Exeter Times, 1906-04-12, Page 2RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT R011TEO Elections Held in the Stronghold of the Bureaucracy. tOVERNMENT BEATEN. Tho London Tinges' correspondent at Sl. Petersburg cabled on Wednesday as follows Nothing is left to complete the rout of the Government parties in the great stronghold of bureaucracy, where three- fifths of .the voters are in the employ- ment of the Government, and the elec- tion was fixed for their pay day. The official organ published lists of those put forward by moderates and reac- tionries, and carefully ignored the Constitutional Democratic candidates. Everyeseffort was made to discourage and disorganize the opposition by threats or imprisonment. file right of meeting remained a dead letter till within a few days of the election, yet, In spite of all these adverse conditions, Me Government has been hopelessly beaten, and the Constitutional Demo- crats have carrt d every electoral seat, even In wards where omcial and com- mercial elements prdominated, and where every nerve had been strained to secure votes. Persistent rulnors of projected Jewish massacres at Easter are traceable to reactionary sources. It is more than doubtful if the local authorities would again dare permit atrocities, after the official publication of Ministerial circu- lars warning them to take precautions, and especially after the opposition vic- tories at the elections, the Constitutional Democrats being committed to de- manding punishment of the guilty officials as soon as the Donnie meets. RUSSIA WANTS $200,000,000 A despatch from St. Petersburg says • Russia hos onened preliminary nego- tiations in Paris for a large foreign loan of at least 8200.000,000, and desires more If possible.

TROOPS KILL PEASANTS A despatch from Berlin says: Rus- sian troops had a battle with peasants A MONSTER'S CRIME. Horrible Death of a Five-year-old Girl at Montreal. A Montreal despatch says : In the finding of the body of Ida May Ahern, a child of five years, lying naked and lifeless in a lhteket at Cote St. Paul on Thursday morning, there carte to Tight so piteous and so fiendish a crime that the whole island of Montreal is shocked. The horror of it is intensified by the thought that a being of such vicious tendencies could have passed through the community almost unnoticed until he had left the unmistakable marks of his unutterable brutality. Not only had the little girl been lured away from her homeward course atter school and sub- jected to a horrible shame, but blue linger prints in the tender flesh show that the monster had not stopped at any ordinary violence. All the clothing, save shoes and stockings, was stripped away and thrown into the basement of a Church within a few hundred yards of the secluded spot where the outrage took place. A young woman saw the man climbing over the fence leading from the wood with the clothes in his setas, and several others saw him with the child, and are able to furnish a valuable description of his appearance. Ida has been missing since Tuesday afternoon. having failed to reform from school, and when her clothing was found In the church, the distracted mother klenlili.,l it. That fact in a measure pre- pared the parent for the terrible realit,, she was soon In face. From the black- ness of This revolting crime n single ray of mitigation wars, Ind that is the evidence that th(1 ynurderer was inloxi- cnled nt the time, and therefore not the new tower, which the Gov fully cognizant of the terrible decd he has been building in the teeth -ea was cnmmilling. Deleelives from both the Prnvincinl and city stiffs have been detailed to work on Ilse case.

Hughes was told by Sir Frederick Borden that the cost to the country of the riots at Sydney, C.B., a year nor. had been $7,801, of which only $2,51111 tlud been paid by the municipality up to date, and the Department of Justice had been instructed on April 27, 190:., to lake legal proceedings against the municipality. There were three muni- cipalities similarly in arrears for the service of troops to suppress riots. PROVINCIAL REPRESENTATION. Mr. Hughes (King's) moved a resolu- tion That an address be presented to the King, praying for the submission to the Imperial Parliament of an amendment to the British Nath America Acf, pre- venting any province of the Dominion from ever having fewer representatives in Parliament than it was given when it entered Confederation.

Mr. Foster asked Mr. i'il.:palrick to r.lain the intention of the clause refer- ring to 111.' continuance of trainloads -f cattle to their point of destination on n Sunday. What was meant by the "des- tination"? if it meant the next place where the train could be naturally held up, it would be very objectionable. but if it meant the ocean point, no objection could be foud. Mr. Fitzpatrick said the intention was that the point of destination should be the destination of the goods or cat- tle. not the destination of Ilse train. Confusion might result from This clause, end it would be the duty of the Govern- ment to make the point absolutely 1 1:)r. Another difficulty might prise regard- ing the arrival nt peri.elulble fruit at ils eoinl of destination on a Sunday. fruit could not be left on the siding nil day long. Ile would Invite the attention of nig the members of the !louse to these points. They should have reasonable measure, such n nlensut'( ns would have l.ehind it the farce of public opinion, rind not a pleasure which the judges and other people might consider it their Lusiness to endeavor to evade.

Mr. Smith, of Peel, moved the second reading of his amendment to the Fran- chise Act, which pro%ides that unmar- ried women and widows, who are en- titled to vote in unuucipul electIous, shall have votes for the Legislative As- 85.ubl • -ub . u same conditions y, a � (.l t the t. t welch govern male 'ulcer. Ile hoped that Ilse (louse would give the measure a liberul fold gallant support. SALES OF CHATTELS. Mr. Lucas' bill to amend the Act re- specting condtionul sales of chattels was warmly supported by the members representing fanning curnnumilies. out the Attorney -General could not give it his sanction, as in Its present shape it would legalize violations of certain con- tracts. The Clain feature of the bill is that lien notes, lime receipts, contracts fur conditional sole of chattels or other contracts should he null and void when they contained provisos, conditions or stipulations that actions or suits in con- nection with (hent should be tried in any particular place. Mr. Hoyle suggested that the courts should be authorized to fix the place of trial and this suggestion will lee discussed when the measure comes be- fore the Legal Committee. MEMBERS 'i'OO DILATORY. Mr. Pratt was not prepared to move the second reading of his bill to regu- late proprietary and patent medicines, and the Premier took advantage of 11(0 fact to read the members n brief lec- ture for their dilatoriness. There were some bills, he said, which had been en the order paper for Ove weeks, though there was not the shadow of an excuse for the delay. The Government, he declared was doing all it could to expedite business and he thought the members should lend all the assistance They could. ENQUIRY OF MINISTRY, Mr. Gamey - is the Government aware that Mr. Joseph Phillips, the pre- sident of the Toronto Life, is a prisoner on the charge of misusing funds? That the two other directors of the company :ave discredited themselves by their evidence at his trial? Also the clerks Lave shown an absent-mindedness and forgetfulness quite incompatible with conpclenl work? ilas the Government thought of appointing some reliable, competent person to take charge of the company's affairs? ESTIMATES PASSED. Consideration of the estimates was resumed, a large number of votes being passed, including a total of 8112,395 for fublle buildings, $95.260 for public works, $212.410 for colouizalion roods, fi 427,525 charges on Crown lands, $160.- 172 for miscell: neous. 4 HAZING IN BRITISH AR11Y.
