Sir Mackenzie Bowel VIII Attempt to Re.
organize the Government.
OTTAWA, Ont, Jan. 1O.-In the house
of commons yesterday, Sir Adolphe E.
Caron announced that Premier Bowel
had several interviews with the gov
ernor general Wednesday. which re-
suited in the premier offering his res
ignation to his excellency. The latter
intimated that he was not ready to re-
ceive it, because he thought parlia
ment should first have an OPP
portunity of considering and
passing an opinion upon the
speech from the throne. which was
now before it. Under these circum-
stances, Sir Mackenzie Bowel has, as
the head of the administration, consid-
cred it his duty, as far as in him lay,
to reorganize the government, and,
therefore, he (CarOn) moved that the
house adjourn until next Tuesday.
An exactly similar statement was read
in the senate by the premier.
Mr.. Laurier, the liberal leader, OBJ
jected TO any adjournment of more
than from day to day. as the constitu-
ton provided.
Beside reading in the senate the
same statement which was read before
the commons Premier Bowel said he
was willing to leave to the Judgment
of the people his own action and that
of his colleagues, who had attacked

Speculate on the Prospect of War Between
Their Country and England.
DETROIT Mich, Jan. 10.-The Abend
Post and Volksblatt. the German daily
papers of this city, comment editori-
ally on the threatened trou BILE between
England and Germany. The Abend
Post takes the view that the English
wont fight-that they will bluff awhile
and then ''crawfish." as when Russia
occupied the Pamir, and when France
annexed half of Siam. The Post con-
siders the German torpedo fleet
match for the British navy.
The Volksblatt says:
The German emperor has made
himself most popular by his unex-
nected move. Germany needs colonies
more than any other nation on earth
does. and she must have them. The
English have hanpered them every
where and the Germans long for re-
venge.
Continuing, the Volksblatt expresses
the belief that war between Germany
and England would be Americas OPP
portunity. and says: ''As long as Can
ada remains British we never feel at
home in our country. If only the Ger.
man.English war would come."

a WEAK POINT.
1t VIII Take Millions of Money and a
Years Time to Perfect any
Coast Defenses.

Years Time to Perfect any
Coast Defenses.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1O-At meeting
yesterday of the senate committee On
coast defenses, of which Senator
Sqnires is chairman, It was shown by
statements made before the committee
10y officers of the bureau of engineers
that there is immediate need by the
department of S2,50O.OOO to be ex-
pended for torpedoes and torpedo
mines and for land defenses. The dis
cussion of the torpedo system by the
committee demonstrated that the tor
pedoes are of little value unless they
aredefended by guns, as they can easily
be removed by an enemy unless pro-
tected by artillery.
In case of a sudden emergency it
would take at least year, if the appro-
priation were made, to procure the ma
terial, manufacture the torpedoes and
put them in place at the principal ports
of the United States.
The chief of engineers advo Gated
the expenditure of $4,000, 600 during
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1897.
This sum, it is said, would not provide
the money necessary to be expended
by the ordnance bureau for guns and
gun carriages, but would cover the
cost for eElplacements for guns and Of
torpedoes.
The hearing is conducted in regard
to the bill introduced in the senate by
Senator Squire. providing for the de-
tense of the principal seaports O. The

AN OUTRAGEOUS TAX.
Dingleylsm Designs to Defraud the Amer1
can People.

D1ngioy1sm Designs to Defraud the Amef1-
can People.
The Dingley robber tariff bill (thia
title almost rhymes with the "Mc-
kinley robber tariff bill'') which the
republican house passed by an almost
| unanimous party vote restores wool to
the dutiable list. The proposition is
to again tax the peoples clothing and
I,blankets-one of the most outrageous
taxes that can be inflicted upon the
consumers of the land-and all for the
benefit of a few raisers Of fancy sheep
III Ohio.
The people have been fighting for
Tree wool for many years, and, now
that they have secured it, they will not
willingly surrender the boon. The
people declared for untaxed wool after
a long and careful investigation, and
there is no reason to suppose that they
have changed their views. The at
tempt of the republican congress to
reimpose in outrageous tax on wool
will result in the reputation of that
party at the polls next fall.
Why did the republicans provide for
a heavy tax on wool and wooden cloth
ing in this Dingley bill? The real
sheep raisers of the country did not
ask for it. 1t will not benefit them.
It will probably benefit a few men
who are engaged in fancy stock rails
ing, and who will thereby be enabled
to rob the public of vast sums of money.
BUT the general run of farmers who
raise wool for the market will not only
not be benefited--they will be injured
by this outrageous tax.
The American Wool and Cotton Re
porter gave an interesting review OF
the wooden trade of the United States.
1t showed that during the past year
the sales of raw wool in this country
aggregated s6,Ooo,O0O pounds more
than the sales of the previous year;
it showed that American wool had in
creased in price during the same pc
Rod, precisely as the advocates of I'M
taxed wool had predicted it would; it
showed, too, that remarkable devel-
opmcnt of the wooden industry had
taken place since raw wool was placed
On the free list.
Good Atwood clothes are cheap now,
cheaper than ever before, notwith-
standing the increase in the price of
native wool. This is accounted for by
the fact that the foreign wool which
enters into the goods is obtained with
out any tax. It has been demonstrated
that a cheap Goa. does not mean
cheap man under it.
No good reason can be assigned why
the American people should wish to go
back to the days of taxed wool.
The wool tax is an outrageous enc.

Kinleyism behind a new mask.-Illi-

certain bank, who, being struck with
the story told in connection with it.,
had it translated. The inscription cut
on it proved to be in the old Hindu
character and contained minute direc-

place of a treasure in gold, silver and
Jewels valued at 60 lakhs. The exact
spot was purchased and n bungalow
built over the hidden hoard, and IN the
course of couple of months, if things
prove to be as described on the tablet,

TWO SHAM MEASURES.

The Scaly Schemes of Republicans for
Relieving the Treasury.
Sorle Of our republican friends are
still trying to delude themselves into
the belief that the action of congress
was proper response tr the presidents
request to do something to relieve the
treasury. 1.-The house." VIC are told,
prepared and passed = bill to increase
at once the sure way Of affording the
gold reserve protection"
Did it? ON the republican theory the
only trouble with the treasury was a
lack OF revenue. The Dinghy bill was
offered as the remedy. 1t will add
$40, 600, 900 to the revenues at once, said
Mr.. Dingley. Well, that is more ,han
enough revenue required if the rei,ub-
lican theory were correct. IL the only
trouble was lack of revenue. and this
bill supplied that lack. what more leg
islation is necessary?
The republicans. however, give the
lie to their own professions by immedi-
ately proposing and passing through
the house a bond bill for the very pur-
pose that the first bill was said to be
bill TOR the bond bill will accomplish
the relief Of the treasury. The one is a
sham measure. designed to restore
portion of Mckinieyism under false
pretenses. The other is an alleged i'm
provemcnt on the present law author
ling the issue of bonds to protect the
gold reserve. But the prospect of the
benefit that might result from proper
law authorizing a bond Issue is swept
away in advance By the provisions of
the bill. In Difference to the populist
element in the republican party, the
provision was inserted for the pay
ment of the bonds in "coin.' instead of
in gold. Another clause forh:ds the re-
tiremcnt of the greenbacks. The for
mer provision will prevent the sale
of the bonds for high price. The
second keeps up the "endless chain
The president has Investigated and
finds that there is no prospect of any
helpful legislation whatever. The house
is simply trifling with a growing sitra-
ton: the senate, organized as it is, can
not be relied upon for anything. There-s
fore, the president viii proceed to use
the means that the law authorizes. to
maintain the credit aud integrity OF
this country. rs he has done since
March 4. 1894, when the republican adj
r1inistration handed over to him

issue of bonds soon, we are told, ucder

passes two sham measures to relieve
the atl,1inistration.-Utic Observer.
