These are to be laid out on the latest town-planning lines, the intention being to make the whole undertaking a most up-to-date one. The firm declined to discuss its plans today, but It Is learn ed on good authority that they will be put through on a most comprehensive scale. The location for such a pur pose is Jin meat one. xne msaaie Press at present employs about fifty hands.

The Hon. Mr. Fisher, not receiving Information about the reported withdrawal of the Chateauguay pageants at the Festival of Empire, cabled Loud Strathcona as follows: Ottawa, May 17, 1911. "Dominion, London Wae fully convinced you did not participate in the action of festival committee in omitting Battle Chateauguay from list of pageants. Referring to newepaper report that representation was omitted from the list of pageants at Festival of Empire for fear of offending Americans, there ha been much comment in house of commons and strong disapproval expressed.

Canadians fully convinoed no reason to believe the tableaux would have suggested effect, as Americans themselves frequently celebrate battles with British and could not take any exception to this, or feel hurt; while Canadians consider that incident is one involving much pride in our history and a eignlfloant success of our people in a period of fcrmaition of national character, and which is emiblemaitic of our patriotism and national devotion to British in stitutions. Am convince! Canadians generally would view with much gratification the Inclusion of this tableaux at ithe festival. Note this morning newspaper report of interview with LasceHes, which if true does not satisfy people here. "(Sgd). FISHER." Yesterday the minister received the following reply from Lord! Strathcona: London, May 18, 1911.

riK'fie, Mb Matter Will Come Before the Privy Council. And Accused Perhaps Put on Wis Defence Again The Federenko case Is again tJ the fjre. He was the Russian fugitive from Justice who was released by Judge Robson at Winnipeg on the ground that the extradition law had not been complied with. The Russian government was not satisfied and on the plea that the decision of Judge Robson was based on a technicality, took ai uppeal to the imperial authorities to whom it was- represented that there had been an Interference (n Canada with Russian rights. A corn- Jnlcatlon has now been rece.ved LIU 111 L11IS tUlUliiat U11JV.D DUfjOi-ciuio the case be re-opened and the govern ment, which has no desire that an injustice should be done to Russia, wlli consent to the proposal of the imperial authorities.

The matter will therefore be referred to the privy council at London and if the decision at Winnipeg Is reversed Federenko will again be placed on trial that is if he is located by the Russian detectives. Should he again undergo a trial there would no doubt be a renewal on the part of other Russians and labor organizations as was the cast last December. It was then claimed that the accused was a victim of Russian tyranny. Thousands of dollars have been spent by the Russian government In connection with the case. DR.

May 23. The Imperial conference, which has now practically as-eumed the functions of a grand council of the British empire, opened tha third series of its quadrennial deliberations today, under the chairmanship of Premier Asquith, at the foreign office.

Besides the members of the imperial cabinet, fifteen premiers, including Sir Wilfrid Laurler and ministers from the oversea dominions oi the empire settled down to discusj euch knotty problems as the coordination of the navies and land forces for Imperial defence; the declaration of London: analmperial court of appeal; an all-red transportation line to encircle the globe, and a future constitution of the British empire. The hope Is expressed that out of the discussion of the last topic may come some definite proposal for the federation of the empire. The Anglo-American relationship Is likely to be discussed in connection with the question of imperial defence, as also is the part which the Australasian navies are to play In that defence, as Australia since the visit of the American fleet to that continent three years ago has come to regard the United States as a possible ally In the Pacific The fiscal question probably will take a back seat in the discussions In view of the determination of the Liberal government to keep the door bolted against anything of the nature CHATEAUGUAY IS TO BE DEPICTED Festival of Empire Program Is Changed Again. London, May 22. The Canadian pageant committee has arranged to include In the Festival of Empire the scene depicting the battle of Chateauguay, the withdrawal of which has been much resented by Canadians.

It was anonunced In April that the Canadian committee, of which Lord Btratliccna is president, had decided to eliminate from the coronation program Canada's principal contribution. This piece which has been in course of preparation at the Crystal palace was entitled "Chateauguay, whore Canada was held for the Empire," and was Intended to represent the defeat, -through strategy, of an invading American force In 1S13 by a handful ot Canadians. It was thought that the pageant might wound the susceptibilities of American visitors and that It might cause a feeling which would endanger the conclusion of the proposed Anglo-American arbitration treaty. Later It was explained that the opposition was not from Americans but from other unnamed parties. Oiposltlon to the withdrawal was strong In Canada and the matter was made the imbjoct of discussion In the Dominion parliament.

The Herald on the subiect of the Imperial conference says: "We have already accomplished much more by the process of tentative progress than any brilliant scheme ot imperial federation would have been likely to give us." IMPERIAL.

DEFENCE. London, May 23. Whatever may the actual decisions it records, the imperial conference which opens todav will be of unique Importance because it is of a character entirely new in the history of the British empire. For the first time foreign relations and the Imperial defence will form the main subject of discussion. It seems to be generally believed that one outcome of the conference will be the perfection of a scheme ot Imperial military defence, all the units of which will be linked up; all to be automatically controlled, yet all forming a part of the empire system, and all acknowledging Imperial guidance In matters permitting of consultation and cooperation such as Inspection and the exchange of officers.

WATER SUPPLY INADEQUATE Dr. Shirreff Orders Auxiliary Plants Closed. A serious condition with regard to the water supply of the city exists today. In many parts of the city, notably In New Edinburgh and Ottawa South anil also at Itoekllffe there Is practically no water pressure at all, and numerous complaints are being registered at the city hall. The water famine la due to the breakage of three of the big pumps at 'the pumphouse, and to the refusal of Lr.

Shirreff, the medical health officer, to allow the plants at Ottawa East and Hlntonburg to be placed in operation, before the waiter there Is tested. The medical health officer la bound that there shall be no recur rence of any epidemic In the city and has ordered the Hlntonburg plant. which stained before he was aware ot It, to be closed down again, until the reeults of the water tests are known. The plant at Ottawa East, although everything Is In readiness, has not been started. The result of the tests of the water will not be known until the morning.

Or. Shirreff and Dr. Bryce paid a visit to the Hlntonburg pump house and Inspected the hypochlorite plant Installed there, pronouncing It in good order. Fire Chief Graham Is ready for any emergency that may arise through the shortage of water. He had all his engines In good shape, and as there Is plenty of water in the mains, expects no difficulty In coping with any blaze that might break out.

The mayor stated that his principal reason for Issuing hit proclamation against the use of firecrackers was the condition at the pump huuse. It Is px peeled ithat one of tho pumps lil be repaired by tomorrow, but Uj other two will not be working for a month yet. NO BLAMEFOR DEATH Inquest on Otto Fabricius Was Concluded Last Night.

The long-standing dispute between the Canadian Pacific railway and Its sectionmen will probably be aired at the next sitting of the railway commission here on Juno 6. An application has been made for the consideration of the question ot the length of sections to be worked by section gangs and the number of men In a gang." It is understood to have originated with the section hands employed by the company and will be of considerable importance to them, to the company and also to the public as it will affect the quality ot the work done In laying track. Although the application concerns the C.

P. R. particularly any ruling the board may make will likely have a general ap plication and will thus affect all roads. Another operating matter betore trie board at its Ottawa sitting will be that of the removal of snow cleaning devices from locomotives. It is understood the contention is that such de vices constitute a danger to the public safety.

The application will probably give rise to an Interesting argument HAS HANDS FULL NOW Mayor is Not Favorable to Tak ing in tastvi-ew. Mayor Hopewell does not look with favor on any proposal to annex the municipality of Kastvlew. We have enough annexation on our hands at present," be declared, "and do not think that it is necessary to annex Bastvlew in order to have the street railway extended to the ceme terles. The company may say that it will go by no other route than tne Montreal road, but it is. bound to go the wav the city orders by vote of council.

"Even If we did go by the Montreal road, it would be possible for the city to get the authority to purchase the bridge. The whole question wouia have to be submitted to the people, and if the people authorized the ex- oenditure. the legislature would not object. In any event, whether East view was annexed or not, if the city wished to run the car tracks over CummliiKs' bridge, It would have to pay the whole cost."
