SIR WILLIAM MACKENZIE HERE.
President of Canadian NOrthern
Denies Visit IL for business.

OTTAWA, April 5,--Sir William Mac
kenzie. president OF the Canadian North
ern, left early to-day in his private car
for New York. There Is much interest
and speculation here over his trip. and It
is believed that 1t will figure importantly
In the present railroad situation. Sir
Donald Mann, vice. president of the rail-
way, left last night for Toronto. and may
10 to New York later.
The application Of the Canadian North
ern Railway for IA Government bond guar
antee of S5O.O00.000 has aroused great
opposition and the railway situation Is
greatly complicated.
Chairman Alfred w. Smithers OF the
Grand Trunk board IL expected to arrive
from London soon. when 1t Il expected
that the question OF tho Grand trunk Pa
cinc taking over the eastern section built
by the Government will be discussed with
the Government. Tho belief most com
monty expressed here lB that the COM
pany will refuse to take over that section
and that there will either be a reformation
Of the contract or the Government will
be left with load on It's hands.

IMPROVEMENT NOTES.

The Sunday School Annex to
the Methodist church may not i'm
prove the appearance of the build
ing, but it will prove a great con-
venience as the church proper was
entirely inadequate for the accomo-
ton of the increased Sunday
School attendance and for the past
several months the Masonic Hall
has been used for Sunday School
classes. This addition to the
church is about completed and
will probably be ready for use

Work is progressing rapidly Oh

is being erected Oh the old Burns
lot opposite the church. 1t will b

sufficient to accommodate any oc

story building on Lafayette street
being erected by Zeno Yeates is

iUr furnishings are now under way.

A RUSSIAN MYTH.

The uneducated peasants in the
Cherson province of Russia have an
extraordinary belief that the Car has
only one ear They are confirmed i'm
their belief by pictures and photo
graphs of the Car showing side face
view and naturally exhibiting only one
ear. They account for the absence of
the other in the following manner:
Some time ago. they say, a deputa-
ton from their province waited upon
the Car. and in the course of the
meeting the Car is said to have stat
ed that all Russian land would be
equally divided among the peasants of
the various districts. TO this one of
The deputation boldly said:
AS sure as you cannot see your own

The Cars reply to this was to cut
OFF one of his Che Cars ears. which
he placed upon the table, remarking as
We did so, AS surely as / now see my
ear ! will divide the land"

THE EUROPEAN WAR.

The present European war is really
the outcome of the Russo-Japan war;
comments Henry Clews. Before that
Russlas great power and prestige kept
in check all of the European nations,
they being overawed by her imaginary
exaggerated greatness. The result of
the Russo-Japan war undermined Rus
sia's prestige 10 the point of humila-
ton, Of which Emperor William took
ADVANTAGE To forge ahead, with the re-
Russia's former position as the most
important war power in Europe All
this, together with the self-adulation
of Emperor William, aroused the jeal-
ousy of the Gar thus bringing about
the present contest. which is really a
struggle for supremacy between these
two men. This shows the danger of
one man power No such power should
in this twentieth century be permitted
To exist by the people OF any country.
l say, down with the one man power
rulers-they have had their day and
should become a bygone for the safe
~ and happiness Of the people of the
world. II the European nations con-
tinue TO fight among themselves, as
the MeXicans have done, they will
weaken themselves in men and money
as well as prestige. and VIII put them
selves in a position similar TO Rome |
