liltiRNG IN IiAIlIIWN LEADINGJAHKETS PARLIAMENT IN SESSIflN Police and Dragoons Had Long Fight With the Mob. 4â€".»â€" 'A despatch from Hamilton says: Never In the history of the city were scenes of such wild disorder witnessed as those of Saturday night, when for over three hours the militia and the police charged a mob of about 10,000 people continu- ously. In the afternoon the infantry- men were stationed about the city at each of the corners where the street rail- way swdches are. They were given strict instructions to allow no person to interfere with the switches. There was no trouble. however, until after night fell. Crowds began to gather then around places in the centre of the city, and by 7 :J‘clock there \Vcre many thousands ou . lean READING THE RIOT ACT. ' Mayor Bigger and Sheriff Middleton were at the City Hall all afternoon in readiness to read the riot. act, but not until 7.10, \vheg the crowd began to show a violent pirit, (lid they go out on the steps of the City Hall. The Sheriff proceeded to read in aloud voice, with an accompaniment of boat- mg and jecring by the crowd. Before the act was read the policemen had been drawn up in front of the Sheriff on the road, each man with his baton drawn, and not far away were fifty-five cavalrymcn armed with swords and one hundred infantry men armed with rifles on which bayonets were fixed. The militia was under the command rf Licut.-Colonel Dcnison and Lieut.-Colon- e1 Ogilvie. CHARGING THE CROWD. Immediately after the act was read the policemen were given orders to I ;. chargethe crowd. They separated, half . gomg in each direction, and hammered ,. from King to Cannon. the crowd indiscriminately. The people fled with great haste in every direction open to them. In about two minutes James street was pretty well cleared After the police had passed through about one hundred people were lying in the road, where they had been knocked down by blows 'on the head or forced off their feet by the crowd. Several went. back to the City Hall, which was made a temporary hospital for the remainder of the night, to have the City Hall and the otherl their heads dressed. It was only a short time before the Crowd was back again, and from that time on until 10.30 the police and military charged it continu- ously. The cavalry rode on sidewalks, clearing thcm, while the infantry and the police, made lines across the streets and swept the crowd before them. The people dispersed, going up and down the side streets, leading from and to James strect. only to return and begin jccring amt hooting again; It. was the most persistent mob that could be im- agined. BIG FIGHT NEAR \NALNUT STREET. I What was perhaps the affray of the evening took place on King street, near the corner of \X'alnut street, after the crowds had been repeatedly dispersed from the central part of the city. A number gathered there, and placed a couple of barrels of cement or stones and some planks on the track. When the first car came along the motorman tried to ri‘ish through, as he realized in stopping he and others in the car were in great danger. The blockade of stones resisted the ear, and when the men in it got out to clear it away they were vio- lently assailed, and beat a hasty retreat to the car and threw themselves on the floor. The crowd showered bricks and stones at the car, battering it almost to pieces. Screens and windows were soon broken and many missiles hit those in the car. They lay on the floor for a short time. but were maddened into an attack, and buried the stones thrown at them back at. the crowd, injuring some. Some one telephoned to the cen- tre of the city for the soldiers, and the Royal Canadian Dragoons and the Horse Artillerymen galloped down full speed on the rioters, and they fled in all di- rections in great haste. The track was cleared. amt the wreck of the car pro- ceeded to the east end barn. About all that was left intact. were the trucks. Motorman Arthur Bertram was injured in the spine. He was taken to the hospital, where he remained over night. lNearly all the other men in the car were more or less bruised by stones. About 10 o‘clock the cars were called 1 i in and after that the crowds went home. The soldiers went in about 11 o‘clock. - COST HALF A MILLION. Amount Fernie Strikers and Coal Com- pany are Out. A despatch from Vancouver, B. C., says: The Fernie strike has cost half a million, and the Crow's Nest Coal Com- pany lost one hundred thousand in pro- fits, and it will cost fifty thousand dol- lars to place the mines in good condi- tion again, which will take one month. The men lost the strike and three lum- dred thousand in wages. The Govern- ment lost twenty thousand in royalties. ._____.+__.._ COMPULSORY FLAG-FLYING. Proxiesal Voted Down by the House of Lords.

John Sullivan, who stuck to the vessel until she broke , up, was washed ashore through the gap, clinging for life to the top of the wreck» ed vessel’s cabin. Thomas Topping, the second engineer, one of those capsized from the first lifeboat, clung to the cabin- tcp with Capt. Sullivan until he lost his hold and sank from exhaustion. The schooner P. B.

The barge Athens sunk in Lake Erie. and Capt. Markle, of Milwaukee, and his crew of six men are lost. Off the new breakwater, at the. en‘ trance of Holland llar‘oor, four men were swept into the lake and drowned. The gate created much havoc in the Detroit.

Large Gathering Attended the N0: 1 v/ vember Opening A despatch from Ottawa says: The opening of Parliament without. the usual adjuncts of winter is somewhat of. a novelty. Thursday was almost. as balmy as a morning in May. There was the usual crowd in' front of the l‘arlia- meiit Buildings. The Governor-Gem-ral arrived sharp at 3 o‘clock, the cavalcade beng preceded by a drlachment. of the Princess Louise Dragoon Guards. AS soon as his Excellencys \carriage drew up under the tower the band of the (i.-G.l<‘.ll. played the National Anthem and the guard of honor presented arms. the scene within the. Senate Chamber was; as beautiful as of yore. All tilt“ seats usually occupied by the Senators, and. in fact. every inch of the “001‘ 5111100 of the ehamher of the Upper House, was utilized to accommr’idate the wives and daughters of Senators and members and of prominent. personagm‘ from all parts of the country, The general galleries were crowded. notwithstanding the fact that_lhc Sergeant-aI-Arms had restricted the issue of tickets of admission. SPEECH FROM THE THRONE. After the Commons had been sent for and Speaker Sutherland and the mem- hers of the Lower House had taken their places below the bar, his Excellency opened Parliament. with the following speech from the throne: Hon. Gentlemen of the Senate: Gentlemen of the House of Commons: In opening the third session of the tenth Parliament of Canada I avail my- self of the opportunity to offer you my congratulations on the unparalleled prosperity prevailing in all parts of the Dominion. The harvest has been abun- and the trade with both British and foreign nations continues to expand in annually increasing Volume, with every prospect of continued growth for many years to come. The number of immigrants seeking homes in Canada continues yearly to increase, and it is very satisfactory to observe that a larger proportion than in my former year has in the past season come from the British Isles. During the recess following the last session I visited the Western provinces and was much gratified to note the great advance that is being made in the de- velopment of the vast resources of those highly~favored sections of the Dominion. I found the people of the West rejoicing in their prosperity and full of hope and confidence in the future growth of its agricultural and industrial wealth. ENTITLED TO MORE MEMBERS. The quinquennial census recently taken in the provinces of Alberta and Saskat- chewan shows that those, provinces are now entitled to an increase in their re- presentation in the House of Commons. A bill giving effect to that provision will be submitted for your approval. In ac- cordance with the announcement made in a previous session, you will be asked to consider a bill for the revision of the Customs tariff. in“: Cunt, The sanction of Parliament will be I'rquirvd to give legal effect to the treaty made with the Empire of Japan. A bill for that purpose will be submitted for. your approval. The products and manufactures of' Canada shown at the recent internu- lional cvhibiiion held in the City of Milan proved a great. attraction, and as: a result. it. is confidently believed on", trade with Central and Southern Eurt _ie can be materially increased. The naval quished the use of the dockyard at Hall- fax. a proposal was made to transfer itt to the Government of Canada. This offer has been accepted and the dockya'rd will now he used by the Dcpartmcnt/ of Marine and Fisheries as a base for its operations in connection with aids to fumigation. 1 Many immigrants having in recent years been induced to come to Canada by false representations made in the United Kingdom, at the request of the Minizter of Labor a clause has been added to the Merchants’ Shipping Bill now before the Imperial Parliament for the punisl'imcnt of any pensons who may be found guilty of that offence. EXPANSION IN REVENUE. Gentlemen of the House of Commons‘i The accounts of the past year will the laid before you. I am glad to say thgt the revenue has shown a large expa â€" sion, and has not only provided for ordinary expenditure, but has'also to a. great. extent provided for the outlay on capital account. . The estimates for the coming year \vil'I be laid before you at an early date. Honorable Gentlemen of the Senate: Gentlemen of the House of Commons: A united application having been re- ceived by my Ministers from the Govern- merits of the several provinces asking for 'an increase in the provincial subsi- dies, a vconfcrence was recently held, when the reasons for granting addition- a1 aid were fully set forth and discussed. Resolutions based on the conclusions reached by my Government will be sub ,1 milled for your consideration. ‘ ‘ Bills will be laid before you amending the Election Acts, the Post-office Act,_the Dominion Lands Act, a bill for the more’ ’ effective supervision and inspection 01 Canadian canned food products, meats and fish, a bill relating to the sale and manufacture of patent medicines. and also a bill to make better provision for/j dealing With juvenile delinquents. .1 It is hoped that the report of the cord- mission appointed to inquire into the working of insurance companies will shortly be completed. when it will be laid upon the table. i The subjects I have mentioned will, hope, receive your best considerati and the measures to be submitted your approval will, I trust, tend tc the well-being and good government f our fair Dominion.

A despatch from Sturgeon Falls says: The progressive town of Sturgeon Falls was seourged by fire early on Sunday morning, and the principal business block of the town is now a. mass of smouldering ruins. About 3 o‘clock in the morning Electrician Wm. Young noticed a blaze in the rear of the life- Arthur Block, on King Street, and at once turned in an alarm. Although the fire department responded quickly the block was in flames and beyond saving when the water was turned on. Neil McArtluu‘, owner of the block, occupied part of the upper portion of the build- ing, and his family were rescued with ditliculty in their nightrobes without time to save anything. The attention of the firemen was given to saving the surrounding buildings, and by hard work the Lillie and Parliament Blocks were saved. although damaged consider- ably by fire and water. The entire busi. ness portion of the town was in danger of being wiped out. but fortunately the wind was favorable, and the fire area was confined to the .‘vchrthur Block on King Street. and a building on William Street, besides sheds and stables. The fire is supposed to have started in \\‘eightman's Bakery, but the clean sweep made by the flames renders the origin a matter of conjecture only. The loss will reach $10,000, with insurance of $13,000. +___ MAXI.“ GUN SAVED THE CHIEF. “evolutionists Attempt to Police Official. A despaich from Odessa says: The attempt to murder the chief commissary of the Odessa police on Wednesday was frustrated by the use of :1 Maxim gun. The aggressive band. said to have been composed of social revolutionists, suit fered the death of three, and the wound- ing of three others. The remainder cs- caped. Terrorists seized $2,000 in the Rus- sian Navigation Company’s office on Wednesday, after killing a police official. Two thousand copies of the peaceful regenerationist party's appeal were seized. Assassinale SIXTEEN MEN PERISIIII. Loss of the Norwegian Bari-pie Mang in the Lower St. LawrenCe. A despatch from Quebec says: The Government steamer Druid. Captain KOOWIg, master. arrived in port early on Sunday morning from Red Island, and gives out the fact that the Norwegian barun Magda, with her master, Cup], lain Isaakcnsen, and her entire crewi of fourteen men, and pilot, Charles Penile- tier, were drowned during the terrl'ible northeast gate and blinding snowstorm that prevailed in the lower St. Lawrence on the 10111 instant, and caused the Magda to go on the Red Island reef, and break in two. Captain Koenig is also of ' the opinion that. at least one schooner with all hands on board was lost, and other small craft, judging by the amount of wreckage seen after the storm and the quantity washed ashore. He is also convinced that the Magda. crew jumped into the water with life belts around them, but could not. live in such a furious sea. This is evidenced by two bodies that were washed ashore, one at St. Fabien and the other near Blfl), with life, belts on, who were proved/lo _/ be Norwegians by articles and leg/titers found on their bodies. , ._..__¢___._ PLAYED \V'ITII MATCHES. , Montreal Child Dead, Any/{fir Fatally Burned. { . A despalch from Montreal says: As the result of playing with matches little Louise Phillipe Dupuis. two years of age, was burned to death in his home on Friday. and in trying to extinguish the flames his little sister, Mania An- nette, was so frightfnlly burned about. the arms and body that no hope for her recovery is entertained. The victims were childien of Mr. Phillipe Dupuis, 3101. " Champlain Street, and were alone in the house when the accident occurred, the mother having gone to the corner gro- cery for provisions. The father, who is a painter, was at his work.
