The Canadian Government is main
tanning this winter on the shores of
Hudson Bay seven stations, with four
men in each station. These parties are
taking scientific observations, noting
the conditions and state of the ice, and
securing other data which will enable
the Dominion Government authorities
to determine how long during the sum-
mer season Hudson Bay may be EN-.
ployed as an outlet to Europe for the
products of the western provinces Ct
Canada. 1t is expected that these sta
tions, which have been established at a
cost of about 100000, will be main
tanned for three or four years, and that
they will complete tine survey of the
bay and strait, and of the most import
ant harbors and rivers. The evidence
of the Hudson Bay Company and of
many whalers shows that from twelve
to fourteen weeks of navigation can be
depended upon, and we have no facts to
show that the water is not open for a
longer time.

reprieve James NJ. Dennis, who is under sentence
to hang at Charlottesville on Sept 3, so that
the Supreme Court may be given an opportunity
to examine the evidence On tie motion
asking a new trial The appeal of the
case on this motion is based on a confession by
Coffey. who is also under sentence of death,
declaring that Dennis was not implicated in the
murder, and the Governor will doubtless now DO
urged to reprieve Coffey, so that he may be
available as witness until after the
case is disposed of by the court The
respite of Dennis postpones the date Of his
execution until Oct. 16 His counsel asked
for longer respite, but the Governor thought
that the case could easily be disposed
of within this time. The regular
term Of the Supreme Court begins Sept Is, and
it will doubtless give the case prompt considera-

torney- general of the Commonwealth will inter
pose to prevent the contamination of the bargain
between Mr.. Vanderbilt and the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, by which the South Penn
sylvania and Beach Greek railways comes under
the the control of the Pennsylvania railway.
Section of Article II of the Constitution spe.
officially prohibits the consolidation or merger of
competing railroads or other carrying corpora
tons 1t has always been held that legislation
was necessary to make the provision operative,
and during the eleven years that have elapsed
since the adoption of the constitution the Legs-
lature has persstenty refused TO adopt the
appropriate legislation. 1t is said that the pro,
cess which the Attorney general will
adopt will reach the question, notwith-
standing the failure of the Legislature
to adopt the appropriate legislation The South
Pennsylvania and Beach Creek roads We're
chartered by the State since the adoption of the
constitution of 1873 and consequently became
amenabe to its prohibition clauses without
additional legislation. The minority of the
shareholders in the two corporations to be alb
sorbed will apply to the Attorney general for
mandamus to prohibit the majority of share,
owners from disposing of the franchises granted
to the roads in that way, and the Attorney
general will rule in their favor and ask the
Governor to revoke the charters. The best
lawyers express the belief that this course will
defeat Mr.. Vanderbilt's scheme and compel him
to proceed with the work of building the roads
or forfeit his interest amounting to something
like 50, 600 coo.

DIR. Purd Difficulty.

The law relating to physicians licenses has a
tendency to cause doctors who have lost their
diplomas little difficulty in fulfilling the
requirements placed upon them. In this par
ticular the law appears to be defective. The
case of DR. Purdham is an illustration That
gentleman applied for license, but, having
lost his diploma the clerk said he
had no absolute evidence upon which to
issue the papers. Writing to the Ohio Medical
College of, Cincinnati, for another parchment
DIR Purdham received reply from the presi-
Gent of that institution to the effect that under a
State law the college faculty could not grant a
duplicate diploma However, certificate that
IL was an alumnus of the institution, was sent
Tnis certificate did not meet the en-
er-ency, as the law distinctly required
Axe diploma to be shown to
she clerk. DR.. Purdham then asked
Tor license under the three years clause, but
as he mas been here only two years he could not
yrceure the requisite afidavts of freeholders
that he had practiced here and elsewhere the
required time nor could he get affiGayts of citi
zcns 10 the effect that he was graduate of the
Ohio Medical. The certificate from that institu.
fon ought to sette the question, but it seems the
clerk cannot accept it as evidence.
