Geneva, Sept. 21.-- 'Hands off," the reparations problem, for the mo- ment at least, was the decision reach- ed Wednesday by one of the main commissions of the league of na- tions. This decision, it is believed. will affect the entire attitude of the league assembly on this problem. It was not reached without some mur- aiurs, ' The reparations issue arose before the commission on technical organi- zations, when Sir Henry Strakosch; the eminent financial expert repre- senting South Africa, alluded to the statement at the opening of this year's assembly to the effect that the league was confronted with diffieul- ties owing to.the absence of a settle- ment of the questions of reparations and inter-ailied debts But after consulting his French and Belgian colleagues, Sir Henry said he was convinced of the advisability of. rot starting 'a debate on this delicate subject, which might aggravate the situation and hinder eventual settle- ment.

"i.--Although there has heen a commarative lull in the Mscussion of the St. Lawrence waterway project sinée Congress ad- journed last spring, the movement for it is by no means dying out in this country. In the middle west, the northwest and the Great Lakes region, the sentiment for it is ap- parently as strong as ever and when Congress convenes again, more will be Leard of it. This promises to be the more true because of the activity now of the wdvocates on development of inland waterway transportation.

Cornwall, Sept. 21. -- Cornwall's "beer garden," as it is known from one end of the province to the oth- €r, as an oasis for the thirsty, was given a death blow yesterday after- noon when thirty of the provincia; police, gathered here from District No. 6, and Chief Paterson and Offi- cer Crites of the Cornwall force, in charge of District Inspector C. A. Jordan, Ottawa, swooped down on the vendors and took mix people, one an alleged bootlegger, and the other five customers. The raid came as a big surprise, as the people who handle the intoxi- cants at the "garden" have been im- mune from molestation for so long that. a raid was the last thing they thought of. The "heer garden" is not, as its name implies, a lawn with chairs and tables and shade trees, but rather a Lunch of boathouses on the banks of the St. Lawrence where at any hour of the day or night there was always "something doicg."

Los Angeles; Oalif., Sept. 21.-- Professor MeMillan, of Chicago an- nounced that the sun will meet an- other star at a distance equal to tha distance between the earth and the sun once in every miMion billion years, a mere instant for astrono- mers. Whenever this occurs some- thing is likely to happen to the earth in its orbit. The orbit which is now practically a circle will be transfer- red into an ellipse. It is conceiy- able, he zaid, that a body might pass us in such a way that our circular orbit changes into 'a very eccentric eiipse which will make us approach the sun to less thar a tenth of the Present distance which separates us from the sun.

Western Harvest Fields. IMMIGRANTS' COMPLAINTS Are the Only Letters Pub- lished---Thousands Are Pleased With Treatment. London, Sept. 21.--Despite the as- surances of both railway officials and of the Caradian government officials that all the harvesters who went to western Canada last month are already placed and are receiv- ing good treatment, letiers continue to be published in the knglish newspapers complaining of the treatment these immigrants are re- ceiviyg.

He was required, before saflirg, to sign a form that he would complete thir- ty days of work in order to obtain a cHeap return fare of sixteen pounds.

"His brother only sucreeded obtaining four days of work." A Canadien woman, writing from Canada to her father-indaw, states that men do not know what is bé- fore them when they go to Canada, and other cases of complaint are recorded. The publicity thus given is giving rises to resentment among people who are ignorant of the conditions that exist in western Canada, and the latter fail to realize that among the 12,000 and more who left Brit- ish ports many are unfit and many are unwilling to work, Thousands of letters prajal {ment they get, and the healthy empiloy-] ment they enjoy, mever see the light. in THICKLY POPULATED. ---- 9 Persons, 15 Pigdons, 2 Cats, Dog, 2 Birds in = New York, Sept. 21.--New Yorx's East Side added further weight to its claim as a thickly-populated centre when Salvatore Crivollo ap- peared in the Essex Market Court on a charge of violating the sanitary code.

As stated previously in the Whig the fair is this year regarded by ag- ricultural experts as being one of the best in Onteflo. The judges in the various classes on exhibition are un animous in their praise of what they | have been called upon to examine. M. E. Mains, judge of beef cattle and sheep, and W. G.

They are high class officials, and in performing their duties took occasion to point out the distinguish- Ing features of the best stock, Mr. Barrie gave a lecture on dairy cattle and told the breeders why he form- ed his opinions ypon certain merits of the animals. He was greeted with applause, and the farmers expressed complete satisfaction over the awards of this ofMcial and all felt that they Tad learned something of impor- tance from him, as, indeed, they did, The Horse Races. - Mildred Harvester won the ciassi- fled trot in three straight heats, and Reta Belle, won the 2.16 pace after a gruelling race of six heats.
