Cause of Improved Tone Was the Favorable Agricultural Re- ports--Ottawa Wants a Technical School. Ottawa, Aug. 28.--Ottawa is taking steps to impress on the minister of education that it is willing to do its part towards having one of the pro- posed technical schools in the eity. Industrial and labor conditions showed an improvement during July, as compared with the: preceding month. Railway employéés were taken on in large numbers and there was ah increase in the output of munnfaotiis- ing establishments and in the ' general demand for labour. Railroad compgn- jos were giving employment to several thousand men. Buildings and improve- ments were increased in volume. The cause of the improved tone was in large part the continued favordble report with regard to the agricultural prospects. Crops in the provinee give promise of big yields, those of 1907 being beaten. The fishing and lamber- ing industries were' somewhat quiet, and the colliers of Nova Scotia and the metal camps of British Columbia have had a prosperous month. A sur- plus of unskilled labor was reported at certain points, but the amount was less than in June and in some locali- ties a scarcity of men was reported after the beginning of harvesting. As in the previous months of the season, the volume of immigration was much Jess than at the corresponding period of 1907. There was a marked decrease in the number of trade disputes in Canada during the month of July compared with previous months, dnd very few of them had any rious effects on" in- dustry. St. George, N.B., continues to be affected by a strike of granite cutters and at Toronto building oper- ations were delayed by a general strike of plastbrers duritig the greater part of the month. | The 'loss of time to employees through trdde disputes, during July, whs approximately, 21, 000 working dayk, compared with a loss of 82,527 days/in 'June and 81,- 100 in July, 1907. 40,000 MURDERED. Young Turk's Allegation Against the Secret Police. London, Aug. 28.--Mohammed Du- moulin, one of the founders of the Young Turkey movement, who is. now in London, has given in an interview an interesting account of this move- ment. » He says that the organization has nothing whatever te do with the so- called Young Turks of Paris, but was formed as n secret society in October, 1904, as a last resort to free Turkey from the thraldom of the secret po- lice, by whose machinations thousands of the best. men in Turkey disappear- ed. Aecording to his estimate 40,000 men have been so disposed of. He relates that forty men «were brought from the tower to the shores of the Bosphorus One evening. He heard them screaming at night time, and next mdrning all had disappear- ed. On another occasion a German steamer lying in the Bosphorus, on weighing her anchor, drew up several torpses. The captain of the steamer received a large bribe from the police not'to mention the matter, "The sultan has been wrongly blamed for this condition of affairs,' he said : "'he is surrounded by a cam- arilla and can trust nobody, and had he attempted to reform the govern- ment alone, he would undoubtedly have been assassinated." IN BAD CONDITION. What Strikers Say of the C.P.R. Rolling "Stock. Aug. 28.--The ¢dmmittee of managing C.P.R. mechanics are sotting the machinery in motion, through "Alphonse Veérville, M.P., to bring to the notice df 'thé' commission claims which are made on' behalf. of the strikers that the C.P.R. rolling stock is getting into bad' condition as the outeotie 'of their trouble and to--=weh an extent that the reputation of the commissioners are being affect- ed. The strike committee claims that in one instance a locomotive was sent out from the Outremont yard without its air brakes in working order. Montreal, Death At Atkinson.

Ont, Aug. .--Harry Cline, the little Yhirteen-vear-old son of W. A. Cline, of this town, is be- ing Spo as a hero. While swimming across the Thames river, east of here, with his eight- year-old son, Melvin, on his back, Harry's father was seized with a cramp. He became unconscious and sank with the youngster. i Harry, who was on the bank, strip~ ped off his clothing, and, diving, res- cued both father and brother from the fifteen feet of water that is found at that spot. Mr. Cline and his three boys out fishing and were attempting to cross the river in order to make a short cut to town when the accident happened.

Shaver heard a peculiar charge of horse stealing. Two young men named Wileocks and Win- ger, of Port Credit, became exceeding- ly drunk lon the night of August 14th and despairing of getting home, took a horse and buggy belonging to Mr. Kee, Cooksville, [rom the shed in , Jwhich it was tied during the progress of a garden party at Ihixie, and drove off. Recovering from: their spree next morning they found themselves at Waterdown, and 'were later on arrest- ed for the theft - of the animal. As everything pointed... to pa srunken frolic, with. ne avidencerof actual theft, the prisoners were found guilty techhically only. and det off on pended sentence. sus- SAFE ROBRED IN HULL. ------ Game Worked on Lady Alone in Store. Ottawa, Aug. 28.--A safe was rob- bed in Hull, vesterday, inthe middle got a two-dollar hill changed in the store of. J. M. Jsaverdue hy Miss La- verdue, who was in: charge alone. few minutes later a. working man en- tered and asked if. he eould store some tools in a shed behind the store hours. The young woman she for a few went to open the shed, and when returned the man was gone with the contents of the safe. It is presumed that the man who got the bill changed and the one who made off with thé money were confederates. Complaint About Horse. Inspector 'Arniel, of the Humane Society, received an anonymous let- ter, in which the writer complained about a horse on one of the ice wag- gons, being ill-u%ed. The inspector made an investigation into the case, and could find no evidence -of any of the horses used in this work being ill-treated. People who have com- plaints to "offer the inspector would convey a great favor, if they would sign their name to the letters, so that all the necessary enquiries, otherwise cannot be followed up so closely.
