The flag was raised aloft by Archibald Wayner, negro war vet- eran, 4nd the dedicatory address was made by Monsignor Patrick R. Runi- Xan, a Catholie. To 10,000 persons who gathered for the ceremony yesterday, Mon- signor Dunigan said: "This obser vance, with its diversity of elements assembled so obviously for the com- mon good, means nothing if not the convincing burial of the bitterness of bigotry in this community. It should stand as a splendid example to all communities."

Jacques Balsan, was that at the age of seven- teen years she was. virtually forced listo union with the Dake. She al- leged she was induced to marry him through pressure brought to bear by her mother and other relatives. | Clank, Or-dn-Ban, Report Says That There Wil Not Be A Three-Cornered Contest in Kingston ; "There will be only one Conserva. tive Government coutrol candidate in the coming election,' "a prominent Conservative told The Whig to-day.

An accident in which two automo- biles and a truck were badly dam- aged occurred at the top of McMie- hael's Hill on Saturday night. The driver of a car from 'Belleville col- lided with the truck and blocked the highway, Another car driven by a Cataraqui young man came over the top of the hill and crashed into the wreck before it could stop. A settle- ment of damages was affected by the parties interested but the Belle- ville driver will probably be charged under the Highway Traffic Act. The traffic on the Kingston-Tor- onto highway on Saturday night was s0 dense that it resembled a never- ending procession. It could not have been wondered at if more accidents had occurred but the one mentioned above was the only mishap as far as Napanee. Blinding headlights and in a few cases intoxicated drivers added to the difficulties of the motorists but for the most part Highway Traf- fic Officer Dowsley was able to maintain comparatively good condi- tions.

MINERS LOSE IN THE GREAT 1 i } Settlement Will Satisfy No One | Except the Public OWNERS LARGELY Wi The Settlement Means Bath Leager Hours and Decreased Wages or t the Men. London, Nov. 15.--To all intents the long coal stoppage which dis- located half the country's industries | and is estimated to have cost the | nation $1,500,000,000, has; ended | with defeat of évery important claim for which the miners fought so tem- aciously. 3 It mgy still be a week or more be- fore there is a general resumption | of work, but the termination of the | strife came Saturday when the min-| ers' delegates conference recom- mended that the miners accept the Government's peace proposais, That the miners, , who vote by dis- triots, not by ballot, will accept the recommendation is regarded as a foregone conclusion. | The settlement is described by nobody as a negotiated, peace. It is | peace virtually imposed by the Gov-! ernment, and was accepted only after | bitter opposition by a minority of the | Welsh miners, and in the face of a| probable stampede of the 'men back | to work had it been rejected. i The royal coal commission's re-| port, which figured so largely in the earlier negotiations, is disregarded. | The owners gained most of thetr | points for the settlement, which | means longer hours and decreased | wages for the men and complete dis- | abpearance of the national principle in arranging the conditions of work. All that the miners saved out of the wreckage is a "shadowy" na- | tional tribunal with the short life of | six months and very attenuated powers. i The explanation the miners re- guested from the Government' con- cerning the Government proposals, | show that the tribunal will have no power to arbitrate on the question of hours. i The miners may, however, appeal | to the tribunal in the event of any district settlement failing to conform | to what is considered the standard agreement. The Government tried to secure peace for a perfod of three years by providing that no standard agree- ment can be made for less than three years, IMPOSING REPLY T0 DOYLE'S CHALLENGE 3,000 at Service Answered Call | to Those Who Had Heard From Dead. s--" | London, Nov. 15.--An impressive | belief in spiritualism was registered at the spiritualist annual armistice service in Albert Hall yesterday. Bir Conan Doyle, leading the ser- vices, suddenly appealed to his hear- ers, shouting: ' "I ask all who are sure that they have been in touch wit* their dead to rise and testify." + More than 3,000 men and women of all types quietly rose, and this brought from Bir Conan this fer. vent statement; "Thank God, there are so many, prophesy within five yaars that to such an appeal every nian and wo. man will rise. We are not testifying to faith, bat to fact." The growth of the belief in spirit communication, so persistently ex. pounded by Sir Oliver Lodge and "Sir Conxn Doyle, Nas apparently been extraordinary. The occasion of the manifestation yesterday was the gathering of 8.000 spiritualists for the annual armistice service. In the course of his address Sir Conan said: "We say here in mid. Lomdon and in coll blood, and pledge our honor, that this is true. We feel we are addressing those we have lost, and" hold out our hands to them. not as shadow beings In an unknown !fe, but just the same light-hearted merry fellows we have lost. They are not lost. but are! nearer to us than ever before ther were." $e? Twenty-five vessels were tied up in the uppet St. Mary's river over night At Toronto Winter Fair, W. L.
