Whence Came the Money :?

It has been known that after Burke
was sent back to Chicago, several re-
mittances of money amounting to about
$500 were received by Isaac Campbell,
his lawyer at Winnipeg. They were
sent III American bills, folded in white
paper, and enclosed in plain envelopes.
One of the letters was sent from Chica-

Information has been received at
Washington by cable from Brazil an

empire have resulted in an over
whelming triumph for the Liberal party.

significance, as showing that as soon as
the present emperor, Dom Pedro H.,

Lost on Pollock Rip.

A sunken vessel has been discovered

masted schooner with mainmast gone.

in her bottom. She leaked badly and
sank as soon as she struck deep water.
It is feared that all hands were lost, as
no aid could have reached them.
