OF Fifty In Parliament.

Montreal.-The Laurier government
and reciprocity suffered an over.
whelming defeat in Canada on Thurs.
day. BY q political landslide. the Lib.
eral majority of forty-three was swept
away, and the Conservative party Sc
cured one Of the heaviest majorities,
upward Of fifty. that any Canadian
party has ever had. Seven cabinet
ministers who had served with Pre-
mier Laurier were among the defeat
ed candidates.
The Liberals lost ground in practi-
cally every province OF the dominion.
Where they won their majorities
were small. Where the Conserva-
tives 0 their majorities were tre-
mendous. Ontario. the leading prov
ince of Canada. declared almost un-
animously against the administration
and reciprocity. Robert l.. Borden,
leader of the Conservative party, will
shortly become the prime minister of
Canada. He will be supported in par
lament by a working majority of
members far more than ample for his
purposes.
The government defeat means that
the F1elding-Knox reciprocity agree
ment, ratified by the American Con-
9 In extra session, will not be in
'troduced when the twelfth parlia-
ment assemblies next month, and that
a revised basis of trade with the
United States, looking to closer COM

Of trade expansion within the empire
