MINISTRY UNHORSED RECIPROCITY BEATEN LIBERAL GOTERNMENT OF CAN ADA MEETS DEFEAT. 3embers of Cabinet Break Under Storm-Several Defeated for Reelection. Montreal, Sept. 21.-The Laurier government and reciprocity suffered an overwhelming defeat in the Cana dian elections today. By a veritable politcal landslide, the Liberal majority of 43 was swept away .nd the Conservative party se cured one of the heaviest majorities about 50-that any Canadian party has ever had. Seven c~abinet minis-* ters who have served with Premier Laurier were among thle defeated can didates. The Liberals lost ground in practi cally every province of th1 Dominion. Where they won, their majoriti?s were small. Where the Conservat.iVes won, their majorities were tremen dous. Ontario, the leading province of Canada, declared almost unani mously against the administration and reciprocity. Borden Next Premier. Robert L. Borden, leader of the Con servative party, will shortly become premier of Canada. He will be 'sup ported in parliament by a working majority of far more than ample for his purpose. The government defeat means that the Felding-Knox reciprocity agree ment, ratified by the American con gress in extra session, will not be in troduced when the 12th parliament assembles next month, and that a re vised basis of trade with the United States, looking to a closer commer cial relationship, will not be possible in ihe immediate future. The Conser vatives are committed to a policy of trade expansion within the empire and a closed door against the Vnited States. Laurier to Retire. Although reelected in two consti tuencies, the defeat, of the LiPeram, also means the .retirement from public life of Wilfrid Laurier, who f6r near ly two decades has directed the des tinies of the Dominion. Several times during the bitter campaign which pre ceded today's election the venerable premier said that defeat of his party it the polls means the end of his career. A Liberal membership of 53 from quebec was cut down to the supre mnacy of the party, but it was in On tario that the Conservativies won their vietory. Spurred on by dppeals to patriotism and the cry tnat recipro city was the entering wedge for an niexation, ;the Conservatives swept nearly everything before them. That province, which in, the last jpar:ia mient was representeg by 35 Liberals and 51 Conservatives, will send a delegation to the next composed of 13 Liberals and 75 Conserfttives. A notable feature of the defeat was the opposition's capture of tv ~ .hitherto aAberal seats in Saskatchewan. "Decisively De'feated." "There is no doubt that 'we have "been dicisively defeated," declared Sir Wilfried. Laurier early in the evening at Quebec to a group of friends who had gathered with him to hear the 1returns. "I gladly lay down the premiership, a burden whicn '.haie carried for 15 years. We believed that il akitng tharr zeciprMMt- ae ranigemeat we had done something which would be greatly to the benefit of the people of Canada. The electors have declared otherwise, and I bow -to their decision. I regret that we have been unable to carry reciprocity, which I still believe would have pr'o moted the intaterial advancement of Canada and would have promoted the growing friendship between the 'Unit ed States and Great Britain. How Sever, the country has spoken. We must bow to the inevitable and I cheerfuly do so." SOCIETY WOMAN A MANSLATER. Claims Protected Her Honor in Xill ing Student-Sends Three Fatal Bullets. Opelousas, La., Sept. 21.--Declaring that she had been insulted, Mrs. J. P. McCrea 'shot and instantly killed Allen Garland this morniing, in the McCrea home. Both are prominent socialy. The McCreas and Garlands are neih bors. Mrs. McCrea used a revolver and sent three bullets through Garland's back, any one of which it is thought would have been fatal. She is the wife of a division road superintendent of the 'Frisco railroad. -Garland's family is one of the most ifluential in this section of the State mun Garland was a near relative of District Attorney Gariand, of St. Landes Parish. -Protected Her Honor, She Says. Althought Mrs. McSrea alleges that she shot Garland to protect her honor, it is stated that the young man was seated in a chair in her room and that all three bul:s ent-2d his bo [v irom1 the rear. They were alone at the time, there being no eye-witnsses to testify at the coroner's inquest. A verdict. was rendered that Garland's death was caused by wounds inflicted at the hands of Mrs. McCrea. Mrs. McCrea has been placed in jail. Her husband is v. t. h.r. Ac cording to the sheriff, a ~,harge oti murder will be entered, possibly to-! morrow. Mrs. McCrea will have noth ing to say further than that she killed Garland to protect h'erself. Frequently Stayed in Rouse. Young Garland was a student and a graduate of Tulane University, New Orleans. It is said that be was a slave to his books and ared fo- ittle lse. Mrs. McCrea was frequently left: alone in her home because of business calling.her husband away. Cn these occasions Garland was culle-1 upon to rtay in the. McCrea residence, as a protector to Mrs. McCrea ani iAe children. I Today about 10 o'clock Mrs. McCrea telephoned to the Garland home and asked to borrow a spool of thread. It! was sent to her by young Garland. Garland lived with his frandmother, a widow of the late Henry L. Garland. HYDE SENTENCED TO DEATH. October 201 Date Fixed-Comniutation May be Asked. AndOerson, Sept. 22.-Samu,el N. Hyde, who was convicted of the mur der .of his wife, was this afternoon sentenced by Judge Prince to hang on Friday, October 20. When asked by the court if there was any reaspn why the death sentence should Oniot be pro nounced, Hyde, in a strong clear voice, stated, in substance, that the witnesses, referring to the mother of Mrs. Hyde and a brother-in-law, J. P. Moore, had sworn falsely when they testified ihat he had made his home unpleasant argd 'that he was cruel tol his wife; ~that'his wife was the only woman he ever loved. "If," he said, ,"the jury and court believe it to the best interest of my little son that I forfeit my life, then I am ready add willing to pay the pen alty." There are many who followed the case oif Hyde closely, who believ~e that he is not a sane man, and among these ther'e is some talk of circulating peti tions asking Gov. Blease to commute his sentence to life imprisonment. Leon L. Rice, who was appointed to defend the prisoner, gave notice to the solicitor of appeal to the supreme court, after Judge Prince had overrul ed his motion for ,a new trial. yde also .killed Mrs. Hyde's father the night he killed his wife, on July 18, last.

WATTS IN THE RACE. Will Again be Candidate for Associate Justice-Reasons Advanced by His Friends. Cheraw, Sept. 21.-It is extremely gratfying to his many friends throughout th'e State to know that Judge Watts is again a candidate for associate justice, the office to which he aspired last year. Thus early in the season letters and expressions of endorsement are coming in from sev eral directions, and they differ very little in the ground they take or the reasons they give for endorsing Judge Watts's candidacy. Following are some of the points made: (1) Judge Watts is the ranking cir cuit judge on the bench. (2) He stands high in the estima tion of the bar of the State. (3) He led the race in the contest before the legislature last year. (4) A larger proportion of his de cisions havpe been sustained by the su preme court than of any other circuit judges on 'the bench. A number of persons have checked up the supreme court decisions and found this to be the case, it is stated. The opinion seems to be that if there Is any just recognition of a judge's right to promotion, and of his eminent services On the bench, the of fice of associate justice, which was created by an act of the legislature last year, will fall to Judge Watts.
