A MONTREAL SENSATION.
MONTREAL, Nov. ga sensation
has been caused by the arrest OF
Adelard Noel, on the charge of using
threatening language to c. E. Soraty,
once under minister of finance and
president of the Bank of Lyons. As
president of the Bank of Lyons, he
declared reserve fund in gold when
in reality it was in bonds of the Un-
ion Generate. When the Union Gen
erale went under, Soraty escaped to
Canada, taking, it is said, something
like a million francs. He also
brought the wife of his private secre.
tary, so the story goes. They settled
there, where for the past few years
he devoted himself to literary work.
Adelard Noel, who styles himself the
head of the Paris police securite,
walked into Soraty's villa with re-
volvers and threatened to be avenged
on both Soraty and the woman who
ran away with him, leaving her hus-
band behind to die of broken heart.
MoRMoNIsM IN CANADA.
OTTAWA, Nov. 5.-Emigration from
Salt Lake to the Canadian northwest
has far exceeded the expectations OF
the Dominion government, who are
now beginning to realize the danger
of encouraging that class Of settlers
When this latest acquisition to the
population of the northwest entered
the country, they did so on the I'M
derstanding that they would strictly
conform to the laws of the country
and forever renounce the tenets OF
their own church as regards poly
gamy. Although the government be-
lieved that they would forsake all
their wicked ways, they instructed
their officers to keep lookout to see
that the laws of the land were strictly
observed. The restraint upon them
and knowing that they were under
the surveillance of the authorities
has, as far as is known, prevented
any violation of their promise to the
government. but they are now becom
ing dissatisfied and wish to return tC
their old ways, which they cannot dc
without violating the law. Word
now comes from the settlement they
have established that they will make
an effort next session of parliament
to secure such legislation as vii
legally enable them to practice in ex
tense the tenets of their church
There are almost fifteen hundred oI
them in the country already, anC
many more are anxious to come over
and settle. The government agents
report those already in the country
as most desirable class of settlers
whose little farms would do credit t,
the best class of settlers who hav,
entered the northwest, but that there
is trouble ahead for the government
in making them conform to the law
is quite apparent, and to this fact th,
government is not blind.
ABOUT LORD sACKvILLE.
WASHINGTON, Nov. Sit is tn
opinion of quite number of men il
this city connected with. the foreigl
legations, that the British govern
ment will soon promote lord Sackvill
to the rank of ambassador ant
assign him to duty at st. Peters
burg. If this is done, it vii
be about as emphatic al
act of retaliation as the British gov
eminent could adopt. Lord Sack
vile still declines 10 say anything TO
publication. He appears as usua
upon the streets for daily exercise

with all the cheerfulness that nigh
be expected of man recently falle
heir to 100000 per annum, even
handicapped by a diplomatic blundel
