World from Ottawa, Ont, says:
"When the first Canadian battalion was
sent to South Africa, strong protests
against giving military aid to Britain came
from the majority of Premier Laurier's
following in Quebec. Rebellion among his
french supporters was only quelled by the
assurances that the Canadian forces would
be paid by Britain, and no more contin-
gents would be furnished.
THE offer and acceptance of a second
Battalion has caused open revolt.

news was received here today of the arrest

formerly president of the Globe National
bank of this city, it had not been known
that the United States authorities had
taken any action in that direction. 1t then

by Special Examiner Wing, acting under

The warrant charges embezzlement in four
counts The aggegate amount involved is
5000 ,000 the sums of 5000 900 and 100000 be-
ing mentioned in the respective counts.
Examiner Wing refused to make known
the nature of the facts he had discovered
in his investigation of the banks affairs
and which led to Coles arrest. Bankers
however, who have been in touch with mat
ters connected with the Globe National
bank say the reasons are not hard to find.
The banks trouble dates back far beyond
last November, when Mr.. Cole resigned
Early in November the directors decided
that certain loans had been made on terms
considered unsa tisfaetory These loans, it
developed, it had been made largely in
stock transactions in which President Cole
was associated with Edward A. Clarke and
William Colidge.
The dealings were made in United States
Mining and United States Oil and certain
coppers, and the amount of loans aggre-
gated 81, 500 coo.
On the strength of these facts the d-
rectors requested Mr.. Cole to resign, and
he withdrew as president November 16,
having arranged with the directors and his
colleagues, Clark and Colidge for the sums
loaned, additional security being deposited
with the bank.

TO Fight the Railroads

Chicago, December 23.-To combat the
late move of the railroads by which COM
modify rates were abolished and classifica-
tions changed, and in such manner, it is
alleged, that an advance in freight rates of
from 10 to 10 per cent. have been forced
upon shippers, an effort is being made here
to effecs a combination of interests affected.
circular in which the foregoing is set
forth for the attention of local merchants
was issued today by Henry r. Post. Mr..
Post declares that the only way for ship
pers to secure protection against excessive
freight rates, in the making of which he
declares the men who pay it are not con-
suited, is to form a national body, with
state and local branches working through
the state assemblies and the national con-
gress. Reform in the matter of adjusting
claims for damages, and the tracing OF
strayed merchandise, Mr.. Post declares, are
much needed.

he is alleged to have sent through the
mails to Harry S. Cornish nearly a year

complaints to his counsel, and they have
asked Recorder Gof If the young man

stimulants.
AS a result of this request the recorder
has ordered the warden of the Tomos to
permit Molineux to have more exercise
