London, Dec. 4.--A despatch to the Times, from Pekin, says that Russia proposes a new departure by estab- lishing customs in Manchuria, and col- the eastern frontier lecting duties on and the frontier of Port Arthur, leased territory, according to the Chinese tariff, overhanding the = re- ceipts to China. Hitherto goods have entered Manchuria from Dalny, Port Arthur and Siberia free of duty. Nom- inally the establishments will be under the Chinese Maritime customs, but the obvious intention is to entirely separate thém from all interference or control by the Chinese inspectorate. The education bill passed its third reading in the House of Commons, last night, the vote, taken at mid- night standing 246 in favor of the measure to 123° against it. The bill was thercupon, sent to the House of Lords. There were only three mem- bers of the upper house in attendance, but these formed a quorum and the bill was* received and immediately passed its first reading, after which the house adjourned. The shipping subsidies committee of the House of Commons, has laid its report upon .the table. It contends that, as a general rule, subsidies ought not to be granted, except for services rendered, but admits that in rare cases subsidies are necessary for establishing fast and direct British communication. It recommends, in con- nection with this point, the subsidiz- ing of a line to East Africa. The com- mittee is of the opinion that means ought to be taken to obtain the re- moval of foreign laws and regulations which include British ship owners from the coasting trade of various foreign powers, and, if need be, the re- gulations for the admission of foreign vessels to the British and British col- onial trades should be used with the object of securing reciprocal advant- ages for British shipments abroad. The long expected action of Taff Vale Railway company. against the Amalgamated Society. of railway ser- vants, arising out of strike. which oc- curred in August, 1900, came on for hearing yesterday. The railway com- pany which seeks to recover damages, contends that there was a conspiracy on the part of the society to injure its business, and, further, that there was an unlawful combination to carry on a strike. The casé is likely to last some days. It marks a 'néw departure in industrial struecles and, in. view of its importance, half a dozen king's counsel, including Sir Edward Clarke, in addition to five junior.members of the Bar, have been briefed. The Canadian Club opened its usu- al series of monthly dinners, last ev- ening, at the Albion, with Granville Cunningham in the chair and about sixty members at the table. The high commissioner's office was represented by J. G. Colmer, and Commissioner Preston, who recently received from the society of arts a silver medal in appreciation. of his paper onthe ¥rench-Canadians and their relation to the crown, was also present. The absorption of Lloyds, ingcham, by Stewart and Menzies, Glasgow, has received scarcely any attention in the British press, al though it will bring under a single management about fifty per cent. of the aggregate -production of the iron and steel tubes of the United King- dom.

London, Dec. 4.--A correspondent telegraphing from the camp of the Sultan ef Morocco. near Mekinez, says that the Berber chiefs have taken re- fuge in a sanctuary near Mekinez. The correspondent says that peace negotia- tions are likely to be successful. "ihe sultan's army will remain among the Berbers until the terms of a peace treaty - are carried out, when the court will return and winter at Kek- inez.. The terms which the Moorish government will accept include a heavy fine in money, a large number oi hostages, and paymnént of several vears' arrears in taxes. The entire dis- attack during winter weather is very difficult. trict is deserted, the enemv having taken refuge with the women and. flocks on mountain districts, where an Toronto, Dec. 3.--Hon. Richard Har- court, minister of education, has just returned from New York, where | he spent some time in studying the sys- tems of education which have been adopted in the metropolis of the Unit ed States. The minister considers that the time has arrived when the course at the Normal schools should be lengthened, and he believes that do- mestic science must now take a pro- minent place. Sewing and cooking were of much more importance to the young girls of the country than alge- ra or Euclid. The teachers must therefore, be learned in domestic science in order to teach the children under them. In New York the salaries commenced at #00 and rose steadily and a retiring) allowance was given to them in their later years. One lady principal he met with received a salary of $2,750. Under the chief su- perintendent, there were fifty assist- ants, who received a salary of 81,000 each. They were men who were well up in the work and who could teach. as well as inspect. female teachers' COUNTERFEIT YANKEE BILLS Have Raised One Dollar Notes to Ten Dollars. Buffalo, Dec. 4.--The local banks have been bothered considerably «lately with United States certificates that have been very cleverly raised from the one dollar denomination to §I10. Those who effected this species of counterfeiting circulated their k in small Canadian towns and villages near the border, and they were return- ed here in exchange. The certificate has the appearance of a new crisp bill, and all the figures and words "one"' are removed by powerful acid and "10," "X," and "ten" substitut- ed. Unless a large number of the bills have been raised the labor was worth the $9 made in the deal. DASHED OVER PRECIPICE. Accident on Street Car Line At Sherbrooke. Sherbrooke, Que., Dec. 4.--This morn- ing, before seven o'clock, one of tue street cars left the icy track and broke through the railing of the Wolfe street bridge.
