CANADA PREPARING FOR WAR.


The imperial Government Looking to the Safety
of Canada in Case of Trouble Over Retalia-
ton.
OTTAWA, Ont, Sept. 26.-Members
of the Dominion cabinet have been
summoned to the capital in conse-
quence of dispatch received from the
imperial authorities through Lord
Stanley, governor-general, asking for
information regarding the volunteer
militia forces and defenees of Canada.
All members of the government are
now in the city with the exception of
Hon. j. A. Chaplain, secretary of
state, who is expected to arrive this
week The British government it ap-
pears realizing that Canada is in a
semi-defenseleSs condition should any
trouble arise with the United States
over retaliation have asked for an eX-
tensive report of the armed resistance
the country could offer should there be
any trouble. The cabinet council will
meet in the course of a week or SO
on the subject by Sir John THOMPSON,
minister of justice will be submitted.
The Federal government since the re-
taliation question has become a live
issue here, has Weakened up to
a sense of their defence
less condition. Sir John Nc
Donald, premier, has asked the
people of the counties bordering on the
Ridean canal, which connects the OF
tawa river with the. great lakes at
Kingston, to petition the government
to deepen the canal which was built by
the British government after the war
of 1872, but has since became so shall
low that a gunboat could not pass
through il. The object of this move is
to open up inland water communica-
tion from Ottawa to the great lakes in
consequence of liability of the st.
Lawrence water route and the Grand
Trunk railroad being closed by Ameri-
can forces Immediately on the outbreak
of trouble. The adjutant general of
the Canadian forces, Col. Powell, is re-
ceiving reports from all parts of the
country concerning the condition of the
volunteer forces. It is understood that
at the next session of parliament the
government will increase the vote for
military purposes, so as to admit of ad-
ditions to the present volunteer forces.

READING NEWS.

READING, Sept. 25.-On Saturday a
smiling Providence favored Reading
with one of autumn's best of days. The
republicans made every arrangement
for the day, in the best possible man
ner for town without public hall. AT
l O'Clock republican flag staff, nearly
one hundred feet high, was raised and
the stars and stripes flung to the breeze.
after which the large congregation of
people were seated and the meeting
called to order by DIR. Morrison. H. F.
Holmes was chosen president of the
day. The Reading glee club then rem
deTed some very excellent music both as
to quality and sentiment to the pleas
ant satisfaction of the assembly. After
few remarks by the president he in
troduced Hon. w. w. Scott of Emporia,
who spoke for an hour and a half on
the present issue and the duties of the
hour, for us as American citizens to
preserve our liberties and cherish our
free institutions that have been held
sacred by our Revolutionary fathers and
preserved by our fathers and brothers
during the term of Office in which the
great republican party were in power.
The next speaker was Col. A. M.
Flory of EmpOria, who gave a full re-
view and explanation OF our need of a
protective tariff in order to preserve
! our industries, giving reliable statistics
to prove the fact.
And last, but not least, Judge G. b.
Graves was introduced, aud spoke from
half-past nine until eleven o'clock.
First, he reviewed the union labor
party, who desire all the taxes levied
upon real estate and let the personal
property go free.
Second, the third or prohibition par
ty. by telling story of what really oc-
CURED in 1888, in a conversation be-
tween some people from Indiana trav-
cling through Lyon county. and Judge
Peyton. The old lady, who was quick
to perceive the truth, said: "Some
people are good republicans as long as
they can hold office, but when they
can't they go over to the third party;
or that is the way they do in Indiana"
Third, he reviewed the democratic
party from the days of Andrew Jack
son down to 1888, and showed up the
corruption of the principles they adj
here to, being governed by solid
south, as we are.
The three men all did noble work in
defense of the great principles of the
republican party. and their remarks
are the topic of conversation on our
streets to-day.
Lastly. the judge set forth in a con-
clse, cOmmon-Sense way the principles
of the republican party and the good
reasons for supporting it.
Hon. John 10y of Americas, Free
mont Miller of Admire and w. j.
Combs of Hartford were at the meet
ing.
John Holmes, an extensive cattle
dealer of Chase county, Kansas, was
in town to-day and bought the Texas
steers shipped in here last week by
Major Hood.
The invitations are out for the mar
riage OF some of our young folks early
in October.
J. A. Stratton has bought the store
building that John Russey has occupied
as hardware store.

robbed stage coaches, rified mail bags,
and gone through sIs many as six com

without the slightest Inconvenience or
resistance has been killed. He was
shot by Mrs. Lizzie Hay. formerly Miss
Gibbons, at her home on the head prong
of the Rio Sabinal, in Bankers county,
last Monday. The scene of the occur

reach town until today, when Mrs.
Hay visited the city with Il company
of friends. She tOlG the story of the

Why the Treaty was Rsisetsd.

WASHINGTON. ID. c., Sept. A.-By
the rejection of the Chinese exclusion
treaty by the Pekin government
councils, also the act of congress sign
ed by the president on the 18th inst,
prohibiting the coming of Chinese
laborers INTO the United States, un
less the president signs the Scott ex-
clusion bill the old order of things
must continue indefinitely. The reasons
why China rejected the treaty were
told to Minister DENLY. and by him
cabled to the state department. For
diplomatic reasons it is not deemed as
possible at this time, pending consider
;ttions by the president of the Scott
eX fusion bill, to make the information
sent from the Pekin public. All that
has been made known is that the treaty
has been rejected. The facts, how
ever. are not a state secret, but are
known in diplcmistic circles in de-
tail. 1t has been alleged that the
amendments made by the senate to
the treaty as proposed by the admins
tration were Objectionable. They were
not, and the Chinese minister said so
in ii letter to the secretary of state last
year. Had il not been for these amend
mentS the Chinese minister would have
exchanged ratification last year. They
were ca0led at once to Pekin. but for
manly required CD6Y should pc acted
upon officially by the grand council of
the imperial government. To arrange
the documents in their necessary order
and submit all accompanying papers to
the Pekin government explanatory of
the senate's action, required several
days. The Chinese minister accord
ingiy arranged to be in Washington by
September 1St. The minister was adj
vised that the Scott exclusion bill had
passed the house unimOusly, and the
probabi ity was it would likewise
pass the senate. A synopsis of
the bill and the reasons alleged for
it's adoption were cabled to Pekin
The trouble with the other bill
had also been cabled, the operation of
which was made conditional upon the
ratification of the treaty. Neither the
minister nor his government could I'M
derstand the cause for this unexpected
act of discourtesy, and the minister
was at once cabled to remain in Peru
until otherwise ordered, that the Pekin
government might have free commune
cation with, him. When it was fully
known that the senate bad passed It
without amendment, the council de-
creed the rejection of the treaty, be
cause, after such an act. no self-re-
speeding nation could ratify a treaty,
the explicit provisions of which had
been violated by this act of one of the
high contracting parties.

time Howard reached the town with his
Eleventh corps, while north Of Gettysburg
and on the right rear Of the First corps
line on Willoughby run, Ewelps advance
was diminishing with Buford's cavalry. In
order to prevent this Firss corps line from
being completely turned by Ewell, Howard
advanced and deployed on both sides OF the
Carlisle road but he did not get so far Is to
form q straight line; In fact his line pre-
sented Q convex surface to the enemy, while
the latter overlapped the TANKS of the
Eleventh corps. Ewell then placed Eariy's
division across the right of Towards line
and at right angles to 1t. His own extreme
right rested on the Johannesburg road, about
100 yards north Of the right OF the First
corps, where the road crosses Oak Ridge, the
very ridge that the First corps was defend
ing againt Hill Planting . battery on Oak
Hill, the highest point Of the ridge, he had
the opportunity OF sweeping the First corps
line with it's fire, and this quietly decided
Oak Ridge in favor OF the Confederates.
