OTTAWA. Dec. 15-'During the sen.

sou of 1910 the government land sur- veys were made of Port Churchill and Fort Nelson, between which the choice lies as a terminus for the Hudson - Bay railway. The report ol these _surveys which were carried out by ol- iicers of the hydrographic branch, are printed in the first annual blue book of the naval service department.

A perusal of the hydrographers‘ re- port is certainly not calculated to im- press the reader with unbounded con- fidence either in the safety of Hudson Bay for navigation by vessels of ordi- nary construction, still less do 'thc observations of the surveyors appepy to lustliy the prediction for Fort Nei- son as 5 terminal harbor, which wns nttrlbuted to the late government, and especially to the then minister of railways and canals. The government ice-breaking steam-

er Stanley conveyed the survey par- ties to the west coast of I-Iudson's Day for the season’s work. Ou board was Captain S.W. Bartlett, one ofthe best known pilots for Hudson Bay and Arctic waters. On July 18th Port Burwell, just inside thc strait, was found to be still frozen over. Next day the Stanley, on leaving Burweii, encountered an ice field 60 miles across. After some hours’ sailing in clear water, heavy ice was again mct with on the night of July 20th.

"This pack," continues the report,

“appeared to be continuous from the northward to within B couple of miles of the southern shore of Hudson strait, a narrow passage along the shore being apparently kept fairly clear by tidal streams.

“After n short spell of clear water

of! Cope Digges, about forty miles of heavy ice drove the vessel towards Nottingham Island.

"Towards evening on July 22, the

ship struck the outer edge of thc largest ice field met 'with on the whole voyage. This, for a distance oi about 200 miles, was continuous. This ice was not very -heavy for a vessel specially constructed, but call- ed for considerable sill on the part of captain Bartlett, the ice pilot, in finding leads. There being no indica- tions of clear water on either side. it was resolved to make as direct a course as possible. The ship was sel- dom stopped/ but was htavily shaken by the continuous pounding necessary to force her way through.

“This field was suddenly cleared on

the morning of July 24th and Church- ill was reached the same night with- out further delay-"

Then, on her return voyage, having

len, the survey _parties at Port Chur- chill and Fort Nelson the Stanley de- parted for the homewnrd trip Ou July' 30th and the narrative saYBf _

"Within 5 few hours of leaving Nel-

son the heaviest ice yet met was en- countered ~_snd for about 90 miles very slow headway was made."

Agaln,.on leaving Port Burwell, on

August 9th (for the passage through the straits): “Within an hour the ship for the first time encountered ice that stopped her." ll This ship was the Stanley, special- ly built to buck the heavv iw mms encountered in the winter service on Northumberland Straits hctwveu Prince Edward Island and the main- land. 'vilaptain Dalton, who com. mended the Stanley on this Hudson Bay triP. thus significantly summar- izes his experience: "Any vrssel novi- xnting ‘the bay must he prcrnrl-rl to meet ice. Whilst ncnc of flint incl. with dn this voyage could have been dangerous to the Stanley or scnlcrs and other specially constructed ves- sels now trading in the district.

PARIS, Dec. 15-Lord Kitchener.

Egypt.

An interesting letter from Alexan-

dria to the Daily Mail states that since his appointment his popularity hos increased in such a manner as t0 NIUE Hbollil a remarkable chsnyc in the country. The nationalisig m_0V9m¢"t_. it Hlllleafsl hue almost died out in the country and apparent. ly it is Lord Kitchener's direetnesn of purpose and great fund of common S9058 UNITS have wrought the-change. The Daily Mail relates several inci- d€|1I5B_ that bring out thesc qualities strikingly. Some Bedouin sheiks wish- ed to take part in the war against the Italians in Tripoli. They went to see Lord Kitchener, who has revived the partriarcbal and sensible custom' of receiving any of those under his administration who desire his advice or help. _

Lord Kitchener listened to the sheiks, told them they could go to, ,War and wished them good luck, Then he paused and said slowly :-

"Now, you Bedouins are exempt

from military service by favor of the Khedive, but of course- ,if `you go to Tripoli and beat the Italians the ex- emption will be cancelled at once,, for it would never do to loose the ser~ vice of such goodsoldiers."

The Bedouin chiefs were content

und did not go.

Some Egyptians oflicers .also asked

permission to go to war and take a regiment of Egyptian soldiers with them.

“Yes, certainly," said Lord Kitch-

ener. "You may go at once. There is only one thing, though. The standing army of Egypt is small at this time, and I must have trained troops. If yqu take n regiment with you l must sent to England for an English regiment to replace them."

Needless to say, the matter was

dropped and the men did not go.

#Wit 0l’l)0Siug the famous lnrLrria_l:e annulment which seperated Eugene Hebert from his wife, Emma Marie Clouatre, iinder the Ne'Temere De. cree, will enter 3, final stage today, when Mrs. L. Hebert's attorney, Ar- nold Wainwright, will continue the argument. Mr. Wainwright will take up the thread of historical ar.. gument at the session and will pro- ceed thence to the year 1866 when

the present code was brought into erlect. l-iis contention will be the

same as in his previous a¢l(lresses_ namely, that in the interval between 1764 and 1866,_ there was nothing in law then existing to obligate Cat- holic to go before their parish priests or bishops in order to be married, and that consequently ministers of n faith other than the Catholic were not restrained from officiating at such marriages.

If it is legal, the marriage stands

us valid; if it is illegal, the minister and not third parties should be pun- ished. This will be the core of Mr. Wainwrighlfs argument.
