A despatch from Paris says: The announcement that Prof. Gus- tave Herve, the Socialist, who had just been released from jail be- cause of the utterances of his paper during the railway strike, would deliver a lecture on Wednesday night on “Our Country,” stirred up the militant Anarchists, who re- gard ’Herve as a backslider, and they determined to prevent the de- livery of his address. They gath~ ered in large numbers in the hall and started a disturbance before the time for the lecture to begin. Chairs flew and revolvers were fired, and before the -..pr0fe.ssor started to speak eight wounded men had been taken to the hospi- . tal. When he took the platform and failed to advise the conscripts to desert, the radical anti-militarist faction and Anarchists, who were present in great strength, raised pandemonium. In spite of the racket Prof. Herve proceeded ot deliver his address. The noise and turmoil were so great. however, that it was impose sible to hear what he said beyond learning that he explained his fam- ous phrase about planting the flag in a manure heap as a reference to an imperial, not a republican flag. He declared that his sole error had been in allowing himself to be dubbed anti~patri0tic. He denied that he was an anti-militarist, and said he believed that it was only possible to effect a social revolution with the assistance of the 'army, and to secure this the schools must be captured first. . mfâ€"‘l‘ 'Wm.

A despatch from Cobalt says: After shooting three times at George Wilkes, proprietor of the Ottawa House here, this evening, and thinking he had killed him, J. K. (Curley) McDonald, a young American from the Adirondack re- gion, stepped outside and shot him- self through the brain, dying in- stantly. Wilkes had garnisheed McDonald’s wages at the Nipissing' Mine, and McDonald’s grievances rose over the action. Wilkes threw himself on the floor, exclaiming, “I’m gone,” when Mc- Donald fired the third shot. He es- caped the three shots, one barely burning the skin of his hip. The affair occured in the Ottawa House, and the suicide was committed a few feet from its door. McDonald came to Cobalt and lived for some time under the alias of H. 0.

A d-espa-tch from Guelph says: “That William Bell came to his dearth on September 25, while in a state of temporary insanity, by be- ing run over by a G.T.R. train at Trainor’s Cut, and that no blame be attached to any one,” was the verdict arrived at by the" jury who inquired into the death of William Bell, one of Guelph’s most promi- nent citizens, whose body was found mangled beyond recognition on the G.T.R. track about two miles east of the city last week. that lANll DEAL lN W551 Lord Joicey Obtains 24,000 Acres of Mixed Farm and Dairy Land for $450,000.

A despatch from Toronto says: The industrial expansion of the province is strikingly shown in the annual report for 1911 of the Secre- tary and Registrar of Ontario. During the twelve months 825 com- panies came into existence, while licenses to .do business in the pro- vince were granted to 125 compan- ies incorporated outside Ontario. Most of the licenses were issued to companies incorporated under the Federal Act, but a large number represented the appearance of Bri- fish and United States enterprises. Eighty-nine older companies found it necessary to apply for au- thority to raise additional capital to take care of the demand for their output._ ‘ The revenue received by the de- partment from the granting of char- ters and from licenses reached the highest total in the history of the provmce â€" $236,662.10.

A despatch from Ottawa says: A rush of settlers and prospectors dver the trail from Lac la Biche to Fort McMurray this summer is re- DOl‘ted by S. H. Clarke, of the For- ' estry Department, who has just re- turned to Ottawa. Fort McMurâ€" ray, which ‘is on the Athabasca R1- ver, is over two hundred miles north-east of Edmonton. and the Alberta capital is the nearest railâ€" way point. Despite this adventure, some homeseekers and prospectors are pressing northward along the two hundred mile trail. The Fort McMurray country, although so far north, is reported to have good agâ€" ricultural land, while it is said to be'rich in micnrals. Mr. Clarke, with a party of for-esters, has been investigating the timber possibili- , ties in the country between Lac la Biche and Fort MoMurray. It is thickly covered with poplar and pine, which would make the best of pulpwocd, but the timber is not large enough for commercial purâ€" poses. Another party from the Forestry Department is exploring north along the Edson Trail. Pre- liminary reports, which have been received by the department show that there is splendid [timber in the Girouard district, in Lesser Slave Lake. THE LATE RT.

A despatch from London says: A portrait which has hung for years in the back room of a house at New- port, in Mo-nmouthshire, and whose value has never been guessed, turns out to be Ga‘insborough’s pic- ture of the Duke of York, which was painted for George III. in 1784. The owner of the painting on seeing Benjamin West’s reproduc- tion of the picture of the Duke of York was struck by the resemblance of the two faces, and this led to the discovery that the portrait at New- port was the original. Gainsborâ€" ough’s signature is on the right hand corner at the bottom. 1...,_.___. 350 SHOTS A MINUTE. New Automatic Rifle Invented by An Italian Monk. A despatch from Rome says: A monk of the name of Mario Bon- tempi, a teacher of physics and mathematics in the monastery at Lane-lama, in the Province of Chieti, has. abandoned monasticism to ex- ploit an automatic rifle which he has invented. He claims that the weapon will fire 350 shots a minute. Bontempi wanted to patent his rifle and offer it to the Italian Gov- ernment, but his superiors ordered him to destroy the plans and speci- fications of such a murderous wea- pon. He refused to do this, and is now negotiating with the War Ofiioe. .a. E SENTENCE retainers W. A. Ferguson Convicted by Jury at Detroit for,”- the Murder of Herbert. Although himself admitting that he had shot- down a fellow man in cold blood and notwithstanding that the murder was witnessed by at least half a dozen persons, William A. Ferguson, slayer of Herbert H. Herbert, the Canadian immigration inspector, will escape the death penalty. Ferguson’s trial ended at 3.25 o’clock Friday afternoon when, after concluding arguments by the Government and the defence, the case went to the jury. Dcliberatiug a little more than half an hour, the verdict was returned finding Ferguâ€" son “guilty of murder in the first degree “without capital punish- me-nt.” Judge Sessions then pronounced sentence as follows :â€"“The verdict of the jury is a fair one and there is only one sentence which I can pronounce. The sentence of the court is that you be confined in the federal prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, with hard‘dabor for the rest of your natural life.” A despatch from Detroit says: The prisoner displayed not the slightest sign of feeling. His hard, lined face, which a several days’ growth of board only made appear the more dogged, was turned to- wards the bench where the judge sat. ‘ His gnarled fingers twitched convulsiver once or twice, but beâ€" yond this there was nothing to in- dicate that he had a full apprecia- tion. of his position. In his closing plea for the dc. fence, Attorney James H. Pound painted a word picture of the cir- cumstances which led up to and which caused Ferguson to take the life of Inspector Herbert. “Here was a British subject longing to get“ back to his native land,” he said. “But as he touched foot upon Can- adian shores he was met by these petty officials and turned back, re- jected and insulted. For this, and for the affection he showed his coun- try, William A. Ferguson is being put behind walls of steel and stone for_the remainder of his life.” The main argument of the counsel for defence was justification.

A despatch from Japan says: Damage exceeding $20,000,000 was caused by the typhoon which swept Japan from end to end on Sunday, while the loss of human life was very heavy, .and tens of thousands are homeless. . The storm was the worst that has occurred here for over half a cen- tury, according to reports that have just reached the capital, which has been practically cut off from the rest of the country for days. Crop-s suffered severely everywhere, but the greatest damage was done in the neighborhood of the cities of Nagoya, Nara, and Osaka 011 the Island of Hondo and in Gifu.
