THE FUTURE OF CANADA.
LabOuchere Says it is Union With tn
United States or Secession.


LONDON, Dec. 30.-Truth, Henry La
bouchere's paper, to-day publishes an
article on Canada's future, drawn cut
by the troubles in the province
of Quebec. The paper says that it is
the manifest destiny Of the Dominion to
become a new United States or to be-
come attached to the great republic.
The change is inevitable and the
sooner it occurs the better. The
emancination of the grotesque domin-
ion and it's absorption by the United
States would be benefit to Cana
dams and also to Great Britain Such
a course would relieve Great Britain OF
the necessity of engaging ia transat-
lantic squabbles in which she has no
concern. The paper further says that
Canada once free, Australia would soop
follow

CALCUTTA, Dec. 31.-Advices from Gill
git, from which base of operations the
British forces have been operating
against the Hunza and Magyar
tribesmen, state that the ad-
vance movement recently inaugu-
rated by the British has been
successful, and that the town of Nunsea
has been occupied by the advance col
umn. The British will now be able to
complete their work of constructing a
railroad from Gilgit to the Pamirs,
which the Hunza and Magyar tribesmen
sought to prevent and this, upon the
completion of the road from Cashmere
to Gilgit, will afford an easy means of
access for the British to the Pamirs, the
country now in dispute between Great
Britain, Russia and China.

castlgatedJ. A. Cummings, manager of
Kate Reiily's fashionable dressmaking

Cummings had grossly insulted his wife,

also alleges that his wife and many
other young women were induced to
leave England by Kate Reilly's repre-
Sentatiyes, who promised them
large salaries, and also induced
them to smuggle large guam
titles of wraps and Partisan robes,
which Mr.. Wade claims was the only
object in bringing them over. He has
laid this information before the author

seized several robes, whlch,it is claimed,

PARIS, March 4.-The efforts of the

Since the explosion in the doorway of

Monday last, the police have been I'M
firing in their efforts to discover the

have been baffied and are no wiser now
than they were on the day of

activity to the quarters occupied by
them. Four miles north of Paris is the
village of Saint-Quen-sur-Seine, which
has a population OF II 900 people. Con-
siderable CONSERVATION was created in
the gendarmerie there this morning
by the discovery Of two dynamite cart
ridges which had been placed in the
doorway of that building. 1t had been
raining during the early morning hours,
and to this fact may be attributed the
averting of a!disastrous explosion. The
fuses of the cartridges had been ignited,
but the rain extinguished them. The
cartridges were powerful enough to
have blown the whole police barracks to
atoms

THREE BIG MISTAKES
Made by a Non-Partisan COnven'
ton at Northfield.

Special to the Globe
NoRrHFIELD, Mimi, March At is
doubtful if city ever found itself IN a
like predicament with that in which
Northfield finds itself. The city cleo
ton is set for next Tuesday. but it is
now found that the candidates for of
fees, nominated at citizens nOn-parti-
san caucus last week, were illegally
made, and that. therefore, even if the
candidates were elected next Tuesday,
they could not legally perform the func-
tons of their offices. The law provides
that nominations must be made by
political party representing at least
per cent of the voters of the political
district, or the certificates of nomina-
ton must be signed and attested by at
least the above number of voters. The
caucus which was held styled itself the
Non-Partisan party, therefore. it was no
political rganization-making mistake
No. l. Then again, the new Aus
traIian law provides that each certifi-
cate of nomination must be sworn to by
the presiding officers of the convention.
and neither was this done. In the third
place, the law states that sample ballots
mast be placed on examination at least
seven days before election, and this also
was neglected.

DULUTH, March 4.-The iron excite

down, but, on the contrary, it is increas-
ing. A large number of Cincin natl
people went up on the Mesaba range
Yesterday. and came back in ecstasies
over what they saw. The stocks today
have strengthened somewhat, especially
Charleston. The telegram received yes
terday by A. E. Humphreys. statlng
that fine quality of ore had been dis
covered eight feet below the surface on
the northern part of the Charleston
property gave those stocks quite lift,
prices going up from II to 1917. Today
Charleston was wanted badly at 1919,
and some are Offering l3. Hold
ers do not appear, however, very
anxious to sell. Considerable ore is
being found OIL the east side of the
Iron Range road, overtowardS the Yer
million range. The McKinleys, Hale
and Humphrey have been making eX-
tensive developments. The Stowell
Iron company owns fourteen valuable
forties in that neighborhOod, and i'm
portant news is expected from there
daily. The Duluth Iron and Mining
exchange has changed its name to the

slight change in its officers. retaining

and quarantine laws should be in the
hands of the states. The pending meas
ure was one of that brood of bills that
grew out of the feeling of paternallSm
which was spreading over the country.
The people of the United States were
being taught to go to congress for
everything million acres or
land to a paper OF pins. Ihey,
were rapidly having Their constitutional
power taken away from them; and
power was being vested in congress to-
day which had been intended by the
trainers of the constitution to be left to
the states exclusively. He was proud
to say that he believed in the constitu-
ton as construed By the supreme court
of the United States and did not be-
lieye in such legislation as was pro-
posed in the pending meas ufe. de De-
lieYed that that measure was prostltu-
ton of the commerce clause OF the con-
stitution in regard to the exercise or the
police powers OF the state, and for that
reason he would cheerfully cast his vote
against it.
Mr.. Paddock denied the statement
made several days ago that the bill was
aimed particularly at the cottonseed OIL
interest. He defied any one to point TO
one provision, line OF word in the Dill
that disseminated against any honest
and honestly branded article of food In
favor of any other such article. AS to
the extravaganza criticism that the Dill
would be used for imaginary political
purposes. it was serious matter me
said) to charge, even indirectly. that
those who were engaged in the formu-
lation and presentation of the bill and
the great body of the people who hon.
eStly demanded it's aSSage, were moved
chiefly by desire to lnaugur-
ate q cheap, hasty political
scheme for partisan uses Ii the
bill was of the character described.
all who were instrumental in pro-
noting it must have been moved by
partisan motives. Such was the logical
conclusion of the assertion No other
was possible. 1t was reflection, there
fore, OH state legislatures, boards OF
trade, great commercial associations,
farmers alliances, oranges and thou
sands of other honored citizens all over
the country who had Endorsed the
measure and agreed to its passage. That
was not the kind of argument which
would satisfy the country that the SEN
ators who made it were themselves
moved by other than political or selfish
motives. In conclusion he appealed to
the senate to help enact the bill into a
law.
Eulogies were then delivered in re-
spect to the memory of the late Repre-
sentative Lee, of Virginia, and the
senate adjourned till Monday.
