MERCHANT INCE KILLED.
rounder of SVhiteley's. London, Shot by
Unknown Atari.
A despatch from London, Englnnd,
says : William Whiteley, founder of tho
first big department store In London,
was shot and killed on Thursday by a
young man, who rifleman's attempted
to commit suicide. Mr. Whiteley was
about to leave his store when his assnil-
ant rushed up to him and fired several
shots. Tho merchant fell dead where ho
stood. Tho a>asnssln then emptied the
revolver into his own body, inflicting
' what are believed to be mortal wounds.
The storo was crowdcxl with shoppers,
and a semi -panic followed. A force of
police was quickly on tho scene, the
public were ejected from the building
and the doors wero closed. No reason
for the act has been learned.
It appears that the murderer hnd been
conversing with Mr. \Vhiteteg and the
latter was overheard to say as ho walked
away
' If you do not go I shall call the
police."
Mr. Whitcley's murderer cannot re-
cover. Ilo gave the name of Cecil White-
ley, and said ho was a son of the mur-
dered nrnn. Relatives of the late Mr.
Whiteley who have seen tho assassin
say they do not recognize him.
Persons who overheard Mr. \Vhib'Iry
and his visitor conversing declare that
there was no quarrel.
It affords me great pleasure to again
meet you as representatives of the peo-
ple in Parliament assembled.
Once more we realize that our thanks
ars due to Almighty lied for a bounti-
ful harve.,t. The prosperity which has
teen enjoyed by our farmers for a num-
ber of years hes been continued for an-
other year, while the steadily Increasing
did rprise and commercial activity
shown by our people afford good ground
Loth fur satisfaction and thankfulness
and are indications of future prosperity.
The sittings . of the Interprovincial
Conferences at Ottawa in October last
were attended by the Primo MinLster
and Iwo of his colleagues. The deliber-
aliens of the conference will, 1 have rea-
iion to believe, result in an amendment
to the British North America Act by
which the amount of the annual pay-
rnent by tho Dominion Government to
the province will be increased by about
41e00.000. A report of the proceedings
of the conference will be laid before
you.
On the invitation of the Government
of Canada, certain of my Ministers at-
tended at Ottawa with reference to the
proposed extension of tho boundaries . f
Manitoba. The claims of the Province
of Ontario to Its hinterland wero pressed
upon t' e Dominion Government, my
Ministers urging that the hnundarics r t
Manitoba he extended northward to
Hudson Ray by producing the the east-
ern boundary of that province north-
ward until it strikes the Churchill River.
and then by following the middle of
the channel of the said river until the
latter debouches into Hudson Ray, and
that for geographical and other reasons
',the remainder of the Territory of Kee-
watin lying east of the suggested east-
ern boundary of Manitoba contiguous
to enteric) and hounded on the north
and en.,t by Hudson dson Bay and James
Bay bo alloleed to the Province of On-
tajlo. A decision is expected shortly.
\WiHAT HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED.
Better accommodation has been pro-
vided in this city for the increasing
nuniber of immigrants, and my Min-
isters intend to make additional efforts
to Induce farmers and farm laborers to
settle among us.
You will be pleased to know that the
lonn of Three millions of dollars, nu-
thcrized by the Act of lost session f:.r
the completion of tho Temiskaming and
Northern Ontario Railway was success-
fully Mailed in Canada at par and with-
out any expense other than that of ad-
vertising.
Afler the close of the last session of
the Legislature, my Government, In ac-
ccrdance with precedent, appointed a
coniudssion consisting of certain !nem -
berg of the judiciary, the members of
the Executive Council and others, for the
consoiidation of the stntues of the pro-
vince, and subsequently a supplementary
commission corns Issued extending the
pcwcrs of the commissioners. Substan-
tial progre.s has been niado by there,
but 'owing to the great volume of work
and the care and thoroughness with
which it is being done, the revision can-
not be completed earlier than next year.
Ccr:ain of the changes recommended
will, however, be suhrnillcd to you at as
Early n day as possible during the pre-
sent Nession.
Ow'ng to the steady increase of popu-
telion In Northern Ontario, it hos be-
come necessary. In the interests of the
proper adminis'ration of justice, to cre-
ate an additional judlcinl district.
In nccordnnce with the legislation of
last session, the Railway and Municipal
Board has been constituted. Although
it hos been In existence only a fegw
months, the board has already consld•
ered and ,disposed of many questions
coming within Its jurisdiction. it has
also proven an efficient. agency for en-
forcing the electric railway rates speci-
fied by the LcgSlature and for adjust-
ing disputes between labor and capital
in respect of street railway operation.
A rep ort of the work .of the board since
. Its formation will be laid before you.

tlial, under the provisions of this Act
of Ind session, very satisfactory pro-
