CANADA AND RETALIATION.
Red Hot Session of the Dominion Cabinet-WIde Differences of Opinion, and Rupture Is Feared.

Red Hot Session of the Dominion
 Cabinet-WIde Differences of Opinion,
 and Rupture Is Feared.
 OTTAWA, Sept. 4-The first meeting of the cabinet since President Cleveland laid his celebrated retaliatory message before congress was held yesterday afternoon, all members of the government being present except Mir. Bowell, minister of customs and MT. Dewany, minister of interior. The for mer is at present in British Columbia and the latter in Northwest Territory.
 The British government, the moment it was known that congress was to be asked to pass 8 measure of retaliation against Canada, cabed to Sir John Macdonald, requesting him to furnish q full text of the extent and character of commercial relations which had existed between the United States and Cana la since the confederation of the British North American provinces; also a clear statement of all remonstrances which had been made by the United States against Canada for alleged irregularities in accord ing to United States citizens their rights conceded by tie treaty, as we'll as full ex- planation as to the probable effect on the Dominion if the proposed retaliation measures were carried out
 This information has been prepared and was laid before the cabinet prior to being forwarded to the British government. On the most reliable authority it is learned that in requesting his information Lord Sails bury enjoined the Dominion government to exercise the utmost caution in every move ment just now, when an irregular step might tend to strengthen the fleeing of hostility which has been raised towards the Dominion.
 Lo"d Salisbury has spoken pretty plainly lo Sir John, and the attitude he has assumed not very cordially received by members of the government here. The meeting was an exceptionally lively one, and the members of the cabinet were by no means a unit in indorsing the remedies which Sir John proposed
 It is stated that serious rupture in Sir Johns cabinet is not improbable over the interference of the home government.

He Thinks the Matter Should be Held
 Back Until After Election.
 NEW YORK, Sept, 4.-The Mail and Ex- press correspondent at Ellsworth, Me. ob- tained Mir. Blaines views on fishery policy as follows: The fishing season is over Nearly all the American vessels have re- turned, and Canada will have none to oper- ate upon until the summer of 1SS9 In the meantime anything she may or may not do is matter of supreme indifference to the fishermen. Therefore it is better not to clothe the present president with any addi- tional powers, since he has shown his utter incompetency to deal with the general sub- ject. But let him carry out the present law, as he is bound to do, and this alone may bring Canada to her senses and secure us justice at her hands. For Republicans to vote for the bill reported by Mr. Belmont,s committee in the house would be a confession by them that the presidents refusal to carry out the present law was justified, and would put a power in his hands which he would wield for partisan purposes. It is much bet ter to let the matter lie over till the new ad- ministration shall come in, which will be better prepared to handle the matter. frea from the settlements of our political con- tests and ill ample time to protect every in- terest. To allow the president now to stop the export business of Canada through the United States would seriously interfere with several of our home transpor tation lines. es- lecially those leading to Portland, and cor respondingly depress the entire commerce of that port It would also afford Canada A prstext for increasing her demands in re- taliation for such inhibition, and render more difficult the general settlement by ne gotion The rights of the Pacific coast should also be reunited to the new administration

 A CHRISTIAN church composed entirely of whisky dealers would be a novelty indeed, yet that is the result that threatens to come from church row in Louisville, Ky.

The whisky men of the city are very much enraged and declare that If the church car ries out it's threat they will organize Q church of their own.

Sarah s Sensation
An Exciting Chapter in the
 :: Sharon-Hill Case.
CURSES AND BLOWS IN COURT.

Sarah Althea Hill Terry Violently De-
 nounces the Judge-He Orders Her
 Removed, and Her Husband Knocks
 Down the Omoer-Wild Confusion.
 SAN FRANCISCO, Sept "A sensational ocene was enacted in the United states cir suit court when Justice Field read the de >ision Of the court sustaining the previous decision that the alleged marriage contract between Sarah Althea Hill and the late Senator Sharon was forgery, and that the executors of the Sharon will may proceed without regard to Miss Hill, who is now Mrs. Terry, having married Judge David s. Terry, her counsel As the reading of tho decision proceeded, Mrs Terry became ex- cited, and jumping up interrupted Justice Field inquiring if he was about to order her to give up the marriage contract. The judge told her to sit down, whereupon she grew wild with passion, and shouted that it was said that Judge Field had been bought; that she would like to know what figure he valued himself at; that it seemed no one could get justice in that court without a purse, etc.
 Judge Field ordered Marshal Franks to remove Mrs. Terry. Franks moved towards her, while she continued to pour out oaths and vulgar language. As Franks took hold of her arm, Judge Terry knocke1 him down with a terrible blow, declaring that he would let no living man touch his wife. Franks recovered himself, and with deputies and bystanders rushed upon Terry and dragged him out of court. Mrs, Terry was locked up in the marshals office. Terry soon advanced upon the deputy guarding the room and de- manded admission. Being refused, he drew an ugly looking dirk, with an eight inch blade, and threatened to carve his way into the room. Several men jumped upon him and there was a desperate struggle. All finally fell in heap, and the knife was taken away without any one being injured Terry was then locked up with his wife. A sachel dropped by Mrs. Terry in the the court room was found to contain an English bull dog revolver, with six chambers loaded.
 Marshal Franks afterward entered the marshals room, and was attacked and beaten about the face and head by Mrs Terry A strong guard was then placed in the room. There was great exoeement in the court room during the fracas. The room was full of leading lawyers and citizens, attracted by the news that the decision was to be rem dered. After quiet was restored Justice Field finished reading the decision and the court retired. When they returned they an nounced 8 sentence of six months imprison- ment for Judge Terry and thirty days for Mrs. Terry for contempt of court.
 Since the decision above referred to was first rendered the state supreme court has adjud sed that Sharon was married to Miss Hill, and that she is entitled to part of his estate. The executors applied to the circuit court for revival of the decree of forgery. and this was the matter decided.
 Terry was formerly judge of the California supreme court, and in 1856, while holding that position, he killed Senator Frederick in a duel growing out of politics.
