wilfred Laurier and His Party
Won a Great Victory.
After an uninterrupted Reign 81
Eighteen Years the Conservative
Party of Canada Has Been
Swept Out of Power.

The conservative government OF Cam
ada has been swept out of power after an
uninterrupted reign of 1s years. The
results of the general elections held re-
Gently show an Overwhelming victory
for the liberal forces. The campaign
has been one of the most bitter in the
history of Canada, and has turned on
two questions, which have been settled
in this way:
The province of Manitoba shall not be
forced by the dominion to appropriate
money for separate Catholic schools
and restore this denominational priv
ilege which had been taken away from
the Catholics and which the people OF
Manitoba have steadfastly refused to
return.
The existing tariff arrangements
must be changed so as to obtain from
the United States reciprocal relations,
even if they discriminate against Great
Britain.
The only blot on the liberal victory
is the result at Winnipeg. Joseph Mar
tin, the author of the national school
bill and the exponent of the school
question in Manitoba, appears to have
been defeated by small majority by H.
j. Macdonald. MacDonalds S popularity
and the influence of the Canadian Pa
cific railroad divide the honors of the
unique result. 1t is the humorous fea-
ture of the campaign, however, that,
while all Canada was rallying to the sup
port of Manitoba's special issue, the ex-
ponent of that issue was being beaten
in Manitoba.
The school question has created the
more interest because it has infiamed
the prejudices of race and religion. The
legislature of Manitoba had resisted
consistently and successfully every at
tempt of the TORY government to re-
store the separate schools for Catholics,
and had forced this new election to de.
termine finally the Judgment of the
other Canadian provinces. The liberal
leader, Mr.. Wilfred Laurier, is Cath.
Ollie himself, and has declared that he
will eudeavor to effect settlement oi
the question by policy of investigation
and, Cancellation, refusing to be coerced

THE CHICAGO COLISEUM WHICH THE CONVENTION is HELD

plause which punctuated his speech.
He maintained that it was perfectly
seemly to overrule the national COM
mittee and held that if the committee
were properly constituted it would
show a majority the other way.
M. f. Tarpey, of California, told the
convention in seconding the motion to
adopt the minority report that the
democratic party had been losing faith
with its adherents because it had
failed to keep faith with the voters by
adhering to the platform. The key
note of the convention, he said, was
silver, and he thought silver man
should be selected.
NEW YORK sPELLBINDER
John r. Fellows, of New York, was
received with cheers as he came to the
platform.
He paid a tribute to the splendid ability and
long established democracy of Mr. Daniel, and
said had he been nominated on the ticket
by this convention New York would gladly have
given him support But grave principles were
involved in the question now presented. Dem
ocratic traditions were to be trampled down
and the whole life Of the senator from Virginia
repealed the suggestion that he could sanction
this unheard of and unnecessary act He pro-
ceeded to show the regularity of the action OF
the national committee which. he said for a
longer period than the lives of any delegates
present, had presented foe he purpose OF Or
ganiZation the names OF officers to temporarily
fill the chairs, and its action in this regard had
never before been questioned. He character
lied the plan now proposed as following q re-
publican precedent
Hon. John NJ. Duncan, of Texas,
said they loved the name of David b.

Hill down in Texas, and wished it was
in their power to honor him. But the
silver men We're terribly in earnest
and could not support any man by
whose election disloyalty to silver
might be implied.
Hon. j. w. st. Clair, of West Vir-
ginia, the next speaker, led off by de-
claring that he came here as firm a
friend of the free coinage of silver as
anyone, but he must say to his silver
friends that they were making mis-
take. He urged them to proceed to
elect democratic president by demo-
cratic methods. What harm, he said,
could David b. Hill do in the chair?
He himself was too good silver man
to be influenced by speech from
David B. Hill or any body else.
Then Chairman Harrity said that
unless the majority of the convention
should otherwise instruct, he would
direct call of the roll Immediately
after the next speaker had closed.
This declaration apparently met the
approval of the convention and the
chairman added that, recognizing this
to be the sentiment of the convention,
he would again recognize Mr.. Clayton,
of Alabama, to close the debate.
THE VOTE TAKEN.
Chairman Harrity then put the
question, which was the adoption OF
the minority report, and ordered the
roll of the states to be called.
The chairman of the Michigan dele
cation announced that a poll of the
delegation stood l2 ayes to 16 noes, but
under the unit rule he had pleasure il
casting the whole 2S for David B. Hill

by the bishops. The leader of the gov
ernment forces, imported especially to
conduct the fight Sir Charles Tupper,
is Protestant. 1t is not surprising,
therefore, that the Catholics have voted
to confide their school and church inter-
ests to tho Catholic liberal, Mr.. Laurier,
rather than to the Protestant tory, Sir
Charles Tupper. The hierarchy ap-
pealed with characteristic violence to
their religious enthusiasm and loyalty,
going so far in Quebec as to denounce
from the pulpit the liberal candidates,
but the result has shown the Catholics
from their bishops. In only one prov
ince, New Brunswick, were the govern
ment forces successful, electing eight
out of IA members, and here the school
question was least agitated.
The trade issue, though entering less
directly into the campaign, probably is
the more important, says the Chicago
Tribune. The liberal victory can hardly
fail to make Mr.. Laurier premier, and he
is an enthusiastic and outspoken advo-
cate of union with the United States.
All his speeches and writings show n
strong tendency towards separation
from Great Britain, and his sympathies
commercially and politically are with
the United States. This spirit has been
I'M jected strongly into the liberal forces.
Moreover, the two other parties which
have shown prominence in the cam
paign and which have aided ma terially
in the overthrow of the government
showed marked annexation tendency.
The equal rights party, followers of Mr..
Dalton Mccarthy, an offshoot from the
conservative forces in Ontario, is COM
posed of men who have become dis
gusted with the corruption in the tory
government, and who would welcome
closer relations with the United States,
although they have not yet come out
openly for annexation. The patrons of
industry, the populists OF Canada, have
been more in favor of independence than
annexation, but in this campaign have
shown u willingness to look with favor
OH union with Uncle Sam. Uudoubt-
edly an effort will be made Mt once to OBJ
tain some closer form of reciprocity
with the United States. Probably much
more will be asked than the United
States will be willing to concede, for
Canada would be the gamer in what
ever measures of reciprocity between
the two countries should be adopted
| These will be interesting questions that
will come before the next administra'
tion at Washington.

Yale university crew fell by the way
side yesterday in their first and, con-
sequent upon their defeat, their only
attempt to win the most highly priced
trophy of British aquatics, the grand
challenge cup of the Royal Henley re-
gatta. Their opponents were the crack
eighu of the Leander Rowing club,
whose crews won the cup four times in
succession in 1891, '92, '03 and '94. 1t
was a grand race, however, and the
Yalensians have no reason to feel hu
inflated at their defeat. They were
simply outclassed. The Leanders beat
the New Haven crew by a length and
three-quarters, covering the Henley
course of one mile and $50 yards in TIA.
Immense crowds of spectators lined
the river banks at 1:15 o'clock when

stylish than the collars of heavy lace

good style to have the entire blouse

Costumes of white mohair with al

The close coat sleeve is seen much more
on tailor gowns than any other style
and the sleeves of the jacket bodice are
very closely, with the fullness distinctly
in the upper part. Length more than
width appears to bn the aim in many
new sleeves and they vary in size and de-
sign according to fancy.
The full Queen Anne puff still reigns
a favorite on evening toilets; and this
puff is slashed, draped, tucked, or
banded with velvet, insertion or passe-
menterie. Caps, vandyke points, and airy
tulle bows that look exactly like huge
gauze butterflies perchel on the tops
of the shoulders are also in vogue and
the modified old style bishop sleeve is
constantly used for diaphanous dresses
and shirt waists of every description.
Some of the delicate batistes and grass
inens made up over silk of a contrast
ing shade, pink, green lilac, ETC., are ex-
ceedingly chic and iressy in effect, be-
ing trimmed with rich laces put on in
points and insertions; with full lace
shoulder capes or tichus, and handsome
ribbon sashes as finish. Some of these
toilets have yokes and bretelles of soft
ecru guipure, and the very full gigot
sleeves have lace arranged in deep VAN
dykes AT the waists and around the neck.
The smart little jacket bodices of the
season are in great variety. They are
all short and pert-loolling about the
waist and hips. The basque portion is
cut scant or very full in rounded or
circular shape, or in blocks or vandyke
points, as the figure of the wearer re-
quires, and the bodices are made of
every sort of material, from satin and
silk, velvet and brocadc; gingham and
dimity skirts on tailor gowns for util-
ity wear are somewhat narrower than
those on dress, and demi-dress toilets.
The newest skirts are quite as often
gathered as plated. They are made a
degree less tlaring from the knees down
without losing anything of the at
tractive cachet which has character
lied recent models, and, rid of their
stiff intcrlinings, are very much less

THE FISH WHARF AND BENCHES
The committee on public property to-
day rented the corporation fish wharf
for the year. There was quite a large
attendance in front of the market when
Auctioneer Lunt offered the property
at public auction. The first bid was
500, but this was soon raised to $3.50,
at which the property was rented
to Capt. ]. b. Beach, who rented the
wharf last year at the same figures.
1t was stated that such repairs would
be made as the committee deemed nec-
essary. After the fish wharf had been
rented the fish benches in the market
were rented, only those east of the gate
being offered. The rent of the benches
is $50 each. No. bench was rented to
Price & Co., at premium of $50 and
No. 2 to ]. P. Young for cents pre-

were rented.
