One of the men was Detective Jeremiah O'Brien of Buffalo, N. J.

His Lordship declared that the City Council had violated their powers by ap- pointing •euch a committee and that the enquiry made and the report about to be made were worthless, inasmuch as civic employees and officers had a right to belong to any literary, scientific, phil- osophic or any. other association. The fact, he said, of employees belonging to any organization would not be justifiable grounds for administering a reprimand.

Rescuers are. working heroically to reach the entombea miners. At midnight they had reached_ the first level at a, depth of 350 feet, The work is extremely hazardous owing to ennob- ling wails. It is thought to be hardly possible that five of the men who were in the car be- low the sixth level coultt have escaped death. If ties explosion occurretl above the level it is believed. that the car shut off by a slide of earth and that the five men may be imprisoned. 2,200 feet below the surface. The explosion completely wrecked the workings of the mine, causing the wail to cave in, and hurling heavy timbers and steel supports out of the mouth di the shaft with such velocity that they were shot hundreds of feet above the month of the mine, The cause of the been ascertained. explosion has N.

She will appear AS the figure next in im- portanceto the reigning King. Queen Alexandra has conveyed her wishes to King George, who, in turn, will emu- inUnicate them to the coronation authorities. ONLY GOSSIP. London, Nov. 6.—(New York Tri- bune Cable).—Queen Alexandra's re- turn from Denmark has,beep. preceded by ill-natured gossip regarding her jealousy of QUeell Mary, and one social paper anounces that she in- sists on a ruling from the King equals izing the positions of the two queens. This gossip is baseless, the relations between the two queens being cordial, and King George being a most con.- eiderate and affectionate son, Lord Kitchener received a hearty send-off Saturday on bie trip to the Nile. THE HOBBLE SKIRT. London, Nov. 6.—The fact that Queen Mary has pronounced against the hobble Skirt does not seem to have affected that garment tu any appreci- able extent, To be sure, the ladies in the Queen's immediate entourage do not wear the style that has met with her Majesty's disfavor, but the rest of the women in the kingdom go on merrily hobbling to their heart's con- tent. As a matter of fact, Queen Mary's pronouncements on the subject of these are not apt to be taken very seri- ous by her feminine subjects, as elm has never been considered a really well-dressed woman. Being strong- minded, she will not consent to sug- gestions, and therefore relies on her own uncertain judgruent in the matter of clothes. Queen Alexandra, on the other hand, is regarded as particular- ly and tastefully well dressed, and her special likes and dislikes were slavishly followed by her feminine subjects. On one point, however, Queen Mary means to be very firm, according to her intimate friends," and that ie on the eubject of jewelry. She considers that English women nowadays are wearing far too many precious stones. Her Majesty has many and beautiful jewels herself, but she rarely wears them save at Of- ficial functions an4 large affaire, and she objects strongly to the habit which has been developed recently of wear- ing ropes and ohains, pendants and tiaras at small dinners and informal receptions, CROWE SENTENCED Made Long Oration Which Made His Sentence All the Longer.

Winnipeg, Man., Nov. 6.—Gerald Crowe, the notorious forger, who got $21600- from the Bank of -Hamilton by a shrewd piece of work, was yesterday sentenced to ten years in the peniten- tiary. His Toronto sweetheart supplied the incriminating evidence. There was a spectaeular feature to the case when Crowe, in a half hour's talk, denounced the court and detectives and declared his trial a farce. During the course of this argument the prisoner spoke in flowery language, bristling with legal phrases of all kinds. Crowe made an attack on the evidence of the Pink- erton detective. He had never made any confession of any kind to Ilassel. biad. "I am innocent of this cluerge," said. Crowe, in conclusion. "I ain not asking for any light sentence or for mercy. Your Lordship is prejudiced against me, but I appeal to you as a fair-minded man that I have not had a fair trial. If you knew the fads as I know them it would. be different." "Your years were in my keeping," said his Lordship impressively, "and. X had decided to be as economical of them as I could, but by your adieus and statements this morning you have shak- en my conviction and for nui to -clomp my mind. 3. have come to the conclusion that you tire too defigerous a man to be itt large.

General Strike and Tie Up All Wheels Expected in New York, 'New York, Nov, 7.—On the eve of A labor conference, at which a move to eall a general strike in support of the sttiking express employees will be die - cussed, with the anuounced probability that an attempt will be made to tie up practically everything on wheels in this. city, a strike of 1,000 driver.* of taxi- cabs was deelared to -day in sympathy with the express mu. It was declared Unit the calling out of the taxicab &iv- ers was attended as the beginning of one of the meat determined haw moves 'tient* this city has ever witnessed, law meeting at which It was deeiled to cal out the ehauffeurs was held at an cerly hour, and according to pike of- fielal, there were about 3.000 ebauffears present. It was decided, lioWe7or, not to call out the men in several garages maintaining union conditions. The taxicab men etty that the chauf- feurs were striking in sympathy with the express men, but added that they had formulated. demands of their own which include recognition of the union, a 12 -hour day with an hour off for din- ner and a weekly wage of $1740. The strike leaders to -day declared their belief that a general strike—was inevitable. There was not a hint of peace negotiations in the early strike news and interest centred in the con- ferences being lwld between Samuel Campers, peesident of the American Fed.- eration of Labor; Daniel J. Tobin, presi- dent of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, and other labor leaders. It was expected that the general counsel of the teamsters would meet during the day to decide definitely on the general strike situation. It was understood that some of the express companies had decided not to attempt further movement of merchan- dise through the eity until after elec- tion day, fearing violence during the withdrawal from the streets of thou- sands of policemen for duty at the THE APPLE SHOW Vancouver's Exhibition the Finest the • World Ever Saw. Toronto, Nov. 7.—A. 0, Pratt, M. P. P. for South Norfolk, returned last night from the coast, where he went to attend the exhibition of fruit at Van- couver. Mr. Pratt stated to -day that the cxhibtion of apples was one of the finest the world has ever seen, and, said: "It was the greets:et display of modern times. Tee weetern spirit is the same at the coast no it is in some other places. They are asking $250 to $500 an acre for land along the coast as apple lands that can be beaten from every point in Oa- tario at less than half the money. In settle portions of Oregon they are ask- ing $5,000 an acre and it's really funny to see the rush of people who are look- ing to be done up. British Columbia and the coast will never be it serious competitor for the apple market against Ontario, and in less than ten years' time over $1,000,000 worth of apples will be shinned out of Norfolk County alone:, • • er MAY BE CARDINAL Mgr.
