Autocracy in British Honduras.

PANAMA, Sept. 25.-The Star and Herald
publishes the following account of the diff
Guilty at Belize, British Honduras, between
the administration and the legislature:
After a protracted struggle between the
government and the popular clement of the
legislature, not unlike that between
Balmaceda and the Chilian congress,
the representatives vacated their
seats in body The governor, in no
way disconnected, promptly appointed
in their room certain officials whom
he designated unofficial members in as
much as they did not occupy their seats ex-
oficio." There was at that time february
lasD no one to gainsay him and from
February to July the colony was practical
ly run under the Balmacedan form of gov
eminent. An action was laid IN July
against the collector of customs to recover
alleged illegally exacted duties, on the
ground that the colony posses
seq no constitutional legislature either at
present time or when the new tariff was
voted. The government went Into court
and defended itself. Chief Justice Ander-
son was in a quandary for precedents, but
finally gave judgment for plaintiffs, thereby
overruling the Legislature and annulling
all laws passed since February. The gov
eminent has appealed to the privy council
| OF the empire.

Tho Anglers and Msreier Rumpus.

QUEBEC, Sept. 25.-Lieutenant-Gov
ernor Anglers, who is said to be harassing
his ministers into doing something that
will warrant his dismissing them, to-day
demanded that the government name the
public accuser or prosecutor to conduct
the case against the ministers before the
royal commission, and refused to allow
their claim to be represented by counsel at
the investigations. The widest rumors
are current with regard to Premier Mer-
cier's actions should he be dismissed. 1t is
said he will not take his dismissal
from Anglers but will defy him and that
his supporters. who are majority in the
legislature, will probably adopt resolutions
censuring Anglers, calling upon the gov
ernor-general to remove him at once, other
wise the province will declare itself out OF
the confederation and take the conse-
ouences which may lead to annexation.

Though rumors of further troubles still
excite uneasness in certain places, the
government has no doubt of its ability to
cope effectively with all attempts at
breaches of the peace.
Nothing is known respecting the reports
cabled to Europe of an attempt to seize the
Foo Chow arsenal but undoubted evil
dence of the activity of secret societies has
been obtained in other quarters. Thirty
five cases of foreign rifles consigned to a
British subject employed in the imperial
customs Office at Chin kiang has been
seized at Shanghai by the customs officers,
and the consignee arrested and turned
over to the British authorities. The same
man had a quantity Of dynamite which,
with the rifles, ne confessed was intended
for the use of the secret society at Chin
Kiang. The other British subjects and SIX
| other foreigners, nationality doubtful, all
residents of Shanghai, are implicated in the
transaction which the British officials are
Investigating. The cablegram concludes
with repetition of the statement that The
imperial government has no doubt OF it:
entire competency to preserve order.
