He expressed the belief that the Rule was originally the honest conviction of Hon placed there in an honest de sire to Stem the tide of worldliness of which the Church was Ever in danger but in this purpose or. Cleaver thought it a. Failed. What therefore out to be done he thought they had need to go to the basal Prin Ciple of protestantism Ami christianity and accept the written word As the Only sufficient Rule for life Faith "n-1 practice. This was authority unquestionable. I dare not put the Standard declared the preacher and no Man can raise it higher. Toronto oct. City Council to Day took decisive action on the Coal question in View of the continuance of the strike. The Council voted for the Purchase of Coal for the charitable institutions of the City the Supply of fuel in Small quantities to citizens. This action was taken because the Council believes dealers in putting the Price of soft Coal up to and a ton Are Tak ing advantage of the necessities of citizens. At the suggestion of the mayor who has tried ineffectually to induce the Dominion Coal co. To ship to Toronto a Resolution was passed petitioning the Dominion government to expropriate a part of the Coal lands leased for a term that really Perpetu Ity by the Nova Scotia government to the Dominion coa.1 co. The Council recognizes that it has no Power to Deal in Coal but expects the legis lature to give Active Legal Sanction when it meets. Mayor Lowland received a Cable from Wales during the Day offering to Lay tons of Coal in Montreal at is shillings per ton for Large lumps and 22 for Small. C. P. President s opinion. Montreal oct. Thomas Shaughnessy has put himself on re Cord ill connection with the Coal strike and the proposition that a Solu Tion can be found in British Columbia. All the Anthracite Coal British Columbia mines can says sir Thomas is required in such in emergency As the Coal famine to such an extent As to be of no material assistance to the people Down Here. Obviously it is not the transportation of the Mineral but in getting it out of the pits that is the difficulty and that difficulty seems to be insurmountable. At fort William even the Supply has to come from the East and there Are yet tons to be delivered there for use in the coming Winter the Public sentiment of the Community will compel the opposition forces to come to a settlement before very Ottawa solves the problem. Ottawa oct. Is Busy provision against a fuel the City has out orders for Anthracite Coal from Wales soft Coal from Nova Scotia and has Pur chased Large supplies of Wood irom the surrounding District. A ship ment of tons of Anthracite will arrive Here Early in. November and 10000 tons of Nova Scotia Coal can be had on Short notice. The City has purchased about cords of Wood 1 and has men scouring the country for More it is considered now that the problem As As Ottawa is con reined is solved independently of the United states altogether. Canadian Market first. Montreal oct. Shields of tha Dominion Coal company who is in the City speaking in regard to the report sent out from Toronto that the Ropoc by would not Supply the City Sitty sol but would sell it in the United states said that they were not Selvine any Large quantities Coal in he United states they were pro nip a by a Canadian concern and would Sipply the Canadian Market first. If Tley had any surplus product they would sell it where they could As heretofore. Or. Sargent s visit former chief of locomotive brotherhood is Roosevelt s confidante. Washington oct. Was Only one development importance in tha Coal strike situation to Day. Frank p. Sargent commissioner of immigration Tor Many years chief of tha brotherhood of locomotive firemen had a Long interview with president Roosevelt and left Washington soon afterwards. Jar. Sargent indicated that the interview concerned the Coal strike but he would not discuss tha mutter. From the fact that he always has been Inigue tial with labor organizations it is generally believed that a is entrusted with a message to presi Dent Mitchell of the miners Union. It is also said that or. Sargent is to meet or. Mitchell in Philadelphia and deliver the message of the president urging that the miners end the Strylka in the interests of the Public. While Many propositions have been under discussion it is almost certain that the administration is taking up Only one plan at a time. The present plan is that outlined in the associated press despatch saturday and sunday and contemplates an end of the strike by the action of president Mitchell and his associates and a. Full gation the Mir ing conditions later. No Hope is entertained that anything can be accomplished through the Coal operators since the attitude they tools at the conference Friday. Should Tho movement now on foot fail there seems to be no other plan which presents a feasible solution of the serious problem. While it is generally believed that president Roosevelt has sent a direct Appeal to or. Mitchell thera was n n confirmation of. Such action obtainable at the White House. How it affects Britain. Oct.
