PARLIAMENT ELECTS
MORE SUFFRAGE1TES
They Chain Themselves to Grille
of Ladies' Gallery.
LoEDoN'S GREAT SENSATION
Two Men i'm Strangers Gallery Act as
Allies, Throw Handbills. and Arc
Likewise Ejcctcd-Votes For
Women Demanded.

London. Suffragette disturbances
have driven the Government to the
unusual course of temporarily closing
the strangers and ladies galleries in
the House of Commons. This was
announced by the Speaker in response
to a question from Premier Asquith
and Mr.. Balfour, leader Of the Oppo-
sition, as Parliament was adjourned.
During the course of the evening,
while the House was discussing the
Licensing bill, sensation was caused
by the display Of placard and sud
den shrill cries from the ladies' gal
lery demanding votes for women.
while simultaneously a bundle of
handbills futtered down from the
strangers gallery at the opposite end
of the chamber, and man shouted
protests against injustice to women"
Attendants hurried to both gal
leries and the male offender was I'M
tremendously elected, while from the
ladies gallery presently sounds were
heard of a desperate struggle. Two
suffragettes had firmlyschained them
selves to the grille or lattice. from
behind which feminine eyes must
view the House in session, and re-
sisted for a time all efforts at re-
moval. not ceasing to cry out contin-
uously in shrill tones their demands
for votes.
The scene was watched with amaze
ment from the floor of the House.
When finally the suffragettes were
dragged from their posts and re-
moved portions of the grille itself
were removed with them.
Ten minutes later there was an
other dramatic scene. A man in the
strangers gallery flung another bun
die of bills down upon the House and
shouted: why don't you give wom-
en- votes and relieve the unem-
ployed?"
Attendants rushed upon him, but
he resisted fiercely the attempts made
to carry him bodily from the gallery.
After a desperate struggle the at
tendants succeeded in their efforts.
This champion of women was like
wise elected. About the same time
a large body of suffragettes made a
demonstration outside the Parliament
buildings and fifteen of them were
arrested
The removal of the two militant
suffragettes presented comical scene
to those in the corridors. Both of the
offenders were laughing heartily as
they were led out by posse of po-
licemen, one of the officers carrying
that portion of the iron work of the
grille to which the women were
chained. They were conducted into a
committee room and workmen were
summoned to file off the iron from the
chains which were securely padlocked
around the women's waists.
1t was found that the chains had
been carefully padded to prevent any
suspicious clanking noise, when the
suffragettes entered the ladies' GAL
lery. According to the companions
of the bold pair, the whole thing had
been planned beforehand with great
secrecy. One band was to demon
strate outside the building, another
in the lobby of the House, and a third
in the gallery. The gallery contingent
numbered fourteen, but it was at
tended by many passive sympathizers.

LAUR|ER FORCES WIN
CANADIAN ELECTIONS
Premier Will Stay in Power With
His Majority Cut in Two.
GRAFT CHARGES FALL FLAT
Sir Wiifrid Laurier Will Continue to
Lead the Federal Cabinet at OF
tava-Losses in Nova Scotia
Contest Extremely Bitter.

Ottawa. Ontario. = The general
elections of the Dominion House of
Commons, which took place through
out the Dominion, resulted in vic
tory for the Liberal party for another
term. Sir Wilfrid Laurier will lead
the Federal Government at Ottawa.
The campaign has been one Of the
most remarkable in the history of
Canada. Practically it has been
fought on single issue-that of
graft. That Sir Wilfrid Laurier him
self is honest has been and is adj
mitted by even his most bitter enc
mics, but it is alleged by the Conser-
vatives that the Premier has been
either singularly shortsighted or sim
gularly unfortunate in choosing the
men who have been his lieutenants.
Conservative and Independent
newspapers throughout the dominion
have for months been making charges
against the Government of the grav-
est character = charges which have
been supported by detailed state
ments and figures and by affidavits.
To all these accusations Sir Wilfrid
has made no reply except to declare
that his opponents have been search
ing the sewers" for their argu-
ments Neither have the Cabinet
Ministers attempted to refute the
numberless charges OF corruption.
That there was ground for these
charges it was impossible for the
Liberals to deny, but the strong per-
sonality of Sir Wilfrid Laurier and
his vigorous railway policy minim-
lied the effect of the opposition at
tacks, while an era of returning pros
perity, mainly brought about by a
fine harvest yield in the West, quite
offset the opposition cry for change
of government
That the charges Of graft made
against Ministers and prominent Lib
eral members fell rather fiat in the
end is indicated by the return of
nearly every prominent Liberal
against whom the accusations were
levelled.
The returns indicate the following
results:
Nova Scotia = Twelve Liberals. 6
Conservatives; governmentloss of 5.
New Brunswick-Ten Liberals, 8
Conservatives; a government gain
of 2.
Prince Edward Island-Three Lib
erals, 1 Conservative; a government
gain of 2.
Quebec-Forty-siX Liberals, 10
Conservatives; no change.
Thirty-seven Liberals. SO
Conservatives out of sc seats; a
slight government gain.
Manitoba-Three Liberals. Con-
servatives; opposition gain of 8.
Saskatchewan - Five Liberals; 2
Conservatives (new DISTRICTS.
Alberta-Three Liberals; 2 Con-
servatives (new districts).
British Columbia-Two Conserva-
tives.
The latest figures indicate that Sir
Wilfrid Laurier will come back to
Ottawa with a majority in the House
of Commons of about 50. He had 65
in the recent House.
