CHRISTMAS IN ENGLAND.
Millions Leave London for the Heli-


 London. Dec. 25.--A Christmas hoii- day, lasting from Tuesday to Friday for every one engaged in business, and extending to the following Monday Tor many scores of thousands or workers' has resulted in record distribution of Londoners to all parts of the United Kingdom and left the streets of the city more deserted in appearance than even the average Sunday.
 Nearly a million persons are com puted to have taken trains at the vari- ous railway terminals in the city dur- ing the past thirty-six hours. bound to the provinces and elsewhere on vis- its to relatives and friends.
 The weather yesterday was so fogsy and resulted in so many minor mishaps to traffic at sea and on land that there was apprehension that 1t might con tinue today. This morning. however. dawned bright with bracing atmos- phere, thereby contributing toward the Christmas cheer.
 King Edward and the Queen, with the Prince and Princess of Wales and their children, are. as usual. spending the Christmas holiday at Sandringham Palace, in Norfolk.
 All the tenants at Sandringham have been remembered with gifts of all kinds, including hugh joints of beef. tons of coal and supplies of groceries. The old women of the estate were per sonaIly cared for by Queen Alexandra. who herself visited and distributed sha wls and warm clothing to them.
 The rumors of shortage of money are belied by the reports that there has been a brisk Christmas trade. the only complaints coming from wine and cigar merchants and dealers in turkeys. who have been hit by the new prevention of corruption" act. which forbids gifts of any kind from an agent without the consent of the principal. with the ject of influencing the agent to do business with the giver. %

MIR. lEMEUx WILL SAL

Toltio, Dec. 24.--Rodolphe Lemieux. Canadian Minister of Labor. who con- cluded his negotiations today with the Japanese government regarding the, regulation of emigration to canada. said to the Associated Press:
 My lips are sealed on the subject Any statement have to make belongs, first to the Dominion government. My mission will be announced only after
 my return to ottwa. My coiIeaguss there will be in . position to fully discuss and consider the whole ques- tion in its various phases.
 T have every reason to believe that solution of the difficulty will soon be reached and am pleased to say that my negotiations with the Japanese fcr- cign office were concluded in a friendly spirit.
 "I return with nothing but the most pleasant recoliections."
 The Associated Press fs fin position to state that the situation is Identical with it's previous forecast. Mir. Lemieux and Sir Claude M. Macdonald. the Britt ish Ambassador. fully agreed with tho terms of the memorandum whereunder the Japanese government outlines fts plans for the future control of emi-
 grafton, the announcement of which will probably be made when similar arrangement Is outlined to Mr. Thomas J. 0Brien, the American Ambassador. whom it fs understood has submitted q number of suggestions from tho Amer ican government for the confederation of the foreign office.
 The suggestions, 1t Is believed. served to guide the arrangements sub mitted to Canada through Minister Iimeux and there Is reason to believe that the Japanese government VIII soon submit to Ambassador O'Brien the de- tails of the plans to control emigra- | tion to America, which pracficaliy
 amounts te the preysntior of an labor ss, I emigration.
 The attitude of Mir. I.enieux toward l the American Ambassador has caused much comment in diplomatic circles. |. | Mir. Lemiux entirely ignored the Amer | ican embassy and evidently preferred not to discuss the matter with Ambas- l sador OBrien. It is understood tnat | the foreign minister. Viscount hayhshi' throughout his conferences with MT !, Lemieux consistently declined 10 sacri- | fee any treaty reports or to set any limit on the number of Japanese wno ] will be permitted to land In Canauh monthly.
 MT. Lemieux and party will sail Tor | home on the Empress of China tomor- row. December 26. The Canadian gov | ernment has instructed him to report
 at the earliest possible moment
