London; July 22.--King George, in receiving the Ulster conferees at Buck- ingham Palace, made the following "It is with feelings of satisfaction and hopelessness that 1 receive you here to-day, and I thank you for the manner in which you have | responded to my summons. It is also a mat- ter for congratulation that the speaker of the House of Commons had consented to presidf over, your meet- ings.

Causes Sensation. I'he king 8 speech has created a sen- sation among political leaders which jis hardly less than that caused by the ' convening of the conference. When the {test of the speech was communicated {to the members of parliament, last night, the lirst question of all hands was whether it had been made by the advice of the cabinet or was 'the king's own work.. No answer has as yet been given. The radicals insist that it was impossible for the minis- ters to have sanctioned the phrase. "And to-day the ery of civil war is on the lips of the most responsible and most sober-minded of my people.' They deciare that the words imply that. the unionists are "regponsible, sober-minded people," for all the talk tof civil war has come from them | The ministerial supporters are con sequently in a state of angry irrita tion, which the liberal morning pa {pers voice in an outspoken manner { The Daily Chronicle calle the speech {an amazing one, and warns the King |M'to beware of raising a great issue {which ma¢ dwarf all others.

Asquith Accepts Responsibility. London, July 22 Premier As- quith, to-day, accepted the full re- spongibility for the speech deliver- ed by the kin gyesterday, in address- ing the opening conference of the leaders, in response to questions put to him in the commons. Mr. As- quith insisted that the king acted strictly constitutionally in the en- tire proceeding. It had been sent |to him in the regular way and the king left it to the discretion of the conference as to its publicity. Picwic And Presentation, One of the most enjoyable picnics | held this season was that of the 'Y. P. A, of St. George's cathedral jou Tuesday evening at Lake Ontario { Park. The ladies of the association | provided the supper and afterwards ja beautiful parlor clock was present- ed by Thomas Hughes to Mr. and Mrs. George Cannem as a slight tok en of the esteem in which this newly married couple are held by the asso- ciation. Miss Edith Evans read the address. Many of those .present spoke of the absence of Dean Siarr, who always attended these outings and who was greatly missed. The ladies who deserve special mention for the successful way in which the picnic and supper was carried ont are Miss E. Lyons, Mrs, Walker, Miss L. Ryder, and Miss T. Ryder.

"(Crossing the Line." the features of the August The Price of Wheat. laordon Advertiser 4 For the last two or three years just about this time, conservative papers quote the price of wheat at Winnipeg and at Minneapolis with great apparent satisfaction. It is usu- ally three or four cents a bushel nigher in the former than in the jatter city. And they glibly assure ns the figures prove the value of re- stricted trade. See how the western farmer benefits by the present ar- rangement, they tell us Far bet- ter than if we had adopted any re- ciprocity schemes. But there is one { thing that they do not mention. It is that at this season of the year southern wheat is coming plentifully {to market, while northern wheat is not harvested. Wheat is flowing freely into Minneapolis, but not into Winnipeg. Consequently prices are (higher in Winnipeg than they are in Minneapolis. In a few weeks the supply will increase in the Cana. dian. markets, and prices will go down below what they are v, and what they will be then in the Unit- ed States? If there were no artifici- al restrictions in trade, the farmer would send his wheat where he could get the best price at the time, no matter on which side of the boun- dary line the market might be loca- - "Reports From Outlet.
