ANOTHER cANUcK SENSATION.

OTTAWA, Can, Sept. 22.-This nfter-
noon, in the commons, Mr.. Lister, mem
Der for West Hampton, gave notice that
he will make a motion for the impeach-
ment OF Hon. J. g. Haggart, postmaster
general, in connection with the construc-
lion of section b of the Canadian Pacific.
The charge will be that while member
of the commons Haggart was interested
in the contract given ny the government
for the construction of that part of the
railway which runs between Keewatin
and Eagle River. Haggart was not at the
time member Of the mipistry, beng
given a portfolio in July, 1883. This Is
the sensation of the day, and dwarfs the

The first canton tSt. ,IosephD did not make
a very good showing as a canton, but there
were two or three men that made an ex-
