A d-espat-ch from Ottawa says: The annual report of the Dairy and Cold Storage Commissioner, Mr- J. E. Ruddick, issue-d on Friday, shows that the exports of Canadian butter for the last fiscal year show an increase of about one and oneâ€" half million pounds over the exâ€" ports of cheese were about 170,000,- tle under four million pounds. Ex- ports of obese were about 170,000,- 000 pounds. Twoâ€"thirds of the t0~ tal dairy production of Canada, says Mr. Ruddick, is consumed by the home market, and there is an mormous demand for cheese in Ottawa Official Left on Trip Three Years Ago. A despatch from Ottawa. says: It is now almost certain that George Caldwell, an official of the Marine Department, of Ottawa, has perished in the Canadian North with two natives, who set out Wlth him three years ago to cross Can- ada, from Hudson Bay to the Great Slave Lake, and down to Edmonâ€" ‘ton and civilization. When last heard of, a white man, supposed to be Caldwell, was reported to be with two natives on Baker Lake, and making their way to the Northâ€" West Mounted Police post at Ful- lerton. It was hoped that they had spent the Winter at the post, and despatches from Fullerton were anxiously awaited. Word has now been received by the department that neither Caldwell nor his com- panions have been seen or heard of at Fullerton. To be Hanged for the Murder of Two Grandchildren. I A d-espetch from Sudbury says: At 11.30 on Friday night Mr. Jus- tice Magoo passed sentence on Mrs. Annie Robinson, that she be hanged on the 24th of November, for the murder of the inf-ants of her two daughters, Jessie and El- len. Mr. Justice Magee expressed his extreme sorrow for the pitiful position of Mrs. Robinson, a wo- man of fortyâ€"five, he said, broken in mind and body and facing the most serious of all sentences. He 5 eke of the recommendations of t e jury for mercy, but did not build up the prisoner’s hopes for executive clemency. Mrs. Robin- eon stood in the comer of the dock, her elbows resting on the rail, and with bowed head buried her face in her handkerchief. Her tears and sobs were those of a broken heart. There is no doubt that every effort will be made to have the sentence commuted. Feeling here is very strong for her. THE DAIRY OUTLOHK 806D Montreal Newspaper Suffered Heavy Loss. A despatch from Montreal says: The Montreal Witness office was It Is Remarkably Bright, Says Commis- sioner J. Ruddick. The reactionary party is res-pon- sibl-e for the latest anti-Jewxsh outbreak. It became enraged at the Jews for their support of tue reform movement, and decided to inaugurate the Jewish New Year with another attack on the Jew:, The latest outrage began on last Thursday, the Jewish New Yea*’s Day, and lasted for three days, during which time 18 Jews were killed outright, 12 so severely in- jured that they subsequently died, and 150 seriously injured. There were a thousand lesser casualties, besides the destruction of several hundred thousand dollars’ worth of Jewish property. The Jews had but scant means of defending themselves, and succeeded in kill ‘ing but three of their Russian as- sailants and injuring a score. A despat-ch from Berlin says: Another meassacre of the Jews by the Russians has taken place at Kiev, according to information r3 ceived on Wednesday by promirl cut Jews of this city. Thirty Are Dead and One Hundred and Fifty Seriously Injured at Kiev, Russia. BUTCHEHED BY PEASANTS MRS. ROBIN SON SENTEN CED LOST IN FROZEN NORTH. WITNESS BURNED OUT. “With a, rapidly growing home market,” snys the Commissioner, “a steady demand in Great Britain and the constantly increasing im- portation of dairy produce by Ger- many, the outlook for Canada’s dairying is as good as, if not bet- ter than, it has ever been in the past. The export dairy trade ap- pears to be threatened only in one quarterâ€"namely, by the increas- ing exports of cheese from New Zealand to Great Britain.” S. Rindcll. a Young Swede. Has His Neck Broken at Cobalt. A despatvoh from Cobalt says: 5. Rind-ell, a young Swede, aged 23. who had only been a, short time in the country and had just start- ed work in the Cobalt, Central mine, met instant death on Wedâ€" nesday afternoon about 2 o’clock. Rindell had been watching the cage going up and down and finally walked under it as it was descend- ing. Hisflneck was broken and his A despatch from Montreal says: It is stated here that a. number of prominent shipping men are form- ing a big shipâ€"building company. They are planning to build a. plant capable of turning out menâ€"of-wa-r, and in fact every kind of steam- ship. Sir Montagu Allan, inter- viewed on Wednesday, admitted that many prominent Canadians had been dis-cussing the project quietly for some time, and had promised to unite in financing the scheme. “There has been nothing definite done yet,” he said, “but I hope very shortly to see the com- pany well under way.” Sir Mon- tagu said that as yet no decision as to the site of a, shipbuilding plant had been determined on, but admitted that a large one would undoubtedly be established. Canada which is not satisfied be- cause it is ‘not put on the market in convenient form of the right character, and pfioperly matured. he'ad badly crushed. guttered by fire, which broke out about 6.30 on Thursday night. The damage is estimated at from $50,- 000 to $75,000. Several neighbor- ing stores and offices also suffered. The fire was discovered at 6.30 by men working in the job room, but how it originated is a mystery. The flames began their work on the top floor, and in an incredibly short time the whole upper flat was wrecked. The roof then fell in and added to the damage. Flames ate their way down through the other floors to the press room in the basement. In addition to the damage by fire, the loss by water will be considerable. Arrangeâ€" ments have been made with The Gazette to publish the paper for the present. There was an insur- ance of $150,000 on the building and contents. One of the first acts of the mob, which had been made drunk before being turned loose for the murder- ous work, was to rush to the syna- gogue, where the rabbi was butch- ered and the congregation driven from the building. The edifice was then demolished. several of which have darkened Kiev’s history in the last few years. Hundreds of peasants were hired by the reactionary party and they led in the attack on the Jews. At the height of the web’s frenzy 100 Jewish women and girls were seizeu by the drunken rioters, stripped of their clothes, chain-ed together in a long line and paraded naked through the streets, while the crowds of Russians jeered, reviled and spat upon them. Two Jewish boys who sought to defend the wo- men against this outrage were seized by the leaders and thrown into a nearby bonfire that had been built of the plunder of sacked Jew- ish houses, and roasted alive, while the mob danced about the flames.

A despatch from Winnipeg says; “Immigration from the United States to Canada has increased fully thirty per cent. this year, and iext year there will be about 115.â€" 000 Americans come to Canada.” This was the statement of Mr. W. J. White, superintendent of the Do- minion Immigration Agencies in the United States, on Saturday. Mr. White said that it was surpris- ing how popular Canadian lands were becoming in ‘the- United States. Farmers were selling off their good farms, which bring posâ€" sibly $125 an acre, and were com- ing over to Canada to take up land.

Hamil-ton, a former resident of Ottawa and latterly employed in New York by a boot and shoe oom- pany, was found dead on Thurs- day afternoon by the caretaker of the cemetery. A revolver lying be- side him on the grave told the story of the su'cide. Hamilton’s wife died a few months ago, after they had been married less than a year. On Wednesday he came from New York to look at her grave in the cemetery here. At noon on Thurs-day he called on the clerk at the cemetery and asked for the bill for the care of the plot. A few moments later a. pistol shot was heard near the grave of Mrs. Hamâ€" ilton, and the lifeless body of the desponden‘t husband was found a few minutes later prone over the grave. The deceased was 35 years of age, and was formerly a, mem- ber of the Ottawa police force. Chief County Con-stable Hamilton is an uncle.

An army of white men who at best are novices are a distinct luln~ dranee, while a cumbersome luxury of equipment is fatal to progress.
