A Passenger Describes it and Tells of The Sudden
Orders That Came Too Late.
A despatch froze Quebec says
We pioleed up the pilot off Father
Paint en Wednesday, asya a reason -
ger on the Royal George. Quaran-
tine and medical men arrived about
four o'clock, end then the passers
gess went below to finish prepare,
*ions for disembarking. A slight
haze hung aver the river, but lights
were plainly visible and full speed
was maintained. We had one of
the oldest pilots on board, and no
one thought of danger. Suddenly
those on the upper deck heard a
sharp ory : "Hard a -pot," from
one voice, and in the sante breath,
"Hard astern" from the pilot. A
aiuddean cheek, followed by a
wrenching, grinding, bumping mo-
tion, told of the futility of both or-
ders, The Royal George was hard
and fast on the rocks of the Isle of
Orleans, about eight miles below
Quebec, apparently held from stem
to stern.
The reversed engines made no im-
pression. There was no shadow of
disorder or confusion on board,
The officers want about their duties
quietly, and it was difficult to be -
Beim that a shipwreck had occur-
red. Unquestionably the pilot
must have mistaken a bright light
on the Island for one of his lights
and simply laid the ship's bow on
across the Rocks. The boats were
swung outside as a precautionary
Measure, and then the order came
to prepare to transfer to tugs.
Fearful of Listing.
The tide was at full when she
struck. As it began to recede there
was possibility of serious listing and
a possible catastrophe. In view of
this danger and the rapidly reced-
ing tide, the coming of the tugs
seemed long delayed. Finally about
lO p.m., the old ferryboat North
came alongside. But the tide was
out, and she eauld not transfer.
About midnight she stood by and
about half the passengers were
placed on board..
On the way up the river another
chip -wreak ,and tragedy was averted
by a hairsbreadth; There is ae.
occasion to discuss that event, The
French-Canadian, aa a skilful navi-
gating officer on a night as black as
Egypt, is Dot impressive. There
were shouts of ."Sans Vapare" from
the bride that did not impress a
dull engineer. The ferry was old
and shaky, and the sleet and rain
beat in or dropped through the por-
ous sailcloth covering, and through
it all women and children huddled
without •semblance of fear or panne
with no murmur, no cries, and no
visible dread, ea -re the drawn face
and the tears of a mother hastily
concealed, ae she held her babe and
drew her little bay to her side,
The Women Were Brave.
The British soldier and the Bri-
tish sailor have been extolled. I
cannot express my admiration for
'the British woman, She is the very
essence of self-oentrol in an emer-
gency and a model of discipline.
Some of the officers feared a crush
when the dock was reached. The
old ferry not only reached the dock,
she crashed into it, and lurohed
back. Two or three women laughed
quietly and held their babes closer.
Old men swore quietly at the hap-
hazard oarelessneas with an over-
Ioaded rotten :scow. Then the pas-
sengers filed out and the ferry
started back for the four hundred
who stopped behind without a com-
plaint to 'spend a sleepless night on
a stranded vessel. Apparently the
only excited person in evidence was
a portly Yankee, who took care to
be first an shore, and he was palpa-
hly and ostentatiously first down
the gang plank to the ferry, His
trembling limbs and nerve -twisted
features only emphasized the worth
of a British woman and a British
mother.
NAZIM'S M
The Victorious
IS CRUSIIHJ
Bulgars Pursuing the Broken and
Demoralized Turks
A despatch from Sofia sayss:
The Turkish array commanded by
Nazim Pasha was completely crush-
ed in the great battle of the last
two days on the Serai Tchorlu line.
According to the semi-official Mir,
the Turks lost in killed and wound-
ed more than double the losses at
Lule Burgas. The Bulgarians are
now pursuing the defeated enemy.
The sanguinary character of the
recent engagements, which it is re-
ported have involved losses to the
Turks of 40,000 men, has been due
to the extraordinary energy of the
Bulgarian attack. The view of the
Bulgarian staff is that the Turks
are so demoralized that frontal at-
tacks may be undertaken even
e gaineit the strongest positions
without superior forces, and the
Turkish shortage of artillery and
ammunition has contributed to the
success of these taction.
The Bulgarian vanguard, it is
said, has reached Lake Derkas, one
detachment passing between the
lake and the sea. Another line of
the Bulgarian advance is reported
to be attacking the forte in front
of the town of Tchatalja, while still
another column, which marched
down the main road from Tchorlu

to Silivri, is now advancing to Bo-
gados for the purpose of forcing a
passage along the coast of the sea
of Marmora.
These are, however, only flying
columns. The main body has not
yet commenced the attack on Tch-
atalja fortifications.
According to statements made by
prominent public men in Sofia,
Bulgaria will reject mediation un-
til Tchatalja has been captured and
Adrianople has fallen, and although
it is said that entry into Constan-
tinople is no part of the allies
plans, Bulgaria will not listen to
the suggestion of peace negotia-
tions unless Turkey gives an un-
dertaking to bringno more rein-
forcements from Asia.
Tchaialdja's Forts Taken.
A despatch from London says :
The victorious Bulgarians made one
swift, vicious assault on the fortifi-
cations of Tchataldja on Thursday,
and won them. The disheartened
Turks are now scattered over the
25 -mile district between those cap-
tured lines of defence and Constan-
tinople, and the Bulgarians are
pursuing them, capturing some and
killing others. There is now noth-
ing save these disorganized, fleeing
bands of Turks to stop the Bulgar-
ians in their conquering maroh to-
wards the capital of their enemies.
Bulgarians Occupy Drama.
The Bulgarians occupied the town
of Drama on November 5. The
Turkish troops in that region have
been scattered in all directions.
Most of them have surrendered
their arms and are returning to
their homes. Other remnants are
so deinaralized that the peasants
terrorize them and oompel them to
disarm and flee. Throughout the
district the inhabitants have warm-
ly welcomed the Bulgarians, and
the Bulgarian administration has
been established.
It is officially announced that the
port of Rodosto, on the Sea of Mar -
mora, and the city of Visa, to the
southeast of Adrianople, were oc-
cupied by the Bulgarian troops on
November 5.
Adrianople in Rebellion.
A despatch from London says:
Adrianople is reported to be in a
state of rebellion. There is word
from that beleaguered city that the
Turkish soldiers are flatly refusing
to fight any longer, and have to
be driven to the defences at the
point of the sword. That city is ap-
parently to be starved into surren-
der. The Bulgarian commanders
realize that its fall is but a mat-
ter of days, and that they cannot
afford to lose any more men in an
assault. They are contenting them-
selves with sweeping down on Turk-
ish wagon trains and isolating
Adrianople from the world.

was shot through the head with a
bullet from a revolver, and died
on Sunday. His mother had occa-
sion to leave the children alone in
the house, and had barely left the
house when the children went into
the room of an uncle, who lived
with the family, and, finding the
keys of his trunk, opened it and
found a revolver. There were
three children in the room at the
time, the oldest being a boy of
twelve. The children allreached
for the revolver, and the older boy
realizing the danger of the weapon,
tried to take it away from the
younger children, when his finger
closed on the self -cocking trigger
and the explosion fpllowed.

TORONTO CORRESPONDENCE
,INTERESTING GOSSIP FROM ONTARIO'S
CAPITAL.
Sir George W. Ross at the. Canadian Club
-Senator Jaffray and Sir Maokenzle
Bowell-The New Judge -Real Estate.
Sir George W. Rose does not often wake
public addresses now, but whenever he
does he is sure of a large audience and
rapt attendance. Nor does he ever disap-
point expectations either in the matter of
his addresses or the manner of his deliv-
ery, for he takes rank as one of the first,
iR ,not -the very first. orator that thie
Provinoe has produced.'
The general esteem in which the former
Premier is held was expressed on the
occasion of his addressing the Canadian
Club the other day by Mr. T. A. Russell,
the presiding officer. It was not every
one, he said, who could retire from high
office to private life, and particularly to
the Senate, and could retain such a grip
on affairs and such influence with the
public. '
Sir George's subject was "The Panama.
Canal." He briefly traced its history and
then referred at length to the various
treaty obligations in • connection there-
with entered into by the United States,
demonstrating clearly that up to the
present year the United States, by the
utteranees of its public men and by an -
equivocal language in the most .solemn
treaties. has again and again declared
that the Canal is to be open on equal
terms to the subjedts and citizens of all
nations, and that there should be no dia-
orimination against any. The action of
the States now in seeking to exempt its
own vessels from the terms of this treaty
was inexplicable.
A Masterly-, Address.
Sir George's marshalling of the faots
was masterly. It is the first time any
Canadian of prominence has grappled
with the issue in publics, and Sir George
did so fearlessly and forcefully: The
address will. no doubt, furnish the cue
for others. As to future action, Sir George
advocated, first, vigorous protests from
Parliament, second, an appeal to the
Hague,, and, lastly, if Unole Sam refused
to submit to the Hague, it was hinted
that perhaps some form of retaliation
might be made eeffctive. Sir George said
he was opposed to retaliation except as
a last resort.
The occasion was one of the high spots
in the Canadian Club history. The lunch-
eon hall was filled tb overflowing,_ and
though Sir George `talked across • the
table," than is, from his seat, bis voice
carried to every part of the room and
gave not the slightest indication of his
seventy-one years or the thousand political
battles he has braved.
Senator Jaffray of the Globe.
Beside Siy George sat a brother Senator,
Hon. Robert Jaffray, who as another mem-
ber of the• old guard, furnishes another
example of the remarkable vitality of
Canadian public men. Senator Jaffray is
over 80 years old, but be is literally as
lively as a cricket.
Indeed, during the last ten years Sena-
tor Jaffray has been much more in the
Public eye than he was in earlier years.
He takes the keenest personal interest
in all, publio affairs, rarely missing any
address at the Canadian Club, or else-
where, for that matter, wbere any issue
affecting Canada is under discussion.
It is perhaps not generally known that
Senator Jaffray is the one man more than
any other who stands for the Globe news-
paper, and whom that paper represents.
Hie nominal connection with it is that of
President of the company. There are, of
course, other directors and shareholders
and a number of editors, but the man
who is the court of last appeal on any
matter of detail or in matters of large
general policy is the Senator.
Formerly, his attachment to the Globe
was much ;more slender than it is now.
He had other business interests -he has
been in business in Toronto for sixty
years -and the Globe was but a side line
with him. He was content to leave its
conduct to editors and department heads.
But in recent years it has become more
and more the engrossing object of his life
and not a day passes that he does not
spend several hours in its various depart-
ments.
A Boy at Ninety Years.
But in point of years the grand old man
of Ontario public life is Sir Mackenzie
Bowell. At the time this is written be is
lying in the Wellesiev private hospital in
this city recovering from the effects of a
fall. His physicians have not noted any
disquieting symptoms, but he is so old
they are almost afraid to say he will get
altogether well again. If he lives until
December 27 next ghe will be ninety years
old. When he met with his recent accident
he was on his way home to Belleville
from a trip to the l'aoiho Coast. And
when he treacle he asks for 110 special
conceseiona in the way of luxury either.
Though members of different political
parties, Senator Jaffray and Sir Mac-
kenzie Bowel' are quite cronies. A year
or two ago 'together they accompanied a
press party to New Ontario and eleotri.
fled every one by the activity and energy
they showed in going down mines and
climbing through , the wilderness.
Canadian politics will furnish no more
etriking romance than that of Sir Mac-
kenzie, who rose from printer's devil to.
be Premier of Canada, quite equalling
Lincoln's from log cabin to White Honse.
Mr, Justice Hodgins.
The appointment of Frank E. Hodgins
to a judgeship in. the Court of Appeal is
regarded by Liberals and Conservatives
alike as an excellent appointment. As a

Net eo unanimous ie the apprevo,l of the
elevation to a Judgeship of Mr. James
Leitch, formerly of Cornwall, rhe eriti-

"Welcome, Little Sister,"
Just when most people were reconciling
themaelvea to indefinite delay in the mat-
terf of the annexation to the city of the
town of North Toronto,owing to the stub-
born opposition of a section of that mu.
nicipality's citizensand threatened legal
entanglements, along came a peremptory
order of the Ontario Municipal Board and
annexation is practically an accomplished
Mot. Thereby, Toronto adds at one stroke
a mutilation of 6,000 souls, and an area
of 2,400 acres, ineluding large tracts of
vacant lands. The annexation opens the
way for a more synunetricai development
of the city's territory, for the new area
is much nearer to the corner of Sing and
Yonge streets than are the outlying east-
ern and western sections. It lies along
Yonge street, up "over the hill," and
where it has not been spoiled by cemeteries
or inferior buildings, lends itself to devel-
opment as a high class residential. dis-
trict. Indeed, it may interest those who
are inolined to take a "flyer in Toronto.

probabilities are that North Toronto sub-
divisions are likely to 'be the next to be
built up. After them will probably come

Real Estate Still. Booms.
One hears constantly the prediction
that the MAW= in real estate must
come soon. But as yet there is no sign
of the break. Perhaps it is the foot that
so many persona are suspicious of a break
and are consequently cautious that la
permitting the period of advancing prices
to continue so long.
The chief problem in connection with
North Toronto's annexatioe will arise out
of the street railway service. The town is
served by the Metropolitan Railway
branch of the York Radial, which. is con-
trolled by the Mackenzie interests, who
also own the Toronto Street Railway, but
it is a different gauge, so that inter-
change of cars is impossible. North To-
ronto passengers coming into the city have
therefore to transfer and have also, as
yet, to nay two fares. Needless to say,
the railway people will keep on making
them pay two fares as long as they can.
71 Sunday Gar Agitation.
The Metropolitan cannot run cars on
Sunday. so that that section of the city
is going to remain "dead" on that day
unless and nntfl a . special Act of the Leg-
islature is passed, changing the present
Iaw. It is expected that this will not be
accomplished without opposition, though
there are few people in Toronto now who
do not use the street cars on Sunday, no
matter how much they were opposed to
them when •they were inaugurated.
