In the Senate yesterday when Mr.. CAM
ERoN came out of the cloak room and hur-
ried to uhe seat adjoining Mr.. MITCHELL,
there was considerable speculation as to
the cause for such a hurry. Senator Nit
chell was writing letter when his col
league approached. Mr.. Cameron opened
the conversation in a somewhat excited
manner. There was nothing of jovial
nature in the talk for the cOuntenances of
both the principals wore very serious ex-
pressions. Mr.. Cameron did the most of
the talking and was emphatic at times,
clinching his fist and gesticulating vigor-
ously. Mr.. Mitchell took what was ap-
parently lecture in a meek manner or
only vouchsafed monosyllabic replies aud
an occasional nod of the head. There s
blood ON the moon, but Mitchell brake
bread and took salt with Cameron at tho
Farmers Club dinner yesterday, SO
that after all this exciting conversation may
have been only over some new agricultu-
raj methods.
