The Canadian Pacific Strike.

The Canadian Pacific Strike.
WINNIPEG, Dec. 14.-Through the
indomitable will of Superintendent
Egan the Canadian Pacific is ena-
bled to overcome the effect of the
strike. Wheels are beginning to
move regularly. Three express
trains left this morning west, east
and south with the higher officials of
the company, at 7 o'clock. The in
convenience OF the public has been
comparatively insignificant consid-
ering the firm and defiant stand of
the engineers. Tney will not be
taken back unless they sign an
agreement with the company. News
papers express the belief that the
strikers have been frozen out, as the
company expect about 20 men from
the south. The schedule of wages
published to-day shows 134 engineers
earned an average of over $3.50 in
November, while some made over
$500 a month. Egan says the work
shops will be reopened as soon as
the business of the road is moving.

The proceedings of the Republican
National Committee are not charac.
terized by that harmony which issup.
posed to distinguish the gatherings
of the "truly loyal" Senator Frye,
of Maine, threw a firebrand in the
meeting in the shape of a resolution
which proposes 70 rearrange The basia
of representation in the next Nation
al Convention of the party. Mr..
Frye's proposition is to increase the
number Of delegates from $40 to $40
and in the redistribution the gain to
the Northern States will be ll3 and
the South will lose 81. Mr.. Frye's
object Is to give to the Northern
states, from which the Republicans
expect their electoral votes, a COM
handing voice in the Convention in
the nomination of Presidential can
didate. The Southern members take
offense at this and, to use a Western
phrase, are "bucking like cayuses,"
and insist upon the adoption of the
old basis of representation.
Pierce, of Rhode Island, made a
telling point against Frye's PROPOSE
ton in reminding members that if it
had not been for Louisiana, Florida
and South Carolina the Republicans
would have lost the Presidential
election in 1876. The announcement
must have produced q smile upon
the countenance of every one present,
but it was a telling argument all the
same. Had it not been for those
States, and the Kelloggs. and Fryes
and Eliza Pinkstons and the Return
ing Boards of that day, Tilden would
now be serving his second term as
President, the Star Route frauds
would have been nipped in the bud,
the thleving and rascality of the
bureau would have been un-
heard of. and hundreds of millions of
would have been saved to the |
country. It Is possible all this may
,avc flashed through the minds of
Vome of those present when Mr..
Pierce made his plea for the rights of
ne Southern States.
Mr.. Frye means mischief to some
ne In urging the adoption Of his
and that some one Is not

A STRANGE FIND
Relies of the Mound Builders Dug I'm

Relies of the Mound Builders Dug I'm
in Livingston County
Four miles south of Moofesville, in this
county. lives Mr.. Benjamin Kite, on what
has long been known as the old Mound
Farm" This farm has on it a rocky mound
that is about seventy-fve feet higher than
the surrounding level, but whether the
mound is a natural or artificial formation
has long been a matter of speculate on nv
local scientists. However this NAV be, re-
cent investigation by Mr.. Kite revealed
some very interesting archaeological
remains long concealed there, and it NAV
be tibet the mound is rich in such relies.
On Friday last Mr.. Kite was digging ,,on the
mound preparing to plant an orchard and
in turning up stone eight or ten inches
below the surface he had revealed to his
astonlshed eyes small copper kettle, and
on turning it up he was astonished to
find ahuman skull under it, in a good state
of preservation, and closely fitted under the
kettle. He also found section of the wrist
which was petritied and enclosed by
broad gold bracelet also five or six little
bells efsiver and one of gold. and a large
number OF berds some of glass and some of
silver and which after Mr.. Kite had strung
them made string of twenty feet long

were inspected by DR.. p. b. Evans, of
Mooresville, who is of the opinion that
they once belonged toa child eight or ten
years old. To whom these relics belonged
is only matter Of conjecture. as is also
the date OF burial. but 1t is known that no
Indians havs inhabited that section since
1881, the date of the first white settlement
of this county. Mr., Kite has carefully
gathered up the find, and of course prizes
them very highly. 1t has not been many
years since portion of the remains of a
Maotndon were found in that section of
the country, and some day intelligent an.
tiguarians may find the section rich In
relics of an extinct existence.

that the government originally recommend.

| duration TO Lord Cough But as the East
India company had signified to the crown
that they wished to reward by personal
grant of 5000 per annum the two noble
and gallant lords for their services it was
deemed desirable that the two pensions
from the state should be equal-viz. 60, 900
each. The next case arose in connection
with the Crimean war. In 1856, after the
death of Lord Ragland, government
brought forward proposition for a pension
OF f2OOO, to be extended over two lives.
On that occasion very similar arguments
to those lately heard in the house OF com
mons were adduced by Mr.. Williams. The
honorable gentleman said he did not OBJ

Lady Ragland, but he thought it was high,

that the reward for Lord Rag

officers who had rendered great services to
their country. Lord Rodney, for example,
only obtained G., 900 year and the same
sum was granted to the descendants of
