Some OF ;he conductors refused to
open the doors or move the trains 50
that the passengers could get off and
if was only after women had tainted
that they gave in.
The fire was caused at the Four

of the train. EfS,
The blue fame, which lighted up
the subway, scared the passengers; !;
women screamed and tainted, while

CANNOT LIVE UP TO RATE LAW.
Railways Point Out Some Impossible
Features.

Washington, Sept. 3.-Although the
railroad rate bill went into effect on
Tuesday last the railroads have not
complied with it's terms in some re-
spects, and probably they never will.
The reason is that it is physical
!mpossibility to do so. The new law
requires every railroad to post in each
station along its line complete copy
of passenger and freight tariffs to ev-
cry other point in the country.
The railroads have pointed out to
Sne commissioners that to comply with
the letter OF the law in this respect is
absolutely impossible. Not one of them
las yet been able to prepare such q
schedule as the act requires. and not
sne of them has force of expert
freight rate clerks to enable it to make
schedule
Besides this. 1t is argued that there
Is scarcely a station in the country
with sufficient wall space to accommo-
late the table when completed.

APPEAL TO THE COUNTRY.
Canadian Liberal Ministry Planning
Genera! Election,

Ottawa, Sept 3.-That Premier Lau-
rier will precipitate general elec-
tiOn. appealing to the country for a
renewal Of confidence, next summer,
Is the report now current here.
Sir Wilfred L.aurier will go to the
Pacific coast next month. The sig
niticance attached to this trip causes
the political prophets at the capital
to foretell an appeal to the people
within a few months. The present
parliamentary term will not end until
1909, yet those who profess to know
declare that everything is being made
ready for general election. 1t is
government party that shortly after
the close of the approaching autumnal
session the premier will dissolve par
lament and appeal to the country for
a renewal of confidence.
The reason assigned for so arbitrary
present life of parliament nave eX-
pired, is that the tariff will be revised
In such manner IS to satisfy the
popular demand. The rapid increase
In the population Cf Western Canada
during the last five years also requires
consideration in the matter of repre-
sentatiun in parliament. Two new
provin .es have been created since the
last decennial census and a CELSIUS of
the Northwestern provinces has just
been completed.
Greater representation will be given
the West, a liberal measure of tariff
reform will be passed to satisfy the
Western farmers, and thus any loss
Of support in the East to the govern
ment will be met by the West. This,
together with the unexcelled prosper
ity throughout the country, will insure
the triumphant return Of the govern
ment to power.
