Purely Cam '* roneern Another Massacre Expected in Constantinople >- Turks and Christians Again Fighting-Awful Horrors of the Famine in India\u2014French Expedition Captured by Brazilians\u2014Attempt to Dynamite the Jamaica Railway\u2014Italian Hatred for Ex Premier Crlspi.London.Feb.9- \u201cWhen do you return to Canada?\u201d was asked Hon.Charles Fiiz Satrick, the Canadian Solicitor General.Mr.itzpatrick\u2019a reply was that he sailed on the Cunarder \u201cLujauia,\u201d from Liverpool for New York, on Saturday next.Mr.Fitzpatrick was before the Privy Council on Saturday, when the appeal in the \u201cStreams case\u201d was allowed.He took np this duty after returning from the Continent.In reply to further queries the Canadian Solicitor^ General said that he will take back to Canada no news from Rome with reference to the school question.He continued :\u2014\u201cThe Canadian Government has really no negotiations on foot with the Papal authorities.Mr.Fitzpatrick also, and very emphatically too, denied the statement that Mr.Joseph Chamberlain and the British Government, had assured His Holiness Pope Leo XIII.of their support of the settlement arrived at between Hon.Mr.Laurier and Hon.Mr.Greenway on this vexed question.This rumor was sjt afloat in the correspondence of some of the London papers from Rome.Finally Mr.Fitzpatrick said \u201cThe British Government has no concern whatever in the Manitoba School question.It is regarded by the Imperial Administration as a matter of purely internal concern to Canada and therefore one alone of the Dominion's politics, falling outside the line of any action whatever from the London authorities.'\u2019 ANOTHER MASSACRE EXPECTED IN CONSTANTINOPLE.The Daily News will to-morrow publish a dispatch from Constantinople saying that street patrols have been quadrupled and the pproaches to the Yildez Palace cordonned with troops.Treasonable placards are frequently seen posted on the dead walls and other places about the city and another massacre is expected.It is believed that the Sultan originated the placards, hoping to cause a disturbance and so break up the continued conferences of the diplomats.HORRORS OF THE INDIAN FAMINE.Jabalpur, India, Feb.9-An examination of Central India shows that famine is prevailing in an area larger than has been visited in a century and it is likely the mortality resulting from want of food and disease will exceed that of any previous famine within one hundred years.The details of the disaster are horrible to contemplate.Medical attendance is orten inadequate aud many lives that might be saved are thus sacrifled.The poor houses are filled to overflowing and there is a continual stream of applications for admission, that have to be refused, from those that feel that the aid sought is the only thing that will save them from certain but lingering death.The emaciation of some of the sufferers almost passes belief.It does not seem possible that human beings could reach such a condition and still live.Instances are numerous where adults weigh less than 56 pounds and they possess the appearance ot skin-covered skeletons, which in fact they are.A fresh food supply in the rice districts is impossible to be obtained until September, by which time, unless aid is forthcoming from some source, the deaths will roach a frightful number.The famine belt is 1,300 miles long and 400 miles wide, and among the dense population there is only a comparatively small percentage that is not uflecied by the great calamity.MORE FIGHTING NEAR CANEA.Athens, Feb.9-Advices from Canea, Crete, show that there has been renewed fighting outside the city between belligerent Christians and a body cf Turk*.From accounts received here the Christians defeated the troops.Fifteen of the latter were killed.The Greek ironclad now in the harbor of Canea sainted the Turkish flig and the salute was returned.ATTEMPT TO DYNAMITE THE JA.MAICA RAILWAY.Kingston, Jamaica, Feb.9\u2014The President of the American corporation controlling the Jamaica Railway arrived here on Thurc-day evening from New York.Whether this had anything to do with what happened on Saturday is not known.It is, however, a fact that Friday evening several local newspapers received an announcement that it was the writer\u2019s intention to destroy the railway.On Saturday morning such au attempt was actually made.Aa the passenger train from Kingston arrived at a point a couple of miles from the station it came to a halt and a slight jar was felt.The remnants of an infernal machine which had been exploded and ope similar machine intact were foqnd.The bombs were poorly contrived, The police are investigating the matter.FRENCH EXPEDITION CAPTURED BY BRAZILIANS.Advices receive from Cayenne state that The skeleton in many a household is the peculiar weakness of the wife and mother, or of the wife who ought to be a mother and is not.Happiness is destroyed by the presence of the secret sickness that may lurk like a grinning death among the most luxurious homes.The most terrible thing about this condition of affairs is that it is entirely needless.There is no reason in the world why every \u2018wpmaty in the world should not be strong and healthful and capable of fulfilling her whole duty a4 q wife and mother.Many women go on \u2019 month after month, and year after year, be-i coming weaker and weaker, because of a very natural hesitancy they feel in consulting a physician.They know that if they go to a doctor for treatment, the first thigg he will insist on Will he \u201cexamination\u201d and local treatment.\" This must of course be distasteful to every modest woman.They are generally as unnecessary as they are abhorrent.Dr.Pierce\u2019s Favorite Prescription cures positively, perfectly, permanently, all varieties of \u2018\u2018female weakness\u201d and disease.It is designed to do this one thing, and it does it.It is the only medicine now before the public for woman\u2019s peculiar ailments, adapted to her delicate organization by a regularly graduated physician\u2014an experienced and skilled

the French and Brazilian* of Para, which reached its height in the Mapa incident last vear.has been revived by the proclamation of St.Mario Belim as a free port.Up to lhat time mal-fera had gone smoothly enough.Now the tension has been rendered acme once more by the report that a brenoh mining expedition into the Cachiponr district in the disputed territory had been met by a force of Brazilian rangers and ma le prisoners, after a tight in which one or two French citizens hud been shot, riiere were twenty Frenchmen who were made prisoners.\u2022So far these prisoners have not been ill-treated, hut they arc being kept hard at work securing gold for their captors and without anv prospect of relief.Fearing some reprisals from the French, the Brazilians have sent to Para for reinforcements, but according to advices the Governor of Cayenne has decided to take no action in the way\u2019of reprisals, but liassent on a protest against the disturbance and notified the Paris authorities.Public feeling runs high in (\u2019ayenno, where the Governor is blamed for not sending out a punitive expedition even at the risk of creating another Mspa incident.NEWS FROM NEWFOUNDLAND.St.Johns, Nfld.,Feb.9-Governor Murray left for England tc-day.One of the objects of his mission is to urge upon the Imperiil Cabinet the absolute necessity of a British Consul being stationed at the French Colony of St.Pierre, to prevent the smuggling now-going on between St.Pierre and New foundland and the Maritime Provinces and the New England coast.The Newfoundland and Canadian Governments unite in urging the necessity of this appointment.Popular agitation for the revival of the Bait Act is increasing and the Government i* likely to appoint a Commission to consider the whole question of French fishing competition when the Legislature meets.MR.SEXTON ON THE IRISH PARTY.London, Feb.9\u2014Mr.Thomas Sexton, anti Parnellite, formerly member of the House of Commons for the North Division of Kerry, who resigned his seat last year, has written a letter declining to re-enter Parliament.Mr- Sexton says:\u2014\u201cI am still convinced that the Irish party must have belter discipline before anything worth laboring for can be obtained from the House of Commons, even for the most palpable grievances of Ireland.\u201d DEATH OF MR.FRANK MAY.The death is announced of Mr.Frank May, who for twenty years previous to November, 1893, was Chief Cashier of the Bank of England.Mr.May was the father of the junior partner of Coleman ft May, stock brokers, who at the time of Mr.May's resignation were said to have been connected with several trust companies which collapsed shortly before the resignation was tendered.Considerable excitement, was caused at the time by reports that the Bank had advanced considerable sums of n.oney upon the securities of these corporations, but these rumors were never proven.TWELVE MEN KILLED.Through the collapse of the scaffolding of the viaduct of a railway in Cornwall, twelve men fell 150 feet and were killed.A CANADIAN FORGER SENTENCED.John Chandler, a clerk who gave himself up to the police on December 28Lh last, and who was committed for trial on January 20th charged on his confession with forging bills of exchange ou S.F.McKinnon ft Co., of Toronto, and others, pleaded guilty to-day at the Central Criminal Conn.Old Bailey, and was sentenced to five years' penal servitude.A list of his forgeries, all sums exceeding two hundred pounds, was presented by counsel for the London Bankers' Association.THE DISTURBANCES IN CRETK.Private and official advices from English officers show that the troubles in the Island of Cretearecaused by Greek agitators and that the Christians are the aggressors.The Greek Government, believing that the end of the Ottoman Empire is near, thinks it opportune to carry out the long cherished desire to annex the Island of Crete.Public officials here and on the Continent regard the situation as serious and as hampering the peace of the whole of Europe, owing to fears of a collision between Turkey ami Greece, in which case it is doubtful whether the entente of the Powers could be maintained.The papers everywhere urge the Powers to bring pressure to bear on Greece in order to prevent her further aggravation of Turkey.It is announced tc-.tay that Turkish warships and transports have lefc Constantinople for the Island of Crete, and that in spite of the advice of his Ministers and of the Ambassadors, the Sultan favors the despatch of troops aud repressing the troubles by force.THE CAUSE OF THE OUTBREAK.A dispatch to the Times from Canea says : \u2014The immediate cause of the outbreak here was the news of the troubles at Hcraklon.Before dawn onr-hulf the Mohammedans had left the town and great numbers of them from Galata and other villages.The Chris-lians descended from the mountains in strong force, and during the next two days there were incessant conflicts around Canea, in which the Christians appeared to have had the advantage.The efforts of the Consuls and Bishops to pacify them failed, and the Mohammedans, whose anger had beet) aroused to the utmost, found themselves unable to continue their expedition into the country.The excitement among the Christians of Canea increased, but the first fighting in the town was on Thursday and in a lew moments became general and incessant.The shooting continued until dark.Among the victims were Turkish soldiers.ITALIAN HATRED OF EX-PREMIER CRLSPI.Most people know that the Italian ex-Premier, Crispi, is a good hater, and that ic is not his custom, when in power, to spare his real or fancied enemies.The latter have had their turn, and, though their innings has been a long one, they are far from tired of the sport of baiting the old lion.They have destroyed, apparently forever, Signor Crispi's political influence, and ruined his private fortunes.They have driven his son into die-, honorable exile, aud they dragged hia daughter's honour in the mire, and still their thirst for vengenanoe was not quenched.The judi-oial inquiry into the seemingly eternal \"finan-cian scandals\u201d has been extended to include an investigation ot the affairs of the defunct newspaper Ri forma, and the former editor», managers, compositors and printers have been searchingly examined, in the hope of compromising Signor Crispi.One of the managers of Ililorma was Signor Crispi's nephew, Signor Purlamenghi, and he has come out of the inquiry with a very bedraggled appearance- Now it is proposed to cite Mme.Lina Crispi before the examining justices, to explain certain items of a private banking account which, it has been discovered, she had with the Bank of Como.THE ANGLO EGYPTIAN SITUATION.Paris, Feb.9\u2014The i\u2019aris newspapers are now ht-ginni\u2019ig to discuss the Anglo-Kgypiiap situation with more moderation than they have hitherto observed.The VcfcH says \u201cEngland does iiyt hepd t|)e vajii protests of France, knowing that they will not be followed by results.Let us therefore utilize the territories which France already possesses.\u201d The Dixneuvieme Sidle says : - \u201cDiplomacy is

MILITARY RIFLE LEAGUE The Executive of Canadian Military Rifle League has decided that owing to the uncertainty as to what arm will be adopted at Bis-ley this year, aud the delay in the general issue in Canada of the new Lee Enfield rifle, the League will hold its matches on very much tne same lines as last year.If possible, however, the Snider will be dropped.A certificate for marksmen has been

The second class, while lees difficulr, will be by no means easy of capturing.It is a steel engraving, printed by the British America Bank Note Company, and will be given in addition to the issue of badges.Its issue will he authorized by the Department of Militia and Defence, and will probably be signed by the Minister and the Major-General Commanding.Although not yet definitely decided upon, the prizes given by the League will be of sterling silver, upt plates, but other pieces suitable for regimental messes.In connection with this year\u2019s matches some anxiety exists in regard to Martini

faulty.CANADIAN FISH FOR ENGLAND.It is now over a year ago since the Commissioner of Fisheries, Professor Prince, had collection of Canadian fish prepared for sending to London to be used there as a

athletic sports, about the present condition of the Quebec Amateur Athletic Association ?As we understand it, the Association has either to be immediately reorganized upon a proper financial basis or to become a thing of tho past.The latter would be a public misfortune and should be prevented at almost any cost.Our young men are surely not of the stuff that will let the Association and its improved property slip through their hands after all the sacrifices that have been made for it by many of their own number as well as by their lady friends.We are well aware of the fact that some of the leading members of the Association are actively working to pre vent its collapse, but what tho friends of the Association would like to see in the first place, and what, in fact is absolutely necessary in order that it should be placed upon a proper footing, is the immediate settlement of the question of the lease of the grounds.This lease expires at so early a date, that no thing can be done to induce capitalists to aid in reorganizing the Association until it has been extended.A move should he immediately made with the Government to have this lease renewed for a longterm of years.There is no reason in the world why this should not be acceded to if the matter is properly represented to the Government.The Chronicle w ill gladly use its influence to this end, and it should not be difficult to show so clever and progressive a leader as the Hon.Mr.F LYNN, what a just and what a popular move it will be to aid in the reorganization of the Q.A.A.A.,by giving it a new lease of its present grounds, upon which it has al ready expended so much money, and that for as long a term of years as possible.For lowest or all, APPLY TO quotatioDS on any A.W.MORRIS, Msinbar Monteil

many people are expected that a special trip of the ferry boat will be made here at 7 p.m , returning after the banquet.No more tickets : can be sold by tho Committee, and any 1 that may be spared

pointment is one upon which the Chroni cle congratulates the Government.The Hon.Charles Fitzpatrick frankly admits that there is no truth in tho report that Mr.Joseph Chamberlain and the British Government had assured His Holiness Pope Leo XIII.of their support of the settlement arrived at between Hon Mr.Laurier and Hon.Mr.Green way in the matter of the Manitoba School ques tion.As usual, our Solicitor-General knows very well what ho is talking about The British Government governs in the interests of British subjects and expect the Canadian Government to do the same, LEVIS\u2019S EYESORE.A VERITABLE MOUNTAIN OF EXCREMENT ! (To the Editor of the Morning Chronicle.) SlR.\u2014I have always used plain words.!¦ \u2022 variably called a spade, a spade, but io this letter were I to use suitable words to depict my subject, the words would be so pungent\u2014 so penetrating in their nastiness, that the Chronicle containing my story would probably be refused circulation by mail.Yet my story, which follows, is true.Alas ! too painfully true.From the top of the Levis cliff, opposite the hospital of X./).dc la JJe lie ranee., down to the hill\u2019s base, is, at present, a frozen horror -an iniquity to both nose and eight.Blocked drainage, or perhaps no drainage at all, has caused a flaw from the hospital premises which renders passage along the lower road\u2014 the main road of the town\u2014a loathsome journey.In the brown coloured frozen mass\u2014daily growing in size and daily sending out its foul smells further over the town\u2014it requires no great labour of the imagination to see millions of pestilential microbes dancing the death-dance of the Levitts who must yet fall their victims.Leaving, for the nonce, simple un-cleanliness aside, I protest against allowing this foul monster of filth being permitted to grow to any more dangerous dimensions.I have to pass flits point twice every day, and when passing I cannot suppress the wish that some of the purifying H imes of hades could sear this deadly spectacle and burn up this microbe nursery, but as I cannot bring forth the flitncs of the bottomless pit to do scavenger duty, I hope that the sunlight of the Chronicle will expose this dark picture and lead the Levis Corporation to remove what has been for too long, a dangerous and sickening eyesore in the lower part of the town.A Levite.Le vie, 9th February, 1897- My Neighbor Told Me About Hood\u2019s Sarsaparilla and advised me to try it\u2014This is the kind of advertising which gives Hood\u2019s Sarsaparilla the largest sales in the world.Friend tells friend that Hood\u2019s Sarsaparilla cures ; that it gives strength, health, vitality and vigor, and whole neighborhoods use it as a family medicine.Hood\u2019s Pills act easily and promptly on the liver and bowels.Cure sick headache.-E\\ SIEILÆ-A-IEïID;, 137 St.Joseph Street.GREAT CUT ON CARPETS !

\u201cAngloman,\u201d which sailed from Boston, January 30, for Liverpool, is ashore ou Skerries Islaud, in the Irish Sea.Assistance has been sent to hen The \u201c Angloman\u201d is lying on the rocks south west of the Main LI xnd.She has a large hole stove forward and 37 feet of water injher.hold.The vessel ie afloat astern.Her crew, with the exception of the captain, chief engineer, chief officer and second officer were landed by the lifeboats.The tide is running strong and it will bo impossible to salve her.Arrangements are now being made to make an attempt to salve the live stock on board at slack tide.The British torpedo gunboat \u201cRenard\u201d is anchcred alongside of ihe \u201cAngloman'\u2019 in readiness to give any assistance possible and a number of tugs are also on hand.The ship will probably be a total loss.The \u201cAngloman'\u2019 was a steel I screw steamer of 4,892 gross and 3,036 net i tonnage, 403 feet 5 inches long, 45 feet 6 inches beam, and 25 feet deep.She was , built in Laird\u2019s Yards at Birkenhead in 1392 and owned by the British and North Atlantic Steam Navigation Company of Liverpool.She is commanded by Captain Lewis, and left Boston with 3,660 tons of cargo valued at $40,000, fully insured.The valuation of the steamer is placed at $400.000 and she is said to be fully insured in English Club Companies.Latër\u2014The creW o{ the steamer have ar« rived at Holyhead.They say that the vessel struck during a heavy fog and no foghorn was heard as a warning that she was approaching the Island.According to the story told by the men there is no hope of saving the steamer.When she struck part of her bottom was torn out and if she should be moved from her position she would immediately sink.The live stock which comprised part of her cargo was still aboard when the crew left, but there was no chance of getting the cattle off.The compartments of the vessel are nearly full of water.Africa\u2014London, Feb.9\u2014An examination of the German steamer \u201cAfrica,\u201d Captain Segelken, which returned to Antwerp and was docked there after having been in collision with the Norwegian ship \u201cSaga,\u201d from Buenos Ayres for Hamburg, shows that a number of her plates aud frames were broken and that she sustained other damage.It will be necessary for her to discharge a part of her cargo in order to make repaire.The

was earned by a large Washington buying order, failed to hold and the market opened practicallj- at Jc lower for Sugar and declined to llljja closing weak on the botton to-day.This weakness is attributed to a re port from Washington that the new tariff bill on Sugar would be unfavorable to Trusts, and also a rumor from New Jersey to the effect that that State would soon pass a law to regulate Trusts.As New Jersey is peculiarly the home of the Trusts this rumor caused adecisive weakness in Tobacco and Sugar, and Leather was sympathetically affected.Sugar and Tobacco each lost l^c for the day and Leather preferred lost §c.On the other hand Gas gained ^c and Grangers averaged a gain of 4c.Reading was finite weak and lost jjc for the day.Rubber lost 2 points on the report that the Lexow Committee had served subpoenas on Rublier officials and would investigate that Trust also.The London markets were all weak on unfavorable developments in Crete.Americans were very dull and inclined to be heavy, though not ac lively weak.Most of the time the stock mar ket was dull and the expected inauguration lioom is slew in materializing.The Trust stocks will probably go several points lower, but on very slight recessions wo would buy the Grangers and other railroad shares.The talk on Manhattan is decidedly bearish, although the stock advanced ic to-day.(SPECIALLY PREPARED

representing the various trades and industries of ihe city and the district of Q ie-bec had been called by the Board, with a view to give them an opportuniiy of having respectively an understanding on a common basis of recommendations ami of drafting memorials in relation thereto.In less than one year and a half, some twen'y-five delegatim s were received and heard ; their memorials collected and their recommendations discussed and noted down.With the exception of two delegations which had private interviews, all the others were heard publicly.The trade and manufacturing interests represented by delegation, were as follows : Fur trade and manufacture ; dry goods, groceries, flour, grain and provisions : fish and fiih oils, tanner\u2019s supplies ; stoves, ploughs ; coal trade, Canadian and
