The Agitation for Separation Begun
i'm Earnest.



HALIFAX, June 16.-The vote for separa-
ton from the Canadian confederation yes
terday was far more overwhelming and
decisive than was realized last night. Only
one of the eighteen counties in Nova Scotia
returned a straight anti-repeal ticket, and
that was Cape Breton county, through which
the Dominion government is pledged to build
trunk railway connecting with the Inter
colonial Of the other seventeen counties,
thirteen elected secession candidates by
large majorities, and the remaining four
counties elected one man of each party. The
total result is 81 secessionists out of 3S men,
bers in the Legislature. The popular major
ity was over 6o00 votes Halifax and Var
mouth each give 1000 majority for repeal.
The agitation for separation has now fairly
begun, and its prosecution and effect on the
existing relations between Canada, England
and the United States will be watched with
the deepest interest.

chIcAco's SENSATION.
Disclosures in Regard to "Yerkes.
True Scheme"

CHICAGO, June 16.-The Daily News of
this morning prints four column article on
the north side railway matter under the head
ing "Yerkes-True Scheme" 1t says: "The
full intention of Mr.. Yerhes and the Phila-
delphia. syndicate in their pending negotia-
tions with the Doodle gang in the Chicago
City Council is at last disclosed. In less
than a month new company was organized
to seize the La Sale street tunnel, to CAPTURE
valuation and street franchises on the north
side, and indeed to swallow the North Chi
cago Railway Company. The organizers of
the new company control the stock of the
old. While the two corporations are os-
tensibly under separate arrangements, it is
fair to presume that the syndicate in power
in each is the same. What the Broadway
franchise is to the success of the Philadel-
phia syndicate in New York, the La Sale
street tunnel is to the same unscrupulous lot
of spectators in Chicago"
These disclosures have created great
sensation in the Board of Aldermen of
Chicago, but they are 10th to express an
opinion.

MUNICH, June 16.-The Pope has tele-

Prince Luitpold, regent of Bavaria, upon the
deather of King Ludwig. The body of the
late king was placed in state in the old
chapel of Residenzschloss this morning and
the public were admitted to view the re-
mains. The crowds which came TO have a
last look at the dead king were enormous
and beyond the capacity of the authorities
to handle in an orderly manner. The people,
in their first surge, crushed the guards and
ushers as it poured in in disorderly connfu-
sion. Many were knocked down and tram
pied upon and the coffin was soon surround
ed by people breathless with excitement or
crying aloud with pain. The doors of the
palace were finally forced shut and arrange
ments made for admitting 200 persons at the
end of each quarter hour to preserve order.
Under the new plan it was even necessary
to place at the entrance soldiers bearing
fixed bayonets For a while this incensed
the people sand increased the disorder and
danger, but they eventually quieted down
and awaited their turns decorously.
