' The elfeet of this amendment would be to render wireless compulsory; (a) on vessels licensed to carry lifts or more people, 'including crew, plying 200 miles; (b) on vessels licensed to carry 250° or more passengers, plying more than ninety males; and (¢} on vessels carrying 500° or move, and ply: ing nore than twenty miles.

C.J. Smith, of the Richelieu and Ontano company, developed the points made by Mr. King and stated that his company always had a boat under steam at Toronto, and if the regular steamer did not arrive on time, the emergency steamér went after her. Only in one case in three years, were the passengers seriously delayed, and in that case wireless would not have heen a benefit.

Ottawa, Feb. 7.--Woodrow Wilson, president-elect of the United States, is shown hy a local incident to be somewhat of a diplomat. After his election an Ottawa lady, a member of the W.C.T.U.., wrote to him expressing regret that he was re puted to "take occasionally a litih wine for his , stomach's sake." and hoping that he would mend his ways and hecome a hright and shining light on "the good ship "Total Abstinence." She added, however, some pretty compliments, to which Prof. Wilson fastened, as will $e seen by the fol fowing reply : Mrs, --------. "Allow me to thank vou most warmly for yor kind letter of con- gratulation, I appreciate it very much, indeed. It is very dalightiul to have friends think of me in this w YS and I bope that their confidence in me will not be disappointed. Sincerely yours, (Signed) "WOODROW WILSON." But this new president of the United States did not mention the wine. 2 POOR, NOW TOO RICH Out Vancouver, Feb. 7. ~p Andrew Uar- negie's determmation fo rid himself of his burdensome wealth before he dies promises to meet with a further ob- stacle, likely to be put in his path by the Vancouver Library Board.

This wopld free the board from any obligation to maintain the present building for all time, There is also a detprooted objects ion held locally to the designation "Carnegie Library." In labor union circles" there is gy strong objection against the city Weing indebted for a ublic institution to a man whom they believe to bé opposed to organized la- bor. It is probable that a vote of the ratepayers on the proposition will be taken. > FLOWERS BLOOM IN FRANCE. ; Two Months Ahead of Time - in Northern Suburhs. {| Paris, Feb. 7.-The reversal of the season in America . this . winter also marked the weather sn' France.

Ottawa, Feb. 7.--A conservative caucus was held this morning and it was formerly decided to try and kill furtaer liberal criticism of the navy bill: It was agreed that sit- tings should be late and the rule was made that there shall never be an adjournment earlier than two »clock in the morning until the na- val resolution is disposed of. Nervousness is beginning 'on de- velop in government circles over the prospect of being forced to the coun- try. It is generally, agreed that the zovernment would find an election at the present time rather inconvenient. Many liberal speakers during" this debate have challenged the = govern- ment to go to the country. The ministers have been inclihed to re- gard these as blufis and to laugh at them. Now they are getting fright- ened. COLT KILLED YOUNG MAN. on Forehead After Buying It.

( Lack Spirit, London, Feb, 5.-- I is believed this morning that the ambassadorial conference has agreed on an effective measure -for stopping the war in the Balkans by applying financial closure to boih mations. This means that Europe will not lend one cent more money to either nation till peace is made. As Bulgaria and the allies are just as bankrupt as Turkey, and without the sinews of war, the con flict cannot be carried on, this meth- od of the great powers' interference will prevent clashes between groups of big nations wo may have specific interests in either side. Diplomat think that this means will surely bring peace shontly. In the meantime desultory fighting is going on to-day, with little effect. Troops of both sides lack spirit.

C., the commissioner who investigated the Mayflower wreck) near | Barry's Bay, in which nine lives were lost on November 12th, vesterday presented his | report to the. minister of marina. | The findings show gross negligence and infringement of the shipping act on the part of the vessel's owners, Hudson Mrothers, of Combermere, one of whom went down with the vessel. The cause of the wreck was parting of seams; due to heavy strain' from the machinery. The .timbers| were sound, but alterations on the vessel had weakenad her. | The Mavilower sailed for a whole season without a certificate, in ince of repeated warnings from M. R. Dav- is, of Kingston, inspector of hulls, who had refused a certificate because there was no qualified captain on board. Commissioner Pringle finds that Mr. Davis should have taken steps to seize and detain the vessel. Mr. Davis took the ground that this was the duty of the customs depart ment, but Mr. Pringle holds that he should have informed the custome de- riment of the gross violation of the aw. Hudson, the owner, is severely censured for sailing without a lifeboat, which had been damaged the day be- fore the accident and left behind. With the lifeboat all on board might have been saved. The crew was found to be in a.competent condition at the time of the accident. Commissioner Pringle récominends that the marine department appoint a special official to see that no' ves sel not complying with the shipping to ply in Canadian ] waters, A NOBLEMAN ACCUSED.

His identity was mot recognized till after he had heen unceremoniously hustled out of the gallery into the police trol van. To the constables he gave another name, but friends shortly af- terwards called "and identified "him. The story leaked out today, after every effort had been made to oop it quiet.

URGED THE INCREASE at OF THE SESSIONAL INDEMNITY TO $4,000, It Will Will Take Eighten Months to Prepare-a List of Grit Officials Who Have Been Dismissed Since the Borden Government Took Office. Ottawa, Feb. 7.--It was a {ery Serious and deeply interested coterie of conservative members who invad- ed Borden's office yesterday after noon. Their caucus with the leader of the government was of a most confidential character, and they give strong evidence of annoyance when questioned concerning it. In fact, trey are ready with all kinds of blan- JAMES BRYCE. ket denials to interviewers of any kind. The conference is said to have hinged on distinctly perscnal mat- ters. Since thé commencement of the year there has been a gnawing sensation getting hold of a corsider- able number of the government sup- porters that the time is opportune for a substantial increase in their sessional indemnity. Until lately the pot purred and simmered in expect- ant secrecy, and the flames which kept it going are alleged to have been adroitly fanned by Hon. Robert Rogers. The new minister of public works is not unmindful of the use- fulness of loaves and fishes, not only as applied to parliamentary fol- lowers when the exigencies of a particular situation demand it. So it is maintained that on certain recent occasions members, who showed signe of being recalcitrant on the bank act and other government measures, were given a gentle hint that if they exp favors from the administrat. on they must be amen- able to all fhe political requirements of the government, There must be compromise on both sides, and no outward sign at least of factional ghts. dn view of the "high cost of living" d under r i _govern- went, and with the of 'an election' in sight, it is understood that the deputation urged that the session. al indemnity be increased by ¥1,500, thus bringing it up to $4,000. A cor- ing increase in minigterial sal- aries would naturally accompany it, and it was considered that $11,000 minister, instead of the present $7,000, 'with a proportionate raising of the prime minister's salary, would be reasonable, Election List Lengthy. According to the admission of Pre- wnier; Borden 'in parliament vesterday, ww will take the officers of the crown some eighteen months to prepare the list of oflicials who have been dismis- sod since the present go¥®ernment took oifice some sixteen months ago. Hon, Charles Murphy secured an order of the house some weeks since for a re turn showing the full extent of the operations p | the government's heads, men, and when parliament met yester- day afternoon remewed his request for the information. Premier Borden promised to expe dite the preparation of the return. "I am informed by thé departments," said he, "that the relurn is a very voluminous one and will take about vighteen months to prepare." "So, it's as bad as that," ed Mr. Murphy. Mayor Hocken, of Toronto, is ask- ing the government to amend the im- migration regulations so as to permit the deportation of British immigrant wife Heserters.: At preseni the law on- ly permits the courts to order offend- ers of this description to send money to help to keep their deserted wives and families across the Atlantic.
