LONDON. May 26.-A message to

She was in water ballast. The torpe-

leaving Liverpool recently have had
their names and nationality painted

LONDON, May 26.--The American
steamer Nebraskan, Captain Green,
Liverpool. May 24, for Delaware
breakwater, was torpedoed yesterday
by a submarine at a point 40 miles
west southwest of Fastnet, off the
south coast of Ireland. The sea was
calm at the time. The crew took to
the boats and stood by the vessel. A
message to Lloyds from Kinsale, Ire-
land, says the Nehraskan passed the
point at 11 o’clock, apparently bound
for Queenstown. The Nebraskan was
down at the bow and proceeding under
her own steam flying a signal "I am

EXCELLENT LEIIIIIIIE
HI NEII. N. II. INILIIII
Last evening in Zion Church the
pastor, Rev. G. C. Taylor, gave an
interesting and instructive lecture on
thc life and work of Rev. Dr James
Robertson, Superintendent of Presby-
terian Missions in the North West.
The lecturer began by stating that
when Earl Grey was crossing the At-
lantic on his way to Canada ho read
the llfc of Dr Robertson, and one rg,
the first things that he did after his
arrival in the West was to go to Kil-
donan churchyard and lay a wreath
upon the grave of this great man,
whom he regarded as the greatcstof
those who toiled in building Canada’s
great North West. Mr Taylor himself
was one of a group of young men who
volunteered for six months’ mission-
ary work in tho North West in the
days when men were very scarce and
travelling difficult; but under the
Dcctor’s persuasion six months leng-
thened into five years. _
Dr Robertson was born in the vil-
lage of Dull, Scotland, the son of a
sheep farmer. He had only the advan-
tages of a village school, but the prob-
lem in arithmetic that had puzzled
students and professors of St And-
rew's University was solved by young
Robertson. His first charge in Canada
was at Norwich. a scattered field
where a great number of difficulties
were encountered in travel-one of
roads and spring freshets. On one
occasion he found it impossible to get
through with his horse to a special
meeting at which he was expected to
speak, but he put up the horse in a
farmhouse and walked the distance,
carrying his boots. He arrived there
to find himself the only minister pres-
ent, but stated that he had found little
difficulty in getting through, only that
his feet occasioanlly stuck to the ice!
During his pastorateat Norwich a fire
occurred in the hotel, and the alarm
was given during the progress of ser-
vice on Sabbath. The Doctor promptly
dismissed the congregation and head-
ed the work for the rescue, organising
the water-carrying. So successful was
the effort that the hotel was saved.
The proprietor handed him a large
bottle of brandy as compensation for
his work, and Dr Robertson dashed
the bottle to the ground, informing the
man at the same time that that fire
was much harder to put out. He was
called to Knox Church in Winnipeg,
and during his pastorate there was
called to be Superintendent of the
missions to the North West, his field
extending from Fort William in the
East to Victoria. Vancouver in the
West, and from Victoria to Scagway,
Dawson. Travelling was very difficult
in those days. but nothing could daunt
the heroic Superintendent. who had
the faculty of making friends wher-
ever he went. Many incidents are
related of his tact and perseverance
under great stress. One of the chief
obstacles to the work in those early
days was lack of men. The difficulties
of the new country, scarcity of money
and general hardships all intimidated
men who had considered the miinstry
a comparatively easy profession. Time
and again after appointments had
been made the Doctor found men re-
considering them and refusing, so that
it was the most difficult thing to keep
the various fields supplied. I-le tra-
velled in Scotland and secured many
men there, but even with that rein-
forcement it was impossible to keep
pace was the fast increase in immi-
gration. Dr Ralph Connor, of Winni-
peg, has written a most interesting
" Life " of the great Superintendent,
giving the lights and shadows of that
period when the North West was
changing from e wilderness into the
fruitful wheat field, ister to become
the grsnary of the British Empire.
The didloultiee of the Church system
also had to be ,contended with. and
sometimes the Church fathers found
it hard to keep the Doctor within the
strict bounds of Presbyterian usage.
He became known as the Bishop of,
the Presbyterian Church in the North

LONDON. May Z0.-The general
concensus of opinion with regard to
the new cabinet is that though cer-
tain appointments are surprking, As-
quith has come within a fair range of
constituting a national ministry which
takes in at least nearly all the talents.
While the Times and the Post speak
as if the Liberal Government has fall-
en, the remaining Conservative jour-
nals refraln from any taunts. In fs.ct~
the dominant note is that the new re-
gime must at once relegate to oblivion
all party feeling.

mands tlie road leading to Gorisia, an
important Austrian frontier station.
Pasisng from North Centre, Eastern

Italians also had occupied the village
of Versa which is near a rivcr of the

It indicates that the Italian fleet has
done very rapid work in thus sweep-

GENEVA, May 26.-Italian troops

SIGNED NEW TREATIES.
PEKING. May 25.-The treaties be-

thirteen notes, were signed this after-
noon at three o'clock in the Chinese
Foreign Office. This act brought to
o. conclusion the negotiations which
have been going on since last January
when Japan. shortly after the fall of
the German position of Kiao-Chow,
presented her well-known demands to
China.
Tucheng Hlslang, Chinese Foreign
Minister, signed for his Government,
while Ekl I-lioki, the Japanese Minis-
ter to China. signed for Tokio. Thus
"When these agreements come into the discussion of Japan's demands are

articles reserved for future argument

first treaty signed to-day deals with
Shantung, and the second with South
Manchuria, and Eastern inner Mongo-

terms of the ultimatum sent by Japan
to China and the treaties, as signed
to-day, is the substitution of one for

excited witnesses of the shooting, n
number of St Mury’s young men began
the trouble on Sunday by attacking
several of the Italian colony who were
out for a walk. Doucet. the injured
mall, was not in the first of the trou-
hle, but happened to como along just

gan to fly.
Two Italians, who, it is alleged, did
the shooting have been arrested and
lodged in jail and there are likely to
be several other arrests.
Special constahlcs were on duty

high through the night, but no further
trouble occurred.
