[" I Sherbrooke Daily ^ Record Established 1897 SHERBROOKE, QUE.THURSDAY MAY, 23 1912.ONE CENf PROSPECT OF ROWING HFROIC A THU TICKET.Russian Troops Killed 107 and.83.MINERS HAD GATHERED AT OFFICES TO COMPLAIN OF UNFAIR TREATMENT.Victoria, B.C., May 23.\u2014iSpecial) \u2014The details of a massacre of nearly 1 200 miners, mostly Chinese, by Rus- i sian troops at Bedaibe, Siberia, last month, were received by the steamship Awa Marti, which has arrived here from the Orient.The miners -were employed by a Russian corporation ,to work in a lime rnirw.i.They had been discontented for months because of unfair treatment [ and wretched working conditions.When a meeting of miners was call- j ed hundreds of men gathered, about j the general offices, which was occu- ; pied by Russian soldiers.The miners were about 130 yards from the building when the troops i fired, killing 107 and wounding 83, ' most of them, fatally.AI TJ VATICAN.Portugese Chamber of Deputies Decide on this Measure.Senators Take Matterup With View of Opposiog Roosevelt SENATORS REGARD NOMINATION OF EX-PRESIDENT AS INEVITABLE.¦Washington, D.C., May 23.\u2014Senator Root yesterday visited several of his colleagues on the conservative side of the Senate and sounded them about the prospects of running a third ticket in case Col.Roosevelt is nominated for President at Chicago.Those whom he saw regarded the nomination of Col.Roosevelt as inevitable.Nothing definite was arrived at in these conferences and Mr.Root himself did not seem certain whether the nomination of a third ticket would be advisable or not.Mr.Root said those with whom he talked seem to regard it as certain that the New York delegation would split in half, that Roosevelt would carry New Jersey and that a number of the states now' nominally for Taft, such as Michigan and Indiana, would swing loose and vote for Roosevelt.In the apparently certain event of the Colonel\u2019s nomination the question of running a third ticket has come decidedly to the front.There has been some talk about nominating a sort of Palmer and Buckner ticket, with a Republican at the head and a Democrat for Vice-President, but the prevailing sentiment has been in favor of running a straight Republican ticket.Should this be done there is a possibility of three Republican t ckets in the field, for friends of Senator Lafollette last night stated that he would carry his fight against Roosevelt beyond the convention and up to the election.ENGINEER.Remained at TMHe and Saved Passengers on Sorel Express.TRAIN COLLIDED WITH FREIGHT CARS AT ST.LAMBERT\u2019S, TO-DAY.St.Lambert's, Que., May 23.\u2014 (Special)\u2014The incoming Sorel ex-i press, travelling at high speed, while rounding a curve at St.Lambert\u2019s this morning, collided without warn-! ing with a string of stationary : freight cars.Engineer Poloquin heroically stuck I to his post, and was found by the passengers after the shock of the ¦ collision in his cab in a dying condition, with his hand still on the throttle.He was barely able to whisper, \u201c1 could have jumped, but tried to save the passengers.\u201d The last rites of the church were administered by a priest who was on the ill-fated train.The fireman jumped and escaped without injury.The conductor of the train was thrown against the front of a coach and sustained a broken nose.All the passengers escaped without injury.The engine was wrecked and several of the freight cars were torn to splinters.REGIMfNIS LEM FOR QUEBEC TO-NIGHT.53rd and 54 h Will Remain Ucder Canvas Us til Sunc'&y.WILL LEAVE HERE BY SPECIAL TRAIN THIS EVENING.The 53rd and ü-ith Regiments will leave for Quebec this evening, where they will remain under canvass nr-til Sunday.It is expected that nearly every member of both regiments 1 will take in the trip.The men are al- VERDICT Of ACCIDENTAL DEATH.inquest lato Death of Mr.and Mrs.John Squires Held DAILY NEWS SPECIALS FROM ALL PARTS OF THE EASTERN TOWNSHIP!

Portuguese legation at the Vatican.This is the sequel to the law for the separation of the church and the state decreed by the government in April last year.The carrying out of the separation law has

BEFUNCT FARMERS BANK.Ottawa, May 23.\u2014Sir Richard Cartwright sent the following letter to the press yesterday afternoon regarding the cv\u2019idence of W.R.Trav-cts in the Farmers Bank enquiry in Toronto : \u201cSir :\u2014I observe a very extraordinary statement in reference to an al leged conversation between myself and the late manager of the Farmers Bank.I did not know Mr.Travers, and I very much doubt if I ever had any conversation with him at all.In any case, the statement is absurd on its very face\u2014the circulation which a bank is authorized to issue has nothing whatever to do with the amount or character of the notes it holds.The circulation is based on the amount of its paid-up capital.(Signed) \u201cR.I.CARTWRIGHT.\u201d In his evidence Travers stated that he had asked Sir Richard if it were irregular for a bank to issue circulation against good farmers\u2019 notes.He alleged that Sir Richard had said : \"If you can\u2019t issue circulation against good farmers\u2019 notes, what can you issue it against ?\u201d Left Eustis Village About Nine Weeks A go TOLD MR.HARVEY HE WAS GOING TO NORTH HATLEY FOR A BOAT.A man named Edward Olson disappeared from the village of Eustis about nine weeks ago, and has not been heard of since.He left Mr.Thos.Harvey\u2019s house, where he had previously been boarding,, saying he was going up to the North Hatley dam to cut a boat out of the ice, which he had purchased from Mr.Carl Lunenburg.He was a Norwegian by birth, weighed about 180 lbs., was short and very stoutly built, of fair complexion and spoke broken English.He wore a new suit of clothes of a grayish material, low (Oxford) shoes, and rubbers.He was a trapper and hunter by occupation.It is possible he may have gone to acquaintances, in the neighborhood of Fitch Bay, Boynton or Ayer's Cliff, as he was often heard to speak of these places, and of people there, but as Mr.Harvey has no means of knowing where to write, he takes this opportunity of calling attention to his prolonged absence.MEXICAN REBELS ARE REPORTED TO HAVE BEEN DISLODGED FROM STRONGHOLD.At the Rebel Front, Rellalio, Mexico, May 23.\u2014The main columns of the rebels fortified here were uttack-j ed yesterday by the Fédérais under General Rebago.The fighting is still in progress.General Orozco came down from Jiminez to take personal i charge just before the Fédérais at-1 tacked at 4 o\u2019clock yesterday.General Salazar was in command of the ! first rebel line.Tin Federal com-I mauds of Generals Trucy Aubert, Rp-bago and Tellez and Colonels Ville and Urbania are engaged.The Federal force is estimated at 3,500 and j the rebels at 4,000 with the advantage in fortified positions being in favor of the insurrectos.While the Federal artillery poured shell after shell into the rebels posi-! tions ; rebel cavalry moved to one 1 side in a Hank movement at the same time pouring a heavy fire into the Federal columns.Casualties up to 8 o\u2019clock last night were few.There is every prospect that the battle which has so long been awaited will be decided today.There was no change in positions at nightfall.The infantry fire after dark was desultory, but that of the Federal artillery was almost continuous.FEDERALE WIN VICTORY.Torreon, Mex., May 23.\u2014A Federal Column under General Blanquet, with artillery, defeated a band of rebels near Aviles, in the State of Durango, ten miles east of Torreon, in a three-hour battle on Tuesday.Rebel losses are said to be very heavy, while the Fédérais report none killed.REPORT REBELS DISLODGED.At Federal Headquarters, Rellano, Mexico, May 23.\u2014Couriers from the ! front declare the heavy artillery fire of the Fédérais dislodged the enemy from its position late last, night, but i darkness prevented the Fédérais from following up their advantage with cavalry and infantry.General Huerta is beside a battery of artillery at the front.\t.CORONER BACHAND PRESIDED AND EXAMINED THREE WITNESSES.The inquest into the death of Mr.and Mrs.John Squires was held at No.1 Fire Station last night.Coroner Bnchand presided and the following jury was empanelled : A.Bergeron, foreman ; P.Carroll, A.Gilbert, L.Turgeon, A.Bertol and W, Champagne.Mr.William Hetherington was the first witness examined.He testified that he was a tenant in the same building as tne Squires.There were six tenants in the tenement.He had not heard any quarrel between Squires and his wife during the night.When the fire was discovered he as sisted the other tenants in removing their belongings.The alarm was sent in by M.Fortier over the telephone, as the fire alarm boxes were out of order.He had not noticed the time, but judged that it was twenty-live minutes from the time of the discovery of the fire until the arrival of the brigade.It was impossible to save Mr.and Mrs.Squires when the fire was discovered.Fireman Cameron and Couture were also examined.They stated that the alarm had been received over tin\u2019 'phone about G.IO a m.Nos l and 2 responded and arrived almost simultaneously about thtee minutes after \\ the call.When they arrived they I found all the other tenants out of the : building.A woman told Fireman Couture that the occupants of the third storey were still in the building and he tried to reach them by way of the window, hut found this impossible.In the opinion of the firemen it would have been impossible to save 1 the victims even if the brigade had | arrived earlier.This closed the evi- < deuce, and after a brief deliberation i the jury returned a verdict of ncci- : dentul death.MAJ0RIÏY Of 1465 MAJOR EMILE RIOUX, who is in command of the 7>4th Regiment.ter Harold Bray left this morning, atm will have everything in readiness for the men when they

growing more dangerous, the reticence of the Gov ernment renders impossible a precise determination of its gravity.The only thing absolutely certain is that a condition of insurgency exists am ong the negroes of Mantanzas, Santa Clara and Oriente provinces, espcc ially in the last-named, and that the Government is straining every nerve to stamp out the rebellion by the use of all the military forces at its disposal, even at the cost of reducing the garrison at Havana to a few companies.Additional troops have been rushed by railroad to Oriente, a force of twelve hundred men having been despatched to that province Monday night.The new cruiser Cuba, which has arrived here and was accorded, with her consort.La Pair!a, a great popular demonstration of welcome, had hardly anchored before she re ceived orders to take aboard six hundred infantry and artillery and proceed to Guantanamo.It is ex pected that La Patria will take more troops aboard.Several carloads of ammunition have been sent to Or iente.AMERICANS ALARMED.Washington, May 23.\u2014To-day\u2019s advices to the State Department con firm the press despatches that the negro revolutionary movement in Cuba is more alarming and widespread than at first supposed.The negroes are well armed, are stealing horses, and the leaders are constantly threatening foreign property.An official estimate numbers the revolutionists at 1,500, but it is estimated that over 5,000 are already in the field.The State Department is considering sending a warship to the east end of Cuba in addition to the small naval force now there.This would not necessarily indicate a purpos.\" on the part of the United States to again intervene, but it is believed will have a salutary moral effect upon the insurrectos, and make them hesitate to begin reckless de struction of foreign property.1 ¦ >oor>p^ to-day to discuss the situation, Lorraine into Prussia, declared : \"A | ,inil it ,s sported will cal! a general people like the English

insinuation that there is a divergence of views between France and Russia.Russia, according to the despatch, is anxious to bring the Turco-Italian war to an end, as it is causing immense losses to Russian shipping.Nevertheless, the Russian Government does not harbor the slightest design against Turkey, nor | is it exercising pressure on Turkey.Russia is likewise anxious to preserve the existing condition of things in the Balkans, for which purpose it has reached understandings with Austria and Italy.These understandings are not inimical to France, which Russia hopes will not be influenced by

sneezing and catarrhal cough cease.bronchial irritation stops; in short, yon are cured of catarrh by a pleasant, simple remedy.free fr.rn sedatives and irritants.That Catarrhozone is a swift, certain means of destroying colds and catarrh is proved by the following statement of Mr Palos, one of Brockvillc's best known merchants : \u201cIn the fall of 1903,\u201d writes Mr.Pulos, under date of June 10th, 1910, \u201cI contracted a very severe cold which developed into Catarrh.At that time I was living in New York State and treated with four different physicians, who afforded me no relief.On coming to Brockville I was advised by a friend to try Catarrhozone.I bought the dollar outfit, and was gratified by the results.I was completely cured by Catarrhozone, and have used it since to check a cold with unfailing results.It is the grandest medicine in existence, and I hope my testimony will he of some use to other fellow-suffers.\u201d (Signed) George Pulos.An ideal proO \u2022\tf.,r - , cheer., lungs, nose ae.d throat is the frequent use of Catarrhozone.Two months' treatment fthe large size) ros\u20183 STOP, medium size Stic.; at all dealers or the Catarrhozone Co .Buffalo, N.Y.and Kingston.Canada.there are trees, but there are very few who are raising the liner varieties in the County.Pear trees are coming into bloom, with the prospect of a good crop.The apple crop promises to be up to the average, but the tent caterpillars are out in full force, and should be dealt with this week, if the trees are to have full vitality to bear the promised crop.The usual number of fruit trees will have been planted out this spring, and those already planted are making a tine start, owing to favorable weather conditions.About seventeen hundred apple trees of different sizes have been set out by members of the Megantic Horticultural Society, and all trees brought in this spring have been in good condition.The Horticultural Society plant orders are being made up, and apart from some very good home-grown plants, whi'h are available this spring, shipn;, nts will be received for the Society about the first of June, at Lyster, Leeds Village and Inverness Village.Strawberry plants were well protected by snow all winter and are looking well, where they are to be found, but in too many of our Megantic gardens no place is found for the queen of small fruits, and we are having light frosts at night.Election supplies are about exhausted, and the normal conditions of a no-license county again prevail.FOR FURS Alex.Ames § Sons, Ltd.279 Wellington Stmt SHE It H R COKE: RiGHëSI O'JALI rf* TEA No coloring matter in this tea.In the seventy-five years of their business life Ridgways have never adulterated their teas.Ridgways Tea comes to you packed in air-tight packages with all the flavor retained.Until you try it you\u2019ll never know how good tea can be.AWA.OrO -\u2018.01.0 EJSDAb LOSDOW 1.-1 RIDGWAYS \u2022OHO-.:.,'!,,.50c.ce.rtb.* f i»ç O'clock * Trc 60c.\u2019 Capital H.kokj1 Tm 40c.¦ H.M.B.\u2019 Ici\tSI.00 May So'.j be Had in Town Bat Shaft hgcrdi: F.l.PFVEMCT&t MMTiat.AX WELL'S highspeed CHAMPION is the Washer 1er a Woman In the first place.Maxwell\u2019s \"Champion\u2019' is the only washer that can be v/orked with a crank handle at the aide as well as with the top lever.Just suit your own convenience.Another Maxwell friture\u2014L®rer and Bala'iooW heel aro so aeeurate y adju&ted and work upeuebspeed that the washer runs alont even when you have t'cviseî working the lever.There's no doubt about Marvell 's \u2022Champion* being (he easiest r ur n 1 ne washer on the market Writ* for new I!lustrated booklet Ifyc .rdealer does not handle Maxwell's \u2022Champion* Washer.DAVID VAXWEU A SONS.St.Marj, Dot.II^ Photography!

the station.GENERAL CONDITIONS.Fair headway is being made with pring work, and about the average amount of planting ami sowing is being done.Gtrass is looking well, excepting the clover in low places, which was blackened by Sunday night's frost.Farm help is scarce, and all are busy.Roads are dry, but very rough.Cold winds blow by day and we are having light, frosts at night.Election supplies are about exhausted, and the normal conditions of a no license county again prevail.GRAND TRUNK RAILWAY TIMETABLE, RICHMOND QUEBEC DIVISION.Time table in effect October 23, 1911.Express Express Acc\u2019m Daily Except Except ¦Sunday Sunday a.m.\ta.m.\tp.m.Richmond .4.00\t10.20\t8.25 Plessis ville .5.39\t11.56\t3.59 Ste.Julie .5.55\t12.H\t10.15 Lyster .6.05\t12.25.\t10.24 Methot's Mills .6.22\t12.43\t10.39 St.Agapit .6.39\t1,04\t10.55 Levis .7.40\t1.55\t11.40 Acc\u2019m Express Express Except Daily Except Sunday Sunday a.m p.m.p.m.Levis .6.60\t1.30\t7.20 St.Agapit .7,39\t2.23\t8.04 Methot's Mills .7.56\t2.39\t8.20 Lyster .8.11\t2.54\t8.35 Ste Julie .8.19\t3.02\t8.45 Plessisville .8.36\t3.17\t9.01 Richmond .10.05\t4.45 10.45 FAREWELL BANQUET | AT THEÏF0RD MINES.Mr.Percy Johnston Guest o!
