THURSDAY, APRIL 4th, 1895 UNEMPLOYED LABOR, In every country, more'iCspecially in the larger cities, there will always be a certain percentage of unemployed la- bor, This is owing partly to an over- crowded population from emigrants and otherwise, and partly from waifs who do not care to work so long as they can obtain the means of subsistence by fair cleans or foul. It becomes a question with municipal corporations how best to utilize unemployed labor, so as to help the deserving poor and save the community from vagrancy and crime. In England the Salvation Army lead- ers have initiated a good movement for giving employment to those who are willing to work at reasonable wag- es, by purchasing a large tract of farm land ou which cottages are built and provision made for farming on a small scale, as well as other necessary occu- pations. Iu New York city, we ob- serve that a plan has been started for the cultivation of vacant lots by the unemployed pour of the city. The movement is in the hands of a chari- table association dition of th cured so Long to b 1 proving the con- oor who have se - acres of land on n the Hudson river uarter or half acre by licants who ommended, to the support Seed potatoes supplied free, for working; under the super ctical farmer. Pro - for paying wages to the from 50 to 75 cents per until they are in a position to real the profits of cultivating their al- oted quarter or a half acre. Some- thing of this nature might be done with advantage by nearly every mun- icipality, which would yield a better return than the investment of capital for poor houses and other similar insti tutions. It would tend to inculcate habits of industry and sobriety, and lessen the calendar of crimes and mis- demeanors. CABINET CHANGES. Chattelle FD THE IIATCIIFT To Be Hanged on Ma the Murder of Jessie Keith eater and the Minister of eir Dilitercnces, Stratford, March 29. -The trial of Amede Ohattelle for the murder of Jes see Keith near Listowel on Oetober 19th last took place here yesterday before Chief Justice Armour. A, large crowd gathered about the court house to gain at least a glimpse of the prisoner en route from the jail, while the court room had all its available spat, e occu- pied. In appearance Chattelle had not materially changed since his arrest ex- cept that he was somewhat less swarthy. He paid close attention to the proeeed• ings but showed no sign of being af- fected by the awful position in which he was placed. On being arraigned the prisoner pleaded not guilty. Mr. John Idinb'ton, of Stratford, Coun• ty Attorney, acted for the Crown, and the prisoner conducted his own de fence. Mr, H. M. East, of Toronto, heti been retained by some of Chattelle's relatives, but after an interview with the prisoner he withdrew, Chattelle de- clining his assistance. The evidence for the Crown was largely the same as that given at the inquest and preliminary examinations at Listowel and formed a strong web of circumstantial evidence arouud the accused. Chattelle occasionally ques- tioned the witnesses, but oftener than not the replies told against him Shortly before four o'clock the evid- ence was all in and Chattelle, being asked if he had anything to say, made some incoherent remarks, but offered no defence. The judge's charge oc cupied about half au hour and was im partial, At half -past four the jury retic d and about ten minutes later returned with a verdict of "Guilty" On being asked if he had anything to say the prisoner said "Nothing" and then the judge. briefly pronounced sentence to the effect that Chattelle be hanged on May 3tst. CHATTELLE FEIGNED INSANITY. Mr. J. M. Dunsmore jail surgeon, is of the decided opinion from observa- tion made since Chattelle was ledged here, that his actions in court were on feigned insanity. That was the first. occasion on which he had given any indication of his being mentally unbalanced, and yesterday he behaved quite rational as he has since his con- finement. Dr. Dunsmore is also of the Opinion that Chattelle is devoid of alt natural affection and feels no remorse for his crime, and that his moral sensi- bilities have become so blunted than it may be said he has no morals, but is a human monstrosity. Last week witnessed one or - two changes inthe Cabinet at Ottawa, caus- ed by the retirement on account of ill - health of the Hon. J. C. Patterson, Min- ister of Militia. It seems that Mr. Pat- terson expressed a wish sometime ago to be relieved of the duties of office, but through the late Sir John Thompson's earnest wish, the Minister of Militia was induced to continue in office. It is not true that Mr Patterson was not in accord with the Government Policy, and the fact that he is to continue a mem- ber of Cabinet without Portfolio is ample proof of the confidence reposed on him by his colleagues. The Hon. A. R. Dickey, of Cumberland, is to be Minis- ter of Militia; and the Hon. Dr. Mon- tague, of Haldimand, has been gazetted Secretary of state, in succession to Mr. Dickey. This is an honor worthily be- stowed on Dr. 4lontague,who is a young man and succeeds a long line of able men -such as the late Governor Elowe, and the present Lt. Governor Chapleau, of Quebec. Dr. Montage was one of Sir John Macdonald's tried and trusted supporters, and was held in high esteem by the late Premier. It speaks well for a self-made man that the Dr, has been selected at such an early age to fill as important Departmental office for the Dotninion. There is some tall: in political circles of the present Lieut Governor of Ontario entering the Cabinet, iu which case it is expected that the Hon. J. 0. Patterson will succeed Governor Kirkpatrick, or Governor Schultz, of Wihnipe;, when their term expires. Quite a "tempest in a teapot" has been raised over the rumor that there was a split in the Cab - tier, and that Sir Chas. H. '['upper had t.rudered his rtsiguation as Minisiter of Justice, owing to his holding the view that the Government should have dis- s'leed Parliament and gone to the counts, instead of calling a session' O course the Refortn journals were jubilant over the idea that the Goverment was falling to pieces, It now s :t:rn, pr tbable that the wheels at Ottawa wt 1 move smoothly, and that the public business will be hurried thro•igh 80 as 10 pass the supply hill, and that a short session will alm et im- modtet,ely th-:meter be f' lowed by an appeal to the electorate of Canada. - Lncan: J R.

British Grain Trade. London, April 1st -Tho Mark Lane Express, in its weekly.r-eviewof the, British grain trade says: -English and foreign wheats have been main- tained, except California, which is weaker at 23b 9d, arrived; 24s 3d prompt shipment. Barleys have had a 3d rise; oats and corn have been steady Today English and foreign wheats are a slow sale. Flours are in fair request. Barley and oats firm and cora 3d cheaper. -. Winchelsea School Rport. TH Sensation the Legt The Op the S Sehoo Winnipeg, Marc + ent was offered yesterday a . i to the motion of the Government for adjourn- ment of the House to consider the school question, and the Legislature accordingly adjourned to May 9, when sensational de- velopments aro expected. In the inean- time it is proposed to hold meetings got the feeling of the farmers on' question. ' A Cabinot Minister in an intorvio denied the statement that tho supports of the Government wore divided as to th lino of action to be adopted in respect to the remedial order. They were united for National schools, When the House resumes it will bo for the purpose of discussing the remedial order and drafting a reply. It is under- stood the policy of the Opposition will be to declare for the secularization of all schools when the Legislature meets. A member of the Cabinet was asked what the object of the Government was in moving for an adjournment. His re- ply was that the remedial order on schools was too important a matter, involving as •11 does great vital issnas, to be dealt with precipitately by the House. SURRENDER Litter to be Left an Only the Estimates matted to Y urlla- t-AuEarly Appeal to the Country. Ottawa, March 30. -The political crisis is over.

Sir Charles was at his office in the Do- partment of Justice yesterday, and was scow in conversation with several Cabinot Ministers, with whom he appeared on the best 4f terms. The, next crisis will arise when the Gov- ernment submits its policy to Parliament and asks a favorable verdict upon it. This will give Hon. Clarke Wallace an oppor- tunity to declare himself concerning the late crisis. Rumor has it that an agreement was reached through the mediation of Sir Donald Smith and Senator Drummond. JAPAN AND CHINA. Temporary Armistice Without Conditions , Ordered by the Emperor of ,Taped. Washington, March 30. -The following telegram VEas received yesterday at the Japanese Legation by the Japanese offic- ials: "On the opening of the negotiations the Chinese plenipotentiary .proposed an armistice, which the Japanese Govern - anent were willing to accept on certain conditions. While this negotiation was going oh the untoward event happened on the person of the Chinese plenipoten- tiary. His Majesty the Emperor, having in view this unhappy occurrence, com- manded the Japanese plenipotentiaries to consent to temporary armistice without conditions. This was communicated to the Chinese plenipotentiary." Minister Kurino says that the effect of the Emperor's order will be the imme- diete cessation of aggressive hostilities, and that the Japanese armies will. -make no further advance as long as the armis- tice lasts. The minister is of the opinion that the action of the Emperor was in- fluenced by the confidence His Majesty re- posed in the successful conclusion of the peace negotiations,and the ultimate accep- tance' by Li Hung Chang of the terms sti- pulated by Japan. The Emperor's com mand of -temporary armistice is also a re-, fetation of the idea that Japan is dispos-, ed to humiliate Chin., or merely to ac- quire territory. Japan has gained. the end ,of demonstrating Japanese irnt'oxttance in, Eastern affairs. h Chinese Minister, was rYute s When M . l the the news oft e armistice between Japan and , China he said it was '.the:first' inforrn'ation he had received on the sub- ject, as he had not yet been notifled by his Government of the matter: He was very thankful .for the .news. St. Petersburg, March 30. -News has been received from an authoritative source that the Emperor of Japan, who is ex- tremely indignant on account of the at- tack upon Li Hung Chang, has ordered a temporary suspension of hostilities.

John Hamilton Found on the Railway Track in a Dying Condition. Fletcher, April 1. -As the mail train was approaching Buxton Saturday night the engineer noticed the body of a man lying near the track. The body was taken on board and brought to this village. Dr. S. N. Young was summoned and Dr. Smith, of St. Thomas, sent for. The doctors found on examination that both legs were nearly cut off above the knees and the patient in a very critical condi- tion and sinking gradually. He died at 11.15 p.m.. Before death he was conscious for a few minutes, and gave Dr. Young the address of a sister in Detroit. The friends were at once communicated with. and arrived here on Sunday morning's train, and claimed the body as that of John Hamil- ton. Coroner J. L. Bray, of Chatham, was notified, and after hearing the facts he deemed an inquest unnecessary and handed the body over to the relatives, who took it to Detroit last night on the 10.30 train, thence to Toronto, where two brothers and a sister of deceased live, for burial.
