A visit TO the various mines Indicates that
everything about the properties affected

on the street all day. eagerly discussing
the situation but the men all appeared 10

country FOR the rast five years. TIE cleo
ton Is IN the nature OF a piebiscise. IN
which the one question. Shall parliament

By separate schools IL meant provision

By public funds under q double system OF
taxation. Manitoba In 1880 declared for q
single no1-ssctartan system for which all
were taxed alike and from which sll
might receive equal beneht. In Quebec the
government has reason TO hope It's policy
OF remedial legislation will be upheld. as
the province Is Overwhelmingly Catholic.
There are sixty-five constituencies IN the
provinces. and with the exception of two
they have hitherto been regarded as q

religion In Ontario a religious fegd has
been wased since the campaign opened.
The parliamentary champions OF non-in-

II the province there are ninety-two con-
stItaencies, nearly all of which are con-
trolied by Protestants. In the other prov

Catholic constituencies are running can

FIRE NEAR THE DRY DOCK.
A Hole burned In the Roof of an Tn
occupied building.

At 1920 O'clock this morning an alarm
was sent in from box Al for fire in a
large unoecupied building al the corner OF
Railroad avenue and Norman street. The
fire apparatus responded promptly and by
quick work made a good stop. The dam
age amounted TO only few dollars.
The fire was discovered by Otto Ros-
burg. night Waterman at Moran's foun-
dry. He saw a flickering light In the build
ing and thought at first, that some one
was walking about with a lantern. Sud
denly a tongue OF FIRE broke through the
roof and Roshurg lost no time In turning
in an alarm.
The building Is owned by J. r. Hart. Of
