FISHES 130DY FROM. RIVER.
Foul Play is Feared in Death of
Frank O'Leary.
A despatch from Haileybury says:
While angling at the end of the
Haileybury wharf Joe 'Sherill fished
up a body at the end of his line.
It had apparently been in the water
;some time, but was identified as
that of Frank O'Leary, a camp
cook. Sherill's line hook caught in
the clothing and the fisherman won-
dered what had happened, until the
body carne to the surface.
From the appeara,nce, of the body
foul play is feared in the death of
O'Leary. There is a wound on the
,back of the head. Doctors think
this was sustained before he 'got
into the water.

PRINCE OE WALES' NESTEG'(g.
Hie Financial Advisers Have Made
Solite Pr011 able Ventures.
A dezpateb from London says:
When the Prince of Wales, next year
attains to his twenty-first birthday
he will enter into the personal con-
trol of -the revenues of the Duchy
of Cornwall, now beiiia administer-
ed for him by the King, and the ac-
eurradatiens of which will represent
a nest -egg of over£!,000,000 atter-
liog. From. an authoritative knain-
cial source it is /earned that advan-
tage is being taken of the present
state of the markets to make eon-
siderablo investments in eecurities,
which two trustees of thi; Clerrovall
Duchy estate consider bargains at
the present prices. These trustees,
who are inspired and guided by
Lord Revelstoke einco., King
George's Svccessiou have already
done very well for the Prince. Not
very long age they purchased 280,-
000 worth of securitieg, which have
appreciated in the past six months
in eapital value .by 1 per, cent..
Though King George .is by no means
on the same ;close and friendly rela-
tions with prominent and influen-
tial personalities in the financial
world as was his father, King Ed-
ward, his Majesty nevertheless has
many sources open to hirn through
which he can carry on financial op-
erations under vastly more favor-
able conditions than the ordinary
investor, and the probability is that
the value of the Prince of Wales'
investment capital when it is made
over to I -din next year will be con-
siderably over 21,000,000 sterling.
TO DEPORT THE CITIES' IDLE.
Unemployed Immigrants to Be Sent
Back to Homeland.
A despatch from Ottawa says :
Unemployed immigrants in Cana-
dian cities who have been in Can-
ada less than three years and have
become public charges will be de-
ported' by the Immigration Depart-
ment under the Act after notifica-
tion by the secretary of the muni-
cipality concerned. This was the
announcement made by Mr. W. D.
Scott, Superintendent of Immigra-
• tion, and it furnishes a possible
solution of some a the labor :trou-
bles which Canadiancities are ex-
,oes•.j.eneing just now. By far the
largest proportion of those dirt of
work in Halifax, Montreal, Ottawa,
Toronto Nihratipeg and oth6r^cen4-
tres are foreigners, and of these
many have ceme ±0 Canada within,
the last three years. If the secre-
tary of the city certifies that cer±.-
tain of these people» have become
public charges—that is, have ac-
cepted charity or relief from chari-
table institutions—the department
will carry out that, clause of the
Immigration Act which provides for
their deportation ;at the expense .of
the transportation company which
brought them here.
This announcement was made by
Mr. Scott to a delegation of Bul-
garians and Ruthenians which wait-
ed on him in regard to the -problem
of finding employment. The work-
ings of the Innnigration Act were
explained to them., and they were
told that it would be strictly en-
forced,. They were, however, all
offered employment on farms if
they were willing to take it up, and
this proposal will be considered by
them.

Intended for, ft Long Time to Kill
----Ensrassen
A despatch from Sarajevo says
1.1a,rtial law has been proclaimed at
Tuzla and Naglaj because of the
serious rioting in these towns,
where much Servian property has
been destroyed.
The preliminary exarainatien by
a Magistrate into the assassi-nation
of the Archduke mid his wile show-
ed that it had been the intention of
Prinzip to cornmit the deed at the
time of the manoeuvres at Tarsini,
but the -attesnpt, was abandoned
owing to the strict Military guard
which prevented any outsider from
•approaching the Archduke. During
the preliminary examination Prin.,
zip gloried in his guilt. He des-
evribed the killing of the couple,'
and declared that it had been his
intention tor a long time to kill a
prominent Austrian. He had read
much Anarchistic literature and
had becor.ne convinced that there
could be nothing on earth finer than
to be an assassin.
• "I clo not regret the deed," he
said. "I had nothing to do with the
bomb attack. When I heard the
explosion I exclaimed: 'There are
;still people who feeland think as I
do.' This strengthened my resolve
still further." •
No evidence has yet been found
against any of the other persons
arrested., with the exception of Ga-
brinovics. They were taken into
custody because of their personal
acquaintance with the assassins.
