London, March 6.--To avoid, it is supposed, unpleasantries with suf- fragette demonstrations, Premier As- quith has announced the cancellation of the proposed reception to mem- bers of the House of Commons next Saturday night. One report says that Premier Asquith is having a "|bard time preventing his daughter, Violet, recently returned from Can- ada, from taking the leadership of the militant suffragettes during the illness of Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst. Mrs. "General" Drummond to-day an- nounced her willingness to step aside if Miss Asquith would take the lead- ership. The latter's suffragette sym- pathies are well known. Latest Ventures. London, March 6.--The suffragettes are now promising to "stagger hu- manity" unless women get the vote. They are planning new schemes which, ns one of them said, would eclipse all previous efforts.

Wo- 'men will be brought from every part |of the United Kingdom to take part in the militant ventures. In the last 'number of the official paper issued by j the Militant League there apneared a picture of Nottingham castle des- troved by men seeking the vote. | "This." said one of the militants, | "is svopolical of what may yet oc- cur. We respect human life, but whatever their historic tradition, are in imminent buildings, fame or peril." CITY CLERK TO RESIGN. | { A. D. Shibley To Join City Invest: ment House. Montreal Witness.

Accustomed to saying all kinds. of things, they imagine they can introduce what they like into their per-| formances when they come here. What! is often the cause of trouble is the ex-| tra encore. '"This encore may not be given at the performance at which the censor is present, and when it is given' it may be filthy, but the censor does not hear of it till afterwards. In fu- ture no encores are to be given that are not heard at a previous perform- ance and passed by the censor. encores are not in the original play and must be cui out. "What should be quite clear is this, that although the censor may have passed the performance, this does not prevent ¢ citizen, hearing or seeing anything indecent, from immediately getting an 'officer to have the actor arrested."
