It 'was clearly shown that the pro- per signals for the crossing had been given by the engineer, and that the - signal bell, operated automatically, was in good order and had sounded previous to the accident. The only two men who actually saw the late Mr. Waller struck by the engine were Robert Buster, en employee of the contracting firm, and Thomas H. Norton, the fireman in the engine-cab. Many of the other men who were on' the scene of the accident were uncertain as to the whistling of the engine and the func tioning of the signal bell. The unfortunate victim of the accident had been unloading coal quite near the right of way, and ap- parently he had started to cross the track when the engine was almost upon him. Fireman Norton stated that he saw Waller a few seconds prior to the collision, and that tho latter had whipped up his horses in an attempt to cross ahead of the specding train, only to be struck while half-way across the track.

When questions were being 'an- swered, the prime minister observed that a question put by Mr. Church about the cost of living was mot of the kind that the government should be expected to answer, and the speaker upheld: this view, How- ever, later on, Mr. King answered two items of the question and told the member for North Toromto that the government neither intended w hold an inquiry into the cost of liv- ing nor to authorize the monicipali- ties or grand juries to undertake it. Some time was speit dn priting through a further instalment. of in- terim supply to which everybody was agreeable. Mr. Baxter wanted to discuss the dismissal from office as post mist- ress of Matan of the daughter of a former Tory member, but at the re- quest of the postmaster-general the matter mas held over. everything - humanly possible had been done to avert the accident.

Malta, June 12--The official an- nouncement regarding the relief of the seventh destroyer flotilla, at present in the Mediterranean, by the third flotilla of the Atlantic fleet, which comprises - the latest built destroyers, is interpreted here as the first step towares putting into effect the proposed redistribu- tion of the fleets whereby the Medi- terranean fleet will again become Great Britain's main fleet in com: mission. It is believed here that the nbxt step will be the sending out of bat- tleships of the Royal Bovereign class to reinforce the present bai- tle squadron, but this is not likely to take place before October. Other ships mentioned as destined for the Mediterranean from the ae lantic fleet, besides the second light cruiser squadron, are the newly built Eagle which 1s the jargest air craft carrier, also the Argus, The aircraft carrier Pegasus now here is returning to home waters. i¥ Little doubt is entertained herp that the destroyer strength in the middle sea is likewise to be com: siderably increased, ot stops contemplated are believed to be the relief of the eighth a more modern one and the ing out of an additional flotilla, mak- ing altogether two flotillas in Mediterranean. : ae keep himself without state aid.
