England Demands a Reply From Rus
sia-A Serious Cloud Again Arising in
Regard to the Afghan FrOnti.r.
LONDON, Aug, 17.-In spite of the
| ofic,al denial 1t il he iieved In weil-in
formed Gil Giles that the Star daro Is Wiz.
tuslly correct In ,tating III 1t the gov
ernme1t has ash ed Russia for q yes or
no reply. 1t is not not like VI ow aver,
tina; such reply will be given.
The report that the gov erbment had
cided upon the immtd iate with
avail of the Afghan Boundary Com
mission is OH ,ialiy denied. The gov
era ment is awaiting Russia's reply re-
specting small portion of the Afghan
ndary Lot yet settled in the Oxus
District. Unal the ,eply has been re.
ceived no decision will be taken re-
spec lag the date OF the withdrawal of
the commission, but whatever may be
the nature Of the reply the com mission
will return to India before winter.
The ST. James Gazette says the cues
tion IL as far from settlement as it was
fifteen months ago. Russia claims Kha-
miab, and the Afghans refute to give it
up. A conflict is likely to occur at any
moment, the Gazette says, and it res ts
with England to say what 1t will and
can do to prevent it's allies from being
plundered. The task Of Lord Iddesleigh,
foreign secretary. will be easier when
he is relieved OF this useless and EN- bar
raising commission.

FROM NOVA SCOTIA.
The Result Of the Recent Elections.

HALIFAX, N. S.. June 19.-The excitement
over the political situation is increasing. The
total popular majority for secession from
Canada is 1900 out of about 10000 votes
polled. A decision so emphatic cannot possl'
bly, be misunderstood Flushed with such
victory, the successful party will make this
test question at the ensuing Dominion cleo
tion, and feel confident of electing an almost
solid delegation of secessionists to the,Ottawa
Parliament Then, after thoroughly ventila-
ting their demands in the federal legislature,
they will appeal to the imperial Parliament.
A prominent politician, discussing the situa-
tion to-day, said:
The best thing Sir John Macdonald could
do under existing circumstances was to place
Nova Scotia between the devil and the deep
sea. by SAYING: sYou have voted to go out
by large majority; now go. Nova Scotia
has been nothing but a leech on the federal
government You have on four different oc-
casions received better terms, and thereby
compelled us to give more money to the
other provinces. You, up to the present
time, received $2,000,o00 of expenditure in
public works and financial assistance more
than you have paid us. We have made you
system. We are now engaged in construc..
ting ship railway across the istnmus OF
Chignecto, trunk railway through Cape
Breton, and several smaller railways in other
parts of the province, at an expense Of
Several millions, besides giving you short
line to Montreal by way OF the State OF
Maine and are, further, spending 100000 to
drive Americans out of your fisheries, be-
sides giving your fishermen an annual bounty
of 100000. We will stop every dollar of
expenditure. Recoup us $25,000,000, your
share of the public debt, and go out OF the
confederation by all means. Canada doesn't
propose to be blackmailed any longer. You
will be left an isolated province of 100000
people, with Canadian tariff averaging 25

XLIXth CONGRESS- FIRST SESSION.
HOUSE.

WASHINGTON, June ~
On motion of Mr. Weaver of Iowa, a bill
was passed authorizing the construction OF
bridge across the Mississippi iver at
Dubuque.
The speaker laid before the House a mes
sage from the President announcing his ap-
proval of the shipping bill, but pointing out
defect which he discovered to exist in the
measure.
Mr.. Dingley of Maine. stated that he was
instructed by the shipping committee to in
troduce measure to remedy the defect
pointed out by the President, and he asked
unanimous consent to introduce it now and
put ii upon its passage.
Mr.. Morrison of Illinois, objected, and the
message was referred to the shipping COM
mittee.
The House then went into committee of
the whole, Mr. Crisp of Georgia, in the
chair, on the naval appropriation bill.
On motion of Mr. Herbert of Alabama. an
amendment was adopted re-appropriating
100000 from the surplus on hand to the
credit of pay of the marine corps.
The consideration of the bill having been
completed, Mr.. Golf of West Virginia, Of
fered an additional section, appropriating
$3,17S, ,046 for the completion of the double
turretted monitor This was rejected IA to
97.
The committee then rose and reported the
bill to the House. The amendments were
concurred in and the previous question or
dered.
Mr. Golf moved to recommit the bill with
instructions to the committee ON naval af-
fairs to report it back with an amendment
appropriating money for the completion of
the monitor.
The yeas and nays were ordered on the
motion, but the hour of 3 o'clock having ar
rived the bill was laid aside until Monday
Mr.. Morrow of California, then offered
resolutions expressing the sorrow with
which the House had received the announce
ment of the death of John +. Miller, late
United States Senator from California.
After eulogistic speeches by Messrs.
GIosvenor of Ohio. Holmes of Indiana, Tuck
Ell of Virginia, Butterworth of Ohio and
McKenna of California, the resolutions were
unanimously adopted and the House at Abs
p. IN. adjourned out of respect to the memory
of the deceased.

AT MEMPHREMAcoc.
Teemer Beats Wallace Ross.

At Lake Memphremagog, Saturday, the
second race was between Wallace Ross and
Teemer. The whistle was blown and the
brawny form of Wallace Ross was seen
emerging from the boathouse with his shell
He rowed at It's pounds. He received
great reception, as did Teemer Teemer
looked well, and weighed 165 pounds. He
took the water slightly in advance of Ross,
who was rowing 33 to Teemer's 80. Away
they went, both rowing beautifully. They
kept well together for half mile. when Ross
secured slight lead. At the three-quar-
ters Ross had dropped to 80, while Teemer
was rowing grandly at 80. Ross reached the
stake first in ION. 5os., and squared away
for home nearly length in advance OF
Teemer, when the McKeesport boy
Strengthened out. He began to show the as
tonished Vermonters what rowing was. His
oar blades rose and fell with machine-like
regularity, and his boat fairly flew through
the smooth water. Gradually he lessened
the distance between himself and Ross. The
latter was rowing in splendid shape, and
struggled manfully to retain the lead. Now
Teemer's PROV overlaps the stern of Ross
boat Slowly but surely the latter loses
ground, and at last they are on even terms.
Thus they row for nearly quarter of
mile. 1t seems as though it must end in
dead heat, but near the finish Teemer made
a last effort, and crossed the line winner by
half length. The winners time was 21m.
3Os. The judges were Messrs. P. S. Nc
Nally, W. j. Melefont and c. S. Fobes
Ross goes directly to st. Johns, Can, to
prepare for his race with Hanlan, which
takes place July 1st. He will in all proba-
bility accompany Teemer across about
