A despatch from Swan Lake, Van., says: One of the most ter- irible tragedies in the hiatory of (Manitoba, and one which nearly wiped out an entire family, occur- red on Friday morning on the farm of Edward Carey, near here, when Mrs. Carey, her five daughters, one son, and Miss Gillespie, a teacher in the Lake View School, who boarded with the Carey family, ^ despatch from New York says : were burned to death in a fire ^'«<^'^io" returns from Congression- which destroyed their home, while ''l districts indicate that the House Mr. Carey himself was so terribly "f Representatives m the 61st Con- injured in the awful holocaust that Sresa will stand :â€" 218 Republicans be «annot long survive.

A combination mail car and coach on the passenger train was tele- Rcoped, and one passenger, O. Tremblay, of Wheatlands, Que., was killed.

As 167 Democrats, giving a Republi- can majority of 57. The Republi- cans lost twelve seats. While there were Republican gains in some states, notably in Pennsylvania, these were offset by striking De- mocratic victories in Indiana and Nebraska. The latest returns ap- pear to increase instead of dimin- ihh Mr. Taft's bweeping victory. From present indications he has carried Missouri by 8,000, thus ad- ding eighteen more electoral votes to the Republican column. Mary- land, too, has gone Taftward, al- though it is probable that an offi- cial count will be necessary to de- termine the result of the balloting for the electoral ticket. Mr. Taft's probable vote in the electoral col- lege will be 327 against a possible 16C for Bryan, Colorado being still in doubt. Eliminating Colorado, with its five electoral votes, Bryan apparently has carried only enough States to give him 151 votes in the electoral college. Conceding Col- orado to Bryan, it is likely that Mr. Taft's majority in the electoral col- lege will be 171. â€" .â€" ^. â-  A hundred and fifty persons were drowned when the steamer Tadsh went down off Etero Island, on the Japanese coast.

P. R. tracks. One supposed cause of the fire is sparks from a passing engine. The top storey was first noticed to be in flames, but by the time the firemen arrived the factory was doomed. From there it spread to the Wright tannery, a frame building adjac- ent, then to the frame stables of the Leland Hotel, and thence to the hotel itself, and across the street to a number of frame build- ings. A terrible wind was blowing, and the burning embers and sparks were carried a block to the main street of the town, the fire break- ing out in two distinct places. Sev- eral business blocks were complete- 1:' destroyed, and the fire passed southwards, licking up several fine dwellings. By one o'clock the fire in the business section was under control, and two hours later all danger of the fire spreading in the residential section was removed. HOTEL AND TOWN HALL SAVED. The Copeland House, the largest I hotel in the town, is standing with burned buildings on both sides and its framo outbuildings all burned in the rear.
