NS AT PEACE Says Mr. Asquith, British Prime Ifinister Declares That the Cmpire's Relations With the Powers Are Quite Amicable--Looks For a Satisfactory Agreement With Premicr Borden--Replies to Critics of Foreizn Policy. . Tondon, July 26.--"I say deliberate- ly that we have no cause, =o far as I Know, no occasion, for quarreling with dny country in any part of the world." This statement was made by Pre- fier Asquith when speaking in the House of Commons yesterday on the estimates for a committee on Imperial defence. Contir that he vi picion or tinore than equan the special conversation, interchanges of views, such, for instance, as between Russia and Germany. Our relations with the grec Empire were relations of amity and good-will. Mr. Faldane, the Lord Chancellor, had paid a visit to Berlin earlier in the year and had entered into conversation and interchanges of views. These had been continued sirce in a spirit of frankness and friend- $aip on both sides. and we have now in London a distinguished diplomat- jst whom the German emperor had sent to our court. Reviewing the composition and the work of the committee since the vote was last discussed in the Hone of the Prime Minister said without the least sus- di and with t German som atl 0 occasions, nity for showing the elas- % ty of its composition. Last year . they had the pleasure of summoning the Premiers of all the self-governing dominions to their meeting, and he did not think there ever was a more significant or more momentous occa- sion. The second occasion was when | leagues attended the meeting last week. He was glad to say that they would attend again next week and he hoped that they would arrive at some satisfactory agreement He declared that international rela- | tions were being conducted now, as in the past decade tled and definite lines Shifted to the right or to the leit dur ing the whole of that time they?

Bonar Law, who followed Mt. As- quith's speech in the House of Com- mons on Imperial defence, expressed special plea at the perticipation of the seli-governing dominions in the conference and paid a tribute to Hon Mr. Borden, who, he said, hed shown i to assist 3 portant Canada's co-operation in pe . if there was war within the Empire the problem of her participation in the fo n end neval palicy could and musi be 86lved LIZalne the sol tion would stand for the continued existenne of the British Empire and for the peace of the world.

The Foreign Sacretary reminded the House that nothing caused more sus- icion in the public mind in Germany an the idea that proposals were be- ing made to the German Government for a limitation of armaments.

G. Herbert, of Ottawa. traveling immigration in. spector for the Dominion Government," was shot and instantly killed yester. | day afternoon by a cripplied alien, to | whom he had refused admittance to Canada. William Ferguson, a BScotchman, was the murderer. He shot Herbert, when the latter was crossing the river | to Detroit, firing four bullets. Every! shot lodged in the inspectste head, ! causing immediate death. The shooting oocurred on the ferry boat Excelsior, shortly after the boat had pulled away from the Canalian shore. The murderer was arrested in De- troit and held by the police. He will be extradited if it is shown the crime was committed while the ferry boat was in Canadian waters. If the killing was done in American waters Fergu- son will face a penalty of life im- prisonment, according to the laws of the State of Michigan, as egainst a death sentence if he is tried in Can: rE 3 _F, pa. nob in-bhe custody ent in the Windsor immigration office when Ferguson was questioned and told that he would have to return to the United States because of physical trouble.

Ottawa, July 26.--News of the mur- der of Henry G. Herert, Dominion im- migration inspector, on a ferry cross. ing from Windsor to Detroit yester. day afternoon, came as a shock to his many friends and acquaintances here. Herbert, who was born in London, Eng., in 1873, was a man who had seen much of the world. For a time he waa in the employ of the New Zealand Government, where he first emigrated. Coming to Canada in 1898, he went west at the time of the Klondyke rush, and having had considerable mining experience, received the appointment of mining recorder of the Yukon. A few years ago his wife died there, and, becoming weary of the life away from civilization, he came to Ottawa and received his appointmsnt as trav- eling inspector for the immigration branch of the Department of the In- terior. He was a close friend of W. W. Cory, Deputy Minister of the Interior, and of F. 3 Congdon, ex-M.P. for the Yukon. Although he had many friends here, it is a peculiar thing that none of them know anything about his relatives. Bryan's Job to Worry Teddy. New York, July 28.--A despatch from Bea Girt, N.J., says: The quesiien as to what is to be- come of William Jennings Bryan in the Democratic national campaign was seemingly answered here yester- day when close political advisers of Governor Wilson let it be known that Mr. Bryan's assignment would be to worry and harass the "bull moose' candidate and to follow him into every debatable state. The assignment of Bryan to take care of Col. Roosevelt is regarded here as one in which the Nebraskan will take great joy. It is known that Bryan has regarded Roosevelt as a trespasser upon Democratic pre- serves, ani the Wilson forces expect him to make a brave showing as a defender of his party's rights to carry out in office the things which Bryan advocated long before Col. Roosevelt decided that he, too, would take them up. Lord Devonport Guarded. New York, July 26.--A cable from London says: Twenty-four policemen Jeeigidsy mountéd guard over Lord evohpg: i's residence and the park which surrounds it. Another detail patrolled the approaches to the park. Lord Devonport is the employer for whose death thousands of striking dock workers prayed publicly on Tow- er Hill Wednesday. The precautions were taken for fear of an attempt to assassinate him. Public sentiment was in a measure turning strongly in the strikers' favor yesterday, because the evidence of their own and their families' frightful sufferings could not but create the ut- most horror and compassion. In support of the dock workers, oth- er unions also were beginning to talk of sympathetic strikes, which it was feared might ultimately become gen- eral Oock Strike at Fort William. Fort William, July 26--Alleging that several of their number had not been siven credit for work performed, the nadian Pacific coal dock employes, numbering 800, quit work yesterday morning. Operations have been dis- continued, but the tie-up is not viewed with much concern by the. company officials, in view of the fact that the coal rush is not due for several weeks. A meeting was held yesterday after noon, during which an effcrt was made to adjust the dispute. Another Naval Conference. London, July 26.--(C.A.P.

The famous cannon foundry of | Krupp, at Essen, was establistred in 1811 by Frederick Krupp, who aban- doued a successful grocery business at the fostigation of two brothers named Von Kechel fu order to devote himself to the manufacture of cast steel. ! The process was then unkoown In Germany, and the article itself went guder the nume of "English steel" be- cause It wax imported from England. Krupp bad money, and the Kechels bad or pretended to have technleal knowl edge. Tie firm started its operations tn an old water power mill at Altenes- sen. The experiments of the Von Kechels were unsuccessful. For nearly two years they did thelr best, but.all their efforts to produce English steel" failed. In the end Krupp decided to- 'get tld of {bew after having spent oes | Ralf of his fortune in experiments and took over the management of the work himself. For a tong time he had no luck, and it was only after rome years of disap: peintment aod labor that a satisfactory etal wag produced. It was under his son Alfred that the business first real 1y began to flourish, Its exhibit at the London exposition of 1851 revealed to the world that a little known German firm was producing iron and steel that could not be bettered by the industry of any other country. Orders from the Prussian government followed, cud the name and fortune of the firm were made.~-- Philadelphia Inquirer. --_-- Built In Blood. The winter palace of the czars was built in blood. Almost every stone of 'the walls and every square yard of the plaster lining them cost a life. Nich- olas had given the order that the pal- ace must be rebuilt in a year, and what was human life against the des pot's will? Six thousand men were kept at work day and night, with the palace heated at 80 R. to dry the walls rapidly, while the temperature outside was often 30 degrees below zero IL The men could only work with ice packs on their beads, and, experienc- lug a daily change of 60 degrees, they died by the score every day, By the end of the year the death roll was some thousands, but the palace was finished. | Se Vin Uislike Male Doctors.

STEWART, 299 Hum- boldt St., Brooklyi, N.Y. THE JAPAN OF TO-DAY IT HAS GONE AHEAD MARVEL- LOUSLY AYS A TRAVELER. A Sort of Paterail Socialism Has Grown Up Because the Govern: ment Simply Needed the Money to Be Made Out of Public Utilities-- People Hava a High Respect For the Govérnmoant. No Government in the world com- mands more genuine respect from the people than that of Japan. The Government consists of the Emperer, the unofficial body known as the El- der Statesmen, the Privy Council, the Cabinet and the Diet. The Emperor is Tuptaine, Between him and his subjects the line has been drawn for approximately twenty centuries. But the rulers have ai- most without excepticn shown the rreatest consideration for the people. fhe people on their part have shown foyalty even unto death for their govereign. The relations of Emperor and pen- ple nay be likened to those cf parent and child. The people worship the Emperor and the Kmperor his own ancestors. Tlie transcendentalism of the present Emperor is very difficult for a westerver to understand. But the reverence shown bim is entirely Iy no living ruler i nt Emperor. 3 The leadership of the Japanese Government is nowhere better exem- plified than in the progressive steps it has taken along ihe lines of State Socialism. It owns and operates the postofices, telephones, telegraphs, wireless, gas, electricity, water, rail- roade and the tobsceo, salt and eam- hor monopolies. It subsidizes many ting such as shipping, bank- ng, ete. Indeed, the ramifications of the Government are to be scen every- where. Japan has gone into these Bocialistic measures; bowever, not from any eonvetdion to the tenets cf Bocialism, but because she has want. ed to make rorey. A good part of the national income comc: from the operation of public utilities and tnonopolies. The educational system is n.odelled on western methods. Two genera- tions ago only twenty-eight per cent. of the children of school age attend- ed school. In 1893 the percentaue rose to filty-nine. To-day it is ninety- eight. Universal education has been in existence for about sixty )ears, and tiow every child must go to school for at least six ycats. To-day there is less illiteracy in Tokio than in many European cities. 1 shall never forget the visits 1 made to some of the schoole. Every classroom had a sunny southern ex- posure. The buildings were all one- story affairs, so that there would be no danger of death in case of fire. Every hour the pupils leave their rooms tn go out of doors, where they practice athletics and calisthenics for a qtiatter of an hour under a profes- sional instructor. You will always seo, therefore, ene-quarter of auy schoo! playing in the school yard.
