It Is reported that a prominent Lib-
eral politician, who sits for an Ontario
constituency was met by a friend the
other night after the delivery of the
Budget speech. The friend said -
"Well! what do you think ' of the
tariff?" "The Tories have done us
again," was the reply. "They have
completely disproved our most damn,
ing charge against them rm., that they
were run by the manufacturers. Their
tariff is undoubtedly it farmer's tariff.'

A deputation from Northern Lumber
Towns waited an Sir 'J'ohrt Thompson
to have the export duty ottlogs restored.
So long as there watt reason to expect
the early abolition of the American tax
•on Canadian lumber, it would be ntade
vistable to place an impost on logs ex-
ported. But there is no jziunediate
prospeet of tariff reform in the States.
It seems More likely, indeed, that the
• whole Wilson Dili will be rejected.
Under these circumatances, our Parlia-
ment should at once eimpose the export
duty oa logs. In every aeiteon ahem

diver found all seven ot the tonrists alive.
It was at first believed eight persous were
imprisoned.
The cave explorers presented a gltitst13t

daylight, so weak from exhaustion that
they were barely alive. The church bells
of the village of the Luglocile ran out joy-
ous peals and the diver to -whose efforts
the reseue was duo was carried. on the
shoulders of the villagers. Mrs. Fashings,
due of the party, gave premature birth to
a ohild while in the °ave. Mrs. Sewer was
driven mad front despair and fright.
Stx of the seven persons who were at
the icave have so far recovered that they
are able to walk. They had a smallasupply
of bread. and cheese when they were found
andthey also had a few candles left. The
prisoners heard the attenapts to rescao
then, but the slow progress the rescuers
were making had made it seem certain
they would die before they could be reach-
ed, and their anxiety and terror were ia-
tende They were cheered by the noise of
the explosion or the dynamite blasts, but
tlae ;shocks were so violent that they were
in constant fear of being killed by falling
rocks.

MoEvay extended the invitation to all who
wished to partake of commuision to come
to the front. Among others who went up
was James Corkery, who claims tobe an
ex -priest and. has been lecturing in Hamil-
ton for some time past on the false
doctrines of the Roman Catholic faith.
When Corkery was handed the consecrated
wafer by Father linEvay he struck the
• priest's avm so vigorously that the contents
of his hand was strewn about the floor.
Corkery at the same time repeated these
words: "I protest; shame upon youl
This is no more the body of Christ than
It is the man in the moon."
The communicants and other worship-
pers itt the church were so astounded at
Corkery's act that they did not recover
from the shock of surprise until two or
three of the ushers, acting on Mgr. Mc-
3/.Evay's instruction, had conducted Corkery
from the church.

General Herbert; in addition to his

French to the G5th Battalion, in the course •
of which he took occasion to praise the

who beldnged to the regiment of the pon-
tifical zounecs, the Canadians of tite 19th
century, which rendered itself illustrious
in defending the eiffirch.
The general's remarks are evoking con-
