Election Was Important.

Election Was Important.
ST. JOHN. N. b.. Dec. s.-News OF
the overthrow of the Greenway govern
ment In the general election in Mani
toba yesterday was a surprise to the
Liberals In Canada. The elections IN
Manitoba were regarded as unusually i'm
portant, as they are. expected to have a
bearing on the dissolution of the Cana
dian house Of commons, which, II IL
claimed. will take place some time this
winter.
The Liberal government Of Canada sup
ported Hon. Thomas Greenway, the Mani
toba premier. in the contest just c.ssed,
while the Manitoba opposition. lee BY
Hon. ]. Macdonald, son of the late Sir
John. had behind 1t the influence OF Sir
Charles Upper, the leader Of the Con-
sentative party in Canada, and Hon.
George Foster, Of this province. ex-
finance minister.
Popularity of Macdonald.
The Liberal papers claim the defeat was
largely due to the personal popularity OF
Mr.. Macdonald, the great prestige his
fathers name carried in Manitoba, ana
dissensions in the party. It IA also stated
that the settlement OF an undesirable class
Of immigrants from Russia in Manitoba in
jured Mr.. Greenway. The French-speaking
portion Of the population was opposed to
the Greenway government, owing 70 tme
latter's stand against Roman Catholic
schools. This question caused an upheaval
at the last general election.
Governments Railroad Policy.
ST. PAUL, Dec. ga Winnipeg special
to the Dispatch says: The reverse Of the
Greenway government Il strange indeed
In the light OF Its strength in the recent
legislature and the circumstances attend
ing the present election. It is the govern
ment which very recently had a great hold
on the affection and confidence of the
people, yet 1t was defeated mainly by the
strong dissatisfaction Of the people with
the present railway policy of the local and
the Dominion government. It IL the course
followed by the provincial government in
connection with railway construction dur
ing the last year, into which It was led by
the minister Of the interior which has lost
It the confidence of Manitoba.

To this end President Coburn gives
the following remedy. which is said to

This should be done while the trees are

the bark smooth and healthy. and is
very beneficial.
When the trees bloom and the bloc

remain dormant until early spring. and

A WOMAN'S HEADLESS
BODY.
Young NegreSs Murdered, Head
Cut Off and Thrown in Creek.

Fitzgerald, Ga, May 10. The
headless body of young negro
woman was discovered in Willa-
coochee creek this morning. The
hacked and torn stump of the
neck gave evidence that a dull
knife had been used and that two
attempts had been made to find
the joint in the vertebra. A short
distance from where the BODY
was found the grass and earth
were torn up, indicating severe
struggle. The body was abso-
luteiy nude, but at the scene of
the struggle few pieces Of corset
strings were found.
A woman named Polly Mitchell
is reported to be missing from
Martinsdale mill. She is under
stood to have had trouble with her
husband. A number of highly
wrought negroes viewed the head
less corpse this afternoon. There
is no positive clue as to the
identity of the victim or the per
petrator of the crime.
