GRITS MUST FALL Sir Charles Tupper Talks on the Poli- tical Situation, HE ‘PROPHESIES VICTORY ‘The Conservative Leader Is Convinced That an Immediate Election Is Imminent—His Ressons—Ssys Hardy's Government in On- tario ls Tottering. : . Montreal, Oct. 18.—Sir Charles Tupper has returned from a visit to the maritime provinces, firmly con- vinced that the general elections are imminent. Said Sir Charles: “I judge the government by my- self, I put myself in the place which the government occupies at this moment, and 1 say that ifthe situation were mine I would go to the country at once.

She has therefore thought it right to communicate to the house that Her Majesty is, by proclamation, about to order the embodiment of the militia and to recall out the militia reserve force or such part thereof as Her Majesty may think necessary, for permanent service.” The calling out of the military and the reserves has caused widespread wonderment, Old stories of preparation against con- tinental combinations are revived and it is said the government is Glance at Ontario. You must have noticed the revulsion of feeling which has taken place in conse- quence of the disclosures of political corruption which have taken place in the province. The public stands d to d ate to the world that the British army is not a neglible quantity. The lavish display of force is intended more to check conti- nental ill will than for action in Africa. According to the latest statistics the militia number 132,493. It is presumed they will be used for permanent garrisons, permit- ting the government to send all regulars to the field. aghast at the most di meth- ods employed to defeat the con- servatives and keep the liberals in power. “I speak with knowledge—with almost absolute knowledge—when I say that the Hardy government is tottering to its fall; that if the latter meets the house the end of his gov- ernment is in sight. And I say |now. that.with the remedial ques- in our party, with wind and tide in our favor, with the people in- censed at the incapacity, if not worse, of the government, and the corrupt methods of the provincial liberals, we stand to win in Ontario by an overwhelming majority.” EFVECE ON CAPITALISTS. will Next to Bank of Montreal.

When money is placed outside the empire there is always a certain risk.” The statement was made today by E. S. Clouston, general mana- ger of the Bank of Montreal, who, having just returned from the coast, was asked if an outbreak of hostili- ties would not have the effect of at- tracting the attention of British capitalists to the mineral deposits of Canada. Mr. Clouston thought it would, and he declared that the effect of war on the money market had probably been largely dis- counted in advance. A BANK CLAIM.

Yukon Deficit, Montreal, Oct. 18.—There is an- other big claim looming up against the government in connection with the Yukon, and the nature and ex- tent of the demand will no doubt create a great deal of interest throughout the country. It will be remembered that as soon as the Klondike rush began several of the banking institutions of the country fell over each other in their frantic rush to set up branches at Dawson, and above all to secure the govern- ment account. The Canadian Bank of Commerce got it, but there is a big deficit, and now the proposition is to ask the dominion government to recoup the Canadian Bank of Commerce for the loss they have sustained. It is said, in fact, that the sum will be a hand- some one, tidn out'éfthe’ way, with harmony; 4 q § q q 4 CArP FALLS TO BURGHERS General Cronje Makes a Successful Attack . On Ramathlabama. NO NEWS OF WAR Every Precaution Taken to Prevent Leakage of Plans, KEEP IT FROM KREUCER Correspondents Will Be Bottled Until After the First Important Engagement—All Dis- pstohes. to London Papers Show Rough Handling by Military Consors. London, Oct. 18.—The censor- ship of all press dispatches is al- ready so vigorous that little news comes through. Such precaution is necessary.as Dr. Leyds, the Boer agent, is said to have arranged a system of secret dispatches whereby news of British military movements could be telegraphed back for the benefit of the ‘burghers. All dis- patches for the London press are delayed. and show signs of whole- sale excisions and rough revision. The war correspondents will proba- bly be bottled up until after a big battle. Sir Redvers Butler before his departure strongly advised the closest revision of military news; at the same time the general impr es- sion is reassuring regarding Natal. The Orange Free States inhabi- tants retired on the approach of the British fying column under White.

Wants Court to Annu] Divorce Granted Her Dead Husband. White Plains, N. Y., Oct. 18.— Betina Girard, daughter of General Ordway, whose sensational esca- pades have furnished reams of copy for the yellow journals, is again in the public eye. Her last appear- ance was as a sufferer from the morphine habit in the Bellevue hos- pital. Now counsel for her has applied to Judge Morean in the su- preme court to vacate the decree of divorce grarted her husband, Oscar Girard. The petitioner says that no papers were ever served upon her in the divorce proceedings. Oscar Girard took a theatrical com- pany to Australia in 1897, and died there on July 26, 1898. Mrs. Gir- ard believes that her husband left property interests in this country and she seeks to recover them for her boy’s benefit. Judge Marean appointed Harry Barrett of Bedford, guardian for the boy, and adjourned the case for two weeks. preliminary survey. C.P.R.

A corps of engineers to Save Crew. Seattle, Oct. 18.—The steamship | Laurada, one of the:best--known of the Alaska fleet sailing out of Seat- tle, lies a waterlogged wreck in Za- padni bay, St. George island, Alaska.: iti She left this port on September 12 fora voyage to Cape Nome with 20 passengers, a crew of 48 men, all told, and a valuable carge. From the first day out she encountered heavy weather, and on September 27 sprung a leak, The water gained on the pumps so rapidly that on the following day, with the-fires under -| her boilers almost extinguished and the stckers knee-deep in water, her master, Capt. Francis M. White, beached her to save her. Every soul on board were saved, but the cargo. and ship were abandoned. The only hope for their salvation is that the sea may remain ‘calm until help can be sent. The Laurada was an old-time steel steamship, built in England in 1864 and was valued at not less than $75,000. She was owned and operated bythe Seattle .Steamship company. Her cargo was also owned in this city. at not less than $125,000. Only a few tons of provisions so far have been saved, The news of the wreck was brought down by the revenue cutter Corwin. On her came Capt. White, Purser G. E. Corey and five of the Laurada’s crew. They with the others of the crew and the passen- gers were rescued from St. George’s island on October 3 by the Corwin and brought to Dutch ‘ Harbor, where the castaways now are. re I a It was valued Boxing Day in Ottawa.
