TORONTO, March 2o.-The parliamentary
Committee on Privileges and Elections met
to-day. Among the audience was the
American consul. H. P. Dwight, genera
manager of the Great Northwestern telegraph
company, was called upon to produce tele-
grams sent by the accused since January He
requested delay until to morrow to give
him time to consult counsel as to the legality
of producing the matter called for The de-
lay was granted. Theodore Goldie, of
Guelph, testified that Wilkinson wanted him
to assist in getting Laidiaw, a member of the
Legislature, to support a coalition minister,
offering to secHrs for Lsidlaw an appointment
to an office In the northwest if he did so.
Goldie declined to have anything to do with
it. Robert McK1m. one of those approached,
stated that early in the session he met Will
kinsOn, who knew that he was In financial
difficulty and promised him the reeistrarship
at Edmonton to vote against the government.
s'We ultimately settled that I was
to get 81, 600 and the Office. One thousand
was to be paid when had voted and the

agreeable to me. 1 met Mr.. Bunting at the
Mail Office at II o'clock at night He said
he knew all about Wilkiuson's arrangement
with me, but owing to his position he could
not put his name to the paper, but assured
me that whatever Wilkinson and pr..s1f
agreed npon would be carriaa So

consnise.oner would do nothing about his
..95se matter, but the leader of the oppo-
sition had promised to bring the matter before
the House. Kirkland offered me $3 900 for
my support. Some 6me after I met Bum
ting, who said he had been to Ottawa and
had now power to defeat the government. I
told him what Kirkland had promised and he
told me to get all could from the Yankee.
subsequently Kirkland offered me $3.50 to
vote in favor of his timber resolutions, which
I did not take. Last Sunday wilkinson
called at my room and counted out ten 800
bank bills and handed me a Round. Robin

Extra Men on GuRrd-Ths Precautions
to Head on the Dynam1ters.
OTTAWA, March 20.-The guards about the
Parliament buildings were again doubled last
night. At Rideau Hall, the residence of the
governor general, the guard has been
strengthened and no stranger is permitted to
remain on the ground unless under escort ef
the police. Detectives are on duty at each
of the city hotels watching new arrivals and
keeping under surveillance several parties
against whom suspicion has been directed.
It is believed the Speaker of the House of
Commons has received several threatening
letters within the past few days. There was
considerable excitement in the House this
morning over the discovery of O'Oonovan
Rossa's paper in the desk of prominent
member of Parliament who is supposed to be
a sympathizer with Ireland's wrongs He
denied any knowledge of how the paper got
there and says that it is put up job on the
part of his opponents to place him in false
position.

Boston, March 20 Dwight sturtevant,
one of Boston's best known characters, was
found dead in bed this morning in his pri-
vate apartment. He was forty-four years
old. His father, Newell Sturtevant, ae-
eumulated large fortune and left it to his
sons, Eugene, Dwight and Newell, and his
widow. The share of each son was 800, 900.
Dwight Immediately set up gorgeous suite
of rooms which were open to all
his companions aud began to make
il his only business to spend his
fortune. Principal and interest went togeth-
er and in a few years he was almost penni-
less. In 1867 Mrs. Sturtevant died and
Dwight secured from her estate another slice
of $12, 500. This disappeared in one year
and the spsndthrift had only a mesgre i'm
come from trust property to support him
He has of late lived in comparative poverty

Political Strawg-The Standing eff Loga m,
Tilden and BIaine-The Case of citx
John Porter.
Boston, March 20.-Washington specials
to the journal say: General Grants house
is besieged with callers. He sees a great
many people. His health seems to be fully
restored except that he is somewhat lame.
He speaks very frseiy upon the politica
situation. but does not desire to appear in
print. He this morning expressed his opiD-
ion that Blaine would lead upon the first
ballot, but he declared himself very earnest
ly in favor of the nomination of Logan.
A gentleman who has had very intimate
relations with MIR. Tilden says that before
the meeting of the New York State conven-
ton Tilden will formally announce that he
is not to be considered as a candidate for the
presidency.
A Blaine club has been organized here
with d. B. Stockbridge, of Maine, president,
the avowed object of which is ito use ali
honorable means to secure the election of
James G. Blaine to the position accorded
him by the hearts of the people of these
United States, viz, the exalted executive of
the nation.'
A gentleman who is very near the Presi-
dent says that the Fitz John Porter bill will
be vetoed. The reason assigned is that the
President in pardoning him restored him to
his civil rights and that he has seen nothing
in the new evidence to convince him that he
should be restored to the army. This state
ment comes from gentleman who is entirely
Trustworthy, who has no interest in the ease
is rot in politics and who says he heard it
from the Presidents own lips.

The Wonders OF EIectrfcity-A Gsner-
ator That Promises To Bring About
1 Great Results
CHICAGO, March 20.-Prominent electri-
clans and representatives OF electric lighting
companies from all parts of the country met
at the office of the Balm Electric company
| this afternoon to give public exhibition of q
new electric generator invented by Force
Balm. The general verdict was that the in
vention was great and marvellous advance in
the history Of the generation of electricity,
which must of necessity bring electric light
Ing into general use. At the exhibition one
generator supplied an electric current to six
lights, each of two thousand candle power.
The generator was run by a single leather
belt dve-eighths of an inch wide, running at
q speed Of two Thousand feet per minute,
giving one Thousand revolutions to the gen.
orator. Elliott's indicator card showed that
but one horse power was expended ia driving
the generator. The second test demonstrated
that the generator can work both the arc and
incandescent lights at the same time and in
dependently can supply current to sixty |
lamps. In the third test q six. |
light dynamo was connected with the Balm |
motor, which ran powerful two stamp ore |
crushing mill at high rate of speed with |
perfect ease, showing that the only loss from |
the original energy was that due to friction, |
which was about three per cent. The exhi- |
bition was a wonderful and unexpected sue |
cess. It was announced that John H Ladd |
d Co. of London, who control the foreign |
patents, will shortly exhibit the generator In |
London and Paris. |

one Of the music houses would have
accepted the partition had it not been
for the illustrious Berlioz, who advis-
ed him not to touch it at the price de-

thickly shroudcd in snow to-day. has
no equal in architectural view on the

the Santa Eulala mine, which, mp to
1929, or'the date of the expulsion of
the SpanlardS from Mexico, has yielded
s21j,OOO,O0O. The grand cathedral
was constructed by tax forced on tie
mine of one real or twelve and one
half cents, ont of each marc, or every

of Spain. The eliGce cost Sl,000,OO0.
Doubtless another $250,Q0O was con-
trlDuted by the people IN labor and

to erect it in our time. The corner
stone was laid in l72j.
Architectura!ly, the grand cathe

Gently symmetrical proportions are tc
