ilorn, who a‘,tempted to blow up the bridge over the St. Croix rivet' was nr- restetl today on a warrant charging him with tlefacing and injuring bulld- iugs at Vanccboro. 'l`hc injury to buildings was caused by the shctzk of the explosion when Von liorne ex- plotlt-rl a charge ot' tlynatnite under the bridge.

VAN('EliORO, Maine, Fab. 1l_--\\'er-

ncr Von llorn, who was arrested hero _iostcrtlay ufter_attettiptit1g to blow up the Canadian end of' the railway bridge between this town anti St Croix, N.ll., was carefully guarded at the immigra- tion office throughout the night. No formal charge batl been preferred :tgaitist Von IIorn. who claimed that he wus ati otllcer in the German army anti that he hatl exploded the tlyna- mitc as an act. ot` war. lie made no objection to his detention in custody ot' Dr-.puty Sheriff Ross of Wasliington t‘ount__v, but insisted that he had colli- mittctl no offence for which he could he cxtradlted to Canada.

'it was thought here that tho next

development in the case would ot-cur :tt Washington, where it was expected that iho~appllcation for Von llorn's t-xtraditiou. forwarded by the Cana- dian Government. to the British Am- bassador yesterday, would be present- ed to tho State Department. today.

Under the auspices of Canadian

officials, a court session was held last night. at McAtiain Junction, just across the New Brunswick border, at which testimony was ttiveu before police magistrate Luka Lawson, wlto later issued a warrant against Von liorn. A copy ot’ tho warrant was given to Deputy Sheriff Ross.

No service was made on the prison-

cr, the local authorities having decided that the warrant had no legal stand- ing unless acctinipatiletl by nu order l`or extradition.

'I‘hat he attempted to blow up the

bridge at_ Vauceboro on ordorn scnt him from Germany, was llic state- ment matio by Werner llorn, spenltlntz through thc liars of his temporary cell in tlte immigration building. lie add- ctl, i`urlhorm_ore, that details ot' tltc nefarious plot were sent him by mail and in following tltcm _ont he met a stranger at thc American sitio of the i1_l'.lt. hridgo ut at stated time on Sunday night anti reeeivetl from him tn. suit case containing eighty pounds oi' nitro-glycerlne.

(From Our Own Correspondent.) OTTAWA, Feb. 4.-The opening of

the second war session all the Domin- ion Purllslncitt proved to be a much more brilliant affair than had been nnticipttted. The decision not t.o have u. khaki opening, such as marked the special war session ot' August, was responsible for the presence of an unusually large number of people in brilliant uniforms. Thcsn lncludotl Admirals, Major-Generals and oflicers

lot' lesser rank. inclutliui-5 one Honor- ary Colonel, Senator Geo. Taylor, who appears for the first time in tho unil’orm ol’ a I.ieut..-(,‘oloncl. Mr linker. member for Bronte. and also in com- mand of the Quebec regiments in the second contingent. was tho only inerti- bor of the Commons who appeared in martial array.

The usual brilliant rtceno wa.; wit-

ness:-_tl in the Senate Cltamber, when the Contmouers were sttmmonetl to listen to the reading of the spcecii from the throne by His Royal fligh- ness the Duke of (fonnaught. _

Tile Governor-General was sur-

rounded by Privy Couticlllors, includ- ing Sir Roht. Bartlett, in Windsor uniforms, and officers of the heati- quarters staif, while tho Judges ot' the Supremo Court in their robes anti ornaments added to the brilliancy of the scene. On the floor of the House, in addition to scores of ladies. were the Consular representatives of all nations but Germany anti Austria.

As tho speech from the throne re-

lated entirely ‘to thc war, tio other lcgislution being toresltadowod. the reading of it was soon over and the. ceretnotiles in the Senate were com- pleted before halt'-past three o'cl0t»k.

When the members returned to the

lloust-. ot' tlommons, lion. T. Chase ,Casgrain, the Postmaster-General, and 'llon. P. E. Blontlin, the, new Minister Iof inland llevenue, were, introduced, ‘their sponsors being, Sir Geo. E. ‘l-‘ester and lion, (‘. J. llohnrty. Mr Stuart, the new i‘.onscrvativo member for South Waterloo, was then intro- duced hy Sir- Geo. E. Foster and W. Weicltel, member for North Waterloo.

None- of the usual formalities* were neglected, and no time-is being lost by the Government in getting down to ; the real business of the session, which _is to provide the source for carrying on Canadtrs share in the European struggle.

Sir Robt. Borden gave notice this

aftemooa of a resolution on which a Bill will be based approprlating $100,000,000 for war expenditures. According to the resolution the money will be devoted t'or tha following pur- poses.

IIOTTERDAM, Feb. 4.--“ln the

course ot' fighting on the Dunes during the last few days, the Allies have matic steady progress and gradually have proved their superiority over the Germans. This was especially evid- enced by the capture of Great Dune, but in other ways the Germans are bc- ing hard pressed. They have lost. several hundred prisoners, besides guns."

Attacks of the Allies have been

made with sutltlenness anti flerceness which astonished the Germans. who were only able in several cases to beat a quick retreat, after having render-_ ed their guns useless for immediate. service. Some attacks were so suc- cessful that they were able to capture some hundreds of horses stationed be- hind thc German fighting lines."

SUMMARY 0F THE SITUATION.

|` (Special to the Guardian.)

‘ t.oNoo.\:, Fen. 4.-'rite efforts ot the German Field Marshal, Von Illn- tlenhurg, to stop the advance ofthe Russians in East Prussia. and in the Carpathlans by compelling them to reinforce their centre west of War- saw has culminated in a desperate attack. Regiment after regiment, supported by great masses of artillery, have been flung against thc Russian lines. Both sides claim to have in- dicted heavy losses on their opponents and each reports progress. it is apparent, however, that while the Germans are' making every effort to get Hear Warsaw, the Russians for- the present are satisfied to hold their own and to inflict as heavy losses on their adversaries as possible.

Near llolitnaw there has been fierce anti continuous fighting for weeks, and the Russians claim to have taken one of the villages for which tin; in-mips have been contending. Meanwhile, the Germans ltavn sent strong rein- forcements south to check the atl- vnnce of the Russians, who are rc- portod to be south ot’ the main range of the Ctirpttthians, anti are thus again overlooking the plains of Hungary. The Russian Emperor left for the front to-day, while the German _Ein- peror is expected to proceed there after he has concluded his visit to Wilheltushavcn, where he has been inspecting the fleet and bestowing iron crosses on the crew of submarine U-21, recently operating in the irish Sea.

In the wt-st artillery continues to

play the major part. Each side makes occasional attacks which, according to official reports, arc invariably re- pulsed.

Tho surrender of Lt.-Col. Kemp and

other rebels, who have been receiving arms _anti support from the Germans in South-West Africa, and with whom they have recently uuarrelled, and the expected surrender of Lieut.-Colonel Moritz. wlto has been able to remain in the field by thc same means, will probably bring to ttn and the South African Rebellion atitl enable General Louis liotha to pursue his design of invading German territory in Africa.

lt in ofllelally announced that 1,165

British officers have been commis- sioned from the ranks since the out- break of thc war.

This step, the Atnbassa- dor explained, followed tho announce-_ ment that the Gcrtnan_G0verumenl_ had decreed confiscation of all grain and flour to conserve the nations t'ood supply. _

Ambassador Page said the British

Government had informed him that be- cause the steamship Wilhelntina, now bound i'rom New York for firemen with grain and other food, had sailed before the issuance of the German decree, un exception would be made in her case. The vessel would bo seiz- ed. it was said, but she would be re- leased and her cargo purchased at in- voice price; by the British Govern- ment. Warning was glven. however,
