other political measures had nothing to do
with his presence at the capital In re-
sponse to a request for his views upon an
nexation Mr. Mercier said:

alone. There Is with us a strong feeling
for annexation under certain conditions
The dominating sentiment however, is for
a separation from England and a complete
Canadian independence
"While there are many strong argu-

pendence comes first II is, in fact, easier
to secure independence than annexation.
Annexation must be conducted by treaty,
and now E1S la1d would conduct the ne

mo; do not. believe that If Canada
should ask England to be absolved from
the crown control our request would be
granted. Once our independence isgained
we would then consider the advisabllity Of
union with the United States
"During my recent visit in England
talked with many Englishmen upon the
question Of our Independence. The gen.
eral sentiment of the Liberal party was
that we should have it. Many Conserva'
tives, too, expressed the same views.
"There are many cogent reasons for an
nexation, including the commercial bene

$50 and then 20 per cent. upon the value
Of a horse before he can ship 1t into

A FORGING EVANGELIST.
How Haarvey Blair" Worked the Re-
Iigious Racket in Richmond.

RICHMOND, April 13-The police OF
Richmond are looking for swindler cali
ing himself Harvey Blair and who claims
to hail from Minneapolis, who arrived here
on the LIST Of March, He claimed to be the
representative of Christian organization
and brought lsiters In proof thereof to a
prominent Richmond clergyman. He soon
soon found himself fellow boarder OF the
cashier Of the First National bank. Blair
made himself very agreeable to everybody,
and when the cashier was sick later on he
won that gentlemen's heart by various
little attentions lie claimed to represent
the Christian Endeavor society and last
Sunday week addressed a large crowd In
Manchester and organized a branch so
ciety.
He also claimed to represent party Of
capitalists from Minneapolis who were
coming here to invest largely in Virginia
lands. He went to the First National
bank and asked them TO cash draft for
&, l3247, purportiug to be drawn by the
/ Citizens bank Of Northfeld, Mimi, on
the American Exchange National bank OF
New York. Inquiry proved that the draft
was forgery and the case was given over
to the police
During his efforts on behalf Of the Chris.
| tion society mentioned Blair won the
esteem OF Richmond member of that
organization, well known business man.
So much impressed was he with Blair that
when that individual asked him to indorse
q check for $50, that he might get the
money ON it, his request was readily
| granted. In the course of business the
/ paper passed into the hands of the Mer-
chants National bank, where It was at
once found to be worthless OF the money
received from the check $50 were given to
the society.
