In speaking to his resolution the member from Algoma laid charges against the minister of finance, Hon, Mr. Fielding, for accepting a gift of $120,000 a year ago. Me.

"I was told last year when I asked for the list of donors by Bir Wilirid Laurier, that 1 wanted too mudh information. Further, that 1 should not doubt the honesty and integrity finance accepting with the flimsy of the minister, as there was nothing too ood for Mr. Fielding." (Liberal cheers.) Mr. Boyes claimed that the prime minister sidetracked the information, and ke did not deal fairly with Parlia- ment of the country in withholding the names of the men who contribu- ted. HH Fime and again during the course of his . remarks, Mr. Boyce nsked the prime minister for an answer, but Nir Willvid did not see fit to make any reply. He quoted numerond headlines from difierent newspapers such as "yielding got stolen money," and "(Convicted Bank Manager Travers contributed to Fielding fund," and is the face of (his, sorely the prime min jster should publish the list of names and relieve Mr. Fielding of the sus ing over his head. picion now' hangi Mr. Boyee declared that the acceptance of the gift was a brazen defiance to the parliamentary constitution of Canada. elding, on rising to re a rousing cheg from It is quite apparent that the minister keenly felt the un- king, without he. left the Hon.

This prov: ed a great disappointment to the many prominent spectators who had secured admittance through influence with the high judiciary. Hon. Winston Churchill was permitted entrance after considerable delay. The jury was selected from the court officials. The king's lawyers told of the loss of esteem by the reports de- veloped among the king's subjects, and mentioned Myling' admissions that he wrote the articles in question. Admiral Sir Michael Seymour, the first witness, said he had two daugh- ters, one of whom married Capt. Na- pier, and the other, now deceased, never married. He did not know that she ever had seen the Fig: Mrs. Mary Grace Napier, older daughter of Admiral Seymour, swore that no such marriage as the Libera- tor mentioned had otcwrred. She was go sure her deceased sister had made nn such alliance with the king. - With otlier members of the Seymour family and the production of marri- age registers, the prosecution closed its case, Mylius rested his defence on vapers which had been taken away from him.

The report decides in favor of the claimant, as was to be expected from the fact that the commiltee's presi dent, Senator Boissy d'Anglais, has always been a firm supporter of the fact that the Dauphin, son of Marie Antoinette; did not die, in the Temple prison, that another child was substi- tuted, and that the next Dauphin lived afterwards under the name of Naundorfi, whose descendants are now making the foregoing claim, ME HAS RESIGNED, Capt.

Ri- chards, instructor of sanitary chemis- try 'at 'the Massachiicits Institute of Technology, has panounced that the real cause of race suicide is the in- creased use of rich, starchy foods by women.

(ERGY GIVEN To Canada By Strong Fight She Had FOR HALF A CENTURY AGAINST AMERICAN COMMER- CIAL TYRANNY. What Sir Gilbert: Parker Says-- Unionists Anxious for Fiscal Dis- cussion Relative to Canada and the United States, London, Feb. 1~In the debate in the address from the throne in the House of Commons, which reassem- pled yesterday, the unionists are am- xious to raise a fiscal discussion, bringing up the reciprocity azreement between the United States and Can ada. There is some doubt, however, whether this will be possible at the present time, and nothing will be de- cided until Mr. Balfour returns from the continent at the end of the week. The reciprociey . agreement con- tinues to excite keen interest. Sir Gilbert Parker, the Canadian member of parliament Sor Gravesend, pub lishes a statement on this subject. After referring to the strong opposic tion of Sir John A. Macdonald, the Canadian premier, and Edward Blake, leader of the Canadian liber- als, some twenty years ago, to com- mercial union with the United States because that would mean political union, Sir Gilbert Parker said ;-- "The agreement is a desperately serious thing, and will eventually mean that the Canadians have lost their/ grip on their own imlependence. Canada's fight for two generations azainst American commercial tyranny was the source of her progress and wealth. It gave her energy, re sourcefulness and determination, .but under this agreement the United States seeks 4 new field of exploita- tion for American finance, new op- portunities for the overflow of Ameri- can energy and control of the great Dominion." | BIG NEW YORK EXPLOSION Causes Death----Buildings Shook as in Earthquake.

No enmity had existed between the two, it was purely and simply the sudden and unaccountable act of a brain crazed with bad whis- key. Flax had been in the city less than a year and the afiray took place cn the eve of his departure for home. Doctors say there is little hope of his recovery. ---------- Missionary Jumped Overboard.
