THE FAVOR|1E.

LONDON, March 2l.-The Duke OF
Connaught, accompanied by his wife
and daughter, are leaving Canada
this week for England and it is gener-
ally Understood here that His Royal
HighnesS will not return to Ottawa,
though as yet there has been no Off
cial announcement to that effect. The
Duke is known to have a strong and
sincere liking for Canada, and doubt
less would be pleased to remain there
another two years. But the climate
across seas apparently has never
agreed with the Duchess of Con-
naught and in view of this fact it is
believed certain that the Duke has
now practically ended his tenure Of
office as governor general Of the Do
.niH;on.
The question as to who will be nam
ed to succeed the Duke OF Connaught
at Ottawa has become a subject OF
lively speculation here. The names
of half a dozen prominent persons
have been mentioned, among them at
least two close connections OF the
royal family. But the best authori-
ties seem to agree that the young
Earl of Beauchamp has the inside
track and is most likely to win the
race. He has the backing of the cab
met, which should count ninety-nine
points in his favor.
Lord Beauchamp is at present first
commissioner Of works, a position i'll

REPORT AND ORDER

For many years there has been a
law on our statute books requiring
railroads intersecting each other at
grade to make physical connections,
or to furnish other suitable facilities
for the transfer OF cars and traffic
from one line of roads to the other.
The law as originally passed in 1899
made it the duty Of intersecting rail
roads to provide such connections
when deemed necessary by the board
of railroad commissioners" but there
was no provision for a hearing before
the board upon notice to the COM
panies to determine the necessity OF
such connection. The commission
was Simply REQUIRED to give the conf
panies sixty days time in which to
construct a connecting switch or
wye, agd Ahe companies were made
liable sEsa penalty if they refused to
obey the order Of the commission.
One or two attempts were made to
enforce this law in the district court
but they proved abortiye, the courts
doubtless holding the act to be un-
constitutional in failing to provide for
a hearing by the board upon the
EQueslion of the necessity of a physi-
cal connection in each individual in
stance.
During the session Of 1911 a new
law was enacted for the purpose OF
obviating the objection of illegality
made against the act Of 1899, and
this law provides for ample notice
to all parties interested and for a
hearing at which the board of rail
road commissioners shall determine
whether it Is necessary and expedi-
ent to require the construction Of
such transfer facilities. A new fea-
ture was injected into the act pro-
viding that in the absence of ade-
quate transfer facilities freight
should be delivered to the connecting
line at some other convenient point,
but in such cases the same transfer
should be applied by each railroad
as If the freight were shipped over
the shortest route. 1t does not appear
that any of the companies voluntarily
constructed their traffics upon the
basis of the short routing provided
for by the statute.
This application was made by the
National Briquetting Co.. which oper-
ates a coal mine at Kenmare. N. D.,
asking that the Great Northern Rail
day company and the Minneapolis, st.
Paul & Sault Ste Marie Railway Co.,
be required to establish traffics be-
tween points on their different sys-
tens which could be served by the
shorter lines in case wyes were con-
structed at the points where the rail-
roads of these companies intersect
each other.
A sufficient and adequate notice of
this hearing was served upon all the
railroads doing business within the
state. However, the order of this
board at this time will not go further

holder Of which is also a cabinet. min
lister. For q mar OF his years-he
has just passed forty-his caree has
been one of rather unusual distinc'
ton. At the age of twenty-four he
was mayor of the city Of Worcester,
and before he had reached his twenty
eighth birthday he was governor of
New South Wales, ose Of the most de.
sirable offices of it's kind in the gift
of the crown. /
AS governor of New South Wales
he is said to have displayed executive
ability Of high order. Also in his ia.
vor may be stated the facts that he
is exceedingly wealthy and a mar OF
high culture. He has, perhaps, a too
exalted view of the worth and prerog-
atives OF the aristocraCy. which vul-
nerable point has left a welcome OPP
ening for his enemies, who have no;
hesitated on occasion to call him a
snob and a prig. In conclusion, it may
be said that Lord Beauchamp is or
a very pious turn OF mind. He has az.
ways taken an active interest in
church and Sunday school work and
in his youth he carried his enthusi:
assn so far as to appear in the role
OF a street preacher.
The Canadian post, there is little
doubt, would be highly acceptable to
the Countess l}eauchamp, who is a
sister of the immensely wealthy Duke
OF Westminster, and before her mar
rlage, some ten years ago, was Lady

near Malvern, the beautiful home of
Lord and Lady Beauchamp. Their
eldest son, Viscount Elmley, is nine
years old, and they have four other
children.
Lord B~eauchamp's peerage is COM
paratively modern, being less than a
century old, and his connection with
the historic house of Beauchamp,
which played SO prominent a part in
history, is indirect and remote. The
father Of the present Earl was at one
time a captain in the Worcestershire
Neomanry cavalry and subsequently
one of the Lords Of the Admiralty, it
having been thought advisable, so it
seems, that the board which admin.
listers the British naval affairs should
be strengthened by the appointment
thereto of a horse marine.
