The accident was caused by a slight collision bringing down the glass of the hanson in which Mr. Chamberlain was driving. The window broke on his head inflicting 2 wound which laid bare the bone. A policeman ron dered first aid, and then the Colonial Secretary passed into the hospital near which the affair occurred. The surgeons put in three stitches and kept Mr. Chamberlain for two nights, on the ground that the jolting of a carriage might induce infammation or further hammothage. On Thursday, the patient returned home, still unable to work, but pregressing most favour- ably. The Colonial Conference of Premiers had to be postponed, greatly to Mr. Chamber lain's annoyance.
