DOMINION CONVENTION.
Liberals Talk About Free Trade
and Annexation

OTTAWA, June 21.-Eight hundred
delegates, nearly double those expected,
gathered in the Liberal convention yes
terday. The enthusiasm and the
weather were equally hot, Sir Oliver
Mowatt was chairman, and his speech
was the feature of the afternoon session.
The Ontario premier urged the most
radical measures or tariff reform and a
sweeping measure of reciprocity with
the United States. He said some op-
ponents of the Liberals accused them of
feeling so strongly OH this point that if
they could not get relief otherwise they
(the Liberals) were ready to go in for
annexation to the States. He dsnied
that the mass of the party would toler-
ate any such idea. He was confident
that the party was solid for British con-
nectionS. This declaration was received
with silence by the convention, but the
tacl that Mowatt read the speech from
manuscript i'll a somewhat weak voice
made his whole address fall fiat.
At the evening ST ssion Mr.. Laurier
addressed the convention. He quoted
census figures showing how many Cana
dams had gone to the States in ten
years, and he aScrDed this chiefly to
the eXtortlonate tariff. This had led
many to speculation as to Canada's
future. He continued to mention Cana
da's three possible futures. They were:
Union with the motherland the conven-
ton received this with silencel; there
was independence (cheersl and
there was union with the great
country to the south. This
also received some cheers Mr..
Laurier then went into the subject of
high tariff. He SAID the Liberal party
was clear on the issue it set before the
people. That was free trade opposed
to the rascally policy of protee-
tion for protection's sake. The
C rcumstances developed by high
tariff rendered it impossible TO
reach the ideal at once, but from this
time forward let the Liberal party set
steadily before it, for years if necessary.
the achievement of this ideal. He pro-
ceeded to emphasize the desirability of
trade reciprocity with the states, and
declared that if the interests of Eng
land and Canada were Incompatible, he,
for one, must take his stand as Can
adian.

FIXED AT $4,000.
Board OF Public Works Deter
mines Indian Mound Park
Value.
OF This Sum. $4,000 Will Be
Assessed Upon Benefited
Property.

The board of public works yesterday
completed the assessment roll for the
purchase of Indian Mound park, and
the clerk was directed to give confirma-
ton notices of the same. The damages
or purchase price allowed the owners
of the property to be taken for the
park by the board is $4,000. Of this
amount $4,000 is paid from the park
land func, leaving $4,000 to be assessed
against the property benefited. The
sum allowed by the board is about half
the value placed on the property by one
set of experts, and is $4,000 less than
the figure determined by the board be-
fore any evidence was taken. The
amount allowed is also $4,000 more than
the value fixed by the valuation CON-
mittee from the real estate exchange.
The amount TO be raised by assessment.
$4,000. will make the average assess
ment to owners of forty-fOOt lots about
$3.50, although the property within a
radius OF several blocks from the park
is assessed much higher. the assess
ments ranging from 500 to $500 per lot.
In case the owners of the property to be
taken are not satisfied with the amount
allowed them, they have the privilege
of aDDpalln9 TO the courts

rR1uMPH OF sIoL1p1rY

"When the vote was announced the
opponents of the bill filled the hall with
their shouts. They danced about like
lot of savages celebrating the .butchery
of an innocent victim," says the Chi
cago Herald, describing the defeat OF
measure in the Illinois legislature. Ard
what was the measure whose defeat
caused such rejoicing? What great and
baneful disaster was averted by the
faithfulness of these loyal and patriotic
legislators? 1t was the Torrens land
title bill. And what is that, measure
of confiscation? Was it bill to un-
settle the titles of the homesteadS of
men? Nothing of the sort. 1t was
bill whose sole purpose was to make
those titles more secure; to remove the
possibility of their ever being disturbed
by people claiming through defects of
title or on title rights on which they
have slept for years; bill to relieve
home buyers of that ever-growing incu-
bus. an abstract of the title, growing by
what it feeds on, and its expensive ae-
compartment, the lawyers opinion of
the validity of the title shown by the
abstract. 1t proposed that all this
real estate litigation, which embraces
so per cent of the business of the courts,
should stop by removing the cause of it.
That was all that this bill proposed
whose defeat was celebrated by its op-
ponents with shouts and dancing.
In one of the wards of the city hos
pital today there is resident of this
city. an old gentleman, who was unfort-
innate enough to invest nearly all his
means some years ago in a large num-
Der of city lots. He has used up all his
other means in paying taxes and assess
ments on the property. Stricken re-
Gently with sickness, homeless and with
out relatives here, he was without
money, and he was bundled off to the
CITY hospital for treatment. A friend
made an effort to raise money on the
lots owned by the patient, so as to re-
move him to a hospital where he would
not be an object of charity. He was told
that it was impossible to get cent on
the security of the lots. Not that they
were valueless, not that money was not
| to be had, but because the title was
in dispute. How and why disputed?
Why, way back in the fifties some one
who owned the acres sold and conveyed
them without his wife joining him in
the deed, or some other ancient link
was defectiyely wrought. He got his
price for the land; it was all it was
worth; the wife had the benefit of the
money as much as wives ever have, and
tue heirs come now, or rather are found
now by some speculative lawyer, to

PrecOciOus Bows.

Two precocious lads are Charles and
Willie King, and last night they both
occupied the same cell at the centra
station. Charles is twelve and Willie
seven years of age. Yesterday after
noon the ticket agent at the union depot
was astonished, and it takes something
out of the ordinary to do this, when the
eldest of the lads asked for TWO tickets
for Omaha. AT the same time the boy
pulled from his pocket a roll of bills
and inquired the price. Patrolman Nc
Carthy, who is detailed at the depot, was
called to the ticket Office and the kids
taken to the central station. To Desk
Sergeant Horn they told how they
found the money in their yard at $50
Rice street. and having relatives in
Omaha, decided to make them visit.
When searched at the station S79.60
was found in their possession. Later it
was learned the money had been stolen
from their father. Charles King. In
order to punish the boys they were kept
at the station ali night.

ANOTHER PASSENGER CUT.
Now Only $25 Between ST. Paul
and North Pacific Points.


Passenger rates to the Pacific coast
are still Oh the downward grade. When
the Great Northern. On the 14th inst,
made the first cut, the action was taken
late in the day, and the notification,
though promptly sent to the Northern
Pacific. did not reach the officials Of
that road until the next day. On that
day the Northern Pacific promptly met
the cut. This cut reduced fares from
st. Paul to Puget sound points from $50
to S35, first-class. Yesterday the Great
Northern went into BUSINESS again, and
announced that 1.-The continuance of the
conditions under which this traffic pre-
viously moved necesstates further Ie-
adjustment of rates to and from North
Pacific coast points," and accordingly
reduced the rates from S35 to S25 first
class, and from S25 to S18 second-class,
effective June 25.
As soon as the notification of this re-
duction reached the Northern Pacific,
an order was issued by that company,
effective also June 25, meeting the cut,
so that both tranScontinental lines will
sell tickets at the same rates.
This may not be the end of ii. The
Great Northern may conclude that ''the
continuance of the conditions" demands
a still further readJustment of rates and
go to work to cut to S18 for tirst-class
tickets to Pacific coast points. The $25
rate is less than one-and-One-half cents
per mile for its line.

MOBILES CRUSHED.
Part of Circus Wrecked by the
Dynamite Explosion in
Madrid.
Two Young Aristocrass Killed. by
Falling Walls ami in the
Panic

4 MADRID, June 21.-At the time of the
explosion at the residence of Senor
Canova del Castillo last night circus
5 was being given near that place. The
shock was so great thatit caused part
of the ceiling directly over the stalls
ttat were occupied by party of mobiles
to crash down upon the neads of the
occupants of the stalls. Blinded by the
dust that filed the air, with the roar
of the explosion still reverberatlng
through the building, the people were
panic-Stricken and made rush for the
exits, paying no attention to those who
were unlucky enough to stumble and
fall. but trampling upon them in fran
tic efforts to escape. Among the occu-
pants OF the stage was the grandson OF
the Marquis of Havana, president of the
senate, and son OF Marquis Guadelest.
The former was struck on the head by a
large piece of the falling ceiling, and
sustained injuries that will cause his
death in a few hours. The son of Mar
euis Guadelest attempted to rush
from the building. but lost his
footing, and the panic-sricken crowd
trampled him to death. His body was
later removed from the building. His
ldC6 was Hdiuly ItCOS SHlLdUl0. CCfCu
other persons were also trampled upon
by the crowd and seriously injured,
while large number OF those who es
capped unaided from the building SuS-
tanned painful but not dangerous in
jurleS.
1t is generally believed that the ex-
plosion was the work of anarchists
whose headquarters are at Barcelona.
The affair is supposed to have some
connection with the plans of the revolu
tionistS in Barcelona, where the op-
ponents of the government have been
very active of late. The arrests, it is
said, will be principally made among
men employed in the printing offices
which are devoted to the publication of
anarchisiic documents. The wounded
accomplice of the dead bomb thrower
has made partial confession. Under
pressure from the police, the man,
whose name is Suarez, admitted that
the dead man was an anarchist named
Ruiz, and that he carried at the time OF
the explosion bottle containing gum
powder and shot. Five more anarchists
have been arrested in this city, and
seventeen in Barcelona for completely

COMMITTEES WILL WAIT.
But Interest Is High in the Sixth
Street Bridge Matter.


In a communication to the council
Tuesday night number of property
owners interested in the assessment for
the Sixth street bridge called the atten-
ton of the members to a mistake on the
part of City Treasurer Miller. The
error consisted III not crediting to the
fund S325.97. which had been paid in the
treasury between June l, 1892, and
January l. 1898. The property own
ers claim the sum should have
been credited to the Sixth
street bridge fund, but instead
of so doing the city treasurer is at
tempting to retain the excess amount
extorted, and by placing it in another
fund prevent it from being returned to
those to whom it belongs. When asked
about the matter yesterday, Mr.. Miller
explained that the money was interest
and penalties. and consequently it was
not proper 20 credit it to the bridge
fund. Just what authority Miller had
for not crediting the amount to the
proper fund will probably be brought
out before the special aldermanic com
mittee appointed to consider the request
Of the property owners.
In this connection the special Joint
committee to whom the report of the
public examiner. as to the books in the
treasurer's office, has been referred, has
concluded to wait until it can be seen
what will be the outcome of the Sixth
street bridge matter, which involves the
principal questions at issue, and which
is now before the common council and
the courts. EX-City Treasurer Refs has
prepared a detail report in which all
improvements contained in the report of
the examiner are arranged in alphabet
ical order, classified into groups accord
ing to the nature of the case. with
explanations for each, together with
copies of decisions of the courts affect
ing the same, also copies of communica-
tIons from the board of public works,
city attorneys. committees of ways and
means and other papers covering the
matter, involving much work and la
Dorious search. 1t covers about forty
two pages. and was ready for the com
mittee several days ago, but on account
Of the similarity of the questions in
volved, with those Of the SIKH street
bridge case, the committee preferred to
wait until that had been acted upon.
The committee probably will meet next
Monday.
