CHILDREN OF POOR IN CANADA
Mrs. close Speaks of Enorts TO Aid
British in Distress by
CoIonizatiOn.

LONDON. Dec SO.-(Special Cablegram to
The Bee)-At the invitation of Mrs. Close
n drawing room meeting was held at her
residence to hear a statement as to the
present position OF her scheme for the em-
igration Of poor law children TO Canada.
Sir James Crichton- Browne presided and
among those present were Lady Falmouth.
Sir William Tomlinson, NJ. p, Sir Richard
sankey. Sir Henry Cunningham, the Hon.
J. Napier the Hon. Mrs. Lubbock and
Prof. Smith. The chairman stated that
Mrs. Close promulgated her project some
years ago, and had been engaged for many
months past in working It out In practical
detail. That boys and girls under school
age could under proper precautions and
with proper supervision. be boarded out
and settled In Canada to their signal ad
vantage and bene1t and to that of the col
ony had been experimentally demonstrated:
Mrs. Close proposed to go further than
a Her idea was to emlgrate very young
W ,'en. 1t could not be hoped by the
meme to grapple with the question Of
juvenile paupersm as a whole. But juven-
lie pauperism had many and varied aspects
and must be dealt with in many and varied
ways.
Mrs. Close said that there were in charge
OF the guardians at the present time about
5000 children who, year in and year out,
were brought up at the expense of the rate
payers. That was wholly exclusive of 10000
who were receiving outdoor relief and of
over 10000 who were in charge Of various
institutions She held that II would be to
the advantage Of England to send English
children TO the colonies, and she believed
that it would be possible to wipe off the
total cost of the children from the rates of
London. Mr.. Morris Ruffer had given her
5000 for starting a farm, and she had pur-
chased one of 1856 acres in New Brunswick
for $3.50 It was capable of accommodqt-
ing twenty children and four officials in
cluded among whom would be a female
superintendent and a trained nurse. Free
education would be given by the Canadian n
government, and the children sent to that
particular farm would be able to attend
/ the church situated two miles away At
the suggestion of the late government she
had written to the London county council
offering to take eight or ten children to her
New Brunswick farm at a cost not to ex-
ceed s120 each.

RGRe Rsie Of the BuddhistS of Tibet and Central
1t will be remembered that in September
OF last year when the grand Lama OF
Lhasa. or the Dalai Lama as he is called
by the Chinese and Mongols had under
the malign influence of a Russian priest,
Doriioff, fed from his capitol on the ap-
proach OF Colonel Younghusband mission,
and had refused to return to resume the
government or take part in the negotia-
tions despite the threats of his suzerain,
the emperor Of China, he was thereupon
deposed by the latter His temporal power
was transferred to regent in council and
the spiritual sovereignty delivered into
the hands Of this high priest OF Tashi-
lumpo monastery in western Tibet an
amiable youth OF 2l who always was a
grand lama in his own right invested with
divine attributes little inferior to the Dalai
Lama.
The boldness of this stroke of policy-a
policy which It is understood was sug.
gested to the Chinese minister by Colonel
Younghushand-may be imagined when ii
is recollected that the fanatical votaries
OF the Dalai Lama implicitly believe hin
TO be God incarnate and regard his office
as inviolably sacred.

ST. PETERSBURG Cvia Warsaw, Dec.
SO.-(Special Cablegram to The Bee.)-The
conflict between the imperalists and the
revolutionists during the last few weeks
has been fierce in the Caucasus as in
any other part Of the Russian empire. The
revolutionary organization known
as Decentralization" Uhe Droshakists) to
the number Of ,OOO in military array vis-
tied the Tartar quarters and addressed the
Tartars, telling them that they were the
committee of whom so much evil had been
spoken, that they were not the enemies of
the Tartars and that they desired nothing
better than to live with the Tartars on
terms of friendship. The Armenans then
visited the Persian consulate. at which the
zill-es-sutan, the shah's elder brother, was
staying, and sent a deputation to assure
him that the report OF outrages committed
'upon Persian subjects by the Armenians
was unfounded, and to request him to trans
nit to the shah the gratitude of the Ar
menians for the protection accorded TO
their kinsfolk in Persia The zill-es-sultan
in reply declared that as there was only one
sun in the heaven, which shone upon all
so there was only one shah who visited
with his favor all his subjects alike with
out distinction OF religion or race. The
satisfaction to him to hear the assurances
Of the Armenans and that he would at
once communicate their words to the shah.
All OF which sounded very pacific And
yet during the four days which followed
these protestatlons fifty houses were burned
in the Ba1u district alone and at least
$50 lives were sacrificed. 1t is significant
that throughout the riots the troops cither
played the part of passive spectators or
actively co-operated with the so-called pa
triots" imperialists in destruction ana
rapine. 1t is also noteworthy that the Tar
tars as a race took no part in the out
break, and the Baku which, though edited
by u Russian, may be regarded as an Ar
menian organ, declares expressly that the
leading Tartar citizens did all in their
power to preserve order In consequence
of these events nine revolutionary organiza-
I tions at Baku have issued a joint proclama-
tion, declaring that they have formed an
alliance for the purpose of protecting help

AGAINST IRON IN BUILDINGS
London Architects Declare that steel
Structures Cannot BE Con-
sidered Permanent.

LONDON Dec. 3O.-(Special Cablegraln to
The Bee. 1.-THE Charing Cross disaster has
caused a discussion among the architects OF
London as to whether buildings in which
iron is largely used are safe. Thomas Jack-
son, ono of the leading architects of the
city, in an interview upon the subject said
THE life of an iron structure exposed to
the weather depends absolutely and solely
upon the thin skin of the paint we put upon
1t, which is constantly perishing and must
be constantly renewed. Iron construction,
It may safely be maintained, is still on Its
trial and what has happened may be the
sisaailas. n phAeir---r~=;
AA6f. ayaekson has raised the "question OF
the safety of iron buildings generally. and
recalls the fact that the house fronts of
miles and miles of London streets are en-
tirely carried on iron girders, and that they
are not proof against the damps and fogs
of London, to the ravages of which the iron
girder is as susceptible as the human lung.
Mr.. jackson adds that thirty years has
been said to be the life of a girder He con-
cludes by saying that no architect who
wishes his building to live will use iron or
steel except for such minor matters as ties
and bolts and small girders to carry floors.
John Belcher, the president of the Royal
Institute of British Architects, says that
danger arises from two causes: First, the
changes in the metal itself brought about In
tho course of years, and. second the cor
rosion arising from damp eating into joints
loosening rivets as well as rusting the
metal generally. In the case of railway
bridges there was third cause Of danger
in the constant vibration.
III ST. Paul's had been built of iron and
steel It would have disappeared long ago
said Mr.. Belcher. Il do not think there Is
any great danger In the case OF those build
ings where the iron or steel parts are built
In and hermetically sealed. In those cir
cumstances the metal seems to keep its
strength. But the danger comes where the
exterior is of metal
