It means that owners of vessels have g own tired of having their property managed by unions, and aro resolved upon a change. For the past three or four years, says Engi neering, there has been a gradual enorosch- ment of union power until, a year ago, the owner was practically left without a personal representative aboardship. His property was absolutely managed while on the high sens by men who owed allegianco only to their own union, and the tuation was further aggravated, from the owner's standpoint, by the fact that the various unions aboardship were frequently quarrel- ling among themselves. The Seamen's Union controlled the wheelmen, watchmen, look-outs, and deck-hands, and was parti cularly jealous of it prerogatives. If a fireman was taken suddenly ill, no deck. hand could be asked to shovel coal. Firemen's Union controlled the firenon,- oilers, and water-tonders, and would porinis its members to do no more than was set down in the card. The engineers found the firemen a bad lot to deal with, owing to the protection thrown about them by the Fire- men's Union. Trivial excuses were seized

TIMELY SUGGESTION. This is

A the season of the year when the pru

dent and careful housewife replenishes her supply of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It is certain to be needed before the winter. is over, and results are much more prompt and satisfactory when it is kept at hand and given as soon as the cold is contracted and before it has become settled in the system. In almost every instance a sovere cold may be warded off by taking this remedy freely as soon as the first indication of the cold appears. There is no danger in giving it to children for it contains no harm- ful substance. It is pleasant to take--both adults and children like it. Buy it and you will get the best. It always cures.

LONDON, Mar. 4. With the winter about over, attention is again centred on Mace- donia, where conditions are serious, and ing the last three days numerous clashes Thave been reported between Greek binde officered by former members of the Greek army and Ottoman troops, In fact, BO serious is the outlook that Austria-Hungary and Russia have addressed

Government at Athens, in which they stato unless repressivo measures are undertaken and the protection given to the brigands operating in Macedonia is withdrawn, stern measures will be adopted to compel Greece to yield this point. The task of pacifying Macedonia, says the Note, is exclusively Austria's hence the Hellenic Government lind better keep its hands off The Greek bands in Macedonin show that they are making common cause on both soldiery and peasantry. In several cases villages were surrounded and the inhabit- ants compelled to pay tribute to the

Cause of Freedom.'

This has resulted in increasing the fear of the inhabitants that when spring comes they will find themselves at the mercy of both the bandits and the Turkish troops.

TSINGMING.

AT this season of the year, we, per- forec, become familiar with the word Tsingming, the exact connotation of which, perhaps, some of our readers have not exerted themselves to ascertain. They know that the word describes a Chinese festival, which occurs in the spring, and that it is connected with the worship at, or of, the graves. The most manifest sign of the approach of the day to the average resident, is the disappearance of one or more-of the domestics; or the non-appearance.

The bare mention of the word 'Athletic' in itself is sufficient to rouse the interest of the average Britisher. Small wonder, therefore, that the recreation ground at' Happy Valley was orowded with spectators this afternoon when the annual Athletic Sports under the auspices of the Victoria Recreation Club were successfully put in motion. Fortunately the weather this year was just the reverse to that experienced in 1904 (when the rain descended in torrents) for the day, though somewhat dull, was cool and pleasant. The recreation ground was decked with flags, the grand. stand being especially attractive looking, And the wants of the spectators and com petitors were well looked af er by a energetic committer.
