The latest estimates give not more than fifteen out of the total of 1563 seats to the Republicians.

London, Aug. 27. -- Sir Liomel Phillips, in a lengthy letter to the Times, says the approaching con- ference between the premiers of Britain and the Dominions comes at a most critical tim as the prob- lems of great moment demand so- lution if the Empire is to be pre- served. The powers of the domin- ions have grown enormously in re- cent years, he says, and the colonial statesmen have put forward claims virtually amounting to independence, to which the imperial authorities have tacitly acquiesced. A change has crept in, insidiousiy, like the spread of an infectious ma- lady, he continues, and unless steps are taken to enlighten the public the mine and is still a large share- holder. It was Moodie who several years ago undertook to be the pion- eer in delivering Alberta coal to the Toronto market, but at that time suppHes from the United States were not in such a precarious stage. The" fuel from the twenty-seven mines in the Drumheller Valley Is the equal in every respect to any soft coal sent into Ontario from the States and the Drumheller Valley miners are idle half the time be- cause of the restricted market. Moodie said he knew what he was talking about when he asserted the actual cost of transportation from Drumheller to Toronto was $3.65, because when he was planning as manager of the Rosedale to ship to that market he went into the cost with the companies carefully. The present rate of $7 per ton made by Senator A. C. Hardy will preside over the meeting. Hon. James Mur- dock, minister of labor, will also at- tend. are interested.

Montreal, Aug. 27.--Awakened to the immediate necessity of fortify- ing the outlying districts from at- tacks by burglars, automobile thieves, gunmen and other desperate characters, the city authorities have placed at the disposition of Chiet Erlanger six runabouts to be at the beck aud call of the public. Lawlessness displayed in 'a brazen manner of late by vobbers, thieves and burglars, has aroused the city executive to the need of augmenting the already depleted and underman- ned police force by the addition of automobiles. It is figured out that one car with an officer and constable as chauffeur, is as good ar ten men on foot in hunting criminals and getling over the ground. Saturday morning Chief Belanger appointed Sergts. Bond, Desjardins, Lavalle and Brunelle on duty at night in charge of runabouts, each sergeant to be accompanied by a constable as chauffeur. Officers and men will be in uniform and at the call of citizens who may need police protection at any hour of the night, from any district of the city. Two more sergeants and two policemen and two autos will be added in a few days. In an attempt to check speeding on highways of the province, several motorcycles have been purchased by the provinefal government for the use of speed officers.
