Sir Charles Tupper's scheme.

ToRoNTo, Ont-A special cabel dispatch
from London TO the Globe says: Two or
three cable messages respecting Sir John
MacDonald's condition continue to be
published daily here. The news is followed
with the closest interest throughout the
kingdom Meanwhile there are no tidlngs
of Sir Charters plans. At the high com
missioners Office nothing is known. Var
ious inquiries in unofficial circles where
his movements are generally closely fol
lowed had the same result 1t is believed
that he is still in Vienna, but two other
colonial delegates TO the postal congress
hrve already returned to London. Among
the many who are acquainted with Sir
Charles Tupper's long cherished desire
for the succession to the leadership, the
belief gains ground that his present line of
action is followed because it is thought
best calculated to stimulate request from
Ottawa to r. turn and assume command.
Whatever may be the issue of the present
position of the party, no one here expects
Sir Charles Tupper 10 remain in London
many weeks longer.

PARKERsBURG, June 6.-At the meeting
of the Episcopal Council the question of
endorsing the selection of Phillips Brooks
to be Bishop of Massachusetts provoked
considerable discussion. The subject was
brought up by resolution offered by Mr..
Amber endorsing and approving OF the
action of the standing committee, which 1t
was understood had approved OF the cleo
ton of Rev. Phillips Brooks 10 the Bishop
ric of Massachusetts. Half dozen
speeches were made by as many pastors
favoring or objecting to the pas sage OF the
resolution Those who opposed IL did not,
as they said, do so because they objcc ed
to the conservation of DR.. Brooks, but be-
cause they thought (some of them) it un-
necessary. superfiuous, in fact. They ap-
proved of the action of the
committee, but thought the passage
of the resolution was setting a prece-
dent which might at some timein the future
prove troublesome, etc. Others objected
on the ground that the committee had as
vet made no report. DR. Sands, believe,
offered the resolution on this ground, but
the chairman of the committee in response
said that the committee had acted, al
though the actian had not been formally
presented. After Il good deal OF talk, IN
which several of DR. Brooks peculiar
views were pretty well aired, although all
thought him an eminent and good man, and
one of the most brilliant in the country,
Zone of these short speeches was somewhat
cutting), the vote was taken and the reso-
luton carried.
4 communication was received and read
by Bishop Peterkin from Judge j. +. Rog-
ers, of Wheeling, in which was enclosed a
check for 81 ,l33 32, the amount of bequest
made by a lady in Wheeling for the perma-
nent fund of the diocese. The Bishop
made the check payable to the treasurer.
All the committees made final reports
this afternoon and the Council adjourned
to meet at Martinsburg the first Wednes-
day in June, 1892. Nearly all the ministers
and delegates have gone home.

Night-Deep Grief.

OTTAWA, ONT, June Sir John Mac
Donald is no more. The distinguished
statesman who has guided the political
destinies of Canada for nearly half

so bravely during the fatal illness, is now
prostrated with the grief All the church
bells are toling anu thousands of citizens
are expressing deep regret at the Premier's
demise
For hours members of the household had
been watching at the bedside waiting
to see life depart. Although the
physicians declared last night that Sir
John could not live until morning, they
had not made allowance for his marvellous
vitality. He had lost consciousness thirty
hours ago and had taken no nourishment
since, save small quantities of champagne,
which were administered with difficulty.
The Premier, sick unto death, kept up the
unequal struggle until after 10 o'clock to-
night.

UP IN ARMS.
Another Insurrection In India-Troops
Sent to Suppress 1t.

LONDON, June 6.-From india comes the
news Of another uprising, this time in the
State of Keonjhar.
The rebels have swept everything before
them, robbed the treasurer of the Mohara-
ilh and are prepared 10 defend themselves
against British Interference.
The Seventeenth Bengal infantry has
started TO put down the insurrection, which
if strictly local in its character, and is be-
lieved not to be formidable. The cause Of
the outbreak appears TO have been the con-
duct of the Maharajah, who has of late been
expressing his subjects with excessive tax
alton. He has added to the discomfort by
receiving Persian slave into his harem as
a wife, thereby giving great offence to the
orthodox Hindoos.
The Senayutty of Manipur. who is con-
sidered chiefly responsible for the killing
of Commissioner Quinton and his party, has
been put on trial before a court martial
composed of leading British officers. His
fate is settled in advance, the trial being
merely formality. He will probably be
hanged, punishment which, owing to his
princely rank, cannot fail to make sensa-
tion in Inuia.
