The law with regard to the possession of firearms has undergone a satisfactory change. No British subject needs a permit now to have in his possession any rifle, shotgun or other weapon. This of course does not permit anyone to pack a gun on his hip.

The point has Deen raised before, but notwithstanding the fact that there was no legal authority for officers to search the person it has been done. Yesterday experts of the Attorney-Generals' Department gave their views on the subject in relation to the operation of the Sandy billj and their verdict was unanimous that the law did not provide for personal search though an flicer who suspects the presence of iquor may search a traveller's grip r suitcase. "if an officer has good reason to believe a man is carrying liquor, he him--and find the liquor afterward", said an official. "The officer takes a chance, that's all. Belated Shipments Vice-Chairman Dingman of the License Board stated that no special steps had been taken to deal with 'ndividuals carrying liquor on the yersoii. They had no right of search and there was little they wild do. Mr. Dingman said thr-t ittle difficulty was being experien-■edced in connection with delayed leliveries of liquor. So far few ap-had come in for permission livery; but in all cases was evident that the ship-a bona fide one and the delay not the fault or the individual :s allowed to get his liquor.

LONDON, July 26.--The feeling in both London and Dublin over the prospects of peace in Ireland remains optimistic. Eamonn de Valera, the Irish Republican leader, Saturday discussed the British terms with Arthur Griffith and others at the Mansion House in Dublin, but no formal conference was held, and Mr. de Valera informed inquirers that it was most unlikely any developments would take place in the immediate future. There will probably be further consultations among the Sinn Fein ministers, after which a meeting of the Dail Eireann will be called. No date for this meeting has been fixed, and it is presumed that modifications of the terms will be sought, before the "republican parliament" takes up the matter officially. Gen. Smuts, the South Afrioan Premier, it is understood, will go to Ireland early this week for the purpose of conciliating, if possible, the opposing factions of the North and the South. He will place his services at the disposal of both Mr. de Valera and Sir James Craig, the Ulster Premier, and it is probable that he will have considerable latitude in the task before him. The opinion in London is that the British terms are not likely to be accepted as they stand, but Mr. de Valera is almost certain to come to London again, with more of his colleagues, and the Ulster Premier has already declared that he would be available at any time he was really needed. The Belfast View. BELFAST, Ireland, July 26.--The belief appears general in Belfast that Eamonn de Valera, the Irish Republican leader, will not accept the terms of the British Government for a settlement of the Irish question, which falls far short of the republican ideal. It may be assumed that the outstanding feature of the Governmental offer is fiscal control, which implies dominionism for Ireland outside the six northern counties, and, unless special provision is made to the contrary, it is believed likely to prove the strongest tester for forcing Ulster to join with the southern Parliament. The prospects, so far as actions may be adjudged, are not disconcerting to the northern cabinet. Sii James Craig, the Ulster Premier, has left for Scotland with his wife and daughter to join his sons who are on holiday there, and John Miller Andrews, Ulster Minister of Labor, who is also President of the Ulster Unionist Labor Association, did not attend the monthly meeting of that body Friday night. Although not officially stated, it is generally believed here that the Ulster Government has received the most positive guarantees from Mr. Lloyd George. » Meanwhile, the authorities are taking advantage of the truce to restore matters to a normal basis. The North Donegal Railroad, which it was thought would not be repaired for weeks, already is In operation, and orders have been given on the shortest notice to rsstart the Glen-tries line. CILLED Mic hael McAlony, an employee of iOniario No. 1, met with a terrible ffeath on Friday at Genessee Dock, just as the boat was about to leave for Cobourg. He was engaged oiling the machinery and dropped one ut, his tools. The eugme was apparently stopped and he reached .down to get the tool, wiien the heavy dropped, crushing his head. The machinery, unfortunately had not entirely ceased to revolve. He was badly bruised and mutilated. Death resulted in a few minutes. McAloney came here trom Montreal, where his relatives live, and he has a sister residing at Kingston. A peculiar coincidence is that he was to have been married the following day, but death intervened to separate him and his betrothed, and death also prevented the marriage of the late John Williams, another employee of the same boat, who was drowned a short time ago.--World. NO 8PHINXES FOR HIM. "I want to keep tal^Tng," said Senator Sorghum, "at leasrSenough to prevent any general reference to me as a sphinx." "But such references imply a certain degree of compliment." "I don't think so. The sphinx is made up of such contradictory elements that he can't be classified, and the only remark I ever heard attributed to one was largely in Uie nature of a joke." Candidly Defined. "What is your idea of a free government?" "A free government," said the bol-shevist, "Is one that offers no opposition to our efforts to kick It to pieces and start something under our exclusive control." Something Learned. 'Has the government taught you anything about railroading?" "Yes," replied the old-time railroad manager. "It has taught us that the traveling public can be made more docile and forbearing than we had Imagined in our fondest hopes." KILLED ON HIS FARM. J. A. Calder, M.P.P., \ictim Accident. WOODSTOCK, July 26.--John A. Calder, Liberal representative in the Provincial Legislature for North Oxford, died early Saturday morning at his home on the eleventh line of East Nissouri, from the effects of accident Friday afternoon. Mr. Calder was assisting in p ting hay into the barn, when the crosspiece to which the pulley fastened broke and the pulley hit Mr. Calder across the head, fracturing the skull. He never regained Mr. Calder was one of the outstanding figures in public life in Oxford. He was 55 years of age, and was born in East Nissouri, a son of the^ate Donald Calder, who was at, one time Warden of Oxford county. For five years Mr. Calder served in the Township Council of East Nis- He was a former president of the Western Farmers' Weather Insurance Co., and at the time of his death was an active member of the Board of Directors of that company. He was always interested in the North Oxford Liberal Association, and was at one time its president. He also took a keen, interest In. educational affairs, and for several years served on the Kintore School Board. On September 23, 1918, he was elected by acclamation as the-Liberal iber of North Oxford in succession to the Hon. N.W. Rowell, who resigned to accept a Cabinet position 1th the Union Government at Ottawa. .Again, in 1919, Mr. Calder was returned to the House by a huge majority. He belonged to the Masonic Order, King Solomon's Lodge, 394, Thamesford, and was a member of the Presbyterian Church at Kintore. Five Families Homeless. OTTAWA, July 2 6.--Damage estimated at $50,000 was caused, five families were rendered homeless and fifteen motor cars and a carload of coal were destroyed by a fire of unknown origin which broke out in the village of Winchester about 30 miles from here Sunday.
