were killed, four were fatally injured
and nine others suffered fractured
arms and legs in an explosion late

CONGRESS MAY
OUT TUESDAY
Cotton Tariff Bill as Amended
by Senate Will Pass
House.

Washington, Aug. 19.-The house
ways and means committee today de-
cided by strict party vote to favor
ably report the cotton tariff revision
bill as amended and passed in the
senate and to call it up for passage
Monday.
The committees action insured the
passage of the bill by the Democratic
house but it will fail to become q
law for the same reasons that its
two predecessors, the wool and free
list bills, failed, the veto of the pres
ident and the inability of congress to
override the veto. All tariff revision
legislation. however, will be renewed
at the regular session Of congress
beginning In December.
Formal announcement that con-
gress would adjourn either Tuesday
or Wednesday was made in the house
today by Majority Leader Underwood.
Later the senate and house leaders
virtually agreed upon adjournment on
Tuesday afternoon.

Winnipeg, Aug. 19.-Attorney Gen.
eral G. G. Campbell, Conservative, at
a public meeting last night attended
by a great crowd made perhaps the
most interesting statement of the
evening. Referring to Sir Wilfred
Laurier's statement at Simcoe that the
reciprocity pact could be repealed
within one year said:
WAS ever such nonsense talked by
a prime minister? TO repeal the pact
within year would cause a great
affront to the United States and to
the people of the United States. 1t
would disturb the business of the
United States and that nation would
on one preteXt or other, pick a quar-
rel with Canada and force war on us.

STEAD'S VIEWS
Discusses Colonial Neutrality and
Laurier's Definition

London, Aug 19-W. T. Stead writ
ing in the Review of Reviews says:
There has been good deal OF some
what wrong headed discussion in
English and South African papers as
to the precise degree of liberty as
serted at the conference for the COL
onies in war time. The misunder-
standing is entirely due to the mis-
taken use of the word neutral by
Premier Laurier. His first declara-
ton on the subject was made to me
when he was in London just after the
Boer war He used the words right
to remain neutral then. l Immediate
ly pointed out that from the point of
international law no part of the Brit
ish empire could be neutral when the
empire was at war and that if he
wished to be neutral he would have
to declare the independence of Cana-
da. His reply showed he had not
meant neutral but merely non-com-
batant. He said of course, we might
be attacked and if we We're attacked
we should have to defend ourselves,
but if we hold aloof from the war
| don't think we should be attack
ed"
Stead continues: This sufficient
ly disposes of the ingenious argument
of the Volkstem that in case of war
it might be convenient for the en-
pire if South Africa declared her neu-
trality Non-combatant the colonies
may be while they remain under the
flag, but neutral they can never be
when England is at war unless they
haul down the flag"
Stead also writes in regard to the
Canadian election: Possibly Ameri-
can and agricultural interests COM
bined will give Laurier more than the
mandate he requires. When the cul-.
tivators of the soil have such deadly
foes to face as bush fires which have
swept like a tornado of devastation
over hundreds of miles of northern
Ontario they may be pardoned for
thinking they should not further be
exposed to the purely facitious OBJ
struciion of protective tariff mon
gers,''

In the kitchen they were confront

were the two children, cold in death,
pieces Of rope still tied around their
necks. The children were boy and
girl, James and Hazel, aged 10 and
10 years. From the condition Of the
house it is evident that they were
able to put up some sort of struggle
for their lives, but the frantic woman
finally overcame them and by tying
pieces of thin rope around their necks
they were slowly strangled to death.
After undressing them and placing
them side by side in bed, the woman
then tied q piece OF rope to the bottom

Are Maintaining Restricted
Service Under Military and
Police Protection.
GREAT CENTRAL LINES
were OPERATED TODAY
Northwestern Offered Double Pay to
Employees Who Refused to Strike
Union Pickets Not Allowed to
Talk to Men at Work.

London. Aug. 19.-Chief railway
companies of England are living up
to their promises to maintain re-
stricted train services under the pro-
lection Of the soldiers and police.
Trains were running this morning on
al lines, although in greatly reduc-
ed schedules.
A fair percentage Of the men re-
manned loyal while a large number
of applications were made for work
by outsiders. Even some of the union
men continued at their duties, being
reluctant to strike while the negotia-
tions for a settlement were proceed
ing. A few unions adopted resolu-
tions not to strike until some decis-
ion has been arrived at between
the government and leaders and rail-
way managers.
Spasmodic riots on small scale
continued at scattered points through
the country but London remained
calm. The railway centres were
closely picketed by representatives of
the unions, but these were prevented
by the soldiers and police from hav-
ing any intercourse with the men at
work
The railway stations presented a
rather deserted appearance during
the forenoon, most of the porters be-
ing out. Few persons attempted to
travel and the usual rush was con-
fined to- these lines operating subur-
ban services. The Great Central rail-
way lines, which were completely
paralyzed yesterday. resumed opera
tions today, the managers being sue
cessful in, moving few trains in and
out Of London. The Northwestern
railroad. upon which d I1rge proper;
tion Of the men remained loyal,
maintained good service and the COM
pany lin its manifesto to their en-
ployees, announced that all who re-
fused to strike would be given double
pay during the strike period.
The Great Northern railway also
kept up fairly good passenger serv-
ice, but like other line running north
was unable to accept goods. @
These features Of the strike, effect
ing as they do the working classes,
helped to make the strike unpopular
with those not directly concerned.
The workers are suffering much more
than the others as all roads have been
compelled to discontinue the usual
cheap fares to workingmen, and the
inability Of the latter to get to their
work has created in some instances
q hostile feeling towards the union.
The strikers are meeting with more
success outside of London. The
strike is general in Dublin. where
the unions claim that 80 per cent of
the employees are out. The express
from Dublin to Cork and Dublin to
Rosslare arbor have been discontin-
ued and the trains operated today
were in the hands of inexperienced
men.
