it was equally possible that the Company would do nothing.ILES FOR RIVERSIDERS CANADIAN CHAMPIONSHIPS AT TORONTO MOSTLY GO TO LOCAL CLUB.Toronto, April 23\u2014The feature of ; the final night of boxing at the Can- | adian Amateur Championships held at the Arena was the winning of five championships by the Riverside A.C.Only one out-of-town man won, that being W.L.Smith of Buffalo, who scored a knockout over J.Smith of the Beaver A.C., who succeeded in winning the 158-pound class, TWO NOVA SCOTIA GIRLS ARE BURNED TO DEATH Middleton, NS.April 23\u2014Two very similar accidents occurred in the Annapolis valley at about the same time yesterday afternoon.At North Kingston the seven-year-old daughter of Watson Smith.returning from school and seeing a fire burning in a Held.attempted to throw some hay upon the blaze, when her clothing caught fire.She was so terribly burned that she died in about an hour.At about the same time at Avonport the seven-year-old daughter of John Selby was fearfully burned, her clothing catching from a fire in the field She lingered until this morning, when che died xx 8 Th QUEBEC, THURSDAY, APRIL 24, 1913.GAS EXPLOSION IN COAL MINE KILLS 100 MEN MANY WHO ESCAPED BADLY BURNED 8AY MINE IS \u201cFULL OF DEAD PEOPLE.\" | Pitsburg, Aptil 23.\u2014Between 75 and 100 miners are believed to have lost their lives this afternoon as a result of a gas explosion in the Cincinnati mine of the Mononghaela River Consolidated Coal and Coke Company at Finleyville, 27 miles from this city.Only 78 men made their escape.Some of them , however, were badly burned.The bodies of several victims have been recovered.The mine is aflame.Rescue workis being carried on with difficulty owing to the fire and deadly fumes.The corps paterned after the mine force of the United States government.MANY BADLY BURNED.But few of the miners who reached the surface were in a condition to talk.From these little could be learned.Suffering from burns or fright the miners knew only that an explos- jon had occurred and that a large number of men were cither killed by the explosion or asphyxiated by the \u201cafter damp.\u201d : Several hours after the explosion seven foreign miners crawled from one of the entrances of the mine.All were seriously burned.They could give no connected account of conditions in the mine or their individual experiences.They all said that the \u201cmine was full of dead people.\u201d Business in Finleyville was suspended.The greatest excitement prevailed and practically the entire community rushed to the ill-fated mine.Relatives and friends of the men heneath the surface were frantic.Many of them had to be restrained.After à time a guard was placed, completely surrounding the entrances to the mine.and all persons except rescuers and mine officials were held at a distance.Fire Damp Responsible.A gas explosion is thought to have caused the disaster.although this fact has not been éxactly determined.Fire damp, it is said, may have heen responsible.Of the known dead all are Americans.\u2018They are John Green.Thomas Carter, son of William Carter.superintendent of thé mine: Robert Anderson.machine hoss;

Quiet And Without Naitonalists Vote (8Special to the Chronicle.) Ottawa, April 24 \u2014 The closure amendments were passed this morning shortly before one o'clock, by a | vote of 108 to 73, a Government ma- \u2018jority of 35.The Nationalists pres- vent voted with the Government.Contrary to expectations of a week ago and to the talk of the Liberal press, the closing proceedings and | vote were without special incidents.| The division, indeed, was a particu- coal company maintains à rescue i.oie one and outside of cheers ; ; for the party leaders as they voted ! and prolonged applause from the Government benches when the vote was 1 announced, there was no demonstration.TWO DIVISIONS.There were two divisions.The first upon the motion of Hon.J.D.Hazen that the previous question be now put.This was carried by the Government majority of 35.The Speaker then put the resolution amending the rules and it was carried by the same majority.The winding-up speeches of the closure debate came in the afternoon and evening, the speakers being Mr.Carroll, of Cape Breton.Hon.H.k.! Emmerson, E.M.MacDonald.of Pictoy, and Dr.Clark, of Red Deer.AH the Liberal speakers denounced the measure along the lines that have | become familiar.Sir Edmund Oslespoke for a few minutes, just

that the Austrian government has repeatedly, but vainly, tried to induce the Powers to consent to the Janding of forces from the international fleet to put pressure upon King Nicholas, He adds, that Austrian patience is now exhansted and that Austria insists either thet the Powers compel Montenegro to evacuate Albanian territory, including Scutari.or that Austria be given a mandate ao do

were understood by everyone at the time und were admitted reasonable because they put the commerce of the world on an absolute equality.an equality that the Americans have now attempted to destroy.The Clayton-Bulwer treaty was not abrogated hut simply suspended when the Hay-Pauncefote convention was ratitied.There is no provision in the treaty itself for its abrogation.To quote from the Trauscript

of circumventing politicians whose ideas on the matter of obstruction were much the same as those entertained by the present wild set of politicians as now compose the Ottawa Opposition.As the Minister of Justice has said, the great thing that we value in the British constitution is the right to have parliamentary government rather than government by minority and! continous appeals to the people.According to our constitution the electors have entrusted power and authority to the majority in Parliament and we cannot alter the whole system merely to please a fow angry and misguided politicians, As the Toronto News well says.the Government has a mandate from the people to carry out its naval policy.In the election manifesto which he issued in 1911 Mr.Borden stated that he would do precisely what he has done in regard to naval defence.lu response the voters sent Lim back to Parliament with a, majority of between forty and fifty.The Opposition | has insisted that the popular will shall not be im-i plemented.Mr.Doherty has very well asked if the! administration of public affairs is to erase just he.eause Laurier and his followers make long specchos.| shout like lunatics.wave their arms and generally | outrage the traditional decorum of debate.There is closure in Australia and New Zealandeverywhere but in the Canadian parliament.Mr CHndstone has defined obstruction as the determined | effort of a minority to resist the prevailing will of the House other than by argument.In justifying the! first introduction of closure in the British Parliament | John Bright said :\u2014'* No ministry in this House, with eur present rules.with our present hahits and under recent circumstances with which we are all familiar,, ean do what the constituencies expect from the administration which it has placed in office,\u201d Oppositionists have themselves to blame for their present condition.They did wrong to take the white whiskers of Wilitarg Pugsley instead of the white plume of Sir Wilfrid Laurier as their guiding star.The husiness of the country inust be carried on despite the machinations of angry partisans, : MORE DISHONOR.Under the caption, ** Lengthening The Record Of Dishonor.\u201d the Boston Transeript severely pelinkes the proposal of an American Senator that the United | States should settle the Panama tolls question ly abrogating the

may some time in the future bs abused, iu that desperate and despicable position.\u201d THEIR FAILURE EVIDENT, - A despateh from Ottawa saya: \u2018That the ex.cebinet ministers who have been so largely responsible for the obstruction of the Naval Bill have at least given up all hope of forcing an election is shown by the fact that they have distuissed the huge staff of clerks und stenographers which they employ ed to send | out campaign literature and prepare for the contest which they expected to bring on.A whole Hat in an Ottawa office building was given over to the Liberal headquarters work for several weeks, and fo positive | were Opposition members that they could dictate the | date of vlestion that orders went out to nominate can- | idates and tons of literature were sent out to be re- | leased at a certain given date.\u201d No ail the miserable bluffing of Mr.Pugsley's guerillas has come to nothing.The Liberals now ad- | mit that the game is up and that they have been badly ie beaten at every turn.Where they were bragging a short while ago that they had the Government and the country helpless they are now whining for sympathy for the \"under-dog\u2019 aud
