OPPOSITION WINS IN
BRITISH COLUMBIA
But the straight Conservatives VII
Have q Strong Individual
Following in the New
Parliament.

VANCOUVER. B. c., June 9.-Tne
Martin government has been over
whelmingly defeated as result Of to-
days election for members of the Fro
yincial Parliament The Legislature is
composed of IS, and at midnight re-
turns have been received from So con-
stituencies indicating the election of %
opposition and only seven straight sup
porters OF the government. The other
seats which are still in doubt will prob
ably return opposition members. Pre-
mier Martin does not acknowledge an
absolute defeat, but claims his ability
to induce half a dozen members-elect
counted among the opposition to sup
port his government upon a vote of
want of confidence in the House.
The straight Conservatives will have
the strongest individual following in
the next Parliament, having elected Is
members. Martin, the Premier, is elect
ed in Vancouver, as is also Smith-Cur
tbs, Minister Of Mines. in Rossland dis
.rict, and J. F. Brown OF Westminster,
Minister of Finance Two of the Min
isters-Yates of Victoria and Beebe Of
fale-are defeated. Charles Wilson,
leader of the Conservatives, and F. l..
Carter-Cotton, leader of the Provincial
party. are beth defeated in Vancouver
city, where Mayor Garden led the poll
in the Conservative interests.
Il is predicted that when the House
and the government have been over
thrown on a vote OF want of confidence
then either ex-Premier Turner of Vic
toria, Mayor Garden of Vancouver or
II. ID. Helmcken of Victoria will be
called upon to form Conservative
government.

THEY OPPOSE
HER MARRIAGE.
Children Of Aged Mrs Thompson Of
Pesaiura Don't Want Her
TO Take Second
Husband.

Petaluma society this week has become
the gossip OF the town An elderly and
weII-knoEn church woman widow
with some possessions whose age is re-
corded as S.. and whose name is Ms.
Martha E. Thompson-became smitten
with man named Constantine r
White. whose age is given as 81 years.
The couple were happy in the posses
sions OF each others affections until a
few days before the knot was to have
been tied, when Mrs. Thompson's chill
dren put in an appearance and filed a
demurrer. the same being now uRcer
advisement.
Mrs. J. d. Gibbs. wife of the well
known sporting man of San Francisco,
hearing OF the approaching nuptiais.
came 10 the city, and, it is claimed,
made strong protest, alleging that
White sought her mothers hand to get
control Of her property. A Mrs. Beale,
iOimSiis M . jim ho'oitu 1nc
match, while Mrs. Fairbrother, an
other daughter residing in Los An
geles, telegraphed from her southern
home to head of the union if possible.
An armistice for one week has been
granted to enable the family to look
up the career and character of Mr..
White.
Mrs. Thompson is connected with the
Barnes family. whose members are le-
gion, and is sister Of the late Colonel
William p. Barnes, the well-known
sporting man Of San Francisco, and
DR.. L. L. Barnes. leading physician
of Ukiah. The whole matter seems
now to hinge on the ability OF Mr..
White TO establish his character to the
of the relatives.
