Monk Demands Something Under the Surface is Delaying .the An- nouncement of the Opening Date of Parliament Borden s Naval Policy. cw. ALP. Ottawa, Oct. 17. A sieeting of the. Cabinet Council was held today and when it was over it was stated that the date for the assembling of Par- Uament had not yet been fixed. Tho delay in the announcement has led to the revival of the report that the House will not meet until January. It is probable, however, that no def- 7 inite decision hag yet.beon arrived at, The report that Hon, F. D. Monk will Tesign' before the House meets hay revived: The yeport naturally is connected with the consideration ot the naval question, it being asserted in some quarters that the Minister of Public Works desires to have the pro- life of-her husband but-he grew daily worse until he passed away and left the family of which he had been the mainstay, without a head. That was about two Fears ago. ae Dark days followed for te sorrow- ful mother, but she resolved to stay Dispatch) posal to grant an emergency-con' pation to the Imperial Exchequer, and submitted to a plebiscite of the Canadian people, It 18 stated that the proposal. which Premler Borden will submit to his Cabinet is the im- mediate contribution of thirty million dollars and the repeal of the Laurier Naval Act. This will constitute the temporary policy of the Government, the permanent policy to be brought down the year later, Whatever truth there may be inthe report that Mr..Monk may retire would appear that there is something under the surface that is delaying the an- nouncement of the date of the open- ing of Parliament. ete oh feos he oboe oop oe of ef 224 Ms. Bokowskt appeared to re- in Canada and, endeavor to bring up. her children in what comfort she could wrest from the fatm which she Sanguinely hoped would later be theirs.

Time: appeared to soften the crushing blow Bain much of the had been hers, Another Crushing Loss. As she-was-once-more securing a foothold in the struggle, another blow fell on her head. One of the children was taken down with typhoid fever. Again she fought the dreaded disease, doing the work of her homestead and maintaining the weary vigils by the bed of her suffer- ing child as well. Once more she lost the battle und saw a dear one stilled by death. With this fresh agony the neighbors feared she would Yield the fight,,but sustained by the Wonderful stores of optimistic deter- mination which she possessed, she took up the burden and strove to keep her home together for the two remaining children left her out of the wreck. Surrenders to Grief. For several months she maintain- ed the struggle: Then the neighbors fancied they noticed signs of weak ening. At times she was quite rat- fonal and bore herself with the old cheerfulness, but at other times she acted in a strange manner. She seemed to fear the loss of her home- stead. The neighbors continued to help her as much as they could for they had concelved an admiration for the bravery of the woman. They feared that the new state would grow but they also hoped that time would work a cure. During the past few weeks, however, they realized that th mother s mental trouble had Teached great depths. When in Carl- stadt a few'days ago her actions were 0 noticeably irrational that) they caused comment. Even under the disquieting conditions the nelgh- bors were still hopeful that the wo- man would regain her poise, so they made no effort to have the two child- ten removed from her. care.

Entering the building they reeled with horror at the sight which smote their eyes. Side by sige the bodies of the two children lay, and blood was on their faces and their clothes. The upper parts of tnelr bodies rest- ed in red pool. Near at hand lay the body of thp mother and there was great pool of blood beneath her boty also. Within reach of the wo- man s hand the two men saw p huge, ugly-looking knife. Clouts of blood were on the blade and on the handle. Story of Horrible Scene.
