"Anything the Scotch do they do well' he remarked, "so I can place mw daughters under their care, assured that they will receive the best SUSI. ola pb i particular ere of activity o the consul-general is the diplomatic field. His assistants pay partiailar at- tention to commercial relations be- tween J and Canada, and look after the routine duties of the service. It is now some three and a half years since he came to Canada, having first established himself in Montreal. How- ever, as he had to specially interest himself in diplomacy he considered it better to be where the government met and the legislation was framed. Thus he would be on the field of bat- tle continually * and in closer touch with the politicians of Canada. A year and a half ago, the office of the econ- al was removed to Ottawa. . rding the present war," queri- ed the Whig representative, "Is not the indemnity of two and one hal billions of dollars rather a heavy one." . "Well," answered Hon. Nosse, "Ja- pan once made a mistake in the hand of Russia. That was when she gave up Korea. Russia then promised things she never meant to keep. This time Japan must be suve. She must get terms which will ensure perpetual peace. Above all things Korea - met be under protection of Japan." He cited the case of Japan and Egypt as a parallel. Korea was a corrupt coun- try, governed by a weak' le. The moment Japan lety it puss~from her hands there was no knowing what na- tion would step in and seize control of the country. The power whi did so would then constitute a- ace to the island etwire, from which it would be impossible to escape. It was a strategical positibn as well and bv making it the base of supplies for his fleet Admiral Togo was able to crush his adversaries with far greater ease than he would otherwise have been enabled to do. ; A the indemnity asked, the i to the the conclusioir of a serman war. Japan could easily t Russia again ten years hence, but did not propose that such an opportunity should arise. The pres ent straggle must ensure the peace of e Orient for years to come.

With our great wealth and resources, the consul thought we are altogether too modest extend the inviting hand to our southern neighbor far too much in the way of allowing him all the plums.

However, the Orient was the place for Canada. There her markets of the fu- ture lie. An yet the east was practical- lv unknown beyond a few cities along the sea-coast. He referred to the mar- velous increase in Japan's trade dur- ing the last few vears, and pointed out that the only true exit, for our west- ern production of grain, cheese, but- ter, etc, lies on the other side of the Pacific ocean. Thus concluded the interview and as the writer, bade farewell to the Japa- nese consul-general for Canada, he i away nothing but good im- preesions of that gentleman and of the wisdom and far-seeing segacity of the people of the Flowery Kingdom as 8 nation, : : Was Accidental. Mavor Sheppard, of Genanoque, in relating the accidental death of his brother, D. E. Sheppard, states the Gananoque Journal, says that he was taken home with an unfortunate dis ease, the dootor summoned and wmedi- cine loft to be given at short inter vals. Mayor Sheppard remained al- most constantly by his side, but hap- péned to leave him to go downstairs for a few minutes. In his absence Daniel got out of bed, and going into his sister's room picked up a small vial, which he supposed comtain- ed the medicine being given him, and took a dose. Jt contained ecarboli¢ acid, and realizing 'that he had made a mistake called to his hrother. Mav- or Sheppard hurried upstairs and found his brother suffering from the effects, and being told what he had taken hastened for Dr. Irving. Before he returned his brother was dead, the deadlv poison acting in less than five minutes. The Favorite Amusement. At Macdonald Park, last evening, the citizens were ' treated to another of the popular band concerts of the 14th Regimental band. The residents, as usual, turned out in large numbers to enjoy the beautiful evening bseezes, and listen to the entertainment. The surface of the water was quite smooth and all who were able availed them- selves of the privilege of listening from the river, The keen enjoyment derived by the people from these con- certs i$ in no wise diminishing and the ovening for which they are slated one looked forward to with delight. May Be Vacancies. There will be a few vacancies for cadets in September next at the Royal Military "College. Paragraph fourteen of the regulations reads as follows : Should there not be a suf- ficient number of successful candidates ut. the yearly examination, matricu- lauts in the faculty of arts at any chartered university in the Dowdnion of Canada, will be accepted on pro- duction of satisfactory evidence of their matriculation within the pre- vious twelve months. { Sir Richard Heard From. A close friend of Sir Richard Cart- right's in Ottawa, writing to a friend in Montreal, says there is absolute ly no truth in the report that Sir Richard Cartwright is about to leave cabinet, In fact he states that Sir Richard is still taking a deep interest in polities, and will probably stay with the government just as long as his health will permit, i In City Waters. The city has a slight grievance against the village of Barriefield or rather a resident thereof. A cow died there recently of a disease common to cattle and to get rid of the animal some person or persons towed it out into the water between Richardsons' elevator and the point. There it now floats and the city will have to re move the nuisance. -- Puffed rice crisp "McConkey's" cn- ly at Gibson's Red Cross drug store.

Spoor, Grant, Franklin, Ston- " Freeman, , Black and ess, ¥ Cox, chairman, The solicitor suggest ed that while the crossing was ad- mittedly dangerous, that the danger came from the duplication of tracks and the remedy. should be made by the Grand Trunk railway eompany. The uestion was eked "by Councillor ranklin, if the road company could not force the building of the subway. The solicitor pointed out that the uestion was as to whether, when it is Goubtiul if the railways committee had power to impose a jon of the cost of municipalities county ~ should urge the maiter. If on appeal the county held the commission had no jurisdiction in the question of costs, then the city and eouncil could tum around to the railway commission, and point ont to them that they had decided a subway necessary and ask that the Granél Trunk be made to build it. The position of the railwav was that they were willing to go on with the building of the subway, but they were not going to complete the work and then when thev came to ask the municipalities for their share of the cost to = be met with an appeal against the validity of the railwav committee's rulinig. The case seemed to be in the opinion of those present that neither county nor city would par unless they had to. City Solicitor Mcintyre still held that the canse of the danger came from the railway and they should remedy the evil. He ad- vised that a resolution be passed ask- ing a delay in the case, especially in view of the litigation going on in il.the. consid i. until " eration of the validity of the com- mission's ruling had become more cer tain. This is practically what the Grand Trunk are now asking. On mo- tion of Councillor E. Freeman, second- ed hy Councillor Pringle. the county was instructed to confer with the citv solicitor and draft a letter to Mr. Biggar, counsel for the G.T.R., ex- pressing the willingness of the countv council that construction of the sub- wav at Kingston Junetion should be deferred and time for completion of same enlarged until the final determ- ination of the litigation now pending concerning liability of Toronto to pay under similar order.
