MONTREAL, Quo., Nov. in.
Scores of prospectors lire dead and
ninny others dying on the trails
south of the Porcupine sold camps,
in northwestern Ontario, according,
lo W. If. McLean, a mining expert,
who arrived here today from tlie
north.
MoLcun declines that the men
either starved to death or'died of.
e.posnre.
The doiaiuion government's ngents
in (he gold ,ountry were powerless
in the l'aee of failure of supplies.
Appeals for aid failed to roaeh
civilization, ami .McLean urges the
authorities hero to send a relief c.-i
pediliou in the hope of .saving some
lives.
The story of the stampede from
Ihe Cobalt region to tho now Porcu
pine country surpasses in, horror the
suffering experienced y the gold
sockets, of the Klondike. When re
ports of the strike on tho Pnreeiipiuo
reached Cohnlt all who were aide to
pack provisions left for the now gold
district. Many curried only meager
supplies into a country where there
was no giiiiii'i and which was harren
and desolate. Owing lo the poor
roads those who carried plentiful
supplies were coiiiclled to abandon
them and rely solely on Ihe food
lhe could carry on their hacks.
Score, of persons arrived at Porc
upine without food and nimble to
hnv any. The prices of beans, bacon
and other staples were fabulous, and
with the coming of snow it was im
possible lo send provisions into the
cniap. A famine followed and the
sufferings of the prospectors were
(rightful.
According lo McLean, (lie gold
seekers commandeered all supplio.-.,
so that they might be distributed
eeiuallv. Kven this failed to s'uve
life, and McLean declared that moie
than 'JO persons had died in the
(.imii and that more than 100 were

LONDON, Nov. 1 (J. A .political
crisis wlnje prospect startles even
the conservatives in contemplating
faces Kugland today. A r.finnrehi
cal revolution, in addition to ihe rev
olution against tho house of lords,
hangs suspended at the pleasure of
King George, and should the king, as
it is generally reported today, re
fuse to create additional liberal
peers to provide for curtailment ol
the privileges of the lords, the
"gravest happenings ii cenluries in
the United Kingdom are expected."
It is reported that the, king will
not create the liberM peers, even
though the country should go over
whelrfiingly liberal at Ihe approach
ing general elections. It is believed
that he awajts word from leaders ol
the conservfttives and assurances
that they will support him in his refusal.-'
The' king arrived from Saudring
liiun this morning.
A serious aspect was giveil affairs
today when Lord Laiisdowue an
nounced that he would reipiest the
government to introduce immediate
ly in parliament a bill providing I'oi
Ihe deprival of the veto power of th
house of lords. This action wouli
seriouslv hamper the liberals.
If the government accedes to the
demand of Lord Laiisdowue, it would
precipitate tho question inuneriintcly
in tho house of commons, which is
not now overwhelmingly liberal, and
which also is not greatly antagon
istic to the house of. lords. If the
government refuses to introduce the
bill it would place the government ii
the attitude of going be I ore the peo
ple admitting that il feaied lo in
troduce the lord's veto hill before
election.
Commenting on the situation, the

coasted down more than a mile In tho air at (he rate of seventy-five miles an hour helped him to win
tho prize by tho narrow margin of forty-five seconds.
