The photograph OF the alleged Mr.
Logan, OF Hamilton, arrived In Sharon
to-day from the chief Of police Of that
place, and 1t Is said to be, beyond a
doubt, the photograph OF A. S. Lanerty

him could take oath to that effect. He
still denies having any knowledge Of
the affair, also that he was not in any
way connected with the disappearance
OF Miss Relchert. Mr.. Reichert will go
to Canada for the purpose of identify

II now comes out that Lafterty and

LONDON, March T.-The Earl Of

Lord Rosebery complained Of the for

duced the diseased animals bill, Wnicn
was a final damper upon one OF the
great sources OF trade OF the Canadian
breeders with Great Britain. He did
not know how to reconcile these tWo'
but he strongly suspected that the "a.

man OF business would prefer not 20
have had this great scheme promulgated
ON condition that Mr.. Longs Dill had
not been submitted.
Lord Rosebery further charged the
government with deplorable want OF
Continuity in the foreign policy. He
pointed out that within six months they
mad been on the verge Of war with the
United States, and then with Germany,
and now they were embarldng on war
AGAINST no particular enemy that he
could discover. He passed overtime black

Mr. Hill had excited his suspicious, and
he suggested that the date be changed
