Report That tho Canadian Minister Had
Resigned Denied.
TORONTO, March 3l.-The World says
that it has good reasons for believing
Sir Charles Tnpper will retain his port
folio as minister Of justice. If this be
so, and The World is generally well in
formed politically, it shows that the
premier has succeeded in patching up a
truce for the present at least.
The Mail, the government organ,
gives strong denial to the whole resig-
nation story, 1t says: Charles Tupper
is still administering the affairs of his
department. He has not rendered his
resignation and the statements sent
broadcast over the world that he has,
are untrue.
This contradiction is given, not only
on the authority Of the minister Of JUS
tice, but with the emphatic confrma'
ton Of Sir Mackenzie Bowel.
