readiness to observe the obligation hen
laid upon him.
The occasion was the centennial ceIe-

emperor arose to ascend the tribune,

Have the ladies o. the intermountain

remains Of the six in all probability
have been reduced to ashes, as the
flames have been sweeping through the
stope through which they sought to es-
cape almost continually since the fire
started.
Last Chance to Escape.
Instead of coming up through a shaft
through which more than 100 miners
made their, escape. these six men ap-
parently became confused and. in a
dash, got beyond the range of the res
cuers, whose prompt work and their
grasp of the situation saved
the lives of about $50 men.

That some candidates withheld the
votes they obtained yesterday is known.
Just how many did this is not known
they were in the minority, however. Be
cause the standing is published this
morning for the last time before the
contest closes number of participants
preferred to conceal their real strength.
Others are confident that they are going
to win, and are not spelling their
chances at all by letting opponents
know how they stand 1t remains TO be
seen how strong those who preferred ID
withhold their late votes really were at
this point
Will itSbe found that the conserya-
tives were stronger than was suspected?
Or Will il be found that those who were
confident of success. no matter who
knew how many votes they had as the
race turned into the home stretch, be
the victorious? These two questions are
being asked by candidates. their friends
and those who are interested IL the con-

rather than because of any friendship

Mystery Over Al.
From now on nobody will know how
many votes any candidate is getting.
Not until the contest is closed and the
sealed ballot box opened for the last and
deciding count will anyone know who is
leading or what is happening The Con-
