Dec. 29.--A move started among the increase the salary of the coming meet association. His Indianapolis, ment has been mine workers to President Mitchell at ing of the national present salary is S1,500 per annum and that of Secretary treasurer Wilson 21.530. During the anthracite strike, these men contributed twenty-five per cent. of their earnings, and this, addec to regular assessments, made Mit chell's salary less"than five dollars per dav. while Wilson. who handled mil- lions of dollars, received only about four dollars. It is now proposed to give Mitchell 83,000 per annum and make a corresponding advance for Wilson, The an increase national here January 19th.

TO BRING Spain Anxious. to Retain the Status Quo in Morocco--Bish- ops in England are in Danger- ous State--Has Made a Pro- found Impression. Londen, Dee. 29.--A curious story comes through private resources irom St. Petersburg. The czar, as is well- known, has of late years taken a great deal of interest in spiritualism and it is stated that The Hague con- fercn ¢ was a direct result of a spirit- ualistic seance at which, having re ceived a call, he was told that it was his duty to bring about peace in the world. The complication in Morocco receives scant attention here, but is commeat- ed uron strongly in Madrid. The Spanish newspapers say it is very doubtful if there would be any im- provement on the situation even if the powers interested in the Moroccoan empire intervened. Spain is naturally anxious t, maintain the status quo in Moroc o as long as possible, as the present state of her resouress would «nly allow her to play an in- ferior part in the event of any for- eign intervention. The Church of Fngland, while still in mourning for the Archbishop of Canterbury, has sufiered another vere loss by the death of the Bishop of St. Albans, There is quite an ex- ceptional amount of illniss in the ranks of the episcopacy just now. The Bishon of London, who has been more gravely ill than was generally sup- pused, has been sent away to Bourne- mouth. The sptiragan Vishop- of Southampton is lying very seriously ill, and the stalwart soldierly Bishop of Bath and Wells is also confined to bed. Despatches from se- Durban show that Mr. Chamberlain has made yz profound impression in Natal. The year which is raji lly now draw- ing to a close has been, on the whole, a good one for British trade, although the big boom which was predicted as a result of peace in South Africa, s not yet put in an appearance. Still, John Bull, ship owner, ship builder, manufacturer, merchant, engineer, col- jiery owner, banker and financier, can afford to look back upon 1902 with a certain of satisfaction. He has at last awakened to the necessity of kee; ing himself abreast of 'the times in recard to methods and amalcama- tion and reconstruction have been the order of the day. Even the railwav compani s have commenced to take a hen! in the re-organization of their tratfic and revenue is coming in well in excess of the estimates, and shows a fair proportionate increase last vear, after making allowance for additional taxation, On the other hanl, thouch than six months have elapsed since the termination of the national expendi sense over more the Boer war, ture has not vet begun to show the reduction which the taxpayers would like to see, and it is probable in con- neice of the increased. demands for South Africa, for se vari us purposes in the re-organization of the army and navy, and for larger grants on ac- count of education, that this side of the national accounts wi'l not show a very consi lerable reduction for some time to come. The questfilih of the appointment of a British minister of commerce ix the chief topic in trade circles just now. Commercial men re- gard the board of trade as a fossiliz- «a department, and it is certainly, at present, of little use to traders. Sir Albert Rollit will present the views of the various British chambers of commerce on this matter, when parlia- What ment reassembles in February. they ask for is a minister of com- ner who himseli has been a com mercial man.

De La Hooke, and four daughters; one of the latter i: Mrs. (Rev.) Hi.ks, Sim- Coe. Woodstock, Ont. Dec. 29.--Mrs. James Burues, of this city, killed mn the wreck at Wanstead, was on the way, with her husband, to visit a brother of Mr. Barnes in Point Ed- ward, who the later had not seen for twenty-five years. Mr. Barnes, seri- ously injured, is a member of the Salvation Army here, and with his family, came here a few months ago from Simcoe. Toronto, Dec. 29.--The only persons killed in the Wanstead wreck whose identity, up to yesterday, was un- known, has been identified as a Miss Toini Paananen, a Finish girl, em- ployed as a domestic in this city. Her only relarive in Toronto is W. Paan- anen, a young tailor. Miss Paananen was on her way to a place in Michi- gan, about 100 miles west of Duluth, where her father, mother, and a bro- ther and sister reside, when she met death. Died Ia Toronto. Dec. 29.--Joseph IL. Toronto, Thomp- son, father of the famous author and writer of animal stories, Ernest Se- ton-Thompson, died at his resilience here, on Saturday eveninr.

Snow fell rapidly all Friday night, so that it was completely cov- ered at daybreak and was not found. To-day one of the men workings at the wreck noticed a little mound in the ditch and. irvestization showed R ke ts' under the snow. The man's body, unidentified last night, was to-day identified as that of George D. Southern, Lockport, N.Y. Of the five Chic people in Vie: toria Hospital, John Bird any Dr, (.

Now comes a decision of the United States circuit court of the southern district of New York, which holds that all tea now in bonded ware- houses will be subject to the ten per cent. tax, even if withdrawn after January Ist.

Brussels, Dec. 21. -- The Dutch govern- ment has received Ta telegram from Batavia, Dutch fast Indies, announc- ing the capture of the sultan's family in the mountairs of Achin, Sumatra, where it had taken refuge.

Achin is in the northern part of Sumatra. STARVED TO DEATH. An Exploring Party of Thirty Lost Lives. Seattle, Wash., Dec. 29.--News has just reached here that John H.
