There have been instances of senators resigning from the upper house in Canada hut in no case were they succeeded by brothers or sons. William Temple man, who was senator from 1897 to 1906 resigned to accept a port- folio in the Laurier cabinet and a seat in the commons. Senator Choquette of Quebec, resigned some years ago, as also did Senator La Riviere. The Macdonells are natives of To- ronto. Claude Macdonell represented South Toronto in the commons from 1904 to 1917, when he was summon- ed to the senate.

Toronto, Nov, 10.--Although defi- nite returns are not yet available, information coming to the Depart- ment of Highways on the work of the last year indicates that the total ex- penditure on good roads in the prov- ince of Ontario will fall little, if any, short of $25,000,000, of which the larger part will be carried by the provincial treasury. It is estimated that expenditure on provincial Highways will be in the neighborhool of $9,000,000 although a portion of this represents accounts which really belong to the work of the preceding year. In addition to this, the province will pay in sub- sidies to the counties and townships --if the latter spend the amount on \their roads that they Proposed to spend--$4,500,000, of which the townships will receve about $650,- 000.

The Inde- pendent Labor party of Ontario has issued a manifesto scoring both the old political parties, and urging the support of Farmer-Labor candidates in the election. The Meighen party is attacked for "its idiotic title and cabinet of nonentities, mountebanks and renegades," and the King party as "'pussy-footing Liberalism." Goes With King.

Kendall in Trouble at Sackett's Harbor, Sacketts 'Harbor, N.Y., Nov. 10 WHY Her decks within three menes of the water, the steam barge Har- vey J. Kendall put in Monday after- noon to escape an unusually severe gale on the lakes. A northwest wind prevailed, its velocity being about thirty-five miles an hour but much greater on the open lake. The barge remained here unti] eight o'clock Tuesday morning, when she proceed- ed down the river. The vessel was evidently bound from Oswego with a load or coa. When she appeared in the harbor it wds evident that she was in dis- | tress, all her pumps being at work, The vessel is an old wooden barge, but seaworthy and the water had evidently been taken aboard through her hatches rather than through any of the seams. When she arrived and grounded in the harbor within ab- out thirty or forty feet o! the dock, she had settled to within about three inches of the deck, the water being up to her covering board, the last plank in a vessel. None of the crew came ashore due to the high sea that was running and no information could be gained about her trip. Her pumps were kept at work all night and by morning her condition was again normal and she was able to proceed, apparently none the worse for her experience in the gale, POLITICAL SPEECH BURNS SCHOOLHOUSE Mount Horeb Despatch Does- n't 8ay Which Party Is Guilty.

Wrangel Island To Establish Base. Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 10.--Vilh- jalmur SStefansson, Arctic explorer, announced yesterday that a party he from Nome, Alaska, to Wrangel Island, about one hundred miles north of Siberia, to establish a base for what he said would be a huge British exploring party into the north, had arrived safely at their destination. In making the announcement, Mr. Stefansson said the safe arrival ot the party at Wrangel Island has made it possible for him to discuss some of the plans under considera- tion. There are six men in the Wran- gel island party, he explained, all of whom were picked for the expedition because of heroism or especial in- itiative shown on previous expedi- tions with him. The party left Nome secretly last September. "I financed and sent the expedition into the north," said Mr. Stefansson. The work of the six men will be confined entirely, he stated, to ar- ranging the base for the big British party, which, he stated, will be form- ed in Canada or England in March. Beyond saying that it is planned to | make the British party one of the most extensive exploring expeditions that ever went into the north, Mr, Stefansson refused to divulge details, He said that a comprehensive an- nouncement as to the purposé of the British expedition probably would be made in London as soon as the party had been organized. He did not in- | dicate whether he would accompany the British explorers. PREMIER DRURY SPEAKS AT PICTON WITH CRERAR |BRITISH EXPLORING He Says Hydro Radials--Is a! Mix-Up and Hodge- Podge. Picton, Nov. 10.--Despite a heavy snowstorm about 1,500 electors from all parts of Prince Edward county assembled in the armories here yes- teray afternoon in order to Hon. T.

In touching on the hydro scheme, Premier Drury said: we came into power we hodge-podge and mix up policy, which bade fair to lead the into as dangerous and diffic ers as the dominion did Canada." This scheme has been not with the approval governments, but in spite of them and without any proper tion. He also pointed ou [though the previous: administration | had had mothers' pensions under { consideration for eight years they {had never had the courage to put the scheme into operation although they had had funds enough to go ahead and build a government house and buy private cars, both of which expenditures he. wished had never been made.

Ottawa, Nov. 10--The election campaign is causing a fierce white light to best upon the United Far- mers of Ontario. The disquieting dis- closure that their co-operative con- cerns anr financially embarrassed, threatens to undermine the stability of their political organization, and now there comes to light a resolution of the executive condemning the per- sonal conduct of certain unnamed members of the Drury government. What is exposed. is regarded as noteworthy, because one of the sup- posed missions of the United Farm- ers in politics is supposed to be pure ity. A resolution adopted by the exe cutive and given below refers to a "party" alleged to have taken place in the legislative bullding at Toron« to, just on the eve of the close of the last session, when, it is claimed certain Ontario statutes were in« fringed, both in the letter and spir« it, The resolution was as follows: "That, whereas, there have coma to the knowledge of this executive board rumors of unseemly and irre gular conduct on the part of some members of the legislature during the last night of the session. 'And, whereas, the names of the members of different parties, gov ernment included, are implicated, "And, whereas, itis admitted by responsible members that these rumors have foundation in fact. "And, whereas, the toleration of. such conduct is utterly at variance with the principles for which our ia« stitution stands, "Therefore, be it resolved, that | this executive board hereby express« es its disappointment and disapprove al and urges Premier Drury and the Attorney-General to take such steps jas shall preserve the honor of the [United Farmers, and that a copy of [this resolution be forwarded to the [two ministers above mentioned." It appears that this matter was [ brought to the attention of the pre- mier of the province and the atto = ney-general, but that thog) who ase sisted at the "party" has no' oeén degraded in' status" Tne: i wou-a not call Tor the particular at radial | tention it does, but for ti» fact that {in tbe supposed process of purifisa- tion by the Farmers, the Drury g:v- ernment is participating morv.or less Jrovizes actively.
