The Japanese gov- ernment is accumulating large amounts of Trice and food supplies and coal is being bunkered at strategic points. The staffs of the arsendls are being in- cregsed and according to Japanese pa pers the output of war munitions is large. JThe naval yards are scenes of t activity and rush repairs are be- ing done. op_some of the warships. * popular feeling is growing strong: er in favor of war but officialdom 1s calm. A review of the Japanese jour ndls shows a preponderance of ex- pression that Russia will never relin- wish the Manchurian territory. The Japanese Times says it is evident that Russia, despite denials, means to main- tain her hold on Manchuria even at risk of war, Japan>se papers contain despatches from many sources, regard- ing the war preparations - of Russia. Blagoverestorensck, despatches to the Tokio Mainichi, say that all trains arriving are loaded with provisions and war munitions. Traops are being mobilized in the district and the mas- give corps of Irkoubck 'district are be ing called up. The Mainichi has also received advices 'that large forces of Russian troops are crossing the Yalu river and over twenty thousand Rus- sians arc now massed there. + 'The: Pekin correspondent of the Main- ichi "wires details of a conference with the Chinese court regardipg the Man- ¢huzian question. He quoted the em- press dowager as stating that it was impossible to cede Manchuria, whence came the gncestors of the dynasty, fo Russia but it.might be advisable to lease outer Mongolia, which is conti guous to Siberia, providing the Rus- sians would open the district to trade. The. correspondent adds that Prince Ching strongly opposed the empress dowgger and the emperor did not sup- port: the proposal. Wan Wen Shao amd? Lu Chun Lin took a neutral gtamtl. The correspondent says that the Russian authorities bribed all the leading 'officials with the exception of Prince Ching prior to the production of the secret treaty in regard to Man- churia. The total amount paid out in. hribes was over a hundred . thou: sand taels. 'The Pekin correspondent of the Asa- hi says the Russians have been work- ing several mines in Manchuria since the occupation and have not bothered to obtain permission from the Chinese government. The British and Japanese ministers have protested in this re gard. Another Japanese paper has ad- vices from Pekin that the Russians are seeking to close Lia Ho to foreign vessels, reserving the right to enter the river to Russian ships. Several ki- Kin stations have heen opened hy Rus sians along the river and a new steam- chip service is to be established be wween Dathey and Niuchwang. The Ji pi Shimpo has a long interview with the Russian minister at Pekin from its correspondent there. He says the rea son Russia opposes the opening of Manchuria is that British, Japanese and. Americans, who want to reside there, have political ends to advance unconnected with commerce.. He' says Russia seeks to prohibit the employ: meht of foreigners in Manchuria * in self-defence, because it is inevitable that the safety of Manchuria will be menaced if foreigners come in. Russia, he pointed out, has spent large sums and sent large forces to develop Man churia while Britain and Japan have not spent a cent there, nor sent a soldier, and they cannot have any right to interfere with the district. In conclusion the Russian minister said that in Russia the opinion wds gain ing ground that the time was ripe for the St. Petersburg government to de clare Manchuria a Russian province in stead of allowing it to remain in an undecided state. Japanese correspon dents state that the United States minister at Pekin is indignant at the offensive attitude adopted by the Rus sian minister. Alfred Cunningham, manager of the Hong Kong Daily Press for years, who a passenger on the Kaga Maru. said in an interview that Japan-se journalists with whom he had von versed on the way, do not regard Rus sia's 'action in Manchuria as surpris ing or unanticipated. He pointed ont that Russia, in building the Manchu rian Railway, seizing the Niuchwang ecistoms, forming and developing the important strategical ports of Harbin and Dalmy, was planning the scheme now thre ning to disturb the peace of the Orient, and few believe that Russia will relinquish territory 'she has so long coveted as indispensable to her dominions. Russia, during the prolonged period of evacuation by the powers, made use of territory and un scrupulous methods. He said that in Japan the feeling was at fever height over Russia's action, and warlike pre parations were going on at all sides, although whether the future held war OTE SS, was ¥y THE OLD RELIABLE will spend the 24th in Kingston.

Boston, Mass., May 20.--Yesterday afternoon Massachusetts was visited by a' severe electric storm resulting in loss of life and great damage to pro: perty. The following is a report of thé' damage in the respective towns and districts : At South Framingham rain began to fall about three o'clock after a day of torrid heat, the thermometer regis- tering ninety degrees. The tempest was fierce, accompanied by heavy rain and hail. Two Italians took refuge un- der a tree from the shower and were killed. A team of horses driving be tween here and Southboro were also killed. Great damage to trees and other buildings was also done. At Waltham, about four o'clock, lightning struck the house of J, J. Mooney. The bolt passed through the parlor completely demolishing every thing in its course. Another bolt struck St. Mary's church, breaking a window. The storm did considerable damage to the out-lving districts. At Sandwich no loss of life was sus tained, no buildings burned, but great damage was done to the trees, crops and telegraph and telephone poles. At Brockton a house was struck but not burned. No injury was sudtained by its occupants other than a severe shock. a At Fall River a housg was struck and considerably damaged, no loss of life. A horse was struck and killed in the street. In the city of Boston the story was severe and was accompanied by heavy wind, rain and hail. No damage was done to property or loss of life. The storm was fierce while it lasted, but soon passed over. The thermometer re- gistered ecighty-eight degrees in the forenoon. INCIDENTS OF THE DAY.

Editor): A word of explanation is necessary in regurd to the cases now pending and having to do with the enforcement of the Liquor act. The women who made the obsetva tions last Sunday are not seekers of fame. . They are not imitators of Mrs. Carrie Nation, and the people who re fer to them disrespectfully are not do ing their sexor the cause they espouse any harm. What .is their position ? They re present an organization which favors (1) advanced temperance legislation. and (2) proper regard for the laws which now prevail. 'fhe licensed victu allers ray they are satisfiede with the fiquor law as it stands, and that they have no objection to its enforcement. It is the only logical position they can assume. ' Then the question arises, Has the law been honowred in practice ? The complaints following last Sunday's observations have not been disposed of, and until they are the answer may be withheld. But the W. C. T. U. has contended that some features of the act have been overlooked or ignored It is not the duty of the W. C. T. U to call the inspector's attention to any duty that is dei®lving upon him, but the W. C. T. U, Het] that some aggressive action should be taken and the little that has beeti done is sim ply an earnest of their purposes. I am not anxious that the W. C. T. U. should do any more of this cam paigning, but I must say that it is jus- tified if the enforcement of the law cannot be otherwise secured. The women referred to are worthy of admiration, in that they have been equal to the performance of an un: pleasant task, and that they have no wish for the notoriety, in the way of opprobrious names, which some peo ple are willing to award them.-- Yours, CITIZEN.

It is placed upon a pillar of spruce four and a half feet high in the garden of the chief factor, The copper disc, which is covered with the lead plate already described, is a foot in diameter, and there'is also a little copper index. The longitude and latitude of Norway House are marked upon the plate. The wood and metal work are as good as new, and though relic and curiosity hunt- ers of all kinds have made repeated efforts to get it they have always been refused. One of the most pathetic land- marks of the place is a monument erécted to the memory of a former chief factor of Norway House, who was accidentally drowned in a rapid more than a decade ago by the sotting of his canoe. His faithful Indian managed to lash him in the water to the canoe, and endeavored to swim with him to the shore, but lost his own life in the attempt. The . monument is not only to Mr. Belan- ger, the late chief factor, but bears also the inscription, "To the faith- ful servant, who died for his mas- ter." Mr. Perry has 'with him plans and profiles of the survey work done by his party during February and March. * This may be briefly sum- marized as follows' Explorations carried on for fully four hundred miles have demonstrated an, excep- tionally easy country cast and west of Nelson River, at head of Lake Winnipeg. On the first thirty miles of located line but two easy curves exist, and the party are now run- ning a 100-mile straight line through Jevel country east towards Island Lake. - Westerly from crossing of Nelson River there will be a GO-mile straight line, and the gradients ex- ceedingly easy.

Milner of Toronto Uni- versity recontly read a very carefully prepared paper upon "The English and American Conceptions of Liber- ty,"" befors the Toronto Canadian Club, x He considered that the best con- ception of liberty was embodied in the English idea rather than the Am- 'erican. The English had never for- gotten the early German conception of individual liberty, which had been carried from the shores of the Baltic. and every great revolutionary move- ment had represented the fact. The Normans had brought the conception of Roman Imperialism against which the English had battled," and he be- lieved that the danger of the Nor- man influence upon English civiliza- tion, had been thwarted, and that the German conception, as illustrat- ed -in the turning out of Govern- ments when in power with a safe ma- jority, as pointed out by govern- ment defeats in bye-elections, had won 'the day. American democracy was a faith in man, which had almost attained the zeal of a religion. It--embodied all the good and bad ideals of the Ro~ man and the Greek. It had made the people believe that the revolu- tion of 1767 'had given the country the most lofty ideal of liberty, and it had culminated in the great trusts and in the most impure system of party government in the world. He considered that the younger Ca~ nadians are losing the English con- ception, and drifting towards the American, and that only the asser- tion of the individual conception would save us from falling into the American ideas. The present apathy in Canadian politics strongly sup- ported his contention. Discipline had Jost its force, partly by reason of the ideals of American democracy, which had crept in, and by reason of so many women teaching in the pub- lic schools. ---------------- Medical Knights. Sir James Grant of Ottawa, and Sir William Hingston of Montreal are the only two Canadian physi- cians who owe their knighthoods to their professional rank and services. Although Sir James Grant long sat in the House of Commons, it was not the politician, but the physician to the vice-regal household and the successful doctor who was decorat- ed. It was as a medical man and not as a member of Parliament that Dr. Hingston received his knight- hood. The other "doctors," like Sir Charles Tupper or Sir John Schultz, won their titles in public life, not in medical practice. Named for Indore, India. Rev. R, A.
