Ottawa, March 29.--The govern- ment of Hon. W. L. Mackenzie King received a real mandate shortly after six o'clock last evening. During the afternoon an amendment had been introduced on a motion to go into supply, and this amendment was de- feated by 162 to 42. It was one of the largest major- ities ever recorded in the House of Commons--the largest on a non- confidence motion since Confedera- tion. Only she Conservatives voted for the amendment, while the Progres- sives lined up soMdly behind the gov- ernment. To-day the government forces are jubilant and the Conservatives de- Jected. Two opportunities were given the Conservatives to evade the roll-call and allow the motion to be lost on division, They availed themselves of neither, with the result that the country is shown the smallness of the following under Rt. Hon, Arthur Meighen, "Want of Confidence" Motion. To the surprise of everyone, when the motion to go into supply was made, Col. Arthurs, Parry Sound, moved an amendment, which, of course, was a motion of "want of confidence." He reminded the house of the Liberal platform of. 1919, which, he claimed, promised the re- turned men a cash gratuity. He told of Loberal speakers during the cam- paign making pledges to the same effect, pledges which, he claimed, had not been repudiated by the leader of the government, His amendment recorded that the subsequent action of the government "constitutes a re- pudiation of a solemn obligation and a disregard of 'political honor." In the debate, which lasted till well after six o'clock the words "solemn obligation' 'and "political AN OVERTHROW OF GOVERNMENTS * + | | | % | | honor" chamber, Premier's Vigorous Defense, The premier made a fighting de- fense of the position of his govern- ment, He claimed that the resolu- tion of the 1919 Liberal convention did not actually pledge.the govern- ment to a cash gratuity, Vigorously he denied that during the late cam- paign he had made any.promise of a cash gratuity, nor had he heard any speaker on the s platform as himself make any such promise, He maintained, amid Liberal cheers that the standard of political honor was as safe with the Liberals as with any other party. Ex-Premler Meighen addressed the bulk of his remarks to the Progres- sives, He read the Farmers' party a lengthy lecture on political ethics, attempting to show that public life was at a 16w ebb when a party got votes by promising returned men a gratuity and then not living up to | that promise. Hon. Mr. Crerar, as | he has done before, complained about old election campaign talk being brought up and delaying business. He bluntly announced that his vote would be against the amendment, Fielding a War-horse. Though the argument was hitter and the atmosphere electric, it re- mained for the veteran Hon. W. S. Fielding to wake up the Liberals and start them pounding their desks with a will. He carried the war right into the camp of Mr. Meighen. He toM the house how Mr. Meighen had pro- mised a redistribation bill and never carried out that promise; also how tariff reform had been promised, with the same result, Mr. Flelding de- nounced his opponents for not let- ting the house get on with its work. The minister of finance had all the fire in his speech that charac- terized his utterances of years ago. All agree to-day that his was a mas- terly performance. . for killing of a man by specials on St. Patrick's day.

Berlin, March 29.--One of the maids" of honor of the late Empress of Russia is now in prison in Berlin. She was the daughter. of Genera} Skatiantine and Princess Lubanow and was for some years regarded as the most beautiful young woman at the Russian court. She married a Russian general but the union was not a happy one, and was dissolved. She left Russia and settled in Ger- many, marrying a retired army sur- geon, Dr. Berrische, of Bonn, who died shortly before the war. During the war she experienced the greatest tion with the attempt to unravel the threads of the tangled skein. Gideon G#ant, K.C., solicitor for the Misses Small, sisters of the miss- ing man, said that he had no furth- er news of a probe being undertaken by the attorney-general. *I-cannot understand why something is not done," he :sald. 'But there safe some people who dre talking of start- ing a public subscription to raise a fund for the purpose of following up certain clues." Mr. Grant thinks that there is enough public interest in the case and enough concern to see the clues he speaks ot followed up, even'if it took a good bit of money to do it. He believes that many people are dissatisfied with the conduct of the case so far. Referring to Attorney- General Raney's remark that the po- lice had "made progress in the case up to a certain point,' he said: "That's just it--It has only been up to a certain point, and that point is not far enough." 3 MAN AND WOMAN ARE FOUND MURDERED Jealousy Thought to Have - zs Is By Republi Spe y Republican bulary Members Captured.

The programme of his stay in the mikado's empire, as announced here, shows that after arriving in Yoko- hama on the battleship Renown, April 12th, he will go straight to To- kio, where he will be entertained with dinners at the Japanese foreign office and the prime minister's official residence, The British em- bassy in Tokio and the British colony in Yokohama are. planning to give balls to celebrate his visit, After a Week in those two cities the prince will go to Nikko for two days and afterward = will visit Odawarg and Lake Hakone, visiting Yokohama on the way to unveil the interallied war memorial arch which has been erect- ed by popular subscription on the "Bluff," the foreign residental -dis- trict. : Later he will proceed by automo- bile to BHoji, where he will remain over night, and on the following day will go to lida, he will de- ; as far ral ,, where he will e train for Kioto, .

"Another consideration that was even more influential with the gov- ernment, was the fact that the com- pany was not the only party guilty of misconduct with regard to the matters covered by these law suits. {The accredited representatives of the government were equally guilty. The |company is essentially a foreign cor- poration. The government of On- frei is continuous and this govern- ment is responsible in a degree so {far as contractural, relations are jconcerned. for the acts and conduct {of previous governmefits. In -that {view there was an obligation I think on the part of this government to iassume on behalf of the province a share of the loss due to the miscon- duct of the company's representative and representatives -of the province. "In conclusion, permit me to say that I trust that this litigation will prove the culmination of a sysicm of mismanagement of the timber re- sources of this province. If that end is "accomplished the mere matter of dollars and cents involved in this settlement or in any other settle- ments which may be made with oth- er companies who have obtained im- proper advantages at the expense of the government will be a compara- tively unimportant matter."
