LONDON, June 29.-The betrothal of
Princess Louise to the Earl of Fife re-
wives the rumors which were prevalent
a short time ago of GOODNESS between
the Prince of Wales and the Duke of
Portland, which, it is said, has assumed
the character Of permanent rupture.
1t is asserted that both the queen and
the Prince of Wales desired
an alliance with the Duke OF
Portland. and in pursuance of this de-
sire, a friend of the prince was commits
stoned to sound the duke as to his will
ingness to become sOn-in-law to the heir
to the throne. To the amazement of the
mutual friend and the chagrin of her
majesty and the prince, the duke fatty
refused to listen seriously to the propo-
sition. He is said to have expressed
himself seriously as not at all dattered
by the proposal, in view of the pitifui
snubbing which the Marquis of LOrne
had received at the hands of his
wife's relatives on many occasions,
and declined to permit himself to be
placed in similar position. In verifi-
cation of this story attention Is called to
the fact that at the recent wedding OF
the duke it was observed that the queen
had sent no present, and the omission
caused much comment. 1t is believed
that the Earl of Fife will be created a
duke in order to more firmly establish
the precedence of his offspring. The
grandchildren are necessarily royal, and
take precedence even of the brothers
and sisters of SOvereignS. .

the Mackenzie. Peace and Saskatche-

the Mackenzie. Peace and Saskatche-
wan rivers. 1t is to-day nothing but a
rolling prairie. No farmer can locate
there because of the impossibility Of
reaching market for his produce. This
new road will open up the country,
making it entirely tributary to St. Paul.
That it will be settled up Immediately
on the entrance of the railroad cannot
be doubted in the light of past history.
Here Is a stretch of country many
thousand miles long and in parts 600
miles wide, which can grow over thirty
bushels of wheat TO the acre, year after
year, OH the basis of the yield of Mani
toba, which Is in every way its inferior
for wheat raising. The entrance of the
Northern Pacific to this vast territory
will cover every section with farms.
The produce of these farms will be
shipped east over the Northern Pacific
via st. Paul. All of this hitherto un-
known Canadian Northwest will at
once become
DIRECTLY TRIBUTARY TO ST. PAUL.
and will prove potent factor In her
future Development. The principles of
the Northern Pacific are about as fol-
lows: Let other roads seek an outlet
via Duluth, let other roads ignore st.
Paul, the Northern Pacific will make
the whole Northwest, from their south
ernmost branch to the north pole tribu-
tary to st. Paul. The road must be-
come paying concern in a very few
years. The Canadian Pacific has fear
full white elephant on it's hands in the
shape of over 400 miles of road north of
Lake Superior; 400 miles of road built
at the most terrific outlay of money
ever put into railroad construction. The
interest on this money and the absolute
certainty that this long stretch OF rock
bound wilderness will never yield a
single penny, form a fearful incubus:
The Northern Pacific has nothing OF
this sort with which to contend. It now
has its terminals in Chicago, in direct
connection with a through line to the
Atlantic coast, and can control the
traffic of the whole Northwest in way
that no other road can pretend to COM
pete with. st. Paul will reap the direct
benefit of all this new development. and
for this reason the immense Importance
Of the Northern Pacific's progressive
policy should not be lost sight OF.

An Overwhelming Vote in Favor
OF the Annexation of Populous
Suburban Towns.
CHICAGO, June 29.-The question of
the annexation to Chicago of the closely
adjoining suburbs of Hyde Park, Lake,
Lake View, Cicero and Jefferson was
voted on to-day. The campaign which
has been conducted for several weeks
past was spirited one, and both sides
have been making tremendous strug-
gle. The ants were generally headed
by the present Office holders in the
suburban governments, who made
a bitter fight against coming
into the city. While the Off
cial vote from all the points
has not yet been announced. there is no
room for doubt. from figures received,
that all the suburbs named have been
carried by the Annexationists. The va
rious towns give to Chicago an addition
al population of nearly 200, 900, bringing
the total up to probably 100000. The
territory annexed will give Chicago a
total area approximately estimated of
about 174 square miles, making it the
largest city, in area, in the United
States. All of the suburban towns an
nexed are built up solidly for miles,
radiating from the old city limits. A
person unacquainted with the bounda-
ries of Chicago would not know where
any of the towns began, the dividing
lines being the center of boundary
streets.

PARIS, June 29.-In the chamber of
deputies to-day NJ. Pichon questioned
the government concerning letter
which a journalist named Noestyne
wrote to NJ. Meyer, who was recently
sentenced to Imprisonment for connec-
ton with the Credit MObilier frauds,
suggesting the forging of documents,
and duplicating the governmental in those
frauds. He asked whether that was the
only attempt made in this case to dis
credit the Republicans. NJ. Thevenot,
minister of justice, replied that ten let.
tiers were seized in Meyers house,
and their contents testified to
the shamelessness of the Boulan-
gist party. NJ. de Cassagnac de-.
clared that the letters were police
forgeries. M. Thevenot answered this
charge by saying that Meyer had adj
mitted that the letters were genuine.
He also mentioned the name of the
anti-republican leader who visited him.
Here there was violent interruption By
an excited manner accused M.
Thevenot of being Meyers accomplice.
This led to another uproar. NJ. de Cas-
sagnac was censured by the president
and expelled from the chamber. Many
members of the right followed him out,
while the left cheered the presidents
decision. M. Thevenot announced that
it was the intention of the govern
ment to prosecute the offenders. Then
M. Herissee. on behalf of the Boulan-
gists, and NJ. Casenove, on behalf Of
the Royalists, having denounced the in
trigues, the chamber, without dissent
ing voice, asked the government to
adopt measures for their repression.

JoHNsTowN, Pa, June 29.-The sub
committee appointed to secure an ac-
curate account of the living and dead
has filed it's report. The report, how
ever, is as unsatisfactory as any of the
preceding reports. It is as follows:
Fifteen thousand four hundred and
fifty five men, women and children have
been registered as survivors, which in
cludes 4,25O heads of families. The
morgues have accounted for over 5000
bodies found, while the registration re-
port shows only l 1888 as the total number
of lives lost. The committee offer as an
excuse for this discrepancy that they
have not been allowed sufficient time
to properly cover the ground and that a
part Of the information given to them
was incorrect. There are but few peo-
pie here who estimate the loss of life
under 10000. The citizens are very in
dignant at the last reduction in the
working forces and have requested that
the force be increased instead of dimin-
ished. AustrO- Hungary consul Scham-
berg to-day distributed among his coun-
