The above will show that the unique conditions which marked the inception of the pilgrimage unprecedented As they were have been handled with Energy and judgment by the of certain diverse views As to to the Wisdom of settling the Dou Kobors in communities but they Are unanimous in their commendation of the Meas ures taken during the present crisis. They Are a unit m endorsing tie action taken with a View to the amelioration of the sufferings of the mis guided victims of religious mania. During the first Days of the so Journ in Yorkton nothing could be done but to solve the immediate prob lems of feeding and sheltering eleven Hundred people. That pressing ques Tion having been arranged a Nev stage of tie i lieu Ity has been reach of getting the women an children Back to their Homes. Action in this regard will be taken immediately.

I a this arrangement it is expected that almost one half of those at pres ent in the Yorkton shelters will be disposed of by the end of the week and thus a. Corresponding portion of the Diin Ouhy As fur As the women and children Are concerned solved satisfactorily. Plans Are now under advisement for the disposition of the remaining Moiety. On the pilgrims Trail. Meantime As he Corn stated. The Man Are Marchinik steadily East. Yesterday morning 1 chartered a team and drove relays to overtake them leaving Yorkton after an Early break fast. Night had been cold. The undulating Prairie swept in wide spread expanses to the far horizon. Here and there Square purple Black patches marked the Farmer s preparation for another seed time and Ligh Ter areas the spots whence the Golden Grain had recently been reaped. At wide int rivals the landscape was dotted Wilh dome shaped monuments of the country s Fertility and the Industry of its tillers. It was the time of the Sere the yellow lean. Che Brown grass Lay Long and withered everywhere encrusted and Bediz ened with the fairy filigree of Frost and sparkling like diamonds in the colds rays of this Winter Sun. The keen Crisp air had in it a stimulus and invigoration known nowhere but on the Prairie. The buggy bowled smoothly Over the winding Trail the wheel boxing purring and bumming gently with the rapid motion. The team stretched to its work As if they enjoyed it. Well wrapped up in furs i was enjoying the Bright sky the boundless View and the comfortable going when the Driver recalled to me the pilgrims we were following and whom i had for the time forgotten. This is where we hit their he said to looked. The narrow buggy track had spread out to a breadth of thirty feet. The grass was beaten Down almost Flat. On the Trail itself and for two Yards on either Side not a Blade of vegetable life was to be seen. Here and there the Breeze had not yet blown Over and obliterated the prints of naked feet in the dust though they had passed three Days before. This was the Spoor of the track now a Hundred Miles via Dolorosa in very truth. It marked much More than a. Mere route of travel. It was not simply will not repeal embargo. Canadian cattle to be treated on the same basis As those of foreign nations. London nov. The commons to Day in reply to a question from sir Stohn Leng member for Dundee with regard to the removal of the restrictions on the importation of Canadian cattle or. Hanbury president of the Board of agriculture said that the act of 1305 prohibited the importation of All cattle alike and that he had no in Tention of proposing its repeal King Edward will interest the people in the exposition. Washington d.c., nov. General Corbin has received a letter from sir Thomas Lipton in which the general is informed that sir Thomas has greatly interested himself in the St. Louis exposition. He informs the general that he has had an inter View with King Edward and that his majesty has indicated that he will name a special commission to attend the exposition and that the i Migash government will take Steps to interest the people in the exposition. It is expected that the Prince of Wales will be named the head of the special embassy. The matter has already become the subject of Diplo Matic correspondence Between the British foreign office ambassador Choate who no doubt will communicate with Secretary Hay. Sir Thomas Lipton has represented to the King that the cordial relations Between the United states and great Britain will be strengthened if the United King Dom is Well represented at the Corning exposition. P. O. Deficit is now a surplus sir William. Mulock s address before the Mulock club in policy of postage reduction fully backing Down on their Tariff revision and tarte to speak to night. Ottawa nov. Sir win. Mulock important Blue Book out official record of colonial conference ministers take a determined stand on preferential Trade made an important speech before the Mulock club in the course of which he said that the tory deficit of 000 a year in the Post office depart ment had been wiped out the rate of postage reduced to two cents All round and the department has for the fiscal year just closed not a deficit of a Dollar but for the first time in the history of the country a a Large one but still a Over . In View of this result he added you will think me justified in prophesying that to night ends the attacks of our opponents upon us for having cheapened the rates of postage to every citizen of Canada. Of compulsory arbitration Malonff the line of his Bill in the House last session which now stands for discus Sion by the people. Sir William said in View of the Anthracite Coal strike 1 hardly think one would be charge Able with rashness in expressing the opinion that there should be in can Empire. The Trade and the Flag Are inseparable and the political party which in consideration of Trade turns its Back upon the hag is unworthy of the Confidence of the Loyal citizens of our an explanation. I i of Art inn in the Ada a tribunal having Power to in opposed reciprocity or action on uie Vest Gate full Dustral at least part of Britain or a change in the fiscal policy. See that no depredations of any kind Are committed and that any sick Are cared for and dead buried. Con stables Fyffe and Tremaine leave Early to Morrow monday to guard London nov. Blue Book of the colonial conference does not add much to what is already the Resolution on the subject of preferential Trade is the most interesting part of Tho report to America. In that Resolution the conference recognizes that preferential Trade Between the United kingdom and the colonies would stimulate and facilitate com Merce and strengthen the Empire that in the present circumstances of the colonies it would not he practicable to adopt a general system of free Trade that with a View How Ever to promoting an increase of Trade within the Empire it is Desir Able that those colonies which have not already adopted such a policy should As tar As their circumstances permit give substantial treatment 10 the products and manufactures of the United kingdom. I four premiers urge an Imperial Grant to colonial products and manufactures giving preferential treatment in the United kingdom by exemption from or reduction of duties. Five premiers present at the conference undertake to submit to their respective governments at the earliest Opportunity a request that us ii Meas ures be taken As May be necessary to give effect to the principle of this Resolution. Preferences suggested. A memorandum from the president of the Board of Trade shows that the premiers were prepared to recommend preferential treatment on British goods As follows Canada the existing preference of 33 -3 per cent and an additional preference on selected articles by reducing the duties in favor of the United kingdom raising duties on foreign imports and placing duties on certain foreign imports now free. New zealand .10 per cent All round reduction on present duties of Brit ish goods. Cape Colony and Natal. Per cent preference on British goods. Australia was not in a position to kingdom and the colonies and be i tween the colonies to countries where in a corresponding Trade is carried in ships of their own nationality. The conference adopted resolutions advocating the use of the metric system and the reservation by the government ill future agreements of the right to Purchase cables and the i insertion in new shipping agreements of provisions to prevent excessive freight charges or any preference in favor of foreigners. Canada s attitude. The Radical attitude of the Cana Dian ministers in favor of preferential Trade was shown throughout the con Ference. The canadians definitely urged upon colonial Secretary Chamberlain that in consideration of the substantial preferences Given by can Ada to the products of great Britain Canadian exports of food products ought to be exempted from the duties imposed this year by great Britain. Or. Chamberlain did not agree with this proposal. He said he did not be Lieve that there would follow any material result to the of the United kingdom on account of the granting of preferential Trade by Canada great the Canadian ministers claimed this Trade 14 lie and he declined to agree to such a departure from the fiscal policy of the Empire. Imperial defence. The Blue Book shows also that owing to differences of opinion among the different colonies no decision was reached on the question of Imperial military defences. The Secretary for War or. Brodrick in a speech in which he urged the colonies to perfect their military forces insisted that it would never do. In any future War to count on having an enemy Likely to enable great Britain to make up during hostilities the deficiencies found at the Start. He said the Boers had neglected at the b3ginning of the South african War Many obvious opportunities and although the Home and colonial levies had improved enormously after a few months ser vice it would have Beer unfair to place men in the condition in which they were sent to South Africa against in Case of such far reaching import Ance As railway disputes and disputes connected with the industries of a monopolistic character which May control the actual necessaries of life. Whether such a measure should go so far As to Mike the award legally binding both parties is another matter. It seems essential to the Suc Cess of any such measure that it i should have the moral support of pah i lie opinion and therefore perhaps it i would be better to rest at that and not adopt Legal i the Tariff. Of the preferential Tariff and the i declarations of some of the tory Lead ers favouring the repeal he said our opponents declare it As their fixed resolve if possible to compel its repeal. Fancy such a policy from the leaders of a party that once claimed monopoly of Loyal and British senti ment in Canada. How soon have they forgotten the teaching of their great Leader sir John a. Macdonald and departed from his ways. In taking such a course they practically expel from their ranks those conservatives of the John Macdonald school who loyally recognize Canada s duty to wards the Mother country and the manufacturers association Issue an other circular on Tariff revision. Toronto nov. Prompt de capitation of or. Tarte and the Indica Tion of Liberal hostility to a Tariff re vision Campaign apparently induced the publication of the following Cir Cular by the manufacturers association signed by k. Mcnaught chairman of the Tariff committee As some misapprehension apparently exists regarding the Tariff Cir Cular sent out by this association on oct. 14, we thought it proper to explain its objects More fully. It says exactly what it says. Mem Bers of the Canadian manufacturers association of both political parties Are unitedly desirous that the question of the Tariff should be removed from the Public Arena and dealt with Al ways upon purely business lines. They feel that Only in this Way can its stability be secured and without this requite will never to Able to Progress at a commensurate with her magnificent and resources. It is the desire of the Tariff com Mittee therefore to secure a full and free expression of individual opinion from every member of the association regarding the Tariff that every Itei shall be dealt with solely upon its own merits and from a purely Canadian standpoint. This does not necessarily mean that the duty should be increased on every article. On the contrary it will possibly be found that while some items ought to be raised. Others again should either remain As they Are at present or be reduced As circumstances seem to warrant. It is a matter of business and should be carried out solely with that end in to night s banquet Montreal nov. Wilfrid Lau Rier will arrive in the City to Morrow morning to attend the banquet of the faculty 01 Laval University in the evening. Sir Wilfrid Laurier and or. J. I. Tarte will respond to the Toast of our sudden death on n. W. Ranch John c. Martin formerly of Quappelle accidentally killed near Maple Creek by a gun discharge. In the extent of the preference to j european troops. The whole present Defin be Given. Another Resolution emphasized the desirability of considering the refusal of the privileges of the coasting Trade including Trade Between the United organization of the War office was directed said or.
