How the NOW FegIOMI Fishermen on tlto FMIL "neatl4M nae Looke4 Llaeak sit washtftatuPp, A Washington, despatch to the New Yetis Star says : " If the delay in the matter of the fisheries.controversy should, saa now seems, probable; result in e more intelligent apprehension of the questioe by the people of this country, Mr. Bayard will have earned the gratitude of both pales of the St, Lawrence. From the very outset of the dispute the true.character of the issues involved has been seditiously i ohscuredbya set of demagogues in New alegland and. n Congress, From the very outset, it hag been made to eppear that the Canadians sought to oppress and outrage our fisher- men. The humblest effort by the. Dominion authorities to assert their undoubted and conspicuous rights was converted into a brutal and wicked assault upon our manhood. The establishment by them of custom house regulations for their own coasts, and ports was described as an act of rowdy bravado; the enforce- ment of those regulations became a grind. ing insult too hideous for endurance, It was never once admitted that the Domin- ion had any claims which we were bound to respect. It was never hinted that Can- ada's territorial privileges amounted to anything more than an idle metaphor, or that her disposition to uphold them could be other than a vicious and unprincipled assault on our dignity. While we were claiming the whole Pacific Ocean north of the fiftieth parallel, denying the right of English vessels to come within 100 miles of our shores, and regarding these colossal assumptions as miracles of modesty and self-abnegation, we flushed with a nob rage at the establishment by Canada of a three-mile limit along her Atlantic Coast, and fairly gasped with fury when it appeared that our vessels would not be allowed to violate Canadian revenue laws within Canadian jurisdiction. There was never a more impressive exhibition of blustering ruffian- jam, and it is to the imperish- able honor of the Administration that it refused to lend itself to the senseless clamor of that time. It stood like a rook against the furious tido of misrepresenta- tion and malignity. It offered a stern and immovable barrier to the most vicious conspiracy of the generation. And now the fruit of this manly course is beginning to appear. A clearer understanding of the case has presented itself to men. Within the past fortnight two signal indications of this have transpired, notably in the power- ful speech of Congressman Butterworth, of Ohio, delivered in his city a few nights ago. The fact is cropping out that vast and far- reaching mutual interests unite Canada and the United States, interests which, in their present aggregate and their futurepromise, are to th e question of the fisheries as a moun- tain to a mole hill. The people of the cities along the lakes aro awakening to the know- ledge that they cannot afford to sacrifice a great and growing branch of their traffic to the unreasonable and arrogant pretensions of Senator Frye's Yankee fishermen. Every- body agrees—the entire country demands with one voice—that our citizens shall re- ceive fair and courteous treatment at the hands of the Dominion authorities, and none will more jealously and more vigi- lantly guard this point than President Cleveland and Secretary Bayard. But it is no longer possible to delude the country with a false presentation of the case, and to inflame the public mind against Great Bri- tain through the medium of slanderous ex- aggerations. This delay, which has been so angrily criticized by Senator Frye's organ, is coming to be understood as a fortunate and auspicious interlude, during which the country hag had leisure to learn much truth and to relinquish many mis- chievous delusions." JUMPED FROM A WINDOW. A Detroit Hotel Boarder Throws Himself from a Fourth Story Window and is Dashed to Death. A Detroit despatch says Chas. M. Haslett, who arrived at Detroit about a week ago, and for the last few days was stopping at the Brunswick Hotel, at 1 o'clock yesterday morning jumped from the window of his room in the fourth story and struck upon the stone pavement be- neath. He was frightfully crushed and died almost immediately. The coroner was summoned and began an investigation and took charge of his effects, which con- sisted principally of a gold watch and some $70 in money. From a letter found in Haslettai satchel it appears that he was a druggist, and had come to Detroit to nego- tiate for the purchase of a drug store. A letter was also found, evidently from a lady friend in. Three Biveis, dated May 2nd and signed " Hattie." In it she urges him to beware of his failing, hopes for the best, but fears the worst, saying, 1 d But if you do as I think you will do, then God help you." The dead man was about 85 years of age, with dark brown hair and short side whiskers, and presented the appearance of a thorough business man. He had been drinking heavily for the past few days. Outrage on a Clergyman, A Paris, Ont., despatch says : On Satur- day morning about 3 o'clock some mis- creants desirous of venting their spleen on Rev. Mr. Koyle, Methodist minister, attacked his residence, the parsonage ad- joining the church, by throwing stones and smashing two largo panes of glass over the front entrance. On hearing the crash Mr. Koyle got up, but the,sperpetraters had fled and disappeared in the darkness, Mr. Koyle had been in Brantford yesterday watching the proceedings in certain Scott Act trials, the violators having been fined some $50 each. He puts this and that" tegether. The perpetrators of the 01.16r/bp have not been positively, ascertained, but sufficient is known, it iS believed, to put a detective on the track, and every effort will be made to bring the offenders to justice.

YaLlapPlaa PlitailaPlasualLEat Murders. nal Two Little altattsaselttafiretn, Themllurles Pe Beek Yard and Cenfesses Crinte• A last (Tuesday) night's Beading, Pa., despatch pays: Win. Showers, a cigar, ;raker; aged 59 years, was arrested at Allu- via Lebanon County, at midnight, charged. With murdering his two grandchildren, Willie and Sosteatel, aged 3 and 5 years. The children were the illegitimateeffsPring of Showetia deceased daughter. Two weeks ago lie drove into the mountains with the children and returned without them, Npthing had been heard of them since, and, as Showers told many conflicting stories regatding their absence, the District Attor- ney ordered his arrest, Search was made for the children, and resulted in finding their bodies buried in Showers' yard with ropes around their necks. Showers claims to have taken the children from their home to deliver them to a man at. Tower City, who was to adopt them, and that while on the way he missed his road and put the little ones out of the carriage while he went to water his horse a quarter of a mile away, and that while gone the children disappeared in company with two strangers. He denies all knowledge of the bodies being in the yard. Showers was engaged to marry a lady, but her one con- dition was that the children should be first got rid of by placing them in charge of some other person. Failing in this it is believed he resorted to murder. Showers has confessed the crime of mur- dering the boys. There is great excite- ment in the vicinity of Showers, and threatssof lynching are freely made. When found the bodies of the boys were nude except their night shirts, showing that they had been taken from bed and mur- dered in cold blood. They had been strangled with ropes bound around their necks, and their skulls had been crushed in with a club. Their bodies were badly decomposed. A PRISON ROMANCE. A Hardened criminal Reformed by the Wife. lie Married in Rio Cell. A Wilmington, Del., despatch says : Charles Blake, a once hard criminal, was released from Newcastle jail to-day, after finishing a three years' sentence for bur- glary. When he began his term of im- prisonment he was required to stand in the pillory an hour, and was to have received thirty. lashes ; but, through the pleading of Blake's sister, Governor Stock- ley remitted the lashing. He escaped from jail three times while serving his sentence, but was as often recaptured. A glamor of romance surrounded Blake during his entire term at Newcastle. Women ad- mirers kept him supplied with flowers, fruits and dainty trappings for his cell ; and in September, 1884, Sheriff Martin permitted him to be married to the woman of his choice. The bride was Miss Gussie Turner, of Philadelphia, and the wedding took place in his cell. She has since been very assiduous in her attentions to him, and was at the jail when he was released, so they left Newcastle together. Blake recently signed a pledge to abstain from all intoxicating liquors, and declared to the Sheriff and others at the jail his intention of leading a respectable life. It will not be the fault of his devoted wife if he fails to adhere to this laudable determination. KILLED BY A SPIDER. Death of an Infant in New York After Twenty-Four Hours' Agony. A New York despatch says : Fritz Kibitz, 1 year and 8 months old, was play- ing about the floor of his home at 650 Fifth street, about 4 o'clock on Saturday after- noon, when suddenly he began screaming. His mother ran to him and saw a big spider on his left hand. The little fellow held the hand up and acted as though he was in great pain. Mrs. Kibitz killed the spider, and observing a small red mark on the child's hand, concluded that the spider had bitten it. She applied some lotion, but the child still continued its cries. A few hours later a small red lump appeared on the hand, which kept spreading until the swelling extended to the arm. A.physician was called in, and measures were taken to stop the spread of the poison. His effects were unsuccessful, and. on Sunday tale child's arm almost to the shoulder was badly swollen. The little fellow suffered great agony, and cried incessantly until Sunday night, when he died. The spider was described as having a small drab body. Late Scottish News. Mr. William Watson, late Sheriff-Substi- tute of Aberdeenshire, the pioneer of the movement which resulted in the introduc- tion of industrial schools into Scotland, died in Edinburgh on the 12th of May. A committee of gentlemen has been ap- pointed to receive competitive designs for a statue of Burns for Ayr. Sir John Mc- Dowell, Athens, has generously offered a block of marble for the pedestal of the statue. Mrs. Andrew Carnegie, New York, has, through Dr. Charles Rogers, of Edinburgh, requested to be allowed the privilege of contributing a bust of Sir Walter Scott to the Statuary Hall of the National Wallace Monument. Mr. Themes Stevenson, C.E., son of the builder of the Bell Rock Lighthouse and father of the distinguished essayist and story-teller, Mr. Louis Stevenson, died on the 8th of May at his residence in Heriot row, Edinburgh, in his 69th year. The Original Bagged School, founded by the late Dr. Guthrie in 1847, was on the 6th of May removed from Ramsay lane, Castle hill, Edinburgh, to new and corn- Modione premises at Liberton,which have been erected at a cost of abo£10,000. Rev. Dr. Story has resigned his charge as minister of the parish 61 Rosenetith. Dr.' Story was recently appointed Professor of Ecclesiastical History in the Glasgow University, and in consequence he has been obliged'to sever his long connection with that'parish. Three Mies strolling in the woods near Mendocino, Cal., found a doer, and their dogs caught it' aid held it until they cut its throat.

Speakiag . of the importance of measures for increasing the national food supply of the Northwest in view of the extinction of the buffalo, he said the principal points to which attention !could be drawn were the fishproduct, wild rice and the cultivation of the rabbit. A petition to the Dominion Government praying for certain amendments to the Lands Act has been drafted by a commit- tee appointed at a publig meeting held in Regina, and will be forwarded to Ottawa. In reply to a request from the Council of Whitewater, Man., for the extension of the Manitoba Southwestern.Railway, Mr. Van Home stated that the Canadian Pacific Railway Company had no money to expend on branches in Manitoba. An immense mass meeting was held yes- terday in Winnipeg to discuss the railway situation, all parts of the Province of Mani- toba being represented. The proposed rail- way to the boundary was enthusiastically endorsed, and resolutions condemning the disallowance policy and Sir Geo. Stephen's recent telegram and urging the immediate construction of the road were adopted. Ground has been broken at Grand Forks, Dak., for the Northern Pacific extension to the boundary, to connect with the Mani- toba line. The first train on the C. P. It:readied Vancouver, B. C., on Monday last, the engineer on the occasion being Mr. P. Wright, and the conductor Mr. Bernhardt. On a shield on one side of the engine was a banner with the inscription, " Our National. Highway," and on the other, " From Ocean to Ocean." The whole train was draped with bunting and ban- ners. The town had been tastefully decorated for the occasion with arches, evergreens, etc. Reports haws been received at Regina that the Blood Indians have stolen forty horses from the Gros Ventres, south of the line, and serious results are feared. Lieut.- Governor Dewdney, with a detachment of Mounted Police, has left fox MaeLeod, to endeavor to pacify the Gros Ventres. Mr. W. L. Boyle, the well-known banker, was dined by the Manitoba Club prior to his departure for New York, where he is going into business. Twenty-seven miles of the extension of the Northern Pacific Railway from Grand Forks, Dak., to the boundary have been graded. The company will reach Pembina November next. Mr. Scarth's supporters are greatly in- dignant at the action of that gentleman in maintaining silence during the discussion in the House of Commons on Mr. Watson's disallowance resolution. Some of them say he will be asked to resign, and if he does not do it they themselves wilagive evidence against him in the eleetiont trjal with a view to displacing him. The Local Government has formulated a scheme for granting a bonus to cheese fac- tories, with a view to encouraging their maintenance in this Province. Samuel Poole, formerly a London, Ont., farmer, has been murdered at Montreal colony, thirty miles north of Whitewood. He was missed last Sunday, and a party which set out on Monday in search found him about one hundred yards from his house, tied by his neck to it, tree, face down, and his head smashed and face, badly disfigured. There is no trace of the mur- derers. A Qu'Appelle despatch says : At 8 o'clock this morning news was received here that H. adeLeish, a settleta who left yesterday in pursuit of half-breeds who stole his horse, had been shot last night near Wolseley. The murderer is a half-breed named Raisett. An indignation meeting of citizens was held, and a party of twelve horsemen and three teams leave by special train for the scene of the murder. The expenses were subscribed by citizens. An interview was held by LieritaGover. nor Dcwdney with the Bloods on Saturday at Fort McLeod.' Red Crow and about one hundred Indians attended. Red Crow said he had lost over forty horses by Gros Ventres lately. Mr. Dewdney took advan- tage of this to say that stealing mutt be stopped. Red Crow said when the Indians wore arrested the young men decided to come to McLeod and make a declaration to steal no more. After the loss of the Bloods' horses, however, they became unsettled and did not come, but deter- mined to go south and get even with the Gros Ventres. It was settled at the inter- view that they should not go, but that a joint attempt will be made by the Indian Department and the police to got back the horses and arrange an understanding with the Gros Ventres to prevent further raids on both sides. The United States Govern- ment intends to remove the Gros Ventres from the Milk river country, thus reducing the danger of collision with the Canadian Bloods. A petition has been' prepared and will probably be put in cam:dation among Mr. Searth's' supporters at the late election calling upon him to resign his seat at Ottawa because of his silence on Mr. Wat- son's anti.disallowance resolution. A majority of the City. Council has clecidcd to consider, an application to the Legislature to make Mayors elective by the- Council. Intelligence has been receiVed of the whereabouts of Joe Fent, who recently attempted to kill Chief of Police McRae, and his pursuit has commenced. A mass meeting of the Knights of Labot was held to-night, and resolutions in oppo- sition to railroad monopoly Passed, ":Lone Men," convicted of shooting Oar. poral Joasieta, has been lodged in Manitoba Penitentiary.

COLLAPSE OF A BUILDING.

Several men were sitting on the windows when the etructure began to phrase. One called out from the third story, " The thing is coming down I" but as the vibration ceased the men supposed the cause of the shaking to be telegraph men walking over the roof. The men hastened to the front of the build. ing; and found the wreck here more °Sim- plot° than in the rear, the whole force seeming to have concentrated over the offices, pulling the wall inwards. The police patrol and the firemen quickly ap. peared and began the work of digging for those buried under the ruins, though the banging walls threatened another crash. The men that made, their escape are sure there were several clerks and employees in the offices. The building was very old, being amongthe few ancient structures still standing in this city. It has not been occupied until recently. One man, named. August Steffins, a painter, was taken from the debris at 1.30 p.m. He was badly crushed, but is still living. He says all the men in the front part of the building escaped. He was pinned down by a plank, which kept the mass of the debris off him. The search for more victims is progressing. EGYPT'S FUTURF, The Terms Under Which England Pro- poses to Evacuate the Country. A London cable says : The Anglo-Turk- ish convention relative to Egypt provides for the maintenance of all existing firmans and the neutralization of the Suez Canal, and guarantee internationally the inviola- bility of Egypt, It also provides that the British shall withdraw from Egypt in three years unless the country is threatened with danger either internal or external. England shall, after the withdrawal of her troops, supervise the whole Egyptian army for further two years, with the right to re- occupy, with or without the aid of Turkish troops, if order is disturbed or an invasion is feared. Certain branches of the Egyp- tian administration will be specially settled without fresh discussion. All the powers, except Russia, co-operate with England to expedite a settlement, and England made every possible concession to arrive at an understanding with Turkey. The con- tingency of eventual military movements by way of the Suez Canal will form a sub- ject for future discussion. The convention is received with favor in all quarters at Constantinople. A St. Petersburg cable says : The Roves Vremyia says the convention places Egypt under the perpetual tutelage of England. France and Russia, this paper says, are ex- pected to protest that the Porte has no right to dispose of the future destinies of Egypt, inasmuch as Turkey has no pro- prietary right in Egypt, but merely the right of usufruct. Running an Engine Through Bui3h Fires. "It would be no surprise to me," said a locomotive engineer at the Northwestern depot yesterday afternoon, "if the forest fires now raging in Wisconsin and Michgan would burn everything up for miles around. In all the years I have driven an engine in the Northwest I never yet have seen the country so dry. It is seldom that one sees the sides of the track burned over at this time of the year, yet there is scarcely a hundred feet of turf along the rails from Milwaukee to Chicago that is not scorched. In many places the fenceshavebeen burned and beautiful lawns ruined. I saw an engineer on the Wisconsin Central in Mil- waukee yesterday, and he told me that he had run through a mile of flames on his last trip. The heat was so intense that his signals were destroyed, and the paint on his engine blistered in a hundred places. The windows in the cab were cracked, and the smoke was so dense that ithe engineer and his fireman wee compelled to tie handkerchiefs over their mouth and wear goggles. If the people up North don't have rain within forty-eight hours I predict that the loss will be incalculable and the suffer- ing widespread and terrible."—Chicago Herald. A Boston Man and a Detroit Girl. It was on a west-bound train. A Boston young gentleman had struck up a conversa- tional acquaintance with a Detroit young lady. " Do you like Smollett ?" " I—I guess I've never seen him. Who's he with ?" The Boston young man started, but fear- ing that he had been misunderstood, he heeded not the query. " You are surely fond of Fielding ?" he continued. " Oh, yes, it will do," replied the Detroit girl, " but slugging is what I like, and you just wait till our big, four get after your bean-eaters—they'll make 'em think its raining baseballs out in the back end of your park."—Chicago Herald. Cominunity of the Precious Blood. A Montreal despatch says : There have been added to the nunnery attached to St. Patrick's Church eight sisters of the Com- munity of the Precious Blood. Those nuns rise in the morning at 5 o'clock and retire at 9 p.m. According to the regulations governing the community they are obliged to sleep on bare boards. At midnight a bell is rung, when they rise avid pray for an hour. Another rule is they, fast on every Friday. During the day the sisters alter- nately prostrate themselves before the Blessed Sacrament The sisters never leave the monastery, on any occasion, but spend their lives in contemplation and prayer.

Patrolman Warren, of the 3rd precinct, was standing on the corner of Temple and Cambridge streets about 2.80 o'clock yester- day morning when he saw a white object moving through Lynde street towards Cam- bridge street. At first he supposed it was a spirit of some west ender. However, he waited until the object reached the corner, when he saw that in was a woman with only a night dress on and with her hair hanging loosely about her shoulders. He then surmised that it was some insane per- son. He had taken but a few steps when the woman started down Cambridge street at a rapid pace. He pursued her but could not overtake hdt until she had run as far as the corner of Chambers and Allen streets. He then saw that she was asleep. He took her to the station. Lieut. Gaskin, who was on duty, was looking to see if she was still asleep when she placed her arms around his neck and laid her head on his manly breast. The lieutenant tried in vain to break her hold and he ordered Dr. Cilley to be called. The woman remained asleep until the physican reached the sta- tion and then opened her eyes. After look- ing at the lieutenant a second, or two she exclaimed : " My God l Where' am I ?" The lieutenant told her not to be alarmed, as she was in the bands of friends. A quilt was wrapped around her and Officer Warren took her to her home in Lynde street. She refused to give her name. The officers of that district say that she is subject to som- nambulism and has on several occasions been found walking in sleep on the street. —Boston Globe. A. Wise Young Wife. There," said the young wife, turning from the mirror to her husband and giving him a sweet smile, " what do you think of these bangs ? Do they become me ?" Charles, who was at that moment en- grossed in the task of reckoningupthetotal cost of bonnets, bangs, dresses, etc., answered with a clouded brow : " I should think you would be ashamed to ask such a question, Mary. Your vanity is becoming absolutely insufferable." Charles," she said, in a tremulous voice, " if I am vain it is for you. You would not love me if I was a slattern and a dowdy. It is for your sake that I try to' make myself as attractive as possible." Having said this she burst into tears. Then Charles arose and gathered her in his arms, and kissed her fondly, and said': " Your bangs are lovely, dear, and you are lovely, and if all wives were as neat and desirous of attracting the admiration of their husbands as you are, there would be a groat deal more conjugal happiness in the world than there is at present.
