Raeistration is Ranid.

New York. Oct. 6.-RegIstration of voters Is proceeding rapidly today in all parts of Greater New York. The booths opened at o'clock and in most cases men were on hand waiting to register when the hour struck. All parties had out workers. Tammany men were in evil dence everywhere and Citizens Union and Republican representatives pressed them closely at every polling place. Such scenes of animation on registration day have not been seen for years
 Today and tomorrow are the last days in which voters can register. There is every indication that large registration vii be accorded for the two days.

Japan Will Never Consent to Parti- tion of the Hermit Kingdom.
 Troops Being Concentrated at Hakodate.

London. Oct. n.-Special correspondents continue to send in alarmist reports of the Russo-Japanese situation. The corr respondent at Chee Foo of The Morning Post has gone to Wei-Hai-Wei, whence he cables:
 q am informed in trustworthy quarters that Japan has landed troops at Ping Yan, at the outlet of Corea Bay. It Is currently reported that the conference of the Russian and Japanese authorities has been futtle."
 r The correspondent at Hakodate. Japan. of The Daily Mail announces unusual mill ttary activity there, saying 100000 men have been concentrated at Hakodate in readiness for authorization in the event of hostilities. He adds that torpedoes are being laid in the ports of Western Japan.
 Part of Army Mobilized.
 The Daily Mail points out that Hako- date is the port which would be used in the event of Japan sending an expe- dition against vladivostock and says that such a large concentration of troops there show that part of the Japanese army has been quiety mobilized.
 It was rumored on the Cardiff coal ex- change that both Russia and Japan were seeking large purchases of Welsh ooai.
 Cabling from Titentsin- the correspond ent of The Standard says a visitor to Yongampho, Corea, reports one Russian fort a.seady built there and another in course of construction. The Russians are said to be extending the boundary of their leased territory south of Taesan.
 The Morning Post, discussing the ru- mors of the partition of Corea and of the erection of Russian forts at Yongampho, declares that under no circumstances would Japan consent to the partition of Corea because to permit Russia to absorb a portion would only be a prelude to the annexation of the whole of Corea. The paper adds that the Angio-Japanese agreement provides expressly for the maintenance of the. Corean integrity and 1t is therefore unlikely that Russia has erected the forts referred to.

LORD aoscHEN STEAKS.
Ex- Chancellor of Exchequer Opposes
 the Tariff.

London, Oct. 16.-Lord Goschen, who was Chancellor of the Exchequer in Lord Salisbury's second administration, deliv- cred a strong speech in London tonight against the taxation of food. He pointed out that France and Germany had begun with small taxes on wheat which had risen rapidly with the Agrarian demand. with the result that in Great Britain the price of wheat was about T shillings less per quarter than in Germany and from 8 to 12 shillings below the price in France.
 He said there was no doubt that such taxes were paid by the consumer and as Great Britain was dependent upon for eign supplies for four-fifths of her food requirements as compared to Germany, which took one-third of her food sup plies from foreigners, and France, which took but 2 per cent, 1t would be most in- advisable thus to tax food.
 With regard to the prospect of work men being better paid under the proposed plan, Lord Goschen pointed out that wages in Germany were % per cent lower than in Great Britain while 1t was pre- posterous to suppose that the small tax ofs2 shillings on wheat would benefit the agriculture of Great Britain.

CAPE BREToN RICH

In Coal and lron-sidney's Great
stee, Plant.
Current reports Of late. tell Of the
wonderful wealth Of Cape Breton,
Nova Scotia. The island is said to
have some of the greatest deposits Of
coal In the world, and from indica-
tons also has vast deposits Of iron.
At Sidney, Cape Breton. great steel
plants are being constructed, which
owing to the coal and iron deposits
being near each other, makes it an
ideal location for the reduction Of the
iron ore to steel, at lowest possible
cost.
Cape Breton coal deposits are very
profitable to their owners, rs Canada
affords them market wholly free
from competition and the geograph-
ical position Of Cape Breton renders
the markets Of the world Of easy
access, thus making the coal deposits
Of Cape Breton extremely valuable.
