Speaking of foreign relations, Sir
Henry first expressed his kindly feeling
toward Russia in the present trial
through which that country was pass

he saw no reason whatsoever for es-

demonstrations of friendship which had
recently passed between the two cOun-

France and Japan, the premier accept
ed the existing conditions and approved
everything which tended towards peace.
Sir Henry upheld this announcements
with another which elected great ap-
plause. He said that the growth Of arm
amerts was Il great danger, that force
was not the only remedy and that econo-
my must be adopted. The government
would oppose aggression and would be
animated by 4 desire to remain on the
best terms with all nationalities and to
cooperate in the common work of civil
lization. In this, he pointed out, the gov

by the incoming Liberal government and
he made a powerful bid for the popular
vote.
Women suffragists who had invaded
the meeting waved nags and demanded
that women should be granted the right

for the speakership. Senator Malby said
What L said was that it was an i'm
peachable offence / never knew of such
coercion. The governor announces himself
for Wadswcrth and then up steps his in
surance commissioner, who has retained
his position under considerable difficult
ties, and declares that his three men are
for Wadsworth Then Railroad Commits

appointed recently, also announces him
