British General
Election Certain.

i.O,irCn. Nov. 1l.--.An carry general
election being assured, the only ques-
ton now agitatins the country is
whether it will take place in Deem
Der or January. Herbert Henry AS
gath the prime minister, who must
decide this question, thus far has kept
his own counsel. He left town quiet
ly this afternoon and not even the
members Of his cabinet knew his des-
tinationl until the y newspapers an
nounced his arrival at Sandringham
where King George is in residence
The object of the visit is to acQuaint
His Majesty, who. like his father, Of
ten confers with the cabinet ministers,
of the failure Of the constitutional con-
ference and to advise him of the course
Tire government intends to pursue
1t is believed that the cabinet has
decided not to carry on any further
work with the present Parliament
without such guarantees as would in
sure success to the governments pol
icy. Ordinarily the resolutions on the
veto power of the House of Lords
which passed the House of Commons
at the last session would be discussed
in the upper chamber and the govern
ment would await their rejection be-
fore taking action The refusal of the
constitutional conference to accept the
governments compromise, however,
makes discussion of the veto resolu-
tlon useless in the view of the Radi-
Gals. and the opinion prevails that the
government either must resign or adj
wise the dissolution of Parliament.
1t is significant that The trend of
feeling in Liberal circles distinctly ia
VOrS an immediate election, and il is
generally considered that this would
be wise course for the Liberals to
take. as they would stand a splendid
chance of securing an increased ma
JorIty in the House of Commons. At
tacks on the social and other legisla-
ton favored by the government have
lost much of their force since June

helped to populariZe the Free Trade

The Town hall was filled Thursday
evening when the Seniors of Winthrop
High school presented their beautiful
play 'Hiawatha.' The affair was en-
tirely Il success, as no detail was ne
elected which would add to the effect.
The electrical effects We're very beauti-
full throughout the play, particularly in
the Rainbow chorus. Each character
and all members of tn. chorus were in
Indian costume, some of the costumes
being very striking. Even the programs,
printed in red ink upon yellow paper,
suggested the character of the entertain
ment.
Miss Eva Scales. who instructed the
young people for the play, gave the read
ing Very finely and the various scenes
We're enacted in pantomine. The stage
was set with fir trees, and Il typical In
dian wiawam in the background Harold
Clifford and Miss Dorothy Webb played
the leads. IIiawatha and Minnehaha. and
their work was very artistic and worthy
of the highest praise. Miss Mae Sargent
had Il difficult role-that of Nakomis, the
Indian mother-and she gave the part to
perfection. The arrowmaker, Minneha-
has father. was we'll given by Edward
Boothby, and Winthrop Webb as the
singer Chibiabis. was very fine. He sang
a peculiar Indian song very effectively
in the third act.
This act also had the dance of Paw
Pee Keewis tArnold Thomas), which
brought a roar of laughter from the
house and proved one of the hits of the
evening This number was .encored. |as
were also the Rainbow, Silver Bell, Ma
pannee, Red Glover and Moonbird cho-
ruses and the Tommy Tomahawk drill.
The Napannee cherus received two re-
calls. ~
The anal scene, picturing the death OF
Minnehaha, was perhaps the most beau
tiful of the play, and Miss Webb's work
in this scene was particularly effective.
Miss Hazel Shaw acted as accompan-
ist and sang two solos. The other solos
were by s. g. Bean, Miss Festa stock
ford. Leone Wood and Winthrop Webb,
Roland Stockford played several violin
solos between the acts. which were great
