ploslon occurred in the CLOAK room ut

unite. A large portion OF the roof WAS
blown of and nearly all the glass work
in the station was destroyed. Seven
men were sent to the hospital with
severe injuries. Extensive damage was
done to the surrounding property. Two
reports accompanied the explosion, the
noise being like the discharge from a
cannon and was followed by this imme-
date rush OF flames. The booking
office, cloak room and waiting room
were completely shattered aud in a con
fused mass OF debris. Luckily all the
trains had ceased running and only a
few persons were about the station.
The explosion at the Victoria rail-
way station shattered the windows Of
the Metropolitan underground railway
depot sixty yards distant, and the
fronts OF houses the same distance in
other directions were badly damaged.
The Victoria refreshment room was
wrecked and a clock eight feet high
blown from the wall and thrown six
yards. The streets in the neighborhood

part In interest with friendly relations
which exist between two counties. 1
could not presume there was any evil
dence from what you said of any want
of sincerity OF your part In moving
the resolution in question.

Attacks on Minister SARGENT.

London, February pa Berlin
correspondent in q communication to
the Standard says the independent
papers are bitterly complaining Of the
dishonorable semi-oficlal attacks upon
Sargent. who has never been popular
in official circles here. The inspired
press pretends that he is unpopular
merely rs a politician and not as a
scholar, like his predec essors. The
real reason, however, is that Sargent
does not regard his position as a secure,
but energeticslly fulflls his political
duties, which fact often occasions DIFF
hculties.

The Canadian Pacific,

Chicago, February 25.-J. Morquay,
premier province of Manitoba, is in
this city Ell route for Winnepeg. He
has been for some time past at Ottawa
III consultation with the dominion
government in regard to certain
claims which Manitoba is at present
urging for settlement. They are, first,
such an extension of boundary as will
give the province a port on Hudson lay.
Secondly, an Enlarged jurisdiction in
central public lands, Manitoba being
the only province in the dominion which
has not full jurisdiction over its
public lands. And thirdly, REIMBURSEMENT
of a financial basis on which Manitoba
entered the dominion on federation.
These propositionsIare now before u Sc
lect committee of the dominion cabinet
and Mr.. Norquay says he has no doubt
that a settlement will be satisfactory
to Manitoba. He said the chief sub
1ect of interest in Canada at present was
a grant of loan of 49,, 800, 900 to the
Canadian Pacific railroad. The road it.
self was security for the loan; and In case
did not become paying property 1t
would under the terms of the bill vir-
tually pass Int the bands of the do
minion government. Speaking of af-
fairs in Manitoba he said this dissatis.
faction which had taken root in that
province last year had ceased to exist
and this was u to lowering Of freight
rates by the Canadian Pacific. Another
cause OF complaint had been heavy only
on agricultural implements, which
had to DO purchased In the. United
States. This. however, could not be
avoided, for there had to be uniform
tariff and one province could not have
free trade while another tried protec-
ton. 10 time there would be recipro.
city between two counties and Mani.
toba would hail 1t. A great project
now is on foot and was contemplated
at the construction railroad from
Winnepeg along the line OF the Nelson
river to Fort Churchill on the Hudson
bay. Navigation was open Ave months
in a year, and with railroad connection
tn the bay the steamers could carry
grain to Liverpool in much shorter
time than at present. 1t would lessen
the distance 1000 miles for Hudson
bay penetrated almost to the middl,
continent. The distance to be ira
versed by this railroad would be abou
800 miles. Such a quick connection
with Europe would be as desirable 1
thing for Minnesota and Dakota as To-
Manitoba, and would 20 far to hasten th,
abolition OF the present tariff between
the two countries. 1t would he q grea'
