SIR LIONE.L PIIILIPS "SROT.
The Leading Gold -Mining Magnate
ot South Africa.
A despatch from Johannesburg,
South Africa, says: An attempt
was made on Thursday to assassi-
nate Sir Lionel Philips, the leading
gold -mining magnate of South Af-
rica. Three shots were fired at him.
The attempt was made while he was
waikir:g on Commissioner Street.
The as,•ailant of Sir Lionel Philips
was identified as a Dutch store-
keeper of the name of Nissun, and
the crime was supposed to have
been actuated by revenge for the
loss of a recent suit against the
mining group with which Sir Lionel
is connected. One bullet pierced
the lung and liver, but the attend-
ing physicians are hopeful of Sir
Lionel's recovery. He has suffered
much from shock and pain, and no
attempt has been. made to remove.
the bullets. The wound inthe neek
is slight.
WOMAN SUFFRAGE BILL.
Premier McBriale of British Colum-
bia Oppesed to It.
A despatch from Victoria, .B.O.,
Bays: Premier McBride refused on
Wednesday the request of the
United Suffrage Societies of Bri-
tish Columbia for the introduction
of a woman suffrage bill by the
Government. HG suggested that
the question would have to be
brought up by a private member.
`The Provincial Executive is not in
entire agreement on this question
of the vote f ,r wo;een," announced
Premier McBride to a delegation
which waited on him. "If you get
the vote, then you would sit in Par-
liament,and it would be reasonable
to suppose that some time you
would form a woman's party and
probably run the entire affairs of
the country. That would be a Jogi
eat conclusion, said the Premier.

Leader of Opposition Thinks Seri-

A despatch from Carnarvon;
Wales, says :.Andrew Bonar Law,
Ieader of the Oppbsition ,;in the
House of Commons, speaking here
on Thursday night,- repeated his
prediction that 'clic imposition of
home rule on Ulster would result in
civil war. "If the Government,"
he 'continued, "has any proposal to
make which: holds out even a pros -
poet or avoiding the evils' we dread,.
we 'shall consider it without any
regard to party advantage or dis-
advantage,''but with sole regard for
the welfare Of the nation." He add-.
ed that the Govere hent , , seemed
content : to lob natters drift, and
that meanwhile the likelihood of
reaching a settlement by consent
was growing smaller.
