Some time ago Parbury wit; ar•

AN ANNEXATION FIASCO.
WOODSTOCK WANTS NONE OF IT—A
. LIVELY MEETING,.
WOODSTOCK' Ont., Infarcts 29th—A
meeting in the interests of annexa-
tion with the United States was held
in the Town Hall Tuesday night.
The meeting was called by Sol White
M. P. P., but his friends wired hint
not to come as threats were freely
"tinif ffiAllat•lffe"rcwep'tinerwoIrid--be-tea
warm to be pleasant. Eight• hundred
persons were crowded into the hall,
and a more discordant, pandemone
iumistio orowd never gathered any
where.
The annexationists, however, are
by no means satisfied with the result
of Tuesday night's hub bob. They
have discarded Ernest Albert and Mr
White and will have no further deal-
ing with theirself appointed leaders.
But they say they are determined to
have an expression 'of opiniofte from
the people. One of them in town
to -day stated to The 8. R. that the
political unionists intend to organize
another meeting at once at the sante
place, but the hour would probably
be changed to the afternoon.
Mr. John J. Hall was chairman
and- his position was no sinecure.
Mr. E. A. Macdonald, of Toronto, was
the only annexationist orator present
and he tens not speaking to any great
extent—that is, the crowd wouldn't
listen to him. Tho crowd hooted
and jeered and shot firecrackers and
sang "God save the Queen'' and
waved British flags. Then some ir-
reverent youth started" Johnny get
your Gun," and the song was caught
up and completely squelched the
speaker.
Messrs, Wm. Gray and'J. L. Wil-
son, managed to get in a few words
edgewise, but the audience waxed
enthusiastic over the speech of Mr.
Garvin, who maintained Canadian
independence.
Woodstock has no use for any
such fad as annexation and the at-
tempt to foist it upon our citizens
only iniensifies their loyalty.
They- will have both local and Ont.
side speakers on the occasion
Gentlemen, give us a rest ?
STREET TALK.
A Mr. Johnston, a Toronto traveler
in town states that he came down on
trade from London Tuesday night
with Mr. Sol White, who, hearing
that he wail likely to get a "warm "
reception at Woodstock, left the ear
at Ingersoll and stopped over night
at the Atlantic House. This is the
statement made by the drummer to
several business men in' town today
and, if true, confirms the rumors that
were afloat yesterday. The anti -an•
nexationists now say Solonton is both
traitor and coward.
leNTORIAZe, Nana
An oxpect4itt world has been
waiting for a • Iuauii'esto frons Mer,

Though there are very important
qnestious in which the Protestants
and other Liberals of Ontario differ
from Mr. Mercier and his party, yet
in these matters we differ quite as
much from the party, of the Opposi•

questions onwhica we agree with you

While therefore regretting thedifi'er-

rejoice at the success which the party
Holding this view, I have much plea -

the great victory which you have just
achieved, and feel sure that it will
be used in promoting to the utmost
the substantial good (by plunder

The London, Eng.,, Times in
writing of the Behring Sea dispute
says, "These colonies are always
embroiling us in foreign disputes.
A few troubles like the Behring Sea
controversy will compel us to face
the problem, and serionely ask our
selves whether the present relations'
between the Mother Country and
the colonies are quite fair to the
British, tax payors, The colonies
tieat us as a commercial enemy."
But if the colonies to some extent
are a source of weakness to Britain,
they are also a' sourse of wealth,
and if they are so undesirable
why is it that Britain is always
grasping for more of them?
The cost of the British navy which
is probably what the Times refers
to as uufair to the British taxpayers
is not incurred for colonial purposes
but to protect' imperial commerce
and shipping Which is the mainstay
of Britain and permeates all quarters
of the globe. And yet a fair
scheme of imperial federation, fair
trade and for fiscal purposos,between
"'tilt ii Dines•'C5'ntl't1'y'a'trii'=theecolonires.
would be advantageous to all con •
earned. Commercial enemies of
the Mother Co'lntry the colonies
certainly are not,, though friendly
rivals they are to some extent. So
far as Canada is concerned tbe,
Times should know from the
recent utterances of the Canadian
government that the 'people of
Canada are not disPosed to treat
Britain as a commercial enemy,
though there is a handful of Grits
in this country who would like to do
so by Carrying out an unrestricted
reciprocity arrangement with the
United States involving free trade
with that foreign power and .0 tariff
against England double that we now
have. The recent bye•olections .are
unmistakable proof that we are not
in favor of treating the Mother
Country as n commercial enemy.
Tp do so or not to do s• was the
leading issue, and in thundering
tones the people replied in the.
negative all along the line,

after it has retched the facto ry the ut-
most delicacy of mauipuiation is requir-

much moisture is spriultled upon it for

.--Lightning causedira destructive,
fire on the farm of W. J. Quinn
near Dreaney's Corners, about
10.30 Monday night. The electric
current is believed to have struck
near ono end of one the largest
barns, but before being noticed the
flames had made very considerable
headway, and in a short time the two
barns were a mase of ruins. No
effort was made to save the building:•s
as it would have been a hopeless
task, but the neighbors who turned
out and those already on the farm
sought by. every means possible to
rescue the live stock in the buildings,
unfortunately with little success.
Only some halfdozeu horses wore
taken out, while eleven head of cat-
tle and three sheep were burned to
death. Considerable machinery
and grain was also consumed. The
flame cast a lurid reflection on the
sky, which was visible for miles
away, and caused a London police-
man to think: the fire was close at
hand. •
