EXCITEMENT IN ROSSUND Important Strikes on Consolidated Properties Suptrl_tMd.it Stewart Will Not C«Jim ^Reports u_ Denies ttlit Sink Roaor of Rich Strike «b War Etftle. {Special to The Dally Newt) Rossland, June 27— Quiet' excitement Is prevul.-ng over the ciimip at the perslB- tent rumors of recent finds of good o e over aU propetlei belonging to the C'lti- atllan Consolidated. Pocket samples of -ore a*re being shown from hand to Iwrul ftnd If stories ate flnal.'y justift-d, lloss- land la on tbe verge of the biggettt boom yet enjoyed. Strkes have been made on the 7th r-nd Uth levels of the Centre Star, native g->ld sticking out. On the War Engl* and Hed Mountain similar1 finds have been made and ore 30 feet wide has bien mca'.ed on hte Idaho and Is now facing drifted for from the 4th level of the Clitre Star under a surface outcrop.' The tunnel In the face of Cen.re Star gulch on the Idaho is muk- nlg a good showing on the same bedy. The strikes culminated In a big strike mado on Tuesday lust on the War Eagle, ore running between $900 and 11000. It '*. confidently Btated ln camp that the War Eagle alone hns o„ of tbt, clusa fir several years. On the other hand superintendent Stewart of the Consolidated, denies positively the statement of a recent strike In tbe War Bugle, He declares that ore has been found In tlie Centre Ctar rich In go.d, going *&. to the ton, but waa pockety and rapidly exhaust d. He declares the Idaho development not sufficiently advanced after six months' wo k, and many tons shipped, to epeak positively as to the pros* poets of1 the mine. He _ay„ that last Saturday mucii of the ore struck on the flo r of tho War EVigle at the 1-J0 foot level, running $30 per ton, rapidly panned out to ordinary values or lass. He regrets thut the lower levels of tbe War Eagle are still pockety. Asked am to the exact looition of the Btrlke which wus d-nltd to ex.*., Mr. Stewart refused to say In what part of the War Ragle It existed. Stewart's denial Is not gcnemlly wedded here. Since the promised Increase In the miners' wages has been announced, to come Into force on July 1, many miners have drifted back he.e from other camps, but at least 200 more men are required at once and still more will be requl ed. a lit le later ARBITRATION THE ISSUE ALL DELEGATES TO PEACE CONKER- ENCE WORKING TO ONE END TO RENDER HAGUE ARBITRATION TRIBUNAL PERMANENT The Hague, June 27—All the delegates to tlie Hague conference agree that the fl:st Important sitting was that dea ing w th arbitration. Many of the powers, chiefly the United S.ates, des'i* ti strengthen arbitration to such a point as to make It become an Institution which will gradually lead to the abolition of war among nation- Just as confidence In the justice of ordinary courts ted to the abolition of duelling. . The pilnclt-nl efforts In this direc.lon are concentrated In an effort to re der the Hague arbitration tribunal really permanent, giving it such -power, prestige and Influence and .ibove all, unspeakable Impartiality aa to command universal confidence. Effo ts are also being made to simplify the procedure and 'essen the ex-- pense, thus miking it mo e accessible. Prof Demartens has . mude proposl.lons on the subject of good offices, mediation and on International comlssl n.i of enquiry, Including the draft ng of rue* and regulations for procedure In onset of ar- bltra.lon, as deduced from the experience of the past eight years. They are in reality a modification of the convention of 1899 with lhe object of broadening arblt.a- tlon and trying to make it c mpulaory in as many cases as possible. They would also further reduce the exceptions comprised under the terms "national honor" and "vital Interests." s Several countries, Jnc'ud'ng Germany, Great Brlta'n, the United States and I.aly. bave other propositions on the subject of Hr-.lra.il n ready to be presented separate ly or as amendments, all aiming to make arbitration the ordinary course to be followed by disputants. In fact these proposl.lons try to generate a feeling that It would be dishonorable to have recourse to force before appealing to the law. Tha greatest difficulty Is the system t be followed In the election of tike Judges, tor upon their Integrity and high honor win depend the success of the permanent arbitration court. The propo-iikn that each power select two praona of It., nationally, recognized aa eminent1 jurists, la considered Impracticable, as It would t ansform the court Into a parliament of nearly 100 members. General Horace Porter of the United States, has several proposl.lon on the subject," but they -have not yet been an* nounced or definitely drafted. Besides the proposlt'bn regarding arbitration, Italy will present a proposition against that of Great Britain on the laying of automatic floating and submarine mines to defend her BOOO ml es coast. She will also present an amendment to the French proposition of the op.nlng of hostilities and will nt agree to any delay between a declaration of war and the opening of hostilities. At the meeting of the sub-committee on the bombardment of harbors, etc., general Horace Porter's prop _:t!.ii ln regard to the bombudment of unfortif.ed towns waa chief;,-, dealt with. Js.ph H. Choate, general Ptrter, David HM and James Scott were present. Dr. H-gerup, p.eside it of the sub-commit lee.

OF M, First President Tells of lis Birth in Jail and That Prosecuting Attorney Hawley Was first Legal Adviser-Bill Easterly Flatly Contradicts Orchard's Statements Implicating Him in Vindicator Fxplosion and Other Crimes. (Special to The Dally News) Boise, Idaho, June 27.-T*_tay'B proceedings In the Haywood case did not devlop anything of a sensational character. The evidence taken was rather unimportant. The feature of the day was the examination of Edward Boyce, former president of the Western Federation of Miners. Through him the defense sought to establish the character of the Federation and also to show that it had been opposed vigorously by the mine owners of various sections. Through this line of testimony ran the theory ot the mine owners' conspiracy, extending through many states, out of which the outrages in Colorado and Idaho grew. Mr. Boyce told of having been annoyed by detectives working for the mine owners. These sometimes ransacked his grip and often broke his desk open. At one time he was not permitted to get food at the camps which he had visited for the purpose of organizing unions. While Mr. Boyce was testifying, the question of the scope of enquiry wai raised. He was asked to tell about other states than Colorado and Idaho, the state objected on the ground tbat such matters were not involved in this caBe. After a sharp argument tbe court ruled that enquiry should be limited to those localities that were the scene of events already entering into the case. W. F. Davis was still on the stand when court opened, under .cross examination. He was questioned closely about conditions in Cripple Creek, particularly about his statement that everything was quiet there before the troops were called In. The witness said he knew Orchard like any of the other members of the union. He had met him a good many UmeirHe said he had never been at Orchard's house, but he knew Ills wire. He could not remember where he first met Steve Adams. On November 21, 1903, the witness said he lived about one half mile from the vindicator mine and about one quarter mile from the Orchard home. On June 6, 1904, the witness said he was ln Denver; said he lost his family and had no placo of residence. He )iad stopped with his sls- ter-in-law not far from hts old home. On the night of the explosion ln the Vindicator mine, the time Beck and McCormlck were killed he was at home. "All the evening?" "Well, no, I was at a union meeting." "Who with?" SEATTLE TRAIN DITCHED C. P. R. FLYER OFF THE. TRACK AT SUMAS. ORBBN VERSUS WORLD LIRBL SUIT OPENED AT VANCOUVER. (Special to The Dally News) Vancouver, June 27.—All shipments pf cattle by P. Burns _ CO. to the Yukon are held up by the demand of the American customs officers, that the U. 8. Inspection be made before landing at Skagway. Since there are no Inspectors either here or at Skagway .appeal has been made to Washington for acceptance of the Calgary Inspection certificates. In the meantime the steamer Halvard Is held up here waiting the . cislon. The C. P. R. train for Seattle was ditched this morning near Sumas, owing to a misplaced switch. The engine passed over safely but the succeeding cars ran into a ditch. The mail car turned completely over, the clerk, Drummond ,and baggage master Baker, being slightly Injured. O. J. Bury, assistant general manager of western lines, C. P. R., left on a special car attached to a freight tonight on an inspection tour of Kootenay branches. The libel suit of R. F. Oreen, ex-chlef commissioner of lands and works against the World ,as a result of the publication of the alleged Caron deal during the provincial campaign, came up this morning on application for a demand to answer to a series of questions, Mr. JUBtlce Morrison ruled tn order queries as to the ownership of that Journal, circulation, etc., but ruled out a question as to the Individuality of the writer ot the article and heading. The latter point will be argued.

"Sherman Parker and others." "Was Orchard there?" "I don't remember," The witness denied he had gone to Orchard's home that night. He said he walked home with Sherman Parker. They had mlsaed the car. He denied that to his recollection he had seen Orchard at all that night. "How long, prior to the explosion, bad you seen Orchard?'' "I don't remember," "Did you see Easterly the night of the explosion " 'tf may have, I don't remember." The witness said he did not know where Steve Adams lived at tbat time. Davis said he remembered an assault that had been made upon an old man by the name of Stewart, a carpenter. He said he had heard of lt, "Did you hear about J. T. Hawkins being beaten up?" "That was before the trows came In." "Yes, he was a Justice of the peace." "He was a non-union man, wasn't he?" Here an objection was made by Mr. Darrow to the line ot cross examination. Darrow said: "Your honor, this witness has made the claim that all was quiet and peaceful before the soldiers were brought In." The witness had heard of a nan-union man by the name of Karris suffering some indignation before the soldiers came in. The witness said he knew "Stan" Campbell. "Did you know of his having killed a woman a few days before the troops came In?" Davis said he knew of the incident, but he thought It was after the troops came in. The witness disclaimed any knowledge of trouble with non-union men at the Golden Cycle mine prior to the coming of the troops. During this line of cross examination senator Borah and attorney Darrow sparred almost continuously. Senator Borah sought to show that wheras the witness had said the Cripple Creek district was as quiet as Boise before the troops came, there was a reign of lawlessness. Davis Insisted the district was quiet and declared he was willing to stand on tbat statement. He admitted, however, that he knew of some non-union men being beaten. At the convention in Denver, Davis said he stopped at the Belmont rooming house. Sherman Parker had a room with him. Davis could not remember whether the Belmont was over Pettlbone's store or just near there. He could not say whether he saw Orchard at the Belmont or not. He remembered of seeing Orchard at the convention hall. He saw Pettibone In the convention hall. Davi. could not say how long the peace committee had been back from the district before the explosion. He thought th- committee had reported before the ex plosion. He could not remember whether or not the report was In writing or verbal. Davis could not remember how long he remained In Denver after the explosion. He thought It was several days. W. W. Rush, locomotive engineer, who ran a nenglne on the Florence & Cripple Creek road was the next witness. He testified about the attempted train wreck From D. C. Scott, he said, he received word of the second attempt. Scott said that there was a probability that there would be another attempt to wreck a train between the Economic mill and Victor, probably a mile (rom the Victor depot. He asked the witness if he knew of a place along the track where It would be a good place to wreck the train and Rush tbld him. Witness said: "Scott said they would attempt to throw the train Into the ditch near the overhead crossing. I said I didn't think they could throw me there because I could see the place too far. Scott then asked me If I knew of another good place along there to wreck a train. 1 Bald It might be done at the second left hand curve east of the overhead crossing. Scott repeated the location after me. On the 11:55 trip to Bull Hill that night Scott got on the train and told me to stop near the second left hand curve. I did so and two men dropped ott tbe rear of the train. One was tall and the other was short." "Is Scott a tall man, and K. C. Sterling of the mine owners' association a short man?" Interrupted Darrow? "Yob, sir. It was early on the morning of the 15th of November when the train reached Victor on the next trip, Scott and Sterling were there. 1 saw Sterling at the depot He came up to the cab and said: 'They have done It.' I asked what, and Scott aald: 'They have moved a rail at the Identical point you thought they would,' Scott and Sterling said they saw the men at work." "When we struck the curve 1 got off and walked (head to where nine or ten spikes had heen taken from a rail, It was still In place, however." / On cross examination file *ll«ess .aid the point where the Bplkes were pulled was unquestionably the moat dangerous on the road. Edward Boyce, taking the stand, gave a sketch of his life. Saying he was born In Ireland In 1802. and came to the United States In 1882. He worked as a railroad grader .getting into the mines sometime later. He was arrested In 1892 in connection with tlie Coeur d'Alene trouble of that year. Continuing he said: "I belonged to the Wardner miners' union. There waB no Federation at that time. I was corresponding secretary of Wardner at one time but not at the time I was in jail. I was arrested by reason of an Injunction Issued by Judge Beatty forbidding union men to trespass on owners' property. I with 12 others, came here to jail for contempt of court. I Berved my lime. The others were released by order of the United Slates supreme court. "Who was your attorney?" "JameB H. Hawley." "He got the olhera out of jail?" "Mr. Hawley did excellent work for us as attorney." Boyce told ot himself and friends while in jail discussing a plan to organize a federation of miners' unions. "I could not say who first spoke ot the plan. I remember Mr. Huwley talked with us about a unification of miners' unions. He told ub that was the only thing we could do If we wished to perpetuate our unions. He said the mine owners were already organized." Boyce said he was not ut Butte w_en the federation wus organized, 'lhe Western Federation of Miners, the witness said, always looked out for suffering members, their widows and children. The Butte untpn alone, up to five years ago, paid out a million and a quarter dollars In sick benefits and charity. Uo member of the union had gone to the poor house since the Federation was formed. Boyce said that prior to the organization of the Western Federation uf Miners, miners and smeltermen were re quired to work 10 and 12 hours a day. He described graphically the hardships of .the smeltermen, saying he had Buffered himself from many Ills and phyi- ical disabilities growing out of such work. The wages avernged about $2.50 per day. The Federation has frequently employed lawyers he said to fight for Jlght hour law and all such laws that applied tu mining have been passed In Ibe west Blnce the organization of the I-deration. The organization has also 0 BIND BROKEN H. ARTS BIRRELL INTRODUCES EVICTED TENANTS BILL. ELOQUENT PLEA FOR SUFFERING IRISH PEASANTRY. London, June 27.—Mr. Blrrell, chief secretary for Ireland, In introducing the evicted tenants bill in the house of commons today, said: "Rain is falling pitilessly in the west of Ireland, the turf is rotting and sea weed, used as manure, is wet as when taken from the sea. Such a measure as this will be taken by that population as a token of good feeling. It will do much to bind up many a well uigU broken heart and in some measure staunch bleeding wounds. "There are two thousand tenants to be reinstated and the government wants to make a clean job of lt and must acquire land compulsorily." KILLED BY LIGHTNING BOLT. New _ork, June 27.—A death dealing electric storm yesterday afternoon following the sweltering heat, soaked with humidity, swept over the city and surrounding country .Injuring several, causing many fires and doing considerable damage, In this city the only places struck were two churches. The steeples of both were torn into fragments by the lightning bolts. J. A. McKenna, of Newark, N. J., and his two young daughters, were caught In the storm, near Union, N. J. They took refuge under a tree .which a few minutes later was struck by a lightning bolt. The younger girl was killed outright and the father and older daughter Beverely shocked.

The killing of men, he said was so common in his own experience as to be almoin uu- noticeable. Mr. Boyce said that during the term of bis presidency the Federal increased In membership from 7uUU or .dtHi to about 30,000. He said It ha. a. -.ays bien the policy of the Federation to defend any members of the org-.n._A.iou who were arrested on any charge. Boyce said he was arrest-d In 1S96 in Leadville. He was president oi Ue Federation. Here followed the argument aud ruling on the point of cove_.ug localities other than those" already in. Regarding blacklisting of men, Boyce said: "I was denied employment In tho mines of the Cour d'Alenus because I wa. a u.iou man. In the town t f Starka- ville, Colorado. I went there to oi_an- Ize a union and I was denied food because I was presiding officer of tho Western Federation of Miners. I had to go four miles to Trinidad to got fool. The mine owners there were the men of the Colorado Fuel & Iron companj. All that time in-1890 I think they were members of the mine owners' association." "Boyce told of difficulties placed In his way, as he testified, by the mine owners while he was going from camp to camp in Colorado organizing unions in 1890 and 1897. He also told of many miners being blacklisted both in Idaho and tn Colorado, but was not allowed to tell what he knew about blacklisting In other states.

Mo hrid often been pusued by d.tectlves in the employ -of the m'ne owners. His grips had been opened anil gone through many times and three times his d.-l. had been ransacked.

Calgary, June 27.—-In an Interview thla afternoon, Dr. Sproule, M. P., sovereign grand master of the Orange l^odge of Canada, made an attack upon the French members of parliament, charging them with selling patronage charging for appointments and grafting iu the mout open way. Dr. Sproule, when asked about the election, said that sir Wilfrid Laurler had promised or half promised that there would be no election until alter another session. He did not place much faith lit tihat statement, however, for he had noticed lhat the premier did not always keep his promises, and tho matter of elections would be a matter of expediency. He did uot know thnt. It would bc expedient for an election to be held before the coming session, but he doubted It. The Interviewer asked If it wa„ a fact that French members opposed an eirly appeal to the country; Dr. Sproule _ad It was so. It was always so. French members liked the sessional Indemnity, "But." said he, "that is only a small part o." It. The sescional indemnity is i*nly a fraction of what comes to the French members.

The force ,if any, of his abuse of Mr. Fielding ls minimised by the fact that the finance minister was not guilty of the horrible charge preferred against him, of paying a visit to his holiness, the pope. Men not steeped In religions fanaticism will.'posBibly not be able to And any great fault in a man, who takes occasion of a visit to Rome to pay his respects to the pope, but in Dr. Sproule's eyes this ls an offense that deserves the severest censure. It appears that not withstanding Dr. Sproule's abuse of Mr. Fielding and of the pope, the former did not accompany sir Wilfrid Laurler on his visit to the Vatican and consequently did not merit Dr. Sproule's vulgar abuse. But to vilify the Roman Catholics of Canada and to sneer at the head of that church ls not sufficient for this tory lieutenant of Mr. Borden. He must vilify the whole French Canadian race. In an interview lie gave out at Calgary, on his way home from Vancouver, Dr. Sproule indulged in a bitter tirade of abuse of French Canadians, without the slightest cause or Justification. He made no explicit charges .simply resorting to tlie now favorite tory method of indulging In wholesale slandar of men whose politics they do not like.

Marked Feature of Labor Statistics ot ■ Past Month. Ottawa, June 27.—The reports to the labor department show that the number of labor disputes during May were 49, an Increase of 12 over the corresponding, month of 190G. The loss ln working days was approximately 88,130, as compared with 45,676 In May last year. The !n-t crease ls largely due to the strike of the coal miners of the west and the long: Bhoremen ln Montreal. There were about 411 Arms and 11,697 employees affected by the various disputes. There was a marked upward tendency ln wages "in nearly all lines ot Industry during the month. The number of new agreements with respect to wages reported to the department was considerably in excess of that reported during the corresponding period in any previous year since 1903. Nearly all new agreements were on the basis of higher wage schedules. In a majority ot cases this Increase was obtained as a result of amicable negotiations and without friction between the employer and employees. During May there were 287 people Injured in Industrial accidents, Ot these 91 were fatal and 196 resulted ln serious Injuries. Hallway accidents were responsible' tor. 20 fatalities and 30 Injured.

J It Is astonishing that a long career in parliament ua_ not taught Dr. Sproule the worse than folly of attempting to sttr up racial and religious strife. Men of his stamp are a curse to Canadian public life. EDITORIAL NOTES. The legal quibbllngs in connection with the Emmerson-Crockett trial may be unavailable, or absolutely necessary in the interests of justice, but the general public, which Is deeply interested In the speedy disposal of this suit will not regard In any very kindly spirit delays that must result In keeping this malodorous case alive Indefinitely. Everyone hoped and expected that Mr. Emmerson would push the case vigorously and that tue falsity of the charges of Immorality on his part would be quickly exposed. It will be entirely unsatisfactory if by some juggling with the taw the case never does get tried out. Whatever the outcome may be, the desirable end is that the case should be disposed of speedily. It is unfortunately only too true thai very little serious effort bas so far been made to secure permanent record of the early history of British Columbia. There bave been some pioneers in this field, but much yet remains to be done. Rev. father Morlce in his "History of the Northern Interior" did valuable work In this direction and we now have before us an entertaining and Instructive work by M. S. Wade, the editor of the Inland Sentinel, of Kamloops .dealing with the history of southern British Columbia and particularly of the city of Kamloops, formerly Fort Thompson. Dr. Wade contributes a valuable addition to the scant store of records of early British Columbia history and hi., work should meet with the warmest welcome from all those who seek to know something of the early history of this province. Dr. Wade's long rest: dence in the Interior and his close acquaintance with the old-timers peculiarly fitted him for work of this character.

BASTW-IT - Pr.p.1 Kootenay Fruit Lands Burton City and Fire Valley Fruit and Farm Lands are the be t sellers now. 15 months ago I purchased from original locators about 5000 acres of Fruit Lands near Burton City. Since then I have been getting the titles and having them sub divided into 10,15 and 20 acre blocks. One month ago I began to advertise them and have disposed of nine 15 acre blocks and twenty-one 20 ac. blocks, averaging more than one block per day. The reasons why Bur ton City lands sell so readily are as follows: 1—The hnd hue a good surface loam wilh a ctny s——oil. 2—It Is free from atones. 3—It Is nearly level and lias n gentle slope, none of It being more than 100 feet above the lake. 4—The public know I can furnish a good titla at once. .-They know I have had ft wide experience In fruit lands und am pruparcd to prove any slutenunts mentioned here. 6—Because I am a prac.lcal fruit grower, having over _0O frull trees on my home farm, and buyers get Ihe benefit of my experience. 7—1 am also prepared to c_ftr land, plant It and care for It until such time ns my customers are prepared to Hike It over. A SNAP one improved 20 acre fruit farm for sale fronting on the lake.has a nice beech and in a good locality, 2 1-2 miles north of Burton City. 5 acres cleared and ploughed, 175 fruit tree?, a nice creek runs through the property soil is good and no waste land. Daily boat service. This is one of the prettiest p!aces on the Arrow Lakes and will make a nice home in the heart of the fruit growing district.

If the fa.her his pictures hardly one in a.thousanl stopped to think, before joining in the roof-raising cheer .that the original wa. a hearty young fell w who wa? just turning fifty. There is no doubt the Laurier portraits did make a deep impression, and that Impression was among Un most curious political developments of our time. Sir John Thompson, It will h°. recalled, was a great figure In that campaign. The other sir John purposely pul him forward. He had a beautiful, belllike voice that it was a delight to listen to, he was an attractive speaker, a great debater .and he had brought to the government its single Increase of reputation; but his face was not familiar to the people in the way Laurler's was. Neither was any other save only sir J hn Macdonald's and that, nearly all had come to realize, was being seen for the last time. The curious phase of the business was that while all Canada was looking at the Laurier face and marking the Laurler name on the tablets of memory, Laurler, the man was sticking close to Quebec, where he was no newcomer. The tacticians of the party thought best to leave the Ontario part of the work to sir Richard Oartwright, and while the old lion did his work like a Hon, there was a good deal of disappointment that the 'grand young man' did not show himself oftener. "After the election, Laurier began to lead. Mr. Blake's way of leading was to do all the work himself. The Laurler way was to keep a lot of others at work. There was plenty of work to go round, ahd there was plenty of willing, capable workers. The new leader drilled a corps of the hardest flghtera parliament has ever seen. Paterson, McMullen. Lister. Mulock .Edgar, Davies, Praser. Landerkln. Sutherland, and, late but fateful acquisition, Tarte, they kept the government on the griddle for five desperale yeara. At the flrst sir John Macdonald was there; but sir John had flung his last challenge, had won his last fight, and the winning had exhausted his strength. He died; and when he waa gone the eyes of the country were concentrated upon the countenance of the 'grand young man,' who led the opposition. The others tried one after another in the seat sir John Macdonald had left vacant, but the public wouli not take them seriously. Sir John Abbott and sir John Thompson came, and were claimed by death. Sir Mackenzie Bowell was put ,as he supposed, in the post of honor, to find himself in a nest of traitors. Sir Charles Tupper came back from England, but the people would have no patience with him. The party In office was not in power, and Its leaders were without authority even In their own house. They could put off the evil day, but defeat was Inevitable. In the campaign of ISM Mr. I/uirle. did the hnnlest work of his life, Never phy- -icnlly robust, the Inconvenience,of travelling nmountf d In hla case to real dl .tress. Luckily the elections of IRK were held in the -minnicr. Trnvelllhig In winter he il-Mids above all things.' Those who have charge of the nnrangements on such oc- ewione know that only the greatest no lo equal sir Charles .'upper's performance He knew how old he was, and knew, too. that he wns swimming against the cur eut, but how lie did swim No one who saw It can ever forget how he stood for three mora: hours before a hostile Toronto audience, and with whnt serene cont mpt for Interruption he bilked »liout tariffs, and railways and tlie Chigneoto ship projects and a flcaen other ihlnga, whl.e organized bands k pi nak'ng f< r ills views on Manitoba, Even the ranks of Tuscany could not forbear to cheer In Liuier's CASe it was one leng prolonged exultant cheer from end to end . f his meet tigs* Hut ll was in Quebec thai he had to work without ap irlng himself Quebec had not yet been captured The candidates thought they could do It, but knew it wria uphill work Every man of them fort that the presence of the premier !n his ild'ng was needed tn tp the sealo When the list of demands was complete the Impossibility of satisfying them was evident, .ind tho tired warrior wus glad of the demonstration As nomination approached however, tho tvuul!da:e_ became Insistent. So the parly managers fell ban-!, on tlio expedient of having the leader show himself In three or tour counties ever day. On nomination day he spoke at St. Rose, then at St. Buslache- got hack lo S'. Jerome »t night and wtu-u those who had It In hand to put him on tim train for Montroat, went io look, they found him asleep on lhe aialr- Cfllse. Nature seta Its llm'ts.

Those who watched Ihe telegraphic bulletins coming In that nigh: In June rc- member how it told. "A gain in Quebec," "another gain in Quebec," "a sure majority in Quebes," "a Mudslide In Quebec." Such was the comment nt the side of every telegraph Ins rument tn Canada. It "had been freely prophesied. Mr. Tarte had pledged It. Commeclul travel.lers work ng buck from the terra incogn.ta of Quebec, held expressed their apprehension of lt. But whoever believed It wns set .down as merely an Irreclaimable grit. Now it had come and Laurler and the liberal party rode Into power on the crest of the wave. II liad taken n'ne yt-ars, to tile day to Justify the faith of those who bei eved him capable of leading the l.beral party to victory. Thut was 11 years ago and 1/iu lor nnd the liberal party ure still in p wer. Indeed, It ia now u postulate of pol.tiea In Mils country that the conservative party cannot hope to succeed »o long as sir Wilfrid Liuurler remains In public life. Iu Incidents, the .-..ml period i.ns not bean much like the first. Perhaps becnuac he has been very busy, as the head of the nation muat he; peihaps because men's eyes have been fixed miwe .".ten on far off field-; perhaps because of lac h'a opponents hnve not gone in for the close In fighting of former daya; whatever the reason or reasons, the Laurler method of loading lias not been of late years whnt It used to be. If he were to tour Ontnr'o now a new genera.Ion of voters would go to see and hear him for the fi-ist time. Perhaps he has forgotten tliat. Perhaps he does not need to remember, Hie. whoNt life la lived In public view, his every ao. tion Is submitted to imlveraal inspection, Why expdln what Is alreudy patent to all.
