foresight on your part.
Is the world, indeed, heartIesS and inhuman2

Does each individual buyer imagine that his nee

VERITABLE SENSATION
Created at Paris Among Scientists
Over DR.. Cooks Great Feat.

Paris, Sept. 2.-The news of the sue
cess of Dir. Cook when it became fully
known in Paris. created a veritable
sensation. The evening papers publish
long accounts of his expedition and
while there is a tendency to await ar
rival of Dr. Cook at Copenhagen to
secure from him proof and confirma-
tory details, the press unites in prais-
ing the explorer and congratulations
to America. The best known scientists
are at present away from the city. DR..
CharcOt is trying to reach the South
pole, while the Duke of Orleans is at
SpitZbergen. having returned to this
island after interesting researches in
Greenland. The news was received
with the greatest interest by the men,
bers of the French Geographical So
ciety, one of whom said:
.Dr. Cooks records should determine
whether or not there Is a fiattening OF
the earth at the pole and verify the
mathematical situation of the polar
star at the zenith"
Pierre Levasseur, the French geogra-
pher, said:
"AIl honor to DR.. Cook I now await
other details. Do islands exist in the
Arctic ocean beyond the S5th degree
| and is the pole on one of these islands.
I hope we will have answers to these
questions but in event there will

NO RETALIATION
Will Be Attempted by
Dominion Of Canada
Though Resentment Is Fell
Over the Payne Tariff Bill.
Future Policy Will Be to Clean Up
Present Difficulties.

Montreal, Sept. 2-While 1t is true that
there is resentment in this country over
the new provisions of the Payne tariff,
in so far as they affect the pulp and paper
industries. it is felt both at ottawa and
Quebec that nothing can be gained by the
imposition of export duties. The federal
government, it is officially announced.
will not take any action of retaliatory
nature in this direction. and any legisla-
ton it may enact will be directed rather
to final settlement of the difficulties at
present in the way than any aggravation
OF those difficulties.
1t can be authoritatively announced
that tile future action of the Quebec pro-
vncial government will be in line with
the policy most acceptable to the Do
minion as a whole, rather than any cali
culated to meet only the immediate situa-
ton as it is found in the province OF
Quebec. ~
The existing timber leases in that pros
vince, including more than 1000 square
miles owned by Americans, expire at the
end of the current year. The govern
ment will have to decide upon its policy
soon so that it may be carried into eff
feet with the granting of the new leases.
1t is certain that the provincial govern
ment will elect to follow the example OF
Ontario and make 1t a stipulated essen
tial condition of all new leases that there
shall be absolutely no expectation of I'M
