New Unionist Leader Takes Issue With Those Who Say Defeat of Reci- procity Has No Bearing on Tariff Reform In England--It Gives New Life to the Scheme For the Federation of the Empire. London, Nov. 17.--(C.A.P. Cable.)-- Bonar Law appeared for the first time as leader of the Opposition last night, when he addressed a tremendous aud- dence in Leeds' Coliseum. After an expression of his views on the gues- tion of home rule, disestablishment, and reform, he made the following references to Canada and the recent election: ""That election is, as Mr. Balfour truly said, not only the most remark- dble event of the year in the political history of the British Empire, but it {may turn out, as I believe it will turn out, to be a landmark in the histo of the world. If we are to understan: 'the full significance of those elections, let us consider, not what the Radical speakers and the Radical press now gay, but what they said when they thotight the result would be different. "We were told that the treaty mark- ed a great step towards free trade, It that were true, then the rejection of the treaty was not a step but a leap backward from what they call [tree trade. We were told the treaty {wae a deathblow to the cause of pref- erence. If that were true, then the | rejection of that treaty gives new life io the cause--the controlling cause of Hh tect | o elections were that Canadians elieved, and I agree that Taft was I right when he said that it was a case of now or never, that their decision Uthen would settle finally whether Canada was fo continue as an autono. :mous nation becoming more closely | united to the Empire or whether shé 'should gradually corte under the in- fluerice of a great friendly nation ly- ing to the south. "14 is now claimed that the election Tas no bearing on the cause of pref- erence. A more ignorant or more im- pudent claim was mever made for many years. At every Imperial Con- forance the Prime Ministers of every g colony have urged upon rocal preference 1 trac g else of each party of the Empire, treating every | other part on better terms than those ch were given to the rest of the 1d. The Oanadian elections are simply an emphatic reminder that this is still the aim of our self-govern- ing dominions." Will Force Public Operation. Philadelphia, Nov. 17.--In a re- arkable address, that has caused a found jmpression among railroad meh, Martin A. Knapp, presiding judge of the U. 8. Court of Commerce, told a large audience in the Hous- ton Club of the University of Pennsyl- vania that a crisis is coming which ywill test the policy of the Govern- ment's rate regulation system, and that it it fails, Government owner- ship will be the only alternative: - This crigis will come within a generation, he said. He asserted also that there must be a general wi jussoasexts all railroad men and for other work- ers, that the of rail- x adyised and | fitted nm as is: Fepor FUR 48 A votany br | Soudan, Africa, "tare eps out in the opén Pl "Head.

Within an hour William's horse put a score of mils between his rider and the French Court. Philip IT. of Spain could play chi amiably enough as long as he won like so many of us; but woe to the indiscreat player who checkmated His | Mejesty. Banishment from Court was the least penalty he might expect. One of the most powerful Crandees of Spain, after playing with the King, returned home, and thus greeted his family: "My children, we have noth- ing more to do at Court. must henceforth expect no favor; the g is offended because I have won every game of chess." Napoleon the Great was an equally selfish and intolerant player Once when he was playing with Engene Beauharnais, and suddenly found himself face to face with a check- mate, in a fit of passion he swept board, pieces and all, off the table, slapped his opponent in the face and walked out of the room. In one case at least chess estranged a husband and wife, and cost the hus. band dearly. Ferrand, Count of Flan- ders, was in the habit of playing with his Countess, and was ungallant enough to win almost every game. This constant and almost inevitable defeat so disturbed the lady, that in time she conceived a positive hatred of her vietor--to such an extent that hen he was taken prisoner at the Battle of Bouvines she refused point blank to procure his release. Louis XIII. of France was so in- tatuated with tbe game that wherever he went he was accompanied by his chees-board and men, and presiably layed it in his coach.
