Them With CONSERVATION.
LONDON, August 8.-A conference OF
the leaders of the Orleanist party has
been held at the residence in England
OF the Count of Paris. The conference
added emphasis to the fact that there is
increasing discomfort among the counts
adherents. They believe the movement
OF which Cardinal Lavigerie is the
leader, looking to an alliance between
the French republic and the Vatican, is
assuming proportions that threaten the
success of the Orleanist plans, and they
urge the count of Paris to adopt a
policy that will counteract the effect of
the Lavigerie movement. M. De Bour-
bon, member of the French chamber
of DEPUTIES, urged that the count of
Paris should visit Rome and make
personal appeal to the Pope in support
OF his claim, or at least secure the prom
ise of his holiness to withdraw his con-
sent to the policy advocated by Lavi-
gerie. The count, however, declined to
accept the suggestion, or one that he
issue manifesto calling upon the clergy
to rally around the standard of the Or
leanists. The republic and religion, the
count declared, were opposed to each
other.

OTTAWA, Ont, August Sat today's
meeting of the privileges and elections
committee, John Henry, of this city,
admitted having offered to get for W. j..
Baskerville contract for the construc-
ton of craving dock in British Col
umbia for $4,000, but that his offer was
only joke. George Beaucage, a con-
tractor hitherto supposed to be figure
head for Larkin, Connolly & Co., stated
that the information on which he based
his tender for the construction of the
cross wall at Quebec, was supplied by
Hon. Robert McGreevy. He was offer
ed the contract, but Samson, a money
lender, refused to advance the money
necessary. He then agreed with Nc
Greevy to withdraw his tender in con-
sideration of $4,000. He fulfilled his
part, but never got cent.
