Montreal, Sept. 22-Canada awak-
ened today confronted by the striking
new situation developed from the
fact that reciprocity with the United
States has been rejected: that the
Laurier government has, been defeat

tive ministry.
That the changes enacted durine
the past twenty-four hours by the
registration Of the will of the elec.
torate are radical Is shown by the ov-
erwhelming majority whereby the
voters turned down the agreement
which Laurier had made with the
United States for the mutual removal
Of duties on food and other natural
products; by the defeat Of seven
cabinet ministers out Of thirteen who
went to the polls. and by the politi-
cal landslide which will retire to pri-
vate life, Sir Wilfrid Laurier. &C.
knowledged to be one of the biggest
figures in the British empire.
Out Of nine Canadian provinces
only Quebec, Laurier's native place
came anywhere near remaining faith
full to him and Quebec did not do any
too we'll. Ontario. the greatest Of the
provinces, dealt Laurier terrible
blow, going almost solid against him
and the same may be said Of Mani
toba and British Columbia. Saskatch-
evan and Alberta, the two great wheat
raising provinces, gave mild sup
port to the cause Of reciprocity.
As for the reciprocity agreement, II
is not likely to be heard Of again soon
in the Canadian house. Any measure
of this kind must be introduced from
the government side and it is not like
ly that Borden and his followers will
make any move in the matter.
There Is considerable interest
manifested in the view which the peo-
pie Of the United States will take OF
the overwhelming rejection Of reci-
procity.
Editorial Comments
Editorial comments Of prominent
public men will be read with great
interest in all papers of Canada.
Under one heading, "The Ending OF
Laurier." the Gazette says today:
"As a result Of yesterdays voting
upon the issue which he recommend
ed and pressed upon the country, Sir
Wilfrid has just one thing to do, he
must go to the governor general with
