met YEAR 81. No. 52. ALD, HARRISON RESIGNS HIS SEAT IN COUNCIL Bocas 0 Fase Statements HIS GOOD REPUTATION TO BE BESMIRCHED. By People Who Have a Failing For Judging a Man's Motives Wrong- ly -- Refuses to Withdraw Resig- nation When Urged to Do So. Ald. T. F. Hartson tock the Council by surprise when it was a- bout to adjoura shortly after mid- night by tendering his resignation as representative of Ontario ward. When pressed to withdraw it he said he could not. «It was his intention to retire from the council and not be subjected to the reflections that had been cast. upon him through false rumors the past two weeks. Ie had decided to put up with it no longer. When an alderman was trying to de his very best fpr the city it was an awful thing to be met with the sug- gestion that he was doing things through self-interest. Ald. Harrison had reference to the proposal of the City Property com- mittee, of which he is chairman, to purchase land at Kingston Junction for industrial sites. Twice the coun: | cil has expressed its approval of the proposal. and Ald. Harrison was happy -to 'think that it had for the setond time endorsed the project: on the night when he tendered his resig- nation. It was regrettable, Ald. Harrison said, that such innuendoes ® as he had referred to should be sent broad- cast, and what was still more re- grettable that even some aldermen in the council should believe them. "1 answered the questions put to me to-night by Ald. Graham square ly. Now I am not going to leave myself in a position wher every move I might make in the interest of the city would be wrongly viewed by certain people, and have my rchar- acter besmirched as in the past few weeks. I know some of the men who have carried these stories and 1 will thiow up my civic career be- City wo por the os. T am hagkiul sovsisties.. at this board. Yu through here for the present." Veged To To Withdraw Lit Nearly overy alderman had = some- titing to say in urging Ald. Harrison 10 withdraw his resignation. Ald. Fuir was first to speak, It was fost unfortunate, he said, that Ald. Har rison had taken this step. When a man 'is sive in the council he is sure to held up to a good deal of criticism. He, too, had to bear insults, - For, instance, a man occupy- img a very prowinent position in the city last year made the charge that he (the speaker) had a proposal in- terest ;in the ssphalt block company Tt is & disesss with some people to talk that way, said Ald, Far. As Ald. Harrison bad proven himself to ha yuck oxcellont representative of the iophe: it would be most unfor- tunatn for him to drop out.

Newman said that when came to council he felt proud to in a body with a man like Ald. rison, who had been one of stroug factors in making the city progressive of recent years. If Ald. Harrison resigned he felt like restyn- ing himself. Ald. Litton declared that he was glad Ald. Harrison had put in his ve- signation. = He ' bad done a good thing in doing sa. The speaker re warked that he was sorry Ald. Gra- ham was not present for if he could hear the discussion it would he a great lesson for him in future. 1% would stop a good deal of wrangling that went on in council. Ald.

Lovdon, March 3.--The home controversy . becowes more every day and opposition seem determined in advance to wreck any possibility of Premier Asauith's forthcoming concessions be- ing accepted. Having failed to se- cure the exclusion of Ulster they are now reverting to the demand for a general election before the final -pay- sage of the bill, knowing such a demand is impossible. Political gossips are inclined to the belief that the government may adovt the main feature of Sir Hor- ace Plunkett's scheme, ofiering north- cast Ulster the right of a plebiscite to withdraw from the Irish parfiia- ment in a fixed period. The conviction grows that what- wer form the government offer takes the opposition will refuse to agree. The bill will then go to the lords in the old form, and the final struggle will begin. The latest move of the umionists is the issuance of a olemn league cov- enant' by Lord Milner and a. group of prominent men threatening to sup- port any action to prevent home rule being put in operation by troops to be used awainst Ulster. The Daily Chronicle savs: "Most of the men who signed this are men very eminent in different non-politi- cal spheres. Such men, indeed many of the same men. made precisely sim: ilar exhibitions of themselves four years ago over Lloyd{George's bud- get which they denounced ns an end of all things, yet under which most of them have contrived to live tol erably ever since." DOG MUST BE DESTROYED rule bitter leaders Or Deported, Was the Decision of the trate Farrell instructed the owner of the bull terrier which bit the little girl when returning from school on Monday noon, to either have the ani- mal removed from the city or de stroyed.

The evidence of two citizens, whe had witnessed the attack of the can- ine upon the child, one im particula: having saved her from perhaps fata) injury, was taken, as well, as that of the young man was in charge of the dog in question, which belonged tc his brother-in-law, The second wit ness had kicked tho dog off twice and had finally carried the terrified little girl into the Chinese laundry at the corner of Division and Earl streets, where the incident occurred It was then discovered that the calf of the leg had been'quite badly bitten A doctor who was passing at the time attended the injury, and on Tuesday morning there were no signs of seri- ous developments. According to the story told the wagistrate this 'bull pup had been guilty of these tactics before, for the little girl bitten yesterday had been attacked on a formér occasion, and a boy had also been bitten. The owner and young man who was in eharge of the dog at the time made explanations, but not sufficient to convince the magistrate that the "pet" was safe to" be ut large.

REFUSES TO ACCEPT The Proposed Bond From the King- ston Ico Company. The Board of Health held a special meeting on Monday afternoon, to con- sider the suggestion of the police magistrate that a bond of $10,000 be accepted from the Kingston Ice com- pany that it would not offer for use two tiers of contaminated ice in one of its slorage houses, which ice was cut within the prohibited area of the harbor.

BRITISH ROYALTY BREAKS TRADITION Now Permits Diner Guests To os Comtr¥oh 'London, March Te Ny Queen Mary have 'made ab innova- tion in court etiquette. It is the breaking down of the tradition under which nobody must address a mon- arch, unless first spoken to by his ma- jesty. It is now intimated that at private dinner parties, at least, the convives must not hesitate either to make original remarks. or even to broach new subjects for conversation. As the king and queen are going to dine out regularly the coming sea- son, 'the innovation is cal a'great stir in those circles in which oapi- tality is likely to be extended royalty. It is hailed as an admirn, move. Queen Alexandra still adheres to the old custom, possibly on account of the fact that her deafness makes it difficult for her to follow the general conversation.

Sam Hughes Announces That Canada Will Have a Team at Bisley Next Year. Ottawa, March J-----A Oriental immigration showed both sides in the House of Commons unanimous for striet limi- tation of the number of Chinese, Jap- anese and Hindus coming into Can- ada. Apart from this, the discuss- ion degenerated largely into a party controversy. over the responsibility for the existence of the probleui in its present form. The opposition pointed to the continued strong iu- flux of Chinese and the increase in the Hindu immigration last year. Speakers on the government side re- plied that the present situation was only the result of the regulation es- tablished by the late government and in the case of the Hindu immigrants, failure to deal with the matter pro- perly when the problem first present- ed itself. Hon. Dr. Roche, minister of the interior, stated that the government had been asked by the labor organi- zations of British Columbia to con- tinue for six months longer the pro- debate on yesterday laborers and artisans of all classes, which expires on March matter under serious consideration. Dr. Roche also stated that the Chin- ese immigration, which had steadily increased up till the middle of last year, had greatly fallen off since. H. H. Stevens, Vancouver, made a strong appeal for rigid restriction of all oriental immigration and urg- ed that some arrangement be sought with China that would limit, to a stated number, the amount of im- migration, the same as in the case of Japanese. In reply to E. M. MacDonald, Col. the Hon. 3am Hughes made the tention g a team to ay this year, as the war office had cancelled the regulation prohibiting the use of the aperture sight as a result. of the petition of the National Rifle as- sociation at its recent meeting. in reply to Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Hon. J. D. Hazen, minister of mar- ine and fisheries, said the govern ment had been assured that the fish- eries treaty between Canada and the United States, which had just pas- sed the United States senate, would pass the House of Representatives within a few days and at once come into force.
