There are serious dissensions in the Cana
dian cabinet over the question of CONNER
cial relations between the Dominion and the
United States. No longer ago than the last
session Of Parliament Sir John Macdonald
stated that the government was anxious to
enlarge the commercial and reciprocal trade
relations with the United States, but the
other DAY Cir John Thompson, minister of
justice, told the people of Nova Scotia that
reciprocity was impossible, unnecessary
and not the policy of the conservative party !,
and furthermore that the ministry fully in
tended to adhere to its present policy and
not attempt any reciprocity measure as pro-
posed until the United States takes the mat
ter In hand" Sir John Macdonald is said to
be very much dissatisfied with Mr.. Thomp-
sons speech and intends to take the first
public opportunity to repudiate it.

government to the extent of half million

that, even with the great subsidy, they
found they could not make line calling only

MooRHEAD, Mimi, Sept. 2O.-Thomas
Brown, the escaped convict from the
Wisconsin state prison at Waupun, was
hanged here to- day for the killing of
Police Officer Poull at this place on the
night of October II, 1888.
Brown vas a desperate all-around
thief who kept the authorities of this
state and Northern Wisconsin on the
Jump for several years. In the winter
Of 1873 he went to Ashland, Wis,
making that place his headquarters.
One day, with companion. he crossed
Chequamegon Bay and committed a
robbery. On the return to Ashland he
was pursued and captured and sent to
the Wisconsin penitentiary. There he
eluded the guards and escaped.
After lodging the Wisconsin authori-
ties Brown came to Fargo, and finally
drifted here. One night Brown partic1-
pated in drunken row near Hillsboro,

Poull. who was a Moorhead officer,
came to the rescue. Brown fred

murderer was arrested, and trial and
death sentence followed. Brown said
subsequent to the arrest that had he
known he was wanted merely for the
Hillsboro trouble he would have sub
mitted to arrest, as he was not guilty of
the stabbing; but rather than to return
to Waupun he would take half dozen
lives and lose his own.
Brown spent last night quietly and he
faced death bravery and died without
struggle. The drop Tell few min

DISASTER IN MEXICO,
Storms, Lands1ides and Floods Do Great
Damage.

ST. LOUIS. Mo-, Sept. 21.-Advices
from different parts of Mexico say very
heavy storms have been sweeping over
that country since August Is. The lat
est prevailed along the Pacific coast and
reports from Mazatlan and Manzanillo
are that the steamers Porfrio Diaz and
Alata have probably been wrecked. A
cyclone passed over the town of Chicin-
tepec causing great destruction, fol-
lowed by a great landslide
on the mountain back of the town, a
part of which passed directly through
the town, cutting great swath through
the buildings. The torrent OF water
then poured down the gulley made by
the landslide and flooded that part of
the place not already destroyed There
was no loss of life, however, as the peo-
pie had warning and sufficient time to
escape. Two locomotives and ten
freight cars on the Mexican Central
Railroad were wrecked near Lagos, and
Engineer Brandt, an American, was
killed and Engineer Garcia and Fire
men Bolina and Martinez fatally hurt.
