CANADA OUR FRIEND.
One Who Attempts to Attack Us in
Parliament Severely Rebuked.

Ottawa, Ont, May 19.-In the house of
commons Hon. Mr.. C1eary, a representa-
tive of of the border constituencies,
in discussing the American alien labor
law and the manner in which it had been
enforced against Canadians, incidentally
referred to the Spanish-American war,
saying that while all parties in Canada
would pray that the American people
would come out victorious, still there
were not a few who would like to see the
United States get ''bit of a spanking
because of it's unfriendIy treatment of
Canada Cries of mo, no. arose from
all parts of the house.
Premier Laurier, rising, evidently with
some warmth, said: Il sincerely hope
my honorable friend who has Just taken
his seat, in his utterances which at the
moment called forth expressions of dis

not the feeling of his party 1 would
rather hope that upon the present occa-
sion though we are bound to be neutral

ences between the United tSates and
there is a feeling at al lapart from our
duty neutralS. it is a feeling of Sympa-
thy for those who are our neighbors and
who share the continent with US.
Sir Charles Upper, opposition leader
expressed entire acquieScence in what the
premier had said, and concluded his
speech by saying: while we are bound
to respect that complete Morality that
has been proclaimed by the parent state
in reference to the war between the Unit
ed States and Spain, nevertheless l feel
that we cannot forget the people of Cam
ada, as of Great Britain. are but one
branch of that great English-speaking
family and that the interests of peace,
the interests of civilization and the inter-
the most cordial cooperation between the
two great branch nations.

Colonel Roosevelt Inaugurates

ably delayed several days.
They are about the fiercest looking
men in the camp. They belong to the
Third squadron. It was expected they
would bring 200 instead of 10, and con-
sequently 35 recruits will have to be en-
listed for the squadron. 1t is feared
that this will delay the departure of the
regiment for Cuba several days long
er.
The First and Second squadrons, COM
manded by Lieutenant Colonel RoOSe-
welt, were given an unmounted drill to-
day. The lieutenant colonel entered in
to the work of drilling the men with
characteristic zeal, and after drilling
them several miles out into the country.
He was mounted on a fiery Steed, which
he controlled easily.
THE Fifth avenue recruits" had no
drilling and little work to do today.

bacon and bread hard to swallow, and
was hungry and unhappy when the bu-

retire to his harsh grey blanket. There
are now 940 men in the camp and they
are all uniformed in brown duck suits,
brown 1eggins and greyish sombreros.

SUICIDE THEORY.
In the Collins Case is Adhered to by
John NJ. Wilkerson.

Ex-Sheriff Wilkerson adheres to the
theory that J. S. Collins committed
suicide. Physicians that examined the
body say that he could not possibly
have fired both shots, but Mr.. Wilker-
son is pursuing that theory.
The gun was found in the hall but
he thinks that Mrs. Collins could have
carried it out there in her excitement
without knowing it. He has found
that Mr. Collins was heavily involved
and that he was worried considerably.
The suicide theory seems to be the
most unsatisfactory one advanced for
there was no evidence that the deed
was committed by Mr.. Collins and it is
scarcely possible that he could have
held the gun in a position to have in
hicted either wound.
1t has been pointed out that Mr.. Col
Inns owed Mrs. Carpenter who lives on
Madison street a large sum of money
and that she had been urging him to
repay her. 1t is reported that Mrs.
Carpenter had conference with Mr..
Collins the evening before he was killed
When Mrs. Collins was asked if Mr.
Collins could have committed suicide
she answered decidedly that he could
not.
Mrs. Collins, Grace Collins and John
Collins appeared before the probate
court today and asked to have D. w.
Nellis appointed administrator and it
was accordingly done. Mr.. Collins left
no VIII and it cannot yet be told what is
the condition of his financial affairs.

for the Cruiser.

The Citizens committee, which has
been organized to raise money for the
purchase of a suitable present for the
cruiser Topeka" has decided to give
a, grand ball on June 9Th. The complete
arrangements have not been made as
the committee is endeavoring to have
the cost of the ball as low as possible
and a hall free of charge is now desired
When the tickets for the ball are placed
on sale it is expected that even those
who do not dance will buy a ticket and
help swell the fund.
The money obtained will be needed in
order to make a suitable present to the
cruiser Topeka and the committee is
compelled to call for assistance in the
shape of volunteer music for the ball,
and for material far decorating pur-
poses, in order to keep expenses to the
minimum amount. 1t is hoped that
the citizens will respond literally. All
desiring to contribute are kindly re
quested to notify either I. A. Strauss,
president, or H. V. Albaugh, secretary,
by mail, at Alb Kansas avenue, care of
Strauss Commercial Agency, who will

LEEDY, SURE.
Ex-Governor Lewelling Says Nothing
Can Prevent His Nomination.

Ex-Governor L. D. Lewelling predicts
that the opposition to Governor Leedy
will result in nothing more than did the
opposition to him when he was renomi-
mated for governor after serving his
term of two years.
THE men opposing my renomina-
tion,'' said he today, held a caucus
just before the state convention, and
found that they were so weak that it
would be useless to attempt anything.
Consequently the opposition cut no fig
ure whatever. I think it will be the
same way with the opposition to Gov
ernOr Leedy. When his opponents get
together and realize what a poor show
ing they make, they will lay down and
nothing will be heard from them.
Il want to say" continued the ex-
governor, that nothing on earth can
now prevent the denomination of John
Leedy at the state convention

''It is evident that the naval authori-

bilities of a sudden attack in some uu-
expected quarter. The censorship has
been established not at all too soon.
1t is difficult to understand how the

continue to move about in this mys-
ferrous manner. disquieting and per-
picking their adversaries, without per-

which if they exist, must be extraordi-

article says:
I'VE cannot blame the United States
for trying to push their rights to the

Lord Beresford, Conservative, En-
dorses Suggested Alliance.

London. May 19.-Rear Admiral Lord
Charles Beresford, Conservative mem
Der of parliament for the City of York,
addressing the Junior Constitutional
club this evening, expressed his strong
approval of the Birmingham speech of
Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain, secretary of
state for the colonies, on the Anglo
Saxon alliance, but described 1t as the
right thing said in the wrong way
AS for an Anglo-American alliance"
his lordship continued, Il sympathize
with that idea also, but it seems to me
premature"
The Americans, he declared, were
shrewd and suspicious and it was not
advisa BILE that it should appear as if
England was in a position of difficulty
and was suggesting an alliance for her
own benefit. He hoped, however, that
such an alliance would come
