A despatcn from Watertown, N.Y, | states that the littie steamer was last | heard trom Tuesday night, while | sounding signals off Sackeit's Har- | bor, and the vessel had now been &i- | ven up as lost, A despatch Trom Sacket"s Harbor | gives the following information of interest regarding tne John Randall: The steamer loaded at the D., L. & W. trestle in Oswego a week ago | Saturday and since then awaited an | opportunity to clear. On Tuesday the | wind hauled to the northeast and Captain Randall decided to chance it and cleared just before noon. Mrs. John Price, wife of the engi- neer at the Madison Barracks pump- ing station, was aroused at about 1 Wednesday morning by cries from the lake. She said today,K that it | seemed as if a man was crying '"'Hel- lo." Mrs. Price awakened her hus- band, who was sleeping in the en- | gine room at the time, but no further calls were heard. | | Heard a Whistle, Other residents of Sacket's Harbor claim to have heard a whistie blow- ing, evidently from a vessel in dis- tress, Some heard it Tuesday night and others Wednesday morning. No signs of the ship were seen, however. There has been no wreckage of any kind washed ashore here, Boats of the size of the Randall usually take the inside channel, be- tween Stony Point and Stoney Island. The other channel, between the Ducks and' Galloups, is considered h more dangerous and is not of- ten taken by the smaller boats, It is believed that the Randall may have | sighted the light in the government | pumping station and that the crew | then endeavored to attract the at- tention of those on shore. The light in the station is seen for a long | distance out, on the lake and for | some time before the Horse Island light is visible. By some it is thought | that the Randall may have put in| behind the Ducks for shelter in the | event that she took the more danger- | ous course. 'The boat was built about Jilin years ago at Smith's Falls, Ont. Capt. John Randall, father of a present commander, T <<ed the Randall. An ( ,0 despatch says: Capt. John Mo. udough, of the schooner Lyman Davis, that arrived here light | Tuesday night, repo-ted passing the | steamer Randall eight miles this side of the Ducks about five efclock in the | afternoon of that day. The wind was blowing fresh, east by north, and the Davis was making about eleven miles an hour. Therc was a heavy sea running and the Randall did not appear to be making to exceed four miles an hour. If she got into the harbor at the Ducks she's safe, Capt. McCullough believes. The Randall had a bulwarks fif- teen inches -high around her sides, differing in that respect from the Hinckley or Isabelle, which are with- out bulwarks which gives the oppor- tunity to sweep over the deck. A boat like the Randall could not frees herself from a deck load of water readily ang it is not impossible that a couple of heavy seas coming aboard might have broken into the engine- room and the boat foundered. : VAST STEEL PLANT ON THE WEST COAST 'To be Built on Lower Mah- land of British Columbia. Vancouver, Nov. 22.--Incorpora- tion of the Coast Range Steel, Limit- ed, with a capital of $15,000,000 and controlled by British capital was an- nounced 1°re today. It is the in- tention of the company to create an iron and steel plant with blast furn- aces, on the lower mainland of Brit- ish Columbia. Plans ror the company provide for the ultimate expenditure of $50,000,000 in the establishment of a great iron and steel industry and it is the intention* to start active con- struction within six months. Engin- eers have been in the province for two months making a survey of the situation. Vancouver men named as provision- al directors are: H. J. Landahal, Fred T. Congdon, J. D.

Ottawa, Nov. 22. --The meetings of the tariff commission j covering Ontario points will be as fol- | lows: Kingston, Nov. 25th; Hamil- | ton, Noy. 26th and 27th; London, | | Nov, 25th; Windsor, Nov. 30th; Te- | jonto, commencing Dec. 1st. | Sir Henry Drayton explained that | while sittings had been asked for at a larger number of Ontario places, the commission was unable to hold meetings more generally in Ontario | owing to the limited time, the great | amount of work to be done tn digest- | | ing the evidence and working out the | tariff, and the necessity of having | the whole matter properly considered | for an early sitting of parliament. He | | pointed out, however, that the points selected render, it possible for those further | | sentations to attend at any one of the places visited with a minimum of travel and, as in the past, those com- ing from outside points will be given the first opportunity of being heard before the commission, so as to make it as convenient as possible. When all the other sittings have been completed a special meeting wiTr be held at Ottawa for the purpose of hearing any who may desire to com- plefegtatements given at other points or"wh¥ may 'hot previously have | found it convenient to appear.

THE LONDON PRESS FEELS ( OPTIMISTIC About League of of Nations-- World Cannot Live Without It. London, Nov. 22.--The Chronicle is editorially optimistic regarding the future of the "League and warned against antipathy toward it. "The League claims our practical and unselfish allegiance as the one ultimate and indispensable safeguard against future repetitions of the 1914-18 tragedy oh an even more catastrophic scale," the newspaper said. ¥ The Clironicle commended the plea of George Nichol Barnes, British Labor leader, for Germany's admis- sion to the League, declaring that "British public opinion preponder- antly and very rightly favors this, and we are glad Barnes urged it." A. Gardiner, writing in the Daily News, said that the world cannot live long without the League, the necessity for which has been de- monstrated beyond the attack of any of its enemies, "who are sufficiently numerous." "America has deserted the cause and France throughout has been frankly hostile toward the League," he said, "but the United States will come into the League in a better mind now, since the baser mind has had its revenge, while if France stays out she will stay alone and take the consequences alone." .$1,312 Governments Combine To Finance Chinese | Washington, Nov. 22.--The con- sortium for the ass nce of China, organized by bankin groups in Great Bry in, the.

Aylmer, Nov. 22.--The climax in one of the most keenly campaigns in Canada's political his- tory--that in connection with the East Elgin bye-election--was reached here Saturday when the Right Hon. Arthur Meighen, e »mier of Canada, visited Aylmer, for the purpose of | speaking in the interest of John L. | Stansell, candidate of the National | Liberal and Conservative. party. | The townspeople, their numbers augmented by hundreds of residents | alysis of beer brewed in a number of Dearing until Thursday, of the district for miles around, turned out in force to Right Hou.

Crerar, leader of the Agrarian party, and Mackenzie King, the Liberal leader, and his who had spoken in Aylmer a couple | of days previously. He demonstrat- ed conclusively fthe great extent to which the agricultural population of Canada was dependent on the main- tenance of a reasonable protective | tarift, and as he drove home point | after point his hearers broke approving cheers and applause. The government forces are opti- mistic as to Mr. Stansell's chances in the voting on Monday, although they are not un derestimating the strength {of their opponents. W. G. C hariton, | the Liberal nominee, and S. S. Mec- | Dermand, standard-bearer for the United Farmers, have both put up strong campaigns, and the race is admittedly a close one. The majority of the successful candidate, almost certainly, will be a small one, no matter which way the result goes. into TRIED DESPERATELY TO SAVE COMPANION When Charles 8. Fleming, Ot= tawa, Broke Through the Ice. Ottawa, Nov. 22.--That the late Charles 8. Fleming, one of Ottawa's | most popular young mem, was not alone at the time he was drowned, last Tuesday, in Lake Metagami, 105 miles 'west of Sudbury, and that desperate efforts were made by his companions, fellow- -employees of the Cochrane Lumber Co., to save his life, are some additional facts con- cerning the young man's tragic end which have been received by his father, Sandford H. Fleming: A party of men, headed by Flem- ing, set out from camp to cross Meta- gami Lake. The surface of the lake was frozen, and as a matter of pre- in case the jee should break under their weight, the men walk- ed at some distance one from the oth€r, tied together by a tent line. When the ice suddenly gave way Fleming was thrown in the water and the liné parted. Flem- ing's companions tried desperately to save him from drowning, but the thinness of the ice, which was con- stantly breaking, nullified their at- tempts. After working for . twenty-five minutes in 'thé hope of locating the body, the party returned to camp.

CANADA IS AFRAID OF LEAGUE ACTION Rowell Hints With Internal Affairs Would Not be Tolerated. N. Ww of the Geneva, Nov. 22.--Hon. Rowell, formerly president privy council, pointed out to the as- | sembly of the League of Nations Sat- | urday the danger involved in any at- tempt to interfere with the interior affairs: of any country. Canada, he said, would never consent to any such interference. Mr. Rowell's remarks were made in discussion of the report of the! council to the assembly, ending the | first -stage of the assembly's work. He was referring to the demand that | had"been made, by Senator La Fon- | taine, of Belgium, that raw materials, weherever found, be made available | for the use of all nations.. The ques- tion "of raw materials, Mr- Rowell held to be & question of interior affairs.

Murder Stalked Through Dublin Streets on Sunday; 25 Persons Killed And Over 100 Seriously Wounded," London, Nov. '22.--Murder stalked through the streets of Dublin yesterday, and at night- fall" meagre reports received here indicated that at least twenty-five persons. had been killed and »upwards of a hun- dred more or less seriously wounded. The day's disorders, "which added an appalling chapter to the tragedy that had been enacted in Ireland for the past several months, began with ap- parently the deliberate shoot- ing of fourteen men, who for the most part were military of- ficers.. During the afternoon, the Irish constabulary,' or "Black and Tans" raided Croke park, where a football game was in progress, and in the me- lee which resulted, at least ten persons were killed. Communication with Ireland. was seemingly interrupted last < / evening, but the latest advices declared that fires had broken out in various places in that city. Shooting agdin began in the streeis just before -mid- night, and it was asserted that a number of persons had been killed. Yesterday's murderous out- break in Dublin produced in this city a sensation compar- able to that which followed the Easter rebellign of 1916. Re- cent confidence declarations by members of the British minis- try, to the effect that their policy was succeeding, that outrages were decreasing in number, and that the authority of the law was being re- established, had been hopefully welcomed by the genkral public. The people to-day recalled with astonishthent such phrases as were uttered a fortnight ago by Lloyd George, who said, "Un- \ less I am mistaken, we have murder by. the throat." Whether Sunday's tragic events are to be regarded as a disproof of such official utter- ances remains to be seen. The military authorities in Dublin are said to hold the view that the murder of fourteen , army officers. will prove the final outburst of a nearly broken conspiracy, which is the last desperate throw of the fugi- - tives, who are known to have flocked to Dublin to escape the severity of measures employed in the province to suppress Sinn Feinism. Sinn Feiners were foiled in an attempt to. blow. up Dublin Castld. They ha started to bore a tunnel when authori- ties nipped the plot. The sending of additional troops to Ireland is being sevi- ously considered, it was stated at the war office this after- "noon. <4 counsel for Sprack- | take | obtain | 22 ~--Justice Cod- | the | Interference | A WORLD NOT READY FOR DISARMAMENT EE Geneva, Nov.-22.--An inter- national military force, with an international staff, was pro- posed to the assembly of the League of" Nations to-day by Senator Henri La Fontaine of the Belgian delegation.

Winnipeg, Man., Nov. 22.--One, hundred and forty-two million bush- els of this year's western wheat crop, or in other words, more than half, has been inspected, and is presumed to be moving forward. The esti- mated crop was 230,260,000 bush- els. Up till the middle of. November this year there were 60,643 cars of wheat moved, as against 45,912 cars to that time last year.
