One of the principal topics of discussion at the late Imperial conference was the propos- ed trans-Paciï¬c cable between British Col- umbia and New Zealand and Australia. The strong representations made by the colonial delegates, headed by Mr. Sandford Fleming, who may be considered the father of the scheme, in favour of its adoption has led the Imperial authorities to thoroughly consider the matter of afurvey. The Do- minion Government has recently received an intimation that the British Government cannot undertake the cost of a special sur- vey unless some guarantee is given that the cable will actually be laid. ' In view of this decision, Mr Fleming a few days ago wait- ed on Minister Foster and urged that Can- ada’ should take the initiative in proposing to the other colonies the making of a survey, suggesting that the Dominion‘s proportion toward it should be the loan of a vessel. Mr. Foster was favourably impressed with the proposal, and if his colleagues are agree- able the Australasian Government will be asked to co-operate in the scheme. AMERICAN. Robt. A. West was ï¬ned $2,000 at Detroit last week for opium smuggling. A New York Anarchist declares that to save his ,condemned brothers in Chicago In Montreal a. few days ago, an interes‘ing ï¬nd was made in connection with the old Portuguese Jewish Synagogue, now being pulled down. While the corner stone was being moved from its position a small lead casket with "1835" stamped on its face was noticed, with a. number of ancient and mod- ern coins lying on top of it. Amongst these were coins of Spain. Portugal, Great Britain, and the United States; and some early Spanish coins which are supposed to have been brought out by Jewish colonists. They are in good state of preservation, although some of them are dated 300 years ago. On opening the casket a. package wrapped in helium was found, containing an inscription dated 1777. It showed that the ï¬rst Jewish Congregation inCanada was formedin Mont- real in that year. A number of copper plates were also found, and a copy of the Montreal Herald and Homing] Courier of date June, 1835. A dispatch from San Francisco says : ~The agents of the United States Transcontinent al roads are beginning to realise the fact that the Canhdian Paciï¬c railway is not en- tirely depending on the advantages given to it by Congress through the Inter-State Com- merce bill. Indications are clearly appar- ent that the Canadian road has live agents in New York, Chicago and other Eastern cities, The steamer Mexico which arrived last week from Victoria, B. 0., brought seven earloads of miscellaneous freight, all of which came from the East by way of the Canadian Paciï¬c. ' Passenger business east and west bound is also good, and Agent Soern, of the Canadain Paciï¬c road, is in addition securing his shrine of the'A-ustralian business, much to the discomï¬ture of the Burlington road, which has hitherto practiâ€" cally monopolized it. Mr. Charles Maguire, shipping merchant of Quebec city, Lhas been. ï¬rrested, on a capias of $17,000. The ï¬rm of J. & W. Ma- guiré, of which the prisoner is a member, failed for half a milli n dollars some time ago. " It is alleged by t e trustees of the es- tate that a few days before the failure Charles Maguire, then representing the ï¬rm in New York, purchased a. ship for $17,0 .0 and drew on the ï¬rm here for the amount, subsequently transferring it to a German Jew in New York, but notwithstanding that, the members of the ï¬rm in Quebec entered the ship amongst their assets. It is alleged that Charles refused any satisfaction. He only arrived a few days ago in Quebec, and proceedings for his arrest Were. taken at once. He is now held in default of $17,000 bail. The Mormons intend to obtain a. foothold in the Canadian North “lest. Twelve fami- lies have settled in Southern Alberta, and it is thought that others will settle shorth near Medicine Hat. It is said that the Mormon rulers hmie been in correspondence with the Canadian Government on the subject and that the answers they received Were not such as to prevent their endeavoring to ef- fect their purpose. If the Letter Day Saints wish to establish any settlements in Canada they must leave behind them polygamy and all organised immorality. HOME. Applications are pouri in from all parts hi the country from men esiriug to enlist. for service in “ C" Buttery, British Colum- bia. Sir Arthur Blackwood, who has just re- turned to Montreal after a tour over the Canadian Paciï¬c railway to the Paciï¬c coast, states that in his opinion the C. P. R. route for the mail service to Japan and China would save little in point of time over the Suez canal route, its advantages beingr national rather than postal, but ,admitted that it would be of the utmost value as an alternative route in case of war or European complications. iIndlan hammers iu the North-“'est Terri tories have done remarkably Well this year and those of ()1 ooked Lg’ke will be keen com petitors at the forthcoming agricultural con ventlon.

The coroner’s jury in the case of the vic- tims of the Exeter theatre ï¬re has rendered a. verdict that they came to their death through an accident, but biames the architect of the building for not providing sufï¬cient means of exit, and censures the authorities for not having this defect remedied. According to the most recent ï¬gures the Channel Islands are hardly a source of proï¬t to the British em ire.

There was great excitement in Toledo last week owing to an immense oil confla- gration in the Wood County‘roil ï¬elds. The ï¬re was caused by an explosion in the Park- e1 well No. 1, the greatest oil well in the world. The oil caught ï¬re from the engine and rapidly spread to the other derricks and tanks. At the time of thelexplosion, without warning, 8. column of blue flame or smoke, shot up into the air at least a thousand feet, and extended over 'acres 'of ground. The heat was so intense that it‘was impossible to approach nearer than half a. mile. It could be plainly felt two miles away, and the sight of the burning well was visible in Toledo, thirty miles distant, One of the drillers was caught in a. whirlwind oi smoke or flAme and Wes so badly burned that no hopes were entertained of his recovery and other drillers it was feared had perished in the flames.- ‘ ' -- from the gallows he even to ï¬ring a. city.’ Threé thousand people are going into Kan- sas every day.

All the crops on the bottom land between Mammoth and Benson, 'Ariz., have been destroyed by the recent floods. Fields of growing can: and Corn are now but a. bed of sand. Such a rush of waters has never before been known. It will take several years before the ranches can recover from their losses. Amammoth salt company, composed of all the salt manufacturers in the United States, is about to be formed.

The object of the union is mutual protection, audio keep up to the prices so as to be able to compete witx foreign manufacturers. The organiza- tion will be composed of 63 companies. A lawsuit which came to a conclusion in Atlanta, in“, a few days ago involved the question of the ownership of not only a. lot of mules, horses hogs and cattle, but of sixty slaves as well. The suit was institut- ed in the year 1859, but was never tried nn< til this year. The value of the property in question was over $50,600, and thesnit was brought upon a. written transfer ‘of it signed Sept. 13, 1858. On the same dayâ€"(22nd Sept.) of the present month a. jury set the transfer aside and rendered a. verdict for the defendant. In the meantime the mules, horses, hogs and cattle had died, the negroes had been set free, every lawyer originally in the case except one had died, nhn had grown grey waiting to testify, and children had been born and raised, after the case was brought, to sit upon it as jurors.
