Toronto, Feb. 12.~Annie Cameron, agea thirteen, the daughter of Alexan- der Cameron, a teamster, residing on Esplanade street, was instantly killed this morning, at ten o'clock, on the esplanade, by a GTR shunting en gine. She was waiching a freight pass and waiting an opportunity to cross when the other engine came backing up, the crew not being aware of ber presence, At a meeting noon toda held at B. Watts ond A. FE. Kemp, MP, passed a resolution that if Great Bri: tain should place a tax on products similar to those being produced in Canada a preference on that taxa tion should be given to the products grown within the ampire. In the pre amhle there was a phrase drawipg at tention to the fact that Canada had shown a desire to strengthen the bonds binding the empire together by her participation in the war in South Africa, but this was struck out as ra- ther a palpable bid for trade conces- sions in return for the performance of a patriotic duty. The resolatfon will be samt to Sir * Wilirid Laurier for trupsinission to. Mr. Chamberlain at ohee, before the brought' down.

Ottawa, Feb, 12-The government in satisfied that a combination exists among the manufacturers of printing paper in Canada, and in order to bring competition has decided to re duce the duty on newsprint from twenty-five per cent. to fifteen per cent. - In Aptil last the Canadian press as- sociation represented to the govern: ment that the price of printing paper war very much higher in Canada than in the United States, and offered, if given opportunity, to prove that this advance was due to a combination or agreement among the paper manufac turers of Canada to keep up prices. a---- Are Not Satisfied. Toronto, Feb. 12.--In an interview today, H. J. Pettypiece, president of the Canadian press asso ciation, expressed dissatisiaction with the order-in council reducing the pa- per duty. The finding of the judge granted more and broader reductions. The publishers who buy news print in sheets and those using higher grades of paper would have no relief, because the reduction in duty is limited to pa- per costing two and a quarter cents or. less Further repypsentations will be made to the ramen POISON ON FALSE TEETH. -- Pennsylvania Doctor Had Narrow Escape From Death.

On a portion of the main road lead- ing across Wells Island, the snow is banked high, making it impossible" for sleighs to pass. Alongside is an open field and passage through -it being easy, drivers of sleighs began to use it. The owner, a farmer, saw a chance to make sn few shekels, and armed of authority, held up those driving over his land, and charged them ten cents toll. Most of the sleigh owners paid the sum, but one Kingstonisn objected and, according to rumor, would have got out and whipped the farmer, only that his horses would not stand. It is claimed that' the farmer has no right to charge 'such s toll, and is respousible for having road kept clear. The stages running to the cape do not pay anything for Tilicit Still Captured.

Toronto, Feb. 12.-A most unusual proceeding characterized the finish of the budget debute in the legislature last night, when the discussion came to an end without the customary closing' speeches from either Mr. Whit ney or premier Ross, Old officials state that this is the first instance of the kind in the history of provincial legislature.

After some moments of hegita- tion the speaker put the question, and on a division the amendment was lost by eleven. Jt was understood that Mr. Whitney took the position that he would not speak ii he was to be followed By hoth Mr. Stratton and Mr. Ross, 'while on the other hand it was stated that Mr. Stratton would | have concluded the debate on the gov. | ernment side. The failure of Mr, Whit nev to take part in the debate was | the occasion of much speculation and ¢omment in the corridirs,' and the |- sudden climax was a great disappoint | ment' to the crowded galleries.
