''Owing to the progress and prosperity

to applaud the virtue of his highness on
this, his 53rd birthday.
ITO fulfill our obligations as his sub
jects is to answer the call of duty,
whether it be on the field of battle or
in furthering the advancement of the
empire in commercial or Industrial
way While our brothers are nObly and
willingly sacrificing their lives for the
cause of the emperor, fate has decreed
that we here in this foreign land, illus
trate to the world the progress of Japan
and at the same time acquire for our
selves the very best which western
civilization has to offer. By so doing,
we are expressing our appreciation of
our emperor's grace.
THAT we are ably surrounded by
the influences of peace and far from
the tumult of war, to celebrate this
eventfuI day, is a gift which we high
ly prize. We join our voices in the

The Emperor Rides Out and Reviews
the Troops.

Toxic, Nov. 3.-Noon-Japan is en-
joying a holiday today in honor of the
emperor'S birthday. Ordinarily the
people idolize their sovereign but the
war seems to have increased their af
fection. The celebration was observed
throughout the empire. The cities
were decorated and patriotic exercises
were held. At Toxic the emperor re-
viewed the fleet and the imperial
at the palace for the higher officials
and foreign diplomats. The military
review was held at Oyama field, where
the troops began arriving early this
morning.
The emperor drove through the city
in a handsome red state coach. LeaV
ing the palace shortly after 8 o'clock
he reached the field at 8 and alighting
from his carriage mounted a black
charger He was accompanied by
numerous staff, which included the
crown prince and Lieutenant General
Sir William Nicholson, director gen.
eral of military intelligence of the
British war office, attache to the Jap
anese army during the war. The en-
peror rode around the field. Only a
small portion of the troops assembled
marched past, the remainder holding
their positions in an irregular square.
The troops which marched past in
cluded three regiments of infantry, so
field guns and regiment of cavalry,
totaling 5000 troops. They wore the
field uniform and carried a full kit
including intrenching TOOLS presenting
an impressive appearance in the bright
sunshine. Thousands of the populace
walked around the field. After the re-
view the crowd broke into the field
and gave the emperor and crown
prince an ovation. ~

JURY'S VERDICT.
In the Investigation of the North Sea
Incident.

Hull Nov. 3.-"That George Henry
Smith and William Leggett were at
about 1890 a. m. on October %, while
out fishing with trawlers aboard the
British steamer Trawler Crane, with
board of trade marks exhibited and
regulation lights burning killed byshots
fired without warning or provocation
distance of about a quarter of a mile
This is the text of the jury's verdict at
the coroner's inquest on the fishermen
victims of the North sea tragedy At
the request of the British government
represented by the Earl of Dysart, So
ltcitor of the treasury, this conservative
award was rendered by the first court
of inquiry preceding the sessions of the
International tribunal. The government
asked the jury not to find a verdict of
wilful murder or manslaughter, because
delicate negotiations are going on which
they ought not to let any one think
they had prejudiced the case before
having heard both sides. In consequence
the jury simply set forth the facts
proved by the evidence of physicians,
experts <on explosives and the traWlers
themselves.
To the verdict the judge added the
following rider:
ION this occasion, probably the most
momentous in the annals of the British
empire the jury would record apprecia-
ernment interested to arrive at salts
factory conclusion of the matter, which
we feel has no parallel in the history of
the world

CANADA VOTES.
Fate of the Grand Trunk Pacific Is in
the Balance.

st. Johns n. B., Nov. 3.-Electors
of Canada are deciding today whether
the government of Sir Wilfred Laurier
will be continued in Office and VIII ether
the Grand Trunk Pacific company
will be permitted to construct a trans
continental railway, largely supported
by the federal treasury. The cam
paign has been an active one and al
though the indications at times have
pointed to the return of the Liberal
government by a reduced majority in
the house of commons. a number of
confusing elements has made the out
come uncertain. The Liberal majority
in the late parliament was "a.
This majority, however, was re-
duced to 4S at the close of the last ses-
sion of the commons by the reSiSna-
ton of several members appointed to
office and through the less of a seat
in a by-election in st. John. The
leading issue in the campaign has
been the Grand Trunk Pacific project.
The Conservative party, led by Robert
L. Borden of Halifax, maintains that
ocean freight traffic over the proposed
road during the months that the st.
Lawrence river is closed to navigation
will be shipped to Portland, Me, and
Boston instead of this city and
Halifax. Portland is the Atlantic ter
minus of the Grand Trunk railroad,
whose directors are the promoters of
the Grand Trunk enterprise.
The Liberal party is depending for
success largely on the prosperous con-
dition of the country. 1t also relies on
strong support in Quebec province.
where out of 65 members of the last
parliament from that district, nearly
so are supporters of Premier Laurier.
The Conservatives have been claiming
they would elect 20 or 25 members in
Quebec today and it is believed that
success or failure of their efforts in
that province will decide the result at

NEW TAX PAYING RECORD.
Over $500 Realized in the First
Two Days.

The first day for the payment of taxes
for 1904 to the county treasurer was
Tuesday and since then a new tax pay
ing record has been established.
Tuesday the total paid in taxes was
So, 500 and Wednesday the total pay
ment was over $4,000. These payments
on the first and the second days are
larger than for any other first and sec
ond days of the tax paying time on rec
ord. Another feature of the payment
of taxes is that Wednesday out of so
payments all but two were for the full
tax and only two for the half tax. That
so many pay the full tax as soon as due
and thereby receive rebate of two and
one half per cent for the full payment
means that times are good.
County Treasurer Bowen advises that
tax payers do not telephone to the
treasurer's office to ask the amount of
taxes as the giving of figures over the
telephone is unsatisfactory and mis-
takes are apt to be made and further
that the office is often crowded with
tax payers and the clerks do not have
time to answer the telephone calls. If
you can't go to the treasurer's office to
find out the amount of the tax use a
postal card.
