The speech from the throne con- tained the following clauses: Immigration has poured into the new settlements of the North and the West in a copious and wellâ€" ordered stream, drawn from the best elements of the British Isles, the United States, and continental Europe. Trade and commerce have made rapid advancos in all direc- tions. The revenue has almost com- pletely regained what it had lost in the recent period of depression. Most remarkable has been the ra- pid recovery from the financial em« barrassment which for a short time was the cause of anxiety amongst business men. -In nearly every branch of business there has been a revival of activity which gives as- surance of continued progress and prosperity. Two members of my Government attended the Imperial conference called by his Majesty’s Government on the question of defence. A plan was adopted, after consultation with the. Admiralty, for the organiz- ation of a Canadian naval service, gn the lines of the resolution of the House of Commons of the 29th of March last. The papers will be im- mediately brought down and a bill introduCed accordingly; The new convention between his Majesty and the President of the 'tinental Railway has made substan- tial advance during the year. The lWestern division has been extend- lpletingra total distance of 861 miles lwest of Winnipeg. Contracts have ibeen let for 399 miles in the mounâ€" ltain division; good progress was i made on this work. The Eastern (l1â€" [vision is now'open for traffic from lWinnipeg to Lake Superior Junc- ltion, and thence by the Grand lTrunk Pacific branch to me lake litself. The. whole of the work be- ! tween Winnipeg and Moncton is now 'under contract. The exploratory surveys for a railway from the Western wheat lficlds to Hudson’s Bay were push- lcd energetically during tue whole lof last summer. It is hoped that 1a report of the operation‘will‘ be .placed before you at an early date.

All efforts to rescue have failed. Not a sign of lifehas been received from the im- prisoned men. The fire which gut- ted the two shafts has been'smoth- ered by sealing the shafts, but it is feared the men’s lives have been snuffed out by the effort to save them being roasted alive. The fire originated in a stable in the second level, or in the mule barns, and was miner named James Hanney, who gave the alarm, but little notice was taken of the warning until near 3 o'clock, when a general alarm was given. Then it was too late and the biggest mine disaster State went on record. Besides the men dead in the mine, it band of twelve rescuers volun- teered to go down and they, too, lost their lives. These men were. lowered to their death, but went down bravely. in the W The Dominion Has discovered by a: a Coal Mine at Illinoiss. The last trip of the cage was made when the bodies of the mine superintendent and his assistants arose. The men were dead when about the pit mouth expressed the belief that they were dead or dy -ing when placed in the cage. N one survived to tell the story of the trip. Heartrending scenes of grief and suffering were enacted. Half an hour after the explosion occurred the mouth of the shaft was sur- rounded by frantic wom'en and chil- ldren. Many tried to enter the lmine, but gave up ‘after the first I effort, or were carried away uncon- scious from the smoke and fumes. For two hours, officials of the mine, assisted by the residents of Cherry, tried to devise means to help the im- prisoned miners, but in vain. Deeds of true heroism were called forth by the disaster. Six men gave up their lives and many more were willing to brave death to carry aid to comrades, until Chief Mine Su- lperiutendent Taylor declared that all hope had gone.. .4 V..-“ than uer Adopted a «Vigorous Defence Policy.
