TORONTO, June s.-From almost every point In
Canada come udings of universal sorrow at the
death of Sir John Macdonald. Everywhere
signs of mourning are to be seen. Arrange
ments have been made TO fire five-minute guns
at Ottawa and in every city In Canada

premier There Is O strong feeling that an
autopsy ought to be made on the body Of Sir
John by independent medical men, In order
that the public may know what really caused
his death.
special dispatch from Ottawa ssys:-aAll
sorts OF rumors are flying about today "a to whom
the governor-general will call upon to form the
new cabinet 1t is said today that
no one has yet been summoned
by the governor, and that it Is not probable
that any one win be until after the funeral
This delay OF at least five days is almost
without precedent It gives point to
curious story atloat to the effect
that the governor-general left the meeting
OF the Royal Society OF Montreal rather hur-
riedly last Wednesday and called upon Sir John
Macdonald at Earnselife the next day. It is
said that Sir John indicated then whom he
thought should be called upon to form the new
ministry in case his illness terminated fatally"
