REPORT OF MAYOR PATTULLO
ON HIS MISSION TO ENGLAND

G.T.P. is Ready to Join with Province in Guaranteeing Bonds---
Hon. W. R. Ross is Coming up to Survey the Situation

The council chamber of the
city hall yesterday evening was
for a second time thronged with

people who had gathered to hear

his trip to the London money
market “in quest of the golden
tleece,”’

This time they heard a report,

which, if it spoke of the situation
in the money market in sombre
tones, had a brighter note in it

when it referred to Prince Rupert.

It would. seem from the report,
as Alderman Naden said when
tendering the congratulations of
the council to the mayor on the
efficient manner in which he had
conducted his trip, that “while
Mayor Pattullo has not brought
back a million dollars in his
pocket the general tenor of the

report appears to indicate some-
thing good.”

It would look as if the mayor
had negotiations still un-
der way and is waiting for a final
word before he announces their
nature. It might also be sur-
mized from the report that these
negotiations may depend to some
extent on the decision of the gov-
ernment whether it will join with
the Grand Trunk Pacific in guar-
anteeing the city’s bonds. Pros-
pects of this look bright, as Pre-
mier McBride has stated that
Hlon, W. R. Ross will leave shortly
to look over the situation.

On the whole the report struck
a cheerful note and gave hint of
a measure of which

some

When the bullock had finished
his bellowing and had relapsed
into a state of mere foaming and
slatbering, the mayor made a
speedy descent on him that set-
tled his business very nicely.

Mayor Pattullo spoke in quite
unruffled tones and with, in deed,
an almost steely urbanity. “TI do
not feel at all hurt by Alderman
Bullock-Webster’s remarks,” he
said, ‘for they are the result of

In accordance with resolution

At Chicago we interviewed the

a Toledo firm and were able to
somewhat expedite matters.

The Ladysmith Herald has been

publication.

When the troops reached Ex-
tension, where the armed strikers
then had fifty non-unionists be-
sieged in a tunnel, most of the
strikers retreated to the bush
and the besieged were relieved.
They were in a deplorable state,
having been without food or
water for many hours. Also, as
most of them are foreigners, they
were almost paralyzed with fear.

The day was a quiet one after
the troops arrived, although it
was feared that the arrival of the
militia would be strongly resent-
ed by the armed strikers and that
there was certain to be bloodshed.

It is rumored that some militia
have been sent to Cumberland, as

rioting is feared there. H. M. §8.
