FINEST IN THE WORLD. @ibe Russian Opinion of the Turkish Army. St. Petersburg, March 2--Some mublicists are of the opinion that only t@he sternest language towards Turkey can prevent a war between Russia and Mfurkey in the spring. They belicve that Turkey will pursue bands of Mace- donian revolutionaries across the Bul- garian frontier, and that public opin- jon will compel Russia to interfere. (Phe Russians thoroughly understand that a war with Turkey will be a more severe one than than in 1878. Iheers are quoted as sayi: 1g that the Turkish army is the best in the world owing to its German organization and arma- ment. There is an inclination here to anticipate German financial support ot urkey, and in view of the situation forebodings oi a clash with Tnrkey are freely expressed in private, although they are carefully suppressed in the newspapers. , ENIFE BLADES AND NAILS. x Patient at a Buffalo Hospital Full Steel and Glass.

A heavy rainstorm prevailed all day, but the workers managed to bring out a larger vote than at the former Provincial contest. umberland County 'Premier Tweedie failed to carry his ticket, but he managed to be elected himseli, be- ing third on the list.

Vancouver, March 2.--This has been anything but a day of rest for the Cana- dian Pacific western officials on the one hand and for thestriking. members of the United Brotherhood of Railway Empjoyees on the other. Only the Clerical staff at present is actually out, but the machinists, carmen, freight- handlers, etc., held meetings to-day and arranged to follow, while Revelstoke and Nelson, in fact all the centres in the Pacific division, including the Koo- tenay branches, have been notified and will strike to-morrow. e conduc- tors, brakemen, engineers and teleg- raphers had not yet formally amalgam- ated with the brotherhood, and are thus unaffected, while, despite telegraphic advice from Winnipeg, that the brotherhood forces there but await the word, ba as been ordered, in conseq of consideration shown he "brothérhoad by - General Superintendent Leonard, to stay their hands temporarily.

The minor issue immediately ae pig the strike, has already en quite lost sight of, so far as the company are concerned: their efforts are now concentrated upon annihila- tion of the brotherhood, and General Superintendent Marpole is quoted as saying that the company will spend a million if need be in pressing the fight successfully to the bitter end. In support of their contentton that the company forced the present col- lision to crush the brotherhood ere it had completed organization, the men point to the circumstance that men im- ported from ontreal to take the Strikers' places arrived here to-cay to the number of 35, the strike having only been ordered .on Friday after- noon. Other substitutes for the strik- ing clerks are being recived from Seat- tle and are being boarded on their car in the yards here. The men declare that, nevertheless, the company's' busi- ness will be absolutely blocked with- out their expert service, and that not- ably it will be impossible to handle the Empress ot India's cargo when that big liner arrives from the Orient on Tuesday.
