstoke, January 21.

There will he other sittings In Vic- toria, Vancouver and Xew Westmin-ster than tlioee on the dates named above, these meetings being rather of a preparatory character In order to allow the representatives of labor and capital to present i»ubject.s wlilcii they wish to be discussed and to arrange for dates when It will be convenient for the var- ious interests to be represented.

A cordial Invitation Is extended to all persons who have subjects to bring be- fore the C4)minls8l0n to -communicate with the secretary of the oorijml»s1on. Mr. 1-".

A -sport feature that will undoubtedly draw a good attendance on New Year's On/ IS I lie annual soccer match between tlie .Vative Sons ami Old Country elevens, which lias been arran.ged to take place at the lower Beacon HID groujids at 2:30 i'. m

Fire, the origin of wiilrli is a m.vstery. completely destroyed the two-storey dwelling owned by Mr, J. Chisholm. Carlin Street, last night at 9 o'clock, severely ilamaged an adjoining small dwelling and occasioned a total loss of 1 1,500. When the fire department ar- rived at llie scene of the blaze Hie larger dwelling was a mass of flames which were btirsting through wind-jw.s and roof, and the reflection from v.lilch liglited up the whole northern sky, leading people downtown to believe that a serious conflagration was In proffr^fa. The fact that the fire was first no- ticed by a resiaent on Gosworlh Road, neerly half a mile distant from the blazing dwelling, who sent in an alarm from Box B6, near the corner of Oos- worth Road and Hillside Avenue, de- layed the nre brigade greatly in getting to the scene. Carlin Street l« located northeast of Smith's Hill reservoir, and in reaponding to the alarm the de- partment Were unable to see exactly in what direction the blaae was located. The apparatus naturally made for th« box from which the alarm was turned In only to find after arriving there, that It was necessary to turn back along Hillside Avenue and work Its way around Smith's Hill to the apot, A dear run along Quadra Street and thence easterly along Flnlayson, both of which thorSufirh fares are paved, was open to the apparatus but the drivers natur- ally made speed to the spot from whence the alarm was turned in. ■arad saaU BwaUlat It was seen that nothing could be done to sava the larger dwelling and attention was turned - to the small atructure alongside.

The latest designs of the genuine John Brinsmead & vSon.s, London world-famous Pianos may now be seen and purchased in Victoria. -\ consignment of these instruments was received by us recently, and of this number many have already been selected and purchased by some of the leading musical people of X'ictoria.

The Brinsmead Piano has long been recognized throughout the world for its general excellence, and its introduction in Victoria has created a pleasant ex- citement among tho.se who had learned of its arrival here.

Since the forties John Brinsmead has been widely known as the "Father of the Pianoforte Trade"— an appellation earned by his genius and strenuous labors,* willingly accorded him as a rightful due by all who knew his work, and to the end of his days worthily maintained as a proud honor.

With scarce an exception, all the distinguishing features of the modern Piano — an instrument as near perfection as may be achieved by mortals — are those which his ' intuitive genius conceived, his mind evolved into the practical, and his knowledge and su- preme craftsmanship produced and perfected in thC' concrete. The innumerable inventions, patents and improvements with which his name is forever asso- ciated, have revolutionized all systems of piano- building. . '

So it is that today the name of John Brinsmead & Sons on a Piano is the accepted synonym throughout the world for all round excellence, for beauty and per- fection of pianoforte technique, for durability in con- struction that shall withstand the ravages of time and temperature, for strength and finish in craftsmanship.

To see it is to admire — to hear it is to want it. Such is the experience of every loca.1 purchaser. You are invited to sec and hear this viionderUil instrument in our demonstration parlors.

MATTERS OF MOMENT IN WOMEN'S REALM

Vka W—iem OwitMiary

On the other aide of the line plana are belnsr made for the telebr^tlon 01 the hundred years of peace between Great Britain. Canada and the United State*. The Ensl'sh papers are In hearty ac- cord with the Idea. Earl Grey, our former Oovernor-Cfreneral, is chairman of the BritUh Committee, and Is likely to come to New York In April for a joint meeting of the (committees. On Chrlutmas lOve, 1914, the anniversary of the slBnlng of tlie treaty will be held In Cihom. Canadians, and especially Canadian women, are greatly Interested In this peace celebration. AVe cannot even Imagine how many and how great blesBlngs this long peace has brouglit to our country for wc know nothing of the horroPM of war. if .\merlcan wo- men, many of whom have lost husbanclfi, brothers and soi\m in the Civil War, arc eager to do their part I0 make the cele- bration a surcegs, wc In Canada should be ready to do our part.

An Adverse Opinion

-Muph lias been said In pralso of the Montcssori -system of education lijveiited by an llulijin lafl\-. The wonderful re- .sult.s she has attained have arou.scd the wonrlor and i>rovoked the liiiitatlon of teachers In nil civilized countries. In The I>on(ion Times, Miss Charlotte .M. .Mason has an able letter, warning her countrymen and women to pause be- fore they adopt u system which Is

the method of doveloplnK Iho .sense."? wliich is that ndnpted by .Madame Montcsorl is not orw likely to develop a hif,'!i type of man or woman. AVhat MIks .MuKon says has a very wide ap- plication and sliould be seriously con- sidered In an age when a i)a.sFlon for re- sults blinds educators to other and wider Lssucs. The letter is u long and somewhat technical one, but the fol- Iiiwing extracts will give .<?omc Idea of Us tenor :inil of the conclusUms arrived at.

■•What wc .lie saying, is, piactically, lievnlop his scn.'^^es, and a child is edu- cated; train hand and eye, and li,.' cun earn his IIvIiik; what more do you want?' A child so trained l.s not on a level with the Red IndiaJi of our child- hood: bis senses are b.v no means so aiiite. and the lieii Indian grew up witli sons and dance, tale and legend, anrl early developed ;i i)lillosoph.v. oven a re- ligion.

"The Montessori child has no .such chances; he sharpens a single sense, to be sure, at the expense of another and higher sense, liut there is no gradual painting in of a background to his life; 110 fairies ploy nibout him, no heroes stir bis 80ul; tlod and good angels form no part of his thought; tiie child and the person lie will bctronie are a scien- tific product, the result of much toiich- Int,' and some seeing and hearing; for what has science to do with these in- tangitile. hardly Imaginable entllles lallcd Ideas? No, let lilni take hold of life, match form with form, color willi color: but song and picture, hymn aiiil story arc for the odneational scraphoap. "Wo are all very gratoful to the gracious Italian lady who has showti that courtesy and consideration reveal the dignity and grace that belong to all children, that the rights of children Include the right of freedom In self- education, and that every human being is precious and worthy of honor, especially while he is a child. But I am Inclined to think that ijll our In- debtedness falls under these three heads, and that tl)e elaborate and costly apparatus, the use of touch rather than sight and exclusive sensory development are mischievous errors.

"A groat danger threatens the country and tlie world. We are losing faith In ideas, and substituting prac- tices for principles. As I have in former letters to The Times, the note of popular education today Is contempt for knowledge and for 'IwDoks In whlcli the knowledge of mankind is lodged. 'F^ducation by things' Is boldly advo- cated, regardless of the principle thttt things lead only to more and more various things and ore without effect on tho thoughts and therefore on the character and conduct of a man, save as regards the production or the exam- ination of similar things. A boy may turn out accurate and workmanlike models in cardboard or carpentry; if he Is a neat and careful. boy to begin wltli, these (lualities help him In his work; but if lie has learned against the grain to turn out good work, the acquirer characters will influence only the par- ticular work In question. Handicrafts add to the Joy of living, but they are not educative In the sense that they Influence character. Therefore a child should not do handiwark (like tlie ordering of cubes and cylinders In sizes, or tablets In colors, for example) that la not either beautiful or of use. Because a child Is a person, bocause his education should make him more of a person, because he increases upon such ideas as are to be fourd in books, pictures and tho like, because the more of a person he Is the better work will he turji out of whatever kind, because there Is a general dearth of persons of fine character and sound Judgment tor these and other reasons I should regard the spread of. schools conducted on any method whl^h condemns knowl- edge In favor of appliances and em- ployments as a calamity, no matter •low prettily the children may foe^^the present behave. Knowledge Is the soTe lever by which character In elevate<I, the sole diet upon which mind Is sus- tained,"

DIVORCE BASEBALL

FROM ALL BUSINESS

Chtlsty Mathewson is having a hor- rible time trying to divorce baseball from ^business. The fact that he Is ChristJ^'j!" Mathewson gives him eiitree into a number of exclusive offices in New Yorii vmder the guise of an insur- ance BoUcltor._ but after onco getting his would-be victim face to face, Math- ewson has a battle of words to Keep the conversation along insurance Unea rather than on the national pastime.

The entrance of Christy Is always cor- dially received, but after he has settled down in a chair to talk business, the sledding gets harder as the minutes fly s^vlftly by. This is about the way it goes:

Business Man — Come right In, Mr. Mathewson. I'm awfully glad to meet you. My! X guess I've seen you pitch a tliousand games.

Two promlBlng late arrivals are Bruce, late of the Bcottlah Junior Internationale, and McOredie, a cousin of the famoua A. McCredle, of the Olag- gow Rangera. Great things are expect- ed of these uew men.

Whiu no definite selection ot a team to rapresent th« Caplul has been made as yet, the final choice will be made from among the appended names. The selection committee will largely baae Us conclusion ^on the results of the practice which la lu l»e held this mom< Ing at ths Royal Atletic Park.

Mr. J. G. Brown has been appointed to act as referee In the New Tear's Day match. The Initiatory whistle will be blown at 10:30 a.m.

Business Man — Well, I'm awfully glad to have met you, old man. Look me up again and we'll talk over that policy when I have more time. Good-day.

"That's what I am up against," de- clares Mathewson. "The average busi- ness man falls to dKferentlate betWeen Mathewson, the baseball pitcher, and Mathe#edn, the' Insurance agent."

WESTCHESTER POLO CUP

lAXVDOX, Dec. 23, — The London Dally Telegraph in dlscutislng England's prospects of refraining the Westchester T'olo Cup In June, 1913, says;

"Tlie Duke of \A'e3tmlnster got to- guther the best atud of ponies in Eng- land before he arranged to send a beam to -America. It has been enormously strengthened, with the result Ihat Eng- land will be represented by .the grandest collection of high clas.n ponies ever got Tos-cther in ; thl«- rmtrrtry: "'■":

'•probably f'jr the first time Ameri- cans have found that the weight of dol- lars has not availed them In their ef- forts to secure their pick of the British pony market.

"It is true that a num'ber of ponies weiH; bought at high prices for the. United .States, but in tiro majority of cases they were not sold until the Tiuke of Westminster had been given the re- fu.sal of them.

"On tb.e authority of .Major Edgarton Green, maxiager of the Hurllnghaiu Club, according to the present arrange- ment; the following six players will pa to America to play for the cup:

"Captain George Belleville. W. S. Ruckmaster. Captain Chettpe. Captain Rltson, V. M. Kreake and Lord Wood- house.

"Tliils Includes the old Cantaba team, which was recognized as the strongest team in this country. The Duke of Westminster has laid his plans so well that the odds are likely to be in Eng- land's favor next June."

The Initial shoot of the Victoria Miniature Rifle AsBOctation at their range on the Esquimalt :Road»ye<aterd,iy afternoon and evening, was very well attended, and «ome excellent acores put on. The important feature of the o-.cx- alon was the shooting of the meinbers for the ten highest scores out of a pos- sible 100, for the first match of the Canadian Rifle I^eague miniature series.

This play«r shortly after- wards scored again, but Hymera for ths other side, who had been brought up from back to forwards, rushed the goal- keeper at the other end and the score again stood at 3 all.

Then came ths most Interesting period of the play. The Bons of England's right wlRg, K«rley and C. Martin again and again brought the ball UP and centred right across goal and the latter thoroughly deserved the point which he added. Meantime the J. B. A.

The liays were penal- iaed for handling the ball in front of their own goal but the shot, as so often happens, went straight; to the goal- keeper and no score resulted.

VANCOUVER, B, C. Dec. 28.— -The British Columbia Lacrosse Association, as the governing body of prbfesslonal lacrosse on the Pacific Coast, went on record today as being In favor of the orgaulzatiou of a commission to govern the game throughout Canada. Only Vancouver delegates were present at the special meeting which President Harry Cowan of the association called. The call for a meeting was Issued a week ago Friday, and Secretary Fred Lynch assured' the president that the Royal City delegates would be present, but at the scheduled hour today only Vancouver delegates wore present and the association decided the Interests of the game would be better served by placing all leagues on an equal basis and in controlling series, leagues, etc. by an Independent tribunal. Today President Cowan had not received any Intimation from New Westminster why the champions were not represented at the conference, which had been called specially for the purpose of placing la- crosse on a more up-to-date basis and prebludlng any possibility of the public forming an opinion that the Coast As- sociation was antagonistic towards l«agues which were desirous of brltiglng the game up to a high standard.

Mir. Oon Jones, president of the Van- couver Club, left tonight for the Bast and will meet oticlals o« the Dominion Liu^sss J^ssoclaflon; the major l«ague of the East, and also ths N. L. U., with a view to effecting the orgranlzatlon of a commission to govern the game throughout the country. He will sub- mit the pro»ramn»e sdopted by the B. C.

Whllo no deflnlte action was taken rei^ardlng the expansion of the B. C. L. A, next season, It Is believed thai a couple of new dtths will be Included In tho circuit. A VlctoHa papor stated a' tew days ago that K<tow Wsstmlnster olSclsls w«tc« over In ths CapiUI- feolinc out Victoria amateurs regarding, their attitude toward* professional- licrosso. and It Is bellcvfld that Vlctort* will bo a potent factor in the titfalrs of ths league In l»U- Anothpr i^alnland club is. also mentioned for the les^pM.

■V'ttncouver was tlie only professional team in the Province before whom Vic- toria si'cuumbed last season. The sranie which is to be played on N^ew yo'ir's Day at the Royal Athletic Park rg a return m«tch for the one of last year which Vancouver won by the slim .s.;ore of 1 to 0. A record crowd of soccer lol- lowcrs Is expected to attend on Wednes- day, and thea^e is no' possible doubt that they will be given the finest kind of football. Both teams - have announced their entire confidence In their ability to carry the day.

With two engagements in sight with- in the next moon. Joe Bayley Is not exactly letting grass grow under his feet. He Is now In the capalaln hands of Al. Goodwin, of the James Bay Ath- letic Association, who is said to be able to ahow his pupil one or two new tricks -of the game. In addition tOk' the two slated bouts there is a possibility of a third encounter to follow at some not distant date, should Joe, as is generally expected, take 6cale«-'e measure at Ed- monton, on January 23. Pal Brown will bo the new prlnlcpal In the latter event.

Only a few players turned out for tho Rugby Union practice game at Oak Bay Park yesterday afternoon, but these utlll2«d the opportunity to pet in some oxcellemt practice of the open game be- hind skeleton scrums.

Terminal City Rinks Prove Too Strong for Victoria Visitors — Ice Keen and Contests Very Close

VA.VCOUVER, B. C, Dec. 28. — A con- tingent Of curlers from Victoria in- vaded the city today to give battle to the local crack.s, and although they were dafoated in three games out of four, with a total scoro of 46-3-t, tiiey gave a good account of thoms«l\es, and tlio largo crowd of spectators iirosenl was treated to some excelloni sport in tho afternoon.

Prosidout W. A. Macdonald and F. O. Crisp, Of the Vancouver Association skipped rinks against Thomas McCosh and F. Rilcliia. The president won out by the score of 11 to 5, but these totals no doubt were able to i do not give a fair Idea of tho evenness

draw valuable conclusions from th/j play.

Al Palzer spent nearly an hour on Friday morning inspecting hia "jattle grotmd at the Vernon Arena, Los An- gelas. McCarty, his opponent, has fought In the Arena on one former oc- casion, says Pa1z«r, and he himself wants to be just as famllr\r with tho ring. Palzer positively refuses to oc- cupy a corner which will necjssitato his facing the sun. Rather than do this he will set on the same side of the ring as McCarty.

of the" play. Macdonald played a great game, and his superb playing was largely responsible for the victory. That tho Victoria skip has lost none of his cunning was frequently noticed, and he is determined that the Island curlers will have a rink of their own by next Winter.

Tho game between Crisp and Ritchie was par»lcularly close, and was any- body's gamo until the last rock had boon sent down the Ice. Crisp led by a small margin until the eighth end, and then Rltchio scored four, putting him three to tho good.

Crisp had a big end In the ninth and ovenod up, but Ritchie came 'right back with three more In the tenth, making tl^o score 13-10. Crisp placed his rocks well In tho eleventh, and again evened tho score, and by great work In the twelftii got tho winning point, making the final score 14-13,

Tho visitors were loud In their praise of the condition of the Ice, and more visits have been promised. Tho per- sonnel of tho rinks was as follows:

Victoria — W. S. Currle, U. W. Hudson, J. J. Nelson, Thomas McCosh (skip), 5.

Vancouver — M. P. Cotton, J. Moe, J. G. Ulloch, W. A. Macdonald (skip), 11.

In tho evening McCosh and Ritchie were pitted againnt. J. A.

The results of yesterday's interme- diate soccer contests brought out a big surprise in tho victory of the Flftli Rogiment over the T. M. C. A. The Regiment Is now out of the tall-end place of the league for good. By ar- rangement made' on the field, yester- day's gamo included a postponed mntrh, bo 4bft« th« witnisr got four points instead of only two. This gives thf! Regiment a total of eight points, making thom ovon In that rospect wllli the Coronas. The Coronas, however, have to play off tho gamo with Vic- toria West, postponed from yesterday, whereas the Regiment has only one moro match to coinploto the series. The A. O. F. did not turn out at all against the W^ards, who thus got the game by default. This victory brings the total of the league leaders up to 24 points. The Wests have now two games to play off at the conclusion of the scheduled series. Navy-Kequlmalt won easily from J. B. A. A. by the score of 4 to 0| The Bays did not muster a full team, rifth Bsfflmsnt vs. T. M. O. A. Playing the strongest game they have put up this season, the Fifth Regiment pulled themselves still further out of the nether regions of the Intermediate Soccer League of the city, by defeating Y. M. C. A. by the heavy score of B to 0. This victory gives the soldiers four points, as It was agreed between the two teams, before starting the game, that the contest was to wipe out a match postponed from tho earlier stages of the series. The Regiment was not by any means represented by Its strongest eleven, nor had tho Y. M. C. A. Its regular squad In the field. The latter's poor showing is attribut- able principally to absolutely inefficient shooting. They had all kinds of chances to score, but nearly always failed even to place the ball in the region of their opponents' goal.

In tho first half the Regiment had to face a strong gale of wind, which greatly hindered thom in directing and propelling tho ball. They commenced somewhat weakly, but as the game ad- vanced they picked up. T. M. C. A. drove in several shots which appeared to be up to the standard, hut these were ea.'iily handled by Dutot, the Regiment'! goalkeeper, who played a sure game throughout. It must be admitted that the Association men had hard luck on more than one of these occasions, but often good opportunities' for a tally were simply thrown away. About fifteen min- utes before the close of the period Speochley, the Regiment's outside left, taking a neat pass from Fieldsend, brought in the first goal for his side. The first half ended with no further scora.

'With the wind favoring them in the Bflcond half, the Regiment got com- pletely away. Their combination im- proved greatly, and In a short while Speechley got through with a second tally. Y. M, C, A.' brought the ball up again and again, but as before with no useful effect. The third score of the Regiment came through the agency of MacKay, who headed the ball In from a comor kick. Fieldsend was fospon- slblo for the fourth tally, and tljo fifth was put through by one of tho- T. M. C. A. bscks. '

Dutot In goal for the winners made a specially good showing, stopplrtg every shot that cams his way. Ward, tholr fullback', was easily tho best de- fence man on the field. Speechley, Mc- Kay and FlsMsond played' well on the forward division, iynm tho V. M. C. A. right back, was in good form. Laity showed up well on tho halfhaek line.
