SUFFRAGETTE OUTRAGE AT FULHAM, ENGLAND »• !_#*^ HON. SAM HUGHES of militia, whose estimates -jiro undtr consideration by the THoum of Common* yesterday. (By Pally Nowa I-ensed Wire.) OTTAWA, May 27.—"That this house is not justified in giving its assent to this bill until It has boan sub* mitted to the country." Such is the form of ths amendment to the motion for second reading of the naval bill moved in the senate by Sir George Ross, the Liberal .leader, and seconded by Senator Boitock. That the amendment will be adopted there is no reasonable doubt. The effect of Ite adoption will mean that the bill will be discharged from the order paper for the session, and not having been passed by both houses be inoperative for the present. Sir George Ross spoke from shortly after 3 until n riunrtor past 5 o'clock. There was a fair crowd in the chamber, and In the space on the floor ft the back of the railing. These included Sir Wilfrid Laurler, who listened carefully to the speech throughout, and mnny members of parliament who came and went during the progress of the speech. Tbe amendment moved by Sir George Is the same Ofl was moved by Senator Lou.Thood on the second reading of the Naval Service act in the upper house and. rejected by tbe then government majority. In thc earlier part of bis speech Kir George Ross gave ns his reasons for opposing the bill many of tbe argil menls advanced bv Ibe Liberals In tbe lower house. Towards the close he dealt with the references made by Premier Borden In his Toronto speech to the senate. He denied thai the majority In the senate would but echo the views or Sir Wilfrid Laurler 'n lho commons. ' ■ ' "We are not hero." lie snid. "to su'- nny premier or leader of the opposition. We nre here to do as we please according lo our consciences." He went on to nny that Mr. Border hid snfd In n Montreal speech thnt If bis bill was opposed he would appeal to the people. "I am not concerned Whether he does nor not," said sir Geor-re, "but I nm concerned that leu's In tlon which comes in this hoiif* should be In harmony with public opinion. When n bill arrives in thie house In regard to which public opinion is unsettled, then it is a safe principle to adopt thnt we should take such action as would show whn' public opinion Is." Senator Boldue, who followed, regretted the action of tbe L'bern' lender, nnd argued thnt the gift of three drendnoughls would do much to Insure the safety and solidarity of the British empire. Senator TC. D. Smith, Senator Alex under McCall, Senntor James Mason nnd Senntor J, J. Donnelly were Introduced by Mr. Lougheed, and Senator Taylor took his seat. At the morning sitting today of the senate lhe Bnnk net wns taken up In committee of the wholo, and the various changes which hnve "been mado to the old hanking measure in the house of commons mere reviewed- Clauses were passed up to 35, with tbe exception of one nr two which were held for consideration. The senate then adjourned. Compliments Leader. The debate on the nnval bill was resumed by Sir George Ross, who, in opening, said: "Allow me to offer my congratulation-- to the lender of the government (Hon. J. A. Lougheed) on the calm, lucid and comprehensive statement he has made to us yesterday upon--tho bill now under consideration. He spoke, feeling, no doubt, the responsibility of -considering with justice and in a comprehensive and Impartial manner the bill now before the senate. Allow me to Join yfith him In expressing a similar sense of reaponslblllty and at the outset assure the senate that I approach the discussion of the bill with a deep sense of my responsibility to the senate and the country. I realize what I shall say may be read and considered beyond this chamber and that in the mother country, as well ns In the dominions beyond the seas, all eyes are turned toward Canada at this moment. Voles of Party. "Unfortunately, the voice in which we speak on this question Is by circumstances for -which I am not responsible construed as the voice of party rather than the voice of the country. It Is not for mc to question the loyalty Of those who disagree with my views and I hope that those who rend our speeches may believe that we are equally anxious, though by different means, to maintain the solidarity of the British empire and to strengthen the bonds of defence and attachment which for over 100 years have bound Canada to the motherland.

INDIANSlON TRIAL FOR MURDER Alleged Slayers of Constable Kindness on Trial Before Assize Court at Vernon. (By Dally News Leased Wire.) VERNON, Ii.

The grand jury last night brought in a true bill. In the afternoon T. J. Qummlsky, inspector of Indian lands, held a conference witli the Indians and renewed his promises for a fair trial for the prisoners. There are -10 witnesses for the crown. - Hearing the men wore in his vicinity, Provincial Constable Kihgness of Clinton, on "May (j last year, organized a posse for tbe purpose of attempting to enptufe them.

Pelky and Burns Face Manslaughter Charge (By Dally News Leased Wire.) CALGARY, Altu., Muy 27.—13oth Arthur Pelkey anil Tommy Burns were committed to stand . trial on charges of manslaughter In connection with the death of Luthor McCarty here on Saturday. The evidence produced »t the preliminary hearing today was Identical to that given at lhe inquest yesterday. Inspector Duff us. Royal Northwest Mounted Police, who presided at the preliminary hearing .granted both men bail in tiie sum of $10,000 to appear for trial when called upon. Edward W. Smith of Chicago, who referoed the bout, and Billy McCarney, manager of McCarty, were bound over In $Bt'i) each to appear -as witnesses at lhe trial. All the bonds were forthcoming as soon as the court adjourned. Neither. Pelkey nor Burns oflcred any defence. Special Sitting. ■ No arrangements have yet been made for the trial of tho men, but it is probable that a special sitting of the supremo court will be arranged. Superintendent Deane, in an interview today, denied that the encounter at Manchester arena was .a prize fight. He claimed to have studied th'ls out very carefully, and was quite certain of his ground. Speaking of the arrests which be ordered, Mr. Deane said: "Public opinion demands that there be a thorough Investigation of this mntter. After the ridiculous verdict brought in by the coroner's jury last night Calgary would be made a laughing stock'In the eyes of the world if some further action were not taken, The charge laid Is one of plain manslaughter. The question of whether the contest was a boxing bout or a prize fight is not considered. As a matter of fact, thero can be no question on thnt score. The bout was a perfectly lawful one, or it would not have been allowed to proceed by the mounted police, I may sny that I havo given a pretty thorough study to the matter of prize fighting, and tlio bouts conducted in the Burns arena certainly could nm be designated as prize fights undor our present law. A prize Eight Is u fight with bare knuckles. Thnt is the criterion. In this case seven ounce boxing gloves were used. I bad these weighed to make sure of that. It could not lie described in any wny as a prize fight. Bout Was Lawful. "If' the people of Canada want these bouts stopped, the only thing to do Is to have the parliament o Canada alter the law governing thi matter, and prevent paid admissions being charged for boxing contests, und hence remove the inducement for professional boxers to como here. At present nothing can be done. Do you suppose for a minute that I would have stood by and allowed these bouts to go on bad they been contrary U law?" "There Is no doubt about the lawfulness of the bout. But that does not alter the fnet that it Is clearly our duty to lay a charge of manslaughter and have the responsibility for the death of this man fixed. The coroner's jury used tn the olden times to do this, but In these days It rarely commits itself." Demands That Peace Treaty Be Signed DELEGATES COMPLAIN OF INTERVENTION Bulgaria Anxious to Reach Agreement With Greece— To Fight Servia (By Dally News Leased Wlr-?.) OTTAWA, May 27.—During th consideration of militia estimates thi evening I*, is. Carvell of Carlota protested against the Increase In th expenditure during the past tw years. It had grown over threo mil lions in that time, he sn'd, and If it kept on increasing at the same paci would soon amounf to $20,000,000. The present expenditure, lie said, was altogether too much for a country like Canada. Only about (8,000,000 of the money voted annually got t' the men. The rest was largely wast ed. Col. Sam Hughes, miiilrl ;r o militia, said that the increase wui due entirely to lhe fact that in th- past couple of years the force hat largely Increased. He snid that it was tbe people of Canada who wer responsihle for the Increased cost of the militia owing to their enlhuslai and desire to establish military units. Both Conservative nnd Liberal mo hers were constantly approaching him in regard to these matters. Not Large Enough. Col, II, H. McLean, Liberal, main tained that the expenditure on thi militia was not large enough, Men could not go to camj) without serious financial loss to themselves, and the period for training was too short to make for efficiency. The great want of the militia at this lime, he said, Is instructors. Steps should be taken without delay to remedy the insufficiency, During the aftef-nnon the estimates of the department of justice were considered and passed. Premier Borden left t he capital this afternoon for Grand Pre, Nova Scotia to go to the bedside of his aged mother, who is very III. it is feared that her death is only a question of a few days.

Doherty, minister of justice, announced in the house today that it was his intention to hold an investigation Into the affairs and conduct of the Kingston penitentiary nl an early date, and Judging from somi of the discussion that there had beau hi the bouse, there is reason for thu Inquiry. Tho minister of justice snid the investigation would go abend jus) as soon as lie could get men qualified to carry It on. The commissioners would noed t0 be satisfactory from the point of view of doing Justice, nnd would also need to be qualified to Investigate, the general methods of administration or the institution. The minister also expressed himself as being favorable to the idea that what a prisoner earns during his term •should go to himself, or preferably to those dependent upon him. Wants Larger Grant, Tho consideration of the militia estimates which followed began wilh a business-like discussion of the method of providing for the sale keeping of arms and accoutrements. Hon. Prank (diver pressed for a larger grant for (he mounted corps in the west, Col. Hughes replied that the department had already made some increases In this regard. There was sonic debate over the advisability of separate armories instead of the armories in public buildings used for government purposes. Col. Hughes told Hon. Charles Mar- Cile that the total militia estimates had risen from $8,000,000 last year to '10.(100,000 tbis year. The cost was chiefly due to an increase in the mim- iicr of men and burses trained, Col Hughes added that ihey were drilling H,oO(» more men than two years ago and had -10,500 more horses at camps!

LONDON, May 27,—Tiie growing displeasure in diplomatic circles of the great powers at the attitude of Creece and Servla found expression today In what practically amounted to an ultimatum, which Sir i-Mward Grey, tho Dritish secretary for foreign affairs, delivered to the delegates of the belligerents. The c'iniiiiiinicailon, wbich was couched In strong phrases, without ambiguity, made It perfectly clear ■that enough time imd been spent in discussing the future peace of the Balkans and that the moment bad arrived for the signing of the draft treaty. Despite assertions to tbe contrary, the ambassadors wore from the first adverse to any modiricaitlona of tho draft, not because of the character of the proposed changes, but because of delay which would attend fresh discussions. Furthermore, it was pointed Out that thc proposed changes were useless in those cases Which had been left in the hands of the powers. Consequently, the delegates were informed that a decision had been reached and lhat pence should have heen signed forthwith without modification, it was also intimated that those states which were prepared to sign should do so and that It would serve no purpose for -those not prepared to sign to remain longer, thereby Intimating that the recalcitrants may continue the war. The Servians a"d Greeks have notified their home governments of this decision and are now waiting Instructions. The Turks and Bulgarians are ready to sign and It ra not expected that the Montenegrins will raise any objections. Some of the Balkan delegates express the opinion that the communication of the [lowers savors more of Intervention thnn of mediation. But the real reason behind the ultimatum lles in the determination of the diplomats to get lhe draft signed so tig to be in a position to take up the b'ff questions remaining for settlement after the preliminaries of peace are adopted. A Constantinople despatch says that the council of ministers hns decided to reject all modifications of the peace draft suggested hy the allies. To Isolate Servia.

The moving of this resolution practically assures ii** adoption, for Sir George, as Liberal leader of tho upper house, would Now that thc session at Ottawa is drawing to a close, the people of Kootenay have opportunity to Judge of the first year's work of their new member, Mr. ll. F. Green, who was elected by acclamation on May 30 last, in succession to Mr. A. 8. Goodeve, on the latter's appointment to the railway commission. That Mr. Green has, to use a hackneyed expression, made good there arc few, even of his political opponents, will attempt to gainsay. He has lookod well after the interests of his constltuenls, and has established for himself a strong place among the government supporters at Ottawa. It is true, perhaps, thut Mr. Green hus not attempted to take any leading part In thc debates, But when Kootenay needed hfm—when the lead bounty was before the house, for example—he was heard and heard effectively. Mr. Green's work ln other directions Is seen In the various grants in the estimates, main and supplementary, for public works of various kinds throughout Kootenay, and hlB careful attention to all matters submitted to him. Mr. Green's record during the session and during the past year generally demonstrate clearly und unmistakably that the people of Kootenay mado no mistake on May 30 last year when they elected Mr, Green by acclamation tu serve them in thc House of Commons.

Teuton or Celt or whatever we be, We are Britons all i" our love for thee, Brlttanla.' "On th© question of defence that we owe to ourselves and to the empire we are all agreed from centre to circumference. Canada is the home of patriotic citizens. We are feeling our way in a large sense for the first time as to how we can best express that patriotism. The line of cleavage be- tween the two sides appears tn bo whether, as the WH sayfl, to increase the effective naval forces of the empire la a hotter expression of our loyalty than the permanent policy which combines the defence of Canada and her commercial routes to Great Britain by the creation of a Canadian fleet, serviceable at the som0 tlmie for the defence of the empire wherever its integrity may be assailed,'1. Sir George reviewed the origin of tho question of naval defence and its development during the Inst few years, The flrBt motion for naval defence was made by Hon. George E. Foster, In the commons In 1909, in a resolution declaring that Canada should no longer delay in assuming her proper share of the responsibility and financial burden incident to the suitable protection of her exposed coast Une and great seaports. With amendments by Sir Wilfrid Laurler, then leader of the government, and Mr. Borden this resolution was unanimously concurred In. Sir George said he was sure every member of tho senate would agree with the declaration of the resolution that the time had come for Canada to "assume In larger measure the responsibility of national defence." Jt would be, said Sir George, Intolerable if. with our wealth ond gront resources and our abundant prosperity, we 'should look idly on as the motherland prepared to fight the battle of the empire and to fight our battles.

A declaration by tho Senate that the government's naval bill, or nny measure, should be submitted to the people has its ridiculous as Well as n serious side. The Senate Is not n representative body. Its member*-. are appointed for life, chiefly as a rownrd for party services, and are in no way responsible to the people. There has been for years a desire throughout Canada for reform of tlio Senate, and it hns many -times been proposed Hint It should be transformed into a representative body, whose members would be elected by districts lo serve a certain stated term. But the Senate has made no move to carry any such proposal Into effect. Its members are apparently not prepared to submit themselves nnd their records to ^JjiS^Vbiai*'' of, the pcpple, nor are they-, prepared to say that the'r successors shall bo bo elected. They are content that the lieople shall have no say as to who'shall be members of the Senate. Bul in th. case of the naval bill thc majority of its members are apparently prepared to say thut a bill which has been adopted by a large mdjority of thi people's representatives in the House of Commons, who are responsible to their respective constituents for their actions, shall not become law until li has been submitted to a general vote of the country. Only thd exigencies of partisan politics could force Sir George Boss and his supporters In thc Senate into such a ridiculous position an they have taken In regard to the nav;il day.

"I apeak for the senate when I say that we concur unanimously in the proper action to which unanimous con sent was given In the other chamber In March, 1909. That resolution was drafted by -the hand of patriotic states-- men. It asserted that Canada was prepared to co-operate In full sympathy with the British navy ln maintaining the safety of the empire and the peace of the world, That resolu tlon was read from ocean ito ocean, believe," eaid Sir Goorge, "the sentiments expressed therein Bent _ thrill through Canada and that she entered upon a now era. it wag a n**-vv coronation to her, like that of the day when she was Initiated Into the family nations some 40 years before she was able to take her place ■beside her royal mother to defend the constitution which so long gave England life, gave Kngland liberty, civil and religious, and In..which we.share so. generous.** and so flteely. And I may note the chronological fact that this resolution was adopted on OotobBr 2fl. 100!)—the forty-second anniversary of the day on which her majesty Queen Victoria signed thc British North America act. the charter of Canadian liberty." Continuing, Sir Oeorge noted that the three men who stood Sponsor for that resolution were Sir Wilfrid Laurler, Right H'»n. It. L. Borden ahd Hon. O. 13. Foster. He c'uoted extracts from the speeches of the two Conservative leaders In support of that resolution. Xlr. Borden had said that he was entirely of the opinion In the first place. "that the proper line upon which we should proceed was itho line of having a naval force of our own." Mr. Borden hnd again noted that the policy of contribution had not met with the approval of the Australian people, ihtti the policy of contribution would lead to entanglements and friction with tho admiralty and that permanent co-operation could only be along the lines of a constitutional and an autonomous development of the Dominion. Mr. Foster 1ms emphasized the fact that a policy of contribution was not consonant witli Canndlnn national pride and would leave no residue and strike no root. The opinion iin(j policy enunciated. Bald Sir Cleorgc, suited him exactly. It suited the then both sides of the house. H suited Canada as a whole. Out of It grew thn Naval Ser- v-3c net of 1910. For that act the present government wa-*, now responsible, since they had not repealed It or amended It. Under that net the government could do all and much more than It was now proposed to do undor the present bill. Thlrty-fl millions or threo times that amount could bo voted by parliament Tor Increasing the effective naval forces of the empire. If this wag an emergency all the government hnd to do wns to lirlng in an estimate for $10,000,000 or (15,000,000 of money t0 start immediately upon the construction of battleships wherever they could be constructed best und make an annua) vole until they were completed. That was the principle which had always guided parliament hitherto In making appropriations even larger than the one now under consideration. constitutional development under British institutions. The third objection to the bill was that it did not provide for any permanent naval force In Canada. To use the words of Mr. Foster: "There are no bones to It, no Canadian -flesh or blood nor mental attitude," It provided merely empty ships. A fourth objection me_ that the bill did not provide for any Canadian training for naval service in Canada, as did tho Nnval Service net in 1910. In the one case the government proposed merely to place ships at the control of the admiralty. Idea Abhorrent. "The ships are to be given to Oreat Britain," _«!d Sir George, "merely as empty shells. That Idea Is abhorrent to me. Then the ships ore to -be maintained by the British taxpayers, The poor, impoverished purse of Canada sends to Groat Britain three empty shells and asks'Britain to man Ihem, and then Canada sits hack und keeps out of the way of all harm." * Moreover, there was no provision for the construction of ships in Canndn or for dockyards. Was Canada less advanced in engineering skill than Japan or China, or Spain or Italy, or Austro- Hungary? "I have confidence*," said Sir George, "that a country that has exercised the administration of one-third of the territorial expanse of the British empire is etiunl to every endeavor of industrial achievement. Let us not depreciate ourselves." In an eloquent preomtlon Sir George stild: "What should tvo now do'.' Find out what the will of ttfti people is and obey, that mandate.'

We are no longer walking timorously In the path of destiny; our pulse'beats stronger and om- fjtep is flrmer,:for tho strength of young manhood Is In our loins.

It is for the statesmen of todny tu set lhe pace for tho next gen- oration us well ns for the present, and to give thi' national character an impetus which will fire it with a newborn enthusiasm for higher national Ideas.

SHEFFIELD, Ens., May 27.-An Ingeniously conntructed bomb, bearing it.e Inscription "Votea for women," wan found In the public library today, bomb was plunged Into water. No Emergency. Touching but briefly upon the ques- lion of an emergency. Sir George noted that the admiralty memomndum did not declare that there was an emergency, but simply said that If Immediate aid wa8 to bo given it should take the form of , the lurgest and strongest uhips of war which science ran build or money could supply. The first objection he had to the present bill was on constitutional grounds. Under the British North America act the parliament waa entrusted with defence. The present bill Bought to put under control of another government money that parliament voted for defence purposes. Thus the conclusive Jurisdiction conferred by the British North America act was being surrendered In part-at least A second objection was, as Mr. Borden himself had pointed out in 1909, .that the plating of the control of the money voted in the hands of a British i minister not responsible t0 Canada I would lead to -friction. It won n doctrine foreign to the whole trend ot British admiralty a certain number of modern battleships, but not a single Canadian to man them? .When wc fought for tho empire In South Afrlcn we did not send empty uniforms. It was not Nelson's ships thnt won the buttle of Trafalgar. Nelson did not say: 'England expects this day that every ship will do it9 duty.' Nelson suld: 'England expects this day that every man will do his duty.' "This bill calls for money, not men; for models of steel and Iron; not for courage and daring; lt appeals to no man's flcal* nnd blood; it offers no ■ Victoria Cross for lives risked on the battlefield. Empty aB an exploded cartridge and soulless ns Its plated aides, It arouses no sympathy, n0 sentiment, nu emotion of joy or glory. Should a bill like thlB be submitted for the assent of a -royal Bcion whose ancestors for many generations honored the British constitution as the palladium of liberty and sclf-ROvcrn- ment? Our feelings, our judgment, our sense or duty to our country all combine to ask for further delay In the hope that even at this late hour we may decide to show to the world that the disrupting forces of party warfare have been submerged by the loyalty of a united nation, acting for the naval defence of Canada and of the empire. Sir George concluded -by moving, seconded by Hon. Hewitt Bostock: "That uil of the words after the first 'that' be struck out and the following substituted: 'This houso la not justified In giving its assent to the bill until It Is submitted to the Judgment of the country'." ■ Hon. Joseph Bolduc, replying for tho government, said that both sides of tho house seemed to be united In the desire to usBlst the mother country.

To the Editor or The Dnlly News. Sir,—in my article which appeared In your columns recently I mude use of the Words: '^Everything is organized uround Nelson except mining." Since writing thc communication I riotlco that the Uritiflli Columbia Mining association has held a meeting In your city and that the officers for tho ensuing term have been elected. Unless A. H. Gracey, 0 member of the exocutivc board! Ih "•' Nelson man, to une n slang term, where does Nelson got off at? Spokane, Rossland, Greenwood, Trail and Kaslo nre represented In tho roster of officials, and unless tho possible exception noted Is correct, Nelson according to this notion of the organization, Is not on the mining map, In a word, why do not tho mining people of Nelson organize? Nelson people are not so vitally Interested in the silver-lead ores of the Sloean, the base gold-copper of the Boundary, or Rossland, the lead-zinc product mined at Rlondel, etc. In fact, thc interests of the other sections named arc not identical with Nelson. Except In a casual way, what interest has thn gentlemen named in thc platinum group metals now being exploited, Nelson being about the centre of that belt, and these metals being unknown In any of the others, with possibly one exception. In a nutshell, a strictly Xelson organization is missing. There should bo, say a listing committee Appointed. All prospectors and others who have mining property for sale, could leave samples and descriptions or reports of their holdings with the secretary of the association and the listing committee could pnss upon the merit of tho property and so report to ;i would- be purchaser li* necessary. This Is not the time to fully outline tho benefits of such a plan, but our main object would be to eliminate wild-catting, I am fully In accord with lho organization's endorsement of Hon. R. F. Green, and tho action they took regarding the lead bounty, hut except using Nelson as a convention city, und possibly a convenience, what permanent benefit has this collection of mining men been to your Immediate tributary mining resources?
