ALL OUT FOR BLAKE.


He Would Satisfy Many Canadians a. .
Member Of the House Of Commons
What Some of His Friends Have to
Say ON tho Subject
OTTAWA, ONT, June 16.-( Special 1-The
offer of a seat in the British House of Com
mons to Hon. E Blake by the Home Rule
party has created no surprise among the
Liberal leaders, who for some time have
known that it was likely to be made. Re
ferring to the probabilities of Mr.. Blake en-
tering British politics, Hon. Laurier, who
succeeded Mr.. Blake as leader of tho Lib
eral party in the Dominion Parliament,
said: "We can hardly afford to lose him in
Canada, but if he enters the British House
of Commons he will soon rise to the front
and be of great assistance"
David Mills, colleague of Mr.. Blake in
the Mackenzie government, said: MI.
Blake can be of greater service to the Irish
party, and to Mr. Gladstone, in shaping
Home Rule bill, than any other man, SO far
as know, on either side Of the Atlantic.
His thorough acquaintance with the Federal
system will make his services invaluable if
he accepts the offer. Of course, he should
be q member of the Government, having
upon it the responsibility of settling the
Irish question.
L. II. Davies said: 'T don't believe that
Mr.. Blake would accept the invitation of
the home rulers unless backed by the re-
quest of Mr. Gladstone. If it were so backed
it would mean, in the event of Gladstone
being returned to power, that Mr.. Blake
would have position in the Cabinet From
Mr. Blake's thorough knowledge of the
federal system of government, his services
to Mr.. Gladstone in the framing Of home
rule bill cannot we'll be overestimated Mr..
Blake has on more than one occasion moved
home rule resolutions in the Dominion Par
lament He refused an offer of knighthood
from Queen Victoria"

BLOCKED AT BATTLE HARB0R.
An Unusually Open Winter At Labrador
Causes Much Suffering.

Causes Much Suffering.
HALIFAX, June 16. 6.-[SpeciaL THE first
news received at St. Johns, N. F., from the
northern region of the island, since last fall,
was by the steamer Panther She had been
blockaded at Battle Harbor BY gale which
continued for 21 days without intermission,
the result being that the heaviest jam of ice
ever seen in that locality was piled up on
the shore. Late last week it shifted, and on
Monday she was enabled to start, and
worked her wav out through the ice, which
she got clear of 40 miles E. S. E OF Belle
Isle.
The past winter was very mild one on
the Labrador coast, and very few seals were
caught. Much starvation and misery has
been experienced among the people on the
northern coast, and at Seal Island, Spotted
Island, Somions, etc, they have suffered
terribly, having scarcely any food, and as
Battle Harbor and Cartwright. where it
could be obtained, were not accessible to
the unfortunate people, owing to the heavy
ice, their situation was deplorable.

provided
Dogs lived almost entirely on them,
as did the domestic fowls, assuming the
habits of rapacious birds The cats all
left the houses to live in the fields.
Tyrant birds and cucl1oos seemed to
prey on nothing else.
Foxes, weasels and opossums Jared
sumptuously and even the common
armadillo turned mouser with great
success. StorlIs and short-eared owls
gathered 10 the feast, so that fifty of
the latter birds could often be seen at
once, and they got fat and bred in the
middle of the winter, quite out of their
proper season, in consequence.
The following winter was a time OF
drought, the grass and herbage had all
been consumed or was burnt up, and
the mice, having no shelter, soon fell a
prey to their numerous enemies and
were almost wholly exterminated.
