Threats of Secession.
CANADAs MARITIME PROVINCES STILL TALK OF SET
TING THEMSEI

The st. John, n. b., Globe, edited by John vellis
member OF the New Brunswick government, prints
highly significant article on Nova Scotia's deter
mination TO secede from the Canadian confedera-
ton. After reviewing the grievances OF that
province against the dominion, the Globe declares
that the weight OF public opinion ia New Bruins
wick is In sympathy with the people OF Nova
Scotia In opening the campaign In Nova Scotia,
Premier Fielding pointed ouI the untenable posi-
ton that New Brunswick and Prince Edward
Island would occupy In the confederation without
Nova Scotia, and asserted that IL was not only for
the best interests OF the three maritime provinces
TO secede, but that public opinion was ripe for that
action.
The Globe, which is the official organ OF the New
brunswick government, expresses its belief I'm
the soundneSS OF Premier Fielding's views, and
adds:
Early expression will be given I'm the province to
dissatisfaction with the existing condition OF
things. II is impossible that pubc-spirited peo-
pie like the people III New Brunswick will continue
much longer 10 submit quieScently 10 a political
adjustment OF the Canadian colonies which has in
1t so little OF benefit to them.
This is regarded as 2 Official announcement that
the leaders OF the present government party in
New Brunswick join hands with Nova Scotia In
favor OF secession from the Dominion and the Or

was engaged In Chicago Tuesday IN hearing tho
habSas corpus case OF j. III. Haverly, the aInuse-
ment manager, who was recently arrested on a
charge that he had forfeited his bail In New York.
From Hayerly's testimony IL seems that La 1853
he was partner with Gale a. Spader I'm New
York. He had hail interest with BILLY"
Birch In the San Francisco Minstrel theater.
He bought Birch out, and sold 10 Gale 4
swinded them. They sued him and obtained
Judgment for 81 03. Harry G. Miner and Thomas
Canary were his bondsmen. He appealed TO the
supreme court, giving bond, with Robert j. Brown
anc Frederick uagenmeyer as sureties. After the
judgment was affirmed Hayerly agreed TO pay go
every other week until the judgment was satisfied,
$500 being paid under these terms, Judgment
was then entered against Brown a. Hagen
meyer. The first sureties, Miner and Canary, then
began proceedings TO get hold Of Haverly though
they had not been called upon TO pay the judy
ment, nor had any proceedings been taken against
them. After several witnesses had been heard
and part OF the arguments made the case was post
poned TO Thursday.

The Closing Hours or shs Session.
lBy telegraph 70 the Dispefch.l

WASHINGTON, August 5.-The
south wing of the Capitol was unusual.
ly quiet during the day. The attend.
ance of members WAS small, and the
crowd that in past years filled the galle-
ries during the closing hours Of the
session WAS absent. 1t was observed
that when the message was received an
nounciug that the President had ap-
proved the river.and.harbor bill there
was an exodus of members from tho
floor, and those who remained spent
the tine in exchange Of pleassntries and
farewell greetings. Protiting by tho
experience of past years, the Spsakee
notified the keeper of the House rsstear.
rant early in the day that the saIe
Of intoxicating liquars would not be
permitted; so thirsty members and
visitors to the House satisfied their
thirst with lemonade and other mild
beverages. The object Of leading
senators throughout the day was TO
prevent any questionable legislation,
and the plan resorted to for that
purpose was, in the first place,
to interpose objections to requests
for unanimous consent, and, u.
the second place, to suspend busineco'
by taking . recess. Outside Of IL
passage Of Q couple Of bills removing
political disabilities and . bill to re-
licve some Michigan soldiers from the
disgrace Of dishonorAble discharges,
no business was done. There were
one or two iruitless attempts to get in
q resolution for extra pay for Con.
gressionsl employees.
When Mr.. Edmunds was about TO
start for the White House, 10 COM
psny with Dir. Harris and the House
committee, he enjoined on . few
senator's to object to everything in his
absence, and bis injunction was faith
fully observed. Tho only tendency TO
unpleasant manifestation in the closing
hours of the session WAS Mr.. Riddle
berger's objection to the usual resolu.
ton of thanks to the presiding officer,
but Mr. HAwley, who was in the chair.
stretched point and declared the reso.
luton adopted unanimously, in total
disregard OF Mr.. Riddleberger's de-
msnd that there must be . quorum
voting. There were probably not more
than thirty senators present at any one
time during the day, and the galleries
were just as slimly occupied Is tbs
floor was.

General Middleton By the Queen and
the vote to him Of e20, 900 BY the Cs-
madam Parliament, . feeling that hs
was undessSving OF such rewards has
been steadily growing. Il Is charged
that bis inoapscity in handling the Co
madam troops led 10 much Unnecessary
loss of life and delay in supprsssing tho
rebellion, with the resultant enormous
expense. He is credited with great
physical courage, but no strstegstical
ability. He is now charged With
gsrbling the reports Of the subordinate
commanders, especially those Of Gene
raj Strange, IN officer OF great ability,
who commanded the Alberta field force
and did much to Suppress the rebsllion.
The French press Of Montreal hes
taken up the cAse Of General Strange
very warmly, and the General himself
has written to the press complaining
of the injustice done 10 himself and
his command. One serious charge 10
that General Middleton omitted oil
mention Of the important engagement ae
Frenchman's Butte. The fact that Gen.
eral Middleton IVES greatly preiudicsd
against the French contingent in The
field serving under General Strange y
likely to lead to lively row. General
Middleton has just returned from Eng
land. and the Militia Department has
announced its intention Of calling on
him immediately for explanations.
