The debate over the war claim aroused
intense interest among the delegates.
A privilege communication from

Judge Strother of Los Angeles, led

which embodied the minority report.
1t was concise, cogent arraign-
ment of the policy and motives of
the friends of the war claim, and es-
pecially those who conducted the Wash.
ington proceedings. The document
was lengthy, citing in detail the main
the passage of the bill was alleged to

Canada's Rapid Progress.


The Canadians would make very good
Americans If they were not so obstinately
Canadian. This is shown by the present
wonderful prosperity of the Dominion
In 10 years her trade has increased by
nearly 5000, 900, 600. In a single year the
increase is $40, 000,0 900 Exports of manu-
features are $1S,500. 900 in 1902 against ST.
$1,000 in 1893. In the same period agricul-
tural exports have doubled. The tremen-
dous energy and success of the Canadian
workers are indicated in the fact that
deposits in savings banks have doubled in
four years. Assets Of Canadian banks
grew in tina thine from $243 400, 900 to
$44S, 300 000, the note circulation showing a
like increase. Six years ago Canada was
thought to be losing population by emil
grafton to the United States. Massa chu-
sets was complaining of the influx of
peasants from Canada, and all aong the
line to Oregon there was said to be an
Incoming current. Now this is all
chan ged. Immigrants are flocking into
Canada from the United States-farmers
ranchmen, miners and other active class
es. From 1000 n 1897 the immigrants
have increased to 1900 in 1902, one-thrd
of these being active workers from the
United States. AS respects the creation
of needed railways across the continent
and in the far Northwest, Canada Is very
progressive, as also in establishing trans
oceanic steamship lines and submarine
cables to connect with Europe on one
side and Asia and Australia on the other
Our Northern neighbor seems to be very
much alive.

Passing of st. Lazare Prison in Paris

Paris like London in the demolition of
Newgate, is losing familiar and gloomy
landmark This is the st. Lazare prison
in the Rue de Faubourg Saint Denis, and
with 1t will disappear one OF the Oldest
buildings in Paris. 1t was founded about
the end Of the eleventh century and was
first used as a hospital for lepers. About
1852, leprosy having almost completely
disappeared from France, the prior of the
canons of Saint Victor, who owned the
building handed 1t over to Saint Vincent
de Paul 1t was here that that famous
monk died. The room in which he breath
ed his last was transformed into chapel
and Is today the oratory Of the Sisters of
Mary and Joseph, who look after the pris-
oners.
During the early days OF the Revolu-
ton the convent was sacked by the mob.
Three years later, during the Terror, 1t
was first used as a prison, and was one
of the ante-chambers of the guillotine.
Andre Chenier spent the last days of his
life here. The consulate first established
the st. Lazare prison as prison for
women, a use to which 1t has been de-
voted ever since There Is only one es-
| cape on record that of an English woman
| named Kate Pee. She was first impris-
oned for six months for completely in the
robbery of a jewelers. shop in the Palais
4
| was expelled from France.
| She returned in 1873 and was again ar
rested for theft and sentenced for long
period of Imprisonment. One day, about
o'clock, 1t was noticed that Kate Plee
had disappeared. The prison was search
ed from top to bottom, and finally her
prison dress was discovered in a wooden
box. 1t transpired that she had by some
means or another obtained possession of
a nuns dress, and thus disguised had
managed to make her way to the street.
| How she managed to get past the various
gates and iron gratings, which are kept
| locked night and day, is mystery that
was never explained. In 1879 there was
a woman confined at st. Lazarre who was
known as the"doyenne." She was then
90 years of age, and had been arrested
| 11S times. Another prisoner, who died
there some years ago, was born on the
! 9Th Thermidor of the year ten of the First
| Republic.

The Great Issue on Which the Min

Although the Irish question in the

In his speech at Dorchester on Monday

expression which betrays a very imper-

of 1885, which he helped to bring about,
and the blame of which he seeks to cast
upon Mr.. Cleveland. The New York

Boston's Solid Democratic Delegation

The Democrats of Massachusetts sac
ceeded in electing four members of the
delegation from that State to the next
Congress-the largest number they have
lad since the days Of Governor Russell.
when In one election they elected seven
out of twelve, being a majority OF the
delegation. only to see their number re-
ddced to four in the next Congress, and
then to one in the FIfty-fo nth Congress.
y ct though the Democrats have thus
gained a member. The Republicans will
have the same number Of Massachusetts
repres antatives in the ne 1t Congress that
is theirs now, owing to the reapportion-
ment. The new district was made IN EoS-
ton. was numbered the Eleventh. and
was assumed to be safely Republican. 1t
did not prove to be so, however. Th@
Boston delegation in Congress will be
wholly made up of Democrats. It - the
first time in the history of tina city taat
this has happened.
Kites are to be substituted for the tai
looms now used on board Russian war
vessels for observation purposes.
