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

tiations in Paris for a large foreign loan
of at least 8200.000,000, and desires more

she Is negotiating is composed of Ger-

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

SUI'I'IRESSiNG RIOTS.
Col. 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.
MILITARY BANDS.
Col. Hughes was informed by Sir
Frederick Borden that the Government
regulations forbade any military band
in uniform to lake pert in a de►nonslra-
hon or procession for party or politi-
ca: purposes.

Mr. Macdonell was told by Mr. Emer-
son that the food supplies for the sur-
vey parties on the Ontario section of the
Transcontinental Railway were not pur-
chased by the Government, but by the
Transcontinental Railway Commission,
through a purchasing agent who ob-
tained Them at most favorable whole-
sale rale prices. No conplaints had leen
received regarding the supplies. 'fhe
purchasing agent examined the supplies
and tested Them before shipment and
they were also examined by the com-
mission's agents nt the points of destin-
ation.
LORDS DAY 1311.1..
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.

ONTARIO LEGISLATURE
WHAT TiIE 1.1:GIST ATURE AT TO-
ItU\70 IS DOING.
WOMAN SUI1IIAGE.
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.-

Performed.
1t is not more than Ove years alilre a
physician of Vienna hit upon Vie idea of
injecting parafline into lite flesh as a
substitute for tine fibrous tissue In the

lar, but previous to this a number of
remnrknhle operations were performed.
The physician published the history of
more than thirty successful cases Ircat-
ec in this way, in which "clefts and
fistulae were narrowed, cavities o
and there were filled up, small g .
marks were taken out, sunken noses
were remodelled, the falling In of the
cheek after removal of the upper law
was repaired and n nerve divided for
the relief of neuralgia was prevented
from grooving together again."
