When Premier King seeks election in Prince Albert it will not be the first time that a leader of a federal Canadian political party has accept- ed a seat in the west, after being de- feated in an Ontario riding in a gen- eral election. That late Sir John A. Macdonald, when leader of the opposition, was defeated in Kingston in the gemeral election of 1878, in which Ontario, hitherto strongly Liberal, made a complete volte fhcé, electing 63 Con- servatives out of 68 seats. One of the five Tories to be defeated was Sir John, He was then elected by acclama- tion for Marquette, Man., and less than a month later, becoming prem- fer, had to offer himself again for election "according to constitutional practice.

John L. Lewls--Meet in Philadelphia. Philadelphia, Jan. 26--Anthracite miners and operators, who have ag- reed to hold another meeting in the jeffort to end the long coal strike, will meet in joint conferénce in Phil- adelphia Tuesday afternoon. The anthraeite operators have ac- cepted the call for a joint meeting of the miners and operators request- ed by President John L. Lewis, of the miners, with the understanding, however, that they have not accepted the Scranton Times' plan in prinei- ple. The letter, signed by W. W. Inglis for the operators, and sent to Alvin Markle, chairman of the joint con- ference of operators and miners, stated that the mine owners desire Lewis to be advised in advance of the conference that the plan does not contain a satisfactory basis for a contract, The request of Lewis for another meeting of the joint conference came as a surprise to operatdrs here. When the information was con- veyed to members of the operators' negotiating committee they display- ed eager interest, but had no com- ment to make. Members of the negotiating com- mittee yesterday were holding what was termed a "regular" meting be- fore the Scranton Times' plan was accepted by the miners as a basis: for negotiations. Oranges for Ontario Via Canadian Ports Moncton, N.B, Jan. 35.--When thé steamer Valnegra docks In St have 10,000 cases of Spanish o; As the scene of the tragedy wis in the township of Clyde, in: Haliburton district, it was outside the magis- trate's jurisdiction. No inquest was, therefore, held, but a full report has been forwarded to the Attorney-Gen- eral of Ontario. From the evidence adduced the hut was fired at 8 p.m. on January 9th, and the fire was seen by several trappers in the district. That steps were taken to heap fuel "on the flames was apparent by the finding of a quantity of freshiy-burned hay over the charred remains of the two men. Even the log piles on which the shack had been built had been dug up and thrown on to the fire, police officers report. The medical authorities who con- ducted the work of exhuming the charred bones express the opinion that the natural burning of a shack of t nature, with no inside furni- ture otherwise than six bunks, could not possibly have consumed the bones in the way they were found. The fire, they think, would have to be fed continually for some time in order to maintain sufficient heat. The shack in question was form- erly used as the local office of the Mickle and Dyment Lumber Com- pany. Latterly this. building was used as a fishing club house for the Patomoe Fishing Club, of 15 St Clair avenue west, Toronto. Cook May Not Be Fakir. Fort Worth, Tex., Jan. 3§.--Dr. Frederick A.
