OTTA\VA, Sept. 2.-Customs re-
ceipts for the month of August, accord-
ing to official figures obtained to-day.
amounted to $8,330,604,04. This total
is very slightly under that of August
1914, when the receipts showed the
result of heavy cx~warchousiug of
bonded liquors in anticipation of the
tariff increase. Very large quantities
of imported liquors it will be remem'-'
bered, were taken out of bond in an
effort to escape the heavier duties
which it was expected would be lm-
posed in the Finance Ministers War
Budget. Even with this abnormal
collection of duty on liquors the re-
ceipts for August last year exceeded
those of last month by only $53,202.50.

the fiscal year, as compared with
antlbillum months of last year, and

ex-warehousing which took place in
August. The receipts for tho fiscal
year amounted to $36,731,155-01. HB
against $37,125,639.92 for the corres-

Carl Schmidt, the man who is believed
to have been "second in command" in
the recent dynamitlng outrages at
Walkerville. Schmidt was arrested as
he stepped from an excursion steamer
to Bois Blanc island at five o'clock.
As Schmidt was being ferried across
tc Amherstburg, he placed his ha_nd

which he quickly threw overboard.
The movement. however, was not lost
upon the officers, who stopped the
boat and recovered the letter. it is
written entirely in German addressed
to a man with a German name in New
York city, and is signed "Carl."

The candidates for the Third Dis-
lrict. of Queens field a joint meeting
in thc hall at York last night. There
was a large attendance, presided over
audience was pretty evenly divided in
its allegiance to parties and all the
candidates nnd other speakers had a
tpatirnt hearing, receiving hearty ap-
Ipiausc at the conclusion of their re-
-marks. ~
The candidates addressed the meet-
ing in the following order:--Mr Mc-
lionalrl, Mr \’\'oods, Mr (‘handlcr and
Mr Fccliaii. The Opposition candi-
dntcs criticised the road ndministra~
tion. the despatch ot' oats, and the
Automobile Act, while the Govern-
mcnt candidates denied there was any
truth in the stories about ,the oats.
reviewed the record of the past three
and a half years, pointing out the bene-
fits obtained by the country under the
Mathieson regime.
Mr i-`r~clian said it was nonsense for
tho Opposition 1-anrlidates io say that
\\'4-rc thc Mnlliiosou Government re-
iurncfl ilu- autos would bo allowed to
run ovcr the Island. lic had the
nssurnnr-o of l\ir Mathicson. and he
If-ould give them his personal assurance
as well, that no road would be opened
to autos unless 75 per cout. of the
people voted in favour. The rlisstrlvls
in whirli the autos now run l`nvo\n'ed
tin-lr running, and those where they
wt-,ro prohibited would continue in the
enjoyment of their prohibition unless
and until seventy-five por cent. of the
voters desired otherwise. He pointed
out that Mr lingers, the Leader of the
Opposition, had refused to pledge him-
self to exclude the auto, while Mr Nash
of the Patriot had been loud in his
praise und coutmondation of those
‘districts which had already opened
tthoir roads so that he might enjoy a
joy-ri<lo when he so rl:-sired. lie
asked wlivtlwr it was reasonable for
lhom io export the Liberals to oppose
tho :ruins when iwcnty~oigl\t of thc
tltirly autos in (‘h:\rlollcto\\'n were
uwncrl by Liberals. lt was tho policy
of the Liberals to follow the example
of the present Government in rf-_spoct
to all m:iilt~r:~\ of public interest. They
had nothing new in their programme
_und they had spo<~lil<'aII_v declined to
‘pledge llici1\s\~l\'<-s to repeal thc Auto-
.inohilv Art. The country was far
safer in the hands of n (lovernment.
like .\lr .\l:\il1ir-son’s, who pledged him-
