Toronto. Dec. 5.-PoliticaI affairs in Canada
are Just now experiencing the severest strain
they have ever undergone in the way Of scandal.
Facts have just come to light which go to show
that a plot was formed in Montreal, with
possible New-York connection, for OverthrOwing
the government of Sir Wrfrid Laurier at the
recent Dominion elections. a capitalist is
thought to have been at the foundation OF the
scheme, and he is said TO have called in the
sistance of a Cabinet Minister.
The Minister the story goes to take
leading part in exposing alleged department
scandal, which to he disgusting that
seven supporters of Sir Wilfrid Laurier In Que
bee were to resign in consideration of receiving
brides of $4,000 each. Another detail of the
scheme it is said was that a we'll known Lib
eral organ. under new management, should turn
against the government.
Sir Wilfrid by some threat not yet known 20
the public is said to have checked the Minis
ter. whose failure TO make good his plans caused
the plot to collapse. It is said that the Minis
ter had already received $4,000 Of 100000

in the deal. The affair is likely to be investi-
gated by a Parliamentary commission.
