The Education Bill is a Source of Weakness -- Strenucus Efforts Made to Form a, British Com- bination But Not Likely to Succeed. : New -York, Aug. 23.--The Tribune's London cable says: "H. W. Forster's return for Seven Oaks, by a heavily reduced majority, has not surprised intelligent politicians, His election relieved the anxiety of the government whips, yho were nervous when they remembered what happened in North Leeds, but it has involved a shrinkage of nearly 4,000 in the majority ob- tained in Seven Oaks two years ago. The government peess makes a brate effort to draw sunbeams from cucum- bers, but it is evident that a few more victofies of this kind will leave the mihistry depende nt upon a well-drilled majority in the commons rather than popular support in the country. "Lord Rosebery's partisans can as- sert that Beaumont Morice would have won if he had been a liberal lea- guer like Mr. Barren in North Leeds, and had. thrown Irish home rule over- board, .but the safer deduction is that Mr. Forster's previous majority was too large to be wiped out. The edy- cation bill is a' source of weakness hit' the Baliour ministry, thoroughly com- mitted to it, must carry it through. "Reports cabled {rom the United States that Mr. Schwab contemplates an amalgamation of British, American and Belgian steel and iron interests, excites amusement among leaders in that. industry here. Strenuous efforts have been made to form a British combination during the last' eight months, but without success. There is no practical method of securing the valuation either of plant or good-will when the machinery is behind the times, vet is appraised by owners high above the dividend earning capacity. There is no longer any talk of com- bining the great British iron and steel works into an anti-Morgan trust." INCIDENTS OF THE DAY. ---- Newsy Paragraphs Picked up by Reporters On Their Rounds.

Six Thousand Reached Winnipeg \ Yesterday--The Number From The Province Will Be Smaller Than Last Year. Winnipeg, Aug. 23--Up to midnight about six thousand harvesters haa ar- rived yesterday on special trains. The first train reached here shortly after noon, with nineteen coaches: the se- cond had fifteen; the third, eighteen; the fourth, eighteen; the fifth, twen- tv-one, and the sixth, twenty-four, a total of 145 coaches. The railway, government, and municipal officials took charge of each train, directing the men to their destinations. . Many special trains were sent out and by Monday over six theusand harvesters will be at work in the fields. Many of those who came in "on the late trains yesterday had to sleep around the sta- tion, hotels and boaraing houses be- ing. crowded. Cropp reports contine to be most favorable. Out of a hundied and 'ten reports from the west, only nine are slightly unfavorable. Cutting is going on in many places and farmers seem pleased with the product. Will Fall Short. Toronto, Aug. 23.--The supply of harvesters from Ontario for the west this year will fall very considerablv short of last year's total. Revised returns show that in the three days ending yesterday, 7.608 left this pro- vince, an increase of 259 over the fig- ures for 1901. Last year, however, no less, than 4,068 persons went on the second series of exc ursions,, a week later than the first, The railway offi- cials did not give notice of the ~ cond series this year, which begins on August 30, until yesterday," and they say that they have no expectation of securing any such number this year on. these suppleme nfary trips. It is therefore certain that the total of 11,- 417 from Ontario last year will not be reached. se- ------ THE MILITIA DECORATIONS. Six: Hundred And Twelve Have | Qualified. Ottawa.
