He is Not Known to the Policeâ€"The Jury Briblng Cage. A Chicago despatch of Wedneefiny night says : J. B. Kelly, arrested in St. Louis, charged with complicity in the Cronin tragedy, arrived here to-night. Mrs. Conklin and Frank Scanlon. who saw the person with whom Cronin drove away the night of May 4, both failed to indentin Kelly as the driver of the white horse. Sonnlon was positive Kelly was not the man. Thebuilding contractor Thoa. Kevansagh, a member of Camp 135, Clan-nn-Gael, accused of being implicated in attempts to bribe possible jurors on the Cronin trial, was released. today after the evidence for the prosecution was all in. Judge Water- mnn ruled that the State Attorney had failed to make out a case. This leaves one man, Jerry O‘Donnell, on trial. Questions to be Discussed at the lute-i: national Convention.

She Intended to Suicide. A London cable of Wednesday says: The case of Miss Vincent, parsmour of L. H, Issues. member of Parliament for New- ington, Wellworth, under arrest for shoot- ing him in the arm on her failure to compel him to sign certain promissory notes in her favor, came up for hearing today. The prisoner was committed for trial. In his testimony Isescs admitted that the pistol might have been fired by accident, and created a great sensation in court when he asserted that when Miss Vincent produced the pistol she first threatened to shoot herself, and thus make'his conduct public. Many good people in this country will be greatly shocked to learn that Mr. Glad- s‘one and his entire fnmlly recently visited Barnum’s circus in London.

He gave his name as Roger Tichborne. and when. years after, Edwards heard the story he knew this was the real Sir Roger. Finally the Belle Rafiin sighted Mar): Island, and Edwards and a sailor were sent ashore while the vessel returnea for laborers. The young man was very weak. and he also went ashore, hoping the change would brace him up. The sailor finished his yarn in his own words : A New York despatch says : A bronzed and weather-beaten sailor enterei the World office this afternoon and announced that he had a yarn to spin. This yam, if true, effectually settles all claims to the Tiohborue estate in England, over which there has been so much controversy. The old sailor said he was William Edwards, and that he had sailed the seas, man and boy, for forty years and more. In the 50's, so goes his yarn, he found himself on one of the South Sea Islands, from which he shipped on the Bella Rufiin, bound from Tahiti with a cargo for Beach La Mart. ’ It Ariles From an TH A'l‘ CBONIN SUSPEC Y‘.

Miss Maud Reade], who was married to Mr. Henry Gladstone recently, is the second daughter of Mr. Stuart Rendel, ihe well-known M.P. In the spring of last 3951‘, when Mr. Gladstone stayed st Mr. Rendel’s villa near Naples, Miss Rendel played the part of hostess in the absence of her mother. A warm friendship grew up buwesnthe younger branches of the two families, of which this marriage is the re- sult. Miss Renders til'ents neHanistio, and she is an excellent violiniste. She gives her sympathies, but not her labors, to poliiios. In personal sppearumw ‘shu m petite and slender, with plenty of soft dark hair. Mr. Henry Gladstone is the fourth son of Mr. W. E. Gladstone. He was educated first at a tutor's, where were also his relaâ€" tions, the Lyttletons ; and subsequent}: they all moved on til/Em; Wfi’el‘e by A curious ooinoidem’mr. Henry Gladstone was in the same house as that of his pro- spective father-in-lawâ€"nameiy, Evans He did not go to the university from Eton, but straight into business. At first it was intended that he should join the old Glad- stone firm, but subsequently this pro- gramme was altered, end he entered the firm of Ogilvy, Gillander & 00., East India merchants, where he now is. The Ogilvys are cousins of the Gladstones. Mr. Henry Gladstone is dark and clean shaven. In features he is very like his brother Herbert, but is taller, and lacks the mustache and thick curls of the latter. His tastes are essentially active. He is greet at polo, fond of most field sports, and is a good gun for a warm party. As the elder brothers do not shoot, Messrs. Herbert and Henry Gladstone have divided the shooting of Hawarden for several years. In politics his views are those of his father, but as yet he has not given active expression to them Truthful Words. Advertising makes the business known, and by multiplying the number of custom- ers the dealer obtains the me ans of attract- ing more. He has more money to expend on his stock, can improve the opportunities which come so frequently to the cash buyer, and can make his margin of profit smaller. The whole success of the great retail houses has been build up in this way. There are few of them which have not had their entire development within very recent years, before which they were very haber- dashery shops, with a neighborhood trade only, or they had no existence at all. There is not one of them which dues not owe its success to this same advertising. In the clothing trade the history is the same. The houses which are getting the custom are those that advertise the most liberally and the most judiciously, and as their custom increases they are enabled to make their prices lower and thus invite a wider range of the public. The tailors who have followed their example are reap ing alike reward and gaining the same advantages. So it is also with the shoe- makers, and as the time goes on there will be no department of busines which will not profit by the lesson that experience teaches so emphatically. So far from having been completed, the development of advertising is still in its early stages only. ~New York Sun. Many others were slightly injured, and many narrowly escaped from the falling walls. The cause of the explosion is yet to be determined, but it is probable that the wall of the boiler room caused the explosion by falling on the boilers. The loss reaches many thousands of dollars. F.

Mr. Laurier, on resuming the debate on Mr. McCarthy’s Bill, was received with ap- plause. He said : I for one would accept the declaration made by the framer of this Bill, not only while introducing it. but on sevsral occasions previously, that he is not actuated by any hostile feeling towards the French people in Canada. but that he has another motive, viz . the laudable and loyal ‘ one of preventing future interneoine feuds by removing causes of contention. I should be sorry when the hon. member harbors such high feelings to disturbs him, but I find he has a different motive, and for him to imagine that he is to secure the peace and harmony of the country by the plan he proposes is surely an egregious mistake. I maintain that his present action is only endangering the peaceand harmony which exists now. He would not dare speak of the French nationality in this House as a bastard nationality. In Barrie he said at the last election that the great danger which overshadowed the country was this bastard nationality, and which threatened the dismemberment of Canada. Why, the day s are not far distant, nor more than five years distant, when this bastard nation- ality was unanimous in its support of the Conservative party. I venture to say, judging oi the future by the past, that if the French-Canadians were to become united and give the whole weight of their party to the Conservatives, not one word would we hear at this national cry. Everything is tending to a change of afiairs ; a great population is going into , the Territories. We must take theseiacts 3 into view, When J. 5â€" “~npropet time to deal ‘ with thn question ; when W9 “9 Damned to give them a more extended iorm or 10...: autonomy. When the time comes we must be prepared to deal with this question upon broad principles, with an eye to the wel- fare of the majority and the protection of the minority. Till then it is better to defer consideration of this question, and deal With more timely ones. There is this remarkable feature in the Bill : It is not founded upon the expression of will on the part of the Territories. it is abroad prin- ciple applying to the whole country. This is why 1 object to the Bill. I submit to all parties in this House, French, English, Liberals and Conservatives, that it is best to defer the consideration of this matter till such a time as we are prepared to deal with other questions affecting the North- west Territories. Let all remember this, that no race in this country has the abso- lute right to invade the rights of the other race. Sir John Maodonald on rising was loudly applauded. He said : Mr. Speaker, I go a. great way with my hon. friend in his re- marks referring to the principle of this bill. I sympathize with his natural indignation at the language which has been used in support of this measure before the House. I have no accord with the desire expressed in some quarters that by any mode what- ever there should be an attempt to suppress one language and make it inferior to the other. I believe it would be impossible to do so, and foolish and wicked if it were possible. In 1844 the Government here under Sir Charles Metcalfe had a Conserva- tive majority. and with the exception of four the French-Canadians were in the Opposition. I was elected and rat in that Parliament as a Tory, and I supported Lord Metcalfe. There was a resolution moved in that House when the French- Uanadians were powerless to help them. selves. What did this House do? A reso- lution was passed, not by a Liberal Govern- ment, but by a Conservative Government, elected in opposition to the interests of the Province of Lower Canada, without a single dissentient voice, to relieve the French- Ganadians of the action caused by the Liberal Government in England, at the instructions of the Radical Lord Durham. Sir John here read from the report After Mr. Lnurier sat down there were orig: o; ‘V‘Qupistiqn" {pm several members. of the proceedings showing that while the Liberals in England enacted that only English should be spoken, the Tory Assembly in Canada petitioned her Majesty tor the repeal of the Act, and had it repealed. and both languages we re made equal, except that the French was not per- mitted to be the legal language. You may also remember that when the Hon. George Brown was leading the Reform party with enormous ability, his whole aim was op- pression of the French. Every speech he made, every article he wrote. every resolu- tion he moved was antagonistic to the French language and the Catholic religion. This amende honorable will quiet the insult felt by the Province of Quebec and will satisfy the people of the Northwest. I would ask the hon. gentleman from West Durham (Mr. Blake) to take the matter into his consideration and see whether this principle cannot be adopted, and that after the next election, when the people of the Northwest will have had a chance to speak, that it would not be right and fair that their representatives should deal with it. That settlement Will even then be only temporary. 'I‘hat territory is too large for one province or for tour provinces. It is a matter for the future. The question will have to be dealt with as populption goes in, Mr. Blake, resuming the debate, said 5 With reference to the ‘Bill before the House. I wished before the adjournment to have given due consideration to everything the hon. gentleman has said. My own judgment remains what it was. that the proper solution of this question is embodied in the statement I submitted for the con- Bideretion of the House.

Mr. Laurie: objected to the newspaper article by the member for Lincoln being put upon the journal of the House, but as it contained some information he would con- sent to it being printed it it was not con- sidered as a. preoedenfi.

It makes no difference. I object on the ground that the statement by the hon. gentlemen is a false- hood, and I am prepared to prove it a false- hood. (Cries of “ Order.”) The motion was carried. Mr. Charlton asked it the Government had any information as to the white girl who was said to be held captive by the Blackfeet Indians. Sir John Maodonnld finally stated that the Government would come down. Mr. Dewdney snid this matter was brought to his attention last summer. He believed he had seen the child who was supposed to be e captive, and although she had some white blood in her. she was. not a. white child. Her supposed mother had another child three years older, who also appeared to have white blood in her. Further enquiries were being made, but he did not believe there was any truth in the etexy.

Mr. Chapleau, in resuming the debate on Mr. McCarthy’s bill, said : At the begin- ning of this debate we heard a great deal about equal rights. I am only sorry that some enactment was not passed giving Lqual power to all the members, and I would not be placed in a position to express in bad English my opinions of this bill. l have requested that English be spoken in my home. I have even asked pray era to be addressed to the Almighty in my house in the English tongue. 1 want to point out that there are four thousand French-Cana- dians and half-breeds in the Territories, or only about one-seventh o! the English population up there. In Quebec the Eng- liah minority constituted only one-sixth of the population. and yet it any demagogue like the framer of this bill were to ask the majority in Quebec to abolish cfiioial English I would be the first to say no. When I look through the preamble I must say that I cannot fathom it. It may tend to excite the animosicies of our French members, and many have seen in it an at. tempt to wreck their political and religious life in the Dominion. I am sure that it is not the intention of the hon. member to do any such thin. Mr. Chupleau moved the adjournment of the debate.

The break in the stonework of the dam was plainly seen. There can be no estimate of the loss of life yet, or of property, but the latter will reach into millions, while the loss of life without doubt will be great, as many families were living near the stream in the narrow can- yons. The confirmation of the news of the loss of the big dam has heightened the excitement. As the wires are now down near Prescott Junction, it is hardly pro- bable any additional information will be received tonight. A courier who brought telegrams for the owners of the Walnut Grove dam arrived at 8 o’clock last night, and left this morning. He stated five bodies had been recovered and identified.

The min continued throughout the night, and early yesterday morning the water rose to the top of the dam and out a. small pne- eage near the centre, which rapidly widened and deepened as the water poured over it, until in less than 20 minutes the little stream had become a. roaring cataract, The storage company is blamed for not providing a. sufficient outlet for the water in times of danger. Not the slightest doubt had been enter- tained at the safety of the dam across the Hesseyamps River, which gave way yesterday. Numerous houses had been erected by miners at various points along the course of the stream. These were up- lifted by the raging waters as though they had been corks, and floated down the stream until they were dashed to pieces. The first intimation of the disaster was a sound reembling thunder, and at the same instant a perpendicular well of water, fully filty feet high, csme rushing down the narrow valley with almost incredible speed. Fortunately there were but comparatively few people living near the bottom of the hillsides, and of these a. large number were warned by the awful sound and escaped to higher ground.

Two months elapsed after these events before Lieut.-General Baron Kcrfi, Gover- nor-General of the Province of the Amoor, instructed the directors of prisons that the secret edict ofivflarch, 1888, which ordered ’ soners should be treated .4 .‘v V v - rt» . manna: as criminals coridemed tor common law cffendes, would be enforced, and or- dered the directors to notify the political prisoners of both sexes that they would be liable to corporal punishment if they violated certain of the prison regulations. The male prisoners, fortsseing immediate danger, held a. consultation, and sent to the director of the prison a petition that he would telegraph to the Minister of the Interior at St. Petersbdrg, requesting him to suspend the application of the edict. The director refused to pay any attention to their petition, and thereupon the men warned him that the first flogging of a political prisoner would be the signal for the others to commit suicide together. Three days afterwards Lieut.-General Kcrff sent a special order directing that Madame Sigide be punished according to the regulations, and the order Was executed to the fullest extent. Madame Sigida was stripped and received one hundred lashes. She was carried off bleeding and in an unconscious condition, and herdeath ensued from rupture of the heart. WHOLEBM’E SUICIDE . Her three companions committed suicide within an hour of the time of hearing of Madame Sigida’s death. The corpses of the four women were buried at the same time in the courtyard of the common cffenders' prison. For weeks a cordon of vigilance was so closely maintained around the prison that nothing was known of what was happening within. Since the secret channel of information has been re-opened it has been learned that the men carried out their'threat of suicide. They met together and thirty of them shared what poison they could obtain, and then went to their cells to die. The quantity of poison which had been smuggled into the prison was not suflicient to kill quickly, but in the course of the evening two of those who had shared it, Bobokop and Kolujny, died. Their convulsions and the dead silence which reigned in the other cells roused the attention of the guards, and they immediately summoned physi- cians, who administered emetios to the survivors and endeavored by every means to counteract the effects of the poison.

She was taken from the director’s office and con- veyed to the prison in which common offenders are confined. Three of her oom- panions from among the political prisoners were permitted to join her.

A London cable says : Further details of the outrage in the political prison at Kara reached the Russian exiles in London yes- terday from friends who are located a short distance from the scene of the horrors. They are brief, but confirm fully a report of the affair received here from an official in St. Petersburg, who is in sympathy with the cause of the people. A “ HUNGER sums.” According to the details received yester- day it appears that the trouble at the Kara prison originated in a ” hunger strike" in August, when the female political prisoners tried to starve themselves to death to escape the brutalities of their jailers. All the women imprisoned there abstained from food for fourteen days. The jailers did not believe they would be able to keep up the struggle. At first they jeered at the women. than tempted them with food. and then finding this of no avail threatened them. When several of the women were at the point of death from their voluntary abstinence from food, the prison ofiioials resorted to artificial means to compel them to take nourishment. The methods adopted, how- ever, were violent and licentious, and the women were compelled to abandon their strike. Abominable outrages followed, and were of daily and hourly occurrence. This state of things led Madame Bigida. whose death by flogging has already been announced, to ask for an interview with the director of the prison, in hope of secur- ing an amelioration of the condition of the prisoners. This request was granted, but when she was taken before him she found him abusive. It is said that in her exas- peration at his abuse she called him a vil- lain and slapped his face.
