SIR ROBERT BOND MOBBED
Former Premier OF Newfoundland
Hurled Into Sea by POpulace.
Exposure of Plot to Bring About
Confederation of Island
with Canada.

Montreal Quebec. April 3O-The discov-
cry made on Tuesday that Sir Robert
Bond. though apparently antagonistic 10
the move, has been quietly negotiating
with the Canadian government with
view 20 bringing about confederation be-
tween Canada and Newfoundland. has
aroused the whole island, according to
special dispatch from 81. Johns received
here this evening.
At an election meeting at Western Bay
to-day. where Sir Robert had called in
his little steamer. in which he is making
his election tour, the ex-premier was

Of stalwart fishermen. raised shoulder

the ocean, q drop Of fifteen feet
He was rescued by members OF his

sisted, almost before he had rubbed the
water from bic eyes. that he would 90
back and face his assailants and prove TO
them that he was stanch 20 the interests
OF Newfoundland and the fisher folk.
Never has an election been so bitterly
fought. The exposure Of the confedera-
ton plot has resulted in Bond making
counter charges that Sir Edward Morris.
the present premier, is in the pay Of the
Canadian Pacific Railroad. which Is ac-
cused Of supplying the money TO carry on
Morris campaign. Morris has made an
affidavit denying ;he statement abso-
lUtely.
Bond. last night al Carbonear, stated
that Morris tried 10 bribe a colleague FOR
$50 900. Morris denies the truth Of this
statement and threatens criminal libel

The "Drys" Win in Ashland.

The Ashland people held an cleo
tion on Tuesday of last week to de-
termine the attitude of the city on
the liquor question. The "wets"
made vigorous campaign all along
the line, but the prohibitionists held
them down and won victory by the
unprecedented majority of 400 votes
and also defeated what is known as
the Pasadena plan" by majority
of 44S, This will settle the whiskey
question in Ashland for consider
able time.
There was a strong fight between
the progressives and the conserva-
tives The conservatives elected
their candidates for the council with
single exception, but as the hold
overs are progressive men they are
In the majority and can dictate the
policy OF the council The Ashland
people propose to do considerable
paving the coming year, notwith-
standing the fight of certain indi-
viduals to prevent It.

OREGON GRAPE FOR
BROOKLYN CHURCH

At the Christmas services IN
Brooklyn Tabernacle, where Henry
Ward Beecher preached his poweriui
anti-slayery sermons for SO many
years, the decorations will consist oil
Garlands and clusters of oregon
grape. A large shipment of the state
foliage sent East was the best that
could be found. The leaves showed
all the rich Autumn tints and were
glossy and beautiful. It's close re-
semblance TO holly makes 1t pecu-
liarly appropriate for Christmas dec
orations. Aside from the historical
Significance of Brooklyn Tabernacle,
Oregon people have an interest in 1t
from the fact that its present pastor,
DR.. Newell Dwight-Hillis, has lectur-
ed here and owns an orchard in the
Hood River valley.-Sunday Oregon
! ian.
There is a mistake in the above
either in the name Of the church or
in the name OF the minister who
made 1t famous. Plymouth church
is the one in which the noted Henry
Ward Beecher preached and Dr.
Hills is his successor The Brooklyn
Tabernacle was Talmage's church
We suppose the writer inadvertently
used the name of this church.
A year ago the past Christmas
Plymouth church was decorated with
Oregon grape and 1t was the fact
that the pastor had strong leaning
toward Oregon that induced him tc
advise the use Of Oregon holly,
