A CRISIS IN CANADA.
Deficit OF Millions and Threats OF Bit.
fer Religious War.


Quebec, March 25.-The political crisis
at Ottawa is growing in intensity. For
nearly q month there have been almost
daily sittings Of the cabinet, and still
the question is undecided whether the
ministers will meet in parliament as
usual next month or whether they will
seek permission from the governor-gen-
eral to dissolve parliament and appeal
to the country.
A deficit of some millions of dollars in
the Federal finances, owing to the con-
tinued depression Of business and con-
sequent falling of in imports and GUS
toms dues, is one of the troubles. But
the greater difficulty confronting the
government is the solution of the Man
itoba school question, which has now
attained such proportions that it almost
threatens the country with a religious
war.

Washington, March 25.-No official
confirmation of the attempted assissa-
tion of Ii Hung Chang has been re-
ceived at either the Chinese or Japa-
nese legations. The general feeling
here is one of profound regret that this
venerable Chinese diplomat should
have fallen victim to 1 fanatics bull
let. Its effect upon the peace negotia-
tions cannot be determined, for much
Will depend upon the result. Should Ii
recover after Il short illness, the only
result, ii Is believed, would be to delay
n settlement of peace. Should he die
a poStpOnement of the peace negotia-
tlons for number of weeks Is regarded
as Inevitable. So great is the conf
dence of the Japanese enVuys and the
japanese people as well in LIS ability
to further a settlement OF peace, that
his death would make it difficult to se
cure another envoy on the part of China,
who would be equally acceptable to
Japan, or who, it is believed. would 50
easily bring the negotiations to Il sue
cessful close.
The ASsussiu'S uishmeut.
The punishment which LIS assassin
will receive will be both speedy and Sc
we're. The attack upon Ii. who is the
direct representative of the Emperor of
China. is tantamount to an attack upon
the emperor himself and will. for this
reason. be sternly dealt with. Even
should Ii recover, it is regarded as
probable that Koyamd, the assassin,
will be condemned to death as 4 warn
ing to his fellow cOuntrymen.

the east side is an advanced portico
which breaks the facade. This gave rise
to the vulgar impression that Philips

they lived have been taken away. The
