Niagara Falls.
Toronto, Aug. G-lnspector Dew
arrived In Toronto early yesterday
and shortly afterward left by boat for
Niagara Falls.
1t is strongly suspected that his
mission is TO arrange so that he may
get his prisoners out of the country
with less publicity than attended
their arrival. In moments of his
greatest annoyance the Scotland Yard
detective intimated strongly that he
would so manage affairs that the ex-
citment which marked his coming to
Canada would not be duplicated when
the party reached England.
II this purpose is to be accomplish
ed the departure from this side must
be made In secrecy.
Nobody but those Immediately
concerned" Dew Is quoted as saying,
will know upon what steamer we
leave or when we land on the other
side"
This has been accepted by the news
papermen as something OF a challenge
and so has aroused special interest
In the inspectors immediate doings
Il Is supposed that he Is now engaged
In interviewing steamship and rail
road officers to ascertain how the trip
back to England may be accomplish
ed In the most secretiye manner.
