Government to Guard Against iiostile
Demonstrations.

garding lhe Car Ferry. I 0
(From our own Correspondent.) 0'i`TA\VA, Feb. 11.--An assurance
that the Government is taking steps to guard the Dominion against any hostile demonstrations by Teuton sympathlzers from the United States was given by Hon. J. D.~ Hazen in__ the liouse this evening. The subject wus raised by Mi' Fred Pardee, who drew attention to the newspaper iiesputcli announcing that among the offf-iieiis charged against. Franz llopp and others at Sun Francisco was a plot. to destroy the Sarnia and the _Si (‘lair 'l‘uniiel. Mr Pardee thought l|_ would ` be well if tho Government would give some assurance that precautions were being taken to guard against siicli an attempt and against any possible attempt to invade. Caiiudian t.erritory. __ “i ain very glad to bo able to give
my lion. friend the ussiiraiice that every possible precaution is being taken to see.thut points along the frontier which might be regarded as strategic points, where there is a danger of damage being done, are patrolled." replied Mr Hazen. “ There is u _scout service organized for that purpose and every vigilance is being observed. it cannot be conceived that tho United States would allow its frontier to be used as a base for an attack upon Canaduj’

ven ture that
in the St Lawrence would be carried on this year with the Montcalm and the Lady Grey. Replying to another question, he said that more than a year ago the Russian government had purchased the ice-breaker, Earl Grey, for use at Archangel and that during the your just ended the same govern- ment had desired to purchase the Minto for operations at t.ho same port. As the Minto would not be rc- qilired to keep a channelopen between Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia the Canadian government had sold it., provided it crew, and delivered it at Archangel. The new car ferry which has been provided for the service to Prinen Edward island was so con- structed that it could be used to keep the channel open.
Mr F. B. Carvell strongly criticized
the cnnst.riie.tlon of a. concrete wharf designed as a marine depot at St John at n cost oi' $260,000. Mr Carveil said it was tho most despicable piece of political jobbery he had ever seen. The concrete faces of the wharf were split the cracks being from six to eight inches wide and the face of the wharf run up and down over in waves of the sea_ Pnrtof the face of the structure was chipped off and it was so badly built that if the harbour bottom were sufficiently dredged at its side to allow depth for draught vessels to lie up to it, the wharf would fall into the sea. The Department had been afraid to erect a building on the wharf because they thought it would not last and as it was impossible for vessels to lic beside the structure because of the iron bolts which projected therefrom.
Mr Cnrvcli also criticized the whurfs
located in the St John River.
lion. J. I). liazcn in»roply stated
that not only was it possible for ves- sels to lie up beside the wharf, but the Depnrtmcnt's boats were actually doing so at the present time. The wharf had been built by the engineers of his Department. who had been in the Government employ for the past twenty or forty years, and they wero

A shocking accident occnrroil at
Cninbriiige last evening, when shortly before 8 o'clock the home ot' Mr and 'Mrs Henderson was completely de- stroyed by fire, their little grandson, Leslie McLean, aged 5 yours, being burned to death. The grandparents and mother of the child were at the recruiting meeting which was being held in Cambridge Hall, and during one of the addresses some one entered the hall and informed them of the .tlrc. They immediately left the meet- ing, which was temporarily interrupt- '_ed. The house was burned to the ground, only a few articles of furni- ture being saved. News of the accl- ,dent reached t.he Guardian as it was going to press, when i'ull particulars were not available.

prepared to justify both the choice of its site and the manner of its con- struction. it had been found unduly expensive to obtain a site in St John harbour, so the present one had been chosen and had proved suitable. It had been the first concrete wharf built in St. John and a settlement had developed in front of the structure. which 'caused a. certain cracking, but at the same time it was as solid as it oould possibly be desired.
Mr Cai-veil iuterposedthat in two
years the Minister o'f Marino would either have pulled down the wharf 'or built a new one around it. This brought Mr Hazen to his feet with a. unique proposition.
"Wili the lion. gentleman make a.
little sporting bet on the subject?" he asked, “ or better, if at the end of

The German statement was to the effect that Ger- man torpedo craft niet the British cruisers off Dogger Bank Thursday nigh and sank the new cruiser Arabia and torpedoed a second-class cruiser. ln giving out the German message for publication the Press Bureau append- ed the following:-“ The British Ad- miralty states that cruisers above mentioned were four mine sweeping vessels, three of which retumed in safety.
