Feb 3.-The dynamit- ing of the international bridge over the St. Croix river at Vanceboro, Me, yesterday. has led the authorities to take extra precautions to prevent any possible attack on the Canadian par liament building at the opening of the sessions of the legislative body tomor- row. The bridge incident has Sug- gested to officials that some partisan of a nation hostile to Great Britain might take advantage of the presence of the Duke of Connaught. governor general of Canada. and attempt some thing unpleasant in the Canadian sen ate chamber The guard stationed i'll the parliament buildings will be more numerous than usual and will be pro- vided with llSll cartridges. Strict scrutiny has b applied to the issu- ance of tickets of admission to the opening functions.
 The chief business of the session will be the voting of funds for the
 maintenance of the Canadian troops in the field and those, which are now be- ing raised and trained. It is under stood that the appropriation will be one hundred million dollars and that
 parliament will be asked to give the government authority to borrow that , amount from the Bank Of England, which is largely financing the war op- erajons Of Canada. There will also be 8 war revenue bill, which is expected 1 to take the form of a stamp tax, and increased customs charges against a number of necessities. including tea sugar and citrus fruits.
 Great interest is manifested in the attitude of the opposition, which has 1 kept political truce since the begin ming Of the war. but which. with q
 general election in imminent prospect, ] is hardly expected to allow govern
 rlent measures to pass without critic i ism.

CLERK At
YOUNG CHARGED
As ENBEznER
Gambling Said to Be Cause Of
Downfall; Returns From the
Coast to Face Music

Manuel r. Borges, former clerk at
the Alexander Young hotel, was placed
under arrest by Chief of Detectives
Arthur McDuffie early this morning as
the young man stepped off the steam
ler Matsonia, and few minutes later
was arraigned before Circuit Judge
Ashford on a charge of embezzling
more than $500 from the local hotel
company.
Coincident with Borges return II is
said that he came back of his own ac-
cord, and that he preferred to face
the music" rather than become fugi-
tive from Justice. 1t is said that
Borges wrote his former employers,
making full confession, before the de-
falcation was discovered by the regu.
lar monthly audit of hotel accounts.
Friends of Borges say that he had
a passion for gambling. and express
the belief that he became involved
before he realized the full extent Of
his financial troubles.
This was the denouement OF the Sc
cret indictment returned last week by
the territorial grand jury, the true bill
being against Borges. Deputy County
Attorney A. NJ Brown stated to the
court today that the amount named in
the Indictment is only part of the
entire sum which Borges is accused Of
filching from his employers, other al.
legged thefts bringing the total up to-
approximately $4,000.
Borges has been on the coast for
some time, returning on the Matsonia
today. The police today said he
was enrolled on the passenger list un-
der the alias of NJ. Boyd. He has been
given until next Saturday morning to
