IMPERIAL FAVOR TO CANADA.
Dominion May Name One Of Its Own Men
for Head OF the Militia.

OTTAWA, Dec. 1c.--7'he Imperial Govern
ment has agreed to an extension of Canada S
powers of aut tonomy. 1t has consented that
Canada shall. if she chooses to do 30, ap-
point a Canadian to take command of the
militia of the Dominion. This intelligence
came to-day in a cable despatch to the
Prime Minister from Sir Frederick Borden,
Minister OF the Militia, who is at present in
London, having been called to England to
discuss with the Secretary of State for the
Colonies and the Secretary of State for
War the provisions of the bill TO amend the
Militia act, which Sir Frederick submitted
to the House of Commons at the recent
session.
As the law now stands none but an officer
OF the imperial army may hold the command
OF the Canadian troops. 1t was felt that
with a Canadian thoroughly In touch with
Canadian conditions and sentiment in the
office there could not be recurrence or
the friction which has accompanied the
regimes of some Generals from England.
Other provisions oil the bill do away, with
the regulations under which imperial OIL
GERS serving in Canada of the same rank
AZ Canadians take precedence over the
latter. Tho bill also enables the Dominion
Government to confer the rank of Brigadier-
General. At present the highest Canadian
rank is Colonel.

TORE Up SUBURBAN TRACKS.
Citizens OF Austin, Near Chicago. Suddenly
Form a "RemOyal Club"

CHICAGO, H., Dec. l2.-Armed with
picka1es, shovels and crowbars, $50 citizens
of Austin, suburb of Chicago. last night
tore up nearly mile Of street car tracks
belonging to the Suburban Railroad Com
pany, owned by Charles T. Yerkes. The
removal of the traction company's prop
erty was so speedy that all the work was
completed before the police heard of it.
The unexpected action of the residents
of the western suburb was taken as re-
suit Of decision rendered yesterday by
Judge Honore in tho Circuit Court. The
injunction which tho street car company
had taken out about a year ago restrain
ing the city Of Chicago from interfering
with its tracks was dissolved, and the de-
cislon gave the citizens Of Austin victory
The news spread like wildfre through
the length and breadth of the suburb and
a secret meeting was decided on, Tele-
phones we're not even trusted and boys
mounted on ponies went from one house to
another notifying the citizens that the
Removal Club" was to hold a mass meet
ing in the rear Of W. f. Golden's drug store.
That was sufficient. Each man knew what it
meant and before leaving his house armed
himself with the necessary implements.

DEWEY, THE TRAINMEN'S DOG.

Ride on the New Haven Road.

GREENWICH, Conn. Dec. l2,-Dewey.
the New Haven trainmen's pet, was in
Greenwich yesterday. The tag fastened
to his collar read: Dewey, Free Pass, Rye
Station, N. Y"
Dewey is a small white fox terrier,
with black spot on his back, and he is
never contented unless travelling on
railroad train. He is good natured, wags
his tail at almost everybody, but if one
tries to take him by force from railroad
station or depot there is trouble. Dewey
travels from New York to Springfield some
days, but always fetches up at his home in
Rye when night comes. He watches for
an approaching train, and when it stops
he is at the door of the express car barking
for admitance.
Trainmen put him aboard and he plays
about for while, sometimes stretching
himself in a corner for nap, and, when
he gets ready, barks to get OF at some
station. Then he runs around to the sta,
tion on the other side OF the track and
awaits train going in the opposite direc-
| toin. He appears to know just which way
the train is going and always takes the one
in the direction of home at night. The
passengers on the New Haven Railroad

F.; Port Chester has owned the dog since he
was a puppy, and says that his fondness
for railroad travel is probably due to the
fact that every day for long time he would
bring the dog on the train with him from
missed train in Greenwich. He ran for
it, but it got away from him. and he re-
| turned o the station to wait for the next
a crestfallen looking dog. 1t wouldn't do

LONDON, Dec. l2.-Families which are
now searching the great stores in the West
End Of London for Christmas presents find
that everything is costly beyond precedent
The managers Of the stores agree that busi-
ness has been slow for sAch long time
that they must get money and therefore
they are raising the prices.
Business has not been affected by the
weather, but shares the depression which
is ascribed mostly to the Stock Exchange
and the prolonged effects Of the war in
South Africa. The head of Regent street
department store said: "The Stock Ex-
change is the best barometer we have.
When money is tight the people spend less
In luxuries There is a scarcity of money
and the people are enconomizng all they
can"
The railways to all the holiday resorts
report that the year has been bad one
for passenger traffic. The Brighton line,
which Is about the most popular, shows
a shrinkage Of over f5 900 a week in the
receipts as compared with those of a year
ago.
The effect of the bad times extends to
the humblest ranks Of. industry. The
prospects for the winter are particularly
bad in the building world and the river
side and shipping business. The London
County Council is trying to find how to
establish relief works and also to see how
London's unemployed may be fitted for
agriculture in the ,thinly populated tracts
OF Essex. The problem has not been made
easier by the convincing proof that large
percentage Of the unemployed are chronic
begears. Some clergymen in the East
End Of London disributed tickets for hot
meat suppers to deserving men. One of
them decided that a man should earn his
supper by working for a quarter of an hour
at chopping wood in the garden Of the rec
tory. The result ~as that only eight sat
down to the supper, The coal wharves
need men and are working shorthanded.
A dollar day is offered for unskiled labor
ers, but the places are not sought
The chronic congestion in the ranks of the
lowest unskilled labor has accentuated
the anti-alien sentiment in the East End
so that the Government has promised to
introduce some legislation at the beginning
Of the next session.
