A REIGN OF LIBERALISM
THE QUEBEC ELECTIONS. GOVERNMENT SWEEPS THE POLLS. (Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright.) OTTAWA, May 16. (Received May 17, at 10 p.m.) The Liberals, who have been in power in Quebec since 1897, swept the province at the elections on Monday, capturing at least 72 out of the 85 seats, compared with 64 at the time of the dissolution. The Prime Minister, Mr L. A. Taschereau, and the entire Cabinet were re-elected. The Conservatives censured the administration for not awarding special damages to the parents of the victims of the kinema disaster at Montreal.—A. and N.Z. Cable.
On the afternoon of Sunday, January 9, a fire broke out in the Laurier Moving Picture Theatre at Montreal. In the resultant stampede 96 lives were lost, mostly IFrench-Canadian children under 16. The occurrence was the greatest tragedy of its kind in the history of Canada.
