Imperial Politics.

Lord Rossebery and the Liberal Party

Party London, October 13. Lord Eosebery in unveiling at Glasgow a statue of the late Mr W. E. Gladstone (by Thornycroffc), eulogised Mr Gladstone's lofty ambition, courage, industry and faith. Mr Black, one of the members of the House of Commons for Banffshire, invited Lord Eosebevy to give an assurance that his differences with Sir H. Campbell-Ban ' nerman would not prevent their future co-operation. Lord llosebery replied that the policy enunciated in hi 3 ChesterfieM speech, which. , Sir H. Campbell-Baunermau banned and condemned, embodied the only practically sensible Liberal policy. If the Liberals adopted it, he was willing to withdraw and ietve others to execute it; but while the true policy was excommunicated, he must remain. Mr Black tried to elicit answers, and put hypothetical questions regarding Lord . Rosebery's attitude in the event of a General Election, but Lord Eosebery de clined to embark on an illusory discussion

The Coal Strikes.

United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright Ottawa, Oct 12 There is an increased mortality among children in Montreal, owing to the scarcity of fuel. The Municipality is supplying wood to the town. A Senator named For get has given one hundred thousand dol lars (.£20,000.) to ..the Fuel Fund. The Go vernment is transporting free of charge Nova Scotian coal to Montreal. The Mayor of Toronto has cabled to Cardiff appealing to British coal-owtiers to give preference to Canada. Washington, Ocfc 13. Mr Richard Oluey, who held the port folio of Attorney-General, under President Cleveland's Ministry, and is a probable De mocratic nominee for the Presidency, depre cates political intervention in the miners' strike, remarking "Will it strengthen Pre sident Eoosevelt's hand abroad if the Powers see half-a-dozen private citizens snapping their fingers in h'» face ?" The Anthracite coai is almost exhausted in twenty large cities. The coal companies are selling coal in New York to the poor at a farthing a pound. Many householders are burning bricks soaked in oil. Mr Eoot, Secretary for War, had a five hours' conference with Mr Morgan. It is believed President Eoosevelt is pressing Mr Morgan to arbitrate in the strike. Welsh coal is virtually admitted into the United States free.

United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph —Copyright. Ddnedin, October 13

All anxiety with respect to the s.s. Waikato came to ;iu cud 10-day, when sh6 arrived at the Otago Heads, and was brought in-to port at mid-day.

A EiiocßFsion of gales were aieb with, and mi September 2>rditwas realised that there (was not enougk coal to tako the sieinfer to Hobarb. , The engines ;vei-o cropped, and a fair wind waited for in the hopn of making progress by drifting and sailing. On October 4th, the baro meter being very low, steam was got up, aud with the benefit o( a severe west south-west gale. Hobartwas reach«d ontho 6th. Tho Waikato coaled there, and left again on the Bth. .

Trade with Japan.

United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph. Wellington, Oct. 13 Mi Gow, New Zealand trade representa tive, writing from ' Kobe, says that the possibility of trade between Japan and this colony is very remote. The Japanese as a rule do not eat mutton, butter or cheese as they cannot afford such luxuries. Mr Gow says he is convinced after careful and exhaustive enquiries in all the leading cities of Japan, that there is no market there for our leading lines of produce, and that it would be a waste of time and money for our exporters to try that market. The only articles that might find markets in Japan are limited quantities, when prices are low, of wool, hops, leather and flour.

The Value of Physical Training.

In the course of his evidence before the Eoyal Commission on Physicial Training in Scotlund, Mr Jame3 Malloch, headmaster of Blackness School, Dundee, gave some in teresting evidence on the value of physical training for children, iv the course of which he said: —1. first; wish to take hold of the child as an active being, and to get at his mental development through his physical activity, and by means of physical exercises in eavly life I think I can teach him the principle of subordination.' By means of commands deliberately given I tlvnk the child also learns the i esources of his own body. He is also conscious of the power that he has over his body; he feels also iv these exercises that he is one of a corporate body, and is working along with others ; and by these means I think he is learning to become a good citizen, because citizenship to my mind, is a question of the co-ordina tion of tha uuits, and I think if we teach the child first the great principle of subor dination, then he willg.>tto some feeling of self-control, :md his obedience will not be as the pure mechanical, selfish obedience that sometimes we have in pure militarism, but it will be the true obedience where lie has the control of his will over his actions. -I may not be plain, but I feel very strongly in this matter that in the ordinary affairs of life we should try, as far as pos sible, to make the child automatically vir tuous In the ordinary affairs of life we can reach the best through physical training. As long ns he is automatically virtuous in the ordiuary affairs of life he has more mental energy tv> devote to the greater ones, therefore psychologically I think physical training is the best avenue of approach that we can have to mental development in the child. Wo cannot ap proach the child's mind except through (he body, and wo cannob teach semi-mecha nical virtues to this child unless through the physical ex'ereises that we devise for him. -

Ross Antidote Company, Dear Sirs, —I feel it my duty to give you this enclosed testimonial in favour of Ross' Antidote for purifying the blood. I have been a great sufferer for many years from ulcerated stomach, indigestion, etc. My life was a perfect misery, and I was almost a wreck. I grew tired of trying different medical men and remedies, of which I had tried almost every known one but yours and one day some eighteen months ago a gentleman came into the shop where I was employed. He remarked " Jack, you look very ill," and you may depend I was. He added, Will you take some medicine if I procure it; I replied, I will take anything. He brought me a bottle of your Antidote, and I took it accordingly as directed, and to my delight I began fco get well, and ! after taking three large bottles I was a new man, thanks to your great discovery. I always keep it by me, and find a few doses occasionally keep me in perfect health, and I wish you the success with it that such a medicine merits. You can make what use you like of this. —I remain, yours, etc. J. H. Pauling, Masterton. May be obtained from Messrs Fletcher Bros., and Shearman Bros., Ashburton.
