MIR. Grants presence has been desired for

he became u queens counsel. He was
member Of the Nova Scotia assembly from
1877 to 1882, and during that time served
on the executive council as attorney gen
eral and as premier of the province. In
1893 he was appointed u judge Of. the su-
preme court. In 1885 he resigned to be-
come minister of justice and attorney gen
eral of Canada. He was then elected to the
dominion parliament, and was reelected
in 1887. He received the order of knight
hood for his service in connection with
the fishery commission at Washington in

Sir John had long been sufferer from
heart affection, said to be fatty degenera-
ton. Among his colonial friends in Lon
don his death did not come with much sur

Ten minutes before he received the news

An Unsatisfactory Renort.

BALTIMORE, Dec. l3.-The promoters of
the Delaware ship canal are astounded at
the report of the commission appointed by
President Cleveland, which announced
that it had resolved on the Back Creek and
Old Chesapeake and Delaware canal
route. The permanent committee com
posed of members of the city council and
leading business men, say that their
wishes have been absolutely disregarded
and that the route selected would be of no
use to the commerce of the city

PREMIER TuoMpsoNs SUCCESSOR.
1t Is Believed That Sir Charles Topper
VIII be Called Upon.


MONTREAL, Dec. 13-The death of Sir
John Thompson, it is generally conceded,
will cause radical change in the political
situation here, which cannot fail to be
hurtful to the country, as Sir Johns mas
terful hand was the only one which sue
cessfully held together the many opposing
interests of the Conservative party. 1t is
generally thought that Sir Charles Topper
will be called home to take the premier
ship for the present.
Lady Thompson did not go to England
with her husband, and their two daughters
are in the convent at Saulte au Recollet.
Lady Thompson visited on Tuesday the
wife of Hon. j. A. Quimet, minister of
public works, and complained of an I'M
natural depression of mind and fear that
something was wrong with her husband
Mrs Quimet laughed at the idea, but it
seems that the unfortunate presentiment
was justified.
Sir John Thompson left Montreal in
excellent health Oct. u to settle num-
Der of questions pending between the OF
tawa government and the colonial office,
and the night before leaving enjoyed
little dinner at ST. Lawrence hall with Sir
Charles Topper and Hon. J. J. Curren,
solicitor general. On that occasion he re-
ferred to the future and the years of life
before him.
