|_-r; .r IPLE BULLET AND SABRE LEADING MARKETS The French Government Is Facingt a Serious Crisis. 'A despatch from Paris says: The news from Southern France during Fri- day night was mostly disquieting. There are those who see or profess to see an insurrection of dangerous pro- portions alrcndy launched, but the facts, or so far as they have‘ reached the capiâ€" tal, do not justify such a deplorable con- clusion. it is true that events in the Midi have taken a much worse turn than seemed at first likely after the initial measures of the Government Wednesday morning, when Ferroul, ex-Mayor of Narbonne, and others were arrested, but up to the present writing there is not sufficient reason for believing that the Govern- ment is face to face with an armed in- surrection. It is known. however, that seven deaths so far have resulted since Wed- nesday at Narbonne. One of the vic- tims was a soldier, while two, father and daughter, were killed in a cafe, the iron shutters of which were down. The rioters captured Special Commis- sary Dulest at Narbonne and are hold- ing him as a hostage. All circulation on the streets is prohibited. A despatch to the Petit Parisien from Narbonne says the town hall square was the scene of A VERITABLE MASSACRE at about‘s o‘clock, resulting in six per- sons being killed and many wounded. One man who escaped told the corres- pondent that he was near the canal and saw a crowd driving a detective along with kicks and blows. With thirty companions he suctkeded in getting the detective from the crowd. The chemists being shut, they carried him to the town hall, on the top steps of which were two officers and many soldiers. The man asked the captain to receive the wounded detective, whereupon an order was given to the soldiers and they lined up, ready to fire. The rescuers were astounded and turned to flee, when at least fifty shots were fired into the rescuers and the crowd following them. The military authorities at Narbonne have taken the direction of everything. Troops occupy every street and square. Fresh troops are arriving therefrom Beziers, Toulouse and Montauban. From 10 o'clock until midnight Mont- pelier was the scene of riot. Three re volver shots fired by unknown men be- gan the disturbances, then the soldiers charged in all directions, clearing the streets around the prefecture and de- ' molishing barricades. killed, but many rersons were wounded, including a lieutenant. IIOSTILITY TO CAVALRY. The crowds hostility to the cavalry began at the arrest of Ferroul, when the cavalry roughly treated the crowd accompanying the ex-Mayor's carriage. Since then the hotels have declined to receive cavalry officers for meals. The butchers are ready to serve the infantry as usual, but will not sell to the cavalry. The feeling has become so strong that the military authorities are not using the cavalry, but are leaving all the work to the foot soldiers. Gen. Turcas upon leaving his hotel, stopped to speak with some one on the pavement. He was immediately sur- rounded by a crowd which threatened to throw him into a nearby canal. The General gave his word of honor that the cavalry should not go out, and he was allowed to leave. Among the victims in front of the town hall were three men and a girl aged 20 years. A despatch from Paris says: Like an electric shock the news ran through Paris about noon on Friday that 11 mil- itary mutiny had been added to the serious developments of the situation in the wine-growing districts of the south. The report that 300 men of the 17th Regiment of Infantry had in a tody marched out of the barracks and joined the peasantry was received at. first with incredulous amazement, and when soon after confirmed, _with feel- ings akin to anguish. ’ Before going the soldiers had pillaged the armory and carried away with them 200 cartridges each. At first the mutin- eers declared they were going to Nar- «boonc to kill the cuirassiers who had charged the populace there, but finally they marched through the night, with drums and bugles playing at their head, to Beziers, where the majority of them had been recruited. and where they arâ€" rived at 6 on Friday morning, All the officers remained at Aude. On ar- rival at Beziers the matinee-rs end-eav- ored to turn the regiment which had replaced the Seventeenth out of bar- racks, but failing in this, they appar- ently came to realize the gravity of the act there committed, and proposed to return to Aude on condition that no disciplinary measures were taken against them. Clemenceau sent an immediate reply that he accepted no canditions, and that his colleagues in the Cabinet fully ap- Nobody was proved of his action. NOTED ATHLETE MEETS DEATH. “Ilodt’ Stuart, of Ottawa, Breaks His Neck Bathing at Belleville. A despatch from Belleville says: Wm. Hodgson Stuart, better- known as “Hod” Stuart, the famous hockey player at Ottawa. met an untimely death in this city on Sunday afternoon between the hours of 2 and 3 o’clock. In company with some companions he visited the wharf and decided to take a bath in the hay. After disrobing he dived off the wharf and swam to the lighthouse, a distance of about. 100 yards. His com- panions did not venture into the water. ‘Hod,” after sitting upon the landing of the lighthouse for a few minutes, dived off, and this was the last seen of him alive. Not rising, an alarm was raised, and parties in a rowboat went to the lighthouse and in about three feet of water the unfortunate man was seen lying upon some rocks. As quickly as possible, he was raised up and taken on shore, but it was evident that life was extinct. Dr. Yeomans was soon ppon the scene, and upon examination discovered that the victim in diving had struck his head upon the rocks, causing a fracture of the skull and dis- location of the neck. Death was in- stantaneous. _ Stuart, who was 24 years of age, was born at Ottawa. His father. Wm. Stuart, was in the city, having the con- tract for the erection of the drill shed, and the son was stljwi'iiiteudending the work. Deceased was married, and in addition to his widow. two small chil- nren survive. The. mother, one brother and two sisters are living in Ottawa, !where the remains were sent at. mid- night after being prepared for burial. .___M_.__. A GERMAN’S SUICIDE. l'ul Muzzle to lIead and Touched Trig- ger with Foot. A despatch from Winnipeg says: A German named Chris \‘egot. working at. (hopping timber about eight miles east of Red Deer, committed suicide by plac- ing the muzzle of a gun next his head and pulling the trigger with his foot. He was said to be under the influence of liquor. At an inquest held by Cor- oner Oollisou on Tuesday afternoon the jury returned a verdict of suicide. -_...-_.:-_._. FLOl‘R MILLS AND ELEVATORS. Preparing to Ilandle This Year's Crop in the “"051. A despatch from Edmonton says: Plans have bcen completed for the erec- tion of a flour mill at MacLeod and an- other at High River. Elevators of a capacity of 40.000 bushels each will be erected in time to receive this year's amp at Claresholm. Stavely, Parkland. (‘cyley and Carstairs. TERRIBLE FOREST FIRES. Conditions Are Appalling in the Upper Ottawa Valley. A despatch from Ottawa says: Mr. Colin Rankin, of Mattawa, who arrived in the city on Thursday, says the forest fires are appalling in the Upper Ottawa Valley. Some days the smoke is so dense as to darken the streets of Mat- tawa, although the fires are many miles away. Mr. Rankin tells of the great danger to Yife along the Montreal River. Reports have reached Mattawa of men having had very narrow escapes, so sudden was the inroad of the flames on the timber regions. The lumbermen who own limits in the Temiskaming. District. will lose enormously. The prolonged dry season had such an effect on timber that it is almost impossible to save it. The heavy rain of Wednesday night completely extinguished the bush fires which have been raging for the past week up the Parry Sound line. The damage is nothing in comparison to the great area over which the fires swept. Between Madawaska and Whitney. for a considerable distance on each side of the railway track, the lightly wooded ground was burned clear. The heavy and valuable timber limits farther back from the right-of-way were practically untouched, the region destroyed being mainly that which had been cut years before and is now springing up again in thick scrub. The St. Anthony Lumber Company, J. R. Booth and the G.T.R. have the rights to the territory swept. *_.__.â€"â€"â€" IIALF‘MILE OF LUMBER BL'RNED.

Theiire started in the dryinga‘oom and spread rapidly until half a mile of lum- ber piled many feet high was ablaze. Dynamite was used in an endeavor to stop the flames. but it was futile.

A despatch from St. Petersburg says: their refusal to do so, Captain Akulotf Details of the mutiny.of sappcrs at Kiev show that it was only suppressed after a bloody engagement at midnight, June 17, between the mutinecrs and loyal troops. About seventy men were killed or wounded. The mutiny was planned to coincide with a political strike, as a reply to the dissolution of Parliament, involv« ing the railroads, telegraphs and mails. The decision of like revolutionary staff here to refrain from demonstra- tiOIlS was disobeycd by the hot-headed sappers. At midnight, June 17,‘five hundred men at a given. signal left their beds. disarmed the Sentries, hurriedly dressed, obtained possession of their rifles, broke into an armory. secured a. number of loaded cartridges and then marched to the camp square and fired a volley in the air.

The desvpatches of tin; Associated Press from Kiev detail- ing the mutiny there were turned over to the censor and held up for from twelve to twenty-four hours before they were delivered.

A despatch from Winnipeg says: Sir Thomas Shaughnessy, president. of the Canadian Pacific Railway, says the company is considering the introduc- tion of electric engines in the Rocky Mountains. in an interview here on Wednesday. he said: “We have not yet definitely de- cided to place the electric locomotive anywhere along the line, but if we do install them soon, it will be at Ihe points of British Columbia, where the heavy grades are. The estimates from the tests so far made, show very little difference between electric and steam, with our present volume of traflic. The electric locomotive is slightly more ex- pensive, but, of course, with an increase in traffic the difference would be in favor of the electric locomotive. I think we have a sufficient water supply to generate all the power that we would need in the event of inaugurating the electric system.” p}â€"_ TEN YEARS FOR ARSON. Sentence Imposed Upon Gordon Charles by Magistrate. A despatch from Toronto says: Be- cause he set fire to the property of his former employer, Gordon Charles, an Englishman, was on Friday sentenced to ten years in Kingston Penitentiary by Magistrate Denison.

He followed this up with a‘ letter to McMahon, tel- ing that he had caused the fire. DOUBLE FATALITY AII‘ TORONTO. Considering Their Pouring Coal Oil on Fire Leads to Fatal Results.

The Proâ€" mier made a journey to Oporto in the hope of securing a popular CIldOI‘SCIIlf‘IlL of his policy, but at every station be- tween Lisbon and Oporto crowds hissed and booted the train as it passed. Oporto received the Premier with craje ‘ banners in place of flags, and with yells and insults instead of the hoped for cheers. When the dictator returned to Lisbon there occurred a furious riot out- side the railway station. The cavalry charged the mob. and the infantry fired into it. Oiliccrs‘ commands drowned the cries of “Death to the dictator 1" Revol- vers were freely used by the crowd. A young officer was mortally wounded. A neighboring square was filled with killed and wounded laid out in rows. The principal fighting took place un- der the windows of the Hotel D‘Angle- terre. Several English visitors wit- nessed the struggle, and said the people fought. for hours with sticks and stones against the soldiers, who fired volleys. Women with aprons filled with stones Des- supplied missiles to the men and urged Republican leaders harangucd the people to revolt. Barricades were formed and cafes invaded, the mob breaking up furniture for their exten’r pcrc fortifications. The chief Lisbon cafe was completely destroyed. The mob fought with great fury, undismayed by the volleys of the troops. Friday was a day of mourning for the dead. All the llc\\'.<ptl[)cl‘s appeared with deep black Tiftl'tTPI‘S, and on the business offices and pruute houses flags flew half mast. \‘vindows were draped in crepe. Friday night again the troops were firing on the pmple in the public squares. Most ser- ious events are expected. The spirit of revolt is widespread and the censorship strict.
