PLAN PORT ON HUDSON BAY.
Canadians to Build Railway and Try to
Divert Shipping.

Winnipeg, Man, Jan. 29-Saving OF
millions of dollars annually on ship
ments to European ports is assured
to Manitoba and the central states of
Canada by building a direct line from
Winnipeg to a port on Hudson bay.
During the next week or two the
Conservatives of Manitoba will an
nounce their intention of backing a
company to build such a line. Al
though 1t is barely 900 miles from Win
nipeg to the bay, the route presents
many difficulties because the country
is covered with muskegs and rivers.
Surveys, however, show sufficient high
ground can be selected to overcome
many of these difficulties.
According to reports of the geologi-
cal department the bay has open wa
ter for six months of the year, and,
with specially constructed icebreakers,
this period could be heightened.

what they termed the inactivity and
utter inefiiclency" of the English au-
tsorities on the island during the first
days following the disaster. For three
days, or up to the day the Prinz Eitel
sailed, there was no semblance Of
order and nothing definite done In the
matter of relieving the sufferings of
many Of the wounded.

nor Swettenham and spoke to him o.
the Davis incident. The governor said
that he had not invited Rear Admiral
Davis to land sailors. Asked II he In
dorsed the action taken by Rear Ad-

THAT is a matter between myself and
Rear Admiral Davis, to whom | must
refer YOU" The governor said that
his reference in his letter to Rear Ad-
miral Davis to tramp pillaging the

merely jocular parallel.

EXPOSITION OF BIBLE.
HIGHER CRITICISM.
Bishop Vincent Says It Brings Out Bibles Reli-
 ableness More Strongly.

Bishop John H. Vincent, D. D., IL. D., of Indianapolis, Ind, preached at Battell chapel yesterday morning. His sermon was for the most part clear and strong exposition of the Bible and Gods meaning He said among other things that the Bible was almost of no use in solving difficult or abstract problems, but that no other book offer ed such splendid guide for good liv- ing and the uplifting of moral charac- ter. He declared that higher criticism had been to the Bible what fire was to gold, bringing out its reliableness and purity the more strongly.
 There are several ways in which these truths might have been revealed, Bishop Vincent said. They might have been revealed in a diylnely written book in which man had had no part. They might have been revealed through a book written by men who were divinely inspired or who wrote what they knew and thought about religious truths. But the best revelation is through ac- tlvity as exempllfed in the life of Jesus.
