for this correspondent to trace the entire
disposition of the Barring fund used in
the water works deal. The
belief is current here that
nearly S3,0OOOOO was spent in
"prellminaries," as the expression runs
in Buenos Ayers. Sanford is popularity
credited with securing the personal
commissions" which put him high
above water in his course down the f.
nancial stream among the brazen kettles
and earthen pots. Having secured this
contract, Barring Bros, forwarded to
Sanford two installments of S7,0Go,OO0
each. and third of like amount will
fall due this summer. Other sums were
advanced at various times until now, the
correspondent estimates the govern
ment's liability to the Barring Bros, on
this single enterprise at nearly S3O,OOO,-
600. He continues: 1.-The losses of
the Barings from their water works
investment will not be as great propor-
tionately as in their purchase of bonds
and other money securities. There are
extensive investments of their
money here which no one outside
of the confidential circles of the houses
and their agents can describe. l have
met with many difficulties in obtaining
the simplest facts regarding Baring's af-
fairs. Government officials will disclose
nothing. The chief secretary, after
promising to lay before me certain i'm
portant official data, was constrained to
change his mind and politely declined.
Circumlocution- office system prevails
here in all its complexity An inquirer
who wishes to know is regarded as a sus-
picious character, only to be denied in
formation. Notwithstanding these diff
ticulties the correspondent learned that
amounts ranging from S5,0O00O0 to
twice or three times that amount were
obtained by various provinces for "in-
ternal improvements" One of the loans
to Cordoba, the correspondent says, is
larger than the entire province is worth.
The Barings also have made investments
in railroao bonds, but these, the cores
pondent thinks, will yield fair returns in

Here is something from Mr.. Frank

Hotel, Brunswick, Me. Hotel men
meet the world as it comes and goes,
and are not slow in sizing people

with colds, and he
Hereditary often coughs enough
to make him sick at

ever he has taken
cold of this kind he uses Bosclee's
German Syrup, and it cures him

particular as to the medicine he used.
What is his opinion? Listen "I

Sir John Mcdonald Dead.

OTTAWA, Ont, June 7.-Sir John Nc
Donald is no more. The distinguished
statesman who has guided the political
destinies of Canada for nearly half n cen
tury passed peacefully away at 10o'clock
tonight, surrounded 10y the entire house
hold. Lady Mcdonald, who bore up so
bravely during the fatal illness, is now
PROSTATE with grief. All the church bells
are tolling, and thousands of citizens are
expressing deep regret at the premier's
demise. For hours the members of the
household had been watching at the bed
side, waiting to see the life depart. AL
though the physicians declared
last night that Sir John
could not survive until the
morning, they had not made allowance
for his marvellous vitality. He had lost
consciousness thirty hours ago and had
taken no nourishment since, save small
quantities. of champagne, which were ad-
ministered with difficulty. The premier
sick unto death, kept up the unequal
struggle until after 10 o'clock tonight
For days, 1t is assumed, he resisted the
inevitable by sheer force of his powerful
will, but yesterday consciousness disap-
peared never to return. In the ensuing
period nature, now no longer restrained
asserted itself; life's fire, already burnir =
low, tlickered and smouldered
as though the soul would
leave its earthly tabernacle
at each successive breath. At 10 o'clocl;
this morning the hundreds who called to
make inquiries realized that all hopes
had now vanished forever. News from
the sick room was more discouragins
than ever. A strange and leaden color
overspread his countenance and his ex-
tremities assumed an icy coldness. No
one would recognize in the dying man
one vestige of resemblance to the
great political leader. Once or twice
watchers at the bedside thought death
had taken place and DR.. Powell, holding
the premier's pulse, discovered only a
faint trace of life. Lady Macdonald fo1
three hours before the sad event never
left the room for an instant. The other
watchers included Mary, her invalid
daughter; Hugh John Macdonald
the premier's son, Job Pope, Sir
Johns faithful private secretary, and
near friends of the family. At 10 p. M
complete collapse set in. In the sue
ceedlng few minutes the premier's
breathing became more and more la
bored and only the slightest hutter of
heart indicated life's presence. AT 1915
the premier gave few long and heavy
inspirations and without struggle or the
slightest evidence of pain passed away
An undertaken was promptly ly notified tc
prepare the body for embalment. The
funeral will likely take place Tuesday
next and will be of state character
On that day the body will likely be
removed to the senate chamber
and lie in state for four or five hours
Interment will subsequently take place
at Kingston, Ont, where the premier's
first wife and his father are buried. Dir
Powell announces that no further de.
tails will be made public until to-mor.

THE first practical test of the much
talked-of theory that the firing of heavy
explosives would lead to the fall of rain
was made at Elleudale last week. The
experimenters report it a complete sue
cess, as-lt rained. Whether or not the
plan can be operated successfully in a
dry season is problem that only the fu-
ture can determine. That in this particu-
lar instance the object was attained is
certain. 1t would seem as though the
government might very properly instruct
its weather bureau to make some united
tests and see what efficacy there might
be in dynamite as rain producer.

The following is floating around
among the exchanges, and if based upon
solid foundation, is worthy of atten-
ton: "Saloonkeepers and others who
deal in cigars would do we'll to closely
study the law enacted by the last con-
gress in regard to the sale of cigars. Sec
ton 1862 of the Revised Statutes says
that cigars must be sold to the customer
direct from the properly stamped box.
A dealer who takes out handful of ci-
gars and laws them before the buyer to
choose from, or a saloonkeeper who
brings a customer cigar on plate or
in glass makes himself liable to fine
of $lOO."
