Washington, Nov. 16. The de
cline in food prices registered la
EaBtern cities Is attributed by Secre
tary Wilson of the department of
agriculture to the bumper crops this
year.
"The decreased cost of meat ,1c
here to stay," said Wilson today.
"Prices have not declined before this
because the farmers have not been
feeding their stock freely. Hay,
corn and wheat have been senrce.
Now corn Is plentiful, fodder abun

In parliament a bill providing for the
deprlval of the vote power of the
house of lords. This action would se
riously hamper, the llberasl. -
If the government accedes to the
demand of Lord Lansdowne, it
would precipitate the question Imme
diately In tho house of commons,
which Is not overwhelmingly liberal,
and which also Is not greatly antag

Commenting on the situation, the
Mornlyg News says:
f "In surveying theoretically tho
possibilities of the political situation,
one Is compelled to consider prac
tically the Inconceivable proposition
that the crown may ally Itself with
the lords to prevent the legalizing of
the people's judgment. Such a
move would mean monarchlal revolu
tion, added to a peers' revolution; in
such an event the gravest happenings
the country has noted In centuries

Montreal, Nov. 16. Scores of pros
pectors are dead and mauy others
dying on the trails south of the Por
cupine gold mines In Northwestern
Ontario, according toW. It. McLean,
a mining expert who arrived here to
day from the north.
McLean declares that the men
either starved to death or died of
exposure.
The Dominion government's agentB
In the gold country were powerless
in the face of failure of supplies.
Appoals for aid failed to reach civ
ilization, and McLean urges the au
thorities here to send a relief expe
dition, In the hope of saving some
lives. , '
The story of the stampede from
the Cobalt region to the new Porcu
pine country surpasses In horror the
sufferings experienced by the gold
Beckers of the Kiondyke. When re
ports of the strike on tbe Porcupine
reached Cobalt all who were able to
pack provisions left for the new gold
district. Many carried only meagre
supplies Into a country where there
was no game, and which was barren
and desolate. Owing to the poor
roads, those who carried plentiful
supplies wore compelled to' abandon
them, and rely solely on the food
tbey could carry on their backs.
Sores of persons arrived at Por
cupine without food, and unable to
buy any. The prices of beans, bacon
and other staples were fabulous, and.

with tbe coming of snow. It was Im
possible to send provisions Into the
camp, Famine followed, and the suf
ferings of the prospectors were fright
ful.
According to McLean, the gold
seekers commandeered all supplies,
so that they might be distributed
equally. Even this failed to save life,
and McLean declared that more than
20 persons had dlod In the camp and
that more than 100 were dying when
he left. At that time there was no
prospect of relief, and McLean be
lloves that scores of others have suc
cumbed to the hardship and hunger.
McLean, who has mined In Auwtra

Porcupine rush will reveal when tho
