Assembly at Versailles.The eve of the election finds the situation as respects the candidates as involved as it was at the beginning.The joint caucus to nominate a candidate for the Presidency ended today without giving an absolute majority to either Premier Poincare or Jules Pams, the Minister of Agriculture, and it is impossible to forecast tomorrow's result, although apparently the election lies between these two officials.The third ballot, taken this afternoon, gave Premier Poincare 309 votes.while M.Pams received 313.and five votes went to three.other candidates.May Be Now Candidate.Tt is thought, however, that the Radical Left may bring forward a new eandidate, or revive the candi- dancy of Antonin Dubost, president of the Senate, or ex-Premier Felix Ribot, if M.Pams does not win on the first ballot, for -vhich.it must be remembered, the Socialist, Edouard Vaillant stands, i.It.is explained that the .uncertain situation is due to the fact that a large number of M.Poincare's supporters would on no account vote for M.Pams, if the Premier withdrew, while none of the opponents of proportional representation, who support the candidacy of M.Pams, would vote for Premier.Poincaire, if the minister of agriculture retired.Apart from these, there are more than one hundred Right and Conservative Republicans, who were not present at the caucus, most of whom it is believed will vote for M.Poincare.And there are 75 Socialists who might vote for the Premiet on a second ballot, on account of his championship of proportional representation, of which they are zeilous ad vocates.M.Clemenceau Passes The Lie.A large meeting vf the members of the Republican Left was held late tonight under the chairmanship of ex- Prem.r Combes.At the opening of the session the discussion was exceedingly stormy, M.Clemeceau characterizing Ferdinanu Buison as \u201ca miserable liar.\u201d Calm having been restored, the delegation, including M.Clen.enceau, Caillaux, Combes and Mons, which had been sent to ask Premier Poincare, in the interest of the Republican party, to withdraw if Mr.Pams did likewise, reported that M.Poincare absolutely refused to do so, MORE CRIPPLED STEAMERS COME AFTERMATH OF ATLANTIC STORMS STILL BEING TOLD AT QUEENSTOWN.Queenstown, Jan.16.\u2014The British steamer Almerian, from Galveston and Newport News for Liverpool, came into Queenstown harbor to-day crippled and battered.On passing Kinsale she signaled that she was not uu- der control and needed assistance, but she arrived here under her own steam.The Almerian encountered a hurricane January 10.The next day she shipped a big sea which killed a sailor, swept the decks clean, smashed the steering gear and stove in the hatches.It appeared as though the steamer would founder before repairs were made.The Lord Erne, from Cardiff Janvary 6, for New York, tonk the Almerian in tow on January 12, but two steel hawsers snapped and she had to give vp the attempt.The Almerian then shaped her course for Queenstown.The British steamer Avala, from Fowey January 4 for Boston encountered the same gales.She was compelled to put back to Queenstown, where she arrived to-day in a disabled condition.Her rudder was broken, alt the boats were washed away and the deck was a mass of wreckage.A great sea knocked Captain Frankland off the bridge.Several of hip ribs were fractured.Five seamen were also injured and were transferred to a hospital.The ship will be docked for repairs.| The Weather # Toronto, Jan.16\u2014A shallow depression is central to-night over Minnesota, while the pressure is high along the Altantic coast and over the northwestern portion of the continent.The weather continues mild from the Great Lakes eastward and decidedly cold in the west.Forecasts: Lower Lawrence \u2014 Mostly cloudy and mild, with some showers.DAILY ALMANAC.\u2018Friday, January 17.\u2018Seventeenth day of year, twenty.seventh day of winter.\u2018Sun rises 7:24 a.m.; sets 16:25 p.m.Day 9 hours I minute long.Increase 29 \u2018minutes.Moon rises 11:31 a.m.; sets 2:16 am.Moon ten days old.High tide 1:16 a.m., rise 12 feet: 1.21 p.m.rise 12 feet 7 inches.Low tide 7:38 a.m.; 8:32 p.m.Anniversary Benjamin Franklin born in Boston, 1706.Fresh supply of New :aid Eggs.12 Fabrique Straet A EEE DOVE Ae LO ORR SSA ESE E0132 00000 VALIQUET'S Ws are now receiving from our Ste.Foy: Farm a daily Want Is better than a nios oup of Coifes, Vallqu t's Rolls and a Boiled Egg for breakfast ?Cu- 7 o'o'ook morning delivery will bring both Eggs and Rolls t) you in tim) for breakfast.e'olosk dellvary for your \u201cDaily Bread.\u201d loo Cream, Frozen Pudding, Sherbert, Fanoy Oakes, Small Sandwiches for evening reoaptions, VALIQUET\u2019'S RASE Eggs -

Ottawa, January 16\u2014Strong and patriotic speeches were made by members of the Consedvative party in the course of the naval debate to-night, The Liberal party was poorly represented in the debate and during the course of Mr.Cockihutt's speech the Opposition members contented them- velves with constant interruption and Messrs.Pugeley and Lemieux were often called to order by the Speaker, \u2014 \u201cDUTY\u201d NOT \u201cAUTONOMY.\u201d Mr.Cockshutt std thar the country was sick of the word \u201cautonomy\u201d which cropped up every time any proposal was made, and that the word \u201cduty\u201d should be allowed to take its place.Dr.Edwards (Frontenac) also made an effective speech on lie government side.Wien the House adjourned at 11-15 pm.the Hon.Mr.Pugsley was invited by a willing House to take the opportunity, but the adjournment was moved by Hon.Robert Rogers.Another feature of the proceedings in the House was the proposal of the Minister of Finance to devote part of the surplus which Jie will be able to snnounce shortly to the purchase of Grand Trunk Pacific bonds.He went | fully into the ecircamstances under which the late -Government was committed to responsibility for payment of the difference between the selling price of the company's: bonds and par.The second, reading of the Banking Act vif be taken up on Tuesday.2 Mr.Edwards On Navy.The debate on the naval bill was continued by Dr.J.W.Edwards, Frontenac, who, discussing Mr.Guth_ rie's suggested compromise, called attention to the cost of constructing even one fleet unit and maintaining it, and indicated the great difference of both items as between Britain and Canada.Ane te the mex- ber for South We on, there was very little difference between the proposals of the government and of the opposition, and they might be brought together.If that were so, then why all the tud-thumping of the holiday season?The difference, in his opinion, was that the proposition of the Prime Minister made for the unity of the Empire, and the proposition of the leader of the cpposition made for separation of this country from the Empire.Munroe Doctrine Unwarranted- Dr, Edwards, speaking of the Munroe Doetrine, said : \u201cThe Munroe Doctrine is an unwarranted assumption on the part of the United States.If we ever do come under the operation of the Munroe Doctrine we would have to pay dearly for it and [ for one would like to see the day when it will be swept away.\u201d Dr.Edwards concluded with an appeal to the people to vote the contribution.It was an additional safeguard for the farmers, for if the ports of England were blockaded by a foreign fleet irreparable disaster would be done to the whole Dominion.Mr.G.IE.Boivin (Shefford), said that the Liberals wanted redistribution, but whether they get it or not, they were ready to go to the country.Alluding to the simile used by Hon.G.E.Foster of a family of six, two of whom went to the firing line while others contributed in various ways to their needs, he declared that Canada would not be content to remain at home and give her prayers or even a kit.Unity of Empire Mr.W.F.Cockshutt (Brantford) made a vigorous defence of the naval bill from the point of view of Empire unity, and quoted part of a speech he had made in London before the Associated Chambers of Commerce in which he favored the policy of contributions.Ile deplored the lack of patriotism in Canada, and asserted that public men had not only failed to encourage men tn enlist in the militia or in naval defence, but had gone about the country preaching that this was the day of disarmament and arbitration.The debate was adjourned by Hon.Mr.Pugsley at 11.25 p.m.Grand Trunk Pacific Bonds.During the dar session, Hon.Dr, Roche informed Sir Wilfrid Laurier
