BURNED TO THE GROUND EARLY TO-DAY.Malone, N.Y., April 17.\u2014(Special)\u2014 Seven or more persons were burned to death, several women sustained injuries from which they may die, and a score of persons were rescued by firemen, in a spectacular fire which destroyed the De Wilson Hotel, an old three-storey wooden structure on Catherine street, early to-day.BURNED LIKE PAPER.The building burned like paper and the firemen had little time to effect rescues.An explosion caused the fire.MORE BODIES IN RUINS.More bodies are believed to he in the ruins.Most of those injured were hurt by jumping from the third storey.EXPLOSION CAUSE OF FIRE.The fire started from an explosion, the cause of which is unknown.The guests had no time to get out.Some of the guests were overcome in the hallways and

Vas-quez Gomez, ex-presidential candidate of Mexico and former minister to the United States, arrived yester day under an assumed name, after escaping from Mexico through Vera Cruz.In an interview last night De.Ct'ornez declared that the outlook in Mexico is very black.Dr.Gomez, whose incognito is Jose Castillo, and who was accompanied by his son Francisco, under the name of Rodolfo Castillo, says that the revolutionists held a general convention in Hermosillo yesterday for the purpose of forming plans for carrying on the campaign.\u201cI consider the political outlook in Mexico is extremely dark.The military dictatorship is every day becoming more and more repugnant to the people than in 1910, when as one man Mexicans uprose against the power of Don Porfirio Diaz.The firemen managed to save a few by getting them out of the windows, but there was little time- for rescue work.One woman, whose home is in Montreal, jumped from a third-storey window.Her shoulder was fractured and she was otherwise injured.She may die.The building was of wood and three storeys high.It was an old structure, and a veritable fire trap.There are believed to be others dead, but all the bodies had not been recovered or identified this morning.FEEL SAFE NOW AGAINST FLOOD PREMIER STFTON MAKES DENIAL Edmonton, Albt., April 17.\u2014 Premier Sifton in reply to a message regarding a campaign

untrue.I never heard of either until your telegram arrived.I would reply asking voters to pay no attention to Opposition lies at this late date.\u201d CITIES IN LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY PREPARE FOR HIGH STAGE OF RIVER.New Orleans, April 17.\u2014A week of sunshine in the lower Mississippi Xal ley has permitted the work of raising and strengthening the levees to proceed without interruption.Engineers in charge of the fight against the steadily increasing flood waters from Vicksburg south are extremely optimistic.The river here is two-tenths of a food below flood stage, and more than four feet below the high level of last spring.At Vicksburg the river lacks 1.3 feet of last year\u2019s maximum stage.From Baton Rouge south en gine-ers claim that it will be two to four weeks before the river gauges register close to the 1912 record.SENECA FINDS TWO BERGS.Washington, April 12.\u2014Two great icebergs one hundred miles north of the transatlantic steamship lanes and moving southward were discovered by the derelict-destroyer Seneca, on the 13th of April, according to a delayed wireless despatch to the Revenue Cut ter service yesterday.One berg was in latitude 44.3(1 and longitude 49.09.The other was eleven miles west of that position.IUE mHON GF A POPE Paris, April 17.\u2014(Special)\u2014 The next papal conclave at Rome has become a subject of pregnant interest to the entire Catholic world, not only from a spiritual, but also from a political point of view\u2019.The.following is an outline of the many peculiar and ancient details of -the great ceremony by which the new head of the Church is selected.In the first place the occupant of the holy sea is subjected, at the trying moment, when his soul is atout to be required of him, to formalities that are elaborately laid down and which seem very much at variance with the closing scene of a human life.In the presence of the members of the sacred college tho sacristan bishop administers the viaticum and extreme unction.The grand peniten tiary gives the absolution.The penitential psalms are then intoned.The expiring pontiff, if he have the strength to do so, gives his benediction to the assembly, and the dirge of the mortuary hymns continues to the end.The Oamerlingo of the Vatican, in order to make tho official record of the death, takes up a small silver hammer, with which he strikes three light blows on the dead man\u2019s head, and calls on him by his Christian naitte.Nino days after the death of the pope the conclave meets to choose his successor.Tho gathering takes its name from the fact that the cardinals are locked up In \"conclave\u201d and shut IT from all communication with the outer world.Tho next conclave will he tho first to meet in tho huge building of the Vatican Palace, and which is known as the Palace of the Conclave.Tho palace has 200 rooms, distributed among 70 apartments, each of which will constitute the, accommodations needed for one of the cardinals when all come together to elect a Pope; On tho day of the conclave all arc summoned from their rooms by a hell thrice rung, and repair to the assembly chamber.From this moment un tii tho result of the voting is announced they have no communication save with the Vatican officials.Their clothing and oven their food is searched, lost they should contain correspondence from outside.After a night, of seclusion the conclave is formally assembled early next afternoon, and all repair to tho chapel, where n desk 1ms been provided for each cardinal.In tho middle of tho hull are six tables, and he- VOTING IN ALBERTA TO-DAY Large Vote Is Expected as WeatherConditions Are Good THERE WILL BE CONTESTS IN FIFTY-THREE SEATS.WITH TWO DEFERRED ELECTIONS.Edmonton, Alb., April 17.\u2014 With ideal weather*'- conditions promised, and farmers not yet generally started in their spring work, a very large vote is expected in the Alberta provincial elections taking place today.The brief campaign, over three weeks, has been strenuously fought by both sides.There will be contests in 53 seats today with two deferred elections in Peace River and Athabasca.With the exception of Edmonton, where there are two to be elected, each constituency will elect one representative.In the cities the polls close at six o\u2019clock and in the country at five.Both sides are claiming victory in the closing days of the campaign, but estimates offered by leading, Liberals are considerably stronger from their point of view than those of the Conservatives.Last night estimates were received from all cabinet ministers.All the opinions are couched in optimistic terms.Hon.J.R.Boyle believes that the Conservatives will be very lucky if they increase their representation, which stood at seven last session in the new House.On the other hand, the Hon.Duncan Marshall, who has toured a large number of the southern coustituencies, where it is generally conceded that the Conservative campaign will produce the best results, is of the opinion that the Conservatives cannot possibly win more than sixteen seats out of the fifty-four and the chances are, he says, that they will not win that many.-4- DESPERATE AFFRAY WITH POACHERS Deputy Warden Was Killed When He Had Man Under Arrest hind these an altar.Immediately in front of the altar is a table on which are two chalices for holding the ballots.Before proceeding further, a search is made to assure the conclave of the fact that none but those entitled to vote are present.Each cardinal writes the name; of the cardinal he would elect, in the centre of the voting ticket.This is of an oblong form, prepared acccrding to the bull of Gregory XV.At the foot of the altar the voter lifts up his hand and exhibits the ticket between his thumb and finger.He then kneels and prays for a moment, after which he takes oath that he is about to elect him whom, according to God, he thinks ought to he elected.He then puts the ticket on the paten and slips it from thence into the chalice, which ho covers up again.Then he makes anew a reverence before the altar and returns to his place.When all have voted in like manner and six tellers examine the papers and procla ni the result.If no Cardinal has obtained the required number of votes\u2014two-thirds of the number of Cardinals present\u2014the result is declared void, and the voting papers, collected together, are burned in a brazier with damp straw, the dense smoke from which issues through a particular chimney, visible from outside and proclaims to the outer world that no election has taken place.Heretofore the burning of the ballots has closed the session of the day and the conclave has adjourned until the evening.Four years ago, however^ pope Pins X introduced an important change in the method of electing his successor.Instead of having but two ballets each day the new ruling provides for four ballots, two in the morning and two in the evening.Thus the conclaves in future arc expected to take just half tho time occupied during the last seven centuries.Proceeding with the election by bfil lot, voting is continued on the Unes indicated until a choice is reached.The result is then announced by the ringing of a boll and all the senior cardinals advance to the place occu pied by the newly chosen pontiff and inquire if ho accepts the election.On receiving an nlllmmtivo answer, he is at once saluted by tho entire college.Tho new Pope then retires to robe himself in tho pontifical vestments.On ids return tiie fisherman's ring is placed on ids finger, and the new Vicar of Ohrist gives Ids first solemn benediction to the members of the sacred college from the steps of the al tar.FIVE ITALIANS OF FISHERMEN\u2019S COLONY AT SAN FRANCISCO UNDER ARREST.San Francisco, Cal., April 17.\u2014 (Special)\u2014In a fight with fish poachers in the Slough, near San Francisco, last night, Ernest Renaud, a young deputy warden, was beaten to death.His companion, M.S.Clark, another 'deputy, escaped by swimming half a mile, after he had killed An-tone Balesteri, the leader of the gang.Six Italians, members of San Francisco\u2019s fishermen\u2019s colony/are under arrest.Renaud and Clark, in a rowboat, had arrested two poachers in a launch.They were bringing their prisoners to San Francisco, when another launch, manned by five men, came alongside and its occupants sprang into the officers\u2019 boat.Renaud was quickly overpowered.Clark had just drawn his pistol and had begun shooting, when he was knocked into the water.He swam ashore and telephoned to the police.Shortly afterwatxis detectives who had hurried to the fishermen\u2019s wharf arrested a man wounded in the hand, and five of his companions.A search of the launch resulted in the discovery of the bodies of Renaud and Balesteri.MEETING OF SOVEREIGNS KING GEORGE, GEAR OF RUSSIA AND KAISER WILL MEET IN BERLIN.London, April 17.\u2014The British Foreign

Making an Inquiry Into the Nancy Affair THE INCIDENT IS A SPARK IN A VERY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE.Berlin, April 17.\u2014The \u201cNancy incident\u201d continues to occupy many columns in the newspapers.Foreign Secretary Von Jagow made another statement in the Reichstag yesterday.It amounted to little more than that the French Government was making an inquiry, but had not yet completed it; that the Germans concerned had made depositions before the proper authorities, and that their sworn statements would be forwarded to Paris.The statement was received with general approval.It is clear from last night\u2019s reports that feeling runs very high, ancf, as Baron Von Schon is reported to have said, the Nancy incident dangerously resembles a spark in an already explosive atmosphere.The Vossische Keitung last night appealed to the public to avoid demonstrative excitement.The Kolnische Zeitung, naturally points out that these incidents confirm its statement of some weeks ago that France was the real disturber of the peace, but the Rhenish organ apparently does not perceive that its own untimely observations served in no small measure to excite French feeling across the border.INDESCRIBABLE INSULTS.According to yesterday:s reports from witnesses, the German ladies at Nancy were insulted in an- indescribable manner and the men ofi the German party were belabored with sticks until they consented to make Oriental obeisances to the students and allow dry bread and black sausage to he stuffed down their throats.TORONTO MAY BUY STREET RAILWAY Mayor Hocken Has Called

controllers believed it would be a year at least before the necessary arrangements could be made, the Mayor again showed his hand by announcing that the matter could be put through without delay.The cost of the street railway lines to the city has not been announced, hut it is understood from an authoritative source that it will be slightly in excess of $20,000,000.In addition to $11,000,000 of share capital, there are bonds amounting to $3,658,940 to be assumed.The proposition of the Toronto Electric Light Company is also said to be a definite one, which will involve around $5,000,000 or $6,000,000.This will follow along the efforts of the city government to unify the system.G.T.R.EXPRESS WAS DELAYED Freight Car Was Shunted on to Rear of Dining Car PASSENGER CAR WAS ALSO DAMAGED AND

MEETING.London, April 17.\u2014The sentence on Mrs.Pankhurst is not, it has been officially decided, to be a bar to the hearing of the charge of conspiracy which West End trading firms are bringing in the higher courts.An important move has been made in connection with the charge of conspiracy, which followed the window smashing in the West End.Originally only two firms were cited as plaintiffs against Mr.and Mrs.Pethick Lawrence, formerly treasurers of the Women\u2019s Social and Political Union, and Mrs.Pankhurst, one in each separate action, The West End commercial community has now decided to combine in an endeavor to bring home the responsibility.No fewer thin ninety-three trading concerns, representing practically all the victims of the window-smashing crusade, have been added as plaintiffs in the charges.This step was taken because of tho refusal of the Home Office to protect the tradesmen\u2019s interests.The firms claim in their action against Mrs.Pankhurst damages of nearly $10,000 and an amount almost as much is claimed from the Lawrences.WOMEN ATTACK MILITANTS.London, April 17.\u2014Suffragettes car-ying sandwich hoards adverising a militant meeting at Islington

alteration in his condition since this morning.The temperature of the Pope was inclining to increase, but as a whole the general condition of the patient was almost stationary.WORD AT OTTAWA.Ottawa, April 17.\u2014Archbishop Gauthier, Ottawa, last night received a cablegrom from Rome stating that the Pope's end is near.THE END IS NEAR.Rome, April 17.\u2014Although last night\u2019s bulletin seems favorable the condition of the Pontiff is really no better.He is fast growing weaker.Yesterday a high Vatican official, who for obvious reasons does not wish his name mentioned, said : \u201cNaturally none of us are allowed to see the Holy Father, but the conviction is general in the Apostolic Palace that we are at the beginning of the end.His Holiness has a very high spirit, but is gradually losing his grip.\u2019\u2019 CAN\u2019T RECEIVE SACRAMENT.The Italian Premier, who is absent from Rome, is hastening his return, as he knows that a conclave is imminent.Orders have already been given to two regiments of infantry to hold themselves in readiness.They are confined to barracks, waiting to be called out for police duty in St.Peter's square when the Pope dies.Up to last night the last sacrament had not been administered, though the Pope himself repeatedly warned the doctors and secretaries, and even Cardinal Merry Del Val, that he desired these spiritual comforts.In fact, he almost begged for them.Cardinal Merry Del Val and the Pope\u2019s nephew had a long conference with the doctors yesterday, but the latter fully explained that the administration of the Eucharist was impossible since the Pope's expectoration had diminished, respiration was most difficult and suffocating paraoxisms were very frequent.The Pontiff, they added, did not retain the smallest quantity of the nourishment administered and could not possibly swallow the consecrated wafer.They pointed out that the Pope would inevitably not retain the wafer and that his emotion at the involuntary sacrilege would undoubtedly hasten his death.The doctors hope to succeed in sufficiently reviving the Pope to render possible the Vaticum, but the Pontiff's condition remained unchanged throughout yesterday.At about 5 o\u2019clock last evening the iPope\u2019s sisters were hastily summoned to the Vatican.A report is now spreading that the Pope is alarmingly worse and that his death is imminent.The vigilence at the Vatican is extraordinary and the difficulty of obtaining information has increased.PORTLAND CLAIMANT IS DEAD.London, April 17.\u2014Herbert Druce, a grand son of T.C.Druce, the alleged fifth

you are discharged.\u201d LAW AND POLITICIANS.As Mr.F.E.Smith points out in his introduction, a certain fraternity exists between the Bench and Bar which lias no parallel abroad.Also political lights merge in the fraternity.Daniel O\u2019Connell was at one \u2018time defending a man accused of murder at Clonmel.The circumstantial evidence was so strong against the prisoner that the jury bad already determined upon their verdict of guilty, when the man supposed to be murdered was brought into court, alive and unhurt.The jury were desired to return their verdict at once, and they did so, but it was one of \u2018\u2018Guilty.\" \u201cWhat does this mean ?\u201d said the judge.\u201cIf the man has not been murdered, how can the prisoner bo guilty ?\u201d \u201cPlease, yer Honor,\u201d said the foreman, \u2018\u2018lie\u2019s guilty.He stole my bay mare three years ago.\u201d sugar sticks.The incongruity of his occupations struck the judge-, who remarked : \"What a strange combina-itkm of trades !\u201d \"I see a close resemblance between horses and sugar ¦ticks,\u201d said the witty barrister.\u2018\u2018In \\.at way ?\u201d inquired his lordship.| \"The more you lick them the faster they go,\u201d was the reply.i SETTLING IT OUT OF COURT.A case was tried in a County Court ia an action for detinue of a donkey.The plaintiff was a costermonger and the defendant a costermonger also.: They appeared for themselves.At one i o\u2019clock the judge said : \"Now, my mVi, I\u2019m going to have my lunch and : before I come back I hope you\u2019ll settle your dispute out of court.\u201d When the judge returned into court the plaintiff came in with a black eye, and the defendant with a bloody nose, and the defendant said : \u2018\u2018Well, ' vour Honor, we\u2019ve taken your Honor\u2019s advice; Jim\u2019s given me a damn | good hiding, and I\u2019ve given him back his donkey.\u201d AN AMICABLE MIXTURE.In recommend ng this shoe to yon, -we do so freely\u2014It is one of our up-to-date i-tyles of I ho very best material.J.A.flGGETT S CO.SB3EÏE3 A barrister, more fluent in his | speech than careful in his metaphors, ; was once guilty of the following per-: oration : \u201cGentlemen, it will be for ! you to say whether this defendant shall be allowed to come into court : with unblushing footsteps, with the ! cloak of hypocrisy in his mouth, and ! draw three bullocks out of my client\u2019s j pocket with impunity.\u201d ALLAN LINE Summer Season, 1913 MONTREAL to LIVERPOOL Tunisian\u2014Sat., 3 May, 3.00 a.m.Victorian\u2014Thur., 8 May, 3.00 a.m.Corsican\u2014Sat., 17 May, 3.00 a.m.Virginian\u2014Thur., 22 May, 3.00 a.m.FRESH AIR VS.SUFFOCATION.It is pleasant to choose out of the liberal collection two tales that supplement each other : Sir Henry Hawkins had an inveterate objection to fresh air, and at one time had a sort of movable sentry-box constructed for his own use in court in order to present the possibility of a draught.He once explained his preference for suffocation to chill, on the ground that H was a slower death.Mr.Justice Lawrence, who was an ardent golfer in his younger days, told the following story against himself.A hoy appeared before him as a witness, and on the learned judge asking him if he was acquainted with the nature of an oath, the youth promptly replied: \u201cOf course I am; ain\u2019t I your caddie ?\u201d MOONLIGHT TO ORDER.A man was put on his trial at the Old Bailey for highway robbery, and \u2018 a witness of the prosecutor swore positively to him, saying she had | seen his face distinctly, as it was a j bright moonlight night, and she I stuck to her statement.In addre_ss-! ing the jury the prisoner's counsel \u2019 said it was most fortunate for his ; client that the prosecutor\u2019s witness I had dwelt upon this as her chief fact, but he was in a position to prove beyond the slightest doubt that the night on which the alleged crime i was committed was not a moonlight night, but v\u2019as in the dark quarter, j In proof of this, he would refer to an ! authority that could not lie\u2014he j meant the almanac.The almanac i was handed up to the judge, who told the jury it was so\u2014there could he no | moonlight; and the prisoner was ac-quitted.It turned out that what I the prosecutor\u2019s witness had said 1 : was true.It was a moonlight night, ] | and the false almanac had been print-j cd specially for the occasion.ADVICE CS.8D.\u201cSir,\u201d said a barber to an attor-i ne-y who was passing his door, \u201cwill 1 you tell me if this is a good seven-shilling piece ?\u201d The lawyer, pronouncing the piece good, deposited it in his pocket, adding with great gravity: \u201cif you\u2019ll send your lad to my office, I\u2019ll return the fourpence.\u201d MONTREAL to GLASGOW \u201cDretorian\u2014Sat., 3 May, 5.00 a.m.Grampian\u2014Sat., K!

Sitting of The Criminal Court There COMPLAINANT IN ASSAULT CASE DID NOT RECEIVE MUCH SYMPATHY FROM COURT.Thetford Mines, April 17-.\u2014(Special) -Judge Mulvena held a lengthy sitting of the Criminal Court here yesterday.The Citv of Thetford Mines vs.Jos.Fortin, charged with keeping a restaurant without a license.\u2014It appeared from the evidence that the defendant had been willing to pay for his license, hut that the Municipal Council had refused to grant it.The defence questioned their power to do so.The by-law in question, No.51, conferred on the Council the privilege of granting or refusing such a license.If this provision was illegal, defendant has his recourse before the Superior Court, to set aside the bylaw in question, hut so long as it remained in force the Court would have to enforce it when called upon to do so.The lowest penalty, of $10 and costs, would be imposed.A question arose as to tbe right of the City to charge for the exhibits fyled in the case\u2014copies of by-law, and extracts from minutes of the Council, etc.The fyling of these exhibits was made neces-sary by the defence of the defendant.The amount charged, $4.50, seemed large, but in the absence of any special tariff the Court did not think it would be wise to interfere and reduce the amount.LOITERED ON SIDEWALK.Jos.Vallee vs.Henri Lessard.\u2014The defendant was charged with loitering on the sidewalk and refusing to move on, and obstructing passengers.He was fined $1 and costs, or eight days in jail at Sherbrooke.ASSAULT .CASE.George Turgeon vs.Alfred Mercier, Hormisdas Mercier and Cyranus Langlois, on a charge of assault causing grievous bodilv harm.\u2014The evidence was very lengthy and very conflicting, but the Court held that from the bulk of the complainant's own witnesses it was made evident ; that the complainant was the ag-! gressor and went to the house in ' question with the avowed intention ! of cleaning out the premises.The de-j fendants had perhaps defended them-I selves rather more effectively than was absolutely necessary, hut in view of the reputation of the complainant as a fighter, and tbe difference in physical size, etc., it was difficult to I appreciate to a nicety the amount of i force necessary to repel the assault and protect the defendants.The complaint was dismissed, with costs.ANOTHER ASSAULT.Alphonse Aubin vs.Alfred Mercier, Hormisdas Mercier and Cyranus Langlois, for assault causing bodily harm.\u2014The assault in question arose under the circumstances and at the same time as in the previous case, the complainant having accompanied the other complainant to the house in question for the purpose of assisting him, and met with the same reception.Both complainants were pretty badly wounded, requiring a i doctor\u2019s assistance to dress the wounds, but it was clearly shown ! that they were the aggressors and had been overmatched.They were not entitled to any sympathy, even if they had got more than they deserved.The Court could not set the seal of its approval on their lawless acts, and would dismiss the complaint, as in the previous case.COL DENISON AND THE 54TH REGIMENT Y SENTENCED TO TWO ii EARS IN PENITENT®?Madean Informal Inspection of Corps at the Armoury COMPLIMENTED THE OFFICERS AND MEN ON THE FINE APPEARANCE THEY MADE.There was a large turnout of the 54th Regiment at the Armory last night and the gallery was crowded with interested spectators.Lt.-Col.E.Rioux was in command, with Major J.S.Tetreault, second in command, and Capt.J.O.Ledoux, Medical Officer.With few exceptions every officer and man was present.After the ordinary drilling operations had been gone through, the regiment was drawn up for inspection by Col.Denison, Officer Commanding No.4 Military District, who is visiting Sherbrooke at the present time.The regiment saluted as the Colonel, entered the hall and he returned their salute and then made an inspection of the regiment which afterwards paraded under the direction of Colonel Rioux.At the close the officers were introduced to Col.Denison, who complimented them on the efficiency and soldierly bearing of the men and their intelligent grasp of military duties.The Colonel then addressed the regiment as follows : \u201cOfficers, noncommissioned officers and men of the 54th Regiment, it is a great pleasure for me to be here to-night, and my only regret is that I have to appear without uniform.I have been connected with the army for 40 years, and this is the first time I have ever appeared on parade without uniform.I happened to be in Sherbrooke, and took the opportunity afforded me to meet you.I had no idea I should see such a large assembly.I am particularly pleased with your turnout, and I am also pleased to see such a large audience in the gallery to show their interest in this regiment \u2014 it reflects great credit upon you and upon the city of Sherbrooke.I tell you, men, that no regiment in any country can ever achieve that success or hope for that respect which is due if it does not have the support of the men and women of the country, and it is most gratifying to see the gallery filled with ladies and gentlemen who are ready to follow you so closely in the performance of your duties.I was not aware we should have such a parade as this to-night.I was particularly impressed with the steadiness of the men on parade\u2014to you it may not'mean much, but to m3 it means a great deal.\u201cDeeds not words,\u201d are the requisite of a soldier and to see you standing there like true soldiers shows your appreciation of the duties of a soldier.I must congratulate you and your conduct reflects the greatest credit upon your worthy colonel.It shows me that I have in the 4th Division men whom it would give me the greatest pleasure to command, and I should consider it a privilege if ever the occasion arose to command such a re-girmnt as I am addressing to-night.\u201d The regiment was then dismissed.FrancoisQuele Broke Into Barns in Chesham District SENTENCE ON ANOTHER CONVICTION FOR SIMILAR OFFENCE WAS RESERVED.This morning Francois Quéle, who was convicted the other day of having

statement issued yesterday by the Minister of the Interior it is said that 257,000 men have joined the national political strike of the Belgian workers, who have chosen this means of forcing the grant of manhood suffrage in Belgium and the abolition of the system by which wealthy citizens are ~r\"n plural voting power.The Socialist leafters, on the other hand, as-seH that the total number of strikers.is over 400,000.From various parts of ths piovmce reports show that in some places the movement has been undoubtedly successful while in others, more especially the districts under the control of the Catholic workmen's unions, the men appear to be lukewarm in their sympathy.itlence has been excep;lonal since the order to quit work was given on Monday, cnly a few cases of destruction of property or interference with non-strikers having recurred.It was stated yesterday that the Belgian government finds itself with a considerably smaller supply of coal to run the State railroads than was supposed, and this is likely to be exhausted this week, thus crippling transportation facilities.Lack of fuel also, it is said, will cause the stoppage of many electric and gas plants and.prevent many thousand of non-atrikers from working.L OP IN NEW YORK Boucher, Lacroix 8 Fisette Clothiers, Haberdashers and Shoe Dealers.we told you we had the proper suit to fit the short, stout
