Smith to -day gave out the following forecast of the number of seats which will go Liberal : Ontario, 44. quebec, 53. Nova Scotia, 13. New Brunswick, 6. Manitoba, 4. British Columbia, 5. P. E. L, 2. N. W. T., 7. Yukon, 1. Total, 135. This estimate gives a Government majority of 50. CONSERVATIVE OIITLOOK. Toronto, Nov. 1. -Advices from un- doubted .and reliable sources are that the Conservatives will carry twenty- seven seats in the Province of Ontario. With a bumper Conservative majori- ty in Ontario, and the Liberal land- slides in the Maritime Provinces, Manitoba, the Territories and British Columbia, which are most certainly corning, it can not for a moment be doubted that Laurier's majority in his own Province will not only be over- come, but Mr. Borden will be given a solid phalanx in the .House of Com- mons which will enable him to carry on the Government of the country.

London, Nov. 1. -Negotiations be- tween Great Britain and Russia look- ing to a settlement of the North Sea affair are progressing favorably, and there is not the slightest danger of any friction arising between the two Governments. The constitution of the international commission under The Hague commission is on the verge of settlement.

McDonald of the 4th con., of West Wawanosh, which took place on Sunday afternoon last, Mr. McDonald had been in poor health for the past year or more, and al, though his death was not altogether unexpected, it is none the less sorrow- ful to his family and many friends. Deceased was one of the ..early pion- eers of the section and had resided continuously on Lot 16 for nearly 50 years. He was greatly respected and enjoyed the fullest confidence and esteem of a very wide circle of friends.

There was a large and appreciative congregation, who hope to have Mr. Wilson with them, again in the near future.
