CANADIAN OFFICIALS HURT.
of Fireworks at Quebec In
iurcs Several Cabinet Ministers.


Quebec, Sept 20.-A spark from a
rocket fired by one one of the warships
ignited collection of fireworks on the
deck of the steamer Frontenac, on board
of which were several of the Canadian
cabinet minister's, a number of their
friends and the ladies OF their families,
who were steaming thru the harbor
viewing the fireworks and Nominations.
Instantly there was a terrific, explo-
sion, tho most of those who witnessed 1t
from distance took 1t for part OF the
prearranged pyrotechnic display. "A tug
near by came to the assistance of the
steamer, which had meanwhile taken
fire around the wheel house, rendering
her unmanageable.
Several Of those on board when seen
after they came ashore made light of
the whole matter, contending that no
one was seriously injured. The contrary
now proves to be the case. The boat was
towed to shore at an out-of- the-way
place to escape notice, the ambulance
sent for and Mrs. j. l.. Greenshields,
wife of prominent Montreal lawyer,
removed to a hotel, whence Wednesday
she was taken in an ambulance aboard
a steamer for her home in Montreal,
very dangerously burned about the low
,er part of the body. Miss Fielding,
daughter of the dominion finance minis
ter, was burned. but not very seriously.
The dresses of the two ladies took fire
and were extinguished with difficulty.
The Hon. DIR. Borden, minister of mill
tia. was thrown down from the bridge
by the force of the explosion and broke
an ankle; the Hon. Mr.. Tarte, Canadian
minister Of public works, had his face
and one hand so badly burned and
bruised that he went to the hospital.
Mrs. Borden and the Hon. Mr.. Suther-
land We're slightly burned and Mrs. Tur-
cote, OF Ottawa, was seriously tho not
fatally burned.
