ALARM IN CANADA.

Charge of High Treason.

Edward Farrer May be Tried on a
Charge of High Treason.
TORONTO, March 16.-It is understood
the Government is considering what it
should do with such men as Edward
Farrer. A firm of Toronto solicitors has
been at work investigating his conduct,
and some weeks ago they advised the
Government that he came well within the
law relating to high treason. AS the law
now is, a representative of the firm says,
there would be no difficulty in securing
his conviction ON the charge of high trea-
son. Whether the Government will 60
this far is yet to be decided. A report
says if the authorities do move, they will
probably move against some others who
are members of Parliament. Any pun
ishment that may be meted out to them
viii be in the nature of banishment
rather than confinement.
It is also said that the Government is
being urged to ask Lord Salisbury to sta
ton in Canada from five to ten British
regiments, quartering them in Halifax,
Quebec, Montreal, Toronto. Winnipeg
and Vancouver. 1t is argued that the
presence of these regiments in Canada
would do more to put down annexation
lists and put check to their conspiracy
than any thing else could do.

DUBLIN, March 16.-Timothy Healy,
during speech at Newry yesterday, said:
'When Parnell was wanted at the Ten
ants Defense League meetings he always
had acold. The air of Dublin did not agree
with him, but the seaside air of Bright
on did. The decree of divorce granted
Captain O'Shea had afflicted Parnell with
political ophthalmia. But the most re-
Voting thing in the whole business was
that Parnell seemed to think they were
all fools; he could not remember the diff
ference between Parnell, the untainted
leader, and Parnell of 1917
Referring to Parnell's pretended SYM
pathy" for the workingmen, Mr.. Healy
said it would be remembered that during
the dock strike, speaking to the late Mr.
Biggar, who first pointed out to him the
misfortune Parnell was trying to bring
on Ireland, he (Healy) suggested that
funds be given to aid the strikers. Big
gar said he had written twice to Parnell
urging him to make a donation toward
the strike fund, but Parnell did not an
swer. Biggar then remarked: 81 Won
der what Parnell's politics really are ?''
As far back as 1881 Biggar wrote to Par

his conduct with Mrs. O'Shea.

CLEVELAND (O.), March 16.-The Epis-
copal Church, which tried Rev. Howard
MacQueary on charge OF heresy, to-day
voted him guilty-three to two. On the
question of punishment Revs. Gallagher
and Smith voted to let him go scot free.
Mr.. Aves thought he should be sus-
pended, while Morgan and Putnam voted
for his expulsion.
The verdict means that MacQueary will
leave the church. The opinion of the
court has not yet been made public.
Macs9ueary is rector of the Episcopal
Church at Canton, Ohio. The cause of
his arraignment for heresy was book he
wrote, in which he denied immaculate
conception and the physical resurrection
of Christ. He held, in brief, that Gods
spirit entered Christ and made him per-
feet man, and that when he arose from
the dead it was a spiritual and not a
