Quebec was perfectly regular, but was
made without the knowledge Of the
Quebec authorities. Upon learning that
her husband had been spirited away,
Mrs. Gaynor gave the alarm of kid

The race continued only to Montreal.

1t is now merely fight on the ques-
ton as to whether or not the men can
be extradited. The charge upon which
they were arrested. "embezzlement,"
constitutes an extraditable offense, but
it is said to be barred by the statute of
limitations, the alleged offense having
been committed four years before. I'm
der the treaty between the United States
and Canada, there can be no extra
dition for the offense of conspiracy
against the government. 1t is expected
that there will be hot and prolonged
fight on the extradition question be-
cause both men have an abundance of
money.

THE CANE SEED MYSTERY.

The agricultural department has re-
piled to THE ENoUIRER's recent letter
about the cane seed, already referred
to in this column. The letter comes
from the office of the "Agrostologist, d
and is as follows:
your letter of the 8th instant, ad-
dressed to the Department Of Agricul-
ture, with enclosed seed, has been re-
ferred to this office. The seeds are
those of the grass known as the small
cane (Arundinaria tecta). This cane
only flowers once and then dies down
after the seeds have matured. This
grass grows several years before flow
ering, which accounts for the fact that
this process has not been observed re-
Gently in your locality"
Referring to the same subject on last
Saturday, Mr.. John ]. Wallace, Of the
York Cotton mills, said: II have noticed
seed on cane before and have noticed
also that the cane always dies shortly
afterward." This was before Mr.. Wal
lace had been advised of the contents
of the letter from the agricultural de-
partment.

subject. This election was held on Au-

tion of the primary plan over the con-
vention plan by a vote Of S37 to 326.

prevailed then, while since 1890 the ma
jority rule has prevailed.

doctors found a much worse condition
Of affairs than they expected. The dis
ease had made dangerous progress and
1t looked almost as If the time In which
an operation could avail anything had
passed. It was decided. however, to
go on with the operation, which was
performed with success. When asked
about the matter afterward, the doctors
were unwilling to offer a great deal of
encouragement. 1t was plain that they
feared the worst, and had but little
hope for the best. Aside from this par
ticular trouble, however. Mr.. Tiddy
was in excellent condition for the Or
deal, and he was placed in the care OF
Miss Mamie Mcconnell, who Is train
ed nurse. She has been faithfully as
sisted by Mr.. Tiddy's father. and DR..
Walker has been giving the case con-
stant attention. On Saturday, condi-
tions were more encouraging and they
seemed to show still further improve
ment on Sunday, Monday and yester-
day. The patient Is bearing up bravely,
and with a day or two more Of the
same improvement that has been noted
he may be considered out Of danger
Mr.. Tiddy has numerous friends who
are very much interested in his condi-
ton.

AMONG the suggestions that have been
made for dealing with the situation at
St. Pierre, is one to the effect that a
dead line be drawn around the city, and
maintained by the army on land and
the navy at sea for year, allowing no
one to enter the place on any pretext
whatever. The reason for this is the
pestilence breeding odors arising from
the thousands of purifying bodies in
the city, and the impossibility Of dis
posing of them in a sanitary manner
under the circumstances. The fact that
there is still in the city much treasure
to tempt vandals, makes the guard
necessary. 1t is believed that within
a year from this time the city may be
uncovered with reasonable safety. In
stead of being exaggerated, the serious
ness of the conditions at st. Vincent
has been underestimated. One-half of
the island is covered with lava and the
other half with volcanic ashes. Cattle
are starving in immense numbers, and
there is little reason to hope that the
island will again be habitable for years
to come. The British government is
now engaged in removing the entire
population to neighboring islands.

ALTHOUGH the Transvaal truce is
still on, and peace negotiations be-
tween the British and Beers are sup
posed to be in progress. there does not
seem to be a great deal of encourage
ment as to the immediate settlement Of
the issues involved in the struggle.
Just what the British terms are has
not been made exactly clear; but they
involve the complete surrender Of the
independence of the South African re-
publics. That is the main point at is
sue, and the burghers have been given
to understand that there will be no
concessions on this line either now or
hereafter. That these terms will have
to be accepted eventually is pretty gen.
orally conceded: but it does not follow
that the concession will come just at
this time. Above ali things else, the
rank and file of the Boer army desires
independence, and it is doubtful as to
whether even the leaders would be able
to make them see the matter in any
other light. How long the fight can
still be kept up is altogether matter
Of guess work. AS far back as July /,
1901, Lord Kitchener stated officially
that the entire Boer force in the field

owners in Aiken county in locking out
their employees as the most cruel and
unjustifltable wrong have ever known
of. 1t cannot be disputed that men
have the right to strike and quit work,
nor can it be disputed that the owners
of cotton mills have the right to close
their doors and not give work; but the
effort to force the King mill people to
return to work by Furnishing all the
operatives in the other mills&who have
nothing to do with it and living even In
a different state, is something unheard
of in the south. Those mills would
never have been built but with a view
to employing labor for the mutual ben
eft of both the owners and workers,
and when the lockout came it was too
late for the operatives to seek employ
ment on the farm, as no crop could
have been planted at that late date.
South Carolina burned down and neve.
have another one built than to have
those who own them make slaves of
those who work in them. The child
labor business is cold-blooded greed.
The Aiken lockout Is a proclamation
unspeakable in it's infamous cruelty
and insolence. The unnecessary SUI
fering it has produced and the sense
Of wrong will cause incalculable injury.
There are men in Aiken county who,
to my knowledge, have been working
faithfully and continually for years
and years in the Horse Creek Valley
without the slightest friction, and If
all the operatives in that valley could
move away and leave the mills to rot
down for the want of labor 1t would be
nothing more than just retribution for
this high-handed and outrageous action
on the part of the owners.

THE new war in the Philippines
seems to be at a temporary standstill;
but there is no good reason to hope that
the standstill is anything but tempo
rary. General Chaffee is now on the
island of Mindanao, where he went
from Manila to investigate the situa-
ton. Under date Of Sunday, he cabled
that he has had satisfactory interviews
with several sultans and dattos and
that all of them profess friendship to
the United States. Datto Ruty, how
ever, who captured some animals from
the American forces recently, declines
to give them up. His stronghold is a
fort, situated on a high hill, and Gene
raj Chaffee thinks he can be brought to
terms by surrounding the hill and cut
ting off his water supply. This will
probably be done, and afterward some
thing will have to be done to the 9TH
er fellows who protest friendship, but
who have no American property to give
up as test of that friendship.
