The fact that Minneapolis is a great
metropolitan city is never more thor
oughly borne in upon her citizens than
when they go away from home and re-
turn to compare her institutions with
those of ether cities. The great de-
rartnent stores that have revolution
lied the world of trade stand out most
prominently in the eyes of shoppers,
and they are brought face 10 face with
the fact that their stores at home Of
fer the very choicest articles of the
worlds marts, they are convinced of
the greatness Of Minneapolis. Yester-
day thousands of delighted ladies and
gentlemen paid a visit to Donaldson's
Glass Block, a department store that
is known in every hamlet in Mime
sofa. The occasion was the spring
opening Of that great establishment,
and every element that could condu3e
to the elaborate display was in evil
dence
DonaldSOn's openings are always an
event of great Importance to the peo-
pie Of Minneapolis, for on those occa-
sions everything that can delight the
eye is there displayed for their in
spection The best of everything
would be an appropriate motto for such
department store. And there is al
ways a commendable ambition upon
the part of the management to eclipse
all previous efforts in the line of mag
nificent adornment.
The great store last night presented
a scene of unrivaled beauty. From
basement to dome it was agiow with
electric lights and the dazzling splendor
of a great ladies' toilet showed in all
parts of the house.
The store was most attractively
dressed. Neatness and elegance met
the beholder at every hand, and such
a bewildering display of lovely things.
dear to the feminine eye, is seldom
seen in America, for it takes Western
enterprise to do things on such lavish
scale.
While all departments presented a
most pleasing spectacle, the mammoth
millinery display, which blOomed like
a great garden Of flowers, was per-
haps the most exquisite. The most
artistic disposition Of the pretty things
had been made. The booths We're
marVels of artistic coloring, and the
air was full of blossoms. On the op-

roses made the air heavy, which was,
in turn, rendered melodious by a fine
musical programme. The Third regi-
ment band at Fort Smelling gave two
grand concerts during the afternoon
and evening for the main part of the
store, while the Pickannini band and
the "Swanne Ribber' quartette con-
tributed delightful selections from the
annex in the basement There was
entertainment for both eyes and ears

COMMERCE SEEKS PEACE.
Allied Chambers of Great Britain
Favor International Arbitration

LONDON, March 25.-At the banquet
of the Associated Chambers of Com
merce tonight Sir A. K kollit presid-
ed. Charles Ritchie president of the
board of trade, in his address, dwelt
upon the feeling antagonist!c to a con-
tict with the United States in the pres
ent difficulty. The position had led
to the hope, he said, that there would
be soon happy solution. The govern
ment had always desired to solve the
difficulty by arbitration within lines
which, it was believed, would be ap-
proved by Englishmen. The govern
ment went further. and said that it
would be glad to found a permanent
board of arbitration between Great
Britain and the United States. The
American government was now con-
sidering proposals emanating from
Lord Salisbury which it was hoped
would result in the establishment of
a system by which arbitration would
be possible in all cases. (Cheers0

commissioners Arrive at Winnipeg
to Settle the School Difficulty.

Special to the Globe.
WINNIPEG, Man, March 25-Sir
Donald Smith, Hon. Messrs. Dickie
and Des Jardines, commissioners of
the federal government to negotiate
with the Manitoba government for the
settlement of the school difficulty, ar
rived this evening and repaired to
Manitoba hotel. None of the commits
sioners would disclose to interviewers
the nature of the proposals they are
authorized to make. Indeed, they in
timated there were no Instructions or
restrictions imposed on them, but that
they were invested with full power in
the matter Des Jardines, however,
took occasion to deny the statement
Of the Montreal Press that he would
accept no compromise that was less
than would satisfy the minority If
the intimations from Ottawa that the
Nova Scotia system would be accepta-
BILE to the federal commissioners is
correct, there seems very little in the
way Of an amicable settlement of the
matter. AS one Manitoba minister
said today, they are willing to make
the schools thoroughly secular, with
the liberty of the trustees to have re-
ligiOuS exercises outside of school
hours, also with alterations in the
text books suitable to the minority.
1t is held that in this sparsely settled
country it would be disastrous to the
national school system to permit the
establishment Of separate schools But
special provision might be made for
cities and towns. There seems to be a
disposition in government circles to
throw no obstacle in the way of hon
orable compromise. The Manitoba
government will be represented in the
conference by Messrs. Greenway, Sift-
on and Cameron. The first meeting
is not likely to take place till Friday
morning. In the meantime representa-
tiVes of the minority are eXerting what
influence they can on the federal COM

tentative and not as it was generally
regarded an impossible alternative.
In such general trade arrange
ment, 1T is clear that exceptions must
be made in the case of articles such as
tobacco ana spirits, which are chiefly
taxed for revenue purposes. If we are
to make even the slightest progress in
such direction, protection must dis
appear and the only duties must be
revenue duties, not protective duties in
the sense of protecting the industries
or one portion of the empire against
the industries of another. | cannot
help thinking that if a council of rep
resentatives of the whole empire should
be called to consider such an arrange
ment, although the subject would pre-
sent enormous difficulty, still, with the
existing good will and the ultimate
goal in view, something like a working
agreement would be reached"
ApologiZing for speaking on the sub
1ect at such length, Mr.. Chamberlain
added that he spoke for himself alone.
1T is dream, If you like he added,
but it is a dream no man need be
ashamed of, to create an empire great
er and more potent than any history
has ever known. Nothing can be done.
however, in any direction until Great
Britain and her colonies have decided
upon imperial unity founded on the
cOmmOnWeal"
The Times says in an EDITORIAL:
20 Mr.. Chamberlain's stirring speech de-
parted from the traditional common
places of imperial officialism and
struck boldly the keynote of free trade
within the empire. 1t is important to
note that, while the speech appears
to have met with an encouraging re-
cept1on, Canada has hitherto been
more committed to the protectionist
system than any other colony Even
III Canada, however, protection is less
popular than formerly. Therefore, 1t
does not seem an Utopian hope of Mr.
Chamberlain that overtures are worth
considering"
A number of other papers comment
upon Mr.. Chamberlain's speech. The
Standard, Conservative says: 'Mr.
Chamberlain's speech will be remenl-
Dered as marking the beginning of a
fresh era IN the relations between the
colonies and the mother country" The
Daily News. Liberal, says: I'VE are
not prepared to abandon free trade
Tor a doubtful prospect of ingratiat-
Ing ourselves with the colonies Mr.
Chanberlain's suggestion is displayed
at peculiarly unfortunate moment"
The Daily Graphic says: Mr. Cham
peflaln has again risen to a great op-
poftunlty. We want to get to buSi-
ness. Mr.. Chamberlain has made the
