CANADA CRIES STOP.

She Thinks the Liberties Taken by the United
States is Unprecedented.
TORONTO, Oct. 10.-The Empire, the
chief government organ in Ca lada, asks:
"Has it ever happened in the history of
the world that one country took such
liberties with the possessions of
another as the United States
is taking with Canada without
having first resolved upon going to war
with the insulted nation?" And after a
long argum emit in negative it says we are

although in the past we have
submitted patiently to tho United
States interference by methods
more offensive than language

The fact that fortunes in these days

the case OF a woman residing near Buffalo

township near this city. The section of
northern Ohio extending from Sandusky

Of acres of vineyards are cultivated pro-

wine, while the finer varieties are pat on

means of livelihood consisted of small

IT was reported in Cairo 8 fortnight

warn all tribes north of the equator shat
the Europeans intend to enslave them,
and that it is for their interest to obstruct

This seems like exaggerated gossip; but
DR.. Zucchinetti, of Cairo, Who was in tbs

THE president of the Bay State sugar
company at Boston makes no attempt to
conceal the fact that his refinery was

THE p Ersian minister to this country
has arrived in New York, and explains
that his mysterious disappearance was
simply due to notion he had of seeing
as much as he could on the way, so that
he took an unusual route and did not ad-
vertise himself. He Is the first represen-
tative of any sort that Persia has ever sent
here, and we probably owe him to the i'm
preston Mr.. Benjamin made on that
shah. His name is Hussein Ghoola Khan,
he is the son of the shah's vizier, and
talks little English and little French.

The Committee of the Emin Bey
Expedition had up to midnight
received no news of this reported
disaster, and they entirely discredit
it, They are of opinion that Mr..
Stanley Joined his forces with those
Of Emin Pasha at Wadelai in DE
cember, '87, or January, 'S8. Emin
Pasha expected to receive him in the
middle of the first mentioned month.
In the opinion of the Committee
nothing that has occurred, no news
that has been received, in any way
discounts the reasonable hope and
belief that Stanley has been able to
fight his way to Emin's we'll defend
ed post. 1t is quite possible they
may have eaten their Christmas
dinner together. This being so,
Stanley would rest at Wadelai,
probably until March, and then, in
company with Emin, begin his
journey to the coast. Their route
has been blocked by inter-tribal
warfare, and this accounts for the
delay Of news as to their progress.
eve have no doubt" said a we'll
informed member of the Committee
last night, to a representative of
The Daily telegraph, "that Stanley
is the White Pasha of whom we
have heard so much. Ills change
Of route n0rthward5 is accounted
for by unexpected opposition, and
his victories would in due course
travel t. KhartOum. 1t is incOn-
ceiyable that SO we'll equipped a
caravan as that which Stanley
commands, and under so discreet
and clever a chief, could have been
disastrously defeated, as you report,
and without definite tidings having
reached us. We have agents on the
East and West Coasts who could
not have been kept i'll ignorance Of
such an untoward event all this
time"
Furthermore, the Committee have
reason to believe that when Tippoo
Tib gave his carriers to Major
BartteIot, the famous Arab chief
vas under the impression that
Stanley had joined Emin Pasha.
If Mr.. Stanley had been killed be-
tween Yambuya and WadeIai, the
news could hardly have been delay
ed until now and it is just as
improbable that he and his escort
have been massacred since, or the
news of such a calamity, which
must also have overthrow Emin
and his forces, woulG have reached
the Expeditions agents on the
coast.
When do you expect to hear
from Mr.. Stanley, since you feel so
confident that he is alive ?" asked

that the idea of the accident having

out Of the question. That this latter
announcement is really accurate is
what everybody would wish, except
perhaps the members of the Russian

present there is no evidence TO show
how the Imperial train left the rails,
and the hypothesis of a deliberate at
