Until now the Russians have insisted their eastern currencybe the only one in circulation in Berlin. To enforce this they in- stituted a financial blockade. freezing all western bank ac- counts.

Floyd Johnson, Aeneas Maclstn- ern. and l-f. A. Ebers. Dr. Lemuel Prowse said he per- formed an autopsy on the body of the late Lincoln Publiccve., Saturday morning. July 3i. Baiy was in l. moderate state of put-s. faction. There was one wound across right side of throat below right ear. That wound had cut the mastoid muscle and external jugular vein. It was about seven inches long. There was another down right side of face. It was about five inches long. Both hsd been made with some sharp .i- strument. There was no water in the lungs. the heart was empty o1 blood and collapsed, and tne stomach was practically empty. Witness said the absence of wat- er in the lungs did not preclude the possibility of death by drown- ing since a spasm cf the larynx might prevent the entrance 0t [water into the lungs. On the other hand, the absence of blood in the heart would cause witnes to believe that death was caused by external hemorrhage.

These, if not pressed on the convention floor, will at least occupy much time of committee sessions. It is certain that J. Watson MscNaught.

Finance Minister Ab- bott's ch ces are said to have been killed by his "austerity bud- get" and scarcely improved by his belated removal cf the special excise taxes on Saturday night. ‘Transport Minister Chevrier can count only on support from Ori- tsrio and Quebec, delegates of the other seven Frovinces oppos- ing him solidly on account of the freight-rate policy. Former Air Minister Power is still looked upon as a rebel and his leader- lhip presuge is reduced by the disastrous outcome of the Quebec provincial elections of which he- was campaign chief. Trade and ‘Commerce Minister Howie's name has scarcely been mentioned asCanadcb next Prime Minister. One reason for this is that as long as he holds sweep- ing powers as he does today, he is indifferent. as to who is Prime Minister in name. .
