fire. The lirst two shots fell short of
our title, and It was some minutes

Then the battle was on, with firing
IIfrom both sides. Our destroyers kept
on the port side of the main squad-

that there was nothing 111 the British
North America Act, or ails- Act pass-
ed by the Dominion, which required
or contemplated rho printing of

any inconvenience. If it should be
found necessary to slake the change,

subject was ono which should be re -
ferret by the people who sulTered to
the Railway Commission. Ile would,
however, draw the attention of the
Department Of Railways to the mat-
ter.
