One of the Kingstonians who chanced to be in Ottawa last night and who therefore had an opportus- ity of witnessing the great national catastrophe inveived in the burning of the House of Commons, was Hugh Macpherson. When he left the Cap- itol at 10 o'clock this morning, the flames were still shooting skyward}. from portions of the Capito] build-| ° Comedy, ing. The imposing central tower had BRINGING collapsed, but the fire was then well under control, and it looked as if some of the northern portions of the buildings would be saved. Mr. Mac- pherson reached Kingston at noon, and in conversation with the Whig, related some very interesting in- cidents in connection with the calam- EVERY LINE A LAUGH EVERY DANCE A Joy 40 People -- 20 Song Hits The Original Number One (; pany.

About 8 o'clock the message was received that tho House of Commons was on fire. In. stantly everything was ' in commo- tion. Sir 8am Hughes, Minister or Militia, was at the Chateau at the time, and he-at once left for the scene of the fire. ' All Ottawa was wildly excited and the citizens turned out in thousands to view the fire. It was a magnificent spec- tacle, though a national calamity. We watched the scene for hours, and it certainly made a great impression upon one. % Some of the escapes were marvel- lously close. The Premier, Sir Rob- ert Borden, was himself somewhat injured, and had to leave the build- ing minus his hat. He was well- nigh cut off from escape. Hon. Mar- tin Burrell, Minister of Agriculture, was badly burned about the face and hands. When Hon. Michael Clark, of Red Deer, who will be remember- | ed as having spoken at a late recruit- | ing meeting In Artillery Park, Kings- | ton, last summer, had made his es- cape from the House, he rushed at once i mies the Chateau Laurier.

Oth- er members arrived in a slightly less injured condition. It was a scene of wild disorder and of intense ex- citement.," "What was the opinion prevalent in Ottawa as to the origin of the fire?"' queried the Whig. 'There are many who state," re- plied Mr. Macpherson, "that the fire was of purely 'accidental origin, but on the other hand there are thosé who stoutly maintain that it was of in- cendiary origin. Mayor Mederic Martin, of Montreal, who himself had a miraculous escape, stated most em- phatically that he heard two dis- tinct explosions. Another member of Parliament also bore out his con- | tention. It will be difficult to con- | vince some of the most representa- | tive people of the nation that the J fire was not of enemy origin. It all occurred so quickly, and the flames spread so rapidly, that it was difficult for any one to form a clear conelu- | sion." Y Stop Where You Are! DID YOU KNOW ?
