1 French Canadians went to Montreal in
| great numbers to vote Tuesday. One Of
the visitors said ''We have come in the
hour of peril to relieve the church and
our language from destruction by the
spoiler, de Boucherville." A circular
has been distributed throughout New
England urging those who have votes In
| Que bee to return. A committee has been
formed because, as the circular says,
.'We are now witnessing in our dear
province of Quebec our constitution vio-
lated and tyrants governing US aud leav-
ing our beloved province to ruin and to
the eradication of all that is Canadian
and Catholic" In the Catholic churches
Sunday no reference was made to poll
! ties. This is looked upon as extremely
significant and indicating that the church
is leaving the contest severely alone.
| The farewell banquet to Mr.. Reid, the
retiring United States minister TO Paris,
| is fixed for March "a and vii be held in
the sale de fete of the Hotel Continental.
| The American banker, Mr.. Harics, will
preside. The farewell address, engrossed
on parchment. will be read by Consul
General King. Among the guests out
side of the American colony will be the
members of President CARROTS military
household, General Brugere probably
representing President Carnot; Ministers
Ribot, Roche and ROuvier; Deputies
Spuller, Meline and Sigfried; Senator
Barley, and NJ, de Blawitz.
A dispatch from Warsaw says that Of
late the Polish revolutionists have been
extremely active in propagating their
doctrine of free Poland among all classes
of the inhabitants, and the authorities
have taken severe measures to repress
the further spread of the idea. One of
the steps taken by the military to thwart
the success of the propaganda is TO billet
soldiers at private residences, which it is
believed will effectually prevent any dis
cussion Of plans to bring about an organ
lied movement against the ears author
ity.
An attempt was made to Kill the ear
ina in her carriage Sunday. A man ran
out from the crowd aud threw parcel
at the carriage which he evidently in
tended should fall inside the window.
Instead it fell back of the rear wheel.
The cry of 'police' was raised aud the
man disappeared il the crowd. Several
arrests were made but the result is still
uncertain. The parcel was au iron pipe,
closed at both ends, containing liquid,
supposed to be an explosive but no anal
ysis has yet been mace.
Twelve thousand loaves Of bread were
distributed on Saturday to the poor OF
I Vienna, who came out in the streets TO
receive it. Twenty seven women faint
ed from hunger while waiting in the
snow. Austria is coping with Russia in
the tragedy of starvation. But the
story about many children clothed with
only handkerchief about the lons and
another around the neck i'll bitter winter
weather seems altogether faky. The
case is certainly bad enough. Ii is most
unwise to eXaggerate the facts.
The Mormons through Delegate Cain
have presented a memorial 10 the presi-
dent reciting their wrongs and oppres-
sions under the Edmunds- Tucker act
and asking that an amnesty he pro-
claimed. They allege that polygamy
has been suppressed forever and that the
Mormons should be restored t. full
political privileges and that thtre is no
reason why poygamists should be
further punished.

new industry in this country and domes-
ticate in favored parts of the United
States the pure breed of angora goat,
the hair of which makes the finest mo-
hair used in ladies' dress fabrics. South
ern California, Arizona and other parts
of the United States, it is said, are well
adapted to the wants of these animals,
and it is proposed to domesticate them
in California first.

of the department of justice. who wore
out the warrants for the arrest OF the
whiskey trust officials last week, has
been investigating the methods Of the

days. The facts which Mr.. Horton has
secured will probably be laid before The
grand jury at Boston, New York or
Philadelphia.
