CRISIS IN CANADA.
The Government May be Forced to Resign
Result of Doodle Charges.

The Government May be Forced to Resign
Result of Doodle Charges.
MONTREAL, Que, Sept 18.-The Prov
ince of Quebec is in the midst of the most
important political crisis that has taken
place in many years. SO acute IS the po-
litical situation that report was received
here last night from Quebec that the gov
eminent may resign, in which case po-
litical agitation of the utmost importance
will be Drecipitated. The crisis is the out
come OF a conflict of authority between
Lieut. Gov. Anglers, the representative OF
the Crown. and MI. MERCER, the head OF
the Quebec government.
Mr.. MERCER is charged with being i'm
plicated in the Bale DIES ChaleurS scandal,
which was recently unearthed at Ottawa,
where 1T was shown that his chief political
agent. Pacaud, had swindled the treasury
of Quebec out of 100000, which was de-
voted to paying the debts OF Mr.. MERCER
and other ministers.
Lieut.-Gov. Anglers thereupon called
upon Mr.. MERCER for eXplanati OnS. and
insisted upon the appointment OF royal
commission consisting OF three judges to
hold an investigation. He also transmit
ted the correspondence that passed be-
tween him and the head of the govern
ment to the encouragement, and, con,
trary to all precedent, this has been laid
before the Dominion Parliament ana maze
public.
The publication of the correspond ence
has created a great sensation. The Lib
erals are indignant, and say that such a
proceeding is contrary to all constitutional
usage. The French Liberals are highly
indignant as they say that the action is a
direct attact on the autonomy of the prov
inceS.
The greatest excitement prevails here
over the situation, and everyone is walt
ing anxiously to see what the Quebec gov
eminent will do.
1t is rumored that the Quebec govern
ment has decided to force an appeal to the
electors OF the province to sustain them in
their refusal to accede to the demand of
Lieut-Gov. Angiera that a royal COM
mission be appointed to investigate the
charges of boodling brought against the
membess of the government. Owing to the
interference OF the Dominion government,
the tide which at first was dead against
Premier MERCER, is now setting in his
favor and his friends say that the lieuten-
ant governors action is the best thing that
could have happened for him.

Sequel to o Sensational st. Paul Murder
Trial at Mansion.

Trial at MauSton.
MAUsToN, Wis, Sept. l6.-Walter f.
Horton, of st. Paul, and Miss Marie Van
VIE, of Trempealeau, Wis, were married
here last evening at the residence of Miss
Van Wie's brother. There is
romantic story in connection with
this simple announcement. Few peo-
pie in the Northwest are not IA
miliar with the facts in connection with
the trial of Walter f. Horton for the muir
der of his wife and little girl at st. Paul
about year ago. After sensational
hearing, in which the best legal talent to
be procured was drawn up on either
side, the accused was acquitted. Then
came the, wonder in the minds of
little girl, who was drowned with the wife.
was never recovered, and there were those
who insisted that the little one was being
kept secreted for reasons known only
to the father. After time, however, TIE
body of child was found and taken
from the river which was identified as that
of Mabel Horton, the missing child. This
last discovery went far toward convincing
some who had remained Skeptlcal that
Horton was innocent of the crime charged.
The most racy thing about the matter
was the love affair between the accused
and Miss Van VIE, then a school teacher
in st. Paul. Letters were introduced i'll
evidence written by both parties, couched
in such endearlng terms as to appear dam
aging in the eyes of the prosecution,
which held that Horton had put his wife
out of the way for the purpose of leaving
the way clear for wedding the school
teacher. The defense made light of them,
and insisted that there was nothing In
them aside from the fact that Miss Van
VIE was a much-abuSed woman, mas
much as she did not know that Horton
was married, and, therefore, there could
have been no such planning
Horton was quite talkative to Minneapo-
lis reporters before his departure from that
city yesterday, and seemed to want his
friends to know just what he was about.
81 do not wish to keep any part OF this
matter aEsecret," he SAID, under circum-
stances with which the public is
already familiar. After the we'd
ding we will come to st. Paul,
where we will take up our residence L
have informed my employers and all my
friends OF this step and they do not seem
to censure me, but there are doubtless
great many who believe that murdered
my wife in order to marry Miss Van Vie,
IN spite OF the fact that the body of my
little girl was found, and l was acquitted
by Jury. My marriage now will proba-
bly, serve to confirm the belief in the minds
of some and bring forth bitter remarks
from them. | shall strive, however, to so
live in the community that those about me
will know that l am not Il criminal, but an
honest man.

The maintenance and extension

There is a strong demand for a federal

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. 1S.-Sir
Julian Pauncefote, the British minister,
has officially called the attention of the
United States to violation of the terms
TO modus vivendi in effect between
the two countries, as to the catch of seal
IN Behring Sea. Bv the agreement
between the two countries, the North
American Commercial Company, which
leases the seal islands from the United
States, was restricted in the catch of
seal this year to $500 skins. It is al
legged that the Commercial Company has
exceeded this catch, thus violating the
modus vivendi, and the British govern
ment has called the United States to &C.
count for it.
Special Agent Williams, of the Treas
ury Department, has made a special re-
port on this branch of the seal ques-
ton to the Treasury Department, and
his report was to-day forwarded
to the State Department with the
request that its contents be laid
before the British minister for
transmission to the foreign office in Lon
don. The contents of Agent Williams re-
port cannot be accurately ascertained, but
1t is understood that he makes the admis-
sion that the North American Commercial
Company has exceeded the limit of the
catch-7,5O0 skinS-fxed by the modus
vivcndi.
The matter is regarded here as quite i'm
portant, and may lead to the modus vlven-
eli being declared imperative after this
date.
LONDON, Sept. Recommending upon
two articles on the Behring sealing Ques-
ton published in its columns. the Times
calls the Americans claims preposterous.
1t says: "Ther action is arbitrary and
high-handed. Their arguments, as far
as they can be put into ineligible shape,
are worthy of the most rigid school of
British game preservcrs. The seal is a
wild animal, and there will never be any
danger OF It's determination on the high
seas. The danger comes from excessive
slaughter when the animals are per-
fectly helpless. If the Americans
choose, by indiscrimlnate slaughter, to
destroy htir own industry, we are help
less; but they cannot be allowed to mo-
nopoliZe the seals by claiming property IN
the high seas and their contents. If they
will show a reasonable spirit of compro-
mise, it will be good thing to come to
an arrangement not for close season,
which is Inappropriate to the conditions
of the case, but for a closure during the
breeding season Of an area of perhaps 70
miles round the breeding grounds.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. I'm. Fl.
De Young, a member eff the National Re-
publican Executive Committee, arrived
here last evening from New York in COM
pany with Gen. Clarkson. He said the ex-
ecutive committee would shortly call a
meeting of the national committee, which
will determine the time and place of holding
the Republican national convention. '"The
cOnventiOn,' he said evil be held within
six months of the meeting OF the national

mer heat that worried us so badly at Chi
ca2O last time. The committee Will doubt
less convene here in November, and the
convention will take place some time dur
ing the month of May, 1892
81 have often been quoted in the papers
of the country as saving that California
was for this man for president or the other.
Such stories have been manufactured from
the cloth in its entirety. No dec
laration of our preference has been
given out. At the right time we will
speak, bat first of all there must be n
distinct understanding on the matter.
California insists on and means to have
one member in the cabinet. When the
present one was constructed we hoped for
the recognition we were entitled to but
were ignored. There will be n vacancy
soon, but I can't tell whether one of our
citizens will be selected.
Sin 1892 there will be an explicit under
standing that the Pacific Coast is not to be
dlSregarded. Our country Is q peculiar
section that has peculiar needs and differ
ent claims from the rest of the country.
No Eastern man can understand our
