SIR JOHN LINGERS.
Canada's Old Premier Prepared
for the Final Call.
HE MAINTAINS HIS oHEERFULNEss

But Realizes That the End Is Near
al Hand-A Political Crisis Immi-
nent-Sir John Thompson and Sir
Charles Tupper Prominently Mem
toned for the Succession.
OTTAWA, Ont, June Sir John A.
Macdonald is still living, but 1t is only a
slender cord that binds him. Still, the
attending physicians are astounded at
the vitality that he displays. The old
premier is fighting with characteristic
tenacity, but the fight cannot be much
longer maintained. Since Friday after.
noon, though deprived of the power of
speech, he has maintained the cheerful
ness for which he was so noted while in
health. Not the slightest indication of
disappointment has been expressed. He
realizes that the end is approaching, and
seems to be prepared for the final call.
A crisis in political circles is imminent.
The cabinet sat six honrs Saturday, and
as if by ARRANGEMENT the lips Of all cab
met ministers are sealed as to what was
done.
The Question of Succession.
In the event of Sir Johns death Sir
Hector Langevin, the privy counsellor,
will be summoned by the governor gen.
eral to assume control of public affairs,
but with grave charges of malfeasance
in office hanging over him, the minister
of public works will naturally refuse to
doso, leaving the question of leadership
between Sir John Thompson, minister
of justice, and Sir Charles Upper, high
commissioner for Canada in England.
The government has already held an in
formal conference with the minister of
justice, but indications are that large
wing of the conservative party will in
sist on the sanction Of Sir Charles Tup-
per as the new premier, Sir John Thomp-
Son being Roman Catholic. A caucus
of the party will be held at an early date.

SACRAMENTO, Cal, June John Se-
wald has confessed to Justice Henry, in
the presence of his own eldest son, to
the murder of both his wives, one of
whom he killed by poison at Anoka,
Mimi, and the other he smothered at
Wayne, Neb., four years later. Both
his wives were dissipated and made his
life miserable. He said his conscience
troubled him, and he could keep his
guilty secret no longer. Justice Henry
believes that Sewnld tells the truth.
Neighbors who have known him during
his residence here say he is not insane,
but morose over some great trouble.
The matter was reported to Sheriff Stan
ley, who took Sewald into custody until
his story could be investigated.

Tho British Government Feting the
sayages Who Would Be Britons.
LONDON, June LIT has been decided
by the government to give the two en-
issaries of the African king, Gugen-
hama, an official reception on the ground
that their master is vassal of the
queen, portion Of his territory being
within British influence, although the
greater portion is in the Portuguese
sphere.
Before the British South African COM
pany gets through with Portugal, how
ever, 1t is probable that the whole Of
Gugenhama's domain will be British. 1t
is said that the African king does not
want to recognize the Portuguese as
rulers, because, he insists, on account of
their dnsky color, that they are Africans
like himself, and that it would be be-
nepth his dignity to submit to another
African race. Therefore, he asks the
great white queen to take him under her
protection.

A DECISION on GRAIN GAMBLING.

Chicago Dec. z (speciaD.-A peculiar decision on the
subject of Board of Trade gambling was rendered today
by Judge Moran in the suit of Gertrude s. Taicott
against the commission firm of Elder, Mckinney
Applegate. This a bill filed to en1oin an action
at law on promissory note for 5000 made by com
planant to defendants and to recover 81 131 paid by
Mrs. Tacott to the brokers. She held that the note
had been given and the money paid TO indemnify and
recompense the defendants for losses incurred by her
TO them in wagering gambling contracts made FOR
the purchase and sale Of grain. IL was understood
between them that the dealing should be in differences
and that no grain should be received or delivered on
such contracts. In the court below the jury gave
Mrs Talcott verdict the note finding it was given
in a rambling deal. Then Judge Tuley entered de
cree compelling the firm TO refund the money paid TO
Them holding that the law court had declared the
transaction a gambling and he could not go into
that question. In affirming the decision Of the court
below Judge Moran says We did not intend TO hold
that margins advanced to brokers on contracts made
IN be settled on differences could not be recovered
back from the person persons TO whom they were
paid and If such a meaning is to be drawn from the
case of Elmendorf Waite ct al VS.. Costello, decided
af the last March term Of this court, IL must be re-
carded as expressing the law a. understood by TINS
courf
