VlSiOnal arrangement With respect TO the
Premiership. He said: 1--WE are fresh
from the electorate, and we can form a
strong Ministry. Sir John Thompson,
to my mind, is the only man who can
give guarantee of stability in the re-
organization of the Government and
the party. He will meet with Difficult
ties and we believe that our Ontario
friends will see that it is their duty and
interest to join and co operate at this

John j. Caldwell Abbott was born on
March 10, 1929, in the rectory of st.
Andrews Parish, County of Argenequil,
Quebec. His father was the Rev.
Joseph Abbott M. A., who in 1918 came
from England and settled at st. Andrew
as the first Anglican incumbent. Mr..
Abbott graduated from McGill College,
Montreal, and at once entered upon the
study Of law At the age of 81 years he
was called to the bar of Lower Canada.
It was not until 1859 that he entered
political life us member for his native
county in the Assembly of Canada. From
that time onward he took an active part
in the transactions of the House, notably
in reference to commercial matters He
was made @. G. in 1862 and for short
donald Ministry as Solicitor General
In 1864 he introduced and fought
through the House the "insol-
vent act, probably his chief
work as legislator. In 1867, upon
confederation, Mr.. abbott was elected
to the House of Commons. In the nego-
tations of the syndicate, of which Sir
Hugh Allan was chief, for the Pacific
Railway charter, Mr. Abbott acted as
counsel, and through his confidential
clerks treachery the famous private
CORES pondence which caused the Pacific
scandal saw the light. In the defeat of
the Government at that time Mr.. Abbott
shared, and remained in private life
until 1880. He was elected in that year
and sat through Parliament until 1887,
when he retired. He was subsequently
elevated to the Senate, of which he has
of late been the Government leader.
Next to the insolvency act, the measure
by which his reputation has been most
enhanced is the jury law consolidation
act for lower Canada.

The Hon. j. J. c. Abbott has been
called upon to form Canadian Ministry,

Under the circumstances, Lord Stan
ley, in calling upon Senator Abbott to
frame government, has done the only
thing that appeared feasible to enable
the Tory party to hold control of the
treasury benches at Ottawa.
Sir John Thompson was first called,
but he soon discovered when he under
took the formation of cabinet that it
was task he was unable to carry to a
successful ISSUE He discovered that the
ultra Protestant province of Ontario,
which gave Sir John Macdonald's Gov
eminent support of ferty- eight mem
bers, would not accept him as Prime
Minister, he having at one time turned
from Protestant to Catholic. Sir Charles
Tupper's attempt to wreck the Grand
Trunk Railway, the second largest cor
poratlon in the country, put him out OF
the race, so that Senator Abbott was the
only one whom it was possible for the
Governor General to call upon, lest he
took up Sir Hector Langevin, who GER
tainly, by right of seniority, should have
been called In passing over Sir Hector,

A SPECIAL from Washington says: 1t
is reported on high authority that Unit

Both Governments will now be repre-

THE jury in the baccarat scandal case
at London returned verdict against
Sir William Gordon Cumming. He had
brought suit for SANDER against several
persons who accused him of cheating.
In the game in question the Prince of
Wales participated, and he was called
as a witness. 1t was proved that Wales
not only started the game, but that he
owned the "lay-out," just like any ordin-
ary gambler. The whole affair is most
scandalous, and will result in Cumming s
expulsion from the army.
