01-
(From Our Own Correspondent.) | OTTAWA, June 19.-The contractl
which has been prepared for the res- toration of the Parliament Buildings provides for the completion of the structure in October, 1917. Twelve hundred men_ are at work with this end in view but the architects contend that it will be a physical impossibility to have the building ready before the summer or fall of 1918. The predic- tion persists that the next two sessions of parliament will be held in the Vic- toria Museum. The contract will in- volve an expenditure of some $5_000,
000 the tower of the restored building will be entirely reconstructed and will be finished off on the plan of the Bri- tish House of Parliament instead of being rebuilt according to its former style. This is to be done at the spe- cial request of H. R. H. the Duke of Connaught. One whole storey will be added to the building and»will make it tive stories ill height all round. This will give instead of the 38 per cent. more accomodation originally planned, upwards of 75 per cent. more space than was available in the old building which was badly congested.

PETROGRAD, June 19-Official
statement says. on the front of Gell- eral Brusiloff’s armies the enemy tried by counter attacks to arrest our advance toward Lemberg. In region of the village of Rogovltohe, south east of the village of Lokatchl. six versts (about four miles) south of the main road from Lutsk to Vladimtr_ Volynski, the Austrians in mass for- mation attacked our units and, break- ing through one sector of lighting front, captured three guns belonging to a battery which resisted bravely.to the last cartridge. On receiving re- inforcements we overthrew the enemy. recapturing one gun and taking 300 prisoners and two machine guns. In the region of Korytynitzky, southeast
one of our valiant regiments launched
a counter attack and put the enemy to flight. Meanwhile a section of light batteries posted in a wood in ad- vance, cannonaded the fllgitlves point blank. We took in this section three officers, 100 soldiers and four machine guns. East of Borohoff, south of Svi- nioukhi, we seized after desperate re- sistance a wood near the village of Bojeff, taking 1,000 prisoners and four machine guns. During attacks in the region of the southern edge of Itadziviloff the enemy received our troops with Jets of liquid fire. We took in this section yesterday_ 1,800 prisoners. Our troops having occu- pied Czernowitiz and crossed the Pruth at many places are advancing energi- tically toward the river Sereth, and have established thc position by oc-

A sad drowning accident occurred
last night about 10.45, when Mr. John D. Haslam,, a well known and respect- ed resident of Water Street, this City, lost his life. Mr. Haslam had gone oil board the Car Ferry steamer lying at Marine Wharf and in some unaccou: able way walked or fell over the stork of the ship from the lower deck. lt ap- pears this part of the deck was in shao- ow. Persons standing near heard the fall into the water and attempts were made to rescue him but he sank. im- mediately grapilng for the body was commenced and it was not until 12.35 that it was found. An inquest will be held this morning. The deceased was about 28 years of age and had been for some time past engaged in the fox bus- iness. He leaves to mourn his wife for- merly Miss Lena Heron, and one chilo, who have the sincere sympathy of the community in their sad bereavement

Asked Eor.
A good business like beginning was
made yesterday in the collection of Charlottetown's share of the $300,000 asked for to continue and enlarge the work of the Y. M. C. A. among the sol- diers recrulting and at the front.
A preliminary meeting was held yes-
terday morning when plans were laid for a whirlwind campaign to collect $1.000 in Charlottetown. At an after- noon meeting representative of the business interests of the city. sill teams of two each were appointed as follows:
No. 1. J. K. Ross and W. B. Ro-
bertson. '
No 2. R. H. Jenkins and L. E.
Prowse. No .3. J. A. Clark and Dr. J. H. Ayers. ‘ ' No. 4. C. H. B. Lungworth and S A. lvioileod. _ `i\'o_ 5. G, N. Hutcheson and Isaac, Culter. I
outlook last night it 'was predicted
front and in the interment camps in Germany the Y. M. C. A. has plantef a branch for the sole purpose of hel- ping thc boys. guarding them fro.. the temptation around them, provi- ding them with reading mattf-r. lette_ paper etc__ and in every possible way doing for them what the most solici- tous of parents would do for their sons. Men who have visited the camps, particularly in England, recog nizing the great need of advisory and helpful work among the young men. have given up their business to engai2-- in this work and some of the best known business men in our own Cam. dian cities are giving their service;
free for the sake of the boys.
Citizens 'of Charlottetown, it is
pleasing to know, are also taking it strong and tangible interest in tho work as shown by yeaterday’s res ponse. Lt is hoped that as a tribute ` to the 3,000 Prince Edward Islanders who so recently left the protection and care of their homes to face dimgerf moral as well as physical, dangers worse than those on the battlefield. thc few remaining dollars of the ex pected $1.000 will be handed in by thi: evening. He gives twice ,who give'= quickly and no dollar evercontributef to any cause has had more promise of a good retum than the dollars con tributed to this fund in which all Cc-
llada is sharing.
The solicitors cannot in the time
at their disposal call on everyone who is willing to aid in this work. it would facilitate matters greatly ii." those who want to help would cell up -the Secretary of the Y. M. C.

CHARLOTTE
Islander interviewed
Charlottetown has been visited dur- ing the past week by one of her suc-I cessful sons-His Worship. Mayor W. T. Henry of Edmonton. Alberta, whol is accompanied by Mrs. Henry. Ma- yor Hcnry is tho son of Mr. J. S. Hon- ry. of Charlottetown. who is now also a resident of thewost.
A representative oi’ the Guardian
had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Hen- ry yesterday and by dint oi' questions elicited some interesting facts in con- nection with Mr. }ienry's career and tho affairs of Edmonton. Mr, Henry before leaving Charlottetown was a. drygoods clerk in the store of Messrs. Perkins & Sterns. ln 1890 he re- nloved to Western Canada. locating in Calgary. where he continued in the dry goods business. Three years later lle pulled up stakes at Calgary and went to Edmonton. where he started a clothing and general dry goods es- tablishment. He conducted this busi- ness for fifteen years and then sold Vout and went into the furniture busi- ness with a partner, establishing the firm of Blowey & Henry_ which has developed into one of the largest con- cerns of the kind in Western Canada.
In 1901 Mr. Henry was elected a
member of the City Council of Edmon- ton and his rise to the position of 'chief Magistrate of that flourilhing
year for Edmonton. The Mayor' at that time was Mr. McNamara. who.
upon a teprnicality, _was untreated. He. _ran again or the balance of the year, Mr. Henry being nominated to oppose him. The result of the election was a sweeping victory for Mr. Henry, whose majority was 6,000. Mayor Henry ran again in the 1015 election, his opponent being Joseph Adair, ‘a pro- minent newspaper man_ Again the Prince Edward Islander was victorious by about the same large maiorityaa before. In 1018 he bad the honor of being elected Mayor by acclamatton. '

pointed by the City Council. The Mayor is always a Commissioner. This year there was but one commissions ‘ ill addition to the Mayor as againlv tive last year. The result was to re tluce operating expences of all utili- ties by about $3,000 and to bring abort some changes which worked to the ad- vantage of the city. Edmonton il now pursuing a policy of restricted er- penditure and during the progress o` the war will not make any heavy out lay, the city in fact being well provi- ded to meet every colltin gency.
Mr, Henry states that conditions in
the West are fact assuming norm~l again and tho splendid crop of laef. year has had a great deal to do in res- toring confldence. The prospects are good for another bumper crop thi; year.
Recruiting in the West. he aay=_
met with a very generous response. Edmonton contributing 18.000 men out of a population of 50,000. This is sail to be the finest record in the Empire Of this number a total of four hun- dred were civic employees. »
Asked ___i_l_s to his impressions oi
Charlottetown since leaving here lil 1890 Mayor Henry says that he sees quite a change in the appearance ci the city. , The large amount of pe"- lllallont sid_e_walk laid siovvll is the most striking change and thi improved con- dition of the streets is also quite no- ticeable. ” - ~ '
