Most of the hostility to the match came

CR|PPEN AND GIRL

Week for Which They

QUEBEC, August s.-The week for
which DIR. Crippen and Miss Leneve,
jointly charged with murder, were re-
manded by the provincial court expired
at IL o'clock this morning. but Judge
Ayers, before whom they were originally
arraigned, said that in the ordinary
course of events the prisoners would not
be requested to appear in court either to-
day or at any other time before they sail
for England.
The judge said that he expected to have
no more direct dealings with the two un-
less they exercise their right to demand
another appearance in court.
Sergt. Mitchell of Scotland Yard will
arrive this week from London bearing the
application from England for the extradi-
ton of Crippen and his companion. The
papers will be presented to Judge Anglers
and the further proceedings will be purely
formal unless the accused abandon their

Base of Democratic Hopes.

Democratic hope bounds high in Jersey
ard is explained on the same grounds
advanced in New York and New England.
They are counting on the dissatisfaction
OF the masses with the high cost of liv-
ing and general unrest.
Not much headway can be made in New
Jersey with free trade or low tariff ar
guments with the laboring men. They
are pretty well educated on the tariff
question and have learned which side
their bread is buttered on. They are
murmuring, however, at the high price
OF the butter.
Railroad rates form an issue in politics
In east Jersey. You will probably recall
that early in May the railroads carrying
the great army of Jersey commuters to
their daily toll in Manhattan announced
material increase in passenger fares
The cummoters, groaning under bur-
dens OF high prices of food clothing and
necessaries of life, felt this was the last
straw to break the camePs back They
formed associations to fight the increases,
appealing first to the governor to call the
legislature to enact legislation preventing
the advances. Gov. Fort declined to do
this, holding that ii was not a subject for
legislative action, but within the domain
OF federal regulation

James. Earl of Euston. cousin of the
King of England. most eminent supreme
pro-grand master of the great priories Of
the knights Templar of England and
Wales. etc, arrived here today to attend
the thirty-first conclave of the order in

Fergus. the yacht builder; Henry Homer.
aid-de-camp to the Earl of Euston; r.
Newton Crane. past grand herald of the
great preceptory of England and Wales.
and Thomas Frazer, great marshal of
England.
Failure of trains to arrive on schedule
made the task of the escort committees
difficult, and some delegations were left
to their. own devices temporarily. But
there was no mistake about meeting the
earl and party. An escort of 2O local
knights. under command of Eminent Sir
Benjamin S. Wilson, met the distinguish
ed delegation from abroad. They were
taken to the Congress Hotel. where Act
ing Grand Master Melish and the earl
cordially greeted each other.
Kilties Prove Useful.
A band with one of the Canadian dele
cations is credited with saving the day at
the headquarters of the reception and
escort committees. Every train carded to
arrive came in, but many OF them were
late. The committees thus we're thrown

arrived the committeeman were apparent
