tional character. The extentof the

towing list of stat:
Olno-In Cleveland 50,000 consumexe

families are on anti -meat strike. Crn.
einnati club women give up butter.
Strike movement under way at Dayton
and Columbus.
Missouri -Forty-two St. Louis doc-
tors advise workmen that they can en-
ter meat boycott without danger to
health. Kansas City and St. Joseph
labor unions institote meat strike. St.
Louis stationare engineers resolve to
abstain.
Illinois-Tbousands of Chicago
workmen will join a moyement to eat
no meat until March 1.
Pennsylvania-Pittelsing mill work-
ers call on butohers to cut prices im-
mediately on penalty of their custom-
ers becoming vegetarians.
Wisconsin -Mass meeting of citizens
is called to institute meat boycott and
circulate petition.
Kansas -Meat boycotts are announce
ed as flourishing in Atchison, Leaven-
worth, St. Soseph and Topeka.
Nebraska-LThe Omaha Central La-
bor I.Tnion, 8,000 strong, starta a meat
boycott until prices drop.
Iowa -Anti -meat -eating dabs are be-
ing formed in Des Moines.
Michigan -Detroit consumers arms.
ed because prices across the river in
Canada are 5 per cent, cheaper. They
Will boycott meat.
Maryland -In Baltimore a meat boy-
cott is in full swing. ,
Delaware -In Wilmington. 1,000
householders have signed a thirty.
day meat boycott,' encouraged by the
fact that a similar move recently low-
ered the cost of turkey from 45 to 10
cents a pound.
Indiana -Two hundred jewish fami-
lies have gone on a strike against
the high prices charged by kosher
butchers. .
Connecticut -The rubber workers of
the Naugatuck Valley will eat no more

Coincitlently came announcements
from Milwaukee and Clevelsind that
the price of meat had dropped. In
Milwaukee two retail butchers quoted
porterhouse and sirloin steak at ten
cents a pound, and bther meats in
proportion. The wholesale price of
beef fell off 15 cents a.hundred,pounda
in Cleveland.
From Denver Samuel Dutton, presi-
dent of the Western Hotelmen's Pro-
tective Assotiation, announced that a
proposal to cut down the consumption
of meat would be brought before his
organization at a meeting in Chicago
on- San. 31.

Member Says Witnesses Are
Lying About Sawdust Whart
• ...se-,
Grenville Man In. House of Commons
Declares That There Is a Great
Peal of False Evidence Being Given
- Before the Pubrie -Account* Corn-
rnittee-Pugsley Dares Mr. Reid to
Say That to the Witneeees.
Ottawa, Jan.. 22. -The purchase Of
the "Sawdust Wharf" at Richibueto,
N.B., bids fair to become as famous
as the first cruise of the steamship
Arctic.
This wharf Was bought for $700 by
T. 0. Murray, manager of the Kent
Northern Railway frau J. O'Leary,
and sold immediately to the Govern-
ment for $5,000. The transaction has
caused a good dee' of examination in
the public accounts committee.
Dr. Reid, the Conservative member
for Grenville, declared in the House
last night that he was satisfied that
there had been perjury committed be-
fore the public accounts committee on
more than one occasion, but particu-
larly on this.
"1 believe that there h.aveabeen wit-
nesses in this case who have deliber-
ately perjured themselves and I in-
tend that this shall not stop hero.
Perjury should he punished by prose-
cution by the Attorney -General of the
province., or by some one else, I in-
tend to report to the House that there
has been perjury and demaad that the
House shall take. action," he said.
Dr, Pugsley; "It is open to Dr.
Reid, if he believes that . there has
been perjury, to lay information, or
to test the matter by stating to any
witness alter the adjournment of the
committee that he believes he has per-
jured himself, Andtaking the chane
of a libel. So far as I have observed,
and have given the matter steady
attention, I have seen no evidence of
any witness having committed perjury
in this ease,"
Mr. Carvell: "Any mail who has
had experience as a lawyer, and Dr.
Reid has not, knows that witnesses
often differ in a most extraordinary
way, due to recollection or observa-
tion. It is a terrible thing for Dr.
Reid to stand up here under the pro-
tection of his position as A member
of Parliament and make a 'wholesale
charge that witnesses have committed
perjury in this case, without naming
the witness whom he believes to be
guilty."
Dr, Reid: "Well, I believe that there
has been perjury committed, and I am
not the only man who believes the
same thing. I do not intend to let
the matter drop."
During the course of a speech inade
at the evening sitting, Glen Campbell
(Datiphin), said he had heard a rumor
to the effect that Mr. 'McCraney, M.P.;
Would become Attorney -General of
Saskatchewan, and that Hon. Walter
Scott, Premier of that province would
enter the Federal Cabinet.
He said that he would give Mr.
Scott fair warning that the day he
mitered the Dominion Parliament
would be a red letter day for him.
Col. Smith of Cornwall closed the
budget debate. Canadian -woollen
Manufacturers, he said, were •getting
far more for their produce than they,
did in the •Conservative days, and
sheep raisers were . likewise 'getting
much better prices for wool.
The Cause of Sleep.'
Detroit, Tan. 2.e-Experiinents
the University of Michigan overturn
a long accepted theory as to the cause
of sleep. It haft been said that natural
loss of consciousness is due to a les-.
send flow cif blood to the brain. Prof:,
R. M. Wenley's experiments show the
opposite
' His summary 'Of whathasbeen de-
inonstrated is: ' •
The size -or volume of the brain in-
ereaees wen the individual goes to
sleep and decreases' when he awakes.:
The size of the hands and feet en -
crease. when the man is asleep and
become smaller when he is awake.
In soma cases the brain becomes
smaller at first and then; inereases
as sieep becomes . deeper.
One of the delicate devices Used in
experimenting records a "breatlaing
wave" from both brain and hands
and feet.
New Cannery Move.
Toronto, Jan. 22. -Another develop-
naent in the canners' merger is an-
nounced, no. less than the takingof
every one of the. independent coin
panies into the Canadian Canners, Ltd.
At present only three independent
companies rentain out of the deal,
but it was said last night by a gentle-
man in touch with the situation that
negotiations for these would be closed
in a few weeks. • ,s
The new amalgamation will com-
prise about 56 factories, or with the
three independents which will likely
come to tern's, 59.
The terms of the amalgamation are
not stated authoritatively, but it is
understood that the independents will
be .given was& in the merger.

Prournt Status In the Oritleh
Elections 'Is it Tie,
Liberal -Labor Section Have 210 Seats
and Unionists Have 218 -National.
1st* With83 .Members Are In Cons
trol of the House Unlesi the Lib-
erals Manage to Secure a Big
Lead,
January 2ith. 1901
London, jam. 24, -Never in the re-
collection of the eldest politicians
have the British parties been in such
a perplexing position as they find
themselves to -day, and are likely to
face -when the next House of Com -
mous is. organized.
So evenly divided will be the mem-
bership of the next House, and so
close is the popular vote, that the re-
sult of the elections for all practical
purposes may be considered a tie.
No human mind can divine which
of the principal and different ques-
tions before the electors had the angst
influence at the polls, •or whether the
results mean that the people demand
tariff reform, or are loyal to the Lords
or anxious to reject Ctutncellor Lloyd -
George's budget, or whether all three
of these had an equal effect.
• Under these circumstances neither
party wants the respoxisibility of at-
temestine to legislate, and, since a
division must be so close, the Union-
ists are better satisfied to be in the
opposition than to have won by a very
small majority.
Mr. Balfour's speeches show plainly
that with the existing conditions lie
• is glad not to have control of the
Government. Premier Asquith would
be equally pleased to escape the perils
of piloting the party through the
troubled water, There are precedents
for him to ask the King to summon
another leader to form the Govern-
ment, but a° one expects him to haul
• down his flag.
All the prophets made the predic-
tion that the new Cabinet will find
itself in the minority within a year,
and that the country will plunge into
another general election.
The remarkable figures recorded at
this stage cif the balloting foreehadow
clearly how nearly equal both the
popular vote and the membership of
the House of .Commons will be divid.
ed between the two great factions.
The popular vote stands:
Unionists ... ... 2,565,627
- Liberals ,.. 2,324,315
. This gives the united Liberal -Labor
party a majority of 153,803 in a total
vote of 5,285,157,
To -day the membership of the House •
of Commons is a tie, the Unionists
and the combined Liberal -Labor party
each having elected 218 representa-
tives.
One hundred and sixty-seven seats
remain to be filled, of which .102 are
English. In the last Parliament
these were: Unionist, 36; Liberal,
U5 ; Nationalist, 16. Should the prea-
ent trend of voting continue, neither
the Unionists nor the Liberals can
muster a majority of more than a
dozen, and the Nationalists, with 83
Votes, will be wholly masters of the
situation.
Lady Constance Lytton In Jail.
Liverpool, Jan: 24. -That Lady Con-
stance Lytton, Sister of Lord Lytton,
is sensing a sentence in Walton jail
here, under the mune of lane Warton,
for smashing the jail windows, has ,
just leaked out and has cadsed a sen
salon among the supporters of the
women's suffragists. Lady Lytton
adopted a disguise of a work woman
and set about to force the authorities
to imprison her for the purpose of
proving her assertion that Horne Sec-
retary Gladstone's recent netion in re-
leasing her fat= Newcastle jail on the
official ground that she had. 'a weak
heart was realty on account Of her so-
cial position, andthe agitation which
was excited by the forcible' feeding of
the prisoners who refused to take. food.
It is said that she is starving her-
self again and is submitting to fore-
ible feeding' to .prove that Mr. Glad-
stone'e • stetement with reference to
her "week .heart" was what she called
it, "simply Liberal snobbishness."'
Lady Lytton carn.e to Liverpool Jan:
14. ' She proceeded deliberately to
smash the jail windows with stones.
When arrested she gave the name of
Jane Warton, and said she broke the
windows as a protest against certnie
jail regulations. LadyConstance was
sentenced to a fortnight's imprison

Kick From Easterners,
Montreal, Jan. 24. -Premier Hazzard
of Prince Edward Island, who lett
yesterday for home, having been a
few days at Ottawa, stated that he
was getting • along very comfortably
with his majority ef three and that
he did not expeet a crisis in the near
future, although he intimated that -
there might be fun ahead, if his pro-
vince would, in connection with New
:Brunswick ,and Nova Scotia, make a
very etrenuous effort to have the orig-
inal number of federal representatives
restored.
Prince Edward Island had been. re-
duced from six to five, and, after the
-next cenaus, the number would come
down to four, and Nova Scotia and
New Brunswick in a like proportion
if matters were allowed to drift.
Ile said that there was little doubt
as to the Willingness of the other .two
Maritime Provinces to participate in
the movement, as the growing popir.
lation of the west would cut down
their federal representation irt the
same ratio.

lutions condemning the Government's
naval measure, and demanding that .
'Parliament should tele no action :Un-
til the will 'of "the- electoeate had i3een
ascertained. .
; Mr. BOUTSSSE, who delivered a forc-

measure, attacked Sir Wilfrid Laurier
for attempting to pass such a thee -

aiding him. The large gathering warm-
ly applauded throughout.
,Mr, Bourassa vigorously attacked
the measure, saying that it would
entail enormous expenses upon the
country, and be claimed that Sir Wil-
frid Laurier's estimate Of the cost was
altogether astray, • This was not sur-
prising, as Sir Wilfrid was notvery
strong at figures, having estimated the
cost of the Grand Trunk Pacific at
$13,000,000, when, according to coin-
petent authorities,. it would cost 200
millions. -
