What Landing Means. A London eable: The Japanese hnd-l ing at Dekastmes, whuich is the terminus . of the only eable tme connecting the mainland with the Istind of Sakhalin, is vesurded by the Londcr morning news papers as an attempt to seize the mouth of the Amur River in order to enable the Japanese to despatch an army up that great waterway to threaten the Russian communieations, Japanese gunâ€" boats and torpedo boats could thus reach Harbin and give effectual assistâ€" ance to any tificatians. Both the Both the Ussuri and Sungari Rivers are navigable for vessels of light draught, and thus the Japanese could advance inland in three different direcâ€" tions for a considerable distance. If, as is supposed, Japan has a river expediâ€" tion in readiness, the mere threat of its advance may suffice to change the plans of the Russians and compel the rctirement from the Kirin and Fenghwa distrcits upon Harbin.

Legal judgments have been given such as limit the scope of the appliâ€" cability of the act. New tgidation will be necessary. A conflict of opinion had existed prior to 1903 in the courts of Canada as to whether Lord‘s Day legislation beâ€" longed properly to the Federal or. Proâ€" vincial Legislatures. _In that year the tAtorneyâ€"General of Ontario submitted the whole question to the Court of Apâ€" peal, and that body decided, the late Justice Armour dissenting, that Onâ€" tario‘s Lord‘s Day legislation was intra vires or constitutional. _ In July, 1903, an appeal from that judgment to the Privy Council at London was made, and that court reversed the judgment of the Court of Appcal and held that the Lord‘s Day Act as passed by the Provinâ€" cial Le',,ris{vature of Ontario ‘was ultra i"i'ies, Tming the peculiar . language "treated as a whole" the Lord‘s Day Act was ultra vires of the Province of Onâ€" tario. Some of the members of the Lord‘s Day Alliance were inclined to accopt the decision as final and made application to the Minister of Justice at Otawa to have legislation passed in accordance with the new situation. ‘The Minister of Justice, however, believed there was still a basis for Provincial legislation in the matter, and he declined to proceed with additional legislation until he was definitely certain regarding the relative juridiections of Province and Dominion. ‘The Department of Justice, therefore, in ovrder to. Secure more definite informaâ€" tion, submitted certain pertinent quesâ€" tions to the Supreme Court and argued that the Province had jurisdiction under the bead of property and ciyvil rights, ibut'.l of which, by the British North America Act, were reserved to the Proâ€" vinces, and that contention was supportâ€" ed by the Attorneyâ€"General of Ontario. The Supreme Court held practically that the jurisdiction was Federal, not Provinâ€" cial, _ That judgment nrot being satâ€" isfactory to the Dominion authorities, they moved to the Privy Council for right to appeal from the decision of the Supreme Court. That application has been donied. _ it may be that the lawâ€" ‘l()r<l§ regarded the: case presented to | them as being in academic form, and deâ€" [ clined to deai with it.

But for the Jews there would be no disturbances and no Kniaz Potemkine affair. Now the Jews have the impertinence to bring charges against the police." A St. Petersburg cable says: The disâ€" orders at Mizhai &o\'gorod have now continued for four days with daily eolliâ€" sions between the rival camps into which the workmen ard the rioting roughs have divided. _ But there has been no general rioting since Sunday‘s five hou‘s‘ fray. According to the Government adâ€". vices, twelve men were killed and three were fatally wounded Monday and Tuesâ€" day night. _ On Sunday night a bomb was thrown agamst the school house in the suburb of Soromovo, where a doâ€" tachment of soldiers were quartered. ‘The thrower of the bomb was killed. A reâ€" gular blood feud appears to exist beâ€" Tween the Socialistie workmen in the Soromovo district and the stevedores, brickmakers and cab drivers.

A Cherbourg cable: Although it was announced that the North German Lloyd steamer Wilheim Der Grosse Jleft the Needles at 5.30 this morning, the vessel is still here as this despatch is filed anl it is not expected that she will be able to leave Cherbourg for New York before this afternoon, owing to the denseness of the fog. M. Witte, the Russian peace plenipotentiary, who boarded the steamâ€" er here after spending the night ashore, at a hotel, whence he sent a long desâ€" patch to St. Petersburg, appears to be somewhbat annoyed at the delay, the Russian peace party© being already late when compared with the Japanese. sO0Fs The Russians were most interested in reading the press despatches@describing the arrival in New York of Baron Koâ€" mura and his party, and expressed the hope that the Japanese conditions would really be as moderate as set forth in the despatches received here. Owing to lack of accommodation at the hotels some of the passengers of the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse were compelled to spend the night on boardâ€"North German Lloyd steamship company‘s tugs, in sleeping cars at the railroad station and even on the pier. + Cause a Stampede of 3,000 Women in a Store. } Pittsburg, July 31â€"A sign creading "Men‘s overalls 10 cents; men‘s shirts, 10 cents," was put in the window â€" of Woolworth & Co‘s. store on Fifth ave: nue at noon and it caused a stampode of 3,000 women.

The fact that Premier Balfour did not in his statement on Monday say anything to indicate his intention to go to the country before the next sesson of Parâ€" liament has not _ tended to discourage the expectation of a general _ electon some time prior to Jamuary Ist. 4 Probably the Government has come to no decision in the matter, so that if Premier Balfour was disposed to anâ€" swer the queston, "When wll Parliaâ€" ment be dissolved?" he might answer truthfully, * I do not know." The expectation of an early dissoluâ€" tion is based in many minds on the beâ€" lief that the Government will be forced to dissolve, not, however, by an adâ€" verse vote in the House of Commons, bu} rather by the pressure of public og nion, and also by the pressure from the members of Mr. Balfoor‘s own Unionist party, which for one reason and another is decidedly . adverse 10 prolonging the life of the Government.
