The boat is said to have & valuation of about $2,500, and has & speed of 25 to 30 miles an hour. The tank had just been filled up by Mr. Malley and was all ready for a long trip. Mr. Malley did not dis- cover his loss until the next day. He immediately had the police notified on both Cahadian and American sides of the St. Lawrence river and Lake Ontario. He then went over to the U.S. side and made enquiries at likely places where the thief or thieves might have landed. His brother, Arthur, who is in the cus- toms at Deseronto, went over to Os- Wego and. with the aid of the U.S. customs officers there, was lucky enough yesterday to find the boat tied up to one of the wharves in that port. It is said that with the exception of a hole in the hull, she is little the worse for the trip. As far as can be ascertained, there is no trace of the person or persons who stole the boat. mittee his resignation must be ac- cepted without fail. Since the Bishop first tendered his resignation ex- tracts from 'a letter written by him in the Church Times early in May, to correct what he considered mis- leading statements about/his diocese which appeared in article In 'that paper, were printed in- Gana dian papers some six weeks later and quite wrongly interpreted as an attack on Orange lodges in Ontario. "This fact may have influenced the action of the ekecutive though the Bishop has no information to that effect. But he had pothing to do as Bishop except tender his resigna- tion which was made some weeks before these extracts appeared in the Canadian press, and the subsequent misinterpretation of them, and it was solely for the reason offered and nd other." Dr. Bidwell added that the public- ity given his resignation is most dis- tressing and he trusts he will now where that is possible. Much Coal on Hand. The government, which is in pose session of production figures in ane thracite and bituminous, does not expect any real suffering to result from a hard coal.strike. John Hays Hammond, former chairman of the United States Coal Commission, has pointed out that there will be 8 supply of hard coal on hand by Sep tember 1st, which will meet the needs of the consumers for four months. With the use of bituminous, oil and coke, it is maintained by Mr, Hammond that the householder will be able to pass a comfortable winter without sufferings Te According to the rate of produce tion of the bituminous fields, it jg believed that enough coft coal will be available to supply all household- Or requirements.
