' "For Tea You Can't Beat Lipton's" The Only Genuine LiPTQWSTE^ Has This Signature on the imckage OILY TWO WEBE KILLED Eussian's Death Trap Searched for Other Possible Yictims, k. despatch from London, Enq., •lays : No other bodies have be^n discovered by the police i.n<l fire- •cien woh searched the ruins of Ihe house in ?tepiiey «-Lich v\as burned down on Tuesday <hiri:ig •the battle between the police and •firemen and supposed Terrorists. The police found r.vj Mauser revol â- vers and a number of cartridge â- boxes in the deb. -is The coroner of the Stepney d.s- -trict states offioiatly that only two todies have been fovnd in the ruins. All that was fouid of one of the bodies is contained in a handker- •chief. There was almost as much «x- â- cit«ment in the Lajr, end on Wed- nesday as there vvas during the siege of the Russians' deach trap. •Great crowds pusned against the police lines, striving vainly to get â- close to the ruii a of the house and Bee for themselves when the firi •men and police found any gruesome traces of the dead defenders. In 4Midition to keeping the crowds away ing the siege. the police had to clear the streets for traffic, and the two tasks kept them on the jump. It is believed that the house which the Russians made their for- tress, was set on fire by them when they found that the ammunition supply was runniae low and that their capture was i;':;vitable. After the flames had broken out fiercely there was a lull iu the firing for a few moments and then two shots were heard. It may have been that the Anarchists reserved their last two bullets for themselves. The story which was ciiculated Tuesday that the house had been fired by the order of Home Secretary Chur- chill is positively denied by the au- thorities. In the search for the Russians particular care had been e.xercised to discover any receptacle which might contain papers throwing light on the plans of the gang. If any such existed they were either to- tally destroyed with the house or were burned by the Anarchists dur- CONDENSED XEW5 ITEMS 0.\I'l'EM.\(;s FROM .iLL OYEn TU£ GLOBE.

Most A despatch from Ottawa says: The hardest section of construction in the eastern section of the Trans- â- continental Railway is at the head- waters of the Gatineau River, ac- cording to a statement made on Wednesday night by Mr. Gordon Grant, chief engineer. The actual construction may not be any hard- er than the rest, but the section, Dumber 13, is the hardest to get at. As a consequence the work is retarded. It is very difficult to get in supplies, and this section will te the last finished. By the end of 1912, with the ex- ception of this stretch of 100 miles, rails will be laid accorfding to Mr. Grant's estimate. The following year will be taken up in ballasting and finishing up and the line will be ready. THE FAITH CURE FAILED. Doctor waa not Culled in Time and Child Died.

Tho Mayor received » letter a few days ago containing informa- tion of the alleged plot, and giving tho names of some of those who were stated to be mixed up in it; and since then the Archbishop has received a letter, dppareiitly from the same party, declaring that it was propose<i to blow up the palace during the month of January. Both letters have been handed over to the authorities to investi- gate. Whether the letters are tha work of a madman or not has not as yet been established. Since th« large influx of dangerous charac- ters that has taken place into thii city the police have been on guard, but it is not thought that such vio« lent measures would be resorted toi.
