DOMINION PARLIAMENT NOTES or PROCEEDINGS IN THE HOUSE or COMMONS, After months of discussion both here and in the country, the House of Commons on Wednesday passed the Alberta and Saskatchewan 1111- tonomy bills.

The formal surrender of the mutinous crew occurred Saturday afternoon, after a series of discussions and ne- gotiations between the Roumanian authorities and the leaders of the mutineers. The Roumanian officers who boardâ€" ed the battleship on its arrival here a few days ago called upon the crew to surrender, in which case they would be treated as foreign deserters, or else leave the port forthwith. It speedily became apparent that the Russian vessel returned to this port with the intention of giving itself up to a foreign Government, and the crew soon announced its acceptance of the Roumanian terms.

She has avoided formally asking for an armistice as a. matter; of pride, but under the circumstances Russia could hardly go further than she has. 0 JAPAN DECLINES ARMISTICE D Basis of Peace Proposals Mus First Be Accepted. It is as that an nest hope is expressed that Japan will change her decision not to conâ€" sent, both for the sake of avoiding further bloodshed in Manchuria. and perhaps in order to prevent a catas- trophe in Russia, which may shake the Rcmanon‘s’ throne and appal the world by its horrors. 'An eminent Ambassador of a great European power said to the Associated Press: cataclysm of anarchy greater than that of the French ReVOIution, which will leave Russia no Government. to negotiate with, besides threatening the peace of Europe The usqu pre- cedents for the conclusion of a war are reversed in this case\ An armis- tice generally precedes an agreement on the time and place for a. meeting of negotiators. Now that the steps which usually follow a. sllspension cf hostilities have been arranged, why should Japan, simply because she enjoys the advantage of the military situation, infliCt another defeat, with its acCompanying slaughter? Nothing would be gained by it, and much might be lost." Ambassador of a great European power said to the Associated Press: “If Japan declines it may prove to be a misfortune for the whole World. The position of Russia is critical. The Emperor, crushed by the defeats in the Far East, and with almost civil war at home, has bowed his head to the inevitable. He wants peace, and Japan has the proofs in her possession. Japan has vindicat- ed her power before the world, and has won the admiration of the world. Nothing becomes a victor so much as a broad spirit of magnanimity. if Japan still insists in humbling the Emperor's hoqd into the dust and forcing a. useless battle which will result in the loss of tens of thou- sanhs of lives, she may produce a 11VOS Effects Landing Penal 'A St. Petersburg despatch says:- A landing of Japanese troops on the Island of Saghalien was oflicially re- ported on Saturday night and startled military circles in St. Pet- crsburg, though it had been realized since the defeat of Admiral Rojest- vensky that the Japanese were able to take possession of the island as soon as they thought fit. The strength of the landing force canth be ascertained, but the garrison of the island is too weak to oll'er an of- fcctive (lclcnco. A Bonds Will be Floated in London, Berlin and New York. A despatch from New York says:â€" Scmiâ€"final details concerning the latest Japanese loan of $150,000,- 000 were made public on Wednesday. The bonds will bear interest, at Ll} per cent., and are secured by a. sec- ond lien upon the tobacco monopoly. The loan will be divided into three equal parts, London, ~Berlin and New York each taking $50,000,0000. The subscription price probably will she the same as the previous loan, [which was 87 5-8. An interesting [feature is Germany's direct partici- lpation in the loan. The Japanese Government, practically pledges itsr-lf not to draw upon the subscriptions greCUchd here before October 31. Though the Japanese seem unwill- ing to risk a grand battle with Gen. Linevitch, pending the poaw meeting at Washington, the landing of troops on Sakhalin is considered to express Japan's (lccision regarding the f()l'- inal conclusion of a general armisâ€" tice, namely, that in the interval beâ€" fore the meeting it is necessary to occupy the island, whose possession is an imporiant card in Japan's diâ€" plomatic contest at Washington.
