pfcfcence, thpHpflf came to the test, w 52 voted, a very low figure. There a*e 85 sitting Liberals, so that 33, or nearly two-fifths, absented themselves. Judg- ing by the records of the Conservatives when in opposition with practically equal numbers, from 60 to 65 would have been a fair attendance, so that the Liberals fell heavily below normal figures.

On the other hand, the Conservatives produced 104, so that their absentees numberec: a little over one per cent. Judging again by Liberal records in the last parliament, 100, or even a little less, is a fair attendance for the min- isterial party, so that the Conservative turnout was quite normal. The ma- jority was 52, far above normal.

The situation Is that the Liberals gave a very half-hearted support to the policy of the fight over the tariff commission bill. They did very badly in the debate. They declaimed against •'high protection," but admitted that they themselves were protectlonslsts. They could make out a case only by assuming that the men whom the gov- ernment will appoint as commissioners will be thoroughly unworthy persons. They resorted in some cases to giai-ing- ■ appeals. Their expressions

occasionally were aim""! savage The Conservative speeches in reply were of unusual merit. Especial -mention may be made of the pointed nature of Mr. Middleboro's summary of tho al- most cruel force and lucidity of Mr. M.ighen's pounter-attack on the Lib- erals and of the readiness of retort of Mr. Aikins.

After the debate was over a consid- erable number of the Liberals showed so little interest or so much caution that they did not vote.

Not Party Politic* Mr. Mlddleboro rebutted the asser- tion that the commission will ally party politics and the tariff more closely than at present. What is the difference, he asked, between the bureau of In- vestigation and the commission? also noted the fact that the United States tariff board hud been consti- tuted concurrently with the movement io reduce tho. tariff. The commission is to be appointed to obtain facts, he argued, and facts are valuable where- and however obtained. In conclusion, Mr. Middlebro sum- marized the objects of the commission as folio

(1.) it will be the medium of gath- < ring accurate and definite informa- tion on production, transportation and prices of goods at home and abroad.

(j.) Information may be obtained on oath and by the production and inspec- tion of the books of any concern. Thus the need of protection and bonuses can be proved or disproved.

(3.) In so far as Jurisdiction Is con- cerned on the commission it will tend to remove the tariff from party poll- tics and transfer It to a semi-Judicial body; but no executive or legislative powers are given It to affeei our rev- enues'.

(4.) It will meet a long felt that of a body of experts on our tariff and on conditions of production, at home and abroad.

(5.) It will enable the government to decide whether or not combines exist; ir the verdict is that they do, the. gov- ernment dan reduct the duty.

The sitting of the legislature yestcr- dav was taken up. wholly with the read- ing of the bulky Forest Act in commit- tee or the whole. Mr. Bhatford, the chairman of committee, read through a laige part of it. Most of its clauses seemed to be acceptable to the legisla- ture, the only real contention arising OUt of the bush fire sections, which were criticized in turn by Mr. Williams, Mr. Brewster and Mr. Hay ward. Hon. Mr. Boss, minister of lands, informed the house that it was intended to' repeal the Bush Fires Act, the contents of which contained in the bill before the I over for fur-

Prevention of Bush Tires

The reading of i;he sections " of the Forest Act" went on quietly till the chairman came to the portion dealing With bush fires and their proven lion.

Mr. Williams asked If a farmer clear- ing land was to be under the Bush Fires Act or the bill before the house?

Hon. Mr. Ross replied thai it was the intention to repeal the Bush Fires Act, and have all its provisions incorporated Mils bill and operated by the proposed forests board. There would be little or ItVi change in the provisions.

Quebec Preparing for Notable Step in Advance in Regard to Electoral Matters — New Government Biii

GIVES PRACTICAL

MANHOOD SUFFRAGE

QI'KKi:'', Feb, 8.— Manhood suffrage la practically granted in the new govern- ment bill amending the Quebec elec- toral laws. The bill has been printed and was distributed this afternoon.

It provides in a wide sense that any- one who earns $10 a month is a quali- li.d voter. By this latter provision the mass of people become voters, and it would be dithi ■■>< fcO sij Who La ex- cluded except vagabonds and tramps of no known occupation. -

Plural voting;, which has existed In Quebec since colonial days, is abolished, and the one-man-one vote principle Is to be enforced This will, of itself, be- come a notable step in advance In Quebec, as a voter must, qualify at hds domicile, i'1 i respective of what prop- er! v he may have, he may vote but once. While property qualification remains the amount is not determined, so long

as it la property.

The main feature of the bill is that it extends the number Of qualified

patera b; reducing t nlnimnm the

property qualilieHi imi and it regulates the principle of the one-man-one vote

i.<, requiring that registration shall lake

place at the place of residence.

111., righl to vote Is extended to priests, clergymen, college professors and teachers, without any other quali- fication.

MADRID, Feb. 8. — The flood situa- tion is. ranWlj becoming worse, and Minister of works tonight left for here tin- situation is critical, people of Seville are frantically throwing up barricades In an almost hopeless attempt to stem the torrent. Part of the Seville guards barracks has been underminea, causing its col- lapse. The occupants were rescued with difficulty, and one of the res- cuers was drowned. Conditions are so alarming In that crty that the king and premier have decided to proceed there.

Tonight the electric light station was flooded, phmglng the city into dark- ness. Fifteen thousand workmen tem- porarily are thrown out of employ- ment

The tributaries of the Guadalquivir river are over their banks, the flood carrying everything before it.

A boat on Its way to La Algaba, three miles from Seville, was capsized today, three persons being drowned. There Is no news of two trains on the Cadiz line, and it is feared they have been caught in the flood. At Madrid :i,. Manaxares river has overflowed, inundating the houses along its banks. Bad in Portugal LISBON, Feb. 8.— Serious floods are reported from all parts of Spaia Portugal. Many rivers and small streams have overflowed their banUe, Inundating entire villages.

to do so. ;

The opinion here Is that the rebels do not possess power to compel the premier to act. The readiness of the republicans to agree to a permanent armistice, and also their willingness to grant the court liberal concessions, in- spires the belief that they themselves recognize their inability to capture Peking. Reports received at the capi- tal Indicate that the republican predica- ment is worse than that in which Premier Yuan finds himself.

•'This is apparent." he continued, -when we consider that 150,000 good American citizens are leaving our coun- try every year to take up homes under another flag because opportunities ln thiscountry are limited.

"Our public domain, once an empire in extent, today offers no opportunity for the poor man," said Mr. Blaneherd. "it will not produce crops without an expenditure of money beyond the means of the average citizen."

The Investment of half the cost of the Panama canal would add vast amounts to the national wealth, Mr. Blanchard said, and continued;

"Conservation engineers state that there are yet 30,000,060 _cres of desert to which water can be supplied and' 80,000,000 acres of swaii.p and over- flowed lands, which can be drained. The economic importance of such a work as this scarcely can be realized. The reclamation of this vast area would provide homes on the land for 2,750,000 families; each family occupying a forty- a. re farm.

"The government's Home Rule bill would lit into a general parliamentary evolution, leading ultimately to the fed- eration of the empire. This was the, only way to free the house of commons from its present congestion."

Mr. Churchill contended that a set- tlement of the long quarrel between the British government and the Irish peo- ple would be a boon to the Empire be- yond compare, aa the Irish through- out the world were a. power who had In the past mostly .worked counter to British Interests.

LORD HALDANE

VjSITS GERMANY

Continued from Page One.

The entire British press Is united in demanding vigorous action to uphold the national honor. Even the London Times takes the view: "That a British citizen abroad lias been harshly con- demned In 'circumstances .'.affording 'no security for innocence and raisins a strong' presumption of grave miscar- riage of justice.''

The Conservative Standard this morn- ing says: "The judicial outrage perpe- trated by the supreme court of tin G< nitin Empire at Lelpale tn condemning Mr. Bertrand Stewart to detention in a fortress for three years and a half. Is responsible for the growing volume of iteitKofcttiuOi tbioutjiiout Entjitinu."

That the sentence is regarded by Enslishmcn in general as a piece of gross Injustice Is shown very emphati- cttTTy by the course of public opinion.

LONDON. 1'Vli. P.— The Times says thai although Secretary Haldane lias no direct official mission, doubtless his presence might be used to comply with the wish recently expressed in high of- ficial circles in Berlin for an open talk With some members of the British gov- ernment.

''Great Britain's position during the Morocco negotiations was so WidalS misunderstood in Germany," continues the Times, "thai she is credited even In the 1. est disposed German quarters with , ■ designs upon German secur- ity, viscount Haldane should be better ante than any one etsa ,n remove, sucb suspicions and make it perfectly cleaj

WASHINGTON. Feb. 8.— Secretary Knox's note to Count von Bernstein, the German ambassador, just made pub- lic.

Mr. McBrlde In his speech at the Can- adian Club banquet said that within three years there will be seven hundred miles of railway on Vancouver island. •Thi* will naqwwitot* the construction of approximately «W miles, and if we include U» cost ot the railway* theltt- se&M*. the terminal, facilities, and the expenditures in connection therewith that will be necessary, we* do not think we err when we put the outlay of money that this rail- way construction will necessitate at

In the cane of France many of the goods shipped at h*r porio cum*, from Switzerland, while many shipped at German ports have their origin u> Northern Austria and Poland, so that our exports of British manufactured goods per head of the population prob- ably equalled those of France. Germany, and the United States combined

The Mail further says:

During the year we received £62,987,- 600 in gold and silver bullion and coin, and s*nt away £57,024,077. leaving us £5.088.423 to the good. Of diamonds we received about 8 millions worth ' fttjjgf South Africa.

amount W^g^^^l^^S received in merchandise, fold. &*** and stones 187 millions worth more than we sent away, wherewith to pay the earnings of our shipping end the interest on investments abroad.

In addition W all this wo are spr- ing 10 millions a year on old ago pen- sions. 40 millions a year on the navy, and during the past five years haws cleared off 58 millions of war debt, be- sides sundry millions extra for new purposes.

The libel suits arising out of the recent municipal elections in Montreal, ■et forth claims for damages aggre- gating more than 1250,000. We did not know any given set of aldermen could be damaged that much.

something between $30.OO0.06o and I4U.- 000,000. One well-Informed person, to whom this estimate was stated, said it was too low; but even a thirty-million dollar expenditure in three years in one line of activity alone will signify more thar any of iu* can tell at^he present time. ;

/While this vast outlay of money will mean very much to us all while It is bting expended, the resultant benefit from the opening- of the Island by such an amount of railway mileage will be great, progressive and lasting. Mr. Mc- Brlde has been able to inaugurate s> policy of Island development such as we have all been looking forward to, but v.hlch for many years seemed hopeless of realisation. .'«• hgfc;|pi^'^weak fea- ture In the spirit of all- western com- muni ties ttm^m^m^J^^l^^^i^VSf^^i^ to look .far \jt$fl0Jf or perlty.

The Colonist hardly need reiterate that one of the principal articles initscreeda* to Vic- toria's future is the early establishment of all rail ^connection with the Main- land; but we have always appreciated the great things to be derived from what can be accomplished on our own Island.

Day before yesterday we gave some statistics of British investments in 1011; yest.erday we gave the latest statistics of inter-Imperial trade. This morning we give the trade returns of the United Kingdom for 1911, They total the vast sum of £1,237,592. 395. or very considerably mor.e than six billion dollars. This is "practically £27 9s. per head of the population, or £82 per head of the wage-earners, in which are in- cluded men, women, boys, and girls; without taking into account tho move- ments of bullion, specie, or precious stones. That was an Increase of £367,- 707,968 in ten years, while our popula- tion has increased but four millions In the same period." Here are the fig- ures relating to the various classes of goods:—

W« know of no better demonstra- tion of the great value of the anti- tuberculosis crusade than Is afforded by the fact that the death rate in Ger- many from tuberculosis has decreased 62% per cent, in twenty years, be- cause of the precautions taken to pre- vent the spread of this dread disease. The test of a successful campaign of this kind is not in the number of in- dividual cases affected, but the de- crease in the number of victims. It may be impossible to cure a patient in whom the malady has reached a certain stage, but it is quite possible to reduce greatly the number of cases.

A *ew night* *gP, according to a report just ma*e> fOACfr, pafley arrested Alfred .Miller onv:*p«l*^ carrying concealed weapons. Miller was at the time on his way to a meeting of the Young People's Society in the Methodist church. For some time past he had been endeavoring to force his attentions upon a young lady identified with that organization, and had stated when he purchased the revolver that. he intended to use It — either as a compelling argu- ment in his suit or to kill the young lady and himself.

Having locked up Ills man. the con- . wen I away, returning later with the prisoner's supper. He opened the j cell and entered unarmed, and as he did so Miller made for "him with a 4-foot length of 2-lnch iron pipe; The officer i in Just in time to miss a smash- ing blow: The pipe hit. hijn °ver the left ear, laying bick the scalp, hut the force of the blow had been checked by the swift inrush of the officer.

Wrestling with the prisoner Bailey forced him to drop the piece of pipe, which was kicked out of reach. Miller then seized a shorter piece and cu me again to the attack, being again dis- armed, and eventually handcuffed and safely stowed away. .

Investigation then disclosed that the prisoner had broken the 2-inch drain pipe running close to the cell wall from the washroom above. The man had nothing save his two hands wherewith to do the trick, yet the pipe had been broken squarjtly off between the points of contact and then torn out of Its fas- tenings.

Miller itae> been fi,i< ,' +10 .,r..I SSC costs and given a term of three months' Imprisonment in addition. Constable Bailey took him to Kamloops jail.

, Stonrt As Debt Collector— When: the case of George H. Franklin, a Seattle man, charged with having defrauded J. IS. Best of fBOO by means of a promis- sory note, was called In the police court yesterday morning. City Prosecutor Harrison said he would not go on with the case as it appeared to be one in which an attempt was being made to collect money by means of the prosecu- tion. It appears that Best, after ap- plying tot-.the police «<>t(lon for assist- ance in getting Franklin back from Se- attle went to the Sound city himself and got |200 on account. Detective Perdue went to Seattle and got accused to come to Victoria. Now the informant does not want to prosecute further. The case will, however, have to be pro- ceeded with and a remand was granted until this morning, so that Best may have an opportunity to take legal advice.

Wyllle. as clerk in the office of the government agent at Hazelton. Announcement is made of the rescinding of the appointment as a justice of the peace of George Harold Bou'ton.

Heavily Tined — In the police court yesterday the proprietor of a store li- censed to sell liquor by the bottle was convicted of the charge of selling to an interdicted person end a fine, of $100 v»»s" Imposed, which was paid. The de- fendant pointed out that the law as it stands makes It almost impossible for licensees to observe the regulations in respect to non-selling to interdicted persons,. There are at present no less than 85 such persons on the lists, and it was, in his opinion, obviously an impossibility for the vendor to know such persons, as no description was furnished by the police. The magis- trate expressed sympathy with the views of the defendant and the court prosecutor said that the law was faulty in the manner 'described by defendant and that an effort would be made to have it amended in the legislature. The Interdict, a man named Herbert Houns- low, admitted that he bought the llq- our. In imposing sentence Magistrate Jay remarked that he had no alterna- tive In the matter.

of Woman Suffrage

Riwcett one of the strong- est advocates of Woman Suffrage in Great Britain, la delighted with the proa* pect that lies before those who hays* worked to get for women and for the country what she regards as a great boon. Writing in Utf ••KnKii.siiwomari." Mrs. Fawcett declares that "It is With tg&--ali,htrst '■..■oT'a.tn V. .. i<hSI

lost .of women who have worked so many decades earnestly and persistently for woman's enfranchisement come within sight of their goal." Yet though •Mrs. Fawcett believes that a Woman Suffrage Amendment to the government reform bill will pass, she does not think that the House of Oommona will sit. tht* sion venture to add four million men and eleven million women to the elector- ate. She points out that the greatest number ever heforr- enfranchised at one time was two million by the Reform Bill of 1884.

It is very evident that the writer fears defeat if th. enfranchisement of all v "ii. h i.« insisted upon. It is necessary. it' the amendment is to pass, to secure the support of the Conservatives and win not agree to adult auffrage. What Mrs. I thinks should be

Parental Authority

Not long ago a mother in a small town In Washington was imprisoned because she would not allow her chil- dren to attend a school where she be- lieved there was danger of infection. This Is pushing compulsory school at- tendance to an absurd and dangerous length. Surely the parents must be allowed to protect their own children from what they behove to be dangers. On the other hand, many parents interfere with their children's educa- tion in a very unreasonable way, Mothers give children excuses which enable them to leave school to attend parties, to go to places of amusement and sometimes to take music or other lessons. Often the real reason is not Stat'-'! git ing the child a lesson in deceit, which does far more harm than the loss ,.f the school period. The teacher who receives such excuses is placed in a very ,!ifi;,-u!t position. On the one hand, neither the parent's word nor authority should he <iuea- tioned, on thd other, the child's own good cannot be overlooked. The oc- casional absence of a child from school - him far less harm than would be occasioned by a conflict of authority

between the home ami the school, or

sense, of Injury, or, perhaps,

injustice. on the other hand, there

THE FINAL WORK-OUT fast professionals in their final practice for the Vancouver

game here tonight.

the trailers, should make t lie match nil the more interesting. There is little doubt but that the game will be a fast one right from the very start until the rings for full time. The fans are that it -will not hang for the first peri...! as the last game here did. but then thorp can be no kick about ..,,,• jjamt. hoincr slow in the first period I it -has a whirlwind finish ouch as marked the Vancouver-Westminster game here a week ago. However, a hockey game is very often rather slow and ragged" for the first few minutes.- as it takes time for the players to get warmed up and hit their stride. Those who have been following the game closely in this ritv will have noticed ti.it the local aggregation of puck- chasers invariably is not in the best of trim in the first period, but It is during second and last that they show their real form.

Every player on the home team is in the pink of condition, and during the recent practices the team as a whole, .wed rare form. The last practice was heid on Wedneadaj iX lernoon,- and during that one hour the puck was car- ried from end to enu and side to side »-lth a neatness and rapidity that was encouraging to the fans as well as a credit to the team. Occasionally there one or more courageous amateurs, ■ 10 venture Into the fray with the •pros," and while they are not general- ly any worse off when they leave the they have little chance to handle rubber, except when blocking or i iking a pass. An amateur, in fact vnry much amateur, who ha* hern turn- out of late with the team, is •■Shorty" Ward. "Shorty" endeavors to protect one of the nets from the occa- sional Hhnts of- the forwards, Sdd when aoasa't fall on -the puck he manages to stop it Bome way. At any rate the players don't, score more than ?bur Urnee In five Wheti "Shorty" is In front of tb« net.

Here is what he says about the capital

with general business conditions in

fine shape, houses going up iri all dis- tricts and enthusiasm lteen over the approaching season. Victoria promises t« have a good year in baseball. Gen- eral Manager Wattelet did not turn out a pennant winner last season— no one ■ ' . cted he would— but he sucfceued putting a line city before the coun- try at large as it has never been ad- *rti .fore. The business men

recognize the value of baseball, out- side of sport. It is too bad that the old blue laws, relics of antlauity, should prevent the working classes from enjoying a clear,, moral and healthful form of sport on Sunday.

Mr. Bernard's letter to the Bportlng editor follows: Sir— Just a few lines In defnuct.- of Joo Bayley, for whom-I claim the title of lightweight-champion nt r»n»rta, Wby do I make this claim? Well. In the first place, Billy Lauder has always been the recognized cham- pion of Canada, and -Toe Bayley defeat- ed him in three rounds.

Now why l» this talk going on about Allen- being the lightweight champion? Some private person named Flanagan hung up a belt for the honors, but can anyone say whom Alien beat for this belt?" Did he fight Lauder, who . Is the undisputed champion? No. Then what puts Allen "ht a position to be the cham- pion of his division, unless It Is that belt?

I'll tell you what I'll do. I am will- ing to bet *»00 as a cide Vet that Allen can not stand up and take the same punishment that Decoursey did in his bout with the kid on Monday night, for he is certainly some game old timer to stand the steady gruelling, considering the fact that every punch which Bayly puts over hurts and hurts bad.

PURE PAINTS

All ready for use. Simply choose the right color from the forly-seven shades in which M-L paints are made — take off the cover, stir a bit and start to work. You'll find M-L Pure Paints spread easier, cover more surface, give a smoother, glossier finish than any other paint you could buy.

Use M-L Paint and You Won't Have to Paint so Often

Other paints soon fade, blister and flake off be- cause other makers haven't yet found out, as we have, how to mix a special ingredient with other pure materials to make an elastic, durable paint that stands extremes of wear and weather, and keeps its lustre for the longest time.

Brookes became the server, and watk« ed off with the next game with the greatest ease..

The fear at once spread amongst the spectators that America would be able to annex every game in whifpSn Dunlop Was the

that illusion,

atch. only one other game in which he was the server was scored against him.

Although he was getting little or no screw on the ball, ho had plenty of pace, and was placing perhaps more accurately than any of the others. He save his partner fine opportunities at the net, and Brookes was not slow to take advantage of them. In fact from this' on Dunlop continued to improve in every department of the game. His low volleys were clean and crisp, his tosse:« were well judged, and his smash- ing was severe and effective. The score then stood at 2 ail.

Wright ag»ln took the service, and another double (fault was registered against him.

After a few smcrt rallies the game went to Australasia.

Brookes again scored off his service, making the score 4-2 in favor of Aus- tralasia. ;;

Second Set Brilliant

In the second set the piny all-round was absolutely brilliant, McLougrhlln, more than all the others, earned much applause for his beautiful passing shots and his terrific smashing.

A small boy, much Impressed, quaint- ly remarked during the set, "V.'i.. n Wa< gets on tO ii It's a case of 'Good-bye, inol he:-.' "
