the innocence of Mrs. Surratt by the burn

former counsel, and the statements of Mr..
Clampitt as to Father Walters's story. Mr..
De Witt said that it would be difficult to
destroy the proofs OF Mrs. Surratts inno-

ever is a demonstration rather of the want
of proof OF her guilt. In gathering the

lead to some interesting results, and also

similar to those over Boring sea. AS part
of the appropriation for the protection of
salmon fisheries in Alaska there is a pro-
vision that the Secretary of the Treasury is
authorized to send an inspector to investi-
gate and report on taking and destruction
of the eggs of wild fowl and the alleged
wanton destruction of game birds, deer, fox
and other animals in Alaska. A report is
also asked to what methods should be taken
to prevent such destruction in the future

TROUBLE AT OTTAWA.
Resignation of Two Members of the

Cabinet Owing to to DissensiOns.
OTTAWA, Ont, March 27.-There is more
excitement in political circles to-day than
at. any time since the news was received
here of the sudden death of Sir John
Thompson. That there are serious dissen-
sions in the Cabinet goes without saying.
There are two causes for this want of
harmony. One is the recent passage Of the
order in Council recommending the Mani
toba government to grant remedial legisla-
ton to the Catholic minority. This order
has pleased nobody. The Catholics of Que

question of provincial education. The other
cause of trouble was the decision of the
Cabinet to hold a session of Parliament be-

terly opposed by Hon. George Foster, Min

by two causes. In the first place his adj

his claim to lead the House of Commons

of Justice, which portfolio Sir Charles Tup-

Minister of Finance, who has quite enough
to do in his own department. The leader
of the House has the first claims to the
premiership, and as Sir Mackenzie Bowel
is an old man Sir Charles Topper is very
anxious TO have the right of succession.
In addition to these definite facts, there
is very pronounced rumor to the effect
that Finance Minister Foster and Mr. "
Clark Wallace. the controller of customs
will also resign. Should this prove true
