autocracy and deprive the Duma of any
Initiative in !nutters concerning the fu-
ture government of the country. The
outburst of indignation consequent upon
the revelation ut This scheme showed
the utter absurdity and danger of such
no attempt to reconcile the old and new
regimes, but the Emperor had no need
of arguments to corn•inco hire and he
declared the project unseemly, umt•ise
and dangerous. "My wish," said he, "is
that the Government bo conducted in
orderly fashion and that the country
may have peace. These new laws would
only stir up a conflict and compromise
me before my people. We must wait
till the Duma has begun its work ane*
then see what changes are necessary."
There is little doubt regarding the En1-
peror's sincere desire to abandon
bureaucratic methods and Invite the
cordial, healthy co-operation of his sub-
jects in the noble task of governing this
great country. The logical course in
such circumstances would seem to lie in
the formation of a Cabinet recruited
from the popular elements. There is
considerable talk of such a Ministry.

THE "SOO" GUARANTEE.
Hon. Col. Matheson submitted a state-
ment respecting the "Soo" guarantee.
The statement was as follows :-
"In regard to the loan commonly
known as the Sault Guarantee Loan for
e ,000,000, falling due on the first of
?,lay, the Canadian Improvement Com-
pany, whose certificates were guaran-
teed by the province, found Met they
were unable to grave the province re-
lieved of the whole guarantee. After
negotiations, 11 was agreed that the
province should release one-half of the
collateral securities, being a portion of
the bonds, Income bonder and stock of
the Lake Superior Corporation, and the
Canadian Improvement Company pro-
cured a loan for 81,050,000 without the
guarantee of the province.
"As it was found that the further sten
of $1.000,000 required could not be ob-
lninrel without the gunrantce of the
pro' ince, the Government, under the
authority of tho Act passed during the
present session, guaranteed certificates
for 81,000,000, pas able with interest at
the rate of 5 per cent. per annum in
six months from the 1st of May, in re-
newal of nne-halt of the former certifi-

TO INVITE TIIE KING.
Mr. McDougall moved -That this
Legislature notices with pleasure that
the house of Commons and the Senate
of Canada have by resolution prayed
that his Majesty King Edward VII. and
Queen Alexandra graciously extend to
this portion of his Majesty's Empire the
honor of a personal visit.
That we most enthusiastically endorse
the action of the Canadian Parliament
in Ibis behalf, and most earnestly hope
that his gracious Majesty may afford to
the people of Canada the opportunity
they have so long desired of offering to

of their unswerving loyulty and deep de-

That we therefore express the wish
that his Majesty may be pleased to as-
cept the invitation extended to Tirol by
the Parliament, and concurred in by all
the people of Canada.

PRRAYERS OF HARDENED MEN.
Locked in separate cells In the city
Prison, 100 prisoners, whose crimes
range from plain drunkenness to bru-
tal murder, knelt in prayer when the
earthquake of April 18 shook the Hall
of Judice from basement to tower top,
Sin -hardened men and women appeal-
ed to God to spare them. Their prnv-
ers for deliverance carne only after it
became apparent that the attendants
could do nothing for there. '1'lie earth-
quake bund so twisted and warped the
many of the men attempted to destroy
their lives by battering their heads
against the steel bars when they rea-
heed there was no chance for immedi-
nlc release. They, too, prayed when
the attendants in charge managed to
get them calm enough, and when it was
cell over it was a meek and humble hun-
dred that we removed to the branch
county jail."
