Which VIII Cause Dissolution.
OTTAWA, Ont, July l4.-It has just leaked
out that the last meeting of the cabinet pre-
vious to the departure of Sir John A. Mac
Donald for the northwest territories was
strong one, and that the discussion on the
fishery matter grew so warm that personali-
ties between the premier and Sir Hector
Langevin and Mr.. Mcclellan were indulged
in. The premier criticised the action of the
minister Of fisheries in unmeasured terms,
and threatened to hold him responsible for
all the evil results of the trial of the Doughty
and Adonis in the vice admiralty courts.
Mr. Foster was defended by Langevin and
Mcclellan. 1t is stated on good authority
that Mr.. Mcclellan placed his resignation in
the hands of Sir John just previous to his
departure, but was asked to hold it until his
return, which he consented to do. It is known
that the cabinet has been much divided over
this question. complete reorganization of
the cabinet may be expected as early as Sir
John returns
