what they should do. The fire had
driven the men who were fighting 1T
back almost to their own DOORS Find
ing their efforts to fight the fire under
control useless, the men turned their
attention to their homes. The flames
at this time were not over
a quarter of mile distant.
1t did not take long to remove half of
their household goods across the street
and down into the open fields. None
too soon was this accomplished, as the
hre burst out of the woods and ignlted
the houses, which were soon reduced TO
ashes. A strong westerly wind
aided in the destruction. All the
wooded land In the direction of the
short road was burned over. The fire
worked its way then in northerly di-
rection. At o'clock the wind had
gone down, which assisted the efforts
made to get the fire under control. Still
1t was hard work, the water being
scarce and many OF the men out in the
bay clam and oyster dredging. The
hre gradually worked its way
to the town Of Port Repub-
lie. 1t is estimated that the
loss in timber alone will exceed 800, 900.
The following property is known to be
included in the destruction: William
GetZe, house and furniture; Fred
GetZe, one house and stable. with con-
tents; Charles MatheS, stable and con-
tents; Turner Smith, house and house

Five Thousand Men Expected to
Strike at ST. Louis.
ST. LOUIS, April 30.-If the develop
ments in the labor situation can be said
to be forerunner of what is to happen
tomorrow, one of the most serious
strikes in the history of st. Louis is i'm
minent. The number of men who will
so out Will number fully 5000. The
carpenters council has received no
tlce from the headquarters OF the Bro
therhood of Carpenters and JOiners, at
Philadelphia, warning the members to
stay away from East st. Louis on
and after May l, as the prospect of
trouble there is very imminent. The
men, it seems, have been preparing
for the trouble on the east side of the
river. as well as in st. Louis proper.
Their strength in East St. Louis is eSti-
mated at 700, which includes the work.
men in several of the surrounding towns
and villages. This matter has been
kept very quiet. but it is understood in
labor circles in this city that the bosses
VIII tomorrow morning be presented
with demand that eight hours consti-
tute days work at the old pay for ten
hours. The first definite information
given out in regard to the affair was
this morning, from which time strenu-
Gus efforts have failed to receive either
confederation OF denial that May day
strike will occur. The st. Louis carpen-
terS have received warning not to
cross the Mississippi in search of work,
which makes it evident that trouble is
anticipated

morning all the coal shafts in this vicin-

men will be out of employment. 1t is
understood there is no strike at present,
but no contracts for the coming year
have yet been made between the oper-

effected no coal will be mined here. In
interviews with several of the promi-
nent oal operators your correspondent
was given to understand that operators
are willing to pay last years prices and
eight-hour day does not figure in the

their action is given except that the

CANADIAN PARLIAMENT.
Tne Governor-General's Speech a
the Opening Session.

- q IL
the Opening Session.
OTTAWA, Ont, April 3O.-His Excel
lency, the governor general, opened the
first session of the Seventh parliament
of the dominion Of Canada with the fol-
lowing speech:
Honorable gentlemen of the senate
and gentlemen of the House of com
mons: | am glad to welcome you to
the first session of the new parliament,
which, hope, will be memorable for its
wise deliberations and for the measures
adapted 10 the progress and develop
ment Of the dominion. My advisers,
availing themselves of the oppor-
tunities which were presented in
the closing months of last year, caused
the United States to be notified of
the Willingness of the government of
Canada to join in making efforts for the
extension and development of trade be-
tween the republic and the dominion, as
well as for a friendly adjustment of
those matters of an international char
acter, which remain unsettled. | am
pleased to say that these representa-
tions have resulted in an assurance that
in October next the government of
the United States will be prepared to
enter on conference to consider
the best means of arriving ata practical
solution of these questions. The pa
pers relating to this subject will be laid
before you. Under these circumstances,
and in the hope that the proposed con-
ference may result in arrangements
beneficial to both countries, you will be
called upon to consider the expediency
of extending, for the present season, the
principal provisions of the protocol an
neXed to the Washington treaty of
1888, known as the modus yivendi
A disposition having been manifestedin
the United Kingdom to impose upon
seagolng ships engaged in the cattle
trade increased safeg yards for the life
and greater restrictions against the i'm
proper treatment of cattle, careful in
Quiry has been made as 10 the incidents
of that trade in so far as this country is
concerned. While | am glad to learn
that our shipping is free from reproach
IN that regard, your attention will be
invited to a measure which will re-
move all reasonable apprehension of
abuses arising in the future in connec-
tlon with so important branch of our
commerce. You will be asked to con-
slider amendments to the acts relating
to the Northwest territories, TO the eX-
chequer court act and to the acts relat-
ing to trademarks. Gentlemen of the
house of commons: The accounts for
the past year will be submitted to you.
The revenue, after providing for the
service to which you appropriated. has
left surplus for the works which you
designed to be carried on by capital ex-
penditure. The estimates for the COM
ing year will be laid before you at an
early date
