NOTES FROM OTHER LANDS.
The Dispute about Crossing the q
r. Tracks.

| The Dispute A bout Crossing the VI
r. Tracks.
WINNIPEG, December 22.-The Su.
preme Court at Ottawa unanimously de-
cided in favor of Manitoba in the dispute
about the right to cross the Canadian
Pacific tracks. The decision is as fol
lows: The question referred to us by the
Railway Committee of the Privy Council
is as to whether the Provincial Govern
ment of Manitoba had the right to enact
legislation authorizing the Red River
Valley Railway to cross the Pembino
branch of the Canadian Pacific road and
the Manitoba and Southwestern branch
of the Canadian Pacific. In answer to
said question, this court having heard the
counsel on both sides, is unanimously of
the opinion that said statute of Manitoba
is valid and effectual so as to confer
authority on the Railway Commissioner
in said statute of Manitoba mentioned, to
construct railway as an extension of
the Red River Valley Railway crossing
the Canadian Pacific Railway-the Rail
way Committee of the Privy Council first
approving Of the mode and place of cross
ing, and first giving their directions as to
matters mentioned in sections ia, 175
and 176 of the railway act.
Great rejoicing is felt over the result.
~Crikpi Explains Italy's Policy.
ROME, December 22.-Premier Crispi
continuing the debate in the Chamber of
Deputies on the credit for defenses, de-
clared the bill had no special connection
with the international situation nor with
the triple alliance. Those who say we
ought to be the restraining factor
among the otner powers should
remember that task can only
be undertaken by the strongest coun-
tries. am unable to say whether
or not war is probable. My policy has
been described as venturesome, and by
some as a policy of provocation. 1t is
neither. 1 desire simply that Italy may
be considered what she really is-an
equal among equals. No special accusa-
ton has been brought against the Cabi-
net. 1 may state, however, that in ques-
tions recently discussed Italy's action
has met the approval OF the great powers.
In conclusion Minister Crispi asked for
an explicit vote of confidence in the
Ministry, which was accorded by vote
of 245 to 43.

WASHINGTON, April 29.-It seems to be
generally believed among the Republicans
In Congress that Blaine will be nominated
at Chicago. Interviews with large num-
Der of item all disclose the same expecta-
ton. They all recognize the fact that while
each of the other candidates has at most the
support of his own State, Blaine's support
comes from every quarter. They feel that
whatever the first few ballots may show
tne tact will be that the convention will be
Blaine convention. Just as soon as it be-
comes apparent that none of the other can
didates can obtain a majority of the
votes, Chauncey NJ. Depew, or some other
Blaine man, with a strong voice, is
expected to nominate him, when he will be
chosen with hurrah. The orator, whoever
he Is, will state that Blaine will only, and
can only accept unanimous nomination
l nat Is the sort of a nomination that will
Dee given him. He will then be on the ocean.

PICKING ACHIEF JUSTICE
A BELIEF THAT A TION
WILL BE MADE THIS WEEK.

The Chances of Speedy Confirmation
Said to be influencing the Selection
Samuel Dickson, of Philadelphia,
Said to be in High Favor With the
President
WASHINGTON, April 29-It is said to be
highly probable that a nomination for
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court will be
sent to the Senate in few days, and GER
tainly before the end of the present week
1t has been thought several times during
the past week that nomination would be
sent in on the succeeding day, but each time
something has occurred to delay final
action. The Supreme Court viii adjourn
for the term, however, next week, and it is
believed that this will cause the President
to bring matters to a conclusion, as it is de-
sirable that the new appointee shall take his
place on the bench before the end of the
term.
CONFIRMATION PROSPECTS.
The question of speedy confirmation by
the Senate is one of the most important
elements in the consideration of the nominee
for the chief justiceship. The President is
desirous that there shall be no delay in the
confirmation of whoever he shall name for
this office, and in order to prevent this oc-
curing is carefully considering every posi-
bic objection that can be urged against any
prospective nominee.
THE MEN TALKED ABOUT.
The persons VINO are being most seriously
considered in connection with the Chief
Justiceship, are Senator Gray and Messrs.
Melville Fuller, of Chicago; Putnam, of
Maine; Frederick Coudert, of New York,
and Samuel Dickson, of Philadelphia. Mr..
Dickson has been very strongly urged for
the position by members of the legal fra
ternity in all parts of the country.
STRONGLY BACKED.
Many well-kncwn lawyers have repre-
sented to the President that Mr.. Dickson is
in every way eminently qualified for the
Office, and though little has been said pub
liclv with reference to his possible nomina-
ton, it is known that the President has
been favorably impressed with what he has
heard of him. 1t is said that the name of
Minister Phelps is no longer being seriously
thought OF, so far as the Chief Justiceship
is concerned.
Some of the knowing ones still think that
the nominee will probably be a Western
man, but as it is now well known that no
member of the cabinet is to be appointed it
cannot be either Secretary Villas or Post
master-General Dickinson. AS the only
other Western man who has been men
toned Is MIR. Fuller, of Chicago, he seems
likely to be appointed if the West has the
call.

eating liquor, the twenty-five gentlemen
then present being witnesses.
AN OFFER OF $1,000.

will prove that one drop of wine was Of
fered; or will give that amount to any
charitable institution that may be named
by any respectable clergyman, lawyer, or
detective, such person being the judge in
the whole matter. That which l suppose
was told as joke, is being used all over
the land to give the impression that tenn
perance men are hypocrites, l respectfully
ask that the newspapers which have been
mlsled by the report correct it,"
