The lead ore sampling bill push

man Wilson will either increase
the governments revenues largely
or curtail the importations of lead
silver ore There is no doubt that
there has long been systematic
swindling carried on at nearly all
the ports of entry through which
such ores come into this country.
The writer knows of case in
which train loads of lead ore were
shipped into the country as silver
ore. The trick was worked by
throwing a little silver ore just in
side the door where the inspector
was in the habit of taking hi,
sample. Possibly the official knew
where he was expected to take the
sample; but, if so, that part of the
arrangement was not told with the
story. If that ore had gone through
a sampler it would have been inn
possible for fraud to be practiced,
unless an entire crew of men had
been in the deal, a thing which
would be practically impossible,

Matters Create Excitement.

Toronto. Ont, June 23.-The general

today. The. contest was probably the
most hotts. Contested and in some re-
aspects the most bitter in the history OF
Canada The result is Il complete
overthrow of thu Conservative govern
ment led by Sir Charles Topper,
While the tariff question was the most
important issue of the campaign, the
Manitoba school question aroused a
greater degree of enthusiasm and eX-
element. and leading feature in the
election was the double headed policy
of the Conservative party on that
question. many conservatives running
as supporters of the government on all
questions except in regard to its Mani
toba remedial legislation. Three cab
met ministers in the Topper govern
ment We're defeated. viz: Hon. a. A..
Dickey. minister of justice: Hon. l.. o.
Taillon. postmaster general. and hon.
y. Desjardins, minister OF public
works.
Hon. Wilfred Laurier. Liberal
leader. was elected for two constituent
cies-Quebec East and Saskatchewan.
Dalton Mccarthy. leader of the indie
pendentS. was elected for two constit-
uencies-North Simcoe and Brandon.
Hon. Jos. Martin. a leading Liberal
and author of the present Manitoba
school law was defeated in Winni
peg by Hugh J. Mcdonald. son of the
late Sir John A. Mcdonald.
Hon. Peter White. Speaker of the
House of Commons, and Hon. \. Il.
Anglers, minister of agriculture in
the Mackenzie Bowel cabinet. were
defeated. Hon. David Mills. ex-mins-
ter of the interior in Alexander Mac
kenzie's cabinet, and prominent Lib
eral. was defeated.
The vote at midnight stands: Lib
erals, Ill; Conservatives, 10; indie
pcndents. s, Patrons. 4. There are
still II constituencies to hear from. 1t
is conceded that Mr.. Laurier, the Lib
cral leader, will. on the assembling of
the House. have a clean majority of
l6, irrespective of Independents and
Patrons.
There was much excitement through
out the country. but the voting passed
off quietly.
