PI‘OVISIOI’IS. «10.. 27c; 410, No. A despatch from Paris says: The French Cabinet has accepted the decision of the Supreme Council of War, which pronounced on Tuesday in favor of a three years’ term of service in all branches of the army instead of two years, as hitherto, and the bill will he submitted to the Chamber of Deputies. The measure will add 210,000 men at the lowest estimate to the peace foot. ing of the army, which at present stands at 578,783, excluding officers. Increase the Place Footing of Their Armies. A despatch from Cologne, Ger- many, says: The new German mili- tary bill will add 84,000 recruits to the annual contingent called up for service in the army, according to the well-informed Volks Zeitung. The total strength of the peace footing of the army will thus be in- creased by 168,000 men, bringing it; up to 806,000, excluding oflicers. Explosion Near Baltimore Caused Buildings to Rock. A despatch from Baltimore, Maryland, says: Fifty lives were probably lost and forty persons hurt when the British ship Alum Chine, loading with dynamite for the Panama Canal, blew up off Hawkin’s Point on Friday mornâ€" ing. A barge with 340 tons of dy- namite alongside also blew up. It is believed fire caused the exploâ€" sion. At least four of the crews of the vessels were killed; others leaped into the water. Three of the crew of the U. S. collier Jason, 700 feet- away, were killed and ten fatally hurt, the ship’s upper works being swept away. Six of the crew of the tug Atlantic lying alongside the Alum Chine were killed and the tug practically destroyed. Forty stevedores are unaccounted for. If they were on the steamer it is conâ€" sidered certain that they perished. The tremendous explosion shook the country for miles around. Win- dows were broken and chimneys knocked off houses a dozen or more miles from the scene of the disas- ter.- At Sparrows Point 3. school house was partly destroyed and sev- eral children hurt. Baltimore was shaken as if by an earthquake and tall buildings in the centre of the city were rocked by the shock.

In most cases the fluid supplied quite patently proclaims its lineage from the town pump, with but little suspicâ€" ion of bovine extraction. In one case 42,600,000 bacteriological orâ€" ganisms were discovered in about twelve drops of “milk” taken from a sample provided in one well- known restaurant. This figures out at 7,668,000,000 bacteria per glass. A despatch from Guelph says: Spirited bid-ding featured the an- nual pureâ€"bred bull sale under the auspices of t-heGuelph Fat Stock Club.

The average was $142, as against $98 last year. Two States Kill Meavsure‘svto Ex- tend the Franchise? 1 A despatch from Boston says: The cause of woman suffrage re- ceived a setback in two New Eng- land Legislatures on Wednesday. After several hearings, at which the question was debated in a. spirâ€" ited manner by prominent men and women, a, committee in the Massa- chusetts Legislature voted to re- port “leave to Withdraw” on a. bill providing for a. referendum on a. constitutional amendment, which would eliminate the word “male” from the provision defining the qualifications of a voter. Six mem- bers of the committee voted against suffrage, three for it and two were not recorded; A similar bill was killed in the Maine House by a. vote of eightyâ€"nine to fifty-three, after it had been passed by the Senate. Former Ledgerkceper of a Bank Gets Three Year Term. A despatch from Montreal says: Henri Legace, a ledger-keeper, formerly employed by the Bank of Hochelaga, was on Thursday mornâ€" ing sentenced by Judge Bazin to three ye‘arls in the penitentiary for the theft of some thirty thousand dollars of the bank’s money. Le- gace invented a system of running a false account in his own bank, to which he transferred 'money from several large accounts in the flesh- elaga Bank. He then opened up an account; in a, branch office of the City and District Savings Bank under the name of Amyot and transferred the money in the false account to it, afterwards drawing a cheque on the Amyot account. The police recovered some $20,000 of the money. “Clipper Prince” Sold fér Three Hundred and Twenty-five Dollars Crowd of Five Thousand Storms the Sufiragettcs’ Platform. A despatch from London, Eng- lland. says: The suffragettes held meetings again on Sunday at Hyde ‘Park and Wimbledon Common. They would have met the fate of the previous Sunday’s meetings at the same places, when it required a. strong body of police to escort them to safety, but that on Sunday the authorities took precautions and had large bodies of mounted and foot policemen in attendance. Even at that wild scenes ensued. Five thousand persons assembled in the park and swarmed about the speak- ers’ platform, and by a deafening din prevented any word of “Genâ€" eral” Drummond’s speech from be~ ing heard. The pressure of the surging crowds towards the plat- form at length became so great that reinforcements were hastily summoned. Mrs. 'Drummond and her colleagues were rescued from their perilous position with some difficulty. At Wimbledon similar scenes were enacted. Scarcely a word uttered by the speakers was audible, and they, too, had to be protected. i WOMEN RECEIVE SETBACK. RECORD PRICE FOR BULLS. STOLE THIRTY TIIO U SAND. MEETIN G S BROKEN UP.

A despatch from Cochrane says: That there is a. determination to proceed with the work of extending the T. & N. 0. Railway to James Bay may be indicated by the fact that very soon Admiralty charts are to be issued of the great inland sea. A small hydrographic survey part in charge of Paul Jobin, will leave here on March 20. They will take a team of sixteen dogs, and go over the ice to the scenelof their work at James Bay. A despatch from Athens, Greece, says: The Turkish fortress of J a- nina, the key to the possession of the province of Epirus, with its garrison of 32,000 men, surrendered to the Greek army on Thursday, af- ter a, defenceywhioh forms one of the most brilliant episodes of the Bal- kan war. The surrender was preâ€" ‘ceded by a, fierce bombardment lasting Without cessation for two nights. Every available gun, in- cluding a. number of heavy Howitz- ers, lent by the Servian artillery, was brought to bear by the Greeks on the forts defending the beleagâ€" uered city. N0 fewer than 30,000 shells were fired by the Greek guns during the first day’s cannonade. Gradually the Turkish batteries at Bizani, Manoliar, Sakni, and else- where were silenced under the susâ€" tained fire of projectiles. The Greek commanders by a, feint led the Turks to believe that their at- tack would be made from the right, and as soon as the attention of the defenders had been distracted the Greeks hurled large bodies of in- fantry on to the Turkish left. The Ottoman troop-s, utterly surprised, rell back in disorder. Turkish! Garrison of 32,000 Men Surrender t0 the 1 Greek Army GREEKS CAPTURE JANINAE EXTENDING THE T. & N. 0. HOBBLE SKIRT REVIVED.

The batteries on the heights of Bizani, which had been the main-'- stay of the defence, were unable to stand the pelting of the shells, and had been reduced to complete sil-' ence by 11 o’clock on Wednesday morning. The Greeks pushed their forward movement during the after" noon, and occupied the Turkish‘ batteries in Sakni end Elas Hills, capturing all the guns and one hundred and ten artillerymen. Then the Greek battalions gradual- ly deployed on to the plain in front of the city itself, and. the Turkish flight became general despite all the efforts of the Ottoman officers to rally their men.
