YEII OR
Arrival of the Duke and Duchess
naught at Quebec
.& despatch from Quebec says:
His Royal Highness the Duke of
Connaught is Governor-General of
Canada. In this capacity he and
the Duchess were on Friday wel-
c need ofacially by representatives
of the Dominion, of the Province of
Quebec, and by the city of Quebec.
It was a great day in the city of
Quebec. Demonstration after de-
monstration of popular feeling fol-
lowed each other during the whole
day on every occasion, when the
Duke and Duchess made their suc-
cessive appearances in public.
It has been a day of events, not
only of the utmost significance to
themselves and to the people of
Quebec, but to the whole of Can-
ada, and to the Empire itself. This
began to happen in the morning,
when the Duke and his party first
set foot on Canadian soil at the
King's Wharf. The Duke and Duch-
ess were but Royal visitors to Can-
ada at this hour, and as such they
were welcomed by the two leading
men of the country, Sir Charles
Fitzpatrick, Deputy Governor-Gen-
eral, and Hon. R. L. Borden, Prime
Minister.
A SIMPLE CEREMONY.
Within an hour after rhes- had
-landed they were no longer visitors.
Canada is now their home, and
they occupy the highest positions
which man and woman can hold in
the country. The ceremony of in-
stallation, which was performed at
the Parliament Buildings in the
Legislative Council chambers, was
exceedingly. simple, but was none
the less fraught with great mean-
ing and impressiveness. Three
oaths of not more than fifteen words
each were all his Royal Highness
diad to subscribe to. They were ad-
ministered by Sir Louis. Davies.
senior Judge of the Supreme.Caurt.
The oath of allegiance to his Ma-
jesty the King, the oath that he
would well and truly exercise his
office as Governer -General to the
best of his knowledge and ability,
and the oath that he would safely
. keep the Great. Beal ,of •Canada •=
these Were all. and after each was
mead to him his Royal highness
reverently kissed a copy of the Holy
Scriptures.
THE SOCIAL SIDE.
'A luncheon given at the Chateau
of Con-
Frontenac by the Dominion Gov-
ernment, a, •dinner at Speneerwood,
the residence of Sir Francois Lange-
lier, Lieut, -Governor of Quebec,
and a reception in the Parliament
Buildings later in the -evening by
Sir Francois Learner, were the
chief of the brillir.,-,t events of she
day.
•
THE DUKE'S MESSAGE. ,
"For myself personally I have
only one wish, and that is to serve,
Canada, to make myself at home in
this country, and to do all I can '4e,
promote its •best interests, and also
to promote that connection to the
Empire which I think of such im-
portance to Canada."
These, were the words of H. R. H.
the Duke of Connaught, 'Governor
General of Canada, on the occa-
sion of the first public event after
his installation. It was his first
message to the Canadian people as
their Governor-General•.
WARM GREETING AT OTTAWA.
A despatch from Ottawa says:
One-half of the population of Ot-
tawa turned out on Saturday after-
noon to welcome to the capital the
new Governor-General of Canada
and the Duchess of Connaught. Be-
tween forty .and fifty thousand peo-
ple must have gathered at the sta-
tion, along the streets, and on Par-
liament Hill, and it was the great-
est demonstration of enthusiasm
the city has seen since the visit of
the present King some years ago.
Wherever the Vice -Regal party
was there was a din of tremendous
cheering. From the time they ar-
rived in the Union Station from
their special train, during their
procession through the streets, and
.at the civic reception in front of the
Parliament buildings, until they
had entered the portals of Rideau
Hall, there was quietness for not
more than a minute or two at a,
time, except during the reading of
the addresses to the Duke and while
his Royal Highness was replying.
A more truly representative civic
reception than that on-Parliament-
Hill•there could not have been, for
not oiily •did, Mayor Hopewell wel-
come the Duke and Duchess on be-
half. of the citizens of Ottawa, but
addresses were also presented by
the societies of four races of people
dwelling in the city—namely, St.
George's Society, St. Andrew's So-
CI{IlA IN GRIP OF All
Rebels Have Captured Wu -Chang, the
Capital of Hupeli,
'A despatch from Hankow, China,
Lays : The revolutionaries have won
s. notable victory, gaining posses -
bion of the city of Wu -Chang after
n battle with the loyal troops that
began on Tuesday lid continued
well into the night. Tile eommand-
er of the troops defending the city
was killed by a bomb and the Vice-
roy escaped only by hasty flight.
The fear of the officials now is that
the disaffection in the troops will
spread to this city. Five gunboats
are now in the river in readiness to
protect Hankow, if possible, should
necessity arise. The foreign con -
e els have also telegraphed their
Governments asking that warships
be sent to the scene Japanese
cruisers are expected here immedi-
ately, while severe gunboats are
hastening hither.
The proclamation of the Revolu-
tionary Committee threatened with
decapitation anyone who assaulted
a foreigner. The movement aim's
at the overthrow of Manchus, the
reigning dynasty. The foreign con-
4luls at a conference decided not to
comply with the Chinese request
that they employ foreign gunboats
to prevent the revolutionaries from
crossing the river to Hankow. The
✓ evolutionaries sent a circular let-
ter to the consuls asking that
foreigners remain neutral and as-
iiuring them that they would not be
PLAN TO CAPTURE CHINA.
Adespatch from Hankow says:;
The revolution which has been
hanging over China for months
past, and of which the rising in the
Province of Sze -Chuen was only a
small part, has begun in earnest.
It is a ooneerted movement to take
the empire and declare ts, eepublic,
'rued exiled revolutionist, Dr.
Sun Yat Sen, leader of the anti -
.Manchu party, if the plans do not
miscarry, isto be elected President.
He was the delegate of the revolu-
tionary party to the United States
in 1910, and is believed, during that
tour, to have made arrangements
for the financing of the movement.
Sun Yu, a brother of Dr. Sun Yat
Sen, who is now in Hankow,'"lias
been elected President of the Pro-
vincial Assembly, and Tang Hua
Lung, the retiring President of the
Assembly, and a noted scholar, has
been elected Governor of Hu-Peh.
The whole Assembly has seceded
from the Imperial Government.
The rebels are well organized and
financially strong. They have con-
fiscated the local treasuries and
banks, and are issuing their own
paper money, redeeming the Gov-
ernment notes with this, as the
foreign banks are refusing the Gov-
ernment notes.
The revolutionaries have captur-
ed Wu -Chang, the native section of
Hankow, and Han -Yang, all adjoin-
ing cities in Hu -Pell Province.
Chang -Sha, capital of Hunan, is re-
ported to have risen in revolt, and
Nanking, capital of the Province
of Kiang -Su, is on the verge of a
rising, and several public buildings
have been destroyed.
Thousands of soldiers have joined
the mutiny in Hu-Peh. Many Man-
chus have been killed, and the ter-
rified people are fleeing from the
cities into the country 4,arrying
their belongings. The prisons have
b11en opened and the eriminals lib-
•erated. There has been Sighting in

titlt;•;eslions in Report of Quebec's
Royal Conuiission,
A despatch from Montreal says:
Striking statements concerning the
spread of the '`white plagne" ail
this province are contained in the
report of the Royal Commission on
Tuberculosis, which has.• just .been
published, The report includes the
following features: .
"That the death rate from tuber-
culosis is higher in Quebec than in.
Ontario or the adjacent a1,, t y. ;
that, while in other countries lards
death rate decreased from 40 at 'a0
per cent. as a result of a well ,m-
ganized campaign, it reniaiiord sta-
tionary in Quebec; that the d aith
rate in the rural districts. in Que-
bec nearly equals that of the sit-
les."
The measures against tubereule-
sis itself include an educational
campaign showing people that tu-
berculosis is infectious and is ay:oid-,
able ; compulsory disinfeetirii of
dwellings; enforcement of by -laws
forbidding expectoration in public
Places the creation of anti -tuber-
salmis dispensaries and isolation of

TEETHING TIME WORRY.
Baby's teething time was once a
source of worry to all mothers—it
is yet a time of worry to 1nat,y,
though there are thousands of mo-
thers who have learned the secret
which banishes this worry. Mothers
who worry, who see their little
ones suffering from difficult teeth•
ing; who are worn out by day and
kept awake at night by the cries of
the baby in distress, should follow
the example of the thousands and
give their little ones Baby's Own
Tablets—the remedy for worry
the never failing banisher of baby's
pains. Concerning them Mrs. H.
Monette, Jr., I aplde de l'Or'ignal,
Que., says :--"My baby cried day
and night and suffered from his
teeth. A few doses of Baby's Own
Tablets made him healthy and hap-
nv and his teething easy and pain-
less. I would not be without therm."
The Tablets are sold by medicine
dealers o1' by mail at 25 crents a box
