London. March 2fi. The Chronicle prints an interview it has secured from Sir William Van Home: "I can remember the time," said Sir William, "when the idea of our transcontinental lines becoming successful was the subject of derision. Yet what is happening today? Why. people have gone farther north to build another trunk line across Canada." Sir William Vnu Home dwelt with enthusiasm on the progress that Canada has already made "Her industries." he said, "are prosperous, her people everywhere are happy and contented, nnd there Is room for every man who is willing to work.

Immigration has been increasing, and a very good class of immigrant has come from the United Statss men possessed both of means and Intelligence." "Aud many American manufacturers have established themselves in the Dominion?" "Yes, they have been driven to do that by our national policy and some of the great concerns in the States have established branches in ('una In, which have assumed very considerable importance." "You consider that the policy of protection is a good one?" "Yes for Canada. I say nothing about this country, for I am not sufficiently acquainted with the question to speak. But uiy view is that a country should manufacture everything it can for Itself, and I would have an even higher tariff for Canada." "You sometimes hear people talk with us of the advantages of free trade," he added, "but when it comes to voting you don't find them." That the great progress shown by Canada of late years would continue Sir William had no doubt. The policy of the Canadian Pacific railway, lie said, had always been to go in advance of the settler, and that policy had been justified by results. The settlers soon came, the year following they raised crops, which furnished traffic for the Hue.

and even if this were not sufficient to make the particular branch railway pay, it went to swell the long distance freight carried by the main line, which proved very remunerative. The Canadian I'acific's advance has been a very remarkable 6ne, and it is really striking to recall that it was as recently as 18S0 that the contract for the construction of the line was signed. Sir William Van Home has been associated with the company from the outset and he has unbounded 'aith in its future. "Imagination," he said, "cannot picture what Canada will be within the next twenty years, aud what the Canadian Pacific will be within the next ten years." ISlHAT'S the time to take a Caa caret.

Andrew Carnegie made a Ktatement Saturday, giving bis views on the proposed reform of English spelling. He aaid: "From Chaucer's time, nnd before, till now, our language, has been constantly changing and improving, not under any rule of system, but simply as occasion hag required new words anil new spelling. "The great Oxford Dictionary, now under publication, gives the history of each word, and shows that words crop into our language in the most hap ha znrd manner. A new word a new want, or an want, better than the word in use did, and so forces itself into tise Nothing can bear it out; while, the word invented with the strictest regard to rule may apply in value. What is slang one year is correct English a few years Inter, is or language enriched.

It is a slow process, hut a steady nnd sure, one. AH the struggles of pdants audi jurist afo Walnut it. "The. organized ffort I have agreed to fiuauce is not revolutionary far from it. Its action will be conservative.

Word after word, it will endeavor to improve the spelling and the language; slowly of course, but hastening the pace if possible, tha is all. The editors wlx are disposed to ridicule the effort, thenisolvcs use words, nnd especially spellings, which their predecessors of a century ago would have denounced as degrading to literature. The editors of the next century will in turn marvel at the uncouth spelling of our present scribes. Since our language has been constructed through unceasing change, literary men should welcome new words and new spellings with a favoring eye, since it is by these alone that further improvement can come. Scholars, denounced 'plow' for for instance, but 'plow' has been accepted.

So with many words that will readily occur to readers. "Our language is likely to prevail in the world, and we may hope it is to become finally the universal language, the most potent of all instruments for drawing the races together, insuring peace and advancing civilization. The foreigner Uai the greatest difficulty in acquiring it, because of trsi spelling. "This is, at least, his chief obstacle, for its grammar Is "Hundreds of scholarly men have agreed to use improved spelling for 12 words. These words arc already well started in actual use.

Other simplifications will be suggested. If meritorious, they will be accepted. "Teachers have assured me that children would he saved more thau a year's instruction if our spelling were simplified. "Why the perverse 'ough' spellings should be continued one cannot uuder stsind. When we write 'tho' it expresses exactly the same ncnse as and expresses the sound better.

This change is so obviously advantageous that I find many already using it in writing, and some of these are British authorities. Indeed, with the superflu ous apostrophe abounds in British authors from Addison down. That tho' will come into general use is certain. Our successors wiil smile at the 'ough' spellings, as we do today nt what we call the 'queer' spelling of Chaucer's time. "In.

trying to hasten the use of simplified spelling, and to improve our own language for the struggle for first place, which is even today ns, we are engaged in a most useful work. If he he a benefactor who makes two blades of grass to grow where one grew before, he is Tin less a benefactor who places a shorter and simply spelt word where a longer and irregularly spelt word cumbered the ground before. "I hope that thoughtful people will give this important nnd conservative reform due consideration and resolve to nse at least two or three simplified words and thus range themselves with us in our effort to carry on the work of improving our mother tongue, nod adapting it to its noble purposes and high destiny."

"BOBS'" TRIBUTE TO THEjCOLONIALS Their Services Were of the Greatest Possible Value. He Says. In the debate in the house of lords on the government's intentions as regards South Africa, Field Marshal Lord Roberts said: My lords, as a soldier sitting on the cross benches in your lordships' house, I do not consider it my business, as a rule, to take any part in debates on political subjects, and I certainly would not do so on the present occasion did I not fee that, were I to keep silent I should justly lay nyrself open to the reproach of having deserted men to whom the success of the late war was In a great measure due, aud whose help to me personally, during that war, was of the greatest value.

The noble viscount opened this debate has expressed himself in strong terms as to the disastrous effect which change in policy would inevitably nave on our position in South Africa. But, strong as those terms were, in my opinion they are justified by the existing state of affairs in that country, and while I deeply regret thnt the noble lord should have good cause to fear calamitous results from such a change, I must declare myself as entirely in accord with the views expressed by him. Moreover, I venture to assort that any such change as the noble lord so greatly dreads would be at variance with the opiniou held by everyone intimately acquainted ajnj: who has reent experience of. South Africa and its or wio can speak with any authority as to the relative positions of those who are fo and are against nt in thai country. You are not now legislating for a colony composed entirely of men of British blood, nor for one composed of mixed races who have become welded Into one loyal whole by the passing; of years, but for a colony the majority of the inhabitants of which were in arms against us quite a short time ago, and of whom a certain number do not even take the trouble to conceal their disloyalty, not to say their animosity, towards Great Britain.

The demands of these men are stated in the plainest possible terms in the letter addressed by Mr, Steyn to Mr. Stead, which was published a short while ago, and those demands would be met in full If Chinese labor is dispensed with under the present conditions of the country, nnd if the basis or representation in the Transvaal is altered, to the ttstri ment of the British residents in that colony. AGITATORS AT WORK. My lords, in the autumn of 1004 I revisited South Africa, and from the knowledge then gained 1 arrived at the conclusion thnt the acute crisis was over, and that, so far as the white races are concerned, the country was gradually settling down. I came across many fanners, both in the Orange River Colony and the Transvaal, some of whom had been sent across the seas as prisoners of war.

They showed absolutely no bitterness of feeling on the contrary, they received me In friendly and expressed themselves as quite willing to fall in with the new order of things. Thev invi ne into their houses and told me. with evident pride, that their children were getting on well with the English language. Their wives were equally friendly in their welcome, and took considerable trouble to present flowers and fruit to I.ady Roberts and my daughters. The one complaint which the farmers made was the absence of means by which their produce could be taken to the nearest murkft.

and thev begged me to do all I could to get the con struction of railwavs pushed forward. But, at the same time, in each colonv. except Natal, agitators were busily engaged in endeavoring to create dissatisfaction, and in stirring up mischief through the loral press, and it is these same agitators who are now fomenting a feeling of disloyalty to the British crown. (Hear, hearj MESSAGE FROM THE FALLEN. Surely we are not going to forsake the men who came forward in the hour of our need.

The return which I bold in my lisud shows that no less then 411.858 South African colonials took part in the war. Of these 1.47:! were killed or died of wounds: 1,007 died of disease: 3.333 were wounded: 1.2:ttt were captured by the enemy, and were returned as missing, making a total of 8.IS7 a very heavy casualty roll, nearly 18 per cent, of the number engaged. The message from llior who fell is inscribed on many a tombstone in South Africa. It runs as follows: "Tell England, ye who pass this monument, that we, in serving her, rest here content." The services of these men. as have already stated, were of the greatest possible value.

They took part in almost every engagement. They saved the day at Wagon Hill, and they were far and away the most nsefnl iwwiits and guides we had. (Opposition cheers.)

In h'otiihern California a land slide on the Santa Fe between Los Angeles and San Kiejo has interrupted communications.

I cannot believe that, after war which cost us so manv valuable lives and nn expenditure of 240,000,000 sterling, the British public would knowingly consent at this juncture to a change in policy, for if they did it would be an ahsolutely convincing proof of their forgetfulness of the past, of their complete ignorance of what is best in the interests of their own country, and of what Is of infinitely greater Importance, their discredit able abandonment of men who fought and bled for us, and who are amongst the most loyal of his majesty's subjects. (Opposition cheers.) TO SAVE HIS GOLD FROMTHE YAQUIS Armor plated Automobile Treasure Cars to be Used by Mr.

Hart. Seattle, March 2(i (Speciall One of the most unique cars for practical use ever built in this country is to be constructed at the factory of the E. R. Thomas Buffalo, N.Y., as the result of nn order taken at the Boston automobile show. The order was placed by L.

H. Hart, of Boston. Mr. Hart has extensive Interests in Mexico, ami among his enterprises are several gold mines, Ever since these rines were opened there has been trouble with Ynqui Indians. The nearest tailroad ia mauy miles away aud all the gold taken from the mines must be sent there for shipment to the north, or to the capital.

It is the custom of the Ynquis Jo attack the gold trains, sweeping down the guards in the narrow passes anil mountain roads. As a consequence it has been found necessary to increase the number of guards uutil the gold trniii now resembles a small army. The utmost caution is always necessary, scouts being sent out in advance. Early in the year Mr. Hart bought two Thomas inrs.

nnd after he had given them exhaustive tests, became convinced that automobiles could be used to advantage in the transportation I of bullion in Mexico. Among other nd vantages counted on by Mr. Hart were the facts that only one tenth of the I force of men would be needed carrying the gold and the time consumed would be at least but one Sftli of that now necessary. The savin; in cost would be so appreciable. He took the up ith Mr.

Hen shaw at Boston, and ns a result, the preliminary plans were crawn up. The Chassis and larger portion of the body are to he of the regular stock mode! touring enr but there the resemblance ends. Armor parts will be used to pro. tect the working parts, front seats and tonnean. to protect the machinery and passengers from attack, lioth on level imumi and while running through defiles where an attack from above might occur.

A place will be provided in the tou neau for carrying gold and either one or two rnpiil tiring guns will be mounted in the front and rear of the body. The rapid tire gun feature, it is expected, will be a great advantage sine. now owing to the topography of the conntry it is almost impossible for them to be transported nnliniWred and ready for work at a second a notice.
