15,000 persons are homeless as a

lion yen. Among the buildings
burned were several churches, in-
cluding the Baptist Tabernacle,

let in his breast, living only a few
hours. Conte and Deccio were both

tricts now served by the railways.

Secretary and member for Atlin in

ments to proceed to the field of the
new find. At Atlin he will go over-
land by dog team and sled to the
lower end of Testin Lake. The dig-
gings are reported to be from three
to six feet deep, and the gold taken
out is said to be coarse and to
greatly resemble the gold peculiar

MADERO AND SUA
EZ KILLED
Former President and View -President of Mexico Shot
While Being Taken to Penitentiary.
A despatch from Mexico City
says: Francisco I. Madero, former
President of Mexico-, and Jose Pine
Suarez, who served as Vice -Presi-
dent until the overthrow of the
Madero regime, were shot and
killed while being taken from the
National Palace to the penitentiary
early Sunday morning. Groups of
friends :of the deposed President
are said -to have gathered along the
route followed by the guards, mak-
ing demonstrations of sympathy,
and at times threatening to free the
prisoners by force. During a per-
iod of excitement the officers in
command of the party gave an or-
der to fire, and the bodies of the
men who were but lately in author-
ity over those who in this way
wreaked vengeance on their former
Executive, were filled with bullets.
Two of the attacking mob were
killed. Madero and Suarez Bank
limply and died almost without a
murmur. Aghast at the terrible
work their friendship wrought, the
men and women who but a moment
before had been crying their sympa-
thy and promising woe for those
who harmed a hair of the ex -Presi-
dent, fell back before the guns of
the soldiery that were turned men-
acingly in their direction,
News of the fearful deed travelled
on winged feet, and within a half-
hour there was greater excitement
throughout the capital than there
was two weeks ago, when the gar-
rison revolted against the Madero
regime. Thousands of people, in-
cluding practically all the foreign
population, gathered in the streets,
all stunned by what seemed the
grossness oft the act.
Mrs. Madero, her heart already
torn with fear and doubt for the
safety of her husband, was apprised
of the end that had come to the
man• of whom she was so proud.
She was paralyzed by the shock,
and is in .a most critical condition.
TO BE READY FOR WAR.
President Poincare of France Ad-
vocates Increase in the Army.
A ;dpatch from Paris says :
Raymond Poincare, the new Presi-
dent of 'the French Republic, in his
first message, read to the two
Houses of Parliament on Thursday,
made some pointed references to
the necessity of increasing France's
military forces. He referred to the
responsibilities of the present time,
and quoted the adage that "Peace
is not decreed by the will of one
power." He said it was impossible
for any nation to be effectively
pacific unless it was always ready
for war, A France with diminished
power and exposed by her own
fault to defiance•s or humiliations
would, he said, be France no more.
It wo ld, he continued, be a crime
against civilization to allow the na-
tion to decrease its forces while
other nations developed theirs
without cessation.
STOPPED OPENING PRAYER.
LieimltsVevernor -NIof Indiana Told
Chaplain to Stop.
A despatch • from Indianapolis,
Ind., says: Lieutenant -Governor
O'Neill caused- a sensation in the
Senate on Thursday when he stop-
ped the Rev. E: R. Henry of the
Emmanuel Baptist Church of this
city, who was making the opening
prayer, and said :-"Stop making a
political speech." The minister
had prayed for the separation of
the rum traffic from the State and
for the day when Indiana would re-
fuse to sell to men the right to
make other men drunkards, mur-
derers, filling prisons and beneto-
lent institutions. The Lieutenant -
Governor, who had been showing
signs 'of impatience, vigorously
banged the marble slab with his
gavel and commanded the minister
to -stop. He ordered the journal to
be read, and Rev. Mr. Henry im-
mediately left the chamber.

bitt Timber Limits.
A despatch from Winnipeg says :
A transaction which promises far-
reaching effects was consummated
a few days ago, whereby the Grain
Growers' Grain Company purchas-
ed timber limits near Fort George,
B.C,, comprising about 300,000,000
feet of lumber at a price of about
$1.50 per. 1,000 feet. It is said to
be the intention of the grain -grow-
ers to hold this as a reserve supply,
with the idea of establishing lum-
ber -yards at different points in the
Province for the purpose of supply-.
ing farmers and settlers with lum-
ber at reasonable prices.
