Tupper Gets Excited.

LONDON, June 30.-The second congress of
empire is in session.
Among the resolutions was one by Mr..
Medley, declaring that fiscal union between
Great Britain and her colonies, by preferen-
tial duties, would be politically disastrous,
and that the arrangement that would best
conduce to an intimate commercial union
would be for self-governing colonies to adopt,
as closely as circumstances would permit,
the non-protective policy of Great Britain.
Sir Charles Upper, Canadian high COM
missioner to England, opposed the motion.
He said the American Mckinley bill showed
of the American octopus throwing his tenta-
Giles over the West Indies and Spanish An
titles, with view to driving out British
trade, and it was gong to do SO. British
consuls reported that Great Britain had lost
Brazil and that America was getting hold
under her reciprocity system. Americans,
he declared, did English commerce greater
wrong than did the Mckinley tariff, in their
efforts to drive England out of the southern
hemisphere.
They attacked Canada also under the mis-
taken idea that by imposing duties upon pro-
ducts for which they are Canada's natural
market they could bring Canadian producers
to their knees and leave the Canadians no
alternative but to become part of the United
States. Sir Charles said that in 1880 Canada
took one-seventh of the manufactured ex-
ports of the United States, but that was not
enough to save them, in the presence of the
Monroe doctrine, from one government from
equator to pole.
Other Canadian delegates supported the
preferential policy.

An Address Issued Reminding
Working People Of Their Strength,
and Warning Them Against a
Course Which May Result In Civil
War.

LONDON, June 29.-Lord Salisbury has is
sued an address to the electors of the king
dom. The document, while reminding them
that their votes will decide whether parlia-
ment shall be empowered to grapple with
important social questions or wasted upon
the protracted Irish struggle, contends that
the working classes are SO powerful that no
party is likely to disregard their unanimous
wish. The vital question of Ireland overtops
all Others. A wrong decision will mean q
bitter ana protracted struggle, eliminating
probably in civil war. Or even doom the 10y

ancient and unchanging enemies. The ad-
dress implores the electors to pause before

BERLIN, July 5.-Prince Bismarck has been
assiduously entreated at Kissingen to deliver
further structures on the]emperor and Chans
cellor Caprivi. He maintains, however, alb
solute silence, except to deny having attacked
the emperor. His newspaper organs have
also become silent. This silence does not
mean cessation of the contest.
Parties are excited and are ranging Them
selves for or against Prince Bismarck. The
leaders of the national liberals, though dis
approving of the princes recent utterances.
are ready to resent any interference With
him or to oppose the government if it ven-
lures upon prosecution. strong section Of
the conservatives are in a similar mood. On
the other hand, the freissinige party and tho
central party want the government to take
immediate action against the prince. At
meeting of the central party speakers de-
clared that the revelations made by Prince
Bismarck verged upon high treason, and that
he ought to be tried for that offense. They
denounced him as seeking to embroil Europe
in order to avenge himself upon the emperor
and Chancellor Won Caprivi.
In a private letter to Hamburg friend,
abiding to the threatened prosecution OF
himself, Prince Bismarck says he has too
much respect for himself not to know the
limit beyond which he ought not to go.
