Sept- II The Laurier government and reciprocity .offered an overwhelming defeat In th. Canadian lections totUJT. - . Vr . political landslide the Liberal majority of 41 w. swept away and the Conservative partr secured one of the heaviest majorities, upward of SO. that any Canadian party haa ever had. Beven Cabinet Ministers who have eerred with Premier Laurier were amon the defeated candidates. The Liberal lot ground In practl eally eTery province of the dominion. Where the Coneervatlvee won their ma jorities were tremendous. Ontario, the leading- province of Canada, declared almost unanimously against the admin istration and reciprocity. Hardest to Be Premier. B. L Ilorden. leader of the Conserva tive party, will shortly become the Prime Minister of Canada. He will be supported In Parliament by a working majority of members far more than am ple for his purposes. The government defeat means that the Fleldtng-Knox reciprocity agree ment, ratltled by the American Con gress In extra session, will not be In troduced when the Twelfth Parliament assembles next month, and that re vised basis of trade with the United Plates, looking- to closer commercial re lation?, will not be possible In the Im mediate future. The Conservative are committed to a policy of trade expansion within the empire and a closed door against the I'nited States. Mr Wilfrid Retiree. Although re-elected In two constitu encies In Quebec, the defeat of the Liberal party also means the retirement from public life of Sir Wilfrid Laurier. who for nearly two decades has di rected the destinies of the dominion. Several times during the bitter cam paign which preceded today's election the venerable premier said that defeat of his party at the rolls meant the end of his career: that he never could con sent to lead minority' In opposition to a Conservative government. A Liberal membership of SI from Quebec was cut down to 3. which, taken alone, seriously threatened the supremacy of the party. But It was In Ontario that the Conservatives won their greatest victories. Anslha Talk r.STeeflve. Spurred on by the cry that reciprocity was the entering wedge for annexa tion, the Conservatives swept nearly everything before them. That province, which In the last Parliament was rep resented by J IJberals and 51 Con servatives, will send a dclecatlon to trie next composed of 11 IJberals and 7 Conservatives. A notable feature of the defeat was the Opposition's cap ture of two hitherto IJberal seats In Faskatrhewan.

It was re ported today on excellent authority that the matter of dissolving and reorganis ing the United States Steel Corpora tion Is receiving earnest attention from the Department of Justice and the legal representatives of the so-called "Bil lion dollar trust." There Is ground also for the assert tlon that the steel corporation Is mak ing strenuous efforts to meet the de mands of the Government, but because of the complexity of the situation, lit tle has been accomplished. The work of disintegration and re organisation of the largest Industrial combination ever formed represents a task of Titanic proportions. Many of the subsidiaries which helped to make up the corporation have lost virtually all semblance of their original selves and It Is considered almost Impossible to restore their original equities. Wasted Stock Replaced. It Is a matter of common knowledge that a large part of the $600,000,000 common stock originally represented little more than bonuses or water. On the other hand. It haa been admitted by Government Investigators that much of this Inflated value has been replaced In rectnUtaars b moneys taken out of earnings. In fact, the report of the Department of Commerce and Labor has virtually fixed upon a value of 150 for the com mon shares because of the millions put Into new construction, betterment, de preciation and so forth.
