OTTAWA, Ont, May 6.--The impeach-
ment of Sir Adolph p. Caron, post
master geperal of Canada, for malfeas-
ance in Office. preferred by J. D. Edgar,
has assumed . new and almost unex-
pected shape.
On the reopsning of the debate,
Mackenzie Bowel, minister of militia,
cut large portion Of the ground from
under the feet Of the opposition by
abandoning tho position occupied by the
government, and moving an amendment
to Mr.. Edgar's motion that royal COM
mission be appointed to take the evi-
dence on all these charges and lay 1t
before the house when complete. The
.@ompromise is the result Of vigorous
kiclT.ag on the part Of the governments
supportsrs.
The compromise last with strong and
intense opposition ID ID animated de-
bate. The Liberals wef0 enfagsd ct
the change of the government md the

y New YoRK, May 6.-Mr. Charles

ter to Russia, who arrived on the Teu-
tonic Wednesday, in an interview with
q reporter of the United Press. said he
was very glad to get back. With re-
gard to the situation in Russia he said
1t had been In no way exaggerated. The
ravages of tina famine had been felt in
its serious form. He believed, however,
that the worst was over and the sur
vivors would soon be free from famine
and disease. The generosity of the
Americans, he said, was extolled every
where from the car down to the low
est serf. Speaking Of national politics
Mr.. Smith said he thought that Harri-
son would undoubtedly get the nomina-
tion. He would not venture an opinion
on the vice presidency. He was of the
opinion that the Democratic candidate
would come from the West. Mr.. Smith
did not think he would return to Rus
sia.

. rumor prevails that DR.. Casanas,
Palacio's commander-in-chief, has been
killed in his camp by party Of pre-.

Not much credence is given to the story.
Another rumor current is that Valencia
has been captured by Mora and his
army of blacks. Fears are entertained
that Ybarra is . prisoner. This report
Is doubtless caused by General Crespo's
sudden appearance so near Victoria
and the arrival of Guerra to the north
of that city. The belief is general that

Kolb's Vote.

The republican newspapers pretend to find
| great deal of satisfaction in the fact that
the majority of Gov. Jones. of Alabama, is
much smaller than il was at first reported
20 be. The reason for this satisfaction is
/ not hard to understand. There was a deal
undoubtedly between Mr.. Kolb and the
! white republican leaders. In the counties
which Kolb carried there is large white
republican vote. In some Of these counties
in 1888 Gen. Harrison received majorities
and in some others OF them Dir. Cleveland's
msjorities were very small. The counties
which Kolb carried gave him a majority Of
about %, 600. These same counties in 1888
cast %, $50 republican votes. 1t is appar-
eut, therefore, that Mr.. Kolb's majority
was just about equal to the republican vote
in those counties.
The republican newspapers are arguing
from Gov Jones' small majority that the
republicans can carry Alabama In Novem-
Der. They seem to think that the democrats
who voted for Mr. Kolb at the state election
will vote for Gen. Harrison in November,
aud that the blacks who voted for Gov.
Jones will also vote for Gen Harrison.
1t is highly probable that they are mis-
taken. The democrats who voted for M.
Kolb will not vote the republican national
ticket They supported K1lb tor various
reasons, but they will not permit them
selves to be led out of the Democratic
party. Before the November election it
will become quite evident that the demo
Gratis, whether they voted for Gov. Jones or
Mr.. Kolb, will support the democratic
national ticket The Kolb democrats are
aware Of the purpose Of the republican
leaders to capture the electoral vote OF the
state for Gen. Harrison, and they will not
aid them in doing It.
The black voters, those who voted for
Gov. Jones and those who voted for Mr..
Kolb will, in all probability, vote the
republican national ticket IN November, but
as the Republican party in Alabama is not
organized, it is not likely that it will cast
much larger vote than it did in 1888.
1t may safely be assumed that the repub-
licans helped Mr.. Kolb with the expectation
that he and his friends would help them to
carry the state in November, and
they will be greatly disap-
pointed when they find out that
Mr.. Kolb cannot deliver any votes to
them. The democrats who supported Mr..
Kolb have not abandoned the Democratic
party. They will vote the democratic ma
tional ticket in November. By helping Mr.
Kolb they did not think they were voting
against the Democratic party. They in
sisted they were only opposing one faction
Of 1t. There will be no democratic factions
in November. There is very little reason,
therefore, for rejoicings of the republican
newspapers over the prospect the repub-
licaus have Of winning Alabama from the
democracy in November.
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1892-08-10

A dispatch to the New York World tells
q pleasing story Of how lynching was
averted on Smiths Island, Virginia, one day
last week by cool-headed minister. A man
who had given information In court against
some Of the islanders causing them to be
sent to prison for long terms, was recognized
among a crowd at a camp meeting. I'm
mediately the friends Of the men who had
been sent to prison determined upon re-
venge, and surrounded tho informer with
the intention Of Iynching him. A minister,
realizing that a tragedy was about to take
place, and knowing Of the great reverence
in which the deity is held by the
islanders, worked his way to a
prominent position in the midst
Of the mob and called out: LET us prav.n
and Immediately began praying fervently
that the blood of the intended victim might
not "be laid on our souls" while two other
ministers cut the bonds of the prisoner and
bade him go, withous protest from the
crowd. The story, whether it is true or not.
suggests that If there were more men with
sufficient moral courage and presence Of
mind to invite lynching mob TO join in
prayer before proceeding with their work,
there would be fewer lynohings Not many
men would do murder with an appeal to
heaven against the premeditated crime still
sounding in their ears.
