NEW YORK, Jan. 4.—Sir .lames Pliny Whitney, premier o- Ontario, is resting quietly tonight at the Man- hatan hotel, where be has been ill for over two weeks. While It is admitted that his condition is serious, both Dr. R. A. Pyne, tbe Ontario minister of education, and Dr. Herman Biggs, the nerve specialist, who Is In charge of the case, stated that they apprehend no danger. Dr. Biggs visited Sir -lames shortly after 5 Q'clock this afternoon, and leaving tho patient ho said that the patient was no worse, but was resting comfortably. Dr. Pyne and Howard Wallace, the premier's private secretary, spent some -time with the patient and Lady Whitney, early in the evening, and stated that they considered him Improving. A report of tile premier's death in Toronto caused a shock. There was nothing to justify such a rumor, and there is no danger. "He is poorly, but we have every hope that h0 will rally," said Dr. Pyne. Dr. Biggs said: "His condition is serious, hut. I apprehend no immediate danger of a ratal termination." Sir James left Toronto early in December tor a tour in the south in an effort to restore his health. He had suffered a nervous breakdown, and Dr. Pyne considered that a short trip would restore his health. On the way back from the Eout'i Sir James hrvimo seriously H' In skis city and took apartments at the Manhattan on December 14, Since that time he has been constantly in charge of a nurse, while the two physicians have been in attendance. All telegraphic communication has been cut off from bin apartment, and Lady Whitney Is with him most, of the time. After a few days lie rallied, but fell back once more, but even then Dr. Pyno thought a prolonged rest would restore him. On Friday last, however, his heart action gave cause for alarm. He rallied, hut has had several attacks of the same nature, While these would not alarm the physicians in a young man, the fact that Sir James Is over 70 has caused them to watch him closely. Both Dr. Pyne and Mr. Wallace left their apartments tonight for a length* oimd period and stated there was nothing in the condition of the patient to require their attendance. Death Reported. Illy Daily News Leased Wire) OTTAWA, Jan. ■!.—Premature reports of the death of Sir James Whitney were received as easily as 4 o'clock. The news was conveyed to Premier Borden and Hon. Frank Cochrane, former colleagues of Sir James In tho Ontario government, and to other members of the cabinet, all of whom expressed their sorrow. A couple of hours later It was learned that the report was incorrect and that there was £ slight change In the condition ot*'«l-e" patient. Sir James was last In Ottawa on the occasion of the holding of the Inter-provincial conference at the end of October. He was not well nt the time and on one occasion had to withdraw from the conference owing to indisposition. R. C. Whitney, a brother, left here for New York last night. Prayers for Recovery TORONTO, Jmi. I.—When Acting Premier .1, J.

CROWN PRINCE AGAIN IN ' OPPOSITION TO KAISER (By Dally News Leased Wiro.) B BR LIN, Jan. 4.—Crown Prince Frederick William appears to have again taken an attitude of opposition to the government and the emperor— thU time in connection with the Zu- bern affair. ■ For some time past It was said the crown prince had sent a telegram to Col. von lie titer, the commander of the ■■■'th regiment, who is said to have instructed his oWloers to act aggressively in case of trouble between the German, soldiers and the townspeople, commending the colonel's stand. N6t,much attention was paid to the rumors till they were published In a Paris paper. The Frankfurter Zeltung now commenting on tbe story says it Is unable to verify It, but adds significantly flint Intimates of the crown prince do not deny the report. Abandonment of Mediterranean Disaster to Empire FRANCE DISTURBED BY LLOYD GEORGE Disarmament Proposal Unprecedented Blunder—Australia's Defence Policy, (By Dally News Leased Wire.) LONDON, Jan. 4—a* noteworthy contribution to the naval discussion comes from the pen of Admiral Malum, in an article published tn the Daily Mall, which describes him as the greatest of all naval historians. Admiral Mnhan arrives at conclusions which may he summed up thus: "Thc British navy cannot abandon the Mediterranean without disaster to the empire, but cannot hold It without disaster to Great Britain,"' "At the present moment," he says, "the mere safety of the British Isles is conceived to be so far imperilled that It has completed a radical change In the distribution of the British navy, the feature of which Is the concentration around the Islands themselves of a large majority of the battleship force. Subordinate to this, but directly related to it, has been the withdrawal of the Mediterranean fleet from Malta to Gibraltar as Its definite headquarters. England's naval force Is too few in units lor distribution in British seas and the Mediterranean fleet Is loo small for the Mediterranean division to be advanced as far as in former days. "Thus analyzed, the situation itself proclaims more forcibly than words can, the effect on tho British tenure of the Mediterranean exercised by the department of the German riect nnd by tha coincident reduction of the British intended naval strength from the two power standard to that of 60 per c-nt. "This redlivt.'uni although the basis for the est! i'.at ■ 1' percentage is tbe German navy only, is of itself a withdrawal from the advanced push inn Which Is regarded ;is no longer ton- able. Whether it is necessary is too intricate for the pronouncement of a foreigner. The avowed and executed purpose of Germany to force her navy, and the rivalry between Italy and Austria Insuring a similar but smaller development in the. Mediterranean constitute the main elements of a. contemporary naval Situation adverse to Great Britain. That the Near East will continue to be the tlhderbox, as It has been for a half century past, is even more than likely from the events of the last 12 months. *lf a general war should grow out of the present critical situation, how certainly can the British navy secure Egypt and Sue/.? Such security, if maintained, would Imply almost Inevitably the power to act offensively also In neighboring waters. The British empire needs tbe whole sea for its imperial movement of commerce and Its Imperial naval effectiveness Is dependent upon the movement of fleets essential lo Ihe existence of the empire." France Alarmed (By Dally News Leased Wire.) PARIS, Jan. 4.—David Lloyd George, chancellor of the exchequer of the British cabinet, who has sailed for Algiers, has left a wake of dissatisfaction nnd uneasiness behind him throughout France, from Calais to Marseilles, owing to his declaration favoring international disarmament and a reduction of the British naval budget and also because of his conversations with leading Frenchmen, In which he endorsed the views of .lean Juares and his group of anti-militarist unified socialists. No French statesman, with the exception of M. Juares, Baron d'Estour- nclle de Constant and M. Valiant, even bo much.as dream at the present moment of reducing the three-yeur terms of military service and what Mr. Lloyd George said Is declared by all responsible men here as entirely inaccurate as regards France. Even the present Radical cabinet, formed from the group at the Pan congress, voting on resolutions returning to the two-year term of service, stood flat-footed the very day it came Into office for three-year service, promising to carry it through honestly aud also to increase the country's naval defence. Senator Rlbol, the veteran ex-premlor, said with reference Iti Lloyd George's disarmament proposals: "It would be an unprecedented blunder simultaneously to preach naval disarmament in London and military development in Paris." Joseph Relnaeh says: "A weak naval policy in England would enable Germany to save on her navy ana spend more on her army, thus destroying the present balance of power, which alone maintaiils peace.". Other ex-premiers, such as Aristide Brland, Louis Barlhou, and even Georges Clemenceau, who it cannot bo too often Insisted upon is the power behind the scenes In the Pemoerg- Calllnux cabinet, all agree that uoya George, who seems to have ordered his views of the French national sentiment exclusively from M. •Iliar'-S' evidently Ignores or falls to undei- stand the true feeling in France today in regard to the disarmament, There Is only one opinion among re- k (Continued on paso seven.) iBI WILL CARRY OUT DEMONSTRATIONS Activities of Assistant Provincial Horticulturist in This District for Winter Are Outlined Demonstrations In pruning, top working and other horticultural work will be carried out during the present winter In this distriel by M.

I.—Max Nordeau, in a review of the world's'history during 1913, published by the Neue Frete Presse, lays great stress on the military character of Lloyd George's lanJ campaign, which be regards as ihe Inst step In tho change of the old aristocracy into a radical democracy, tending more and more toward socialism. "Home rule must come to a compromise with Ulster, says Mr. Nordeau, "If It is not to come to grief. Events in Britain, despite their so- called peaceful character, signify one of the mightiest revolutions in history." TO REORGANIZE ARMY NOT FOR AGGRESSION (By Dally News Leased Wire.)

The Vatican was overwhelmed with Inquiries, but at that very hour the pope was quietly conversing with Cardinal Hem- pill, who had not long before congratulated the pontiff on his vigorous appearance.

Sergt. Harper, Constable Stevenson and a guide named Harrington set out from Saskatoon lake on November in search of Asa Hunting, alleged to have abducted a child 15 years old from the district. Later trappers found a rifle and gun on the trail of the party. The incident gave rise to the theory that they had met foul play and as time went on and no word was received at headquarters from them, grave fears were entertained as to their fate. Acting on the information received Commissioner Perry ordered search party out to clear up the mystery. The second party has kept in telegraphic communication with headquarters and upon receipt of the news the search party was ordered to return. In an Interview last night, Commls sioner Perry stated that lie had ns yet received but few details of the long and hazardous journey undertaken hy the patrol and beyond the fact that Hunting had been arrested and the child recovered, the wire conveyed no information.

Whatever adventures and hardships they encountered In the barren north land \vere Ignored 1" the brief despatch Sergt. Harper sent to his com manding officer. He staled that Hunting had been arrested on December 23 about 25 miles southeast of Grande Cache, and that the stolen child was safe. PUBLIC MEETING WILL SELECT CANDIDATES FOR THE COUNCIL Three Candidates for Mayoralty, Mayor Keefe, Aid. W. M. Cunliffe and J. J. Malone, Willing to Abide by Decision-rSix Candidates for Aldermen Will Also Be Selected—Vote Will Be by Ballot and Be Restricted to Those Whose Names Appear on 1914 Voters' List. The feeling that the present year is a critical one in Nelson's history and that during tt the city should huve tbe very best possible council has become general throughout the city, and for some days there has been much anxious discussion as to how this might best be accomplished. As is generally known, there have been for some little time three candidates in the field for the mayoralty, with the possibility of a fourth, but so far only one man has actually announced his candidature for aldermanic honors, although two others have been nominated, and it has been the presumption that they would go to the polls. With three or possibly four mayoralty candidates in the field, each with a more or less complete slate of aldermanic candidates supporting him, there was bound to be confusion and the possibility that the needs of Nelson might be lost sight of in the Interests of rival cliques. As a result of this a meeting has been called for 8:ti0 o'clock this evening in the Eagles* hall, when the whole situation will be gone into and an attempt made to select a candidate for mpyor and fcix [candklates for the council, who will be satisfactory to the people of Nelson as a whole and who, it is hoped, It will be possible to elect by acclamation. The three announced candidates for the mayoralty, thc present incumbent of that office, Herbert Keefe, and Aid. W. M, Cunllffe and J. J. -Malone, have announced their willingness to abide by the decision of this evening's meeting, In the meantime eacli has withdrawn his election card appearing In The Daily News. Whoever is the choice of this gathering will have the support of these three men. Each Is willing to allow his name to be submitted, but the meeting will lie Tree to select anyone else as candidate for the position and the three will support any such choice. In regard to the aldermanic candidates, the man definitely in the field is George Horstead, manager Qf tho opera house and tho Nelson fruit fair, white Aid. I. A. Austin and John Notmnn have been nominated by tbe tradeB and labor council to contest west and east wards, respectively. The names or these three men are eligible for submission to tonight's meeting, nnd as many more as may be named to be voted upon. None of thes-> three candidates is under obligation to abide by tbe result of the meeting. The position of each, it is hoped, however, will be made known previous to the taking of a vote this evening. In any case the idea is to select a slate of six aldermen who. It is hoped, will he representative of the city's varied interests and in whose hands municipal affairs will be snt'e during the coming year, the most critical in Nelson history. The meeting this evening Is not called by any particular interest olfaction. It is hoped it will he a representative gathering of the voters of the elty of Nelson, all of whom will bo welcome to attend and take part In the proceedings. The voting on choice of candidates ror both the mayoralty and positions on the aldermanic board will be .strictly limited to those whose names appear upon the 1914 voters' list as qualified electors. The meeting will elect its own chairman and will ho conducted along strictly non-partisan Hues, It is intended. Tho voto will be by ballot.

The family i BURNED 8TORE TO BE REBUILT AT BAYNES Origin of Fire Mystery, but Robbery Suspected as Motive—Holiday Season Celebrated. fPnAfjUt] fn Th" D»'ly v«Wn i BAYNES. B. C, Jan. 4.—The serious i'ire by which the store of Dunn Bros, was burnt to the ground is still enveloped in mystery. Some time after 3 a.m. an employe of Messrs. Fred Adolph engaged in watering the log ging trail to their camp on the Elko road noticed ns he passed the back of the premises that, a light of some sort was burning In . the front, but attached no importance to the fact. About 3:45 a.m. Mr. Boy.- of Roxall, living in W. T. E. Biker's house, adjoining the store, awoke to the fact of a strong light shining into his bedroom. Fearing for the Great Northern depot, of which he is temporarily in charge, he got up, but found the front part or tbe store was on fire, and by the time ho got out and gave the alarm tbe flames bad full possession of the main part. Fortunately there was no wind, but those who assembled could only look on, as water was not available, and in about an hour the roof fell. Not long after the wall; were in flames, and the entire stock of groceries, dry goods, hardware and tools, worth $6,500, were completely destroyed. The building cost $4,500. and altogether the total loss by fire amounts to $12,000, $7,000 of which is covered by insurance. A very large gasoline tank belonging to the Baynes Lake Land company, for the pumping stations of their irrigation scheme, lies behind Mr. Biker's bouse, and grave fears were at first entertained for Its safety. It Is supposed robbery is at the root of the disaster. The store was broken into some months back and tho cash taken. The prolonged ab' sence of the proprietors over contract work in the Crows Nest, Michel und Fernie, may have Invited another attempt of the same kind, especially as on New Year's day the store was closed. W. Dunn came down by the 11 a.m. train from Fernie in response to a tele, phone message, and said no time would be lost in resuming business, and meanwhile arc erecting a new store of concrete. If outstanding accounts are collected with the usual facility tbe net loss will not exceed $2,500. Christmas and New Year's festlv ities have been unusually gay this year, the chief being a well attended dance on Boxing night in the Adolph hall, and a most successful ice carnival held on Baynes lake on December 30, given hy Dr. J. Fyson Saunders and Mrs. Saunders. Some 60 of the elite of Baynes and Waldo were in evidence to do justice to the ample provision made for their entertainment and enjoyment. Next day a persistent snowfall of five or six inches obliterated the theatre of the previous day's carnival. AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION • FORMED AT BURTON fSpeclal to The Dally News.) BURTON. B.

Under ordinary circumstances, The Daily News would not be In favor of the proposal which appears on the front page of today's Issue, but the situation is an extraordinary one and calls for extraordinary measures. During the past year the city purchased the gas plant and the street railway. It assumed control of the former on there was a sore blow for British pride. What Shackleton proposes to do now will not only be valuable from a scientific standpoint, but it will be an example of courage which cannot fall to bo of moral value. The youth nf Britain has always learned from the lives of the great explorers to emulate those qualities on which the empire has been founded. Very correctly the London Chronicle suggests that the Dominions should give Shackleton their generous support, it is little credit to remember the parsimonous attitude of the public everywhere toward these expeditions in the past. It may be that the average man thinks them merely foolhardy. He cannot see any result from the hardships they inflict on those taking part in them. There Is no valuable territory to be acquired, it is true, but ns long ns man cannot live by bread alone he will continue to find life more glorious because of its magnificent adventurers. • ■■'-■'•■• ^;-:*i'S*=.?

This day 17 years ago was marked hy vast excitement in political circles at, Ottawa, for late upon the previous evening no less than seven cabinet ministers—Messrs. Foster, Tunper, Montague, Haggart, Ives and Wood- had drawn up a letter tendering their resignation:-! to the premier, Sir Mackenzie Mowell. The document had boon carried immediately to the bead of the government, who was in his office, higher grade, with two parts of sensational acting and anti-climaxes, which make the picture a genuine novelty. Tomorrow the three-reel adaptation of Sir Walter Scott's novel, "Hob Roy," will be the attraction, while on Friday the European sensation, "Fantomas— The Man in Black," will bold tin' screen, making a very strong appeal to the lover of sensational incidents "The Man in Black" is a genuine thriller, without any objectionable feat-' ures.

HOUGHTON, Mich. Jon. L—-Efforts o end tiie strike of Zipper miners by conciliation failed tonight, .iolin B. Densmore, uf the department of labor, announced after a final effort to bring tiie warring Interests together. He die not hesitate to blnme bis failure on tint uncompromising attitude nf tin mine owners. The rook that split the negotiations and shattered hopes was thc question of recognizing the union. "In a nutshell the question is Whether the union men should go back to work without discrimination, The companies refused to do anything but discriminate against the union," said Mr. Densmore, "It means a struggle to the bitter end," said O. N. Hilton, chief counsel for the Western Federation of Miners, who has represented President C. H. Moyer since the hitter's deportation, "The outcome Is due entirely to the attitude of the companies, They wanted everything and would conecde nothing." The union's last effort was an offe to withdraw the federation from tbe field, its place to be taken by a union affiliation with the Michigan State Federation of Labor, the United Mine Workers of America, or some similar body. This was rejected absolutely by the companies. January 1 and on February 1 will take above where the seven were in con over the latter. The city previously owned its electric light and power plant and Its waterworks sysfem. The taking over of the two additional utilities means that the scope of civic operations will be materially increased during the present year. The operation of the gas plant and the street railway system in conjunction with tho previously owned utilities will mean that many now problems will have to be faced. If the gas plant and the street railway are not to become burdens upon tiie taxpayers of the city it will be necessary that they have the most careful management during the present year. Upon the start made will depend to a very largo extent their ultimate success from a financial standpoint. In, addition the question of street improvement should be dealt with by the incoming council. Part of Baker and Front streets were macadamized last year. Both these streets must be put In shape this year, for at present, they are r disgrace to the city. There are air many other problems of an importan character which have to be dealt with by the council. In view of tiie necessities of t'ie situation, it is to be hoped that every elector who can possibly a;tend will be present nt this evening's meeting to do his part in selecting a council in whose hands the affairs nf Nelson, particularly the management of the city's recently acquired public utilities, will be safe during the coming year. And, In attending, it is to be hoped that everyone will leave at home personal animosities and private interests and vote and act solely and entirely it; the interests of Nelson, which should be the first consideration with every good citizen. ANOTHER ANTARCTIC TION, EXPEDI clave. On January 7 the house w'ai packed with members and spectators eat-er to hear tiie announcement of the tottering government, and the explanation of the disaffected members of the cabinet. The crisis had arisen out of thc accusations affecting the reputations of more than one minister, but Sir Mackenzie characterized his retiring eolieu.'UOs as a "nest or traitors'' and, though a truce was patched up by which several of the ma Icon lent.-; lent their support to the administration, within a few days the premier decided to resign. The veteran parliamentarian, Sir Charles Tupper, became head of the government in hi3 stead, but In tiie general elections, which followed-- closely on h's accepting office, the Conservatives were signally defeated, and the Liberals, led by Hon. Wilfrid Laiirler, came into power. It is no wonder that the British press is loud In its praise of Sir Ernest Shackleton for his determination to lead another Antarctic expedition next year, says the Montreal Star.

MEXICO CITY, Jan. 4.—Announcement that John Llnd's trip to Pass Christian, Miss., leaves the Washing ton government's attitude unchanged is a source of disappointment to foreigners here, as it was hoped that an early end to the distressing conditions would soon come. While outwardly Mr. hind's visit to the president was treated as bearing little significance by official .Mexico, the belief that the United States will still keep its hands off Is highly gratifying. "The best Mexico can expect of Washington is to be left alone to work out its own problem," was the torse summing up of one Mexican statesman. In spite of the cricitcal financial outlook, the administration appears to he highly optimistic. President lluerta regards the flotation of a foreign loan as far from a vain hope. Pre* mature announcement lately of assurance from Mexican Finance Minister de hi Lamn, now in Europe, that he had succeeded in inducing the acceptance by Engliish an French hankers of bonds amounting to $200,000,- 000, is now explained as an incorrect interpretation of the code used in the cablegram. The finance department, however declares that the minister's efforts are progressing favorably and there is reason to believe he will be successful. The banking situation shows lit tie improvement and the scarcity of coin for ordinary trading is working hardships on retailers, particularly. and business men generally.

TORONTO, Jan. 1.—A piece of election strategy which Is believed to he without precedent became known today when local officials of the Dominion Alliance were notified that envelopes containing dollar bills were sent to voters at Arnprlor and Brace- bridge, where polling on a local option by-law Is to take place tomorrow. The effect of this money going into the possession of the voters is that any person Who has a list of those to whom money was sent can challenge their right to take the oath at I he polls. Alderman Frank Spence, of the Dominion Alliance, learned by phone that a number of electors at Arnprlor have received a letter enclosing a dollar hill in the following words: "Toronto, Jan. 1, "1914. "Dear Friend,—I am Informed that you are helping- along the good cause in your city and i trust you will get II your friends to help. We must help tiie poor, misguided victims of i level, and our reward will it. II Is often necessary to fight devil with fire, and you will know best where to help.

(Western Associated Press Special Cable.) LONDON. Tan. 4.—Tbe stock markets were cheerful on Saturday, but not brisk. Gilt-edges were checked by the impending colonial loans, but the general tone was firm. Canadian Pacific railways maintained their recovery, but trading was narrower. Grand Trunks were strong, the final December traffic statement showing a gain of $27,450, where tiie bears looked for a decrease of $125,000. Land shares and utilities did not rally. Canadian cars were three pointB down, Canadian loan scrip was firm on purchases for investment. London and Berlin operators are not at all confident as to Canadian Pacific railways and the outlook of the stock is not at all bright owing to the perennial land rush hopes. Tin- hears adduce the completion of the Canadian Northern railway trnnscoiitl- nentl line and the uncertainty as to the effeot of the opening of the PilI>- iima canal as factors to be reckoned with. Bnnkers .regret the default by Para, not so much because of its Importance as because it accentuates the difficulties of the heavy financing demands that the new year has opened. But, on tho other hand, susplclomj as to the taxation plans of the chancellor of the exchequer will check any important broadening of domestic investment. The new financing of the Balkans Is commencing. A f> per cent Greek loan for $100,000,000 is expected shortly, while negotiations are now in progress iu Paris for a Turkish loan of $110,000,000.

The cost of compulsory military training for the seventh year of the conscription system is estimated at only $0,420,000, but actually for 19.13-M the third year of the system's operation, the items will amount lo $12,- 500,000.

Quite recently. In tho house of representatives, thero was a remarkable and unprecedented demonstration for speaker after speaker arose on lioth sides of the house, urging the ministry to reduce tho military plan and avert the $00,000,000 annual defend expense.

CHANCELLOR LEADS SUICIDE CLUB (Continued from page one.) ously the matter with Canada, says tho News, the bill lies In London, where the financial stringency has hampered the credit not only of Canada but of other countries. In fact the curtailment of credit Is world-wide. The best reply Canada can give to criticisms Is to say nothing but to go on paying the interest and taking care of her obligations as they fall duj. Canada has only one thing to feur, and that is the unreasonable curtailment of her credit In London. Such p. reversion of policy would cause a calamity in any community and would enuse trouble in Canada, but it is not suggested that the bankers of London intend bringing about any drastic curtailment of Canada's credit. The reaction has set in and the demands for credit will therefore automatically be reduced. There is no need for drastic measures. Cnnada will work out her own salvation without any artificial means being necessary, Bride for Prince The Prince of Wales Is going to represent his father at the coronation of the King of thc Hellenes in Athens next May, and this has given rise to a matrimonial Idea, as thc Princess Helena, elder daughter of King Constantino, although a second cousin of tho British heir-apparent, is an eligible match.

It seems now that the prince is going to have a house of his own after all, as it is said that when he is 21 years old he will occupy^ York House, St. James Palace. The young heir to the throne will begin active connection with the army next autumn, when the 10th Hussars (the Prince's Own) return to this country. They will be quartered at Aldershot.
