There was almost as much ox- citement in the East-end on Wed- nesday as there was during the siege of the Russians’ death trap. Great crowds pushed against the police lines, striving vainly to get close to the ruins of the house and see for themselves when the fire men and police found any gruesome traces of the dead defenders. In addition to keeping the crowds away The coroner of the Stepney ((15- trict states ufl‘iciatly that only two bodies have been found in the ruins. All that was found of one of the bodies is containéd in a, handker- chief. FA. despatch from London, Eng., says: No other bodies have been discovered by the police and fire- men woh searched the ruins of the house in Stepney wl-ich was burned down on Tuesday during the battle between the police and firemen and supposed Terrorists. The police found two Mauser revol- vers and a number of cartridge boxes in the debris. Russian’s Death Trap Searched for Other Possible Victims. ONLY TWO WERE KILLED HARD TO GEI‘ SUPPLIES. Both letters have been handed over to the authorities to investi- gate. Whether the letters are the work of a madman or not has not as yet been established. Since the large influx of dangerous charac- ters that has taken place into this city the police have been on guard, but it is not thought that such vioâ€" lent measures would be resorted to. and since then the Archbisth has received a letter, dpparently from the same party, declaring that it was proposed to blow up the palace during the month of January. The expenditure on capital ac- count during December last was $3,680,305.47, as against $3,379,270.- 77; while for the nine months it was $22,804,247.33, against $24,026,137.< 22 in the corresponding period of last year, nearly the whole of the amount being expenditure on the National Transcontinental Rail- way. The expenditure for the nine months shows an increase of $5,596.â€" 003.53, the figures being $32,994,~ 133.07 for 1910, as against $47,398; 129.54 in 1909. The students of the Ontario Agri- cultural College and the Macdonâ€" ald Institute at Guelph have petiâ€" tioned the Minister of Agriculture to remove the ban on dancing. Montreal Citizens and Council Failed to Give Support. A despatch from Montreal, says: The “week of Winter sports” it was proposed to hold here in Feb- ruary was called off at & meeting of the committee on Thursday morn- ing.

The Judge, in pronouncing sentence, characterized Garrison’s actions towards his wife as most shameful. to discover any receptacle which might contain papers throwing light on the plans of the gang. If any such existed they were either to- tally destroyed with the house or were burned by the Anarchists durv ing the siege. It is believed that the house which the Russians made their for- tress, was set on fire by them when they found that the ammunition supply was running low and that their capture was inevitable. After the flames had broken out fiercely there was a. lull in the firing for a. few moments and then two shots were heard. It may have been that the. Anarchists reserved their last two bullets for themselves. The story which was circulated Tuesday that the house had been fired by the order of Home Secretary Chur- chill is positively denied by the au- thorities. In the search for the Russians partipular care had been e_xerc_i§efi the police had to clear the streets for traffic, and the two tasks kept them on the jump. 7 CARNIVAL IS OFF.
