II IS PREMIER ABBOTT.
HEsWII-L UNDERTAKE TO FORM
"A CANADIAN MINISTRY.

The Tory leaders Tender Him Their
Hearty suplsort-The French Con slider
His Selection am Afffont TO The1m-Sir
John Thompson Declined the Place.
The Hon. j. j. G. Abbott has been
called upon to form q Canadian Ministry,
and has undertakenSthe task
Under the circumstances, Lord Stan
ley, in calling upon Senator Abbott to
frame government, has done the only
thing that appeared feasible to enable
the Tory party to hold control of the
treasury bencheS'at Ottawa.
Sir John Thompson was first called,
but he soon discovered when he under
took the formation rof cabinet that it
was a task he wasTunable to carry to a
successful issue. He discovered that the
ultra-P Protestant province of Ontario,
which gave Sir4John Macdonald's Gov
eminent support of forty eight mem
bers, would not accept him as Prime
Minister, he having at one time turned
from Protestant to Catholic. Sir Charles
Tupper's attempt to wreck the Grand
Trunk Railway, the second largest cor
poration in the country, put him out OF
the race, SO that Senator Abbott was the
only one whom it was possible for the
Governor General to call upon, lest he
took up Sir Hector Langevin, who Ger.
tainly, by right of seniority, should have
been called. In passing over Sir Hector,
Lord Stanley has ignored the French
Canadian race
In advocating the candidature of Sir
Charles Upper, the Citizen, the Govern
ment organ at Ottawa, said provisional
Ministry will be a public proclamation
of weakness, flag of truce never yet
displayed by Conservatives
Mr.. Chap'eau was quite certain that
Sir John Thompson would be Premier.
He protested strongly against any pro-

The United States cruiser Philadelphia.
lying at the navy yard, had its forehold
badly damaged by fire which burned out
the provision and store room on the star
board side and necessitated the flooding of
the magazine, shell and ammunition rooms
to prevent the vessel from being blown up
Joseph James, the captain of the hold, who
was the only man in that part of the vessel
when the fire occurred, was fatally burned,
and a number of officers and men were over
come by the heat while fighting the flames.

RAILROAD EMPLOYEES MEET.
The Switchmen Make Serious Charges
Which Are Being Investigated.

The supreme council of the Federation
of Railway Employees adjourned it's annual
meeting at Chicago to meet next week at
Terre Haute. This was made necessary by
the Northwestern controversy uneNpect-
edly overshadowing all other matters. 1t
took the form Of charges brought against
the Brotherhood of Railway trainmen for
conspiracy with officials of the Northwest
ern road against the switchmen. Some of
the switchmen go so far as to assert that
any action adverse to them may result in
the withdrawal from the federation of
more than one order that would join with
the switchmen in forming a new organi-
cation. The council turned the matter over
to committee for consideration until the
next meeting.

Southern spcculations i'm the South.

Unless the indications i'm the Bardsley
case are wrong, the investigation is proba-
bly, close to finding out the whole remark
able story. The puzzle of what Bardsley
did with all the vast sums of money he stole
is not likely to puzzle much longer. Accord
ing to these indications it was not politics
nor a desire to enrich his friends, nor any
other of the improbable causes that have
been suggested, but Il sort of q blind pool in
southern speculations that wrecked the
keystone bank, drained the city treasury
and brought Honest John" Bardsley face
to face with lifelong imprisonment.

A Rlunder I'm Illinois.

The friends of the secret ballot in Illinois
are greatly chagrined to learn tina the bal
lot reform bill passed by the last assembly
as signed by the governor shows a gross err
ror on the part of some one. Section 2S
which provides that no ticket peddler shall
be allowed within one hundred or less feet
of the polls on election day is entirely miss
ing entirely from the bill. There is a diff
ference of opinion as to whether this omis-
sion invalidates the remainder of the bill or
not, but in any event there are now no
means of rectifying the error.

Negroes and Whites Conflict at Nashville

Trouble between blacks and whites has
broken out over an attempt made by q mob
of negroes to hang white man, who through
a mistake on the part of the negroes was
suspected of trying TO hang a negro. A
large number of white men and negroes
armed with guns were congregated on Il
principal street in the city and an officer
attempted to dispense them. A negro fired
twice at the officer, but: the bullets missed
him. A detachment of twenty officers was
sent out and dispersed the crowd. Several
arrests for carrying arms were made. The
negroes cut the only telephone wire in that

William Mckinley jr. was nominated for
governor by the Ohio republicans with great
enthusiasm 1t is expected that the demo-
Gratis will renominate Gov. Campbell and d
battle royal will follow in the Buckeye
state. 1t is generally felt that as Ohio goes
this fall so may the union go in 1892 and
both parties will strain every nerve to win
this important preliminary battle. The re-
publicans boldly stand by the protective
principle and nominate it's distinctive apos-
tie as their candidate. The democrats will
sharply antagonize this position. Upon the
silver question the republican convention
demands the amended coinage act of the
last congress by which the entire production
of the silver issue of the United Sta ties will
be added to the currency.
