WILL CANADA EXPEL THEM2
Reported That Action Has Been Taken
Against Du Bose and Carranza.

MONTREAL. June SIT IS reported
that the Dominion government has decid-
ed upon the expulsion Of Senior du Bose
and Lieutenant Carranza from Canada,
and that Major Sherwood, Chief OF the
Dominion Police, has left Ottawa with
the necessary papers. An indication that
the report is true Is found in the fact
that it appears in the Patrie. the per-
sOnal organ of Mr.. Tarte, one Of the
leading members of the government and
was sent by the Ottawa correspondent
of that paper. Major Sherwood is eX-
pected late tonight or tomorrow morn
ing.
The spaniards say they have received
no intimatlOn Of any such action. What
course they will take they decline to tell,
but their counsel, Mr.. st. Pierre, said
he did not believe that the government
had the power TO expel anybody from the
country without trial Besides, there
was no proof that Carranza and Du Bose
were spies, the only presumption against
them being the letter ana they mad de-
clared that IL had been changed.
While this Is the view taken BY the
Spaniards' counsel u Is the opinion OF
other lawyers that the Canadian govern
ment has full power 10 eXpel them from
Canadian territory. Great Britain $ neu-
trality proclamation mas seen adopted by
the Canadian Parliament &-d Is now the
law OF the Dominion. and II the govern
ment considers that the Spaniards have
violated its provisions Il is within It's pow
er 10 take action against them.
That the spanish headquarters IN Mon

the forces in Cuba is shown by the fol-

THE TEST OF WANAMAKER.

We have had occasion several times 10
refer to the interesting campaign in the
State Of Pennsylvania, the fight in the
Republican camp.
As is well known the contest IS between
the Quay machine and the rebelious
element headed by the Hon. John Wan
amaker. Mr.. Wanamaker denounced
the machine and its methods in most
vigorous language. declaring that it was
corrupt to the middle and intimating that
no self-respecting man would submit 10
st.
The question has now been raised, and
It is one Of the deepest interest, as TO
whether or not Mr. Wanamaker Will
submit. If things are indeed as bad as
he has pictured them, and we doubt 1t
not. then we do not see how Mr.. Wanna
maker can submit. Senator Quay car
ried the convention in his vest pocket
and named the nominee for Governor.
There can be no doubt that the nominee
is Mr. Quays tool and the living instru-
ment OF the machine to carry on its I'M
righteous work.
Mr.. Wanamaker felt that he was jus
tiGable in fighting the machine UP 10 the
time that the convention was held. If
he can now reconcile his recent course
to a support of the machine from this
time. it will be ON the principle that the
moral code does not apply in politics.
The machine is just as bad now as it was
before the convention was held, and will
no doubt become more arrogant because
Of its latest success for that It beat Mr.
Wanamal5or out Of his boots, in spite Of
his combination with another candidate
cannot be denied. All who are inteTs
ested in clean politics Will watch ths
future course Of John Wanamaker, re-
former. with very close scrutiny. We
shall see whether or not he has &he
courage OF his convictions.
