attention to the.facilities for storing and handling so much grain.There need he no fear on that score.The Canadian Pacific Railway are preparing themselves for llie emergency.They have two immense elevators at Fort William which arc amply sufficient for handling all the wheat shipped by the lake route, while extra ears and engines are being pio-vided by the rail route.Competent judges say that the various elevators and mills throughout the North-West are fully large enougli to handle and forward even 30,000,-000 bushels of wheat.Enquiry at the Canadian Pacific Railway offices elicited the fact that four or five cars were being built per day in their shops here, and it was estimated that their rolling stock would thus be mode adequate to the increase»! demand.At the Company\u2019s shops at Hochelaga four or five engines were being completed per mouth, and this would be kent up to the end, thus adding 50 or 00 new locomotives to the road.Canadian Pacific stock continues to boom in this market and is steadily climbing up.This morning it reached Sü-i, the highest point it has ever attaineil and the tendency is still upward.Over 500 shares changed hands at 86$ to 86i.The market generally very firm although there is not much activity outside of Pacific.L'Etendard states that routine business only is being transacted at Quebec, and that the Government docs not dare to submit any important measure to the Lieut.-Governor because they are certain that the .necessary ratification would be refused.It insists strongly upon the appointment of a Royal Commission \u201c to render full and entire justice to the accused and to give satisfaction to public opinion.\u201d Mr.Mercier, the Quebec Premier, who is now in Montreal, was waited upon to-day by a large number of his political supporters who were anxious to learn what course he intends to pursue in regard to the Baie des Chaleurs scandal, which is causing a great deal of anxiety to his party.Mr.Mercier has hitherto stoutly refused to say one word about the matter, but to-day he consented to make a short statement.Mr.Mercier, speaking of the possible action of the Quebec Government in the matter, said : \u201cAs I was absent when the whole thing took place, and as I have met only two or three of my colleagues since my return from Europe, I did not and do not feel justified in doing or saying anything on that matter, but the Council will sit on Wednesday next, September 2, and after that I will be able.I propose to give all necessary and possible infot mation.The only thing 1 may say to-day is that I am very sorry that Mr.Pacaud has left.He came to me at Tou rouvre and asked what he had to do under the circumstances if he received an order to appear before the Committee of the Senate.1 advised him to obey and after having protested against the juris-dition of the Senate, to make a clean breast of the whole thing.He promised to follow my advice, and the first news I hail was that he had left for Europe.\u201d \u201cW\u2019hat about the session?\" \u201cMy intention is to advise a very early Fall session.\u201d Mr.Mercier added that he had never enjoyed better health and had been working steadily on his farm.The Witness publishes the following special from Winnipeg: Beyond private advices no additional reports have been received regarding the damages to the crops by the frost of Wednesday night.Shrewd observers are inclined to think that the damage will not be nearly so great as anticipated, owing to the meteorlogical conditions that have obtained here for the last ten days.The weather has been cold and cloudy and the lowering of the temperature is not apt to do so much damage as when it is preceded and followed by fine /weather.Reports show that the crop is being slashed down at a rapid rate.Every available laborer is employed in the harvest field and still there is a cry for more.The weather hist night was warm and to day is balmy and clearer, A terrible case was brought to light at a lato hour here to-night.This evening Dr.O\u2019Connor was called in to a house at No.31 Genevieve street, in this city, kept by a Mrs.Galloway, to attend a dying baby.When the doctor arrived at the house a frightful scene was presented.The house was a dirty looking place with very little furniture.In the house were three women in a destitute condition, On the bed were six infants One of the infants was dead while four others were dying.The unfortunate women told a harrowing tale.They are all unemployed servants who had been betrayed and went to tlie house in question for refuge.The woman of the house, who was supposed to look after them, skipped out and the inmates were left in a destitute condition.When the doctor was called in the women were ou the point of starvation.The infants, who are all between three and four months old, will die with the exception of one.The coroner and police were notified and an investigation will be held.ONTARIO.Ottawa, August 28\u2014A party of society people, numbering about sixteen, summering at Britannia, five miles from here, went out on l^ake des Chenes intending to row over to Aylmer, five

whether ti e Government sliould be authorized to proceed with a re-trial of the lliintjAvh From Toronto.The Toronto Empire prints the following despatch from Ottawa.Enquiry here fails to elicit any of the alleged facts contained in it \u201c News from Quebec is of a most interesting character.It is stated that extraordinary developments in the near future may reasonably be anticipated iu connection with the Mercier Government.Public \u2018sentiment is rapidly concentrating against this peculiar c.imbination of political gamesters aud demagogues, each day revealing the fact that weakness, imbecility and wrongdoing will soon meet with significant condemnation.Meanwhile the breach bet ween Lieutenant-Governor Angers and his whilom advisers is widening to such an extent that the former has positively refused to ratify the patent issued calling Mr.Lcmienx to the Legislative Council, and further declined to agree to the proclamation calling the Legislature for the despatch of business.His contention is that until Mr.Mercier explains away the terrible charges against him no action can be taken.The general opinion is that Garucau, the acting Premier of Pacaud\u2019s letter of crédit fame, will he asked to surrender his portfolio, consequent upon his having pledged his word as a Minister to His Honor that the Order in-Council for $280,000 was to meet pressing engagements of a legitimate character.Added to this, it is now said Mr.Fitzpatrick, M.P.P.for Quebec County, has resigned, while other members express an opinion openly that should Mercier object to the Lieutenant-Governor appointing a Royal Commission they will sustain him in calling upon new men to advise him, a coalition Government being anticipate»!.Other serious charges are now brought against the Mercier Administration, and those who ought to know say that the Haie «les Chaleurs robbery will be insignificant in comparison with further startling disclosures.Some prominent Nationalists called upon Mr.Mercier on Saturday last, but that dignitary positively refused to discuss the subject of the Ottawa Committee disclosures.They did not scruple to express the firm liolicf that tlie Quebec Premier\u2019s health is in a very precarious condition, so serious in fact that lie is really unfit for active public business.He will talk about agriculture, poultry, cattle, anything, iu short, rather than the burning issues which be must soon face or succumb to.Meanwhile the Provincial finances are in a rather tangled state, and thinking men are not slow to characterize the situation as very alarming indeed.\u201d Washington, Aug.28\u2014Acting .Secretory of State Wharton received the following telegram to-night : \u201cValparaiso, Aug.28\u2014 Battle fought near th.L city this morning.Government forces badly beaten.Heavy loss botli sides.City surrendered to Opposition, but is in the hands of the Admirals of the American, German, French and English fleets for good order.No communication with Santiago.Opposition forces now entering the city.(Signed) McCreary, Counsel at Valparaiso.\u201d This is the first information received by the State Department from its representatives iu Chili relative to the state of affairs there for some time, excepting a meagre cipher despatch received this morning from Minister Egan, dated yesterday at Santiago, stating that a small fight had taken place near that place yesterday morning and the decisive battle would proliably bo fought this morning.Mr.Wharton said to-night that Santiago had been cut off from telegraphic communication with the\toutside\tworld, the wires pro- bably being in the hands of the insurgents or Minister Egan would have communicated with the Department giving more of the par As Valparaiso is only 30 miles from Santiago,it is expected the Consul will soon be able to communiqué with Minister Egan.Mr.Wharton declined to say what action would be taken by this Government or what instructions would be sent to Minister Egan, but he said nothing would be done until further news had been received by the Department.Nothing further has been received at tho Navy Department from Admiral Brown, commanding the United States naval forces in Chilian waters, but it is presumed the American ships have reached the scene of action.The \u201cBaltimore\u201d and San Francisco\u201d are tho ships nnder command of Admiral Brown.The Chilian Minister could not be found to-night, but it is generally supposed-he must have received the news of the defeat of his Government and for this reason declines to receive any one.The following despatch has been received at the headquarters here of-the Chilian Congressional party from Mr.Viet, the confidential agent of the insurgent party at Lima

the presidents, secretaries, and othfcï officers of tho mo«f prominent scientific, tCmmercial, artistic and technical institutions and associations of the British Empire, and the leading home-representatives of the Colonies and India.At this meeting,'resolutions approving of the proposals sot forth in the report of the Organizing Committee were unanimously adopted.Active measures were at once taken for the collection of subscriptions throughout tho Empire for th« establishment and maintenance rtf the Imperial Institute, and, before the end of tho year 1887, contributions amounting to nearly £350,000 sterling, had been premised.The Government of the Doirtimoh of Canada contributed £20,000 ;

the facades to the galleries, in line with the frontage of the Institute, are in course of erection, it having been arranged with the Royal Commissioners that the stylo of architecture to be adopted should correspond with that of the main Institute-building.The erection of the main building was submitted to select competition.Six firms competed, Messrs.Mowlsm it Co., securing the contract.Mr.Thos.E.Collcutt was appointed architect.The architecture of the Institute-building is of the Renaissance style, the details being of a decidedly Ital'nn character.The main structure consists principally of Portland stone, with a small amount of red brick in tho front elevation.The Central Tower will be 300 feet high, and the frontage of the entire building, will measure more than 900 feet.This includes a largo Conference hall at the western extremity of the main building, and the principal library at the eastern extremity.The foundation stone was laid by the Queen on the 4th of July, 1887, in the presence of 10,000 specially-invited spectators.It is expected that by the end of the present year, the main building will be ready.In accordance with the provisions embodied in the Constitution, tho several Colonial authorities and tho Indian Government were requested to nominate their representatives to serve upon theGoveming Body.Tliu final meeting of tho Organizing Committee of the Imperial Institute was held Thursday, 23rd July, at Marlborough House under the presidency of the Prince of Wales, Sir Chaules Tupper being among those present.After the transaction of some necessary formal business, the Organizing Committee was dissolved, the Prince of \\\\ ales having previously expressed his indebtedness to the members for their valuable services.The first meeting of tho new permanent governing body followed immediately afterwards, and Lord Herschell was elected Chairman.Canada has, thus, representation upon this body.The governor appointed by the Dominion Government is Sir Charles Tupper, Baronet, while tho governors appointed by the various Provinces are Sir Henry Tyler and Dr.John Rab (Ontario), Dr.Georoe Stewart, F.R.G.X., F.U.S.C., and Dr.Louis Honore Fkk-(Queboc), Dr.Charles Cogswell (Nova Scotia), Hon.James I.Fellows (New Brunswick), Hon.Donald K.auqi h\\rm>x tFrinve Kdda'rd Island), Mr.Phtfe ReDPath (North-West Territories), ami Mr.H.C.Bruton (British Columbia).Manitoba hfls .yet to lippoirtt its representative.Mt*.A'.R.W^irrwu has been appointed by the Newfoundland Government to represent that Colony, Canada will also have a warm friend on \u2022the governing body in the Marquis or Lornb, who has been nominated by the Prince of Walks to represent the Chàn , nel Islands.The F.xecutive OouncÀ\u2019Y\u2019édn sistingof thirty governors) includes Sir CAari.ks Tcppku, High Commissioner for Canada.Lord Herschell, Chairman of th« Organizing Committee, when visiting India in the autumn of 1888, gWe eiptaMtinïvi of the objects of the Imperial Institute to members of the Government of India, and of Provincial Governments and Associations, and conferred with them on tho subjects of the supply to the Institute t>f collections illustrating the natural and m-duat-rirtl VCsUilrVes of different parts of India, and of Art\u2019llrt^emiente for the regular fcrfth$nvs°\u2019e judged by tlie Council to be more in need of repair than St.Paul street, and at tlie same time offering to wait till next year for liis pay.The Road Committee had reported to the Council in favor of this order and on motion ofAlderman Hearn, seconded by Councillor Jacques, it was resolved to refer the matter hack to the Committee.Alderman Robitaille gave notice of motion that the Finance Committee lie authorized to negotiate for the redemption ol debentures due in London next January, and if possible in duly, 1393.Alderman Hearn moved that the weekly pay lists for work in connection with water and drains to date be paid ont of the balance remaining from the amount advanced by the Caisse d\u2019Economic.Moved by Councillor Chamlrers, seconded by Councillor Foley,\u2014That tho Hoad Committee he requested to reconsider the advisability of annulling a resolution passed by it ami not reported to the Council, which has the effect of cancelling a contract awarded by the Council.After discussion the motion was adopted, For a PISORDKKKl) LiVKR Pills.try BKKruAM\u2019s d&w ! ! i - '\t\u2019 \u2019 (ESTABLISHED 1842.) \u2014'ON U\u2018fc- Dur ïOniiiiiiï Ski.10 Per Cent Discount ON WHITE DRESS SHIRTS From 49e.to $1.:>0i BOYS\u2019 LAl\u2019ËÏ) SHIRTS;
