[" NF Montreal Weekly Witness.r= PIPTY.THIRD YRAR.MONTREAL, TUESDAY, JUNE 28, 1898.{PRINS Ce NEWS OF LONDON.Keen Interest Feit In England Over the Victory.(New York \u2018 Times.) London, June 25.\u2014Fortunately, news from the neighborhood of Santiago de Cuba came early to-day, so all London has been talking of the American vie- tory since noon, and everywhere the kill- \"od and woumded are spoken of as if they had boen English; and the splendid : and successful charge of our men is dis- cumed with as much pride as any fine feat in Chitral could have been.THE PHILIPPINES.The indefatigable confused babble of Continental correspondents about Bur- ope\u2019s intentions toward the Philippines ie kept up, but it is all the emptiest nonsense.The Chanceller'es themacives see no {| than that an unaccount- eble tous new factor has thrust itself into the middle of the Far Eastern problem; what changes in policy, what rearrangement of ambitions and understandings this will eventually necessitate, they no more know than the man in the street, besides, there are sufficient grounds for anxiety sbout things much neerer home.ANGLO-RUSSIAN SITUATION.It wea whispered about among members of parliament last evening that something fresh had happened to further strain the relations between England and Russia.As quite proper under the cir- eumrtances, the Foreign Office will an- ewer no questions.There has been of Inte a painful excess of indiscreet official talk here, which would have been of doubtful wisdom even if the resolution had existed to back up the words with blows, and which, when it was obvious that Lord Salisbury was toiling with might quel main to keep the peace, was shew foolishness.However, it hes immensely strengthened the influence of those about the Csar who are to pick a quarrel with England, but has advanced no single British interest visible to any aye for the moment.The fight at Pekin seems to be between rival groups of reil- way conoessionsires whoss interests belong to the dispassionate realm of international finance; but their struggle is carried on with diplomacy always just outside the door resdy to be called in, A RUSSIAN INSULT TO AUSTRIA.King Humbert of Italy, apparently yielding to the advice of his generals, in entering upon the experiaent of governing his distraught kingdom without a Parliament or a Parliamentary Ministry.And very much the same thing is being tried in Austria, but complicated there by racial friction which grows graver steadily, This week'a incidents at the Slav congress at Prague would, ten years ago, have sufficed to produce a rupture Vienna and 5t.Petersburg.There was a message from the Russian Grand Duke Constantine extolling the Paeparatist spirit displayed by the Crechs, which wae an unprecedented piece of impudence; and, incredible as it seemed, there was also Gen.Komaroff in full Russian uniform loftily receiving the excited salutations of the Bohemian throngs se if it had been in Sofia or Belgrade, and making epeeches applanding their è to the laws of the Austrian ire.Since the days of the great Corsioan no such insult has been offered to the Hapeburgs as this, and the prem of Vienss and Bada-Pest screams with rage that Komaroff was not shown |.to the frontier by the gendarmes.Whether this particular incident strikes or not, all Southern and Eastern urope is in ferment, and men are more concerned about it than about the Phil pines.LORD SALISBURY AND THE : LIBERALS.squeak.Al though the population of the district has ™ du increased of ate years, he failed e Tory vote of x years ; while the Léberals added over one bou sand to their total.As there was bard.ly anything discussed in the district but foreign politics and Lord Selisbury\u2019s management of them, the result was eeized upon by the malcontents in the Tory press with even more avidity than by the liberal editors, to prove Lond \"x polier unpopular.In the this is quite true, but thet fact p one much.Further, # ja England can do that : E 1 t iH 7 8 a: = si > F 8 i ;

in the second place, Sir William talked very loosely about Catholicism, and though he now repudiates the interpretation, he certainly seemed at the time to be describing the Catholic ceremonials adopted by the ritualisis as in themselves disgraceful and immoral, Naturally this has heen regarded as a wanton insult by every Catholic Irishman in the House, and will not be for given to him, and hardly to the English party, which thoughtiessly cheered him.But of still greater practical importance I would put the fact that the ritualistic section of the Church of England is the only one which has any true hold on the It is full of earnest men and women who actually live in pov: erty and devote their lives to a tirc'ess work smong the sick and unfortunate in the poorer parts of big cition with truly something the mediaeval d'Assisl spirit.This praetical side of their ne tivity has given them enormous prestige among the very classes on whom the Liberals depend for votes.Moreover, many of these Analican ff ru, espécial- ty the younger ones, &: mors advanced Radicals than Bit Harcourt could ever be, and their ment is controlled by collectivist aspirs- tions which sooner or later will find place in the Radical platforms @enceive, therefore, what the Liberals, upon se ond thought, are saying about Harcourt\u2019s political magacity and strategie talents.SILLY SUPERSTITIONS, \u2019 Although not a hint of the feeling finds expression in the English papers, 1t ie very interesting to see how the people nodded with grave suggestiveness over the news of the Blackwall disaster.The fact of the presence of the Duke of York rose intuitively to preeminence in the public mind.It was the sort of thing which might be expected of one so palpably unlucky.The physical res:m- blance between him and his eowsin, the Czar Nicholas, is one of the most remarkable in Europe, and each countenance, shy, troubled and weary, has to the beholder a strange, pathetie effect, as of one consciously fated.It is not surprising to find superstition in Russia, and, long before the terrible coronation tragedy, the belief in the young Czar\u2019s evil luck was universal.to find it in England, but the germs of it were bere, as these despatches bap- V.to point out only last week, and | pened Blackwall has brought them up in à luxuriant crop.If he still goes on his long cruise there will lurk in the popular sub- conaciousness a notion that the chances are against the ship.\u2014_\u2014 WELLMAN BANS NORTH.Tromsos, Island of Tromsoe, Norway, June 27.\u2014The Arctic expedition under Mr, Walter Wellman, the Arctio explorer, mailed yesterday.St.John's, Nfld, June 97.\u2014Lieut.Peary\u2019s auxiliary stramer \u2018Hope\u2019 Captain Bartlett, smiled yesterday\u2019 for Sydney, C.B., where she will cosl and take on board a scientific party, proceeding then to North Baffin's Bay, where she will join Lieut.Peary to transfer stores and coal to the steamer \u2018Windward.\u2019 \u2014 BISLEY TEAM AT LIVERPOOL.(Toronto Evening Telegram\u2019s\u2019 Special Cable.)

Blanco has issued a proclams- tion announcing that any one daring to express sa unfavorable opinion of or suspected of being dissutisfied with the present policy of the government will be summarily shot without trial or investigation.This proclamation, it appears, caused dimsatisfaction among the members of tbe Havana police force, who threatened to revoit if full rations were not served out to them.Serious trouble was expected as the body of police is a numerous and well armed body of men.The result ia that to-day the police patrol the city and its members are themselves police, the Spanish infantry and artillery soldiers mounting gusrd over them at every corner.The informant of the Associated Press thinks Havana cannot possibly hold out six weeks longer, ita inhabitants ing every moment to be bombai hy the American fleet as they realize that Uaptain-General Blanco\u2019s attitwle re leases the United States from the obligation of giving the customery bombardment notice, ! Riots are daily expected at Havana, as - the troops are suffering from banger and \u2018the voluntecrs are seeing their wives and children dying of want.Under such con- {ditions the Captain-Genersl cannot much longer keep the military forces in check and a rebellion is likely to devastate Havana before the city is captured by .the Americans, Captain-General Blanco admits that the situation ia desperate.He recog nizes, it is pointed out.his inability to control his troops, goaded hy hunger, much longer and he is reported to have said that be will never leave Havana alive, as he is prepared

special elegance of powdering his hair, armying himself in hia finest flowered waisteost, and critically disposing his laces, Ger niain took seat in de Bailleal's cosch and was driven away, Aas the horsse flew along another new feeling came to him.The distinasion of a familiar vist with a real \u2018great lord\u2019 elaued him as débutantes are elated by thoir first ball.He wns no snob, only a very natural young man entering life.He dreamt that be was transferred from ti.2 ignoble clase to the noble, and in the fancy felt himself lifted to some inconceivable level above the people who passed by.Half à doseu pessants, tronsed and sweaty and trudging in a group, meeting him, took off ir hats.One of them aid in his hearing: \u201cJacques, there is one of the white wings\u2019 .The carriage rolled through the forest, then out into the open country, and shortly after turned under a stately gate of gilded ironwork, and the grouads of Faux Tranquilies were entered.The [yp chateau was & mansion of amooth, light eandatone, having four towers at the corners.A turreted side-wing, bridging over water, united it with a more au- cient castle which stood, walled in white and capped in black, in the midst of a smail lake.In front were gardens; in Tear a terrace, and below it a lawn bordered on one side by the lake, on the cpposite shore of which a park and poplars, birches, and elms extended, producing, by shading the water, a serenity which doubtless had given the estate ite name.The last light of afternoon, that most beuutifal of ali lights, fell upon the towers, and long shadows swept across Lecour thought it glorious, In n few moments he and bis host were seated at tea.The lofty window- doors mood opea (o let in the June Zephyrs.With the two wigged and Jiveried servants attending, the scene to Lesour seemed the acting of a beautiful chorade, the introduction to an unreal existence.De Bailleul noted the delicacy of his band and the tastefulness of bis violet- tinted cost.\u2018Let us talk of Canada,\u2018 seid he.\u2018I have no friends yet to offer you, though you shall have some young dogs like yourself very soon.What do you like ?\u2014riding, hunting,

continued the Chevalier.\u2018It was there that I passed my military youth.Have you aver eaten Indian bean-cake ?\u2019 I have tasted it.\u2019 \u2018And that was enough, eh?But I have lived on it for eight weeks in an Iroquois village.Yes, aight weeks bean eake was the most horrible of my experi.> ences, except when I saw the hand of an unfortunate Potawatomie turn up in an Abenaki broth-pot.Do you remember General Montcalm ?\u2019 \u2018I was not bora in his time.\u2019 \u2018I saw him dic, and heard him refuse to let the women of Quebec weep for him.Montcalm, sir, was the last hero of France.They glorify Latayette, bot between ourscives Lafayette in more the drum-major than the general.\u2019 \u201cThe lost children of France do not forget the defender of Quebec.\u2018But who mow

about seeking her uncle's mnction to their engagement, she felt it a matier of extreme delicacy to let him into the light of her uncle's unfavorsble sentiments towards his person.But there was one

officers who bad served with distinetion in the war had returned bome, and amongst these was Lieut.Horace Conder, of the Cape Police.Conder had been the lion of the season since his return to England, and had been feted at the different country lwouses which it had been his privilege to visit.Conder was something of « swashbuckler in his manner.In talking of his encounters with the natives of South Africa he assumed an exaggers- tion of manner which was characteristic of the man.No doubt his varied exploits had been characterised by considerable brute coursge, and in the narration of them they lost nothing in mag nitude.Sir Jarces Vaughan's views of empire agreed with Conder's spread-sagie- sm, ao that the latter's thrilling ard blood-curdling stories served to quick'n à trifle the flow of Bir James's sluggish blood.Indeed, Conder soon managed to exercise considerable influance over Sir James Vaughan, and he received « general invitation to the Hermitage, & rivilege of which he did not

for eager listeners amongst the fair sex.A considerable party had assembled 58 Bir James's house, and Conder was tus great centre of attraction.He dilated with gusto upon the scores of niggers that he

us, you know, to stop to ask such questions.It\u2019s for us to kill ae many as we can, Besides, if you don\u2019t kill them that way, they get killed.If civilization doesn't kill them with her Maxime, she does with bar im ported vices, with liquor, and so forth, and I don\u2019t know whether the shorter and sharper method ien\u2019t the best for the poor beggars.\u2018But haven't they an

Emerson, the exaltation of the individuel soul.Bro ping comes specially, Mr.Chapman says, a3 8 liberator to those whose minds have too long been strained in considering the welfare of the mames, telling them that their own personal lives are of infinite valve, and the expansion of the foul in experience is the real use of life.So greatly does the critic esteem Browning a prophet in this

some of Stev- evgon\u2019s writiag Mr.Chapman is willing to approve highly, especially of \u2018A Child'a Garden of Verse\u2019 concerning which he says truly: Stevenson seems to have remembered the impressions of his vhildhood with accuracy, «and he bas recorded them without affects- tion.without neotimantality, without exag- Sezation.In depicting children, he draws frem Ife.He fa at home in the mysteries of their play, and in the inconsequent operation of their minds.But after showing that most of Stevenson's work was clever artifice and that be regarded it as such himself, writing being to him \u2018art\u2019 and net the natural expression of anything res] (except in hie | Bucsorous works) the critic proceeds to condemn the imitation of older writers for which Stevenson had \u2018really anpre- cedented talents,\u2019 and amiably compares the demand for it to the demand for {alse antiques.It is on such grounds that he accounts for Stevenson\u2019s great popularity in the United States.Could anything be more cutting in this con- rection than the following ?Does aby otie beltave that the passion of the American people for learning and for antiquity is a slight aod accidental thing?* Does any ons believe that the taste for imitation, old furniture, is a pose?It «routes an eddy in the masistrom of com merce.It Is 8 power like Niagars, snd rep.Poments the sincere

the different ports and several Indian villages along the route have fail ed to elioit any information regarding them.It is well known that their ship was ill-provisioned and furthermore, not one of the party was intimately acquainted with the route they starced to traverse, nor were they what may be termed milors accustomed to the handling of a craft in thess waters.Added to thia the canvas on the vessel was so rotten that half a gale of wind would possibly blow it to tatters, AH this can be vouched for by those who saw them start and were well acquainted with all the circumstances, The

Commons te said :\u2014 \u2018Rightly understood and fairly under stood, the interests of Canadas and the United States and \u201cthe mother country are really identical ; and that the time is coming, and is not far distant, when ot any rate the best, the wisest and the intelligent men of all these countries will realize that, if they do not realise it now.I am no annexationist, and I do not propose to become one.Î have on desire to see our country merged Jnited States, and I can tell the Howse that after conferences with a good i ished Americans I am well do not particularly desire r heivy responsibilities b tically incorporated wi always held and declared annexation as undesirable.more wish to see my country xistence in that of the south of us\u2014although ad- ths ingtitutions of the Jat- 1 have to merge my own existence in that of another : 1 à gi Phi 1 if ff ë 3 F Ê 8 F } i 3 \u201ci man\u2019s because I admire his abilities or envy his great estate.\u201cI say thet there is but one first-class power in the world with whom England cen make a firm and lasting alliance, and that is her and our kinamen and friends on the other side of the border.I have always feit, and 1 have not hesi- as well as on the floor of thia House, that the ral problem which to-day awaits the decision of England is how, in the firet place, by fair and honorable means\u2014and no other should be used\u2014to conciliate the good will of the people of the United States, and to repair that most atrocious blunder which wae committed a hundred years ago, and which led to a vio lent collision between the two great divisions of the English race.That is one problem, and there is another which is most closely connected and interwoven with it, to the solution of which I would desire to lend my humble aid, and that ia to add to the conciliation of the good will of the United States the conciliation and the pacification of Ireland ; and those questions are closely woven together.\u2019 THE PLEBISCITE.ROUSING SENTIMENTS FOR PRO- HIBITION\u2014PREPARING FOR THE BATTLE The hum of preparation for the plebia- cite submitting the question of prohibition to the people of Canada comes from many directions CONSCIENCE CALLS.The Huntingdon \u2018Gleaner\u2019 June 16, in course of a vigorous article, mys :\u2014 This necessity for « full vote cannot be too strongly urged, and to obtain a full vote hard work 1s necessary.Who is to do that work ?.Every man and woman who is convinced in their least that prohibition is true and needed.Conscience calls to them to come forward and support their cause.If they respond, we shall have such a vote au the Dominion has never seen\u2014the free e3- pression of a united people tn favor of the enacting of a righteous aw.Incentives to action lie around all of us, sud the elector who will not heed them has not the heart of the man who loves his neighbor.See to it that the meetings called to orgapize are wel stiended, and that all who are pereunded probibi- tion is right enter tpon the campaign with a determination that they will du all that is in their power to have it end in a glorious and decisive victory.HUNTINGDON IN EARNEST.The \u2018Gleaner,\u2019 of June 16, says : \u2014The call to those favorable to the plebiscite ou probibition was fairly well responded to, the western end of the county being rempectably repreeented at the meeting Friday afternoon.W.8.Maclaren wae called to the chair, and Ed.C.Mc Coy appointed secretary.Some discussion took place as to whether in view of the Senate's action ou the franchis~ bill, it was not premature to organize.It was tmanimously decided to go on, for, supposing there should be delay, the organization would mand good for nevt year.The chairman favored organizing on the same lines as those on which political elections were curried on\u2014the ap- pointænent of committees for each polling sub-division to canvass the electors and get the vote ont on polling-day.After a good deal of conversational detmte this was resolved on and the following conveners of meetings of electors were nam ed for euch polling sub-division : \u2014 Dundee\u2014Alex.Vass.Godmanchester\u2014No, 1.Jae.Freeland; No.2, W.F.Stephen; No.8.Jno.Tan- nahill.Figin\u2014No.1.W.C.Gillies; No.2.Walter Brown.Hinchinbrook\u2014No.1.Arch.Maclaren: No.2.Samuel Crutchfield ; No.3.Matthew Wallace; No.4.James Cameron.Central committee\u2014AI the clergymen of Huntingdon village; W.8, Maclaren, chairman; Ed.McCoy, secretary; Robert Gerdner, W.A.Hunter, Angus Me- Neughton, R.Sellar, Mrs.W, A.Dune moce, and Mim McLean, with power to add to their number.Fifty-one dollars were raised to par for the expenses, and the conveners of the meetings will probably see that the vote is polled in Huntingdon county Jnrgely for prohibition.ORGANIZING IN THE WEST.The probibitioniste are hard at work organizing their forces for the coming tattle.Tt is not likely that they will ve it sll their own way, although we hove heard very INtle from the other side of the question as yet.\u2014 Welland Tribune,\u201d June 21.MANITOBA'S DECIDED VOIOE, There seems to be no pomsible doubt that Manitoba will maintain her reputation in this respect, and possibly Ontario will ve the \u2018yeas\u2019 a majority, but ond British Columbia, at any rate, may be considered against prohibition.The people of the Prairie Province, however, should do their best, and if the vote In the whole Dominion in not sufficiently esnphatic ¢» warrant the government in introducing legiela- tion, we in Manitoba might ask that the constitution be amended, giving ue ab- nolute power to deal with the question ia this province, and we should then see prohibition on the Manitoba statute book in short order.We have the wiatcamen here and the people at the back of them to do it\u2014Crystal City (Man.), \u2018Courier,\u2019 June 17.THE MONTREAL SIR WILLIAM VAN HORNB.OBSERVATIONS ON HIS TRIP TO .ENGLAND.| =\" .Sir William Van Horne has found, ke all other observers who have besa to England recently, & strong desire expressed on the part of all clases in the country for the most intimate relations of friendship with the United States.Sir William has just returned from a short trip to the Old Country, undertaken in compsny with Mr, Angus pertly for pleasure and partly for business \u201cThe feeling in England is general for the sustaining of the most cordial rele tions with the United Btates,\u2019 Sir Wil- lism ssid on Saturday, \u2018nor could there be found a single dimanting voice to this sentiment.All classes seem to share it, from the highest to the lowest.Americans with whom I trevelled om board ship cordially reciprocated this feeling, which does not necessarily presuppose a formal alliance between the two countries, but which rather looks to intimate friendly relations between the two countries peoples are one in speech, and who are, in many vital regards, united by the ties of common interests and aspirations.\u2018This feeling will have the effect of ending the misunderstandings and misinterpretations which have aries out of the war of 1812.The Americans will bave something more tangible-or, at least, they hope 60, out of which to make history, We may expect now to hear the last of certain readings of the historical event between the two countries, which found a place in the school books of the country.In every way the present feeling, which is in evidence in all parts of England.wil be for the mutual advantage of the two countries, which seem at last to take the common sense view respecting their relations, A formal alliance is not implied.nor is it absolutely necessary for the purpose in view, which is the reaching of an under standing\u2014he realization of relations of amity and good will.\u201d Sir William met Lord Strathcona while he was in England, and found him active in promoting the interests and know- i of Canada among the people.Money was plentiful and cheap, and could always be obtained for reasonable enterprises, \u2018but,\u2019 said Sir William, \u2018there is a decided feeling of caution with re.mect to wildcat schemes which have no solid foundation, and in which it is so essy to sink money.That sort of thing meete with little encouragement in London.On the other hand, if pred ability and reasonableness can be shown, the men who have now made the monsy, which they now have to loan, by the ez- ercise of caution and ability, will te found quite willing to advance it.PATENT REI'U.Below will be found à list of new inventions

call is being circulated in Manitoba by the Rev.Dr.McBeth, president, and the Rev.J.A.M.Spence, secretary, of the Manitoba Plebiscite Awociation, for % provincial prohibition convention to be held at Winnipeg on July 2.\u2014_\u2014\u2014 PROHIBITION, \u2014 QUESTION DISCUSSED BY THE ANGLICAN SYNOD OF HURON.London, Ont, June 24.\u2014At the nes- Non of the Synod of Huron, the discus sion on the report of the commtice on temperance provoked a warm debate.The report congratulated Canada on being one of the most temperate countries in the world and then called attention to the fact that in spite of all the efforts put forth by the Church and other agencies for the ion of temperance in the United Kingdom, the drink bill of that country last year amounted to the enorinous sum of 4761,408,615, abowing the necessity for more vigilance and prayer on the part of tempérance wcrk- err.Clause 3 says: We are of the opinion that & prohibitory law, if it could be effoctively carried out, would be most desirsble, but in ihe meantime and until euch a measure has been pase- ed and put into operation, a regulatory baw, taking control of the eale of all intoxicants would, we think, be a step in the right direction, since it would take frome the mle of liquor the vicious result inevitable under the present law, that increased consumption brings increased personal gain to the vendor.\u201d On this clause the discussion waxed warm.All agreed that they should unite to forward the cause of temperance, but a number of the members strongly opposed prohibition.Mr.Lascombe, who seconded the adoption of the report, said there had just been a kicenso holders\u2019 convention here, and he had no doubt some of the speeches made in this Synod against probibition would have been much applauded in thet meeting.Canon Dann mid, no doudt everyone present wanted to advance the came.Dean Innes said he wished it clearly under stood that he was strongly opposed to prohibition aud others took the same ground.\u2018The general objection to the cliuse was É that #& practicelly bound members to prohibition while the majority of them were cpposed to prohibition, and the clause was struck out and the report as amended wae adogited.A temperance convention bas been called for Monday, July 4, at Guelph, when South Wellington will be organized.Simcoe, Ont., June 24.\u2014About a hundred delegates from all parts of Norfolk assembled in Maybee\u2019s Hall here an Wednesday afternoon, and organized what will be known as the Norfolk County Plebiscite Amociation.After some dis cussion, Jed Ly the organizer of the Dominion Alliance, à strong committee on organisation and nomination of permanent officers waa appointed.The committee brought in a report which was wnanimowsly adopted, recommending the formation of a strong central executive committee for the county, consisting of officers of the association and the chair men of local municipal organizations.The municipalities will at once complete or ganization, and a full executive meeting held as moon thereafter as possible.The convention discussed the question of campaign fund, literature, etc, the management of which was left to the executive committee.A LIVE TOPIC.Ministers need not search for a subject to presch from, aor te take up as a midweek prayer meeting topic wheü the: their hands that
