The steamer Lintonia is an ideal craft for such a trip, and the genial cap- tain and his stall did everything in their power for the comfort of his passengers. Many of the passengers had provided their own lunches, and those who had not were able, to get an excellent dinner on board the steamer. The trip through Sturgeon Lake, through the river approaching Penelon Falls, through the locks, Cameron Lake, Rosedale and Bal- sam Lake with their beautiful scen- erw was very much enjoyed, and Co- boconk was reached about 2, p.m., where an hour was spent investigat- ing: the industries of that classic vil- lage, which also has become one of the most popular summer resorts in the Kawartha district.

There was an outburst of growling and warnings against the King by the Liberal papers yesterday. To peo- ple who do not understand English conditions, it might have looked as though the monarchy were threaten- ed. But this happens inevitably un- der similar circumstances.

Sir Edward Carson and John Red- mond are not in the conference as free agents. They represent their supporters, the Orange Ulstermen and the Catholic Nationalists re- spectively. and both Irish factions are in an attitude of no surrender. Parliamentary experts assert that if such an agreement is laid before the House of Commons it will be deâ€" feated, because Mr. Asquith’s major- ity is dependent upon the Irish and and Labor members, with several bolting Liberals, will vote against it. Under those circumstances a general election must follow, and so convinc- ed re the Unionists of a general elec ion that they have sent messages to all the party workers to be pre- pared for such an election within three weeks. The fac‘. that the Prime Minister considered it necessary to resort to such a conference is hailed by his op- ponents as a virtual surrender on his part. His opponents prophesy and his Radical supporters fear that he will consent to Carson's loudly proclaimed ultimatum of a. clear-cut exclusion of the whole of Ulster from the project- ed new Irish Government. The Conservatives have the Ulster covenanters. represented in the con- ference by Sir Edward Carson and Capt. James Craig, to reckon with, and Premier Asquith cannot deliver any goods without the ccnsent of the Home Rule leaders. Redmond and D.ilon.
