CANADIAN PACIFIC

1t has been generally conceded
that the Canadian Pacific has al

Canadian road will be in here is
not at all doubted.
That the coming is nearer than
some suppose is indicated by the

Whether 1t will come across the

from the north by way of Sumas,
remains to be seen. Surveys have
been made for both routes. It is
possible that both routes will be
used, giving the road a belt line

IN MESSINA

ROME, May 1S.-It is feared
that the return to Messina of the
refugees who have been supported
in various Sicilian and Italian
towns by the relief fund, will be
marked with rioting and disorder.
The present population of the
stricken city is 10000, and the
refugees who will return number
about $4,000.
There are but 6,255 huts in the
city and many of these are occu-
pied by foreigners.
Yesterday the Roman earth

not have accepted open aid from her.
But she saw that she would never get
the money in time to save him.
The jewels had inspired her with a
wild idea. She had taken them as
soon as her brother was safely up
stairs-borrowed them. let me say. for
she put them In pledge and raised the
money to redeem them at the earliest
moment.
Barber Swartz's brother stole an
empty box and was nearly murderer
for the sake of It. After shaving in
his brothers shop he was suddenly
alarmed, and he fed. leaving the box
behind him. His brother found II
