A despatch from Ottawa says: The annual report of tho Da‘ry and- Cold Storage Commissioner, Mr. J. E. Ruddick, issued on Friday, shows that the exports of Canadian butter for the last, fiscal year show an increase of about one and one- half million pounds over the ex- ports of cheese were about 170,000,- tlo under four million pounds. EX- ports of chose were about 170,000,~ 000 pounds. Twoâ€"thirds of the to- tal dairy production of Canada, says Mr. Rudoliok, is consumed by the home market, and there is an mormous demand for cheese in To be Hanged for the Murder of Two Grandchildren. ' I A d-espatch from Sud‘bury says: At 11.30 on Friday night Mr. Jus- tice Magee passed sentence on Mrs. Annie Robinson, that she be hanged on the 24th of November, for the murder of the infants of her two daughters, Jessie and El- len. Mr. Justice Magee expressed his extreme sorrow for the pitiful posit-ion of Mrs. Robinson, a. wo~ man of forty-five, he said, broken in mind and body and facingthe most serious of all sentences. He spoke of the recommendations of the jury for mercy, but did not build up the prisoner’s hopes for executive clemency. Mrs. Robin- aon 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. Ottawa Official Left on Trip Three Years Ago. A despateh 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 Edmon- ‘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 North- 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. 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 less-er 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. The reactionary party is res-ponâ€" sibl-e for the latest anti-Jewmh outbreak. It became enraged at the Jews for their support of tne reform movement, and decided La inaugurate the Jewish New Year with another attack on the Jew}, A despatch from Berlin says: Another meassacre of the Jews by the Russians has taken place at Kiev, according to information re ceived on Wednesday by promivl ent Jews of this city.

WITNESS BURNED OUT. 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. Arrange- ments have been made with The Gazette to publish the paper for the present. There was an insurâ€" ance of $150,000 on the building and contents. A Montreal Company Will Estab- lish a Plant. A despatch from Montreal says: It is stated here that a. number of prominent shipping men are formâ€" ing a, big ship-building company. They are planning to build a plant capable of turning out men~ofâ€"war, and in fact every kind of steam- ship. Sir Mont-agu Allan, inter- viewed on Wednesday, admitted that many prominent Canadians had been discussing 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. One of the first acts of the mob. which had been made drunk before being turn-ed loose for the murder 0113 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 lea in the attack on the Jews. At the height of the mob’s frenzy 100 Jewish women and girls were seized 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. S. Rindell. a Young Swede. Has His Neck Broken at Cobalt. A desputeh from Cobalt says: 5. Rindell, a young Swede, aged 23. who had only been a short time in the country and had just startâ€" 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 descendâ€" ing. His neck was broken and his hevad badly crushed. “\Vith a rapidly growing home market,” snys the Commissioner, “a steady demand in Great Britain and the constantly increasing im- portation of dairy produce by Gerâ€" many, the outlook for Canada’s dairyin‘g 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.” Canada which is not satisfied be- cause it is not put on the market in convenient form of the right character, and p_r_operly matured.
