Medicine Hat, N. W. T., Sp< cial: Super­intendent Melllren, of the Northwest Mounted Police, has been “interviewed” in regard to the American cattle being driven across the boundary line by Canadian scouts and then seized as has been reported by cattle dealers in Montana. He denies that there is any foundation whatever in the accusation. The only case which has as yet been brought to his official notice is the Spencer case of last fall, and he states that if the present report is brought to his official notice it will receive his prompt at­tention and be thoroughly investigated. He also states that his men have instruc­tions not to approach the boundary line within two or three miles, and that in his opinion there is no foundation whatever for the report.

a« the fruit season lasts. Every cannery la the State is running at full capacity. Thursday of this w ek one company re­fused an order for twenty car loads of canned fruit. Another company states that two cases for every one packed will not supply the demand upon them. One of the causes for the inability of canneries to meet the orders is the scfficity of labor. It is impossible ro secure the amount of help desired. Cannery men prefer whites, but after employing the latter and all available Chinamen, there is still a call lor more laborers.

B i r m i n g h a m , August 20.—In a speech to­night Joseph Chamlierlain, referring to the Crimes bill, regretted that such a bill was necessary, but the act was, in his judg­ment, intended to protect “our Irish fel­low subjects.” Chamberlain regretted that the government had proclaimed the League. He thinks they were mistaken, though he and others, who acted with him, are precluded from condemning the procla­mation in strong language. He dwelt upon the absence of crime in most of the dis- trictr of Ireland, and thought the other clauses of the Coercion bill would be

QUITE INSUFFICIENT

to enable the Government to deal with iso­lated cases. “I am afraid,” he said “that the course the Government has pursued will land them in the gravest difficulties and danger.” He quoted an Irish landlord who had asked him to use his influence to present tbe proclamation, and who had said that left alone the league was rapidly becoming a laughing stock and sinking into oblivion, but if the Government proclaimed it, it would revive and get renewed sub­scriptions. Regarding the report that he ha d resigned his connection with the dissident party. < hamberlain said: “The statement is entirely unauthorized and without a shadow of foundation. It is true that I dif­fered from the Government on this one point, but I am prepared to support their general policy so far as in my judgment it tends to maintain the Union.”

R E FE R R IN G TO THE RECENT ELECTIONS

and remarks made that the country is returning its loyalty to Gladstone Chamberlain said the country never wavered ih its loyalty to Mr. Gladstone, It thought him grievously mistaken but has not lost its sense of gratitude for his past services. It will be happy for all when Mr. Gladstone enables us to range ourselves on his side. Continuing, Cham­berlain, complained that the recent elec­tions were fought under false colors. The Gladstones candidates, he said, adopted radical Unionists principles and only gained majorities by throwing ove: board alto­gether the Gladstones policy, composed in two great bills. In conclusion, Cham­berlain emphasized the necessity of main­taining the Unionist principles to which they had given adhesion.

B e r l in , August 20.—Emperor William is slowly recovering from an attack of rheu­matism. He was well enough to-day to re­ceive verbal report Of State business and to entertain a small party at dinner. The alarming reports about his condition are without foundation. Dr. Mackenzie, the Crown Priuce's English physician, has sent to the New Y< rk Associated Press corre­spondent here a special report of the Prince’s present condition. The report shows every prospect for a permanent cure of the Prince’s malady. On the other hand it ap pears from the doctor’s report that the curative process will be slow, and that, while there is at present no reoccurrence of the growth in the Prince’s throat, it is not unlikely that there will be a regrowth on several occasions before a permanent cure is affected.

At the latter place thousands were waiting to make observa­tions. Prof. Vagel, of the Beligan expe­dition stationed at J ii rgewitz, on the Volga, telegraphs that the skj was overcast but that the solar protuberances and Chromosphere were observed, although the Corona was invisible. The Russian observers were more successful, their various stations obtaining numerous drawings of the Corona and its spectrum.

I did not wish to be a can­didate, but now I ha’'e accepted and in­tend, as soon as I straighten up my af­fairs and re-t for a few days, to take the stump myself and go through the State.” Speaking of the exclusion of the Socialists, George said personally he was very sorry for the matter, as many of the Socialists were friends of his.

N ew Y ork, August 20.—In the assign­ment of Ives & Co. given out this evening, the statement of the position of the firm, as compiled by the^xpert accountants who had been working on the hooks a week is given. The assiguee says he made no attempt to appraise the value of many different kinds of stock, but took their face value. The total liabilities are given as $16,479.723. The total assets includ­ing all Kinds of railroad, bank and other stock $23,786.300. This leaves a nominal surplus of $7,306,577. But the assignee has placed $1 ,800,000 Cincinnati, Hamil­ton & Dayton preferred

GIVEN TO RO BERT OARKETT,

among the assets. What could be realized on the common Cincinnati, Hamilton &

Dayton and much other stock, is the question that can be solved by an attempt to sell the securities. It is extremely un­likely that anything will be left after thepayment of the secured loan which al­ready hold the greater part of the assets as collateral. The situation is made all the worse by the fact that the r e lo a d stocks depend in great measure for their value upon their hope of realizing thing after the secured loans “» paid off. The great item in the unsecured liabilities is the item of deposits, which amounts to over $9,000,000, and represents the as­set« of railroads which were deposited withlves. The largest créditons the Cincin­nati, Hamilton & Dayton, whose claim is for about $5.000,000. If this proves to £e » total loss, then the stock is practi­cally worthless.

The Kaiser is said to have replied: “Bah, it was need­less to attach so great importance to it. Bismarck cooks as he wishes, but that is no reason why one should eat everything that is cooked.

There were about one thou­sand at the opening to-day, the grand stand, which is larger than that at Butte, being welt filled. The day was cloudy and cold, and the attendance is ahead of what is usual. As to exhibits at the fair, they are not very extensive. The season is too early for agricultural products, and this class is poorly represented. The cattle exhibit is also light, owing to the discour­agement of the stockmen by last winter’s losses. A number of horse raisers have a showing of two or three animals each. Huntley & Clark make the only creditable exhibit of this kind, having eight or ten fine draft stallions, and several general- purpose animals thAt have taken premi­ums for the past four years. The exhibit in the floral hall is up to the usual stand­ard, consisting of fancy work, etc.

T h e Czar’s P ro test.St. P etersburg , August 22.—It is offi­

cially announced that the government has sent a circular to thePowers declaring that it is unable to recognize the validity of Prince Ferdinand’s election to the throue'of Bulgaria. According to the circular Prince Ferdinand acquainted the Czar with the fact- of his election and requested permis­sion to visit St. Petersburg in order to learn the Czar’s wishes before going to Bul­garia. The Czar replied that the Prince’s election

COULD NOT B E RECOGNIZED

by Russia, and that the Prince could, hy no pretext, justify his journey to Bulgaria. The circular, in conclusion, expressed the hope that the Bulgarian people will coin­cide with Russia’s views, and not permit a flagrant violation of the Berlin treaty. The Moscow Gazette say the Russian cir­cular to the Powers regarding Prince Fer­dinand, hAS given great satisfaction throughout Russia. It believes

prince F erdinand’s retirement

now to be inevitable and it save if he does not leave Bulgaria, Russia will renounce her obligations under the Berlin treaty, which she has always regarded as a hitter deception after a glorious war.”

A L on g L ost Crew.San F rancisco, August 22.—Interviews

with the officers of the hark Pearl, which has arrived from Fox Islands, Alaska, elicits the information that there is a prob­ability that in Siberia there are several of the crew of the whaling bark Na;.oleon, which was wrecked about two years ago off the Siberian coast. There were two boat’s crews that were never heard from again after the wreck, among the list being the first and third mates. A piece of wood was secured by the Pearl from the natives on which were carved initials which are supposed to be those of J. B. Vin­cent, of Martha’s Vineyard, Massa­chusetts, who was one of the Napoleon’s crew. Other letters a"d characters under date this year seemed to indicate the m ac’s whereabouts to be at a village near Cape Nauarine, Siberia. Capt. Healy of the Revenue Cutter Bear will endeavor to solve' the mystery, while in Siberian and Alaskan waters. The whaling fleet reports a catch of fitty-four whales and New Bedford, Mass., fleet fourteen whales.

Estimates, based on the government’s statement of the acreage of crops for 1887, place the new yield of wheat at about 6 .2 5 0 ,0 0 0 quarters, after deducting 0 0 0 ,0 0 0 quarters for seed. The foreign wheat trade is devoid of feature. Russian and American samples are com­peting at the lowest price.

VIR6INIA VERBOSITY.

Th« Republicans of the Old Colony

State Have their Saj In Answer

to the Democrats.

They “ Arraign” the ̂ Administration

o f Grover Cleveland” With a Zeal

Worthy a Better Cause.

P etersburg , Va., August 22.—The Vir­ginia Republican State Committee has issued an address to the Republican elec­tors, the first part of which is in answer to the address recently put forth by the Democratic managers. After referring to the endorsement of President Cleveland and that this administration will receive a cordial support from the Democratic party of Virginia, the address states that the Democrats are inconsistent and insincere, as they demand the repeal of the internal revenue system and the passage of the Blair bill, when it is known that President Cleve­land is opposed to the one and

WITHHOLDS HIS INDORSEMENT

from the others. His formal and expressed approval of Secretary Manning’s views and recommendations upon the subject of taxatiou and revenue was conclusive. Sec­retary Manning deprecates that there is no longer any duty or tax imposed upon tea and coffee, and while urging the reduction of duties upon such articles of import as are produced in our country, squarely op­poses any reduction of taxes imposed upon tobacco, fruit distillation and whis­ky. President Cleveland approves these views and recommendations of Secretary Manning. That Cleveland’s administra­tion is a bitter disappointment to the man­agers of the Democratic party of Viginia is attested by

LOUD AND D E E P COMPLAINTS.

It may be that the Democratic managers sincerely wish the repeal of the Internal Revenue system. When they declare for the repeal of a system ns part of the Dem­ocratic faith, they are guilty of efforts to deceive the voters of this-commonwealth. That system is held by the Democratic party as a hostage to compel the over­throw of the Republican policy of protection to American labor and industries. The National Democratic platform, upon which Cleveland was elected, promised a repeal of the Internal Revenue system, but p’edged the party to contiuue Internal Revenue taxes and their application to the payment of the pensions. Every message of President Cleveland has

IG N O RED ANY SUGGESTION

of .a repeal of the international reve­nue system. The Democratic majority of the 49th Congress, speaking in accordance with the views of President Cleveland has given unmistakable respon­ses on behalf of the Democratic party. The address refers to an adverse report upon the bill to reduce the international revenue taxes, submitted hy Mr. Morrison, chairman of the committee of ways and means, July 10, 1886, and to an adverse report upon a iesolution “repealing the taxes upon tobacco,” submitted on the same date bv A.- C. P. Breckenridge, of Ken­tucky. another leader and representative of the Democratic .majority. This is the later record of the national Democracy now in power upon the

R E P E A L O F THE REVENU E 8Y8TEM,

and that tbe Democratic party, which for ten years, excepting the Forty-seventh Congress, controlled the House of Repre­sentatives and failed to act upon the sub­ject, and that it was in the Forty-seventh Congress (Republican) that the taxas were reduced fully fifty millions, the reduction on tobacco being from sixteen to eighteen cents, yet the Laders of the Democratic par y in Virginia are trying to delude the people into the belief that the repeal of that system may be accomplished hy the Democratic nart.y. The promise of this repeal was made in 1884 and 1886 by the several DemoeraticcandidatesforCongress, but the people

* WOULD NOT B E DECEIVED.

It now remains to be tested whether the same hollow pretext can be used in this by the Democrats with any more success than attended them in 1886. We declare that at the moment the Republican party lost control of the government,it wasprepared to act upon this subject; that President Arthur had urged the repeal of the tobacco tax and a Democratic House, with a Republican Senate ready and anxious to reduce the taxes, declined to proceed; that the Republican Party is now practically uniteCTin favor of the repeal of the tax on tobacco and fruit distillation and if re­stored the power will remove the burden which these domestic products have

SO LONG ENDURED.

We assert that the Democratic party in Congress is opposed to the repeal of the In­ternal Revenue system, as shown by the declaration of its leaders from President Cleveland down. w-e appeal to you to support the Republican candidate for the Legislature and not. waste your votes on candidates whose faction favoring the re­peal of these taxes is in a hopeless minor­ity in its national party. The platform of the Roauake Convention respecting the tariff is arraigned as misleading and peek­ing to deceive the ppople upon a question vital to their interests.

A canon was prema­turely discharged, blowing off James Crockett’s right arm, and an instant later a few rods distant another canon was dis­charged prematurely and stretched five bleeding victims on the ground.

The Government is determined to contiuue the work to completion.

L ondon, August 19.—The proclaiming ot the League was the subject of an excited discussion in the lobbies of Parliament this morning. Gladstone asserts that the

overnment is unjust and imprudent in proclaiming the League. The Parnel’.ites say that the Government wishes to create trouble and outrages in Ireland during the coming winter; that the proclamation will force the extremest measures of the League to the front; that the Government will shortly bitterly re­pent their actions. All important docu­ments of the League have been removed from headquarters in Dublin

announced in the Commons this afternoon that the Government had proclaimed the Irish National League. He said the Leagne was proclaimed as a dangerous associa­tion under Section 6 of the Irish Crimes act. The amendment to the bill wan re­cently made a law. [Cheers and counter cheers.] The Government had thus taken

THE POW ER CONFERRED UPON THEM

by act of the statute to prohibit and sup­press the League. Continuing, Balfonr said: “There are two sub-heads of the sixth section of the a»t mentioned in the proclamation, which declares as follows: ‘Whereas, We are satisfied there exists in Ireland an association known as the Irish National League, which, in parts of Ire­land, promotes and incites actB of vio- ienceend intimidation.’” (A voice: “It’s* lie! No branch of the League is engaged in such work!”) The subject was then dropped, and the House went into com­mittee on the laud allotment bill.

■ a f t e r B a l f o u r ’s r e m a r k s

Sexton asked whether the sole ground for the proclamation was that the League is simplv an association tending to interfere with the law. Balfour, in reply, read the terms of the proclamation. Harrington asked whether Balfour was aware that the branches of the League were engaged in registration work; whether he knew that the League was the only asssociation op­posed to the Conservatives’ work, and whetLer the proclamation was intended to paralyze the efforts of the League to assist the Conservatives on the new register. Balfour replied that no branch of the League confiued to registration would be impeded in its work.
