entertain Mr. Andrew Carnogio? Ho is

CANADA ANNEXATION.
An Ex-Mombor Says that Annex
ation Is Inevitable.
Chicago, April 11. F. L. Tho
baldan, nn ex-member of tho Can
adian parliament, who is in this city,
in nn Interview says: "Canada's
annexation to tho United States la
inevitable. Tho word Canada does
not alone mean that) certain part of
tho North American continent! it
means, in addition, a certain part
of tho North American people. Now
there is only a question. Shall Can
ada submit to annexation while the
Canadian people exist? or shall
sho wait until theso people have
moved over to the UnitcdStates and
then submit to employ tho form
ality of allowing her depopulated
country to bo annexed? Every"
effort has-been made to conceal the
truth regarding the alarming char
acter and size of tho oxodus to tha
Uuited States from Canada and
lower Quebec especially. Tho most
violent abuse has been heaped upon
thoso who havo dared to point out
tho danger of this state of affairs.
Priests have been telling tho gov
ernment tho truth,' and a fow news
papers havo hinted nt it. The
mildest term of reproach for these
honest people is that they aro unpa
triotic. Tho priests have fought
hard to atem tho tide of immigration;
falling utterly thoy have appealed to
tho government. Their action,
whilo perhaps not disinterested, has
been truly patriotic Wo cannot
much longer ignoro the facts they
havo presented, nor dispute the
ovldence. "Wo may sneer at tha
annexation of Canada, but all the
while the Canadian people by whole
train loads are, as individuals, an
nexlng themselves to theiJUnltcd
States. These immigrants are
almost without exception farmers.
They desert Canada because- they
aro being taxed out of existence.
Tho MoKlnloy bill has limited our
market, and tho farmers aro not yet
accustomed to tho new order of
things. Tho government giyes no
no heed to this. It attempts to pre
sume that tho country is better oil
without the discontented people
who leave for tho United States."
Did Its Work Woll.
Pa bis, April .10 Lieutenant
Anastay, murderer of Baroness Del
lard, who was executed yesterday
at 5:15 o'clock, died bravely. The
crowd watched Roquotto prison for
two ulghts. Tho officials who en
tered the cell at 5 o'clock to notify
Anastay of bis approaching execu
tion, found him fully prepared for
death, awakoand almost ready to go
to tho guillotine, having had a pre
vious intimation of tho hour. He
dressed hlmsolf without nsslsstance,
and mado confession to Abbo Val
ladier, who has been his spiritual
attendant slnco condemnation.
Anastay waa prepared for tho scaf
fold by M. Delbles, tho noted Parte
executionor, and his aides. Anastay
was ghastly palo, but went with a
firm stop to the guillotine. He sub
mitted quietly to tho executioner,
and the knife did its work swiftly
and thoroughly. Everything was
over at 6:35 o'clock. The father of
Anastay claimed the body with a
view of having a special examina
tion of the head to prove that the
murderer suffered from cerebral
trouble. Tho authorities, howevor,
refused to permit a speolal post-mortem
examination to bo held.
Successful Submarine Soat.
Detkoit, Mich., April 10. Tlw
nameless submarine boat which wmi
built hero tho past winter has
proved to bo a bucccss lu every
particular. With a crew of three on
board, the boat wan submerged,
going down gradually and under
porfect control of tho pilot. Under
water, the boat was able to attalu a
speed of over ten miles an hour,
turn around and rise or sink with
tho greatest case. In sinking op
rising tho boat maintained a hori
zontal position, a matter of great
Importance in a submarine boat.
Tho boat is equipped to ;ua by
steam power while on the eurrM,
but underneath the water, tta
motive force comes from a powerful
electrio storage battery, the eeUs
being charged by the same eagitM
that runs the boat on the aurfaoe.
The present boat was built only tut
an experiment. She k elgar-bed
with pointed eudsand compressed
sides, being 80 feet long, 14 feet deep
and 0 feet beam. It Is the Inven
