The worst fire /which has occurred”

Farquharson were des- troyed along with their -living oin- tents consisting of sixteen splendid horses and the st.able’s,entire supply of feed`,.sleighs, robes etc.
The building was a, mass of flames
when the firemen arrived. They -made
a quick response to the alarm, but the fire had gained such headway at the time of its discovery that to save the building or the unfortunate ani- mals was found to 'be an impossible task.
Six streams of water were directed
at the burning building--two streams from the hydrant at the 'Hotel Davies corner, two from the Victoria Hotel corner. and two from the centre of the King Street tblock.
A strong- gale from the northeast
was blowing at the time and the fire- men fought the blaze strenuously from the opposite direction and suc- ceeding in keeping ‘it from spreading to the adjacent buildings though sparks carried a block away caused small fires on the roofs of warehouses ou Pickard's wharf, Bruce Stewart & (‘0's,, ship-chandlery store on Lower Queen Street and n building at the] foot of the sume~sireet uscd by A.

(Special to the Guardian.)
OTTAWA, Nov. 8.-_The best poll-
ticnl asset of Union Government is the character and leadership of ‘tbc present opposition. No matter how unpopulnrfthe ministry may he with some sections ot' its followers, no mut-
cohesive for maintenance of union is invariably found in detestation oi' the opposition rooted in memories ol' 1917. -This was strikingly illustrated in thi House yesterday. The report oi' tht committee on Soldiers’ Civil Re-estab lishment, which the government madl- its own, was, unquestionably, unpopu- lar with o. large section of the House. On ’i‘hursdny a small-sized insurrec- tion developed aguiust it, Unionist nf ter Unionist rising in opposition; an. when the House resumed tutir.-y it seemed as though the life of thc Gov ernment, staked by I‘.lr. Calder on tht policy of no gratuities, was in som' jeopardy. As the day wore on, dc- mand 'that the matter be referred back to the committee for further consider _ ation became insistent. Mr. Hocken of Toronto, Major Andrews, of Winni- peg. .and others advocated such a course, and late in the afternoon, after Mr. Fielding had made one of his characteristically convincing speeches in support of the proposal, it looked as if the House was overwhelmingly inclined,-tliat way!
King Disliked.
Then Mackenzie King projected his
personality into the debate-and ev- erything was changed. Tile opposi- tion lcuder, apparently in an effort tr mobilize the l-louse’s discontent into it vote against the Government, mov ed that the rc-port be gent back to the committee for further considera- inn. The effect was amazing. Mr. King offered what many Unionist; wautcrl-hut no froui Mr. King. They desired to see the report returned, bu' if getting what 'they wanted involved having to tukc their leadership from Mackenzie King, they preferred to lot the whole thing gn. And so where five minutes 'berofo there was a seeth ing discontent and threatened bronch- cs of solidarity. there was now a clos- ing of the ranks to form u solid phal- anx against the ancient foe. Even Ma- ior Andrews, whose own amendment gave rise to much trouble, arose and withdrew it. _

the House in the lifetime of, thaxe- Isent Parliament. Mr. King not' ,` ly failed to make a breach in the`_Utiipn- lst ranks, he failed to hold the _support of some of his strongest foliowgfn: Mr. Pardee, Mr. Kennedy, Major ‘Pow- er and Mr. Copp-all four oppoaiiidn members who signed the committees report-refuse d to remain -in _ _the ri-louse, and they were Joined by Mr. Kay.

But that was not all, The division
marked the first vote to be out by he U.F.O. in Parliament, and it went for the Government Mr. Kenne- ly, who, it is interesting to note, was ‘ormerly a Liberal, etood'trp with'-his cross-bench colleagues for the linin- try; and the Unlonists (ave 'hifil a .rernendous hand. _ , Apart from being a decisive victory
lor the Government. the division Was. without a. doubt, n. personal defeat-for Mr. King. The truth is that ¥]|e'~”Iie\\r opposition leader is amazingly unpop- ular with the House. Mr. Fleldihl, who, in his speech, advocated practi- .-ally what Mr. King moved for, and he was applauded by hotlfsides of the House. Had Mr. King kept in the background and left Mr. Fielding to 'uovc the amendment in his stead, there is no question but that the divi- sion list would have had an entirely different story to tell. ‘ ‘ c
The result of the vote, from a legis-
lative and administrative standpoint, is that there a_re to be np gratuities, and the Government iirigiven a free hand to carry out the proposals which., the report oi’ the committee embod- ied. _
