POLITICAL 'TOTES, In the United States during the past year the depression in trade has had a marked effect on immigration. Only 314,467 European immigrauts are re- ported, as against 789,000 and 670,000 a few years ago. The cumber of steer- age passengers who left the country for Europe was 312,771, making a net gain in population from abroad of only 16JOO, It is, however, a matter of sat- sfaetion that the flow of population frrom Europe has subsided for there are already within the borders of the coun- try nearly 10,000,000 foreign bora per- sons, or about one-sixth of the total pop- ulation. In considering the matter, ;he New York Sun very sensibly says: —"It is of importance that the ten mil. Bons of Europeans already here should be well assimilated with the American community before we get ten millions more of them, There ought to be a good measure of homogeneity among the elements of the community. Some of the foreign element now among us are pertinacious in their resistance to assimilation. They remain aliens in spirit and in speech, even after they have gone through the process known as naturalization. The manifestations of this alienation from American life. are far too obvious at times, even in politics." Signs of the reviyal of trade are to Ise found in evary direction, and in England, in the United States, and in eauada it is evident that great busi- iiess activity is likely to characterize "Cm coming summer. 13y the Liberal Fess of Canada the depression in busi- ness has been declared to be the re- sult of the continued operation of the National Policy, and the revival is no• tired with a certain degree of reluc tance, and is said to have come in spite of that policy. It is therefore re- freshing to find a Liberal paper that discusses the revival without referring to the fiscal laws by which the country is governed. The St. John, N: B, Tel- egraph is such a paper, and in eonsid- Bring the prospects in that province says:—"The staple article of New Brunswick is spruce lumber, and we are glad to see that the price of this has advanced, and promises to advance still further. If the demand for our lumber is good ou both sides of the At- lantic the coming summer ought to be a period of good business. We can now send lumber to the United States with cut the payment of any duty, and this Ts not confined to rough lumber, but includes lumber partially manufac 'cured or planed lumber. When the time for a general election arrives the Liberal orators are likely to find some difficulty in getting suitable figures to quote in their declamations against the trade policy.—Mail-Empire. Sahford: After a long illness, borne with utmost patience and resignation, Miss Maggie Beck, daughter of the late Andrew Seek, died on Friday Last, at the residence of her uncle, Joseph Beck Seaforth: Some miscreants, possessed -with a spirit of wickedness which sur- passes understanding, deliberately plat ad a bottle containing dynamite near the front door of the board of trade build• ing on Thursday morning. The inten- tion of the miscreants was to do griev- ous bodily harm to the popular man- ager of the building when he entered upon his morning duties; The bottle containing the dynamite was so placed as to upset when the door was opened against it which no doubt would have caused the death of the manager and The destruction of that imposing edifice. Fortunately the manager's assistant name to the office early in the morning and entered by the back door and dis- eovered the explosive before damage was done. The dynamite is now in pllie hands of the police who are working 'Ilion the case.

He had just about finish- ed, and while working at the ridge board, turned around for a shingle, when he lost his balance, and fell back- ward over the gable, falling a distance of over 30 feet, to the ground. He was at once taken to the house and medical aid summoned, It was found that ids ankle was broken and . he was so badly injured in the back that it was Geared his backwas broken, though it has turned out since that this is not the case. Nearly all his teeth were 4C,nsened, and he was pretty badly shaken up. The wonder is that he was not instantly killed, His lower Tfrrrb was paralyzed, but the doctors have hopes of his recovery, though it will be a good while before ho gets the i lade , .r°t n Before h � t d B o he 'eft tow. wort, he was cautioned to be careful or he would fall off, btlt he jokingly re plied that "he was not afraid, a$ he had beexi there before."

Montreal, April 30.—A Star cable from London says: The annual meeting of the Grand Trunk Railway Company, of Can- ada, which will be held to -day, is being awaited with the keenest interest. The committee of the dissatisfied shareholders who are attempting to oust Sir Henry, Tyler from the presidency of the company have every confidence that they will bo successful in defeating him and placing Sir Charles Rivers -Wilson at the head of affairs. Tho committee now claims to have proxies representing stock to the amount of £20,000,000. This is £7,000,000 more than was claimed a week ago. They also claim to have a command of 620,000 votes. It is pointed out that at the half - yearly meeting in October last the board commanded only 186,681 votes, The city critics, however, say that Sir Charles Rivers -Wilson is only a financial expert and that he would require the head of an authority high up in railway work to manage the road in ease he Is successful in displacing Sir Henry Tyler. The Scottish papers admit that as Hon. Mr. Angers' exhaustive report has failed to induce the Right Hon, Herbert Gard- ner, President of the British Board of Agriculture, to release the embargo on Canadian cattle, the agitation in Scotland against the embargo is collapsing on all hands.

This action it is said is to protect Ameri- can interests, in case of threatened revolu- tionary movements in Nicaragua. It is understood Great Britain has intimated through Ambassador Bayard a willing- ness to grant an extension of time to Nic- aragua to pay the indemnity and will withdraw hor • land forces from Corinto ou satisfactory assurances being given of payment within a specified time. The Alert is at Panama and , it will take her about a day and a half to reach San ,Tuan del Sur, i z, which is the cable station near- est to Corinto, situated about 100 miles below that point.

Coudert, whose work on the Behring Sea arbitration commission demonstrated his profound knowledge 'of international law, declared yesterday that the Administra- tion night as well got out of business if it had not exacted from the British Gov- ernment a pledge that the occupation of Corinto would be only temporary. "Undoubtedly the State Department has received from Great Britain's repre- sentatives a satisfactory assurance in this regard," said Mr Coudert, "I judge this to be the case from my personal acquaint- ance with the three gentlemen who are dictating our Government's policy. An administration that would not enforce the principle of the non -occupation by foreigners of American territory might as well make its last testament and call in an undertaker. "The British are going down there to collect a claim which has never been ad.- judieatocl by any other power than them- selves, which rather shocks a law-abiding citizen. They are at once the plaintiff, the judges and the executioners. "I understand that Nicaragua was willing enough to arbitrate. If the affair had been that of the United States, Ger- many or France, it would have been arbi- trated. But little Nicaragua was not important enough to get up an arbitra- tion with and they have throttled her. "Now, if the Nicaraguans had been scared into submissicn, paid over the $75,- 000, and Admiral Stephenson had gone back with the money, we would have had nothing to say. But if they are going to blow up the towns on our continent, if they are going to take territory, there and appropriate it, you will have a hor- nets' nest somewhere before long. "Our sympathies would naturally go with the weak side and particularly with the American side. In an age when we are trying to settle all international ques- tions by arbitration, to see them setting the British lion to roaring and foaming at the mouth and lashing his tail is dis- couraging. "You cannot tell What these Spaniards will do. No matter how degenerate they may be politically, they are all brave when their patriotism is touched. If they should resist and a few men should be killed on both sides it would be like opening the bag in which Neptune kept the winds." Fifteen Day's Grace. London, April 80.—A Managua despatch says: "At a late hour last evening Presi- dent Zelaya received a telegram from Washington stating that Great Britain would withdraw her ships from Corinto and give Nicaragua fifteen days in which to pay the $75,000 smart money if such a proposition would be accepted by the Nicaraguans. Tho despatch also states that so far as the remaining conditions in the ultimatum were concerned they would be so modified as to meet the ob- jections of Nicaragua. It is understood that these positions are the result of the efforts of the 'United States to bring about a settlement of the pending difficulty in a manner alike honorable to both coun- tries. Upon the receipt of the despatch President Zelaya at once held an audience with his principal advisers and a reply will. Probably be made within a few hours. President Zelaya, it is believed, will be disposed to accept the terms outlined in the despatch. It will, however, require careful consideration, owing to the in- tense hostility which exists against the British Government and the willingness on the part of some of the people to con- tinuo the struggle indefinitely." Orangemen Mean Business. St, John, N.B., April 80.—Orange Grana Master Kelly stated yesterday that in case the Governinent passed remedial legislation the Orangemen would put up candidates in every constituency. In St. John, he says, Dr. Stockton and Mayor Armstrong, at present military store- keeper, will be the Orange candidates; in Albert, H. A. McKeown of this city will run. In Nova Scotia be says the same thing willbo done and Grand Mas- ter. Gass will oppose Sir C. H. Tupper. Printed pledges are now being circulated and signed promising to support no can- didate who favors remedial legislation. Mr. Kelly says the Orangemen mean busie ness and to be consistent, ` and they can do nothing else. For Emily Hall's Death, Detroit, Mich.,April 80.—Mrs.• Alice Lane, the proprietress of the lying-in hospital, and Dr. D. J. Seaman, were arraigned in police court yesterday, charged with manslaughter in having caused the death of. Emily Hall by the we of drugs and instruments. Neither defend- ant would pinaci. Their examination was sot for May 11 and bail was fixed at $5,000 in each case. Two Men Cremated. ttawa, April 80.—Hon. Mr. Foster laid the estimates on the table yester- day, as predicted. There has been over $2,000,.000 of a decrease in the esti- mated expenditure. Superan.nuatious have boon cut over $250,000; public works have been cut 8875,325; salaries of mount- ed police out over $150,000. The amount to bo expended upon railways and canals will bo $807,00 less this year than last. Tho estimates for public works in On- tario are out over $100,000 this year. Arnprior gots a new post office 87,500; Piotou a post office $10,000; Smiths Falls post office $1,800; Stratford $2,580 to re- pair public buildings damaged by fire. There will be $10,000 expended on the Kingston penitentiary.

Ono item against which tho Ontario members are protest- ing is $125,000 paid annually towards the defences of Esquimalt, B. C. The C. P. R. gots 886,220 for construction and the Intercolonial $,360,000. Hugh Ryan will get $150,000znore for the Sault canal, while but $8,700 will be spent ou the Welland canal. There is to be an increase of $145,000 under :the head of legislation. This is said to be for election expenses. The amount asked for immigration is $72,438 less than last year. There is a decrease of $260,000 under the head of militia, to be taken from salaries, provisions, stores, remounts and ammunition. The Govern- ment intend paying $3,800 for telephones alone in the Parliament buildings. Port Dalhousie gets $14,000 to construct a new pier. The mail subsidy to the South American Steamship line has been re, clamed $25,000, or one-half. Hon. David Mills made a severe attack upon the Government system of taking the census. He alleged that mon who sharpened saws and did other trifling jobs wore classed as manufacturers. Num- bers were in this way swelled and then it was claimed that the National Policy was to bo credited. Mr. Edgar moved for a return showing the items on which the duty had been increased since 1878; also the amount of duties which have been paid in to the Government by reason of increases. Hon. Mr. Foster objected to the last clause. Hon. Mr. Laurier showed that a Con- servative had moved the rano motion last week, only reversed, showing the total amount of duty remitted since 1878. This was done for party purposes, he claimed, but the Government refused to allow the other side of the question to be shown. There would bea deficit this year of six millions, but the people want- ed full information. The clause was struck out notwith- standing the protest. Mr. McMillan asked for all papers con- nected with Canadian cattle going through the United States to Europe during tho winter. He said the Government had failed to secure these privileges for Can- adian farmers' last winter. The Grand Trunk railway had done so. If the rail- way could do more for the people than the Govornment'then it was time for a change. Hon. Mr. Ives said no contract had been signed for the rapid trans-Atiantio postal service. Hon. Mr. Haggart said it would take $6,000,000 more to complete the improve- ments now in course of construction on Canadian canals. The Government did not intend to deepen the canals. Mr. McMullen has given notice of a bill to reduce the salaries of the Lieut. - Governors of Ontario and Quebec from $10,000 to $6,000 and all others to $5,000 except_P. E. Island, which is to be but $4,000. D.J.

Brantford, April 80.—On Sunday Val- entine Roth, aged 72, committed suicide by hanging himself in a woodshed at the back of his residence. Standing on a keg he passed a clothes line through the rafters above, and making a slip knot, passed it over his head and then, kicking the keg away, he was left suspended. Death probably resulted very quickly afterwards. A razor was found on the ground a few feet from where he was hanging.

He loaves a family of six sons and one slaughter, all grown up. George Hammond May Die.

He had a heavy load of wood on the wagon and was sitting on the front end of the Pile. ) he horse was not going fast enough, and he applied the whip. Tho animal started forward with a jerk.

The dorso kicked the pros, trate man and the wheels of the wagon. also passed over his body, inflicting very eerious injuries, from which ho may die. Hammond was to have been married shortly.

Seaforth: One morning recently be- tween the hours of one and two, Chief Gillespie espied a suspicious looking character prowling around the prem- ises of Mr. Glass, North Main street. After peering through the front win- dow be strolled around -to the rear of the house to try and effect an entrance, when our worthy Chief took after him, On Main street Chief Gillespie come across Mr. John Bell who assisted him in the pursuit. The fugitive was close- ly followed around several thorough- fares when he was finally lost sight of in the woodyard adjoining the Red Mill. Mr. and Mrs. Glass are an aged couple living alone. The following day Chief Gillespie called on them when he learned that a large sum of money was deposited in the house, which on his advice, was immediately removed to more secure quarters. Mr and Mrs. Glass was wholly unaware of the danger lurking around them but a few hours previous. Mitchell: Mitchell and Logan were not able to effect a satisfactory settle- ment over the small pox case, and a suit for damages is the result. Logan first elaimed $700, but finally agreed to accept $160. Mitchell offered $375, but this amount was refused. It is a pity, where the difference was so small, that a amicable nadjustment of the case could not have been effected. As it is,. no matter which way the verdict goes, both municipalities will be money out of pocket. Notice has been served, at the instance of Logan Council, on each member of last year's Board of Health, and the Medical Health Officer, that af- ter one month from the time of service of said notice an action will be brought against each of the parties mentioned in the high Court of Justice claiming the sum of $700 damages, unless said amount is sooner paid. As the corpor- ation of Mitchell has been advised that there is no liability in the matter, it is likely the council at its next meeting will either appoint a committee to de- fend the threatened suit, or instruct the old Board of Heatth to do so.
