CANUCK ANNEXATION.

OTTAWA Ont, Feb 28.-Iu addressing
the house of commons today Mr.. Tarte,
who formulated the serious charges whic b
have been laid against Sir Adolph Caron,
said that it could not be denied that there
was a great feeling of unrest in the Do
minion, and while he regretted to admit
it, it gas fact that if vote Of the peo-
pie of the province of Que
bee were taken on the question of annexa-
tion today, two thirds of the constituent
cies would vote for political union with
the United States The feeling was by
30 means confined TO the Frenchspeakiug
population. He challenged the president
of the council to deny the fact that, in the
eastern townships, which district Of the
province he represented in the cabinet,
there was not prounced feeling favOriug
annexation. AS regards himself be was
opposed to the agitation, but he could not
close his eyes to the fact of the existence
of pronounced sentiment all over the Do
miuion calling for political union with the
republic, which would uadoub tedly be
the ultimate destiny OF Canada, unless
there is quick and early change in the
administration of public affairs and hon
est government

Nothing So Remarkable Has Ever Been

Have you ever seen her-the woman

If not you should, for outside of a muse

that one she was determined To have

her fingers in the bowl of water near at

Special Dispatch to the Daily Eagle.
TOPEKA, Kan, Feb. 23.-There is hardly
anv question now that the Republicans,
with the assistance of the three Demo-
Gratis, and perhaps some populIsts, will in
the event of the supreme courts decision
being in favor of the Republican house,
proceed at once to the election of United
States senator. Bailey p Waggener is
the man who will receive the necessary
number of votes to elect him, and in the
joint convention there will be the consti-
tutional number voting.
DIR. Neeley of Leayenworth, spokesman
for John Martin, who is now in Washing
ton claiming that he is United States
senator ffom Kansas, is seen at all hours
of the day and night pulling and working
with the Democrats who recognize the
Republican house to keep them from vot-
ing for Waggener. To conceal the fact
that there is a bigger row between Click
and Martin than there ever was before has
been his task, but it is too apparent now,
and all attempts to conceal it are ridicul-
Gus. Before forty-eight hours it will be
known throughout the state that Martin
did not give Click any real support for
the cabinet position he wanted, and that
be now believes that Click is paying him
back by encouraging the Democrats to
help elect Waggener.
The arguments before the supreme court
today i'll the case which will decide
whether the Republican house is legal
house or not, were all first class. Carver
made splendid effort for the Republicans,
while Eugene Hagan's speech against the
legality of the Republican house was con-
sidered by the lawyers to be very fine.
Clemens, the Anarchist made an on
slaught on the Republicans and almost
warned the court of the terrible things
which may happen if it should decide
against the populists Judge Frank Dos
ter made a powerful argument for the
pOpullsts. He quoted from many author
tiles to sustain MS position that the court
could not examine into the question as to
the legality of the Republican house. The
court will render its decision on Saturday
morning.

MITCHELL CRAWFISHES.

New YORK, Feb. 23-Charlie Mitchell
has made public declaration that he will
not meet Brady, Corbstt's manager, in
Canada on Saturday to sign articles, de-
spite the fact that he gave his word that
he would. He now wants the $40, 900 stake
money deposited in New Orleans. Mitchell
says that he has given up all points asked
by Corbett, and Is not now anxious TO sac.
rifice himself on the laws altar for vio-
lation of the statutes against pugihstic
encounters. He remarked that there were
no objections to prize fighting until he
came TO this country, and proposes that
Corbett meet him somewhere where arti-
cles may be signed without transgressing
the law. The fight is now virtually OF.
Ldter.-At a conference held late to-
night between Brady, Squire Abingdon
and Mitchell, the men agreed to fight and
10 do away with all further pickering.
The articles of agreement will likely BE-
signed in private, and not at New Orleans
or in Canada After the conference Brady
expressed the opinion that Mitchell was
now in earnest and really desired to meet
Corbett.

was borne down the stairs Of the city hail
by a detachment OF the louisiana field
artillery. The casket was placed upon a
caisson and wrapped in an American flag.
The militia beaded the funeral colu mn,
every company in the city turning ont.
The veteran association followed, and
then came the inmates of the Confederate
soldiers home in wagonettes. The cais-
son, guarded by mounted artillerymen,
was next, and then came line OF carriages
several miles long. The various eX-
changes Were closed and business was
practically suspended, and an immense
concourse lined the streets. The process
sion took nearly two hours to reach the
cemetery. The remains were laid away in
the tomb of the Army OF the TenneSses at
Metaire over which stands a statue or
General Albert Sidney Johnston. There
was a brief religious ceremony at the
grave. A company of veterans of the
Washington artillery fired three yolleys
over the grave, the Louisiana field artil-
Iery fired three guns, the bugler sounded
taps. and the family was left alone with
the dead.
One local veteran organization has
already begun movement looking to the
erection or a Beauregard monument.
