One of the Trilled was Nathaniel Brown, Pullman Saar porter, of..Montreal. Passenger No. 16, the Grand Trunk's fast Toronto -Montreal ex- press, pulled out of the Union Station at eleven o'clock Thureday night. Most of her passengers were from Montreal. Just east of York Station the baggage car was de -railed, as the •result, it is believed, of a split rail. This pulled the three day coaches and three of the seven Pullmans off the rails also - Almost at the instant a westbound freight pounded down the adjoining track. The engineer of the freight locomotive made frantic efforts to ap- ply his brakes, out without success, the big compound plowing into the wreckage which hacl been thrown over the westbound track. The'three day coaches escaped with- out serious damage and so far as is known, none of the passengers in them were injured. The first Pull - Six Derailed Coaches of To- s, Which Had Left the o a Split Rail, man, however, was tilted, well •over and the freight loco,notive tore the entire side out of this car. It was in this Pullman that most of the vic- tims were. The second and third sleepers were badly damaged, but it is believed no one among their passengers was seri- ously injured. The following cars .escaped unscathed. A hurry cell was immediately sent to polite and railway headquarters and doctors, nurses and ambulances Were rushed to the scene, The dis- order prevailing about the wreck was indescribable, but as fast as the in- jured could be removed from the wreckage they were given first aid and rushed to various hospitals.

No Conciliation Till - Beige of Terror Ends A despatch from London says : -- The Irish problem again was brought up in the House of Commons on Thurs- day and the question of con- ciliation between the Irish peo- ple was raised. Premier Lloyd George, giving his "opinion in the matter, declared: "I have always been con- vinced that no policy of eon - ciliation is possible in Ireland until the reign of terror has been broken, for the very ob- vious reason that men in Ire- land who would be prepared to enter into negotiations at the present time are in terror of their lives and cannot do so freely." MOUNTED POLICE CAPTURED INDIAN Who Had Eluded the Grasp of Provincial Police. - A despatch from Winnipeg says:— There is a quite old-time touch to a story just given out by the Manitoba Provincial Police. Louis Houle, an Indian of the Ebb and Flow Reserve, was arrested last October and sent to the Dauphin jail for a series of thefts. He was to stay 18 months, hut on the sec- ond of November he escaped and went back to the re -serve, The Provincial Police went after him, but the Indians put up a forcible resistance and they returned without the prisoner. The Royal Canadian Meunted Po- lice were appealed to, and a detach- ment went off to the reserve. They succeeded in bringing Iloule back, but so far have not told how they se- cured hind. Meantixne the Provincial Police are taking steps to identify and punish the Indians who took part in the obstruction of the officers of the law. FRANCE DONATES MEMORIAL STONE Wilt Adorn Parliament Build- ings and Guard Honor Roll. A despatch from Ottawa say-s:— Mr. John Pearson, architect of the new Parliament Buildings, is prepar- ing to go overseas shortly after the commencement of the Parliamentary session to secure stone for the in- terior of the Memorial Chamber, in which is to be placed a volume ton- ta.ining the navies of every soldier who belonged to the Canadian army* during the great war. This stone is to be donated by France, While overseas Mr. Pearson will also negotiate for the securing of a carillon or chime of bells for the big. central tower, of which the base has now• been completed. In spite of strikes among interior decorators work has greatly advanced in both chambers and the buildings; will have a vastly improved aspect at the end of January, when Parliamentt assembles. F 1N RS START WORK IN ENGLAND BY FANG LIVERPOOL Twelve Cg,ton Warehouses a strayed -Policemen trying nd Several Timber Yards De - to Interfere Are Fired At. London, Nov. 28. ---The firing of twelve warehouses and six timber yards ,in Liverpool last night, the flames raging until a late hour to- day and causing an enormous de- struction, means that the Sinn Fein has opened its campaign of vounter- reprisals in England. Despite the statements of Sir Hamar Greenwood, Chief Secretary for Ireland, in the House of Com- mons that plots of outrages bad been &Revered in Lancashire, the public was thrilled with surprise when the Sunday editions announced that whole - tale incendiarism had begun, under streamer heads reading, "Sinn Fein opens war in England." A fierce red glow hung all night long over the north and south enc1 of Liverpool and the suburb of Bootle as fire fighters from the city and neighboring towns battled desperate- ly with a chain of conflagrations. The fires were started ,systernatioal- ly between eight and nine o'clock et night, and reports of fresh outbreaks a fine readied the lire department Avery Saw minutes, The arson gangs, four or five strong, worked methodic- ally with special implements with Which the strongest "bolts and loOkS were forced and the various premises saturated with gasoline. In each case one man acted as sentry while another forced an entry, the remaining two or three starting the blaze. Most of the pronuses which were attacked were gutted, in - eluding great cotton warehouses six floors high, where the property dam- age ran into millions of dollars. The incendiaries are described as athletic, well-built youths, and the authorities have no doubt they came from Ireland bent on the destruction of every industrial edifice in Lanca- shire. Two clashes occurred between the firebugs and the police, While a brigade was. fighting flames at Sperl- ing and Jordan Street a youth named Ward warned the pollee that two men were harking In the darkness near another warehouse, the lock of which they had, cut. At the appearance of the police the incendiaries bolted, ono of them firing a shot, which missed the policeman, but struek Ward above the heart, killing him instantly. The. .assassin escaped, but a civilian grap- pled with a confederate, who when arrested, it is stated, spoke with a Strong Irish brogue. He refused to ;gtvo any details as to his identity, ..

FOUNDER OF SINN FEIN ARRESTED Plot Suspected to Blow Up Westminster. A despatch from London, Saturday, says:—The Daily Express discusses persistent rumors in Ireland that there is a Sinn Fein plot to destroy the Parliament buildings in London, as well as the Irish Office and other Government buildings. There is no actual proof in official circles of such a plat, but the authori- ties are erecting barriers in Downing Street and other streets leading into Whitehall. Authoritative information was given the Associated Press on Friday that the arrests of Arthur Griffin, founder of the Sinn Fein, and John MacNeill and E. J. Duggan, Sinn Fein members of Parliament, and others,. was the prelude of a round up of a number of well-known mien either actually or be- lieved to be connected with the Irish. Republican movement. "'Some form of internment is planned, and it is in- tended to hold the lot of then; inde- finitely," the eorresiiondent was told. The Londonderry employes of the Lough Swilly Railway at Donegal have decided to seek reinstatement. This twill be the first breaking away from the Irish railwaymen, who de- cided. -some time ago not to carry arm- ed forces of the Crown or munitions. The move was foreshadowed in speeches made by the Londonderry representatives at last week's Trades Congress. Another victim of the Croke Park battle of last Sunday died in a Dub- lin hospital on Thursday, making a total of 10 deaths from the raids by. troops upon the football game. Denis Carey, of Menagh, was taken from his lodgings into the street and riddled with bullets. TRADE IN VICTORY BONDS TO BE OPEN Securities Will Be Listed on Canadian Stock Exchange. Toronto, Nov. 29.—Trading in Vic- tory bonds will henceforth be open and the Victory issues will be imme- diately listed for trading on the Ca- n.adian stock exchanges. This an- nouncement was made by Sir Henry Drayton, Minister of Finance, who ar- rived in Toronto Saturday afternoon. Site IIenry's statement is as follows: "The control of Victory bonds has ceased. The control which Sias been exercised by the Stabilization Com- mittee of the Victory Loan was made in proper performance of the promise made during the different Victory Loan campaigns, "The Dominion Government securi ties are the best in the market and no pnice fluctuations affect the qual- ity of the investment and the liability of Canada to redeem at par. Un- doubtedly in the comparatively near future the selling prices of the bonds will appreciate, "It is very much to be hoped that the people of Canada will continue to hold the securities of the best country in the world to their great personal advantage. ' . "The stabilization has served a very tuneful purpose, but it is felt in view of the fact that the methods of control so general during the war period have ,been abandoned in so many cotisztries and generally in .C,•an- ada, that the control of the Ode Of Government 'securities should also carie," A recent report of the United Grain Growers, Limited, showed a profit of $69i1,770 for the past year. ORDER -IN -COUNCIL LIMITS OIL FIELD Mackenzie River Petroleum Company Seeks Incor- poration. A despatch from Ottawa says:— Consequent on the discovery of great oil fields in the neighborhood of the Mackenzie River, the Government has passed an order -in -Council limiting themsaximurn area which may be staked to 640 acres. Notice is also given that the Mac- kenzie River Petroleum Company, Ltd., will apply for incorporation at the'next session of Parliament, The company seeks all powers in- cident to the production and storage of oil and natural gas, the marketing and transportation thereof, except by rail. Iii particular, the company will seek authority to construct a pipe line for the transportation of oil and gas from a point near the mouth of the Rat River at its junction with the Peel, a tributary of the Mackenzie, thence to .the Alaskan international boundary. Half "Reds" Opposing Wrangel Were "Yellow" A despatch from Paris says:—Ap- proximately 100,000 Chinese mercen- aries remain in the Bolshevist army. Practically half the Recl forces op- posing Gen. Wrangel in the Crimea were yellow. The Chinese force was augmented by 25,000 Koreans, In addition to Chinese troops there are many Chinese coolies who have been drafted into the Ru sign ".army of toil." Bolshevist propaganda in Europe has continually declared that Russia's Red army is a national one, and that mercenaries were not used. American Relief Reaches China A despatch from Anping says:—The first American re- lief supplies for the Chinese fanzine sufferers, sent from Manila civilians and foreign- ers in the Philippines, reached this country town in 'Western China, 200 miles from Tien- tsin, on Armistice Day even- ing. Forty-eight hours later all the 5,342 sacks of grain and clothing were stored in the Confucian Temple, which the Rev. F. J. Griffith obtained as a granary. Imperial Oil Company Files Leases A despatch from Edmonton says :—Thirty-six thousand acres of oil leases were filed in the Grand Prairie Land Of- fice on Thursday. It is under- stood that most of the filings were made on behalf of the Imperial Oil Company, the lands covered being near the British Columbia boundary. "Shish'." replied the man.

SHOW ATTRACTS CROWD Mane Exhibit of 360 Silver Foxes at International Fair. A despatch from Montreal says: --f People from all parte of Canada and the United States, including Govern- ment officials, biological experts, stne. • dents of animal lire and leaders in the fur trade, are here attending the International 'Silver Fox Exhibition, which opened at the Motordrome on c, Thursday, Even Japan, where the fox -breeding industry has received an impetus through importation of live animals from Prince Edward Island, is represented, Dr. S. Matsumnra professor of entomology at the Im- perial University, Sapporo, being here on behalf of the Government of that country. The exhibition is being held under the auspices of the Wild Life Branch of the Conservation Commission, Mr, F. C. Nunnick, an official of that de- partment, being manager. The ma- jority of the entries are from Prince Edward Island, the hone of the in- dustry, where since 1870, the year of its inception, it has grown steadily s until to -day it is recognized as a staple national resource, and one productive of much wealth. New Brunswick, Quebec and Ontario are also repre- sented, while there axe entries, too, from Michigan, Maine- and -other United States points. A total of 360 silver foxes are on exhibition, representing all strains,` a number far greater than was antics- pated when the event was first pro- jected. In individual cages, four feat square, and made of specially -welded wire, the beauty of the valuable fur - hearers is shown off to the best ad- vantage. The cages are open on a side, thus permitting a full play of light. MORE THAN 1,000 . REBELS ARRESTED Prison Camps Throughout Irem- land Reported Under Con- struction. London, Nov. 28.—Despatches from Dublin report that during the past twenty-four hours police and military raids in search ed.'suspected persons have been proceeding on an unpre- eedented scale, and at least 30 arrests have been made. Mount Joy Jail is so thronged that the disused aero- drome at Collingtown, six miles from Dublin, has been taken over for the purpose of an internment camp. The London Evening News prints a sensational statement that intern- ment camps, to which every known member of the "Irish Republican army” will be sent as prisoners of war, are being built throughout Ire- land, and adds that more than 1,000 men have been arrested dulling the past seven days. Other despatehes from Dublin to day estimate that the total number of arrests made throughout the coun- try during the past two days is close to 200. The round -up of extremists in Ire- land continues, and Dublin particular- ly is being combed for suspects be- lieved to have been caught in the cor- don drawn around the city after last Sunday morning's m.urder.s of officers. TOYS DUMPED INTO BRITAIN Germany Sends Huge Supply in Past 5 Months, A, despatch from London says: -•-- "The outcry in the House of Commons against the dumping of German manu- factures ,in Great Britain is occasion- ing concern to Germen manufacturers and traders," says a Berlin despatch to the Daily News. "Nuremberg and Thuringian newspapers reflect the anxiety felt in those great toy -mak- ing centres at a possible Ioss of the important British market. "Belief is expressed, however, er, that no legislation is likely to affeet the present Christmas trade, and that than superior quality of German toys wilt always command a world-wide sale. It is claimed, marcover, that in. spite of great and highly costly* efforts on their part British manufacturers have failed to discover such secrets of the German toy trade as those involved in making realistic dolls' eyes, dolls' cheeks and reliable sneehaniesl toys. "Reports frim ''har2Lm ig that hundreds o$ .families working at horse are busy day and night to need; orders. for dolls and other toys which have reached them chiefly from abroad, Toys to the approximate value of 7.30,000,000 marks lkave been sent to England during the last five months.
