bond which unites this Dominion to the
Mother country is Light and almost
impercepible.

Portland, Me, Sept. 5.-The forces
for and against constitutional prohi-
bition IN Maine will enter on the closing
week of the campaign tomorrow and
activity on both sides will be little
more marked.
The Prohibitiohists will continue
their meetings with their corps Of
speakers from outside the State, aug
mented by Former Governor Glenn of
North Carolina and Congressman Rich
mond T. Hobson of Alabama.
The repeal movement workers prob
ably will adhere To their original plan
OF distributing large amount of lit
erature rather than holding public
meetings.
The present amendment to the Con-
stitution on which the people will vote
a week from Monday, prohibited the
Legislature from passing any law all
lowing the sale Of liquor in the State
fer other than medicinal or mechanical
purposes There is also an old statute
that prohibits the sale of iiduor for any
purpose besides those already allowed
and in the event the present consti-
tutional amendment should be repeal
ed By the people it would be necessary
for the Legislature to repeal the pro-
hihi.ion statute and enact new IL
quor law.
The city and town registration
boards began their sessions this week
and so far there has been consider
able larger registration in most places
than there was for the State election
a year ago. and 1t was then larger
than it had been for years.
The increased registration is taken
to indicate a vote that will probably
be larger than on any State election
in recent Years, When the amend
ment was adopted in 1854, the total
vote cast on the question was 1851 TO
4S.107 tor Governor.
The large registration this year is
more significant in that the experience
cd political workers on either side are
apparently not interesting themselves
in getting it ont. although there are

Reciprocity but a
Step to Annexation.

st. John. ~ r., Sept with three
more weeks of campaigning before the
Canadian federal election, the contest IN
New Brunswick is now well under way,
though in the cities there has not until
recently been much platform speaking.
In the country districts both parties have
been holding meetings and there Is ex-
hibited everywhere a keen interest, The
reciprocity issue overshadows all others.
The Liberals give figures to show that
in lumber. fisheries and agriculture-the
staples of this proYince--the people of
New Brunswick will be greatly benefited
by the removal of the tariff barriers
which bar them from the larger markets
to the south of the border line. They
argue an appeal TO the heart as we'll as
the pocket and predict that with reci-
procity in force many of Canada's sons
and daughters now III the states will, I'M
der the better times predicted, return to
the homestead which they left to better
their condition under the stars and
Stripes.
The Conservatives are using chiefly
what has come to be styled the loyalty
cry--predictiou that reciprocity is but "A
step to the annexation of Canada to the
United States.
The chief event in the contest here Sc
far has been the visit of the Liberal
leader. Sir Wilfrid Laurier. who was the
central figure of "a great demonstration
He addressed 1000 people in the Victoris
rink and several thousand more could moi

sition meetings in New Brunswick fol

ST. Johns, n. f.. Sept Reports OF
the drowning of Mary Morgan, IA
year-old girl passenger. and Arthur
Ballantine, third officer OF the vessel,
who went to her rescue when she was
washed overheard, We're brought in by
the steamer Pretorian, which arrived
here from Liverpool late yesterday
The Pretorian ran into hurricane
"Wednesday and it was during the blow
that the girl was washed overheard.
Although the accident was not wit

that Ballantine dove over after the girl
in the hope of saving her. When the
two were missed no trace of them
could be found. Miss Morgan was on
her way to this city with her mother
TO meet her father.
Two other passengers were knocked
down by the rolling of the ship in the
