Mr. Hazen also told Mr. Sinclair that it had been decided to refuse the request of the lobster packers ot' the Maritime Provinces for a close season in the lobster fisheries

Two Vacancies Announced,
in British'Columbia and Prince Edward Island.
Senator Murphy Moved Ad-
dress in an Eloquenl Speech, Dealing with the War and Canada’s Part in it
(From our own Correspondent.) OTTAWA, Feb. 9.-A communica-
tion front the Clerk of the Senate was read in the Upper (Ihamber to-day announcing that the resignation of Senater J. E. Macllonnltl of British ('olumbin had been received, and that Senator .l. E. Robertson of Prince Edward island had not been in his seat for two sessions.
The Senate opened to-day when thc
address in reply to thc speech frotn the throne was moved by Senator Murphy of I’.l'1.l. The speoclt, hc said, conveyed the .gratifying knowledge that in this time ot' turret-gettcy t‘unnda was doing her duty. (‘a|nultt owed tt debt ot' grutltlidt-. to tho Duke mid fluchess of i7onn_uught for the init-rt-st they had shown in Cnluulinn affairs, and for const'-.ntlng to remain in tho Dominion beyond their term. The Prlttcess Patricia was to be congratu- lated for having given tier patronage, her name and a. set of colours to a. very gallant Canadian regiment, which was now proving its worth on the battlefield. The despatch ot' a Cuna- dinn contingent. the largest force that ever crossed the Ocean, reflected the merits of the Militia Department and the Government which sent -them. The Princess Patricia regiment had already shown them the quality of the men despatched. and it was satis- factory to know that there were 50,000 more such men ready to set out. He might be pardoned on calling attention to the fact that in propor- tion to population the little province ot' Prince Edward island had sent more men to the.front than had any other Canadian province. The time required the expediture of blood. ot' brains and of money. it was satis- factory to learn that the Empire was so well provided with all of them, and that Britain was so well able to lin- ance the war. Senator Murphy dc- clared that the British fleet had per- formed one or tft"e` greatest feats of war in clearing the sea ofthe enemy and keeping the trade and troop transport routes free to her friends, and the markets closed to the enemies of tlte Empire. From all parts of the Empire men were marching to the tune ot' Tipperary to join the Fench ami Belgian:-i to press back thc wave of barbarians who had overrun peace- ful__lands. Local differences had been forgotten ami men had shaken hands, shouldered their rifles and marched away together to meet the common enemy ami to save freedom to httmun- ity. Tile termination ot’ the war no man knows, but. as to the eventual outcome there could be no doubt. Freodotn would triumph. the Altice would bo victorious ami the German principles of military dominance would bc destroyed.
Senator Girroir of Nova. Scotia, in
seconding the address. commented upon the fact that two such ancient enemies as France and England were lighting shoulder to shoulder. Never before was there greater certainty of victory.
Other speakers were Senator
Rostock and Senator Lougheed.

DEATH Ai iiiiilii
PARIS, Jan. 27.- (Correspondence)
The Temps publishes the following story of the death of General Bridoux taken from the notebook of an army surgeon just returned from captivity ‘ln Germany:
"l passed yesterday through one of
the most touching experiences of my life," the surgeon writes. "General Bridoux, in command of our cavalry corps, died in my arms. 1 have seen many deaths in twenty years and l have read of the deaths of Plutarcli and of the generals ot' the etnpire, but I am convinced that so noble tt soul as that of (lenerul llridoux has rarely animated a moral.
“The battle was raging in at t'og so
thick that one could see no farther than 200 ynrtls. To better watch the operations thc general and his staff were approaching thc lines in their automobiles. Coming into a clearing the party sustained a heavy muskctry fire from a. party of Germans conceal- ed in a thicket. The cbauffeurs and two ordnance oflicers were killed out- right before the cavalry escort could intervene and drive the Germans tl- way. Genernl liridoux fell back in his seat with his hand to his breast. A bullet had shattered his shoulder. penetrating the body and pierced a lung.
"\Ve carried him into a log hut in
the thicket. 'i suffer' he exclaimed. ‘l feel very ill,' then he talked of his wife and children to the chaplain. but to us he spoke only of the army, of his soldiers, of his 'corps of cavalry that marched without horses and of which all the men are heroes.”
'General Bulsson. who commanded
a. division under llrideoux, arrived. 'My dear Buisson.' said the dying gen- eral. ‘I am about to die for my country _and l am almost happy since that will give you a command of which you are worthy. Don’t forget that our role is to advance, always advance and that we should do all the harm possible to the invaders who seek to annihilate our beautiful France. I have confidence in the final victory and i regret to have contributed so little to tt.
" ‘l die ,loyfully for my country.’ he
resumed after a paroxysm. ‘Tell the cavalry corps that the sacrifice of my life snouid serve as an example!

interval and then the general expired

Danger of Such Practice to

(Special to the Guardian.) _ \i'ASlllNGTON, Feb. il.--The ad-
ministration. in view of the holstllls ot' thc American flag on the British ship Lusitaniu, stated to-day that tho opinion of the highest. authorities is that thc use of other flags by ships of nations at war is a customary practice and no formal protest can be made. but that it will be proper to send to Britain a note pointing out the dang- ers to neutral shipping' which may follow, if ,such practice is continued.
L0.\IDi)N. Feb. S.-The use of thc
American ling by the llritlsh steamer Lusitanin, of the Cunard Line, in its voyngn across the irish Sea, has aroused grr-at. interest, and, although it did not mention this instance speci- fically, the British Foreign Office, ls- sued at statement to-night dealing with such usage in :t gtuernl way. it. ar- gues that the only effect. in the case of a merchnntman in flying a neutral flag would be to compel a belligerent ship to investigate the nationality of the vessel, and the character of her cargo, before capturing her. . it is pointed out in this statement also that by the Merchant Shipping Act of 1894. foreign. vessels are per- mitted to use the British colors for the purpose of escaping capture.
