that would have been accorded yesterday

morning. The arrival of the early trains
was followed oy general rush for the

official correspondence therein caused

Mr. ODunnclIs views were reached by
several Of the men in the meeting, notably
by Burgess McLuckie, who strongly adj

tended to the troops. Tho question came
