mi of the Baltimore Calverts. She

After studying law, Mr.. Platt moved
to Meriden, Conn.,, and began practice
in 1851. After serving in various state

Toronto, Ont, April 22.-The World
this morning, in a double-column story
from Ottawa, gives what it claims to
course On the school question. The
World s tale is that Sifton, already an
tagonlstic to the government on the
Grand Trunk scheme, has been sounded
and found bitterly hostile to federal in
reference. with northwest education.
Laurier, realizing how much trouble
Sifton could make, called Minister Of
Justice Fitzpatrick in. Immediately
q series Of charges against Sifton were
made by a "confidential agent Of the
Laurier government who supplied sew
eral conservative members with details
Of Sifton's connection with northwest
land deals. ,%%
Conservative members, seeing that

scalp thkn sifton's. sifton was &C.
cordingly Informed Of the cabal, and
ascribed it to Fitzpatrick, against
whom he said he would retalilate. Sif-
ton knew the object was to get him out
and appoint another western minister
who would accept the coercive measure.
Zone Of a delicate nature, and Sifton
appears to have been an easy victim.
Sifton became involved in a Scandal
This scandal became public property
and Sifton's colleagues told him a set
Element must be arranged.
Laurier and the hierarchy were
parties to the settlement, and a large
sum Of money was involved. It was
also arranged that Sifton should retire
on account of, i'll health. Sifton, how
ever, went south and tho bill was intro
duced In his absence. Sifton fastened
northward and after an unpleasant con
ference with Laurier, resigned. Then
the plotters went to work.
The Calgary Eye Opener, published
the whole story of the scandal, includ-
ing names, dates and terms ofr4settle-
ment. American papers published the
story and Sifton was given to under
stand that this was only the beginning
Of publicity to be given to his in,
discretion. He saw that his choice was
between surrender and a blackened
reputation. He surrendered.
The World says it gives the story as
a matter of "duty to the public and
that Sifton's action in accepting 9
compromise under the whip of the
blackmailers is that of a husband an(
