REMANKABLE DEVELOPMENT IN BANK OF ENGLAND ROBBERY Were Extra Guarded, But Same Gang Probably Intercepted Them er Route. London, Dec. 6.----There was a re markable development yesterday in the investigation into the robbery of $50,000. worth of sovereigns con- tained in two cases of a counsign- ment of one million, shipped by the Bank of England to the Credit Lyon- pals at Alexandria, Egypt, about three weeks ago. The two cases the consignment which were found to contain lead instead of gold or their arrival at Alexandria were zen! back to England for expert exam ination. Extra precautions were tak- en to guard these two cases on their way back, but they have either been lost or stolen, as no trace of them can be discovered. The continental polices Delteve that they were cer- tainly intercepted by the same gang which planned and carried out the original robbery. The police were anxious here ascertain whether the original rob bery was effected by a substitut on of cases or by the abstraction of the gold and the resealing of the cases with carefully imitated seals of the Bank of England. and the Credi' Lyonnais, For this reason tele graph codes were sent to Alexandris to have the boxes sent right back in the condition in which they were received. They were sent by steam er from Egypt to Trieste, whence they were despatched by tran I Bremen, They should bave arrived in London by steamer irom tk latter place on Tuesday, but all trace of them has been lost. of o nat ---- CAMORHIST GOES INSANE. he Ulster Overcoat Fhe Ulster Overcoat is loaded with comfort, Hf vou will step in Spend His Days in Asylum Instead of Prison.

Borden's bill was given its first | reading without further discussion. The second reading will be moved for on Tuesday, when Sir Wilfrid will speak. Obvious Lines of Criticism. While the attitude of the liberals towards the proposals will not be decided until they have been fully considered upon their merits, and the iets disclosed in the admiralty mem- orandum have heen carefully stadied, | several of the main lines of criticism are obvious. The premier"s ignoring of any permanent policy of naval defence, his declaration that the ships are to be owned by Canada, but built, manned and maintained by Bri tain, and the evident inclusiveness of his argument as to the "emergency" are all anomalies which lend them- selves to criticism While there is no objection on the liberal side to a generous and prompt measure of assistance to im perial defence: it is felt that the tum- porary expedients proposed hy Pre mier Borden to harmomize opposing pre-election policies are not based on the soundest principles of imperialism and do not meet the more vital is wues of the larger problem. / Speaker Sproule called the atten. tion of the premier to the fact that wouey measures must be preceded by a resolution, under the rujes. The | premier replied that he" was aware of the rule, and had had a resolution prepared,and approved by his royal highness, which would be submitted m due course to the house. Splurge Instead of Policy. Toronto, Dec. 6.--The Star (liberal) editorially, to-day, says: "Mr. Bor {den reduces one of Britain's difficul- ties, but increases the other. In ad- | dition to her own naval budget, Bri- | tain will nest be compelled to passa new and additipnal budget of no {small size in order to impart life and [use to those three empty ships tied { vo her door and left there. The whole thing is poor in spirit. It is a | splurge where it should: have heen a | policy i - A Canadian-Built Navy. | Montreal, Dec. 6.--La Presse (liber. {al} says that the French-Canadians {are not wanting in loyalty to the empire, but intimates that Canada's { best course is to keep up a navy built 1 and controlled in Canada Borden Policy Found Wanting. London, Dee. 6.-- Premier Asquith, 'met the committee of imper- a1 defence league tn his offices iN Gay. Canada's naval proposals were d's us ed. No stat:ment was | ven out. It is not likely the gov- ernment wil say much about it until nore cfficial fuformation is re- crived. The Manchester Guardian regrets that the British govern ment took sides on the question much controversed in Canada. Ber- { nard Shaw, the noted playwrigh, says Canada is making a great bar. {rain for herself in its naval policy, but regrets that the British tax payer must still meet the cost of the upkeep of these dreadnoughts. Bir Conan Doyle expresses himself | well satisfied with Canada's gener- ous treatment. The general impression of the Eritish press after considering the matter over night, is that Canada's failure to provide for the mainten- | ance of the ships leaves something wanting in the Borden policy, to-day Liberals Hold Caucus. Ottawa, Dec. 6.---The liberals wer {in caucus this morning én the naval proposals, considering what line is to i be taken on Tuesday, when Sir Wil frid resumes the debate on Borden's announcament. The nationalists also met, and it is understood Mr. Mon- don will press his amendment for a plebiscite. STOCK MAZKE1IS. F. B McCurdy Co.. Olarengé Cham. bers--H. W. Nelles, Manager.
