While the belfry chimes of Reld Memorial church incessantly tolled "Onward Christian the voters of Richmond besieged the polls with unprecendented zeal to cast their votes to either drive out or retain the 5G licensed saloons existing in this city. Every indication pointed to a record vote being cast not excepting the tremendous presidential poll at the last national election. Both the wets and drys conceded that fully 80 per cent of the total vote would be registered by noon. At many of the precincts a vote a minute was the rule and at one place 100 ballots had been cast by 7 o'clock. The "drys" wero making many challenges, but very few were sustained and but one arrest for illegal voting that of a foreigner was made this forenoon.

No Children at Polls. By special edict of the school board all children were kept away from tho polls, and this was significant in view of the "save your boys and' girls" slogan which cut a big figure in the campaign. Another significant feature of the election was the absence of women at the polling places, it having been decided by the "drys" that they should remain away. Tho women workers, however, assembled at the various churches' and there served toffee and lunch to voters. The weather was magnificent and while interest was at a high pitch there was no sign of disorder.

The drys were still maintaining unabated confidence, while the wets declared they could se. p( reason for reducing the prediction of victory by at bast 1.1' 00 majority. From an unbiased view point the concensus of opinion on the streets Tuesday seemed to indicate that the wets would win by at least a small margin.

EON DON, March 1M. Unionists reopened their attack upon the government in the house of commons this afternoon, forcing Colonel J. E. Seely. the secretary of war, to promise to lay before the house Wednesday all the documents in connection with the resignation tendered by den.

Hubert Gough, commander of the Third cavalry brigate in Ireland on Saturday, when hostilities in Ulster province seemed inevitable. Premier Asquith announced that the documents would include the written instructions to General Sir Arthur Paget, commander-in-chief of the royal forces in Ireland. This action, said Premier Asquith. would give the of commons an opportunity to discuss the army situation from all anerles. Kind's lTograni.

From reliable sources it was reported that the king his placed the following program before the cabinet for the conciliation of all factions in Ireland: 1 That Ulster counties be given an additional six years, making 12 in all luring which they might be excluded from the operations of the home rule till. That all army officers who resigned when civil war in Ulster inevitable, bo taken back without loss of merit. Unionist newspapers boasted Tuesday that the present outcome of the clash over home rule has resulted In a victory for the British army. "If tho Orangemen continue their protests with their threats of war home rule is dead." declared some of tho radical newspapers. On the other hand liberal organs claim that the Irish policy of the liberal government has been vindicated.

They promise that Premier Asquith will soon have another statement to make in the house of commons which will go far toward wiping out the existing hostility. Conference of Cahinet. There was a conference of cabinet ministers in Downing st. at noon when the situation was canvassed at length. It was subsequently reported that the troops which were rushed to the borders of Ulster will soon be ordered back to their original stations.

Alarm has. begun to show itself in the camp of the Irish nationalists. The future of the home rule bill is uncertain. Although the? government has pledged itself to pass tho bill, amendments may yet be added which will make the measure unsatisfactory to tho party which has been lighting for its passage. John Redmond and jither leaders of the nationalists have been asked to secure further pledges from Premier Asquith and the cabinet that the bill will not be further impaired than to srive Ulster province a temporary term of exclusion from the authority of the Dublin parliament.

Predict Dissolution Many persons in political circles did not hesitate to predict Tuesday that parliament will be dissolved beforo tho home rule bill becomes a law and general elections ordered. This and other political reports made their influence felt in the stock market during the day's trading and tho same shares were consequently depressed. The Irish nationalists will fight bitterly against such a culmination of events. Thev ridicule the claim of the unionists that 70 per cent of the army officers would desert their posts in the event of civil war in Ireland. Through the chaos which has so quickly followed the events in parliament last Friday when the unionists launched a vote of censure against the government, the fact is making itself more apparent daily th.U the liberal ministry is losing instead of gaining strength.

Even members of the liberal party are sharply criticising Premier Asquith for his home rule Chancellor Lloyd-George.
