MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS IN BRITISH COLUMBIA CITIES HEROIC CAPTAIN TELLS OF WRECK NO REFEflENDUM ON ABOLISHING BAR Premier Says Effect Would Be To Drive Trade Into Hands of Wholesaler* fBy Dally News Leased Wire) WINNIPEG, Jan. 15.—The Manitoba legislature decided today against taking a referendum on the question of abolishing the liar in the province. The resolution came from the opposition side of the house, its sponsor being J. B, Balrd, member for Mountain, who Introduced a similar motion last year. Premier Ro-blin moved ,an amendment that It would be undesirable to change from the present position and affirming the principle of total prohibition by Wans of local option. Tile premier argued to abolish the bars would simply drive' the business Into the hands of the wholesalers. The opposition tried to have the premier's amendment ruled out of order, but the speaker refused to rule in their favor and his decision was upheld on a straight party vote, 23 to 12. The amendment was afterwards carried by a similar vote. The Liberal leader, T. C. Norris, today Introduced a resolution asking the Dominion government for free trnde with the United States In agricultural Implements. The debate was jot) red. PROTEST AGAINST EMBARGO ST. JOHN, N. R, Jnn.' IB.—At meeting of the council' of the St. John board of trade today a resolution-was adopted stating that the government of the. United States has unjustly placed an embargo upon, the Importation of Canadian potatoes and that the Canadian government should be re* , quested to institute an embargo, upon the Importation into Canada/ of American potatoes to protect the Canadian grower. (Western Associated Press Special Cattle.) .LONDON, Jan. 15.—The Christmas and New Year's holiday season having passed Into, the limbo of things that were, the politicians have , resumed their 'beatings of the party .tomtoms and drums, with the prospect that before parliament renasembtes in the second week of February, tbe public will have become so surfeited with politics that t'hey will pay little ntten tion to ,the big events which nre on the parliamentary program, The pre-sesslonal oratory Is now in full swing, the lending politicians of all parties being busy working off their heavy public programs prior to* their more or less compulsory attendance at Westminster when tbe session opens. Bonar Law, In an Important, speech on the Ulster situation, declared that the now famous conversations over the Irish question had" been futile and there was no hope that they would end otherwise. On the other hand, Lord Haldnne, the lord chancellor, speaking In London, hinted that "conversations" were proceeding toward a definite settlement. The Morning Post, Unionist, says editorially thnt It believes "the grave and measured speech of Bonar Law must force the most reckless partisan to realize the danger of the present position* "The Unionists have been ready to make. , grt-ji. t,: • '..'..■es, but disaster seems inevitable.' * The Graphic expresses thi? hope that the Unionists will formally demand a referendum under the Irish question in ithe., belief that the verdict -would he favorable to the Unionists "and thus lift a great nightmare from tbe nation." The Dally Chronicle (Liberal) ferning to Mr. Law's speech, says that after reading such a speech, 'the first necessary thing is to put one's head under r a cold water-tap, a course which'it recommends to the Unionist leader, pointing out that Mr. Law and his colleagues are placing themselves in a position from which they cannot extricate themselves with ease. In its opinion, "the oratorical shillness of Bonar Law is equivalent to a child shouting In the dark in order to keep up "its courage._ It is mere dare- devilry." The News (Liberal) draws the^ob- vious parallel between South Africa and Ulster and quotes Unionist articles to show thut while it is a terrible thing to contemplate the forcible repression of a possbble Ulster rebellion It is n matter for positive triumph and rejoicing when strikers who in South Africa have broken tho law are suppressed with the full force of .the army's strength. King's Bachelor Dinners King George has decided to follow the example of his father and give. "bachelor dinners" at Buckingham palace on Saturday nights during the season. The Queen has, however, resolved not to give another private dance ns last year's event of thnt -character aroused terrible jealousy among those who were not Invited. The Duke of Atholl will have n jubilee us head of his house tomorrow and there will be a series of great festivities, the huge estates being Illuminated with bonfires, while tliere will be dances ami dinner galore far the tenantry. -. . Lord YVfldray has provided Mathew Tate, the pitman poet, with a house. Tate worked for 113 years in coal mines. Irish Question The first meeting of the campaign of purty leaders to, settle the Irish question by consent will be- held at Box. Hill tomorrow under the presidency of Viscount Hythe. Speakers from the local party organizations nnd other notables will be present, but the official Liberals are giving the meeting the cold shoulder and the gathering will likely resolve Itself Into antagonistic demonstration. Leader's Speech ' Andrew Bonar Law, leader of the opposition In the commons, announced definitely during the course of a speech at Bristol tonight that the conversations hetween the party leaders over home rule has been so,fur without result. Nothing, he said, was to he gained by cherishing illusions nnd he grieved to say''that so far ns he wus able.to judge there could be no result. He wns convinced that the govern- ment'enrnestly desired a peaceful solution of the Irish question, but the conditions on I which the government held office apparently made it impossible for it to take the only step under "Which a solution wns conceivable. If'the government could make tbe Unionists -any proposals which would avert the prospect of a civil strife in Ulster, the Unionists would be ready to consider' them with every desire to reach a peaceful settlement. Passengers -and Crew Spend- ■ Two Nights of Hardship and Privation' on-Ice*Encased Cobequid (By Dally News Leased Wlre.> ST. JOHN, N. B., Jan. 15.—A tnle Of, disaster at sea, of shipwreck, ol' peril, of death, and or almost overwhelming hardships, lightened only by the courage and constancy of those around him, Is told by Capt. John Howson, R.N., master of the Royal Mail Steam Packet company's steamer Cobequid, which wns wrecked on Tuesday morning off Trinity ledges on the Nova Scotlan shore. Capt. Howson'a story is only incomplete In that it fails to mention what others of the crew relate, the coolnesB and courage of the captain in the race of Impending death and his own gallant efforts jon behalf of the lives under his care. Capt, Howson with three of his officers and seven of his crew arrived on board the Canadian steamer Lans- downe, which docked at West St. John. ■When the steamer pulled Into port It was greeted hy the hoarse whistles of the craft in the harbor, which took this means of announcing the welcome to shipwrecked mariners aud passengers. A crowd of about 200 were assembled on the wharf to witness the arrival of the men who hnd suffered terrible hardships and whose escape from death was regarded as miraculous.

The speech from the throne was as follows: Honorable Gcitthmien of the Senate, Gentlemen of the House of Commons: I take this public opportunity of expressing to yon all my deepest of gratitude for the comfort ami support that were afforded us at the time of the serious illness of the Duchess of. Counaught by the numerous messages of sympathy which were received from Canada and by the knowledge that the hearts of so many friends were with us during our dark days. I cannot regard that my enforced absence made it impossible for me to fully exercise the duties of my high office during a considerable portion of last year, It gives me great pleasure to be able to congratulate yon upon the remarkable expansion of Canada's trade with other countries In tbe past fiscal year, during which our total trade far exceeded that of any preceding year. The bountiful crops with which the Dominion hns fortunately been blessed during the past season have been harvested under unusually favorable conditions, which have enabled ti.e transportation companies to make lull use of all the facilities they had. Thus the difficulties which sometimes arose In former years have not heen manifest and an unusually large proportion of the crops have been conveyed to the sea before the close of the season of inland navigation. Canada has heen favored by a long series of prosperous years, and although at the present moment business Is slightly restricted by the financial Btrlngenoy which prevails through, out the world. I feel convinced that this condition will be merely temporary aud that the boundless resources of this Dominion, ■which are so fully and universally known and recognized, give us the fullest assurance of continued material prosperity and progress.

Malone, a pioneer resident of the city, was yesterday elected mayor of Nelson for the year 1914, defeating lames O'Shea, a well-known lawyer, after a unlet but closely contested election. Of Mayor-elect Malone's ticket A. S. Horswill in the east ward was elected and Aid. John Bell In the west wind was returned hy the people for a second term. Alex. Leith and Dr. W. B.

In the west ward, and John Notman, labor candidate in the east ward, wet'R defeated. Much Betting. That, neither .Mayor-elect Malone nor Mr. O'Shea would have a very large majority was pretty generally conceded, although bets on tit) and on lflo majority for Mr. Malone are said to have been made. Throughout the day both sides appeared confident of victory and there was much betting on the result. Most of the money put up was at evens, but It. is said that several hundred dollars were placed on Mr, .Malone at two to one during the morning. Vote Unusually Large. A total vote of 088, one of the largest iu the history of the city, was polled. The vote In 1913 was %'t. There were 14 spoilt ballots for mayor. 45 for school trustees and 14 for aldermen. Several electors voted for three school trustees and several left their ballot papers blank. In both wards there was probably less "straight ticket" voting for alder, men than Is usual In Nelson, where organization is a strong feature of municipal elections. Many ballots were marked lu favor of one member of the Malone ticket, one member of the O'Shea ticket and a labor candidate. Ballot papers marked in favor of only two candidates, a Malone man and an O'Shea man, or a Malone or O'Shea man and a labor candidate were not uncommon. It was suggested that the fact that, the two mayoralty tickets each had only two aldermanic candidates In each ward gave some electors the (hi* presstou that only two could be voted for Instead of three. Thanks Supporters. -No marked excitement was displayed during the day. but very little business was done in the city. In the evening after the result became known an orderly celebration occurred and the city hand followed Its custom of rendering selections on the main streets and In front of the victorious mayoralty ennd idute's committee rooms.

The elections are over. As a result of one of the cleanest and most good- natured campaigns in the history of the city Mr. J. J. Malone was elected mayor. As to. whether the electors believed ' .that Mr. Malone or Mr. O'Shea would make the best mayor during the coming year there was room for argument until the Inst vote was polled last evening. The majority' of the voters declared In favor of Mr. Malone and he is today mayor and as such entitled to the assistance of every resident of the city In his efforts to advance Nelson's Interests. Mr. Malone carries to his newdiitlos a practical mind and a desire above all things to be fair. A resident of Nelson from Its inception and heavily Interested here, he undoubtedly has the city's Interests at heart, Apart from bis fitness for the position Mr. Malone enjoys an unusual measure of popularity throughout the city, which stood him in good stead yesterday. To be defeated by Mr. Malone is no disgrace to Mr. O'Shea, who is to he complimented on the excellent showing he made, especially in view or the tact that he entered the contest ( practically at the last minute and then only at the earneBt solicitation of IiIb friends, Of the new board of aldermen it Is not necessary to say much. Their work is before them, but all are men whose records give promise of an efficient year's service. With Mr. Ma lone at their head Nelson should thia year have one of the best councils In the city's history, one that will handle affairs with that care that Is bo necessary just now and still not descend to parsimoniousness. So confident is The Daily News o' • thc good sense of the new council that It does not consider it necessary to ask the new mayor and aldermen to forget whatever election differences they may have had and get together In the city's InterestB. It knows they will do this without urnlng of any- kind. But what The Daily News would respectfully urge Is that the people of Nelson give the new council all the B'upport they can in whatever they may undertake for tbe city's advancement. In other words, let all get together to make Nelson in 1914 a better city than ever. All can do something toward thia end. Surely no one will hold back. STERILIZED MILK. Old-fashioned people have for years gone on claiming that the modern habit of sterilizing everything that could he sterilized waB a mistake, says the Montreal Daily Mall. And recent* ly the news despatches have contained strong evidence in support of some at least of their claims. It seems that as a result of a series of investigations extending over several years, at the Infants' hospital, London, sterilized milk Ib found to be even dangerous for children who are fed on it too exclusively. It seems that such children are found to be predisposed to tubercular affections. Children fed from birth on sterilized milk are said to be weak and Ill-nourished. Experiments with kittens fed on the same, diet resulted in their dying in a couple of weeks. Of course, it would be absurd to My to the other extreme and regard the use of all germicide processes as deleterious to health. At the same time, it is Interesting and instructive to see how the more advanced investigations of modern medical Bcience bring the investigators back little by little to somewhat primitive notionB. Sterilzatlon has been rather overdone. Too much reliance has been placed on chemical processes for huntipg out and killing microbes, and too little on the processes of nature. Good, clean, natural food, and plenty of freah air and sunshine will do more to make chjl- dren well and strong and keep them eo than all'the sterilizers and antiseptics on earth. These things are mighty useful ln their proper place, but they have beeu overworked in the case of grown-ups as well as children. We are all obseBsed with microbes. We have germ-contamination on the mind. A little more attention to old-fashioned methods of sane and healthy living—and more air and exercise and less worry and nervous strain—would do more for the health and liapplneBs of the race than all the discoveries of all the bacterlologlBta. And the bacterlologlats themselves seem to be working around to the same view. • ■-• EDITORIAL NOTES <f *?> . «> Now all together for Nelson's advancement.

Tbe proprietor was Anthony Henry Holland, who opened its columns "to hold animadversion on the public affairs of the colony, and freely admitted original compositions." In consequence, he got into trouble, and was fined and Imprisoned, but his paper became both popular and Influential. He was thc namesake of a certain Anthony Henry who had beeu King's printer at Halifax for 40 yearB, and in 176!) had started an earlier, somewhat short-lived newspaper, "the Nova Scotia Chronicle and Weekly Gazette." In this office, it is believed, Holland learned his trade of printing. He was an extraordinarily energetic man, often rowing or sailing out for miles to meet expected vessels, and obtain first news for the Recorder. He established u paper mill some miles from Halifax, where he made his own paper. He frequently entertained the naval officers who came to Halifax, and was prominent on all festive occasions. He died from the effects of an accident at the comparatively early age of "15, and was interred in the burying ground of the little "old Dutch church." •i - -*»£w::~'*) *•• •% \*- *■ • <• ■$$■* ■ • --••• $>*■•&&#■ • » ■?■ THE WEATHER <?> !> <*}. •■^■-■■:'rt-'-^--'-^-M^H .-"S'/1'--.^-<'--^--* The "weather was mllcl yesterday throughout.the western provinces and light snowfalls have occurred in Manitoba and Saskatchewan.

Many of the resultant effects nre violently realistic. The picture was made on the Universal Pacific Coast ranch and Is one of a serieB which will be released from llmo to time. At this ranch there has been assembled the greatest and most extensive private collection of wild animals to be found either in Europe or America.

"the Acadian Recorder," made its bow » <3 » AT THE THEATRES 4 To refute an old adage, there will be seen at the opera bouse next Monday what promises to be the only new thing under tbe sun, un Adamlcss musical show. The idea of tho conceit originated In the brain uf Miss Grace M, Russell, herself a pioneer In tho art of entertaining. She has collected a bevy of pretty, fresh, sweet, young girls to whom she hns imparted her ideas consummating in a "clever show which she is pleased to style the Grace M. Russell Merry Minstrel Maids. The program which they will offer on the occasion of their first appearance here, presents a sparkling array of novelties which runs tbe gamut from an all-girl minstrel first part, presided over by Miss Russell In the capacity of interlocutor, to the presentation of the very newest of classic- dances interspersed with several pretty musical oddities introducing the entire f.-ompafiy of girls. The Minstrel. Maids will Indeed mark an Innovation In 'the annals of local theatrics for we are assured that they, on the occasion of their visit, will como as the one rfedt apurktlng innovation of the current season. At the Btarland a strong and interesting program Is offered. Miss Stiep- urd, tbe populur singer, will sing "So What's the Use" und "When the Daisies Bloom." Another big annual feature will be the Attraction. Of th various animal pictures that haVe been 1-i'fduced to the present time ,"ln the Wilds of Africa" Is beyond the ven tjre oE a doubt, the most unique and sUrlllng.

Determined to Maintain Sixty Per Cent Superiority— Minister! Declare Poliey Unchsngad (Canadian Associated Press Cable.) LONDON, Jan, 16.—Two declarations of the most explicit kind were made last night by Lord Hahlane and Postmaster-General Samuel regarding the immediate policy of the Liberal government on the navy. Speaking at Hoxton, the lord chancellor made one fact quite clear, namely, that thc Liberal party does not propose to go back on the policy which has been de- cleared publicly In parliament and has no Intention of weakening thc navy by departing from those standards. "I should be thankful," Lord Hul- dane said, "to see the time close at hand when all nations are going to agree to reduce their armaments and relieve us of the monstrous burden which we have to keep up for defence, but that can only be done cooperatively. Experience shows that if In a heroic moment one country lays down Its armaments before the others do there is a reaction and the bill It would have to pay would be much larger than if it had kept up to the current standard,'1 "The Liberal party," he went on to say, "is against anything which will put the defences of this country In an unduly weak position. So far from having done that, they have devoted, during the last eight years, more scientific study to the subject of defences than has been devoted to It for a very long time. "We have ilncreaaed and strengthened the navy, and the reason of that Is that other powers are building up and increasing their navies with great rapidity. We have organized the navy and as a result of the prolonged inquiries we have the satisfaction of knowing that' we have provided amply sufficient to secure the safety of this country and we have laid down stan dards from which there ought to be no rash departure." Right Hon. Herbert Samuel, reply ing to the cry that ls being raised for a reduction of armaments, declared the Liberal ■government had always been and Is today willing to come to an agreement jo limit this lamentable expenditure, but hitherto our declarations to thut effect have met with no reBponBe. ** "It takes two to make an agree ment, and, failing such agreement, our policy Is that we must maintain our battleships and armored cruisers su pcriorlty above the next strongest naval power of 60 per cent, ln view of the world-wide responsibility which rests upon the imperial government nothing less is adequate and that margin of 60 per cent, It Is held, gives us sufficient margin for our security. "That standard has been endorsed by parliament and it lias been ceptcd by the spokesmen of Germany as a not unreasonable one for us to maintain, and to thut standard I, for one, adhere." LEATHER WITHSTOOD PRESSURE WHEN METALS FAILED A certain mine decided t0 change it- two-stagy , tumping system tQ a single lift "to surface. The head was terrific about 11,200 feet.

Flynn weighed 188 pounds nnd Drls- eolj- 26 pounds heavier, HEROIC CAPTAIN TEI,JLS_0F WRECK (Continued, from page one.) cordlngly avoided such details. In a frank and manly manner he said: "I was on the bridge at the time the ship struck and if anyone is to blame it Is myself." Continuing, he said: "The weather was very thick, the very heavy snowfall making it impossible to see much further than the steamer's bows. This condition arose after we had passed Seal island and when it was too late to turn back and head for the open sea." Buoy Not Alight. In addition to the difficulty caused by tho heavy seas and the blinding snow storm, Ci.pt. Howson referred to the fact that the Trinity ledges light buoy was not alight and wns a mile from- Its proper position. "This was one mark we were depending upon." ho said, "and we did hot.see it at all.. We were tnklng soundings every half hour, but the approach to the ledges Is in deep water and, while one sound- In* showed plenty of depth, the next was being made just as the steamer struck. "The shock when the vfessel went on thft ledges wns not great, hpt It was sufficient to hold <her hard and fast ind to pierce the bottom. It was then nlmost low tide and as the water rose tho holds were flooded nnd it wns necessary to draw the fires under the boilers to prevent the possibility of an exnlosion; "Thfl poweY of the dynamo -which onerates the wireless apparatus wn" fiit off. hut In tho meantime the S.O.S. signal had been sent out. with Information regarding our location, which we then believed to he on Brier Island, r may;remnrk that It was 25 minute? before we received any answer to our calif* from the Snble Island wlreles* stnflon, a'matter for which it Is hard to find a renson. Fear of Death, "As-'the water crept up In the bull It became accessary to vacate the lower decks and finally the only part of tho steamer which was habitable was my own cabin and the ladies' boudoir, which adjoins it. Even then we were in fear of instant death. The danger point wns the wooden door, as the deck in front of it had been forced up by the heavy seas and there wns danger that the door would be battered down at any minute. If tills occurred the whole deck-house would inevitably have beep washed overboard. "By nlmost a miracle of good fortune the remains of tho emergency boat, which had been broken in two, was washed up on the deck and frozen solid in such a position that It actod as a hroakwater and saved the door from destruction. "All thnt day wo waited for possible salvation, but another night closed In without any sign from the outside world. In the meantime the only provisions we had consisted of dry -biscuit and tiie breakers of water taken from thei-llfebofttsi ..The.'.-water was frozen and had to be melted before we could uso it. Of course, all heat was cut off when the furnaces were drawn, and the only fire we had was In an Iron bucket, In the bottom of which holes had been punched t0 ere- ate a draft. The fuel consisted of oak paneling from the smoking room and somo of the furniture was broken up for firewood. With the biscuits, molted Ice and some of the appollnaris water We managed to make out. ■ "The heavy seas breaking over the ship had dislodged one of the aerials and the heartbreaking work with the Ice-coated wires made it possible to use the wires only at low tide, when the sending key was above water.-- Stew Overlooked, At low water we managed to get into the stores, and got some more food, (Including some coffee Uoans, which we pounded up and made coffee. The chef finally secured some meat and attempted to make some hot. stew, but only realized tits ambition as the rescue vessels approached, and In the excitement following the stew was overlooked. When we first struck all the boats on the weather side wero smashed, but I got the boats on the lee Bide clear and swung them out on the davits ready for use. It was good that we did, for had we postponed this work until later the boats would have been frozen fast in the mass of solid Ice and we would not have been able to get them clear. As It was, it took two or three hours' hard work to get them, Insisted on Staying. When the Westport was sighted we cleared the boats and filled the first with women and passengers and some of the crew and sent them off. The other three boats followed rapidly. There might have been room for more In the boats, but tbe sea was still running high and I did not think it advisable to load them too heavily. The other officers and the remainder of the crew could have gone if they wished, but those who remained' did so on their own volition and in some cases, insisted upon staying. "After tho boats got away one of tho members of the crew, who had secured some pork from the storeroom, wading to his armpits in water to get-it, fired It and wo had pork ohops, which were eaten with great relish, as this was the first hot food we had had since the wreck occurred. The first boat got away about ^o'clock and it was bo dark when the last one SHIWHi CURES COUGHS AC01DS New Grand Hotel will be open after January 18. BLOMBERQ & MAGLIO, Props.

Speaking of the conduct of tbe passengers and crew, the captain said: "Everyone acted splendidly. The passengers, after they had been reassured, were calm and gave no trouble and the officers and white members of tbe crew did more than could he expected of them. I must speak particularly of the conduct of Dr. Lister, who helped greatly with the passengers, and of the stewardess, Miss Jones, whose behavior was heroic. She was constantly on thc alert to help, and she saved my fingers from being frozen more than once by rubbing them when they had become numb. "For a day and a half more than 1.00 people were cooped up in the crowded quarters of two cabins, with no heat except from tho rude brazier, and no lights except from a few candles, which wo had to husband care fully to make them lust us. "Under the circumstances r can not speak too highly of the way In which everybody acted. Tho colored members of the crew, numbed by the cold to which they were not accustomed, and frightened by the disaster, were rendered almost helpless, hut thev remained passive and Sftve no trouble. Spent Terrible Night. "The first night was terrible, the next not so bad, and the third night, with only a handful of us left, was quite all right. The government steamer Lanstlownc, which had arrived on,Wednesday afternoon as the smaller Bteamers were taking off the four boatloads, stood by us all night and in the morning sent a boat for tho rest of us. After we got on board they did everything they could to make us comfortable and brought us to St. John, and here we are. "I can not say too much of tho gallant conduct of thc captains of the Westport and the John h. Cann, and Capt. Burns of tbe Lansdowne. They behaved like bricks ail the way through. Both Feet Frozen. "And of the men who remained with me on the steamer during the last night 1 can only say that finer men were never made. They wore Dr. Lister, the ship's surgeon, who was an Invaluable aid; H. H. Galdwin, the fifth engineer, always bright and cheerful; E, T. Gladwin, the junior wireless officer, who rendered most valuable assistance, the boatswain, E. W. Grlnter, who had been through three shipwrecks; Mis' boatswain's mate, Peter Pollark, who could not have been a better man In such hn emergency; Haupt, the chef, who provided food for us all; Kralamond, the only foreigner in tho crow who re- malued;.Caw, the storekeeper; Prack- nell, "bath and boots-"; Warner jr., the only colored man who remained; Fisher, the linen steward, and his attendant, Guthrie, third deck steward, and Vacey, tb6 head waiter, who had both feet frozen nnd who had to go to 'the hospital on our arrival here. liven In such a serious situation there were some ludicrous incidents and we could not help but smile at the appearance of some of the boys who, when given permission to take what dry clothes of mine they .could find, decked themselves out in my uniforms, frock coats and caps. The last to leave showed, groat consideration in saving what they could of ray offects and Pracknell even brought off my golf sticks and naval sword." Capt. Howson said that he and the others who had boon brought to St. John expected to leave by the noon train tomorrow for Halifax, whore he would finish the ship's business and where a marine inquiry might be held, after which he hoped to get away to his home hi England, GLOOM REPLACED BY OPTIMISM Prsmicr Whitney Takes Turn for Better—Doctor Now Hopeful—Rest Protfes Beneficial.

(Western Associated Press Special Cable.) LONDON, Jan. 15.—The stock markets were-buoyant after hesitancy. The news that the South African- strike was collapsing frightened the hears, owing to their oversold condition, and the repurchases were swelled by the fact that a French financial Institution is reported to be heavily involved on the short side. The fortnightly settlement entered smoothly. Consols were harder at 71 13-16, reflecting the very strong hank return, which shows that the Bank of England reserve was harder by £16,760,- 315 on. the week. The figures-provoked the query why ther© was not a further reduction in the hank rate, but the French gold hunger, despite the gold exports from New York, is given as the probable explanation. The new scrips are still rising. American rails were strong on the favorable forecasts of the forthcoming message to congress, and Canadians were sympathized with, though they were not prominent in the day's dealings. Canadian Pacific railway closed at 214%, after having been quoted- at 215%. Grand Trunk railway was narrowly dealt in and was harder, the market fearing a bad traffic return tomorrow. Hudson Bay was supported and closed at 9 5-8. South American traction was bid up fractiqnally. The Brazilian traction dividend of 1% per cent was helpful. Dominion Steel advanced 1, but Canadian Car was dull. The New York Central has placed yearly bills, here at 5 1-8 per cent. Canadian1.inquiries for capital are again increasing. Canadian -bankers here report that many industrial commissions have been arranged temporarily at home instead of being brought to London,' a policy which meets with the approval of financiers in Loudon. The bank return depressed the money market. Kates for three month bills fell to 3 5-8, while call money was ample at 2%, despite the calls for the payment of $30,000,000 In dividends and heavy payment of internal taxes.

Steady absorption of high grade stocks which havo no speculative following gave an indication of Ihe quickened Investment demand. This same tendency iva3 visible in the bond market, in which dealings expanded and prices .rose. Easy money rates, the scarcity of stocks, the broadening investment de? mand, and a more hopeful view of the outlook for 'business, were other Influences which contributed to thc day's movement: Dealings in bonds increased largely, .V number of issues which usir'ly are dormant, were dealt In at substantial advances over previous q notations.

M. Calllaux proposed to meet the deficit of $153,800,000 in thc 1914 budget so-far as possible without resorting to the loan of a Bum greater than $33,- 600,000, tho loan to be of the short term variety. ! The extraordinary expenditure for tho army, $282,000,000, and that for the navy of $84,000,000, will he met by four or five rapidly redeemable bonds to bo Issued separately during 1914 and 1915, thus avoiding the over-burdening of tho money market with a single issue. M. Calllaux counts on obtaining $38,- 000,000 from the proposed graduated tax on capital, $30,000,000 from thi income tax, and $10,000.00 to $20,000. 000 from new taxation, notably that on petrol.

Buchanan or Kaslo, WAY TO PREVENT BEING BURIED ALIVE Ever since man began to realize what death means he has been haunted more or less by fear of the possibility that he way he placed In Mb coffin and buried while there Ib still life in his body. In spite of all the care of physicians and undertakers, It seems likely that cases of premature burial do occur even now, nnd in England there Is a society devoted to tbe work of preventing Buck unfortunate .mistakes. Dr. Iciird of Marseilles, France, announces that there Is no longer any necessity for dreading this horror, because he has discovered a remarkable new method of testing absolutely whether nn apparently dead person Is really dead. The new method hnB been made the subject of many experiments In France, and has proved thoroughly successful. Dr. (card's method Is based on the fact that while a spark of life remains In the body there is some motion of the blood in the veins nnd arteries, even though it be too slight to be detected in the usual way. In order to prove whether a supposed corpse is really n corpse or only in a state of suspended animation, a small quantity of fluorescein, nn entirely harmless but very violent coloring matter is injected into the body. If there be the slightest motion of the blood, the fluorescein will be carried into the circulation, quickly stain every Inch of the body a vivid golden yellow and turn the eyeB a deep emerald green. If, on the other hand, the person la really dead and there Ib no movement of the blood, the coloring matter will not be dispersed and tho skin and eyes will show no change In color, So rapid is the action of fluorescein that If there Is any flow of blood It will produce its effect on the body In less than 30 minutes. Easy Way to Remove Objectionable Hairs (Beauty Culture) Progressive beauty specialists nre rapidly adopting the new, painless method for removing superfluous hairs and the remilt Is that the costly and painful electric needle treatment la fast being discarded. The treatment is Inexpensive and very simple. Just make a paste with a little of the powdered delatone and water and apply to hnlry surface, After two or three minutes rub off and with It comes every trace of hair. Washlne- leaves tho skin firm and spotless. Be sure, however, that you got the reaJ delatone. DOMINION HOUSE , NOW IN SESSION (Continued tram warn onej America act.and a bill wWlie introduced for that purpose. A bill consolidating the Railway act and various amendments, as well aa bills referring, to the civil service and to trust and loan companies will be submitted for yohr consideration. Several other bills will be submitted, ln- cludjing measures -providing for Increased representation of the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia in the senate. The volume of immigration during the present fiscnlyear promises to be greater than that of any previous years. It has come in greatest from the British isles nnd from the United States, but fl large amount of desirable citi*sens have also reached our shores from other countries. You will be pleased to learn that satisfactory arrangements have been made with the various provinces under the Agricultural Aid act, as passed at the last session. My advisers are convinced that the co-operation between the Dominion and the provinces which is thus afforded will accomplish excellent results in assuring better agricultural instruction,, and needful improvement of existing methods of agriculture. The work Qn the National Transconthietal railway has been advanced in the past year and in the construction of the HudBon Bay railway and the provision of terminals every possible progress has been made in bringing that important project nearer to completion. In connection with the highly important subject of transportation of our products, the provision of adequate terminal facilities at our great northern ports has received and is receiving the attention of my advisers. You have doubtless learned with satisfaction that the new government terminal elevator at Port Arthur Is completed and it has been in operation since October last. In conjunction with this a system of interior terminal elevators has been begun which will provide largely increased facilities for the farmers of the great grain producing provinces. The International conference on safety of life at sea, which hns heen in session in London for several weeks, has had under consideration questions of the highest importance and it is hoped that its deliberations may result in more effective measures for assuring the safety of the passengers nnd crews of ocean-going steamships. Representatives of Canada were appointed by order-in-council and have been in attendance at all sessions of the conference. Gentlemen'" of the House of Commons, the accounts for the last fiscal year will bo laid before you. You will be pleased to know that the revenue has been ample to cover both ordinary and capital expenditure. ThD estimates for the fiscal year will be submitted at an early date. They have been prepared with due regard to thenecessary development of tho resources of the Dominion, coupled with careful attention to economical conditions. Honorable Gentlemen of the Senate, Gentlemen of the House of Commons, in inviting your careful scrutiny of the subjects t0 which I have called your attention, I pray that the blesB ing of Divine Providence may attend your deliberations. Divorce Reform The growing number (,f divorces in Canada and the fact that there are <i0 .ipplicatioiis already before parliament this session haa forced on the attention of parliament the attention of divorce reform. W. B. Northrup. of Mast Hastings, has already "-hen no. tice at a resolution on the subject. if:itlnff that the problem be taken Into immediate consideration with a view to changes in the law, It rends: "That in the opinion of this ho'u; the procedure undo,, which divorces ota granted ,bv parliament, and the consequent unreasonable expense hereof are so unsatisfactory, beside belr— prohibitive to the great majority ji the people of Canada, that the same mould be taken Into immediate con- •dderalion by the government with a view t0 a leform of the present sys- .em. Senators for West "Mr. Borden gave notice of a resolution providing for two additional fenators, each frotr^ Manitoba, Alberts Saskatchewan and three from British Columbia, Tho Liberal members have put close t0 100 nnesilons op the order paper, the subjects ram-ring from oriental immigration to the dismissal of a postmaster ,ln the Magdalen Islands.

BOX SOUTH AFRICAN STRIKE CRUMBLING Johannesburg Leaders Arrested—Reported that Railwaymen Are Returning to Work (Bv Dailv News Leased Wire) CAPETOWN.- South Africa. Jan. 15, —The strike appears to he crumbling up before the energetic application of martini law. The Labor party hen was dumbfounded at the news of Unarrest of the .lolm tines burg leaders and it Is reported there has heen i rush of men to resume work. The trades federation held a meeting at a late hour tbnjght and although no decision was announced. It Is understood that the Idea of culling n general strike in Cape Colony has been abandoned. At the present time the general strike order has reference only to the Orange Tree State and the Transvaal. A prominent Labor member of parliament tonight admitted that labor had received a crushing blow. The early collapse of the miners' strike Is expected. Hundreds of striking miners 'have been arrested at Ben- onl, and similar measures will he taken elsewhere. The railway men are streaming back lo work at many places. London Puzzled (Western Associated .Press Special Caihle.) LONDON, .Tan. 111.—Tho newspapers this morning are grappling with the problem or whether the South African strike has been suppressed or not. Tho apparent breakdown of the strike is hailed with glee hy''leader writers on the Unionist press, the Standard, Coh- servatlvc, describing the situation as a triumph for law and order. The Graphic says that the dramatically sudden ending of rhe strike has 'ed South Africa frim an --Incalculable disaster, while the Mi,rning Post refers to t'he •• inglorious, nfoodless collapse of the revolution." On the other hand, th? Citizen, the Labor organ, paints the following pic- tnte: "Thia kind of thing, the employment of artillery, will be understood and appreciated when done by a zealous stage manager anxious to improve a. thrilling, spectacular play, but when resorted to by an ostensibly responsible government of a British dominion, the action surely means that authorities with unreasoning tyranny have Ibeen developing Into lunacy so hopeless that one can only 'hope that it will prove self-destructive. Yesterday a melodramatic madness was responsible for an Inspiring demonstration of the loftiness of the spirit of the leaders, whose surrender was made without rioting or attempt at rescue." ■Editorially, the Citizen attempts to change tho battleground .urging organized labor tn Great Britain to Immediately and unanimously protest vigorously against the happenings In South Africa as a "disgrace to the flag," the home government hnvlng entered lnlo a monstrous conspiracy with the union government tn crush out traces unrest and to deprive the working people of their freedom to strike ngnlnst oppression. Labor Republic The Dally Express says that the necessity for the display of force by tho South African government has heen emphasized' by the discovery of -complete plunB for the establishment of n South African laibor republic. The strike was planned for April, but the plans of the syndicalists were foiled by the premature strike -of the railway men. Tha Johannesburg correspondent of the Express claims majesterlal authority for the statement that the government discovered documents revealing the whole plans.
