The elections in Nova Scotia have re suited as was anticipated. The light was made squarely and fairly on the issue of withdrawing from the Canadian Dominion. Parliament was dissolved for the purpose. The Premier...of Nova Scotia appealed to. ' the electors on a policy favoring secession. The result is that of the thirty-eight members elected twenty-nine are “seceders,” and only nine are iu favor of keeping up the Dominion connection. A majority of the seceders favor annexation to the United States, and boldly proclaim their views on this point. An association of anarchists, fifty in number, has been discovered at Hull, a lumber settlement across the river at Ottawa, Ont. Their oath binds them to burn, kill, and destroy, and they have been in communication with Chicago anarchists regarding the manufacture of bombs and dynamise.
