11Iagneflcent Welcome to the Duke
and Duchess.
A deapatch from Montreal says:-
The Duke .and Dueness of Cornwall
anti York accomplished the first
stage of their journey 'theougdt,Can-
Ode on Wednesday, inakiog se, fast
run of five hours from Quebec to
Montreal. The Morning was ideal
for traveling, a sunny, cool Septem-
ber day, but when brotntreal was

cess of the Montreal visit as they
and for a while threatened tho sue -
had deprosbed that at Climbers The
niisfo'tune was temporary, however,
and there can be no question of the
success of the Royn, tourueo, so far
as Montreal is concerned,.
ARRIVED IN MONTREAL.
Not loss than twenty thousand peo-
ple had Fathered in Montreal for a
sight of the Duke, and practically
the whole population turned out for
the occasion. As the train pulled in
to tiro Place Vigor Station thous-
ands of faces could be seen, some
thronging the bridge outside the sta-
tion, others clustered on the house-
tops, and many thousands on Notre
Dame street, which lies on an eleva-
tion of land and overlooks the scene.
It was, moreover, a decorated city
which they entered. Flags were fly-
ing everywhere. As in Quebec, the
crowds, though unquestionably warns
and enthusiastic, did not cheer or
Blake as much noise as an English-
speaking populace would have done.
To the Englishmen who have been
half wound. the world and back
again with the Ophir, this was a
matter of surprise, At Cape Town.
and at the Australian cities the
cheering was stertorous, but the
French-Canadian is not a lusty
shouter on occasions of this kind,
A SEA OF SIGHTSEERS.
When the party emerged from the
depot a wonderful sight met their
eyes. The gardens of the Pince Vigor
with their beautiful trees lay before
them covered with thousands of citi-
zens. A line of soldiers fringed the
trowel and left the avenues of ap-
proach clear. "Notre Ilutur Itoi
was emblazoned above the entrance
of tiro 'station. A decorated st'.nd
was erected in the centre of the place'
and when it was reached the Duke
found that every approach so far as
the eye could roadie every roof, and
window commanding , a, view, how-
ever distant, every tree that afforded
a point of .vantage was thronged
with human beings. Some distance
away a human:ling made UP of hail'
Mania of , little girls in red, white and
blue dress, arranged in the linos of
the "Union :Jack sang patriotic song's.
This feature was particularly. attrac-
tivo to the Duchess, who smiled on
the children from the distance while.
the publlo address was being read,
and remarked on it to her ladies-in-
waiting. The civic address of Mon-
treal was read by Mayor Prefontaine
in French only.
PEVENING OPILTBRA'lIONS,
7n the (wooing a state dinner was
given, while the city of Montreal cel-
ebrated with magnificent illumina-
tions and fireworks. The mer-
chants carne forward with intense
local patr'iotisrn to make the recep-
tion a great success. FTa1f the build-
ings in the business district were
beautiful -with incandescent lights.
Fireworks of the most brilliant char-
acter were used with a free hand.
The corporation had selected several
points around the city es centres for
the spectacle, and thus every citizen
bed a chance to see something in
comfort. The sight of the magnifi-
cent shower of fireworks on Mount
Royal, as seen from the Champ do
Mars. proved unforgetahle. The
lookout far up on the brow of the
rock was used as the firing point,
and to the naked eye that section of
Mount Royal appeared like a living
volcano belching • forth showers of
Me. The rockets were sent up from
all sections of the city in dazzling
profusion. The people thronged the
streets, and you would say that a
great festival was in progress.
The cancellation of the civic recep-
tion was an immense 'disappointment
to scores of -ladies, who bad spent
their pin money in an effort to look
wen when they were, presented to the
Duchess.
Thursday the Duke paid several
visits to local institutions, and his
most important excursion was his
visit to the Anglican synod which
was in session. Thursday afternoon
he left for Ottawa, where the Royal
train for 'the west was put together
on a somewhat different basis than it
had been.
BRITISH SHIP FOUNDERS.
The Cobra Strikes a Reek in the
Noeth Sea.
A. despatch from London says: -
The torpedo boat destroyer, the Cob-
ra, has foundered in the North Sea,
as the result of an explosion. The
vessel was en route from the yard of
her builders, the Armstrongs, of
New Castle, to Portsmouth, and car-
ried a navigating crew of sevennty-
nine. For sixty-seven no hope is
held out, but the torpedo boats and
cruisers have gone at lull speed to
the scene of the disaster,which is
tate most serious the navy has suffer-
ed since the sinking of the Victoria.
• Lieut. 13oswortlt Smith, the Cob-
ra's commander, stood upon the
brid_re with his arms folded, as im-
passive as if on parade, and went
down with the vessel.
The first intimation of the disaster
was the arrival of a fishing boat at
Yarmouth with six bodies, which site
had picked up in the vicinity of the
spot there the Cobra was last seen.
According to the fishermen the Cobra
was sighted by the lightship oil Dow-
sing Sands on Wednesday morning,
enveloped in sterna, and soon after-
wards site disappeared. The men on
the lightship supposed the Cobra had
sailed array, until the evening, when
they observed bodies floating in the
water, and signaled to the fishing
boat to investigate the disaster.
SURVIVORS LANDED.
A despatch from Middleboro says
12 survivors of the Cobra were land-
- ed there on Thursday morning, and 1
confirms the report that all the oth-
ers were drowned: The British Ad-
miralty iralty has received information
that the explosion occurred after the
Cobra struck a rock, and that site
sank immediately
She only lived three hours. Her mo-
ther and Bliss McMillan are still un-
conscious at the hospital, and there
is small chance for their recovery.
The second Bliss Thomas escaped
with a few bruises.
MINE FIRE MUST BURN.
Has Burned for Twenty Years and
Cost 45 Lives.
One of the greatest fires in his-
tory, a subterranean conflagra-
tion which has already been raging
for over twenty years, is causing re-
newed interest In 'the coal mining
districts of Nova Scotia, from the
discouraging reports that all efforts
to circumvent the flames have prov-
ed fruitless and that !tope is now
prectleally abandoned.
The scene of the disaster is near
the miring town of New Glasgow in
the peninsula province, down by the
sea, and the fire originated in 1880.
It is burning in a rich scum of coal,
thirty feet thick, and in a mine that
has a shaft 1,000 feet deep. The
problem of extinguishing the flames
is no nearer solution than it was
twenty -ono years ago. Water has
been let in, but the fire is above
the sea level, and the a :pensive work
of flooding has had no effect.
After many futile attempts to ex-
tinguish the fb'e, the engineer's di-
rected their efforts towards devising
plans for circumventing it, and
'caching the coal still intact. To
that end all the approaches leading
to the lire and all the neighboring
workings were walled up, and new
p
tvorkbngs were driven lower down.
but every plan so far devised bas
roved a failure. The all -conquering
Ire bus broken throe ''1n, and every
ew work has been reluctantly nban-
oned,
On one occasion the explosion that
erpetrnted this destructive and ob-
tinate fire caused the death of for-
ty-frve miners, They were awaiting
he arrival of a car with some tools
nd a boy had been sent out with a
urry-up message when the explosion
correct All that could. be learned
was from the boy's story. He had

o their ashes have mingled with the
rumbling coal seam which has burn-
cl for a generation, and will burn,
o doubt, for generations to come,
There are unsolved problems about,
he explosion, and suspicions that
rotecting walls wore not sullciently
rick. But no now light will ever be
brown on the tragedy which sud-
only cut off and consumed. a sturdy
etacbment of the army of industry.
The Cobra, like her sister boat, the 1
Viper, was a turbine -engined vessel. n

referred to are the only survivors. NT

TROLLEY ACCIDENT. n
tl
Three Ladies in a Carriage Fatally t
injured. • 1
A despatch from St. Catharines d
says; --A very serious accident oc-
marred about three o'clock Wednes-
day afternoon, when a trolley car
on. the Niagara, St. Catharines and.
Toronto Railway ran into a rig at
the Niagara Street crossing. Four
ladies, Mrs, Thomas and her two
dattghtete, and Miss McMillan of tit
lillaliburg, were in the carriage a.t r
the time. It is said that they did d
not notice the trolley until almost in
upon the tracks, when the horses p
became frightened and rushed ahead. ti
The motorman, being, llnel)lin to stop dex
the car in tired, ran into thorn.
Three of the occupants, Mrs,
'Phomas, her daughter; aged 13, and
Mies McMillan, received terrible in-
juries, Arise Thomas had hor arm

BRITISH FORCE CAPTURED.
Gen. Botha invades Natal With 1500
Men and Two Guns,
A .despatch from London says: -A
despatch from Lord Kitchener to the
War 011ice on Thursday reports two
serious disasterin Bouth Africa,
nncl shows that the British are in a
worse position than even the casual-
ties indicate. It is no longer doubt-
fn1 that the Doers are prepared to
adopt counter tactics to meet the
tow British methods which were to
o'adopted after Septeinber 15.
Lord Kitcltener's despatch read:
The 33oers, on September 17, am-
bushed three companies of mounted
infantry, with three guns. commune-
ed by Major Gough, in tate vicinity
of Scheeper's Nek. After severe
fighting the British were overpower-
ed, and lost their guns, the sights
and breech blocks of which were first
destroyed. Two officers nod fourteen
men were killed, and five officers and
25 mon were wouruled. Five officers
and 150 men were made prisoners.
Major Gough, tvho escaped during
the night, reports that the Boers
numbered a thousand men and that
they were commanded by General
Botha.
General French reports that Com-
mandant Smuta, in order to break
through a cordon, rushed on a squad-
ron of the 17th Lancers at Elands
River Poort, killing three officers and
twenty 01011, The Boers, who were
dressed in khaki, and were mistaken
for British troops, lost heavily.
The intention of the Boers is to
make a determined effort to obtain a
strong foothold boot in Cape Colony
and Natal. ' The position is acute,
and there will be immediate repris-
als on British inhabitants if the for-
feiture and banishment of Lord ICit-
chener's proclamation are enforced.
Utrecht, or Scheeper's Nek, is close
to Natal, and it is more than likely
that Cenral Botha hes already in-
vaded that country. The fight at
Ta'kasd was in the middle eastern
portion of Cape Colony, where the
country is most difficult for British
troops, and the inhabitants are
largely pro -Boer, Itis certain that
the Boers will attempt to stake a
vigorous and aggressive campaign in
British territory, 'The grass, which
is now beginning to grow on the
veldt, will reduce the disadvantage
of the Boers' shortage of stores.
Gen. Botha has with hint. 1,500
Shen. ITe has one Creusot gun and

Home in Ohio,
A despatch from Canton says
The streets of the little eity of
Canton on Iifonday morning wore
filled with waving; pitunes, prancing
horses, and densely pacleocl bodies of
moving heli assembling hero for
the procession which' was to escort
the remains Of the late President
from the church to West Lawn come,-
tory this afternoon. All, night long
civil, ,military, fraternal, social and
commercial orgttnizatiooe from the
four quarters of the compass had
been pouring in, and so fast dicl the
trains arrive that there appeared to
be ono continuous string of cur's un-
loading their human freight through
tiro station into the congested
streets beyond. Thirty special trains
in addition to the regular trains,
had arrived before noon. The big-
gest crowd in the history of Canton,
which war here during the campaign
of 1896, estimated at nvor 660,000,
was exceeded to -clay.
TILE OROWDTNG PIIOPL]8.
Tito people overflowed the side-
walks and literally packed the
streets from side to side. Tho awe-
stricken crowds upon their arrival
all moved as by in. common impulse
toward the old familiar IfcI1inley
cottage where the remains were lye
ing. Military guards, stationed at
the four corners of the lawn, paced
their boats, but there was no other
sigh of life about the house of
death. Tho - window shades were
down. A long border of black,
which had been put in place after
the body was removed to the house
last night, -fringed the roof of the
porch from which President McKin-
ley had spoken to delegations from
every State in the Union, unci where
Ito had met and talked with the
chieftains of his party. No badge of
conventional mourning was on the
door. Instead there was a simple
wreath of palms bisected by a'beau-
ti•ifulbbon, band of wide purple satin

TONS AND TONS OF FLOWERS,
When Mrs. Mci{inley came int° the
death chamber or Wednesday night
for her last moments beside her
dead husband, she wished to have tt
final look at the upturned face, but
this was irirpossible, and the sealed
casket with the flowers and flags
were all that she saw.
The collection of flowers was pro
bably the most beautiful over' seen 1
in the United States. The cohserva-=
torics of the country had been de-'
nuded to supply them, liy the db-!
