MONTREAL BRITISH SUBMARINE SUNK Run Down By Liner -Of Crew of Fifteen Only One Was Plcked Up. A despatch from Dover, Eng- land, says: The British submarine "B2" was run down by the Ham- burg -American steamer Amerika here on Friday. It sank at once, drowning fourteen of the crew. The officer in charge was rescued. The disaster in which the "B2" was sunk occurred while the third pa- trol fietilla of submarines, consiste. ing of six vessels, was manoeuvring off the south foreland on thee» e t of Kent, The liner Amerika a pears to have cut the submarine completelyel in haIves Lieut.Rich- ard I. Pulleyne, who was second in command, was the only man among the crew of fifteen who was saved. He was found floating in the sea too exhausted to say more when he was rescued than "The subanarine is cut in two. I went down a mile." The young lieut- enant collapsed after he was taken from the water and conveyed to the parent ship. The liner Amerika stood by after the collision and threw Iife buoys overboard, while a number of torpedo boats, after being informed of the accident by wireless telegraphy, searched the sea for hours. None of the other members of the crew, however, were found, and no sign of 'wreck- age was discernable in the vicin- , ity. The Amerika then proceeded be her voyage to Southampton and Cherbourg on her way to New York:,. This is, the sixth disaster to Brit- ish submarines, each of them in- volving the\,loss of from• eleven to fifteen lives: Lieut. Percy B. O'Brien was tlitt .commander of the "B2."

Windsor, Ohterlo, THE TITANIC DISASTER. Has Temporarily Frightened In. tending Emigrants. A despatch from Ottawa says : That the Titanic disaster temporar- ily stopped British immigration to Canada is one of the interesting features of an interim report as to immigration to Canada from Great Britain. The total immigration from Great Britain for this fiscal year up to the end of August was 95,142, as compared with 91,857 for the corresponding period last year, an increase of 3,825. During May immediately following the Titanic disaster there war a falling off of twelve per cent. on the arrivals from Great Britain, which the im- migration authorities attribute to the apprehension raised is the minds of intending immigrants as to the safety of the Atlantic pas- sage. For August, on the other hand, when this fear had passed, immigration from Great Britain in- creased thirty per cent. over Au- gust of last year. KITCHENER LEAVES PARIS.

TORONTO CORRESPONDENCE INTERESTING GOSSIP FROM ONTARIO'$ OAP IT/U.,. Non. Mr. Borden's Visit -Tho St. CIaIr Case -From Baseball to RuBby- The Senate Vacancies. Toronto has appreciated resent visite. from both the federal political leaders, The reception to A1r, Bordeu was unique. There has never been anything like it to Canada.. Seven thousand people at a banquet, fifteen hundred of them diners, ie a record, the size of wb.iuh may be sp." preciated when it is pointed out that Massey Hall will accommodate less the 4,000 people, and that the largoet dining room in Toronto will not seat more than 400 banquetters. The non -,artisan oharao- ter of the event has occasioned much fav- orable comment. Sir Wilfrid Laurier, on the other hand, has, during his tour, made no public ap- pearance in. Toronto, though he has, in Passing from one point to another, spent a day or two privately with friends here. No doubt, had he so chosen, he could have had a rousing meeting here, but he has had rousing meetings in Toronto before, only to see the Conservative majorities grow higher than ever on polling day. Apart from politics altogether, it is doubt- ful if Toronto has ever fully appreciated or understood Sir Wilfrid. And it le equally true that Sir Wilfrid has never understood Toronto. A gentleman who was with Sir Wilfrid in Quebec on the evening of September 21, 1911, recalls that when among the first returns to come in were the stupendous Toronto majorities, Sir Wilfrid quizzically remarked, 'Your city does not seem to like reciprocity." Whether it is Toronto's ultra Protest- antism, or its ultra Imperialism, or its ultra protectionism, or whether, as some say,it is that Sir Wilfrid has been poorly advised in matters relating to Toronto polities. the fact is that there has been less sympathy between the former Pre- mier and the oity of Toronto than gen- erally exists between any political leader and a similar center of population. Though that does not mean that he has not just as many warm personal admirers. here as he has anywhere. The Provincial bye-eleotions in Eaet Middlesex and in North Waterloo are arousing some interest. Not that the re- sult will have any appreolable effect on a Legislature that is preponderatingly one- sided, but there is curiosity to know what success Mr. Rowell is meeting with in building up en organization, and more especially what effect hie abolition of the bar platform is having in the country. As this is the first test of strength since his pronouncement, those specially in- terested in 'that issue will await the re- sult of the polls with interest. North Waterloo is not exactly a favorable con- stituency for the nurturing of such a policy and no doubt Mr. Rowell himself appreciates the humor in the fact that it, of all oonstituenoies, should be the one first opened by the government. East Middlesex may offer a different field. A JUDGE DRAWS FIRE. Judge J. H. Denton has drawn fire for his decision in the Rev. R. B. St. Clair case, which is a new sensation for him. His is not the kind of a personality that thrives on publicity. Judge Denton found St. Clair guilty of circulating obscene literature, though he suspended sentence. At the same time he declared that what Mr. St. Clair had writ- ten was a substantially correct report of what had taken place at the burlesque theatre. Now the friends of Mr. St. Clair complain that the judge would not admit evidence as to the attitude of the polioe department toward this theatre or as to the general reputation of the place itself onethe ground, no doubt, that neither the theatre nor the police department was on trial. He could dispose only of the charge that had been laid. At the same time the anomaly of the situation is apparent. If Rev. Mr. St Clair oommitted prime by circulating the re- port of what took place on the stage the speaking and acting of that performance must surely in itself have been a crime And it is from this point,of view that the police criticize the judgment. They main- tain that Mr. St Clair's report was a grossly exaggerated piece of literature. Judge Denton is naturally one of the moat fair-minded men one could meet and to do anyone an injustice would doubtless grieve him exceedingly. He is the type of a judge who leans to humane- ness rather than severity. By a frank statement of their • circumstances and a sincere confession of a desire to do bet- ter more than one prisoner coming before him for sentence has escaped with a shortened term. Another judge who is said to be sensitive to criticism is Judge Winchester, who has been prominent in many civic investiga- tions. He has been the victim of persist- ent attacks on the part of a local week- ly publication. That these attacks are said to be inspired by ene who not long ago was himself under investigation by the judge himself does not altogether re- move their sting. RUGBY TO THE FRONT. In sports the scene has changed with lightning rapidity. Yesterday we were hailing the winning of a baseball pen - ant. To -day we are cheering like mad for a "touch down." In Toronto the Varsity Rugby team again holds the centre of the stage by reason of the fact that they promise to maintain the quality of play set in re- cent years by their predecessors. Gener- ally speaking, there is noreat enthusi- hsm•.in the city proper for things; oonnect- ed witlr,,the University, and if there was a chance\ for a city team to beat Varsity on its merits that team would beregarded as the greatest baneh of heroes the town has seen in a doges age. But with Var- sity setting its present pace, such a feat is an impossible one. In. the first place, there is no city organization that can, command a tenth of the enthusiasm and exprit de corps of Varsity. The Argonaut• Club, with its long honorable record, has something of the spirit, but not much in comparison. Other clubs are organized, perhaps get together a team of stars and make a flash in the pan for a year or two and then pass into limbo. Not so at Varsity. The organization there is per- manent and there are always ten Candi. dates of brawn and muscle, and at the right age, for each place that is vacant. Besides, even given enthusiasm and candidates, no city club can get the prac- tice Varsity indulges in. bt is not pos- sible for their members to get off in the afternoons, and it is dark by six o'clock. Electric light practices at night are a poor substitute. On the whole it looks as though history in the United States would bo repeated, and that only Intercollegiate Rugby would survive eventually. Under the handicaps it is surprising that city football has survived as long and as well as it has. THE SENATE VACANCIES. The death of Sir Richard Cartwright leaves three vacancies in the Senate to be filled from Ontario and politicians are speculating as to who will get the plume. Toronto men would not seem to stand much chance, as none of the vacanoi,s have occurred in this district, but stranger things have happened than that one of the seats should fall among the numerous party stalwarts here. Besides Sir Cartwright's seat the other vacancies are those caused by the. death of Senator Wilson and the disqualification b." non-attendance of Senator Sullivan of Kingston. Among the names that have been mentioned as possible successors to Senator. Sullivan aro Mr. Denis Murphy, ex-M,P,P., of Ottawa, at present a mem- ber of the Te',uiekamin and Northern On. tario Commission; r. George Gordon, ex-M.P. for Niplssing, who resigned hie seat far Hon. Frank Cochrane, and Mr. Thomas Birkett, ex•M,P. for Ottawa. For Western Ontario a name frequently mentioned is that of Mr. W. S. Dingman, proprietor of the Stratford Herald, an ex. Mayor of Stratford and a peat president of the Canadian Press Association. It is pointed out that of the pf'esent Ontario representation in the • Senate only four rmaide west of To to, .itiaa'aely, Senators Coffey, London; ' eon; Ilean1;3ville; Me, Mttllen, Mount `Pdtsbt,' ad Matt, Parkhill.

FIFTY-FIVE PEOPLE HURT. ..A.nd One Killed When Car Ran Away and Hit Telephone Pole.

CANADA. Sir William Mackenzie has decid- ed to build a street railway in Stratford. United States bills raised from one dollar to five dollars are being circulated in Toronto. Montreal's two and a half million bushel elevator was opened for business by Hon. J. D. Hazen. The C. P.

A life --size statue of Joan of Arc, by afamous French sculptor, was unveiled in Montreal on Sunday afternoon. Ten million tons of freight passed through the Sault Canals during September, making it the best month in their history:' The license of Capt. Fred Stew- art and his son, Raymond G.

GENERAL There was a fierce frontier en- gagement between Turks and Ser- vians. The situation shows no im- provement. The German Foreign Minister stated that war in the Balkans may break out at any moment, but that the powers were united in their de- termination to prevent any terri- torial changes as the result of the war. In the United Kingdom, there are a million children between the ages of twelve and sixteen who are not being educated. iillil01 r?slt ililel:fiilliPINIOnililllIPI aili!101$0111mnul1111111111111101uluiiun..i10.111E111111irn11111/ air,1111lmomlRmlmruni IE: I I N..70T ..k.1 M eTe 08 ANT For the investment --of surplus funds or the re- investment of dividends we recommend any of the following securities as combining absolute safety of principal with high interest. • Price Yield TORONTO PAPER, 6% First Mortgage Bonds.., ... 98 61/a % Due 1942.

Since April 1 $8,000,000 in Small Bills Has Gone Up in Smoke. A despatch from Ottawa says i, The Government has money to burn. Since April 1st last the stok= ers of the furnaces in the Finance Department have burned four and a half million dollars' worth of one- dollar bills, and over three million dollars' worth of two -dollar bills.,. And. since April 1st, 1911, some twenty-seven and a half millions in small bills have gone up in the smoke. It may be explained, how- ever,. that this has nothing to do with ,the Government's aptitude for • "reckless expenditure." The money burned consisted of worn or_ dirty Dominion notes and they have been replaced with crisp, new, clean sanitary bills. The Treasury has really lost nothing. But in a figurative sense the Government maybe truly said to have "money to urn." THREE BROTHERS TO HANG. Found Guilty of Murdering titan During an Alteroation. A despatch from Halifax, N. S., says: The three Graves brothers, accused of the murder of Kenneth Lea, were on Friday night found guilty and sentenced by the Chief Justice to hang on January 15 next. In June last the three accuse ' brothers, Alfred, Fred and Harp Graves, came along the road near Port Williams, singing, . swearing and half intoxicated. They were asked to desist by Lea as they ap- proached his house and stopped in front thereof. Finally, Lea said that if they did not'stop he would shoot. They came on Lea's grounds and in a fracas which followed one of the men struck Lea with the butt of the gun and as he did so the gun was discharged and Lea was badly wounded, dying two days later - 1p A PITIFUL CASE. • Bother Tries to Kill Herself and Children.
