The Bolivar bulletin. (Bolivar, Tenn.) 1888-1946, 1889-03-08

SIR John Mac Donald, Charles Tupper has
sailed from Havre, and viii arrive in Can
ada in afew days. It is now certain that
Immediately upon his arrival in Ottawa it
win be pubEclyannouncedt that new Cab
met will be formed under his leadership.
Sir John Macdonald will, at the close Of
the present session of Parliament, visit
England, be raised to the peerage by Her
Majesty, and receive the appointment Of
British Ambassador to Washington. Sir
Hector Langevin, it is also considered as
positive, viii be appointed Canadian
High Commissioner to England.
A Cabinet Minister stated to a corre-
spondent last evening that the report was
correct, but that the announcement was
premature. The object of the govern
ment in contradieting the statement was
to throw the Opposition off the secret, and
to prevent any reference being made in
Parliament to the matter untiFSir Charles
arrived at the capital. The intention of
the Premier to retire has been known to
the Cabinet for some months, and the
whole matter of the change has been thor
oughly discussed.
Two leading French Canadian Minis
ters in the present Cabinet are Sir Hector
Langevin and Hon. J. A. Chapleau, be-
tween whom there exist great animosity.
Sir Hector is a good executive officer but
has no hold on his own Province, where
he came near being defeated at the last
general election. Hon. Mr.. Chapleau is the
admitted leader of the Conservative party
in Quebec, and successfully carried the
Conservative banner to victory through
the Riel agitation in that Province at the
last general elections. When Sir Charles
Upper was asked to assume the leader
ship Of the government, he made it q
stipulation that Hon. }. A. Chapleau
should assist him. Sir Hector Langevin
refused to accept a portfolio in Fupper-
Chapleau Government, and in order to
overcome this difficulty it was decided
that Sir Hector should be appointed
Canadian High Commissioner to England
in the place of Sir Charles Upper.
Her Majesty, through the Governor
General, has expressed her appreciation
of the services rendered England by Sir
John Macdonald during his long and
eventful public career, and has signified
her desire that he should be raised to the
peerage. He will be made Lord MacDon-
aid.
Hon. J. A. Chapleau will not return to
Canada until after the formation of the
new Cabinet, and Sir Hector LangeyiI
! has his appointment as Canadian Com
missioner. This precaution is taken sc
that Sir Hector's friends in Quebec viii
not be able to accuse Mr.. Chapleau OF
/ croWding his enemies out or the new gov
ernment. The full personnel of the new
4 government has not yet been decided upon
but it is more than probable that Mr.
/ Chapleau will be made Minister of Pub
lie Works, and that Mr.. Ross, M. P, oi
/ SherbroOke, will receive the portfolio Of
railways and canals, as the present Min.
| lister, Hon. j. II. Pope. is dying. Regard
/ ing the probable policy of this new adj
ministration, it is impossible to speal
| positively, but one thing is certain-Sil
/ Charles Tupper is fully alive to the i'm.
portance of an cary settlement of the
! fisheries question, and it is more thar
likely that one of his first public acts viii
be to invite the new President of the
United States to resume negotiations fol
the framing of a new treaty.
