TO cogRcE CANADIANS.

Blaine Said to BE working to s@bject
Their Railroads to Inter state Law.
NEW York, April n. The Sans spe-
cial from Washington says: Senator
Cullom confirms the news that Secro-
tary Blaine is driving at the question of
subjecting Canadian railroads to trans
portation laws of the United States.
Senator Cullom and the secretary have
already conferred informally on the
question. rIf Mr.. Blaine has taken up
this subject in earnest, as have reason
to believe that he has, said the senator.
II shall have hope of something being
accomplished. No other international
question now occupying attention is q
important as this. Trade reciprocity
with Canada is nothing if Canadian rai
ways are permitted to go on cutting tho
throats OF our transportation lines. dis
eliminating against our cities, and ai-
verting traffic from its legitimate chan
nels. We must make war on Canada
all along the line. We must adopt her
own policy of selfshness in every phase
of our relationship, until we have
forced her government into a more Hb-
eral policy. For the protection of our
commercial and transportation interests
we must insist upon subsection Of
Canadian railways to the provision of
inter state commerce law.

TO PURIFY THE MINISTRY.
A Much Needed Reform Proposed In
England.


England.
LONDON, April 1.-THE clergy disci-
pline bill. supported by the archbishops
of Canterbury and York, has made de-
cided sensation among the clergy of the
English church, who, for the first time
are held te q strict responsibility for
good behavior. The bill has received
hearty support, owing to the frequent
scandals which have shocked the public
and the difficulty of dealing with i'm
moral cleraymen under the law as it
has been. The bill provides that If a
clergyman has been sentenced to penal
servitude or hard labor, or convicted of
q minor but disgraceful offense, or been
the respondent or the correspondent in a
successful suit for divorce, he is de-
prived OF his benefice. When he is de-
prived OF his benefice the sheriff is to see
that he is kept away from it, instead of
being permitted, like certain sus-
pended Clergyman, to guide visitors
through the church and receive gratitu-
tiles. In another instance clergyman
had been tried for heinous crime, but
was let on with conviction of misde-
meanor, and sentenced to eighteen
months inmisonment AS the only way
to get rid of him and prevent his return
from jail to- the pulpit, Doctor Magee,
now archbishop of York, took advan-
tage of d clanse in the law which made
benefce vacant unless the Clergyman
performed two services a year, il or
dered by this bishop Notices to perform
the service were served on the clergy
man In prison and of course not obeyed.
In this way he was got rid Of. Under
the new bill such trouble would not be
necessary On the part of the prelate.

Double Murder Near Shawano, wis,
brought to Light by n Suicide.
SHAwANo, Wis, April 17.-People
living in the town of Washington, this
county, are greatly excited over the dis
covery of two atrocious murders and q
suicide. 1t seems that about ten days
ago man named A. Bahr and his wife
had quarrel, after which Bahr went
out and hung himself, but before doing
so he told the children that Mrs. Bahr
had poisoned an old man named Zell,
the father of his first wife, who died
suddenly about year ago.
Made Confession.
The children reported the matter to
the authorities and they arrested the
woman. She made full confession,
stating that they poisoned old man Zell
by putting Paris green in his soup. Mrs.
Bahr is lying sick at Cecil, under the
care of a physician and guarded by a
deputy sheriff.
Bahr was a morose and ugly dispo-
sitioned fellow. Not long after ZelI's
death, Bahr pounded one of his children
inhumanly, and, after jerking its leg al
most out of its socket, threw it on a bed,
where it soon after died. He was never
prosecuted fer the child's murder.
