Box 234, Milwaukee, Wit- CANADA Actively Engaged in Preparing Her Defenses. Every Fort on the Pacific Coast to belm * mediately Fortified. Montreal, Qux., July 36.— Great interest in the work of fortifying the Canadian ports on t be Pacific Coast has been aroused. The graving dock at Esquimault on Van couver Island, has been completed, the contractors having just handed it over to the Government, and it is now proposed to fortify Esquimault. There is ail insignifi cant batc*r there at present, but it is intended to erect a first-class fortress as a set off to the great Russian fortress of Petropolaupski in the North ern Pacific. Colonel O’Brien and a corps of Imperial engineers from Halifax have passed through Montreal on their way to British Columbia. They will survey Es quimau and Victoria Harbor with other points covering the Canadian Pacific Rail road Company’s part at the Pacific, name ly, Vancouver City. Sites for several forts will be selected immediately, and the armaments will be shipped from England at an early day. It will be remem bered that the first freight sent over the Canadian Pacific railroad was a train of monitions of war, sent by the Im perial ntliorities from Halifax to Port Moody. Bi C., which occupies only eight days in'transit. The British Government having adopted the Canadian Pacific rail road as the military route between England and the East, is deeply interesting in see ing that the railroad harbor on the Pacific is properly protected, and it is believed that millions will be expended almost im mediately in that quarter by the Imperial and Canadian Governments jointly. The ('anadiau Minister of Militia, Sir Adolph Caron, has gone to Englaiy. and it is believed his missiorqias largely to do with the arrange ment of the terms on which Canada and England will co-operate in the construc tion of thoso important military works. It is said in well informed circles that Can ada an 1 England will jointly erect the work, that England will furnish the arma ment. which will be first-class, and that Canada will supply the garrison in times of pea-'e. It is also understood that in connection with the defenses there will be the most modern torpedo service in the en trance both north and south of Vancouver Island. DESTRUCTIVE STORM.

Merrymakers About a Coffin Struck Do wn By Lightning. Ottawa, Ont., July 37.—During a terrific thunder storm which passed over this dis trict last night an appalling tragedy was enacted in a cottage belonging to Jos. God derau, about eight miles from here. God derau’s aunt had died the previous day, and last night several friends assembled to console the bereaved relatives. Lamenta tions gave way to hilarity, which seems to have driven away ail thoughts of the storm which was raging outside. While the mirth was at its height a bolt of lightning descended the chimney, and striking the coffin, which was near the fireplace, broke it open. Two young men, Eugene Gareau and Francis X. Bauvier, were instantly killed. The electric fluid then made the circuit of the chamber, causing the half dozen other occupants of the room to faint with the shock. It was many hours before any of them recovered, and consequently it was not until late this afternoon that the particulars of the tragedy became known THE SUCKING OF EGGS. A Popular Pastime in Khode Island Since Prohibition Carried. Boston, July 37.— An ingenious way of getting around the prohibition law in Rhode Island uvas discovered yesterday. Several cases of eggs were tipped off a truck bv*aecident Tremont street. On picking up the eggs from the street they were found to be made of porcelain, and instead of containing the legitimate pro ducts of the barnyard, they were filled with whisky, each egg holding a good square drink.

The number that have died is estimate l at 8,500. Since Saturday an east wind has blown off the Banks, increasing tie firm ness of the coast ice. A Woman’s Mistake. Pittsburgh, Pa., July 27.—Mrs. John j Prill, of South Twenty-eighth street, made a mistake yesterday which may cost her eyesight and disfigure her for life. She be . came greatly frightened when the terrible storm, which passed over this section, broke in its fury, and she ran up to her bed chamber for a vase of holy water with which to sprinkle herself, in the hope that in that way she might ward off impending danger. In the excitement of the moment and the semi-darkness of the room, she missed the bottle in which the w ater was kept, and seized one filled with sulphuric acid. S Hanged. DenverJ* ...
