FRENCHMEN AROUSED.
Ex-Premier MERCER of Quebec APP
peals to His Countrymen.
COMPLAINTS OF BRITISH TYRANNY
He Urges All to Stand by One
Another.
A CANADIAN SENS ALTON

MONTREAL, june ga most sensational
feature Of the anniversary of the French Can
adam patron saint st. Jean Baptiste, and The
two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the
founding OF Montreal is an address issued to the
French Canadians and all Catholics by Count
Honore Mercier, ex-premier Of the province Of
Quebec.
He refers in infammatory language to the
aggression Of the English mai GRITTY in Canada
which he claims is violating treaty laws with
audacity. English tyranny is seen in Canada
by Ito use Mr.. Mercier's words) "the abolition
OF the French language. bv the exile and con-
fiscation, by political scaffolds and inhuman ex-
ecution OF young men whose crime is to love
their country too well; by expulsion in Canada
OF men, women and children, laying waste our
fields, and by robbing and plundering our
farmers, defenseless as they all we're; and
at last by the execution of Riel. The story
tells what British fair play as understood by
the fanatical section Of the country means. BY
the butchery Of Joan OF Are, the noble
heroine burned alive at Rouen by the British,
by the blowing from the cannon's mouth of
prisoners OF war in India by the English and
by her arbitrary laws whereby Irish Catholics
were obliged to pay tithes to Protestant
ministers.
only remedy against British oppression is by
the alliance of French Canadians and all Cath
olics, and that If they don't combine to protect
themselves both their nationalities and their re-
hgion will be done away
The address is being widely criticised
throughout the province and is creating great
sensation, as 1t is thought it will make the
breach between the English and French in the
province of Quebec wider than ever.

cure his extraditlOn, sent Doctors Charcot and

to the chamber of deputies stating that his con-
ditlon was such that he could not be moved.

Another Murder In London, but 1t IL Not
Charged to the Mysterious Assassin.
LONDON, June 26.-The foul crimes Of Jack
the Ripper" were again called to mind last
night by murder that was committed in Roth
erhith, a suburb a short distance to the south
east Of London. The body OF woman belong
ing to the unfortunate class was found with the
throat cut, the wound showing that the knife
had been used from left to right, as was the
in all the murders committed by the ripper
in the Whitechapel district OF London.
Persons in the street after the murder was
done state that they heard woman scream
two Or three times. Thew ran in the direction
OF the sounds and found the woman lying on
the pavement with the blood streaming from
an awful cash in her throat. She was uucon-
scious when found and died a few minutes
afterward.
The police we're promptly on the scene, hav-
Ing been alarmed by the screaming, but the
murderer had effected his escape. leaving not
The slightest clue to his identity. The degraded
women Of Rotherhith are panic stricken by the
fate that has befallen another of their class.
The body of the dead woman was not mutilated
in the disgusting manner that characterized the
crimes of Jack the Ripper" but it is thought
that the assassin frightened AWAY by the
sound of approaching footsteps before he had
time to mutilate the body.

of the dead woman for possible clue to the
murderer. They don't believe that Jack the

She Never Came Back.

From the Chicago Herald
She was a coy Young woman, and she looked
decidedly pretty in her new summer costume
when Guard White beheld her sitting on one
of the divans in the art gallery yesterday after
noon. He gave her several Of his most killing
looks and she responded with the sweetest Of
smiles. and the heart of the young man in blue
beat so hard that the kettle drums in the Turk
ish village were not to be compared for sound.
As he gszed into the young woman's hmpid
ewes the order of Col. Rice that all members of
the Columbian guard must desist from flirting
was forgotten. As he walked proudly to and
fro each turn brought him nearer to the smil-
ing beauty and each time his manly bosom
was thrilled by the smile she gave him.
This sort of thing went on for several min
utes. when she arose. and, as she swept into the
vestibule. she cast him sidelong glance which
plainly said: Follow me-" The guard did so.
By the side of one of the columns stood his
charmer and she extended a dainty hand,
which sank out of view in his white glove.
After a few minutes conversation the girl asked
for the time, and Guard White CALAMITY
pulled from his vest pocket the handsome gold
watch he carried
.,Oh. it is half-past s." she cried. .'and I
must let mamma know the time. She site right
in there. Poor, dear thing. she is awfully deaf
and one has to scream to make her
hear Just let me take your watch a moment
while take it in and show il to her and viii
be right back"
1t took the guard less than asecond TO unsnap
the chain which held tho timepiece. and, hand
ing it to the charmer. he watched her run into
the gallery.
And then he waited for her return.
She never came back.

Raiiroadiny in Palestine.

From the London Daily News.
ANY passengers for Joppa?" was considered
half a century ago highly absurd exercise Of
the prophetic faculty, as may be seen on refer
ence to one of Mr.. "Punch,s" early volumes.
Railway travelling in Palestine. however, is
now an established fact, and the new line
from Jaffa (anciently Joppa) 10 Jerusa-
lem, regarding which a detailed Official
report is on the point Of being issued. lie in
good working order, trains having been run
ming daily since the line was formally opened
last autumn. The line is n narrow gauge one
that is, one yard and one-eighth. It's entire
length, ffty-four miles, is traversed in three
and half hours. The Haifa and Damascus
railway. commenced last summer. is also
in course of construction. This latter
line, which is of the ordinary English
gauge, and consequently will be able TO attain
the usual high rate OF speed, will pass through
the most popuious and fruitful districts OF
Syria. and promises to be n very successful en-
terprise or. in other words, TO become the
principal, as well as commercially the most

NAVAL wARSHIPS,
More in State of Preliminary Acceptance
Than Ever Before.

Than Ever Before.
At the present time there are more naval
ships In state of preliminary acceptance by
the government than ever before. Five have
had their official trials since the beginning of
the year, and all have exceeded their contract
requirements except the monitor Monterey,
built at San Francisco, whose horse power the
builders failed TO develop by a small margin.
This ship has been finally accepted by the Sec
rotary, however, and hereafter her name will
be borne on the naval register a commits
stoned vessel. The other ships which have
been tried and are waiting final acceptance are
the Bancroft. Detroit, New York and Machias,
all of which will be formally turned over to the
government during the summer.
Commodore Melville. chief OF the bureau Of
steam engineering. who has just returned from
q visit TO the New York navy yard, says that the
Marblehead is undoubtedly one Of the best
ftted-out ships Of the new cruisers. The work
on her. he says. is gratifying to the depart
ment. inasmuch she is the first vessel built
for the government by the Boston firm.
Changes in her interior arrangements will delay
her trial until late in the summer.
