ELECTIONS IN NOVA SCOTIA
Representative of the Governmental
Party Elected by an 0verwhelm-
ing Majority.
(By Associated Press.)

Halifax, N. S., Oct. 3.-The latest re-
turns from the Novia Scotia elections
indicate that representatives of the gov
eminent have been elected by an over
whelming majority. 1t was the biggest
victory in the history of Canadian poll
ties, the liberals having carried the
whole province. The conservatives were
unable to carry one county. They may
get two seats. one in Cumberland and
another in Pictou, but the latter is
doubtful.
The elections We're fought on strict
party lines and they passed off very
quietly.
Two liberals We're elected by accla-
nation in Yarmouth and two in Anti
gonish. The whole county of Cape Bre-
ton returned all the liberals with hand
some majorities. The contest In Col
chester was a spirited one. Two Hall
fax capitalists, B. F. Pearson, liberal
and John F. Stairs, conservative, ran
and Pearson was elected. The new
house will probably be composed of sc
liberals and two conservatives.

the background by the dispute regarding
The advisability of permitting tram lines

Most people sympathize with the

FRENCH RELIGIOUS TROUBLES
The Jesuits Publish Lengthy Address
Upon Their Departure From
French Republic.
(By Associated Press.)

(by Associated fresS.)
London. Oct. 3.-A Paris correspond
ent says the Jesuits have published a
long address on the eve Of their depar-
ture from France. They explain that
they cannot submit to the law of as
so1iations and apply for authorization
under it, as by so doing they would have
to admit the existence of power high
er than the church.
This address, remarks the correspond
emf, loses much Of its significance and
paithos when one reflects that the law
was specially aimed at the Jesuits and
Passionists The former. therefore. can
claim no merit in not asking for author
ization as they know they would not be
able to obtain it and the application for
it would provoke discussions painful to
them.
Il is semi-ofIically stated that those not
applying for authorization under the law
and not dispensing will be prosecuted i'm
med.ately. Liquidators have been APP
pointed fer those who have dispersed.

GENERAL BUTLER FIGHTS BACK
The South African Soldier Roasts His
Personal Critics and the Public
Press,
(By Associated Press.)

New York, Oct. 3.-General Buffers
reply to the two weekly journals of his
character is prudent says a London cor
respondent. He declines to be drawn IN
any way by the anonymous writer's and
speaks with fine irony Of the criticism
of an irresponsible press.
1t will be difficult for those journals to
pursue the subject and General Butler
Will not be forced to defend himself. nor
will he be deprived Of the command Of
his army corps. 1t would not be difficult,
however. to establish the identity of the
writer's who have been approaching him
for having either ordered or advised
General White to abandon Ladysmith
after the battle of Colenso. on to assert
the course Of inspiration of these at
tacfs on his reputation.
The secrets of the Photograph bother at
Modder River and Colerso affect the
honor and prestige of the British army
ard an investigation will ultimately be
necessary. The subjugation of the Beers
has been sufficiently difficult although
Kimberly was not evacuated nor Lady
smith abandoned. 1t would have been
well-nigh impossible if the alleged
orders attributed to Butler had been car
ried into execution.

Meagre details of their fate were

That the men were drowned seems be-

ternoon Of August in an old Yukon
boat which had been repaired and a CEN

When they left Port Safety the

lieved that their boat filled and sank, for
it has not been found.

REPRESENTATIVE OF VATICAN
Purpose of the American Visit OF the
Distinguished Churchman Causing
Much Speculation.

New York. Oct. 3.-The Herald says:
One Of the influential prelates and an
official of the vatican will arrive here
soon, it is expected, by way Of Rotter-
dam.
Just what is the intent Of his visit IS
not stated. It is suggested by some
that he may bring instructions for the
annual meeting of the archbishops
which will be held at Washington on
Nov. 10 and IA, and may perhaps ar
range the details of the summoning OF
the proposed plenary council Of the
hierarchy. 1t is also thought that his
visit may have something to do with
the selection OF a star to Cardinal Mar

AMERICAN SUGAR INTERESTS
President Havemeyer Reappears in
Active Command and M;~.-es Spec
tacular Move in Prices.
(By Associated Press.)

(By Associated PreSS.)
New York, Oct. 3.-The Journal of Com.
merce says:
President H. O. Havemeyer of the
American Sugar Refining company was
at his office this week for the first time
since his illness and it has been learned
that one of his first official acts was to
authorize one of the most spectacular
regulations in refined sugar prices that
have ever been made. This was the re-
duction announced in Tuesdays dis
matches It applies only to such sections
Of the country in which beet sugar COM
petes.
Tho cut in price to Missouri river
points was to 31a cents per pound net for
granulated. On Tuesday the net quota
ton was SOB cents net. In other words
Mr. Eavemeyer has authorized cut
slightly less than 11s cents per pound.
To understand the Importance of this
cut to beet sugar manufacturers it
should be mentioned that the practice of
the beet people is to make contracts for
their entire production at prices based
on the selling price Of the sugar COM
bine on the date Of delivery. The beet
people have heretofore been easily able to
dispense of all their sugar at a discount
of 10 points from the American Sugar
Refining company's figures. This means,
if the beet people live up to their con-
tracts. that they will receive but 25
cents per pound for their product
It is understood, however. that the
beet sugar people will refuse to recog-
nize the cut made by the American
Sugar Refining company on the technical
ground that it is in restraint of trade.
The beet sugar refners of Utah, Colo
RADIO, California and Nebraska are the
refiners concerned. The American Sugar
Refining company usually supplies sugar
for the Missouri river points from it's
New Orleans and Pacific coast refineries.
They now have. however, at least 20,0 900
barrels Of granulated sugar held on con-
signment at Kansas City and nearby
points shipped from New York during
the latter part of July and first half of
August. 1t is expected that this will
have an unsettling influence upon the
local market. but it is not expected that
It will be followed by any important cut

speaking of spiders" said the police
officer, as he led the way in through the
alley door of a saloon on East Mercudt
there is fellow down here ON AN
IONA street that at the present moment
is having more trouble with some rab-
bits than dog with litter Of duckssa.-
The fellow is a sort Of Handy Andy
around the different bars in the neigh
borhood, and answers to the rather
unique appellation Of Buttons ~
"Some time ago. he proceeded. "a
family down on Arizona went out of
town on pleasure jaunt. They had
some eight or ten fine looking hares,
which they provided with a home osten-
sibly for the amusement of their young
est son, but their real motive was in
having them to supply the table. The
people, on taking their leave. left the
rabbits to the tender mercies of Buttons.
Their absence had extended but
little over a week. however. before FIVE
of the animals became infected with
some ailment peculiar to the rabbit
race and died. Buttons, whose honesty
is proverbial in the vicinity. was now
at loss how to deport himself under
the circumstances, and so conferred
with his friends the barkeepers.
THE first one to whom he applied for
advice led him to understand that
should the parties return and find the
rabbits gone, they would naturally jump
to the conslusion that he had made use
of them to surfeit his own stomach.
Therefore. in order to allay the sus-
picion Of the owners, he must preserve
the rabbits as a proof that they had
treatment, and not through the we'll
established gormandizing proclivit:es of
the aforesaid Buttons.
Buttons replied that he did not de-
sire to question the sincerity of the ad-
vice advanced by the barkeep. but
thought he would confer further before
taking any stand in the matter. He
started out with that intent. but the
door had scarcely had time to close
upon his retreatirg footsteps. when the
barkeeper rang up the round of But
toms haunts. and left every drink IS
renser on the line wise to the proceed
ings. Thus it was that Buttons got the
same brand of atmospheric heat wher-
ever he went, and he finally began to
think there was something in it after
all.
HE, thereupon, went back to the
rabbit den, gathered up the dead hares
and laid them all on shelf back ct
the kitchen range; and here they, have
lain ever since. 1t is probable that
more of the animals VIII shortly be
ready for the shelf, as Buttons is COM
