FOREIGN NEWS.
A Change Of Government in
Great Britain.
Gladstone Resigns.
Defeated on the Spirits Tax.
Salisbury Premier.

In the House OF. f.Commons on the
Sth, in the debate on the spirits tax,
the Right Hon. Sir Michael Hicks
Beach, Conservative. moved that
the proposed increase of the duty on
beer and spirits was incquitablc i'll
the absence of corresponding
addition to the duties on wine. The
decisive vote was taken on the
second reading of the budget, when
the Government was defeated by
264 to 252. The thirty-nine Parnel-
lites voted with the majority. A
large number of Liberal members
were absent, having no suspicion of
their party being in danger of
defeat.
A Cabinet council was held on the
following day, when it was resolved
to place the designations of the
Ministers in the hands of the Queen
at once. This decision of the Cabinet
caused the widest excitement in
London, and created a feverish
feeling on the Stock Exchange. Con-
soils declined SIC and Russian
securities fell one-half lower. The
Queen, being at Balmoral, in Scot
land, the House adjourned to the
18th, pending Her Majesty's answer
to the Cabinets designations and the
steps subsequent thereto. Notices
were at once issued to the officers of
the inland revenue department that
the proposed in crease of duties on
beer and spirits had been aban-
doned.
On the 10Th, Mr.. Gladstone an
nounced in the House of Commons
that the Queen had accepted his
resignation, and that the Mar
quis of Salisbury had been sum-
moned to Balmoral to be entrusted
with the duty of forming a new gov
crnment.
The latest advices were that the
Marquis of Salisbury had accepted
the Premiership, and was on his
way from Balmoral to London on
Sunday, the 14th, and was in earn
est communication with other Con-
servative leaders.
Dispatches from st. Petersburg
intimate that fears are entertained
there of a fresh dispute with cabi-
net containing the Marquis of Sails
bury and Lord Randolph Churchill.

BROKEN FAITH.

Labor immigration is not being
managed in a way to keep faith with
the people of this kingdom. Time
after time the nation has been in
formed that check was to be given
to the introduction of males out of
all proportion to females. Instead
of that being done, the situation is
being aggravated by every special
arrival of labor immigrants, and by
nearly every regular steamer from
the Coast. On May 10th we took
occasion to comment unfavorably
upon the small proportion of women
promised for the next shipment of
Japanese. The proportion was TO
have been one hundred women to
five hundred men. That was, remem-
ber, the promise, from official quar-
ters, accompanied by quasi apology
for the small number of women
in the lot. When the shipment az
rived the promise proved by the
performance to have been hollow
mockery. Thirty-five women to nine
hundred and thirty-eight men, is
simply an outrageous imposition
upon this kingdom. japanese immi-
grafton has been favored by some,
at least, of those who believed in
immigration for population. 1t was
represented that the Japanese were
teachable and progressive race,
with family institutions strong
national characteristic. Coming in
families, to q large extent, they
would form valuable element in
building up the nation. All such
anticipations are dashed by the
event. Great expense is incurred
to flood the country with cheap
Asiatc labor, when much of it might
be saved if the authorities put in
force the Vagrant Act. There are
hordes of idle Chinese on our streets
that should either be made to work
on the plantations for fair wages, or
be compelled to give their services
gratuitously to the Government on
the roads. The whole labor business
would seem to be at loose ends.
Male coolies are overwhelming the
nation and bringing sure and speedy
ruin to the native race. If there is
any national spirit still in existence,
itshould be invoked, at this juncture,
to save the Hawaiian country and
people.

DID THE CHINESE HAVE THE PHON0-
GRAPH?

A discussion has arisen among
those learned in Chinese antiquities
as to the ancient knowledge of the
phonograph. A description of it
has been quoted from a native COL
lection known as the "Tokien Mis-
cellany," and the following account
is given in popular collection of
stories called "Things of which
Confucius did not speak -
SIT was a bamboo tube covered
with a disc of glass and opened by a
key. After speaking into it several
thousands of words, it was closed
and carried to a distance not ex-
ceeding thousand Ii. On opening
it and applying the ear, the voice
was still distinctly heard carried
to greater distance the voice be-
came indistinct."
How far is this to be regarded as
description of something anala-
gous to the phonograph?

THE AFGHAN TROUBLE.

AuVlCcS from MerV are TO the C1cCt
that the Russians are taking the
greatest care to prevent foreigners
communicating with the Turcomans,
and have expelled Persians who were
supposed to be corresponding with
the Afghans.
The st. Petersburg Nouosti, June
/ 1th, confirms its statement that the
Ameer of Afghanistan is dead. 1t
says rumors are being received con-
tinuously, from the Caucasus and
Afghanistan frontiers, of the assas-
sination of the Ameer. The people
of Afehanistan are reported in a
state of great excitement over the
rumors, that include statement that
Ayoub Khan will take the place of
the murdered Ameer, through the
Vaccinations of Russia.
The Russian fleet in the Japan sea
has taken possession of a port in
Corea.
A CoPTIC YARN.
A Coptic merchant from Khar-
toum has caused excitement in Cairo,
by telling story that Gordon is not
certainly dead. This merchant was
present at the capture of Khartoum,
and says that the Mahdi's warriors
produced the head of the Austrian
Consul when he had demanded the
head of General Gordon as trophy.
When the mistake was discovered,
the Mahdi's followers were unable
to find any trace of the hero of
Khartoum.
THE sOUDAN.
A London despatch of June 10th
says: A sensation has been caused
by the publication of Lord Wolse-
ley's dispatches denouncing the
evacuation of the Soudan. He
warns the Government that on the
withdrawal from Dongola the whole
province will be given up to anarchy,
and will revert from civilization to
barbarism. The withdrawal, he
says, will not avert the struggle.
FL Mahdi in few years viii attack
Egypt. The years of internal trou-
bles in Egypt have been burden
and strain on her military re-
sources. The best policy, in both a
military and financial point of view,
would be to attack FL Mahdi at
Khartoum.
Eleven thousand refugees had ar
rived at Dongola, to the 10th, from
Khartoum and Berber. Ell Mahdi
is allowing Egyptian prisoners to
depart.
THE CHOLERA.
A cable special of the 10Th says
there are one or more cases of cho-
lera in each of fifty-one towns scat
tered among eight provinces along
the Mediterranean. The province
of Murcia had lightweight new

Portugal, France and Italy are all

A RELIGIOUS RIOT.
While the Corpus Christi process
sion was moving through the streets
of Montreal, where it is always con-
Quoted on scale of great magnif-
cence, q detachment of the Salvation
Army attempted to cross the line,
through the midst of the Irish Be-
nevolent Society. This incensed
the proccssionists, and they attacked
the little band of Salvation soldiers,
kicked the big drum into useless
ness, and severely injured several
of the army. Cries of "Shoot
them!" Kill them!" were raised,
and the police were hastily sum-
moned, arriving just in time to pre-
vent bloodshed. After the Saliva
tionists had been hustled back into
their hall, number of roughs re-
NAMED outside, threatening to at
tack the army when they came out.
The latter had to be escorted home
by the police.
