1t resembled in shape the ordinary bars
of that precious metal, but when 1t was
placed in the hands of the as

spurious and of little value. A closer ex-

SENSATION I'm MANITOBA.
Lieut.-Gov. Schultz Declines to Call a
Session of the LegisI Atmre.


A Winnipeg, Man, dispatch of the
9th says: \ great sensation was caused
here tonight bv the publication of the
following: SIT has been learned from
undoubted authority that Lieut. Gov.
schultz, although advised week a-o to
call the legislature for dispatch of busi-
ness next Monday, has SO far declined
% accept the advice OF his constitution
ii advisers, thereby forcing a crisis on
the government, that it is understood
that members ofthe cabinet contemplate
immediate resignation. The govern
ment, it is learned, were anxious to
have the House in session to assist them
in securing the necessary legislation to
back up their position On the railway
question, should the injunction be oIs-
solved His honor was advised some
time ago to summon the House, but so
far the advice has not been followed
and the proclamation is still unsigned.
If the government resigns, as seems to
be the present intention, the province
will be in a very bad box as dissolu-
ton of the Legislature would likely fCl-
low and Manitoba could count on hay
ing railway competition blocked for a
year or two" The ministers could not
be seen tonight in regard to the above
statement. Argument on the railroad
Injunction case was continued to-day
and the Judge will give his decision
Monday. 1t is said the Canadian Pa
ci6c solicitors have grounds for an aDpli-
cation for another Injunction should the
one before the courts be dissolved. All
is quiet at the Pemblna branch crossing,
but all preparations are complete for
active resistance at any hour should the
necessity arise.

The first train to pass through the
Wickes tunnel on the Montana Central

passage occupied twelve minutes. The
tunnel is eighteen miles from Helena
on the branch to Butte and runs
through large mountain OF the
Boulder divide. 1t is 600 feet
long, being the largest in Montana.
1t runs through solid rock and its con-
struction cost about 81 800, 900. Work
was com in May, 1887, and day
hight was let through it in September of
this wear. Trains will henceforth run
through the tunnel regularly. 1t is the
intention of the company to line the
tunnel with masonry, which will neces-
state further outlay of a quarter of a
million dollars

MONTREAL, Ont, Oct. 29.-Another Sc
rIous break occurred in the Cornwall
Canal yesterday, and it is now feared
that all hope OF the reopening of inland

be opened for traffic on Wednesday.
Large gangs of men were engaged
IN the work OF repairs when, at . O clock
yesterday afternoon, large part of the
embankment gave way and the men
and horses on 1t had a very narrow es-
cape. The second break is little less
than disaster TO those engaged in the
