Ottawa, May 22.---Unless the government is willing to abandon the Naval Bill an election seems almost cer- tain. In yesterday’s caucus the Liberals decided that the future welfare of Canada and the Empire demanded an expression from the people upon the proposals contained in the bill. It is believed the discussion of the measure by the senate will be opened today and that, it having been so fully debated in the house, the senate will not spend much time in its deliberation. It has been freely stated in the newspapers that it is the intention of Senator Lougheed, the head of the chamber, to move a similar motion to the one he made when Sir Wilfrid Laurier was premier, and which resulted in the last election. It is predicted here in some quarters that the government will go to the country within the next eight weeks.

The important business this evening is the election of dele- gates to attend the convention at Revelstoke, which opens on the 28th and, according to coast pa- pers, promises to be one of the most enthusiastic conventions ever held in the province. The importance of the meeting ALISM—SELECTION OF DELEGATES STOKE CONVENTION TONIGHT IS BOUND TO PROVE INTERESTING 1] AIR WI WILL STIMULATE LIBER- FOR REVEL- this evening is emphasized by the dispatch received from Ot- tawa today, which says predicted here in some quarters that the government will go to the country within eight weeks.” This will lend tonight's meeting something of the character of a campaign gathering, at which steps are taken to get the party in line and its forces thoroughly organized. Duncan Ross,” the Liberal candidate at the last el- ection, will be among the speak- ers, and the meeting is bound, under the circumstances, to prove one of surpassing interest. PRINCE ALBERT IS RAN ON REEF WHILE MAKING FLOAT AT HIGH The G. T. P. steamer’ Prinee Albert whieh left here shortly after midnight for Port Simpson and the nerthern parts -ef — the Queen Charlotte Islands met with an unfortunate accident while attempting to make the wharf at Port Simpson about four o'clock this morning. The steamer ran on a reef not more than two hun- dred yards from the wharf and is now resting high and dry. When the steamer struck it was running at almost half speed, according to the reports of the passengers who returned to Prince Rupert by the Venture at nine o'clock this morning. The passengers, who were asleep when the -steamer struck were awakened by the impact and at the same instant there was a most alarming list. The passen- gers rushed on deck in_ their night clothes and for a_ few moments there was considerable excitement. As soon as they learned they were so close to shore and the full particulars of the accident their fears were al- layed. The Venture, of the Union Steamship Company, southbound from Granby to Prince Rupert entered the harbor at Port Simp- son just about the same time as the Albert. The Venture made several attempts to pull the Al- bert off the reef buat without success. As the tide was falling further efforts were useless. Capt. O’Brien has wired to Mr, McMaster, the general agent at Prince Rupert, that the steamer is not leaking and that he ex- peets it will float at high tide to. night. When the Prince Albert left here last night it had an un- STRANDED ON ROCKS AT PORT SIMPSON LANDING—IS EXPECTED TO TIDE TO-NIGHT usually heavy cargo and the lar- gest passenger list of the sea- son. After the accident happen- ed the passengers, numbering over seventy, were transferred to the Venture and brought back to this city, arriving here at nine o'clock this morning. It is ex- pected that the Albert will re- turn here tonight and if not ser- iously damaged complete its trip to the Queen Charlotte Islands. Among those on board the Al- bert last night was a party of provincial government survey- ors, under Mr. Gillespie, en route to the district surrounding Na- den Harbor, where they expect to spend the next six months surveying a tract of 100,000 acres of settlement land. There was also a party of Ice- landers who intend engaging in the fishing industry off the Queen Charlottes. Thos. Deasy, Indian Agent, and EB. J. Tingley, of Queenstown, were also pas- sengers. An unfortunate feature of the accident is the disappointment to the St. Andrew's Society which had completed all arrangements on Saturday via the Prince Al- bert. If possible arrangements will be made for the Port Simp- son of the Hudson Bay Co., to make the trip. “La Mascotte” Tonight.
