The Canadian scandals.

QUEBEc, Oct. 16.-Nothing is talked
of here but the report of the commits
sion. While speculation as to the prob
able outcome are numerous, the impress
sion that the lieutenant governor is GO
ing 30 turn out the ministry is gaining
ground, and a general election is con-
fidently talked of. In fact, many men,
bers of the legislature will soon leave
for their respective counties to prepare
for the election. Armstrong, the rail-
road contractor, was again put ON the
stand and created sensation. He ad-
mitted having indorsed checks for
Pacaud, and said that the arrangement
to pay Pacaud 100000 was made in
New York, and that the reason he made
it was because Pacaud had great in
fiuence with the government. He was
the party manager and the intimate
friend of the ministers, and besides he
had been acting as agent for another

Wholesale Arrest of students.

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 16.-The gov
ernment has closed the University of
Kieff and placed 800 of the students
under arrest. Recently conspiracy
against the life of the czar was alleged
to have been discovered in Kieff, with
its center at the famous university.
Among the deadly instruments discov-
cred by the Russian police was print
ing press, which was said to have been
used in the publication, Of seditious
matter. The police moved upon the
printing machine prudently and valor-
Ously, and effected its capture. An out
break among the students followed, and
many violent and revolutionary speeches
were delivered. The police arrested a
number of supposed ringleaders, but
the agitation went on, gathering strength
as 1t progressed. The event is one of
the first Importance, and one which is
likely to have far reaching result.

the Great Evil.
TEMPERANCE AND PROHIBITION.

A Southern Minister Who Advises
the Church TO Hold Aloof from
Politics, While Observing Prohi-
bition-other Delegates Urge Legal
Prohibition as the Only Remedy.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-Yesterday's
opening session Of the Methodist con-
ference was presided over by Rev. DIR.
Donnelly, Of the Irish Methodist church.
Resolutions were presented urging
churches to consider and report upon
the feasibility of uniting the various
branches of Methodism. During the
discussion there was lively struggle
for the privilege of the floor. Several
delegates ut once demanded recognition,
and for time there was very ami
mated scene. Debate on the question
was finally adjourned by close vote.
The general topic of discussion at the
morning session of the conference, un-
der the regular order, was "Roman-
is1n." The essay, which was read by
Rev. M. T. Myers, of England, was
upon the special subject of the present
position of Romanism.
Temperance aud Prohibition.
The afternoon session of the Methodist
conference was presided over by Bishop
A. w. Wayman, Of the Baltimore, Md,
African Methodist Episcopal church.
The topic was temperance. The first
essay was 1.-THE Church and the Tenn
perance Reform" read by Rev. r. II.
Mahon, of Memphis, Tenn, Methodist
Episcopal Church South. He said that
the annual cost of liquor to the people
Of the United States was 5000, 900, 900, or
$1460 per capita, and it exceeded the
cost of both meat and bread. The
church TO be silent against the liquor
traffic wonld break her trust, and the
fact that liquor is protected by civil
power does not release the church from
her work against it, and is none the less
sinful because it is lawful in the eyes of
the world. The saloons, he said, were
unknown in primitive times and they
are now potent allies of the devil. The
manufacture and sale of liquor as a
beverage stands directly against the
kingdom of God. While the church
should observe prohibition, it should
not get into politics, as politics belong
to society at large, and the church has
nothing to do with legal prohibition.
Let her aim be holy work. Men sold
liquor, not to make men drunk, but for
gain, and they are willing to make
money at the risk of human souls. The
duty of the church, he said, was to de-
nounce the liquor traffic, to set an ex-
ample by their total abstinence and to
work against this great vice Of modern
times.
Rev. James Pickett, of England, spoke
in a similar vein. Thomas Worthington,
of England, Rev. G. II. Phillips (col-
ored), of Washington, and Bishop Gaines
(colored), of Georgia, urged legal prohi-
bition. Rev. Mr. Lambley, of Canada,
said that every christian preached
against liquor, but would go and vote
for his party candidate irrespective of
his ideas ON prohibition.

by thunder and startled by flashes OF
the most vivid lightning. 4
Reports received from the channel
ports agree in saying that fearful weather
is prevailing in the channel. The Bou-
logne packet boats are unable to put TO
sea, and, even if they succeeded in get

they could not weather the gale.
All along the coast the beach is strewn
with wreckage, and at Dover especially
a large quantity Of material, evidently
belonging to one or more wrecked ships,
has been washed ashore.
From Holyhead comes q telegram
saying that the body of a steamship fire.
man has been washed ashore at that
place, and that it is believed the drowned
man belonged to steamer which has
foundered during the gale.
A Cardiff coal laden steamer sank
near Holyhead, and the entire crew per-
ished. 1t is thought the dead fireman
may have been one of the crew. The
weathe& in the Irish sea is the most Sc
we're experienced in many years.
In the midland counties especially has
great damage been done to the stacked
crops.
Many vessels have been driven help

General Denial.
HARRISBURG, Oct. 1G.-At Yesterdays
.sssion of the senate Auditor General
McCamant and Treasurer Boyer made
answer, through counsel, to the charges
against them. Mr.. Shapley, for Mr..
McCamant, read the auditor generals
denial. Mr.. McCamant expressly de-
nies the jurisdiction of your honorable
body" He then goes on to expressly
deny each and every charge of official
misbehavior alleged against him In the
governors proclamation and message,
whether stated expressly, by way of in
ference, argument or suggestion; also
expressly denies each and every state
ment in the proclamation and message
contained, in so far as they or any Of
them are set forth as sufficient grounds
TO warrant the conclusion that he has
been in any way guilty of misconduct,
misbehavior, or maladministration in
his Office.
Lyman d. Gilbert next took the floor
and read State Treasurer Boyer's an
swer. IL begins with the legal argument
against the authority of the governor
advanced by Mr.. McCamant, and then
explains at length his official acts. He
protests that he simply followed prece-
dents, and in no way was guilty Of
official misconduct.
Both answers are sworn to before
Notary Public Edgar L. King, of this
city.
At the afternoon session of the senate,
in response to resolution passed by
this body, an opinion was submitted by
the attorney general relative to the pay
ment Of the expense of the extra ses-
sion. The attorney general says he is
of the opinion that the constitutional
provisions which made it the duty of
the executive to summon the senate into
executive session implied power for the
senate to order the payment of the nec-
essary expenses of such proceedings.
After discussion on proposition to
invite the attorney general to conduct
the investigation, which was voted
down, the senate adjourned until Mon
day afternoon.
