however, Mrs. Oalvert, in spite of her

DAMILTON IS BISHOP
He Takes Charge of the Mission
Diocese G of Japan.
Rev. Heber J. Hamilton Is the Choice
of the M. S. 0. C. For Important
Post in the Foreign Field -Bishop
Lea and Rev. Mr. Shortt Are Also
Nominated But Fail to Receive the
Support of the Delegates.
Toronto, April 19. -By a majority
of 45, Rev. Heber J. Hamilton was
yesterday afternoon elected by the
M. S. C. 0. to the position of Bishop
of Japan. There were 71 delegates
present, and so his election was as-
sured after he had received a major-
ity of 35.
Bishop Lea, a former Canadian
miesiona.ry, now bishop under the
English Synod, was the second choice,
and Rev. Mr. Shortt, who was under-
stood to be the nominee of Trinity,
came third. Rev. Mr. Robinson and
several other missionaries Were also
in the running,' but Mr. Hamilton's
majority • towered far above them all.
The House of Bishops must now rati-
fy the choice.
Rev. H. J. Hamilton was nominated
by Hon. Sam Blake, who stated that
he considered him the best nian for
the position. Another delegate pro-
posed the name of Bishop Lea.
"I am strongly opposed to electing
a bishop already, elected," declared
Mr. Jenkins, a delegate from. Petrolea.
"Let us ballot for whom ever we
like," shouted another delegate in the
audience. "If the man we nominate
does not want it he can refuse."
A letter from Bishop Lea was read
in which he stated that he did not
think he could very well make a
change after being in his present posi-
tion. only two years.
The report of the general secretary,
Rev. Canon Gould, referred briefly to
the immigration into Canada, espe-
cially that from the British Isles, and
also to the situation facing the Chris-
tian Church in Japan and China. The
most significant features in the latter
are the recent change in the seat of
Government in India, from Calcutta
to Delhi; the conference of leaders
of Shintoism, Buddhism and Chris-
tianity in Japan; and the revolution
in China, all of which have had a
most important bearing on the work
of Christian missions..

of
Montreal. Because Mr. Allison would
not take to the lifeboats, but stayed
behind with the men,"said this clerk,
"his wife and daugter also refused
to leave the ship and went down with
the Titanie, having first put the little
boy safely in one of the boats in.
charge of his nurse."
"How do you know this?" the clerk
was asked. He realized for the first
time he was talking to two reporters.
He tried to laugh off the story, but
finding that impossible, admitted he
got the information "inside," point-
ing upstairs to the executive office.
It is a fact that the family of F. a'.
Allison was aboard and that neither
Mrs. Allison nor Miss Allison, who
rete in, the party, have yet been re-
ported saved. When asked if he
knew of any other story, the clerk
smiled and replied that "One slip was
enough for him.
The story received confirmation af-
ter the Carpathia landed. With a
nine -months' -old baby wrapped in her
aryl's, Jape Smith, an. English nurse,
came down the gang plank. The child
was all that was left of the family of
Mr. and Mrs. Allison. Mr. Allison,
his wife and three-year-old daughter
went down with the Titanic.
Mrs. Allison had refused to leave
the side of her husband.
"Yours in deep' sympathy,
"Eleanor Smith."

"Nearer My God to Thee."
New York, • April 19. -"The last I
will remember of the Titanic was
hearing she strains of `Nearer My
God to T' ee'," said Mrs. A. A. Dick,
who was saved with her husband.
"There was a great sound of rushing
water and the vessel sank.
"There was the wildest excitement
when, the ship struck. The crew at
once ranto the e a' r lis to prevent pas-
sengers from jumping overboard. I
was standing near the first two life-
boats launched. At first a few men
struggled to gain seats. They calmed
down when they saw the women and
pitt us aboard the boats. Their brav-
ery was wonderful. I shall nem for

Cornwall, April 19. -The trial of
Mr. and Mrs. Clayton Bickford,.charg-
ed with manslaughter at the assizes

The prisoners were both found
guilty in the evening, and were each
sentenced by Mr. Justice Kelley to
seven years' imprisonment with hard

The defence called two uncles and
an aunt of the deceased girl, to show
that she had not been scantily clad.
Then Mr. and Mrs. Bickford gave evi-
dence on their own behalf. They de-
nied the evidence of Mrs. Killoran,
sister of Mrs. Bickford, as to the lat-
ter beating and choking the child last
November, and claimed that the child
was well clothed and treated as one
of the family. She had been subject
to weak spells, which they believed to
be epileptic fits, which were becoming
more frequent and more prolonged.
The deceased had one of these on
the night of her death. She staggered
but .Bickford caught her, and after,
working on her for 15 or 20 minutes,
without result, carried her upstairs,
and went for the doctor.

has been started in the fishing port ,1

Government has already prohibite4,.
the use of the Otter trawl in our tear'

fishermen are now asking that a regal
lation be adopted preventing the O i
ter trawlers purchasing coal or sup;
plies in Canadian ports. That .would
be a rather large order for the Gose
ernment to undertake; some of th-%
beam trawlers hail from England an.
others from France, and it would be
terious matter, indeed, to depy th'i
Vessels of the Mother Country an•

case such a drastic measure woult.
not achieve its purpose so far as the
French trawlers are concerned, fo'
they can use St. Pierre and Miguelo.'

serious inconvenience.
In Gloucester, it is said owners o$
fishing vessels have pledged the*
selves to raise 5100,000 to fight the
invasion of beam trawlers, and in
Lunenburg and other Canadian fishe

other nations to agree to prohibit
beam trawling.
And whether our fishermen follow.4
ing the old methods of fishing are'
right or not in their fear that the
beam trawler will deplete our fisher-
ies, they have good reason to feral
the results of the extensive emplo t'
ment of the new methods. The bean
trawlers are labor saving machines.

it looked to the Toronto hunters net
if they were going to be stranded for: ,
days in the wilds.
• The mail driver didn't take that
view at all. Happening to be near' ..
the home of a settler, he simply went

and put in its place the worn-out'
animal. The settler came out on the
blump. "Here," he shouted, "what in,
lazes are you doing? Y g Put that horse,

"No," said the driver coolly, "1

any trouble. I've got to get the mail
