"Too Late to Save Reputation"—

TheStrong Points for tbe Plaintiff.

Public Feeling Changing.

Epcclal to The Mobnixo Call.

London. June B.—When the trial of thebaccarat scandal case was taken up to-daySir Charles Russell resumed his address forthe defense which was interrupted last Sat-urday by adjournment of the court SirCharles commenced by calling attention toSir WilliamGordon Cumming's methods ofplaying baccarat, saying: "Ifwhat ArthurStanley Wilson has sworn to took place Itexcluded all that class of suggestions ofwhich no trace appeared in the correspond-

ence between Sir William. General OwenWilliams and Lord Coventry, to the effectthat the accusation arose from misunder-standing the plaintiff's system of play."Sir Charles said that in his opinion the onlycourse open to Sir Edward Clarke, leading

counsel for the plaintiff, was to announcethe whole accusation as an invent! This,he said, would be fatal. "Was it possiblefor an innocent man to adopt the coursetaken by plaintiff?" asked the attorney."

lie says he did not ask to be confrontedwith the witnesses, because he was advisednot todo so. Put the impulse of an honor*]able man would have been to insist that hisaccusers should be brought .ice to face withhim.

APOSSIBLE MISTAKE.

"Instead of this the juryhad placed beforethem the feeble suggestion that the *«.;•-

nesses mistook 'coups trois' foracts of cheat-ing. Ifthis was so. the plaintiff's conductcnuld have been explained, But there wasnot a syllable of a suggestion of that kinduttered at Tranby Croft. The plaintiffsigned that paper and knew that in so do-ing it was the same as an ad miss ofguilt." Sir Charles then cleverly endeav-ored to discount the arraignment of theWilson family and other members of theTranby Croft baccarat party, which ho an-ticipated would be one of the few errors inthe address for the plaintiff, which SirEdward Clarke would snake for the other6ide, concluding with the remark that beconfidently left the defendant's case in thehands of the jury, being fully aware the lat-ter would do their duty and their verdictwould uphold the evidence which wis givenin their behalf. When sir Charles Russellsat down there was a murmur of surpriseat counsel for defendant** haying closed hisaddress rather unexpectedly.

counsel FOI. THE PLAINTIFF.Soiicitor-Uenernl Sir LIward Clarke, lead-

ing counsel for plaintiff, took the floor, andin a few bentences tersely invited tlie atten-tion of the jury. He then commenced bysaying it had been "common talk" that thePrince of Wales' continual presence in courtdunug the trial of this suit had been for thepurpose of restraining the agues of thelawyers engaged in the case from comment-ing upon the Prince of Wales' connectionwith it. This remark caused a .sensation,but it was nothing to what followed. Con-tinuing, Sir Edward intimated that thepresence of the Prince of Wales in courtwould not prevent him from making anycomment necessary, saying that he, counsel,had a painful duty to perform, and that heintended to perform it honestly and fairly.Hi*opponents, he continued, had alwaysbeen careful to allude to him, counsel lorplaintiff, as "the Solicitor-General," and he

led, "while Iam proud of the title, Imust remind the jury t*>at 1 appear in thiscase simply as an English barrister, aud Iam obliged to regard the friendships, andeven my own interests, and comment on theconduct and evidence of oue of the highestin the laud."

ATTACK OX THE PKIN'CE.Sir Edward Clarke, as he uttered these

words, turned squarely around until hefaced the Prince of Wales, upon whomevery eye in the court was then fixed, andwho nervously crossed his legs, while theaudience was utterly aghast at what wasconsidered to be the audacity of the

tor-General, In several directionsthe whispered comment, "Why, he isgoing to attack the Prince of*Wales I" wasdistinctly heard, and caused all attention tobe riveted upon plaintiffs counsel. Con-tinuing, the .Solicitor-General remarked thatSir Charles Russell, for the defendants, hadsaid that "even if the jury found forplaintiffacd disregarded the document thelatter had signed at Tranby Cro.t the mili-tary authorities old t.ike the matter up,and that Sir William Cordon Camming _name would be stricken from the army list.1 wish to say in unmistakable terms," ex-claimed Sir Edward Clarke, raisiug hisvoice until it echoed tellingly through thecourt-room, "that it would be impossiblefor the authorities to do any such thing, anto leave on that list the name, of the FieldMarshal, the Prince of Wales, and GeneralOwen Williams."

THK AUDIENCE ASTOXTSIIED.This bold statement seemed to completely

take away the breath of the audience, andcaused by far the greatest sensation of theentire 'rial. A hushed murmur of astonish-ment, not unmixed withdismay and someirritation, swept over the court-room. Onemust thoroughly understand the almost re-ligious worship of royalty which prevailsthroughout Great Britain to clearly under-stand the fullmeaning of the crushing sig-nificance of the Solicitor-General's words,aimed directly at the heir-apparent. Amidthis storm the Prince of Wales sat on thebench to the left of the Lord Chief Justice,not a muscle of bis face apparently twitch-ing, leaning ins head upon ids arm and en-deavoring to appear totally unconcerned.

THE CONTBADICTOBT EVIDE_.CE.

After the sensation had somewhat sub-sided, Sir Edward directed his attention tothe discrepancies which, be asserted, ex-isted between the precis, or memorandum,drawn up at Tranby Croft, which accused BitWilliam Gordon Camming of withdrawing;as well as adding counters to those he hidpreviously staked at baccarat, and the state-ment, v.hich the Wil-on family disclaim,that there was a preconcerted plan to watchCumming on the second night of baccaratplaying. Sir Edward followed this with thearraignment of tire Wilsons, which wasmost severe and cutting.

"Yes," exclaimedtie Solicitor-General, referring to the Wil-sons, "they undoubtedly have money, buteven ifSir William would condescend totake it from such a source, Ishall not askthe jury to fix damages beyond a nominalsum."

THEYHAD NO SUSPICIONS.Solicitor- General Calso dwelt strongly

upon the fact that the Prince of Wales,General Williams and Lord Coventry allbased their opinions on Arthur StanleyWilson's statement, which the latter hadsince modified, and upon the fact that thePrince of Wales, Lord Coventry and Gen-eral Williams testified there had not been asingle suspicious act upon the part of SirGordon Cumming. Sir Edward Clarke di-lated upon the facility with which peopleimagine things when ihey

#have been pre-viously advised of their possible existenceand which never really happened. II* saidthere was nothing in the accusations againstthe plaintiff that could not be explained bythe system of play Camming adopted, thoughthe jury were asked to believe thai theplaintiff had descended to adopting thetricks of the lowest sharper.

THE WILSON FAMILYSCOBED.The Solicitor-General commented sarcas-

tically upon the ornamental position occu-pied by the head of the Wilson family, who,counsel .-.aid, was not consulted throughoutthe proceedings, and who apparently had togive way to bis son-in-law, Mr. LycettGreen, who was deputed to defend the fam-ilyhonor. "Aman of the mature age of 31years," said the Solicitor-General, cuttingly,

referring to Green— "who rode to thehound* four days ina week." Wheu Greenheard the Pi ince of Wales say "Give himanother tenner. Iwish people would puttheir stakes in a conspicuous place," he(Mr. Green) came to the conclusion that SirWilliam had been cheating, and rose fromthe table full of valiant resolution ; but,

changing his mind, Gr*en wrote to hismother-in-law, in magnificent tones of e'e-v.it d morality, and then refund to playag in, and afterward directed the atientionof the Prince of Wale*., who was agai'i .-res-ent, to toe affair, and who, without hearingSir William's version of the occurrence,condemned his intimate friend.

TO SAVE THE TRINCE'S KEPCTATION."What was Sir William Gordon Cum-

ming's reason for signing the documentabout which so much has b-en said?" askedthe -solicitor-General, looking straight intothe Prince of Wales' eyes. "Itwas," lissaid, after an effective pause, "to save thePrince of Wales." "Among the masses ofthe people," Sir Edward continued, titteringeach word with startling distinctness, "itisknown that a club or inn could bepr M-cuted for playing baccar.tt, and in agreater part of the community there was afeeling that this unhappy incident oughtnever to have been allowed to becomeknown, because the circumstances werethose which were at variance with the feel-ing and conscience of the peoulc. Thenmere was the strange ami subtle li*flu»*nc«ofroyally," still more solemnly and dramatic-ally said the Solicitor-General; "and SirWilliam Gordon Cumming's action in sign-ing that document was due t.i th*.influencewhich has adorned history, and which hasmade many Knights do un_.ni-.iuly aud dis-honorable deeds tv save a King, becausethey gave their honor freely, as they wouldhave given their lives for the interests ofdynasty, or to conceal tue foibles of aPrince." ,"--•\u25a0-\u25a0-*

Ills ELOQUENCE APPLAUDED.A slight ripple of applause, which was

promptly suppressed, broke out in court asthe eloquent jurist uttered the last words,in the most couching and impressive man-ner.

"Che document," continued Sir Ed-

ward Clarke, with increasing force, andamidst the most intense silence throughoutthe court-room, "was signed by Sir WilliamGordon dimming in order to savo thePrince of Wales from scandal. The mottoof Sir William Gordon Cutniiiiag's familyis 'without fear.' He came into the wit-ness-box without fear, confident of a ver-dict, which he wished to wipe the stainfrom his noble record of service with hisgallant regiment of brave soldiers." MrEdward Clarke's plain language through-out, when he referred to the Prince ofWales, and when ho made the assertionthat the precis was prepared by Lord Cov-entry and signed by Sir William Gordondimming, solely in order to shieldthe Prince of Wales from scandal, dusedone oi the greatest sensations of tins sen-sational trial, and those who heardthe remarks made in court were so Ira-pressed with them that they were generallydiscussed afterward, and were commentedupon in the clubs and other circles far intothe night and early morning. The So icitor-Geuerai quoted, as a basis of these startlingallegations, au extract from the Earl ofCoventry's diary, in which the followingwords occur: "We were induced to recom-mend this course because we desired toavoid scandal, aid in order to keep thename of the Prince of Wales out of it.""sir WilliamGordon Camming, as well asthe Earl of Coventry," said Sir Ed .van!, "isloyal to the Prince of Wide?, who has beeumost kind to him, and "Sir William GordonCamming signed that document because hewas willing to sacrifice himself as his oldfrinds were willingto sacrice him in orderto save the reputation of one the recollec-tion of whose friendship will always bebright in his memory.'*

TOO LATE TO SAVE DEPUTATIONS.The Solicitor-General said slowly to the

jury: "Itis too late to undo much of themischief which has been dove," aud turningto the Prince of Wales and looking the lat-ter direct ivthe face for about the space ofa minute, be continued in a voice ap-parently shaken withemotion, "and itmaybe too late to save the reputation of somepeople mentioned in this case, but," againturning to the jury, "itisnot too late for youto prevent the completion of the sacrifice ofthis gallant officer." Sir Edward Clarke'sspeech was regarded as a most eloquent andtelling effort, and as he closed bis remarksthere was a burst of spontaneous applause,cheering and hand-clapping throughout thecourt, which caused the Lord Chief Justicelo shout, "Sdene**! this is not a theater." .The Lord Chief Justice's all had the de-sired effect and the applause stopped, butas Sir William Gordon Cumming rose frombis -eat a minute liter, and while the Pi 'neeof Wales and Lord Coleridge were tillonthe bench, there was a renewal of the cheersand iiand-clap..!iii_, oi which tiie plaiutiiiappeared to take no notice.**.The ...re, it was plainly evident, appearedgreatly impressed with the speech of th.

r-Geiieral and as he ended Itthe re-mark was heard throughout the court:"Cumming willget a verdict, or at leas*, thejury will disagree." Ths court then ad-journed until to-morrow, when the LordChief Justice willsum up and the case willbe given to the jury.

large number of tents to sheltet those whohave fled from their home*. The subter-ranean rumblings continue, and occasion-ally slighter shocks than those of yesterdayare felt. The damage d*ne yesterday ismuch greater than at first reported. Thetowns are practically destroyed.

A Foil and Complete Statement of All HisTransactions With the Suspended

Institution.

ffecial to Thi Monviwa c.__.r_

Philadelphia, June B.—A larg*. crowdwas present at the meeting of the'lnvesti-gation Committee to-day,, attracted by thefact that Postmaster-General Wanamak-rhad promised to appear and testify to all theknowledge be had in reference to thebank'- management, Mr. Wanaiuakor waspromptly on hand with his son and partner,Thomas B. Wanam.ker, ;.ih* at the con-clusion of the examination Examiner Drewread bis statement, which he said was an

answer to all the allegations that have con-nected his name with the Keystone Bank,and was at the same time a full and com-plete statement of all his transactions withthe bank. His statement said, insubstance:"Ihave been a depositor only; never wasan officer or Director; never owned a shareof the stock, but held until recently 2515shares as collateral. The Sim of:JohnWanamaker, consisting of three persons,had an account with the Keystoue Bankand the firm's account, by arrangement

with the bank, win made responsible forMrs. Wauamaker't checks upon the bank,which, for convenience, were kept in aseparate account. It is substantially oneaccount under two heals. Mrs. Waua-maker's account could not be overdrawn,while my account had a balance to itsciedit. Under these circumstances, her ac-count was not overdrawn when the bankclosed according to our books which showa balance inour favor, itis true the bankcharged against our account at its settle-ment a short time before the failure B**ooowhich no one at our off.*.- know*, anythingabout and which we refuse to recognizi un-tilit is explained. We kept up our depositsstraight through the panic." -

Mr. vVanamaker then read, a statementshowing tha deposits in the Keystone BankIn the months of November, December,January, February and up to March 20th,react) ins: a total. of $1,263,896. "These de-posits had been gradually -creased, begin-ning with.January, knowing, as the publicdid generally, that Marsh was conferringwith the shareholders to rai>e, assessments,and, further, knowing that it was commonrumor that the bank was short. Our coursewiih the Keystone B.mk was solely dictatedby the ordinary prudence of business men.Inever knew of any irregularities in theKeystone Bank until after the run, whenLucas* indebtedness was mad** known tothe Directors, and Iwas informed that hisestate intended to reimburse the bank.Later, Iwas told by President Marsh, forthe first time, that he feared some of thesto.k Iheld as collateral was not properlyissued.* Ihad no knowledge tbat the bankwas going to close when it did. Alldis-counts granted to my firm of myself weremade in the customary manner."

Mr. VVanamaker said that from the bestliifonna*T***a'*._ has the""i.l__h'est amount otsingle name papers held was £50.003 up toFebruary, 1890 In that month, in additionto this. he had a discount of $50,000 fur fivemonths, which was understood to be per-sonal t .*> him individually at the time lie re-ceived it. "Any discounts beyond this arenot properly chargeable to the firm's ac-count. On one occasion Marsh called aidsaid he wanted $60,000 of the firm's paper,as they understood, for country hanks.They Kara it to him, and for boom timepressed the Keystone Bank to turn over theproceeds, and finally got them by piece-meal, l'eiore tne paper was paid welearned that itwas la the Keystone Bank,and we had an \u25a0 intimation that it had beensecured for u>e at the Clearing-house."VVanamaker said he never borrowedpersonally from the bank except onthe one occasion above slated. Tho paperftpuearlng in his personal account was paperreceived in the course of business withwhich he settled. Lucas' indebtedness tohim was by reason of Lucas having failedto keep an agreement. Wanamaker neversuggested auy person, directly or Indirectly,to the Secretary of the Treasuiy or Comp-troller forth*}receivership of the KeystoneHank, nor did he Id any way endeavor toinfluence the appointment. He did notknow his brother had entered bail forMarsh until lie read of the fact in thepapers while traveling in the West. Henever had business transactions with Bards-ley, individually or as the City Treasurer,or withany oue representing him in eitherCapacity.

Wanamaker had esteemed Drew highlyfor years on his. reputation as a bank ex-aminer. After tlie bank failed lie sawDrew twice and talked about the questionof establishing anew bank with new men.Wanamaker knew Lucas in a businessway from ear manhood and never heard awhisper against his business integrity untilafter lie was dead. During 1887, upon thebelief that Lucas was a rich man and aknowledge of his investing in various enter-prises as a capitalist, Wanamaker told himof his great desire to assist in preservingthe independence of the Beading Railroadproperty and that he (Wanamaker)thought the purchase of certain holding.of stock held by parties inimical to the re-organization would be profitable and useful,and invited Lucas to join him insuch pur-chase. The agreement was verbal and to theeffect that Lucas was to supply certainsums if money as Wanamaker called forthem and deposit the same to Wanamakcr'spersoual account in the Keystone Bank. Inaccordance with that agreement Wana-maker drew checks on that account to theextent of about $60,000. Upou several occa-sions when he notified Lucas that moneywas needed. Lucas brought him stock of theKeystone Bank which he told him to use asit was not convenient to furnish cash at thetime. As a result, when Lucas died, Wana-maker had 2613 shares of Keystone Bankstock so received.

After Lucas' death Wanamaker found hehad not made the deposits as agreed andthat his (Wanamaker* a) account was over-drawn. He immediately made itgood byclosing it with commercial paper receivedin his business, which was all duly paid.Lucas, therefore, did not inreality furnisha penny for the purchase of the Beadingstock Wanamaker held, and ail tho latterhad for Lucas' share was Keystone stockcertificates. lie beld this subject to the ad-justment of his account. Mr. Marsh andMrs. Lucas urgently desiied, after therun of last December, to have thestock returned to the bank. This Wana-maker declined to do. lie maintained thisposition until the bank closed, and then,recognizing that the stock had no moneyedvalue, and being further assured that if sur-rendered to the Lucas estate it would helpthe rehabilitation of the bank, he surren-

red it. What he surrendered was value-less to him, but might possibly help thebank and save others. Being a collateralholder under the law he could not be as-sessed upon the stock, hence any supposi-tion that he could have parted with thestock to avoid an assessment is withoutfoundation and fact. .-.-.

Last autumn Marsh claimed that the bankhad strained itself to help customers andwanted help, and the firm paid off all itsdiscounts as fast as they fell due. Later,when the run came, Marsh used come tothe firm,saying he had no one to go to, as-suring them that everything was right, pre-cisely as he did at the Clearing-house. liepressed Wanamaker to buythe Lucas Build-ing and seashore property, to loan paper firuse at the Clearing-house to recover othercollateral, all of which Wanamaker de-clined.

About 8 o'clock the night before thefailure Marsh called upon Wanamaker inWashington to say that ho had been to theComptroller and iuformed him of his doubtsabout the issued stock, aud asked Wana-maker whether be could in any way helnthe bank. Wauamaker said ".No, andthe interview closed.

In conclusion, Mr. Wanamaker said thatinstead of the bank losing a penny by him,he hid only been its profitable customer.. Responding to questions by Biting, Wana-maker said he borrowed money on the stock

Lucas gave him until there was a questionabout it*,verity, and then be gathered itupand held it.

Washington, June B.—Nothing IsknownIn official circles here of the reported secre-tion ofarms by tho Itata before her sur-render to Admiral McCaun. Itis assumedfrom Admiral McCaun's reports to theNavy Department that the Insurgents havebeen acting in good faith throughout, butlvany event the arms and ammunition willcut a smaller figure Inthe legal proceedingsthan r«t first supposed, and even if some ofthem have been landed la Chile it is doubt-fulif this Government has reason to com-plain. The fact that she took arms aboardat sea might be of Importance during thetrial as evidence tending to sustain the libelin its allegation ol her purpose to violatethe neutrality laws, but .oral evidence wouldbe quite as effective as the production of thearms in court. So it appears there was noabsolute necessity for the surrender of anyarms to Admiral McCann.

HAYTI'S REVOLT.

President Hippolyte Executes the Rebelsand Restores Order.

New York:,June -The steamer OrangeNassau arrived to-day from Port-au-Princeand brings the first definite news of the lateinsurrection in Hayti. The uprising was ofa serious character, and for a time threat-ened important consequences, but the Gov-ernment repressed the rebellion by promptand stern measures. The insurrectionistsstormed the prison at Port-au-Prince and anumber of prisoners were released, whenthe military appeared on the scene and cap-tured the whole party.

N. B. Walker, a well-known resident ofPort-au-Prince, and a passenger on thesteamer states that there was considerableexcitement in that city. Martial law wasdeclared and some sixty persons were shotMay 25th. Hippolyte has everything inhisown hand**, and killing goes on at the rateof two or three persons a day.

NATIVES SHOT LIKE DOGS.Later mail advice from Port au Prince

dated June Ist say: The massacre of St.Bartholomew has had reproduction herelately. There have been rumors that a revo-lution against liyppolite was imminent, andthese reports having reached his ears hocaused the arrest of about eighty suspectedpersons. Among them was General Sully,who hid himself when informed thatho was wanted. Failing to securehim. his wife was taken instead,and thrown into prison. The outbreak oc-curred May 23d. A former Cabinet Min-ister, at the head of a band of well-armedfollowers, stormed the prison and released200 prisoners, who were provided witharms,and when Uyppolite's troops arrived therewas a bloody battle. The rebels were routedand their leaders shot at once. By night-fall forty men had been put todeath. Otherswero captured and shot on the three fol-lowingdays. Every man suspected of be-ing in sympathy with the insurgents wasput to death without trial as soon as cap-tured. Most of the 200 prisoners releasedfrom the jail by the insurgents were recap-tured and shot.

WHAT CAUSED THE REVOLT.The outbreak seemed to have been pre-

cipitated by the killingof Ernst Kigaud, themost prominent merchant in Portau Prince,liyppolite suspected him of being in com-munication with Legitime and of havingbrought a cargo of arms for the rebels,liyppolite went to his house witha detach-ment of soldiers, aud Kigaud denied that hehad any arms concealed either at his storeor in his house. The President called himinto the street and had him shot down bythe soldiers. The next morning the nephewof Rigaud called at Hyppolite's house toask about the killing,not knowing his unclewas shot by the President's order. As soonas he stated the object of his visit liyppolitehad him dragged into the street and shot.About the same time Alexis Rossutonal, anInoffensive "and much-esteemed man, wasshot down without warning. Another manwas put up against the Cathedral wall andbutchered. Seventeen men were executedina batch, and, even as this letter is beingwritten (June Ist) an occasional vol-ley tells that another wretch hasgone down. There Is no fighting inthe streets lo excuse this. Everyexecution is carried out in the most cold-blooded way, the executioners being soldiersbelonging to the most degraded type of menwho seem to enjoy the bloody task. Dayand night Hyppolite's troops patrol thestreets, searching for persons suspected ofbeing in sympathy with insurgents. Busi-ness is practically suspended. The bodiesof the rebels shot are loftlying in the streetsfor hours.

To-day a grand festival of peace—so-called—is ordered by liyppolite. The festi-val is to celebrate the fact that the rebelshave been defeated aud peace established.It is Impossible to enumerate in detail allthe murders that have been perpetratedunder color of the law. It Is estimatedfrom May 2Sth to June Ist that800 persons have been put to death.No one can say how long this state of af-fairs willlast or what the result will be;nor can any one who has not been an eye-witness of the scenes of horror enactedhere have any idea of the terrible conditionof the people of Port-au-Prince.

THE COMPOSITORS.

Thirty-ninth Annual Convention of the Inter-national Typographical Union.

Boston, JulyS.— The International Typo-graphical Union this morning began itsthirty-ninth annual convention. President^Edward T. Plank of Indianapolis, in hisaddress, said, in relation to the reduction ofthe number of hourj of labor, that the move-ment is ono that should only be undertakenwhen fully prepared for an earnest andlong struggle, and then only by the con-certed actions of all the unions at the sametime. It would be a good plan to submitthe question to a vote whether or not weshall make au attempt to enforce the nine-hour day next spring. In this way we maygain the support of the American Federa-tion of Labor. '_.'

The drafts upon the funds during theyear have been very heavy, the number oflookouts, strikes, etc., having been large.

The opening session saw the settlementof an interesting question concerning thesta tus of a delegate. Delegate O. L.Smithrepresents the San Diego (Cal.) delegation,while his home and place of business isDenver, Colo., where, he is engaged inthe job-printing business. There were twoobjections made officially why he should notbe admitted— first,because lie was an em-ployer, and second, because he did not livein the section he represented. Delegatesfrom California, Nevada, Colorado, FortWorth. St. Louis and Pittsburg spoke inop-position to his b-ing admitted. The Com*mittee on Delegates uphold the sentiment bydeclining to admit him.

out forcibly the discussion in regard tomatters of belief and faith which haveshaken the ProtMtant church, and fromthis drew his conclusions that creeds arecrumbling, and willere long disappear. Hecannot, he says, accept the belief of theTrinity of Jesus, and as to why he believedthat Protestant creeds are failing, he saidone had to but notice how the teachers ofthe Gospel are demanding the right to maketheir own deductions, provided they ac-knowledge the divinity of Christ.

The German Empress is accompanyingthe Emperor on a visit to Amsterdam. Thefeeling which prevails inHolland about thisimperial visit is not wholly unmixed withdelight.

POLITICALCONDITION OF ENGLAND.We believe that the organizers and agents

of the Conservative party all over the coun-try have been instructed to make a carefulreport on the state of affairs in the differentconstituencies incourse of the autumn. Noearly dissolution is intended, but the headsof the party are desirous to know fromthose best informed the exact position offlairs. Their agents have been instructed

to give their opinions in the frankest man-ner, so that the true position of affairs maybe known. There seems to be no doubt thativ many counties the agricultural laborershave been largely captured by the Liberalswith magnificent aud glowing promises.'

CANADA'S LOSS.

Arrangements for Sir John Macdonald'sFuneral— His Successor.

Toronto, June B.—From almost everypoint iv Canada come tidings of universalsorrow at the death of Sir John Macdonald.Everywhere signs of mourning are to beseen. Arrangements have been made to firefive-minute guns at Ottawa and in every cityin Canada during the progress of thefuneral of the dead Premier. There is astrong feeling that an autopsy ought to bemade on the body of Sir John by independ-ent medical men, in order tbat the publicmay know what was really the cause of

death.THE COMING CABINET.

A special dispatch from Ottawa says: Allsorts of rumors are flying around to-day asto whom the Governor-General willcall up-on to form the new Government. Itis saidto-day that no one had yet been summonedby the Governor-General, and -that it wasnot probable any one would be until afterthe funeral. Tbis delay of at least fivedays is almost without precedent. Itgivespoint to the curious story afloat to the effectthat the Governor-General left the meetingof the Royal Society at Montreal ratherhurriedly last Wednesday, and called uponSir John Macdonald at Earnseliffe the nextday. It is said Sir John then mdi atedwhom he thought should be called upon to

form the new Ministry in case his illnessterminated fatally.

FEARING ANNEXATION.The Empire, the Government organ, in an

editorial on "The Duty of the Hour," says:"The matchless leader is no more. Thetongue of the patriot is silent. The headwhich planned and the band which exe-cuted in his country's service are laid lowindeath. Remember that those who wouldabandon British rule on this continent andhand us over to the dominion of a foreigncountry have for years had their ghoulishhopes placed on the death of the leader thatthey might undo the work which he hasdone, and that tbe self-couvicted traitor,who has become the mouthpiece of a oncegreat party, declared in a treasonable pam-phlet, which the grand old mau himselfdragged to light, that 'whatever course theUnited States may see fit to adopt, it isplain that Sir John's disappearance fromthe stage is to be the signal for a movementtoward annexation.'

"FOREWARNED IS FOREARMED.""Even In the lifetime of the leader they

have made their desperate onset, but weredriven back by his valorous arm, though hegave his life-blood to the contest, and nowlies a maityr to his country's cause. Butnow the opportunity they have hoped forhas gone, and every force that they canmake for blotting out from the map thename of Canada, and handing us over, inthe language of traitors, as a "tier of North-ern States," will be marshaled to the fray,with redoubled fury. The hope of theenemy is In prophecies, that, when the oldleader is gone, the hosts he has led so oftenon to victory will be scattered as sheenwanting a shepherd. When the plottersand, traitors, both domestic and foreign,who are seeking to bring about the annexa-tion of this couutry to the United Statesthrough thes. ecious schemes of unrestrictedreciprocity or continental free trade, havebeen so completely crushed that they willnever dare to raise their heads in Canada,then, and not till then, can minor or sideissues be discussed."

FAVORING LIBERALISM.Ottawa, June B.—The Globe, the Liberal

organ, discussing the political situation,says: "Though Sir Charles Tupper hasbeen telegraphed for the present impressionIs that Sir John Thompson willbecome the~first" Minister. Liberalism is in control of~

all the provincial governments, withone ortwo unimportant exceptions, and its triumuhat Ottawa is merely a question of a fewmonths, for not only is the old man himselfdead, but his system of government has runits course and came to its end with him."
