Loening, a well-known German jurist, de- nies the right to Canada or any other country to annex the polar area, in view of the impossibil- ity of establishing anything like permanent settlements in those extreme northern latitudes.

Fumes. of Acid Cause a Death | MINERS WILL STAND FIRM In the Effort to Achieve Objects of Threatened Strike. MEDIATION _ PROCEEDS: Scarborough, Eng., July 15.--It is in an unsettled situation that the miners find themselves at the an nual conference of the Miners' Feds eration. When the conference opened it was realized that half of the ex- ecutive members had to leave for London to attend a conference there with other unions of the proposed new Labor Alliance, and the attention of other leaders of the miners is being distracted by negotiations with W. C. Bridgeman, First Lord of the Admiralty, who is acting as mediator in behalf of the Government in an effort to prevent the threatened strike. Winston Churchill, Chancellor of the Exchequer, in a speech Thursday night expressed the conviction that a solution of the difficulty between the miners and the mine owners over wages would be reached, and he sald it would be a disaster if any agreement were not arrived at. A similar spirit of hopefulness marked to-day's conference of the miners in Toronto. Toronto, July 18.--The Grim Reaper won in a race with a special train which Mrs. E. Y.

W. McLeod representing effect upon the trafic. "We congratulate and thank you for your efforts in the solution of this problem and assure you of the continued co-operation and support of this board in curtailing the smug- gling trafic with the aid of the new powers now available."

The Queen's bacteriologist, who ex- amines the water daily, says the sup- ply is quite safe, but admits that the. taste may be a little out of the ordinary in hot weather. Some peo- ple are adepts at tasting, while oth- ers drink the same water and find nothing out of the ordinary. u Cc The deluge of Thursday gave ad- ditional assurance of good crops. When rain comes during the first fortnight of July there is little chance of growth being retarded by later droughts. .
