CANADIANS PUSH
. RAILWAY SCHEMES
Grand Trunk Pacific Project As
sured- Roads Necessary to
Prosperity.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Toronto, Ont, April 1.-This is the
railway era in Canada. The public
talk is about railroad building, and
much of the time of the Dominion
parliament and the provincial legis-
latures is taken up with various rail-
way projects that call for subsidies or
guarantees.
President Mackenzie of the Cana
dian Northern has just returned from
England, where he succeeded in
financing the extension Of the main
line as far as Edmonton, a thousand
miles northwest of Winnipeg. The
same road is about to ask the Ontario
government for q land grant and sub
sidy to build a line from Toronto to
Hudsons Bay.
The Grand Trunk Pacific project,
however, occupies the larger share of
public attention. 1t involves Domin-
ion guarantees and construction and
Ontario provincial land grants and
subsidies. The government has de-
cided to make the Grand Trunk pro-
position the leading business before
parliament after the Easter vacation.
There is no doubt that the amended
agreement between the government
and the Grand Trunk Pacific will be
pushed thru, and it is likely that work
on the prairie section will begin this
summer.
It is doubtful If any great railway
enterprise was ever begun under such
encouraging circumstances as those
enjoyed by the Grand Trunk Pacific.
The government of Canada is to build
the 1900 miles Of non-productive road
| at first, at least-between Moncton,
| N. b., and Winnipeg. On this road
| the Grand Trunk Pacific is to have
running privileges for 100 years, ex-
elusive for the first SO years.
West Of Winnipeg to the mountains
the government will guarantee bonds
sufficient to yield $4,000 mile. Thru
the mountains to the Pacific the gov
eminent guarantees bonds to cover
three-quarters Of the cost Of construc-
ton, whatever that may be. There
should be not the least difficulty in
financing transcontinental under
such favorable auspices. w.. p
The province of Ontario is to be
asked for a land grant and a subsidy
Of $4,000 a mile for branch line Of
22O miles from the main line to "a.
lake terminal at Port Arthur.
Cana dams fully realize that their
great western country will never be-
come as populous as the west in the
| United States until they begin to build
railways as rapidly as they have been
built in the United States for the last
thirty years.
In these days settlers will not take
up land in large numbers in any re-
gion that Is remote from railway.
To keep up with the possibilities of
immigration western Canada ought to
build 1000 miles Of railway for the
next ten years.
The main lines Of the Canadian
: Northern and Grand Trunk Pacific are
only small parts of the railways that
must be built If the population Of the
country is to increase at a rapid rate
Both these lines will have to build
thousand miles of feeders, and SC
will the Canadian Pacific, notwith-
standing it's already large mileage.

Why Parker Is Silent.

Chicago, April 1.-Walter Wellman,
in an Albany special to the Record
Herald, says: Studious efforts are
being made to spread the belief that
Mr.. Parker is "colorless candidate"
and mere puppet in the hands Of,
David B. Hill.
Judge Parker's present attitude, as
given to me thru the good offices of
his friends, is as follows:
Judge. Parker begs to be excused
from giving interviews to representa-
tives of the press He has not sought
any other office than the one he now
holds. All that has been done has
been done by his friends and admirers
without a sign Of encouragement from
him.. He has his opinions on all the
issues Of the day, and if need arises
will express them, but unless or UNI
til he is nominated he will pursue his
present course of absolute silence. If
he were now to come out in any form
with an expression Of his opinions
such action would look like a bid for
the nomination. Any such action
would be incompatible with his ideas
Of dignity and propriety in the posi-
ton which he now occupies"

Torpedo Boats Advance.
The torpedo boats opened out and
the transports, with men standing at
the lifeboat stations. steered directly
into the inferno. There was then
only a mile to traverse.
1T was just $3.50 in the morning
when the steamer Chiyo, with a
searchlight beating on her and she q
target for hundred guns, led toward
the east side Of the entrance.
1.-THE fuses were set and the crew
pushed off just in time. The charge
exploded, sinking her 100 yards from
the east side Of the entrance Golden
HID.
1.-The Fukui next passed on the port
side Of, the Chiyo and dropped anchor.
Just as the officers and crew pushed
clear there was a dull explosion. She
had been struck and sunk, in the ex-
act place which the Japanese desired,
by torpedo from within the harbor.
$50 close were the defending de-
stroyers that the Yeneyama was
fouled by q Russian destroyer and her
crew was scorched by the flame of the
discharge from Russian six-pounder.
Sunk by a Torpedo. -.
"It was a horrible melee, but the
Yeneyama passed to starboard Of the
Chiyo and then between her and the
Fukui and reached the center Of the
channel, where she was hit by a tor
pedo, which sank her on the west
side Of the channel, her bow pointing
toward the shore. Not man of the
transports crews was drowned.
THE enterprise failed to block the
channel, because there were only four
transports. 1t is certain that the
Japanese will not rest until the chan
mel has been closed.
1.-The maneuVer was covered by a
torpedo division, which, running in
close, endeavored to draw the fire of
the land batteries from the main en-
terprise. -.
This division remained in action un-
til all the crews were rescued and just
before daybreak was engaging q Rus
sian destroyer, which remained at the
entrance line firing torpedoes during
the night.
The scream Of escaping steam pro-
claimed that the Russian boat had
been damaged in her vitals.
"At daybreak the fotilla drew off

waiting ten miles outside"
