SENSATION IN CANADA.
Priests Charged With Being Politici'
and Receiving Brides.

Priests Charged With Being Politicians
and Receiving Bribes.
MONTREAL, April 25.-The Conservatives
have made Q charge that six priests At
tended the caucus OF the opposing party
the other evening. and serious accusation
has in consequence been laid before Arch
bishop Tabre against Able Redard, cure Of
Saint Constant. The cure is accused OF
having refused to give the Easter commun-
ion to . number of parishioners, because
they opposed his candidates at the munic-
ipal election in which he was interested.
The archbishop is said to have ordered an
inquiry.
The able was very active in politics at
the recent provincial elections. A number
CT his parishioners say they gave him
money which they received as brides to
vote for the Nationalist candidates. and
which their consciences would not allow
them to keep. The able, it is stated. will
say nothing about that until he appears in
court and is put on the witness stand. He
has also large number Of lawsuits against
him.
The probabilities are that great sensa-
ton will be caused by the revelations
threatened by the Conservative party which
will clearly show, it is believed. to what q
great extent the elections in Quebec are
practically controlled by the clergy, and, ii
is limited. usually for money considera-
tiOns.

CATION of workingmen appeared with .
petition from the Laborers' Benevolent

pioyment. bus wanted it understood that
he would not be coerced by them.
In the past" said Mr.. Butler. II
have had great deal of trouble with
union men. They would strike on me and
leave me in the lurch at times when could
ell afford to have work stopped"
Auditor Strother and City Attorney
Tourney seemed inclined to overlook the
fact that the law compeis the letting of
contracts to the lowest bidder irrespective
OF scabs. and the latter made . motion
that a clause should be inserted in all
future contracts providing that none but
union men should be employed. Mr.
Strother seconded the motion, which was
finally adopted.

LONDON, April 25.-H. A. H. Dunsford. .
prominent civil engineer. in pamphlet
just out. proposes to use dynamite in the
Northwest passage through the Arctic. He
says:
I'VE must remember that the ice is not
of great thickness, that we have powerful
explosives. and that every mass Of ice de-
tached in the course of the stream flowing
southwark will float away of itself. 1t is
within our power to make . channel wide
enough for part of the warm stream to pass
without losing all its heat on the way. The
main barrier with which We will have to
deal will be the belt of ice north and north
west of Greenland. OF course, until 1t is
completed the channel will freeze oyer
every winter, but don't think that the re-
moval OF the ice thus formed will Be so seri-
Gus difficulty rs might be expected"

STRIKE CONFERENCE CALLED

Chicago Carpenters Will Meet the Bosses
Strikers Grew Disorderly.
CHICAGO. April 25.-The joint committee
of striking carpenters and the new bosses
association have asked for Q conference
with the old bosses association with view
to . settlement of the strike. The confer
ence will probably be held tomorrow. 1t
is not probable that the old bosses will &C.
cede to the mems terms.
Numerous deeds of violence on the part
of strikers in various portions of the city
were reported today. In some instances
work done by non-union men has been
torn to pieces by subsequent raids OF the
striking carpenters.
