Still the cut rate war goes on and the

will investigate the question of cutting
rates while the people would like to know

cause Of this disastrous conflict. il is well
known that in the past the Canadian cor

and financial reorganization of the navy.
 A meeting of Progressives and Re publicans decided not to support the Governments internal policy, but to uphold to the fullest extent its foreign policy.
 There was considerable disorder about the approaches of the Palais de Bourbon when NM. Deroulede, Mile voye and other Deputies arrived, ac- companied by a crowd of supporters. Members of the League of Patriots, who were crossing the Place de la Con- corde, shouted "Vive PArmee!" and the Republican Guards were obliged to clear a passage. A conflict with the police ensued, in which a number of nti-Semites attacked and injured a commissary of police with loaded canes. The ringleader, M. Guerin, president of the Anti-Semitic League, was ar rested.
 When M. Drumont, the AntiSemitic leader, arrived there were further dis turbances with cries of Down with the Jews!" and cheering for France. A detachment of cuirassiers charged and dispersed the mob and several more arrests were made.
 The session of the Chamber of Depu- ties had no sooner opened that M. Deroulede made a violent attack upon the Minister of War, General Cha noine. whereupon the latter arose and explained the conditions under which he accepted the portfolio. In so doing he declared that he was of the same opinion as his predecessors, referring to the question of reopening the Drey- fus case, a remark which was greeted with cheers and protests, the uproar lasting five minutes.
 When General Chanoine was able to resume speaking he asserted that he was the guardian of the honor of the /

M. Brisson said that General Chano- ines declaration was a complete sur prise to him. as the general had been present at the meeting which decided to submit the documents in the Drey- fus case tc the Court of Cessation. The general, M. Brisson continued, did not then raise any objection.
 Continuing, the Premier said that the Government was fully determined to uphold the civil power against the military, and he asked for a suspen- sion of the business of the Chamber,

 The announcement was received with loud cheering.
 General Chanoine then left the Chamber of Deputies and the Premier M. Brisson, ascended the tribune. There he was greeted with shouts of Re sign!" while the Leftists cheered him lustily.

 After the Chamber of Deputies had resumed business at o'clock. M.

The Premier, then proposed that the Chamber adjourn until Thursday next. and he concluded his remarks with re- affirming the supremacy of the civil power.

 fidenCe.

H ARIS, Oct. 25.-Very few persons
 have thought of Fashoda to-day.
 There has been more immediate | ly exciting matter on hand. All
 the afternoon the center of the town has been in ferment. Favorite Deputies have been wildly cheered, and unpopular ones franctically howled down. About 150 arrests have been made. It is not yet quite clear how many persons have been injured. Among them, at any rate, are three po- lice agents.
 Several mild charges of cavalry have been made. The crowd so far as pos sible has been kept on the move or broken up by police cuirassiers and mounted municipal guards.
 Hundreds of copies of a strongly re- visionist paper have been piled up and burned as an expression of disap- proval.
 While this tumult was being dealt with in the street sort of Donnybrook fair was going on in the Chamber of Deputies. Dreyfus was naturally the cause Deputies hurled insults about with impartial recklessness, and in the midst of an indescribable hubbub Gen eral Chanoine, Minister of War, re- signed his portfolio.
 This was bolt from the blue. Every body supposed he was in favor of re- vision of the Dreyfus case, seeing he remained Minister of War in the Cab- inet that had decided upon it. His de- claration then that he was of the same opinion as his predecessors about the affair came as a complete surprise.
 The Chamber of Deputies then ad- journed to give the minority time to consult as to steps to be taken. When 1t reassembled the Brisson Ministry was quickly added to the list of those that have been.
 One thing was made very clear to- day-that is the affection in which the army is held by the people. Every

Large Enough.

A foot-traveler through one OF the
hilly regions of Ireland came one day
upon a curious little cabin, SO small
as to seem hardly large enough for a
human habitation. While she was
whimsically considering as to whether
it might not be the abode OF the famous
good people, about whom so many
loving superstitions cling, the figure
of a short, stout old man emerged from
the cabin, and stood confronting her
in smiling silence. After salutations
had been exchanged, the traveller laugh
ingly told the old man that she had
half fancied his dwelling the home of
fairies. mo, indade, ma'am, but it's

piled the old man. 'Tsut surely you

of the tiny house. "Shure, an Oi can

was such warmth in the smile with
which this cheerful philosophy was

acceptance of its truth.-Youth's Com

Common Case,

The eScotchman's S disposition to regard
his own judgment as the best that can
be found is well illustrated in a story
once told of the moderator of Scotch
presbytery. This mans opinion diff
fered widely on a certain question re-
lating to church discipline from that
of the associates with whom he was
ostensibly consulting. At last he said
that he would lay the matter before
the Lord in prayer and then wait for
His guidance. 20 Lord" said the mod
orator, fervent1y and with perfect sin
cerity of purpose. 20 Lord, grant that
we may be right in this matter, for
