A Cool Reception.
Tokid, Oct. 16, 4.30 p.m,—Baron tdo-
muted the Foreign Minister, who aeted
as chief peace plenipotentiary for Ja-
pan at Portsmouth, N. II., arrived here
to -day from Vancouver. His reception
at the railway station was not enthusias-
tic, those present being principally Gov-
ernment dignitaries. The streets -were
strongly guarded by troops, • police and
gendarmes. The Baron drove to. the
palace in an hnperial carriage. .
Soldiers Must Not Object.
Tokio, Oct. 10, 3 pau.—Mr. Teraraut-
chi, Minister of War, has issued an order
instructing the Japanese army in the
field to abstain from criticising the
terms of peace, on the ground that the
declarations of war are entirely the oat -
come of sovereign power. His order
forbids the criticiem of either ,subject,
especially by those engaged in military
service. He advises the soldiers to util-
ize the opportunities of peace after the
•disabondonment of their regimes ts by
engaging in their respective occupation,
-always holding themselves lir readiness
to join the colors at the Empeor's coed
maned.
GOW SHOT
TOMMY HILL
Verdict of the Jury in the Dummer
Manslaughter Case.
Peterboro report: Strong local feel-
ing in his favor notwithstanding, .Chas.
Gow has been convicted by twelve of his
fellow -citizens of the manslaughter of
little Tommy Hill, in Dummer township,
on the night of August 24 last. That
public feeling ran high in the prisoner's
favor. was evidenced by the emphasis
with which counsel and Judge urged. the
jury to discard outside prejudices anl
their own personal feelings, and to ar-
rive at a •decision upon the merits of the
case.
"We find the prisoner guilty, but with
a strong recommendation to mercy."
With this verdict the jury who had been
trying Gow at the Assizes here returned
into court this afternoon after deliber-
ating in private for two hours and a
half.
There was no demonstration of any
kind; indeed everyove who had listeeel
impartially to the evidence could. have
come to no other conclusion than that
a. decision adverse to the prisoner was
inevitable. , Although -mention had been
made by some of the witnesses of a shot
said to have been fired from the Inn
homestead, there was no doubt in the
mind of anyone that this shot was pure-
ly mythical, and that the bullet which
launched the deceased boy into etereity,
came from the rifle in Gow's possession
on the night Of the tragedy.
The morning's proceedings were mark-
ed by some brilliant orntorical efforts on
the part of both the prosecuting mid
defending counsel'. Mr, D. Al, Denuis-
toun, who has defended Clow with con-
summate ability from beginning to end,
made a most eloquent and convincing
address when tbe proceedings openel this
morning.
He reminded the jury of the doubts in
the case. "The Crown proeccutor," he
said, "in his opening statement, celled
upon you to do your duty to your God,
eel to your country. I join with him
in that wish, but I would remind you of
one other point—you are to do your
duty to your God, to your country and
to the prisoner, at the bar, or your
with says that you shall have him in
charge and a true deliverance make, cue
cordieg to the evidence, so help you
God."
E. Meredith, K. C., followed in behalf
of the Crown, delivering a strong ca -
dress.
"The dead, bey," he said, "calls upon
you as men, having the feelings of men,
having the feelings of parents, to -avenge
his death, Let it not be said in Peter -
bore' that hie death goes unavenged.
Was it not trifling with the safety of
the public when the Coroner's jury let
this man go- •t"
The proseentine counsel finally vigor-
ously denonneed the fiction of the de-
fenee in bringing up at the trial the •faet
that the dead boy's father had served a
senteeet in the penitentiary thirty years
ago, 11111, senior, was visibly affected
while. Mr. Meredith was making pathetic
references to the dead boy.
Justice Street's charge to the ;ivy
occupied -35 minutes. He gave a lair
and impartial review of the case, aed
emphasized alt strong points on both
Sides. Tile trend of his charge seemed
to be that the theory of the proseert-
Mu, to the effect that it was a bullet
from tlow's rifle that killed the boy,
was tlte eared one,

NEAR HAMILTON
( From the Hamilton Times.)
With a bullet wound, behind. her right
ear, a handkerchief stuffeil into her
mouth, her top garments deranged and a
hole burnt through her dress, the dead
body of a woman was found by boys
who were out nutting on the mountain
late yesterday afternoon. It was partly
covered with leaves and thorn brush,
and Apparently an attempt had been
made to burn this covering.
Everything points to deliberate mur-
der. The woman was seen, in company
with a man, on Monday morning, be-
tween 10 and 11 o'clock, and it is sup-
posed they walked from this city. The
spot where the body was found is a
very lonely one, and the bush around
is quite thick. There are thicker
patches of bush not far away. The man
and woman were seen standing near
Neff's corner, east of James Marshall's
house and lime kiln. They seemed to
have quite a long discussion, and, from
appearances, were evidently discussing
which way they would. go. As far as
is known that was the last seen of the
woman alive, and the man has not been
'found as yet.
BRIBERY CHARGES.
DID TRONOTO ALDERMEN ACCEPT
BRIBE FOR VOTE?
Toronto, Oct. 10.—The City Council
will meet this afternoon at 3 o'clock to
consider the report of the Board of Con-
trol forwarding the affidavits which
were placed in the hands of the Mayor
by Mr. J. A. Paterson, K.C., in reference
to the alleged bribery of an alderman
in the Puddy matter. There is little
doubt that the council will ask tho coun-
ty judge to conduct a judicial invatiga-
tion into the - whole question of the
Puddy Bros.' permit to erect and operate
a slaughter -house on Paton road. Judge
Winchester,if instructed, will probably
commence the inquiry on Thursday. Ald.
Lynd, whose name is mentioned in affi-
davits, has denied the charges and de-
manded an investigation; George Elliott,
who it is alleged, handled the money,
also enters a denial, and expresses
lsit-
sell as confident that, council will do
what is obviously right in the matter.
Ramsden admits that he exer-
cised his rights as a private citizen in
advocating the cause of the Pridny
Bros., and emphatically denies that lie
did any that was not perfectly legiti-
mate.

TO BAR HARVESTER TRUST.
New Zealand Workmen Demand a High
Duty.
London, Oct. 15.—The Times says:
At Wellington, Nese Zealand, twelve
thousand workers have petitioned Par-
liament to prevent the American Har-
vester trust from exploiting New Zea-
land, as its operations, not, being sub-
jected to labor laws similar to those
of New Zealand, would be detrimental
to the workers of the colony. The pe-
titioners demand that a forty per cent.
duty be imposed on all goods- sold by
the trust, which can be manufactured
here, the objeet being to maintain the
high standard of living New Zealand-
ers enjoy. The implement mannfactur-
ers also ask prohibitive duties. The
Government apparently fearing the hos-
tility of the farmers, have not proud -s-
od anything definite, and as opposition
is expected from the eountry members
legislation at the present parliament is
doubtful.
Trust's New Move.
Melbourne, Oet. 15.—T1ie American
Harvester Trust has initcle a counter
move to the action of Sir William
Lyne, Minister of Trade and Customs,
itt raising the invoice value of hdr-
vesters from 438 to 465. The company
- has reduced the retail price to £70,
which enables purchasers to save
123 per mit. on each machine. The
Age says it is probable that further
reductions wilt be mule until the Aus-
tratiane makers are erushed.
Similar teaks are being followed in
New Zealand where Prime Minister
Seddon has referred the matter to a
special conference of employers and
employee to be held in November.

Newton, Mass., Oct. 11—Senator Geo,
T. Fulford, of Brockville, Oat, died at
the Newton Hospital this afternoon as
the result of injuries received in an
automobile accident one week ago to-
day.
Senator Fulford's injuries, whieh were
at first regarded as slight, developed in-
to paralysis of the vital organs, aml
for the past two days there was no
hope of his recovery. The accident oe-
curred OR Walnut street, in this city,
on Sunday afternoon last, the automo-
bile in which Senator Milford. was rid-
ing with Wm, T. Hanson, of Schenec-
tady, N. Y., coming in collision with an
electric car. The entire party, Secluding
the chauffeur, LOWS Zeriax, of Albany,
.N.Y., were thrown out. Zeriax died'
three days later, but Hanson escaped
without serious injury. Although
some what dazed, by the accident: Sena-
tor Fulford did not appear to be ser-
iously injured, but was nevertheless
taken to the hospital in another auto-
mobile, in which were riding his wife
and Mrs. Hanson. The body will be
taken to Canada to -morrow.
The News at Brockville.
Brockville, Oct. 15.—The town is
plunged in deep grief to -night on re-
ceipt of the despatch announcing the
passing away of Senator Fulford at
Newton, Mass. Bulletins have been re-
ceived periodically every day since his
condition became serious, and not once
des
abroad, and his Summera on the St. Law.
rence, where very often on his yacht he
entertained not only his friends, but Ills-
tingueshed guests from all tart of th
world, and in this way he did much to
bring the beauties of the Thousand Is-
lands to the attention of people, in all
countries, The members of bis family
were with him at the end, and the re, -
Mains will be brought here for inter-
ment, accompanied. by his son-in-law, A.
C. lIaray, Dr. Cornell and. W. T. Ranson,
who was with him at the time of the
eccident. The funeral will take place
here on Wednesday at 3 pan.
Senator Fulford'e advice in business
nutters was frequently sought, and he
was a director of the Toronto General
Trusts Corporation, the Ogilvie Flour
Mills Co., the Frost and 'Wood Co. -and
the James Smart Manufacturing Co.
His attendance at the meetings of these
boards, as well as his own business af-
fairs, gave him a wide acquaintance with
the leading men of Canada, many of
whom evinced their concern for his wet -
fare by enquiries since his accident. As
press despatch from Brockville esti-
mates the value of the late Semator's
estate at $5,000,000, It is interesting to
note that much of the care of his bug -
nese lately has devolved upon hie son-in-
law, Mr. Arthur 0. Hardy, who is it eon
of the late Hon, A. S. Hardy.
The Senator renewed friendships in
reroute only two meths ago, when
touring the lakes on his yacht. Ths was
also devoted. to automobiling, and had
travelled in many distant parts of the

THAT HUGE WAVE
TORONTO
MAN ON DISASTER TO
CAMPANIA.
New York Agent of Cunard Line Also
Tells His Experiences—There Were
Two Immense Waves—The Ladies
Behaved Splendidly, and so Did the
Ship.
New York, Oct. 16.—EXplaining the
disaster to the Campania last Wednes-
day, Mr. Sanford, New York agent of
the Cunard Line, said., "The winds on
Wednesday, the day of the accident,
ranged front fresh to strong gale to hur
rieane, blowing at last about sixty-five
miles an hour. The sea, just at the time
of the accident, was breaking on the
prow of the ship from two directions,
from the southeast and from the north-
northeast.
"This was due to the fact that the
wind had veered during the day, and
tile waves were still rolling in the di-
rection in which it had started, while
also coming in the direction of the wind
as it was at the moment. The result
cif this convergence was that the ship,
from the impact on one side, listed
heavily to port, and it was at this mo-
ment that the wave• bore clown on her,
while she was 'listed, and swept the
deck. If the Campania had not been
leaning so fox to port the wave -could
not have washed over her so high.
"It was over the main promenade
deck that it broke. The -deck is cov-
ered for about half its length. To pro-
tect the rest there is a rail, so that
the passengers may have a view of the
sea. The deck is about twenty-eight
feet above the level of the water, and
the open space is covered with netting
to prevent passengers from falling over-

unfortunate passengers were swept like
corks into the sea by the resietless, force
of the receding wave. Several others
had narrow escapes, The scene of con-
fusion which ensiled when the wave
struck the ship was indescribable. Above
the roar of the rushing waters could be
heard the shrieks of the terrified pas-
sengers and the groans of the maimed
as they lay on the deck. Intense ex-
citement prevailed throughout the ship.
Before the water had cleared away the
surgeon, steward, and crew rushed to
the rescue and assisted the injured,
who were quickly removed to the snip's

PortHole Smashed in Saloon.
When matters quieted down it little
the saloon passengers, who congratulated
themselves on their °cape, went down
to lunch in the saloon. They were not
destined to escape the wrath of the ele-
ments, for their gastronomic exercises
were rudely interrupted by another ter-
rific wave -which struck the ship, burst-
ing in a couple of ports and pouring
water into the saloon. This second in-
eursion of the sea rather upset the
equanimity of the passengers. It was
a terrible afternoon. So heavy were
the seas that none of the passengers
were allowed to go on deck, and when
the bugle sounded. -for dinner very few
of the ladies responded. They congre-
anted in the music room on the prom-
enade deck, where they were joined by
the gentlemen after dinner, and all ex-
hibited a commendable spirit of eheer-
fulness, trying to make the best of the
situation. Their troubles, however, were
not yet over, for just when everyone
was beginning to feel brighter another
mountainous wave struck the Ship and
came with such terrific force against the
music room that one of the port holes
gave way and the sea poured into the
room. During that night the ship stop-
ped a couple of times, something having
gone wrong with the steering gear, the
stoppages caused no little excitement,
which was further increased when an-
other wave came over the ship, smashing
a lifeboat and knocking an officer on
the bridge senseless. The storm lasted
O day and a night, and on Thursday, to
the great joy of all an board, the Cam-

the remainder of the voyage lovely wea-
