War Century Ago Today is Now Tavern One bundred years ago today the British ship Macedonian, cruising off the Azores, and Decatur s frigate, the Gnitede States, came up with each other at a point on the'Atlantic about 800 miles northwest of Cape Verde on the west coast of Africa. The Uni- fed States immediately opened al raking fire, to which the Macedonian replied, vatiently with all its. thirty- six guns. After a number of the Bri- tish man-o'-war's: guns had been dis- mounted, and. most: of her guniers or. Wounded, the surrendered. Atthough he had achieved a brilliant Yietory, Decatur thought it necessary to/epologize for the length of time Spent ini-forcing a surrender by r a- son cf A-rough sea and the enemy's reluctance to come to closer quar- ters, 2 ie The Macedonian was, tie only British witn-o'-war brought in as a Prize to an American port. Great en- thusiasm) was manifested when she Wasitowed into Portsmouth, N. H. After remaining there a short time the United States Navy Department ordered the vessel taken to the Brooklyn Navy Yard. On the way she sprang a leak, for sie bad been Pretty well knocked to pieces in bat- te, and to save her from sinking she Was beached at City Island, near New York City, now favorite resort for yachtsmen. Inspection by naval experts showed that the Macedon- fan was unfit for sea service, and she was placed on the block to be Kndeked down to the highest bidder. Only one man, named Smith, appear- ed to have any desire to own a man- o -war, and secured title to the. fri- gate for the ridiculous sum of 25. Mr. Smith opened a bar in the ca- Bin of the picturesque old wreck, on the City Island beach, and the novel- ty of the thing attracted many pat- Tons, Upon the death of Smith he Was succeeded by his son Jacob, who dullt a three-storey addition to the frigate and called it the Macedonia Hotel. The tavern is the most pop-. lar resort on City Island, and is a Populer place for the Picnics of po- Hitica organizations. Jacob Smith ied this year, survived: by eighty- four children, grandchildren and Sreat-grandchildren, One of his daughters now runs the tavern. The centennial of Decktur's capture of the Macedonian will be fittingly obser- ed there today. The upper deck 6f the vessel Is now Used as a dancing floor, the lower deck contains u bar, whil the cab- ins are used as bedrooris for the Suests of the historic tavern. Th late Jacob Smith had a tremendous Sentimental attachment for the old ship, amd once refused ab offer of 50,000 Tor it. The offer was made by an Englishman, who ought to re- turn the frigate to the land from whose. shores it-had sailed a hundred years ago, Now that Jacob Sift fs. dead, itis understood that au Eng- lish historical society has renewed ite efforts to purchase the vessel, It 1 noteworthy that today Is also the centennial of the sailing of the Constitution, famed in American Raval: annals as Old Tronsides. on -setond cruise, With Bainbridge in command, and in company with the Hornet, the Constitution left Bos- ton on Oct 25, 1812.

Vanvouver, Oct. inmifient in a very serious nature lar policy of ernment stuffs, is the Co., one of the foremost private banks n Germfany, with headqhar- ters in Karlsruhe. The action increasing the naval armament is not, as many tion of war Mr. Straus, affording the chief source of supply for Germany,-and as our ports of manufactured articles are in heavy demand with Bnglish buyers, the declaration of hostilities between the two countries that have so much in common would be a.move suicidal to conmerce. * CANNOT EAT MEAT. On the other hand Mr. Straus points out that the lower classes in Germany are chafing under the law which practically prohibits them from eating meat. Under the Jaws which impose heavy duties om the imports of this food the price has been raised to such an alt tude as to place it beyond the reach of any save the rich, and as the home sup- bly is practically nil this presipitat- ed a very serious condition of affairs. At present the only force sus- taining Germany is hercommerce, said Mr. Straus. We camnot afford to suspend this for even a week or a month,)much Jess for the time suf- ficient to settle international dif ferences: that have very trivial causes and effects. We are too poor. . The heavy taxation for naval armament and for equipping the imperial army has been cheerfully met by the Ger- man taxpayers, but it has, neverthe- Jess, left the country in an impover- condition. This and the fiman- cial panic which has resulted from the Balkan campaign has made one thing clear: The commiercial tela- tions of our country must be pre- served at all costs. Aihile the Socialist faction wasi un- doubtedly steadily increasing in pow er in the German imperial govern- ment, Mr. Strans. wished to state that the same drastic measures ad- vocated by the American Socialists were noti entirely included in the pro- paganda of the German body, which was undoubtedly less radical. This has already been proved by the at- titude of representatives from the Grand Duchy of Baden, in the south of Germany. These men, though re- presenting the Socialist party, had forsaken the impracticabl ideas ad- vocated by the main body, and- were co-operating with labor powers in an earnest effort to abate many of the existing injustices which beset the lower classes. It was much to be hoped that de- Nelopment along this line would con- tinue, because it would bave'a ten dency to facilitate the work of the progressive labor party and to grad- ually reduce the power still exercised by reactionary conservative factions. In coming across the continent from the Altlantic coast Mr. Straus. was particularly impressed with the possibilities of the agricultural lands of the Canafian and American prair- ies. Such a cotimtry, if properly cul- tivated, could support the entire world with earth products, and after s eing Ht the could Feddily realize ti8 cause of immigration to the Domin- Yon which had taken place during re- TO STUDY BANKS. Mr. Sttaus stated that he had vis- ited North America prin ipally to study bankiog systems on this side of the water and to look after some large investments held by himself and clients. He was not particularly impressed with the American bank- ing methods, as in some cases (they savored too strongly of speculation. ;There-was-also-a surprising system of trading property prevalent im Can- ada which was almost entirely sup- ported by a credit system, This he thought might be the -nueleas of trouble in the event of stringency ia the money market. ae THE BANKING: BUSINESS GRatly Impressed.

Side Opening Skirts There are numerous side opening skirts with panel or underskirt ar Fangements, and a sort of apron tunic, which has been developed on sonie of the smart summer frocks, appears with variations in new models. A simple clinging robe of satin has an apron with square cornered bibs in fine cloth, front and back, the under Tobe showing for its full length at the sides.

Mr. William Blakemore, Provincial Commissioner, , Returns. from Settle- ments, Victoria, B. , Oct 25 Mr. Wil- liam Blakemore of Vi toria, who was recently appointed a commissioner by the Provincial Government for the Durpose of reporting on Question of Doukhobor settlements in British Columbia, has returned trom. Saskatchewan where he secured im- Portant evidence from the parent col- onies at Yorkton, Buchman, Swan River, Veregin and Prince Albert. His investigations showed that the major portion of these Russians are now ea- tablished ti Britian Columbia. The colonies in Saskatchewan lie between Yorkton and Prince Albert sald Mr. Blakemore to a representa- tive of The Province at the Hotel, Vancouver yesterday. The lands on which these people settled thirteen years ago were placed under reserve Inally each settler got a homestead repested disagreements with the gov- ernm nt and on the adyent of Hon.

They naturally selected) the portions they had previously cul- tivated. Then they resided on the small holdings, but were only tenants at will, no titles ever having been issued and their condition ultimately) became so distasteful that on the ad- Nice of Peter Veregin, their leader, they decided to move elsewhere. This Was the genesis of the exodus to Bri- tish Columbia, I ascertained that the former Liberal Government bad: pass- ed an order-in-council exempting them from military service. Others Coming Westward. Meanwhile the community had acquired by. purchase 120,000 acres, chiefly in adjacent Hudson's Bay Co, land reserves and this tended to keep these people together. Only the early Payments on this land were made and large sum is still due the vendor. It is on this land that the Doukho- bors remaining on the prairies are, settled. I further ascertained that during the past thirteen years 1000 munity to become independent, farm- ers. They have made homestead en- tries and bought additional land and their condition generally. is a pros- perous one, many of them having amassed considerable wealth. They have become British subjects and comply with registration and school Jaws as well as all other Canadian laws: During my visit to the settlement two trainloads of Doukhodors living inthe community left for British Co- lumbia, their number being over 1500. This brings the total Doukho- bor population in British Columbia to 5000 and leaves in Saskatchewan less. than 3000 of these people, exclusive of independent farmers. The new arrivals have joined the communities at Brilliant, Glade and Grand Forks, all in the Kootenays. Sittings in Vancouyer. found general prosperity pre- vailing in Saskatchewan, The crops are excellent, the weather fine and it ts hardly possible that the whole crop will not be satisfactorily garn- ered, The reason these foreigners are coming. out here 1s owing to the inil- der climate which enables them: to work all winter clearing unimproved timbered afeas. On reaching Nelson a few days ago, I found awaiting me a letter from Hon. Thomas Taylor, Minister of Works, stating that a dis- pute between the Government and the colony at Brilliant had been settled. It was in relation to a bridge there actos the Kootenay River. The Gov- ernment has agreed to grant 320,000 towards the construction of the bridge, provided the community con- tributed the rest of the cost, smount- ing to about 50,000. The bridge will be a st el and concrete atfair and Will be built under the direction of, Mr, Thurston, engineer of the worke department.
