Mrs. Anderson's maiden name was Bridget Ellen Quirk and.she was a native of Ireland; coming to Canada at dbout two years of age with her parents. Her husband, Thomas An- derson, predeceased her about sev- enteen years ago.

The Will of the Irish People Is Citgo Pre- Dublin, June 22.--The approxi- mate representation of the various parties in the parliament chosen at last Friday's election, as shown by returns up to last night, is as fol- lows. Coalition treaty 54. Coalition Republican 33. Labor 14. Farmers 5, Independents 10. The Dail ministry is intact so far, no member being unseated the labor minister, McGrath, was run close by an independent labor candidate. Labor's progress in tho country proceeds. Count O'Bryne, anti-treaty, Tipperary, has been un- seated by Morrissey, independent labor. Labor is also at the top of the poll in Wexford. Griffith's success is a foregone conclusion and is hailed with great rejoicing everywhere, while the de- feat of Liam Mellowes in Galway ie regarded as the most severe blow to the Republicans. Mellowes' defeat is also a severe blow to 'General' Rory O'Connor, he being the brains- carrier of that extreme wing of re- Dublin City as a whole had five anti-treaty deputies, now it has ong, John T. O'Kelly, former Dail repre-| sentative at Paris. The landslide has engulfed the anti-treaty party in town and country. Even O'Kelly The state- ment by the lord mayor of Dublin is eloguent:' "Judging by the results in all parts of the country," he says, "the will of the people is going to prevail." Women Defeated. Results announced show moval of many of the best known personalities in the Dail Eireann. Of the six women members, all anti- treaty, only Mary MacSwiney surviv- the re- od in the contests and Mrs. Kate .Q'~ Callaghan was returned unopposéd.: Mrs. Pearse, whose sons were executed for their part in the Easter week rebellion, was defeated in County Dublin. The figures show that she received comparatively few transfers of votes. Sean Etchingham, a frequent speaker in the Treaty debates in the Dail, was defeated in Wexford, and Seamus Robinson, one of the leaders of the army dissentients, lost out in Waterford. Most conspicuous among the de- feats was that of Erskine Childers in Kildare. He received only 572 votes, fewer than any other candid- ate in the whole elections. His pro- treaty colleague was given more than 9,000 first preferences. The possi- ble effect of the disappearance of so many leading Republicans from the Dail is being widely discussed.

EDITION, BIG OVATION GIVEN PRINCE | Happiness In England Over Return of Heir. The Triumphal Procession Through London Was a Gala Event. London, June 22. --Seemingly all England turned out yesterday to greet the Prince of Wales on his re- iturn from an eight months' voyage, {and English society, being disap- {pointed by the weather during Ascot | week, usually the zenith of the Lon- don season, took advantage of the | Prince's return for a gala social per- | 10d. ; The interest of a large portion of {the population is divided between the home-coming and a ball to be given Friday night, the Prince's 28th birth- |day, by the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire for their-daughter, Lady | Rachel Cavendish. While some of |those who profess to know the trend lof the minds of the royal family say |the betrothal of the Prince and Lady Rathel will not be announced at the | ball, is would hardly come as a sur- {prise in social circles. { There was no camouflage about {Great Britain's sincere happiness in | welcoming the popular prince. It was | very real. Residents along the four- {mile route which the prince took {from Paddington Station to Buck- {ingham Palace late yesterday after- inoon were besieged by strangers who loffered anywhere from $5 to $15 for [the privilege of standing in a win- |dow with several other persons. As | much as $500 was paid for a small {residence balcony. All the clubs along Piccadily made preparations for their members to witness the procession, notably the { American Club which for this occa- |sion was open to women guests. Am- |ericans were very much in evidence in both the night and day celebra- tions. The prince's return te London was {one grand triumphal procession. Ev- lery town between Plymouth and London, reports say, decorated {tseif to the limit and turned out en masse as the prince's train passed through. Workmen were busy all night and it almost takes a prince's arrival to coax London laborers to work at night---decorating Paddington Sta- tion and every thoroughfare of the long route to the palace. Old residents here say the recep- tion outshone any welcome to Great Britain's former princes, and there are two reasons for this. The prince | has made himself genuthely popular iand on this long trip there were | times when the British people were distinctly nervous for his safety. While they discussed it little, they | were relieved when he sailed safely |away from India and more than hap- py when he left Egypt without unto- ward incident. It has been incorrectly reported that the prince intends to wind up his adventurous globe-trotting with a trip to Ireland. No engagements have been made for two months at the princk's request.
