noUnlng DuG speaks SIMPLY OF the way
the matter has been done. Chairman
Boynton has expressed himself on the sit
uation In way to cause his friends to
doubt his reputed good sense. He said to-
day:
Please observe the temperature the day
you see Judge Moody or Judge Edgerton
crossing the threshold OF the senate cham
Der as senator's. We don't want admis-
sion with division, or admission at all.
What the president has said to me leads
me to make this statement. just what he
said am not at liberty to say, but the
effect OF 1t is as tell you.-
The Toronto Globes London CORE
spondent interviewed Sir John A. Macdon-
aid on his arrival there, who said: The
main object of his visit to the old country
was to gain a short rest. Dnring his stay
he hoped to give attention to one or two
matters OF Canadian interest, notably to
fishing and the reciprocity question with
the United States. AS to this subject, Sir
was, he admitted, by no means certain that
President Cleveland, s promised proposal to
congress for the appointment Of a joint
commission would meet with acceptance,
but he thought the outlook was favorable
as he considered there was much stronger
feeling in the United States in favor of
reciprocity than had previously existed.
Sir John apprchended no difficulty in com
ing to any understanding that might be
necessary with the imperial government,
whichever party might be in power.
In an interview few days ago Mr.. Cowen,
NJ. p, said: The Liberals would assume
office before March. This was u pity in
view OF Lord Salisbury's foreign success.
County boards would not satisfy Ireland.
If the Orangemen did not better the Tories,
the latter would speedily devise satisfac-
tory system OF home rules. 1t is not likely
that the Orangemen would allow the Wings
to prevent the Liberals carrying home
rule measure in the next parliament.
There would be a deadlock and certain dis
solution within eighteen months. The par
Lament would be uncertain and unsatis-
factory. Mr.. Cowen was in favor Of any
scheme of home ruling allowing the Irish
to manage their own affairs, while uphold
ing the integrity OF the empire. The first
act OF an Irish parliament would be to es-
tablish protection, which England would
probably not allow.
A dispatch has been received at the state
department from Minister Lathrop at St.
Petersburg stating that the gold-mounted
sword which the president sent by Lieut..
Shueltzfor presentation to Maj. Gen. Licher-
naeff, governor OF Yakutsk, was left at the
United States legation at St. Petersburg by
Lieut.. Shueltz, when he learned on his ar
rival that Gen. Lichernaeff had died leav-
ing no children. In accordance with the
subsequent directions Of the president,
Minister Lathrop presented the sword
through the minister of foreign affairs to
the emperor OF Russia. who accepted it and
directed it to be placed in the imperial ar
senel, there to remain as another bond OF
the friendship existing between the two
countries.
Senator Henderson s bill relating to pen
sions provides for the pensioning OF all
persons who served for at least one year
during the late war, and were either dis
charged after such term OF service, upon
surgeons certificate of disability, as no
longer fit for military duty, or after a like
term of service were discharged with the
re-enlistment clause stricken from their
certificate of discharge. The rate Of pen
sion shall not be less than 81, nor more
than SIP per month. 1t prohibits the re.
ceiving of any information touching q pen
sion from any person, upon agreement to
conceal the name OF the informant from
the applicant or his attorney.
Mr.. Gladstone says: Only an Irish par
lament will meet the case. Local councils
etc, would be useless. The right to vote
the acts OF an Irish ministry would be an
illusion. propose instead the exercise
OF sovereign power on the advice OF minis
tiers responsible to the Imperial parliament.
The suggestion OF an Irish privy council is
survives only as a relict. The substitute
is a cabinet. The questions OF commerce
and police are difficult ones, but the limita-
tions l believe that home rule may be safe
ly granted and that it would tend to raise
the charactes OF the Irish members.
Colon on the isthmus, OF Darien, has
been visited by a very savage cyclone,
which has done considerable damage. 1t

the steamers in port which had put out to
sea for safety returned and had again to

serious. The following vessels were sunk

Douglass and two others whose names
could not be ascertained. The rain poured
down in torrents, and terrible gale Of
wind from the northeast set in.
A cable dispatch from London states
that the decision of the privy council on
the license question was rendered. 1t sus-
tains the right OF the provinces to exclu-
sively control the issue OF licenses. This
decision invalidates the dominion act.

The inhabitants OF numerous towns and
