Toronto, June 30.—In a speech before the Liberal Club last night Sir Richard Cartwright intimated that under the redistribution act to be introduced after the census, a minority representation clause may be introduced in order that the Liberals can secure repre- sentation in Toronto.

BURN CANADIAN Cruel Fate of Robert Swazey of Fort Sumner (Canadian Press Despatch) Shawnee, Oklahoma, June 30.— A Canadian named Robert Swa- zey, who located in New Mexico near Fort Sumner some time ago, is reported to have been burned to death at the stake by a band of Mexican badnits on June 15th. News of the cruel death meted out to him, was received here today by the mother-in-law of the mur- dered man. According to the letter, Swazy was held up by the men who cam armed and in a body. They said they had heard that he kept a sum of money im the house and demanded to know where it was kept. Swazey stoutly refused to divulge the hiding place of his treasure, in spite of all threats. At last in revenge the band took him outside and after beating him tied him to a stake. Still defiant, Swazey refused to bow to them, even when the flames were started. The British Government has been informed of the affair, and steps to avenge the cruel murder are expected.
