George Spotton
Member for N. Huron
Hero of the day
His Booming Voice and .Speed Get
Niagara Falls Bridge Bill
Through.
Last Thursday's Free Press (Lan-
don) their special correspondent
from Ottawa; had the following a-
bout North Huron's member:—
One feud which has tied up busi-
ness of the session on many occas-
ions passed away when George Pet- ,
tit, (Welland) got his bill to bul•'.d
o new bridge over the Nianara River
at Niagara Falls through third read -
In its final success be was be-
holden to George Spotton, (North
Huron) who i5 the biggest man with
the biggest voice in all Parliament.
Ot;,ioaents of the bill were ready
vial five amendments the moment
,77eeelea. tate motion he-
r 'r Mr. Smitten, whose
t .. .a CC ;elft was it') a3
Let ae Kee. J. D. Chaplin. As he
rose his voice boomed out like a
broadside from a battleship, Not
only Mr. Speaker, but every one in
the House immediately "saw" Mr.
Spotton, which act on the part of
Mr. Speaker is what gives a member
the floor. Even Mr. Chaplin was
transfixed and speechless until he
found out what the explosion was a-
bout. By that time Mr. Spotton was
well on his way in "moving that the
question be now put." Such a :not-
ion precludes further debate until
it has been voted and if it carries
the question must be put at once.
That is what happened. The Spot -
ton notion carried, 10:1 to 23, and
then the bill carried on division. The
biockuders, thanks to the arresting
volume of.;llr. Spotton's voice, were
eft with five perfectly good,an d un-
wed amendments on their desks.

11, the dethroned British monarch,
arrived at La Hogue on the coast of
T'ralice with a her'ge army supplied
by 'e French king, Louis XIV, for
the invasion of England, and the
French fleet laid in readiness to clear
the way for the passage of the in-
vader's transports theBritish
Channel.
The reigning British soverign,
William III, was in Holland, where
be was directing military operations
against the French, and his wife,
Queen Mary, was in charge of af-
fairs at home. She was well aware
that Admiral Russell, who command-
ed the British fleet, and a large
number of his officers were in sec-
ret sympathy with the cause of the
exiled James and could not be relied
upon. She therefore adopted the
bpld course of writing a letter to
Russell, in which she stated that she
had- full confidence in the honour
and loyalty of the admiral and his
officers, and requested that the letter
should be read to the whole of the
fleet.
This was accordingly done on the
15th of May and produced the ef-
fect for which the Queen had hoped,
The officers of the fleet unanimously
signed a declaration that they would
l'ae and die for the Crown, the Pro-
testant religion and the freedom of
England, which was sent to the
Queen, and Admiral Russell sailed
for the French coast with his fleet
of 63 ships.
On the 18th of May the British
fleet was augmented. by the arrival
of 36 Dutch war vessels, and on the
following day the allies encountered
Car of XXXXX Red
C. Shingles
To arrive ab t 20th
the. French fleet of 47 ships under
the command of Admiral Tourville •
oir Cape Barbeut'. Although hope-
lessly
opele is iy outnumbered Tourville im-
mediately offered battle, for he bee
?loved that three-fourths of the Bri-
tish officers were Jacobites and would
join him with their ships and men,
'hut the Quen's tactful letter had
pieced. the waverers on their honour
anti they remained loyal.
Tourvii?c soon .realized his mis-
tulcc, but he waged a fierce fight for
, several hours and then ordered his
'poet to retire and make for port. His
intention was frustrated by a heavy
fog accompanied by a dead calm,,.
v hieh caused both fleets to drift
helplessly with the tides for three
days, during which there were ea.
number of minor engagements. With
the return of the wind about half of
the French fleet succeeded in escap-
ing to St, Malo, but three large ships
•were captured and destroyed while
Itrying to reach Cherbourg.
IOn the 23rd May Tourville sailed
the rest of his fleet into the shallow
iwater off La Hogue, where they were
anchored under the guns of two forts
• and were in full view of the army
conned on the shore in readiness for
the invasion of England. The water
Iwas not deep enough for the British
i1 ships to follow, but every available
!small boat in the fleet was filled with
mien and rowed up to the sides of the
enemy's vessels. In spite of the
!heavy fire from the French ships and,
forts the British sailors, under the
1 commiand of Vice -Admiral Rooke,
• boarded the enemy's decks, drove
their crews ashore and burned
the ships to the water's edge, and
I then destroyed the numerous trans -
1 ports and ammunition boats assemb-
led for the projected invasion. Thus
at one swift stroke the naval power
' of France was completely crushed,
and once again the gallant sea -dogs
of Britain had saved their country
from the menace of invasion.
