MAORI LAND is A PROBLEM

In recent speech that the native land

out successfully-one or two attempts IN

Of the most serious grievances OF the col

concerned The policy OF the government
shown in its legislation, has been 70 force

land among smaller holders, and bill Is

this line are not fully in practice yet, for
the scheme as outlined, fraRmentarily at
least in some Of their church books, has
not beSa fully put into effect but will
require a considerable effort along spiritual
lines to prepare the people for the peculiar
conditions The saints believe that all the
members should labor on exactly the same
basis as the ministry are now laboring
that is, that every man IN return for the
labor rendered in whatever line It may
be shall have his needs and the needs
of his family supplied and all the income
as fruit OF his labor above this amount
shall be turned into the church treasury
there to be used by those in need or for
the development OF community interests
According to this theory OF financial or
Industrial affairs, the bishops Of the church
shall establish what are termed store
houses" into which the superabunSance
OF the community shall pour, TO be taken
out and used for those whO have not and
for the development OF community AFFAIRS

D TEMPLE SUBMERGED
Change in Dam at AssOuan VIII Cover
Nubian Monuments with
Water.

CAIRO, April lS.-(Special.)-The coun-
ell OF ministers has decided that the
height Of the Assouan dam should be in
creased in order that the level of the water
stored in the reservoir may be raised
twenty-five feet.
This decision has been taken only after
an exhaustive survey of the Nile valley
between Wady Halfa and Khartoum, which
proved that no suitable site for a dam of
the required capacity existed between
Wady Halfa and Khartoum. The only
alternative, therefore, was to raise the
existing dam.
The capacity OF water stored by the new
dam will be two and one-quarter times
greater than that stored by the existing
dam. The new supply will be sufficient
TO irrigate about 100000 acres About
$50, 900 acres of land untitled for want Of
water exists in the northern tracts Of
Egypt, a large part OF which is govern
ment property. 1t is proposed TO use this
additional water from the enlarged reser-
voir for retaining this land, which will
cause increased wealth and increased rev.
enue. The value OF the increase in the
cotton crop which this irrigation work will
bring about is estimated at between 49,
100000 and S2O,OOO.OOO. Unfortunately this
imposes on the government the regrettable
necessity of further submerging the Philae
temple and other Nubian monuments.
Every possible means will be taken to
minimize the injury, An archaeological
survey from Halfa TO Assouan has been
made and the different archaeological So
cieties have been invited to cooperate in
! this work.
| The estimated cost OF increasing the
height of the dam is $4,000 this sum In
| GLIDING compensation to the inhabitants
OF Nubia, whose lands will be submerged.

INDIA FEARS YELLOW PERIL
Calcutta Pioneer Says Clash VIII
Come Between Chinese
and Indians.

CALCUTTA, April 1s.-(Speclal. THE
Pioneer here Is sounding the yellow peril"
alarm in a new fashion. In a striking
article on midas danger points the Pioneer
considers at some length the possibility Of
the extension of Chinese influence in Asia.
1t is probable this newspaper thinks that
ual inhltration Of traders and settlers into
adjacent countries, rather than by reason
OF any great warlike movement.
Says the Pioneer: Perhaps the greatest
test Of British capacity for governing the
darker hued races will come when the pres
sure OF the yellow begins TO be felt by the
brown, and possibly, also. resented by
them. II will be the task OF statesman
ship to reconcile whatever conflicts of IN
terest may arise, and to train the brown
races so that they may be able 10 defend
their rights not merely by force OF arms,
which may never be necessary, but by
equality and superiority OF capacity for
the Industrial rivalries and conflicts which
are likely to be the chief feature OF the
anticipated invasion. Simply stated. II Is
not the task OF the British or OF any other
government to raise up artificial barriers
against the natural indeed. the inevitable
movements OF population, but to prevent
the people being violently disturbed by
incursions which seek to change the sources
and the forms OF government not for the
benefit Of India or TO make room for race
expansion. but IN order that power which
has done nothing to create the wealth Of
the Indies may draw large percentage OF
the profits thereof"

SHIP LINES ADJUST TROUBLE
Rates from Europe to India May Adj
vance as Result of
Agreement.

BERLIN, April 13.-(Special AFTER a
conflict which has lasted for more than
two years there is news of the termination
of the freight war between the Hansa
Steamship company of Bremen and two
Of the leading British steamship companies
the Peninsular & Oriental and the British
India. No formal announcement of the
terms Of the settlement has been made.
Indeed there is still some doubt as to just
what is going to happen.
This dispute has more especially centered
around the port Of Antwerp. The Hansa
company and the two British lines men
toned formerly had an agreement under
which, among other things, the shipment
OF cargoes from the Belgian ports to India
was the subject OF regulation. The Ger
man company put forward the view that
as large part OF the goods coming to
Antwerp for shipment to India were drawn
from South Germany It had special claims
to consideration and that the Peninsular
& Oriental and British India companies
by the frequency OF their sailings had
broken the agreement. They therefore
withdrew from it two years ago On the
other hand. the British lines concerned saw
In the action of the German company what
they regarded as an attempt to treat Amt
werp as a German port, whereas in their
opinion It partakes Of a neutral character.
Both British companies since the conflict
broke out have enforced their right to
send their steamers to Antwerp when they
pleased, while the Hansa company, by
way OF reprisal, has sent ships TO load at
British ports. Freight rates have been
cut to very fine point and goods have
for long time past been carried to India
at more or less nominal figures. From
time TO time there have been rumors OF
settlement Of the quarrel, but there are
so many sides to the dispute that It is diff

No Irish nationalist could help being
impressed by the scene that was witnessed
in Glasnevin cemetery when John O'Leary
was laid 10 rest. He belonged to the old
school whose ideas have to a large extent
died out There never was an occasion on
which the continuity OF Irish patriotism
was more splendidly illustrated. There
were representatives at the grave OF the
old Fenian OF constitutional natlOnalists
who follow the Parliamentary party and
Mr.. Redmond, OF the physical force party
20 which Mr.. OLeary himself belonged, and
also representatives OF the new ideas that
have come into Irish politics In recent
years. MI OLeaTy was never en-
thusiast for the Irish language neverthe-
less, one OF the most prominent men al

LAMONT, Ia. April 13.-(Special.) Be

Church OF Jesus Christ Of Latter Day
Saints, besides the many delegates, are
IN attendance at the annual conference
OF that organization. now In session here.
a peculiar feature of the ministry of this
church and one which at once attracts the
attention and interest Of nonmembers is
that they are an unsalaried body OF men.
The saints have peculiar ideas on church
finances and one of their peculiarities Is
that one who deyotes himself TO the propa-
cation OF their church tenents and TO the
development Of the church in spiritual
matters should not be put on the basis Of
a salary or in other words the motive
Rnimating the minister should not be that Of
gain, hence he Is not salarled He -
supposed to work for the love OF the
work and the institution of which he Is
a part.
When a>man enters the field Of mission
RFy work for this people he Is placed upon
what u termed an allowance, which allow
ance Is Riven to his family for their sup
port The allowance is determined by the
size OF TIE family ana is supposed to be
just suft,sient 20 meet the needs OF the
family ia average conditions. Indeed. It
Is a mater OF surprise to those who know
what this allowance Is that the elders
families can get along on the amount al
lowed. The highest family allowance IN
the missionary force would perhaps not
so over $50 or S55 per month. and this
means that the minister has specially
large family.
The ministers themselves are dependent
for their expenses upon the generosity or
iiberality OF the people among whom they
labor. The travelling minister asks no
compensation for services rendered simply
takes what may be handed 20 him and
renders account to the general bishop for
every penny received. Should he fail to
receive from those among whom he labors
suhieient for his immediate needs, then he
calls upon the bishop or his agents for
money 90 tide over AFFAIRS.
