It is Well known that the literary ieweutor of the late Sir John MoDonalcl Joseph Pope—has published a we volume biography of the father of to xfederation, which no.doubt will be eset.3 with interest • by people of both e :ies.of political opinion. But it is a:»,t so generally known that ll..

And to this was added a clause drawn up by Str A. T.

The fires extended over a period of several years, front 1581 to 1885, and, according to the insuranee poople,entalled a loss on buildings and stools of more than n million dollars. Warrants have also been issued for the arrest of two others, but it is believed they have managed to escape to the United States. Tho prisoners are con- fined In separate quarters, and allowed no percentage higher than they were a year ago—that is the time to sell, un- less all the symptoms point unmistak- ably to a further rise. The most fore- handed of the farmers in the North- West, it may be conjectured, will fol- low a waiting policy if prices do not round out soon. Their No. 1 hard wheat is wanted for the best flour wanted en a large scale, and is ob tainable for home grinding nowhere else, unless from Duluth, with 15c. a bushel added for duty. A general holding back on their part could not fail to be a corrective of low prices But the majority of them need the money as soon as they can realize, and, perhaps, after all, it is better in the interests of the whole country that general holding is not possible. The holding back of the wheat means the holding back of everything, and we want trade and industry to feel the quickening influence of the harvest as soon as possible. There is consequent- ly no time when liberal prices for wheat do so much good as in the fall, when the majority of growers have to sell, aad. have wherewith to sell.— Mail and Empire. '''.ILL THE WHEAT BE HELD ? To hold, or not to hold, his . wheat— Slat is the question which now begins ao perplex the farmer. Latterly he las watched the prices in the world's markets waning from the hopeful fai- rness they reached some months ago. :Taiday the closing price in Chicago was 60 1-4c., while red wheat in To. ressito sells at 63c. This easing off of watues is in the face of conditions that acre unquestionably favourable. Esti- mates of the world's crop forecast a s-tortage varying from 70,000,000 to '�'1O,000,000 bushels. Just where the mark is at which these are aimed, and kt+sr close to it or how wide of it the two elseve extremes dome, it is impossible no say, but a considerable shortage ;Saye evidently will be. The English alp alone, which may now be measur- e- with an approach to accurancy, is ;,jai down by Beerbohm most reliable of 't calculators, at 88,000,000 bushels roes than last year's erop.

Mr. Mc Graw had been for the past year work- ing on a tunnel at the above named place, and on Thursday last the tunnel was completed. When the work was completed Mr. McGraw said to his com- panions (merely to be last man out of the tunnel) that he would go down once more. He at once took hold of the rope of the shaft to lower himself when the shaft over -balanced and pitched the ill-fated young man to his doom— a fall of 165 feet. He fell into about 10 feet of water and when his body was found the vital spark had departed. Word was at once despatched to his brother, Thos. McGraw, at Sarnia Tun- nel, who left the same evening for Mil- waukee and brought the body to Park hill. Mr. James McGraw was well- known in this vicinity, having been brat,sma onover five •utheG.T,R,for be fi e years, and his death has cast a gloom over the community. Put Fire to His Feet. Fiendish Outrage by Burglars Near E arkhxlL Parkhill, Ont., Sept. 7.—Last night about one o'clock three men, two of whom were small, and all of them young men, went to the house of John Bullock about four miles from Parkhill on the town line, where Mr. Bullock and his aged mother live. They tied Mrs, Bullock, who was sleeping down stairs, but she yelled to her son, whet was upstairs, but two of the burglars wont upstairs and; bound Mr, Bullock also before he was able to defend himself, They then demanded money, and took matches and burned the soles of his feet until he told them where what money they had was. The robbers se- cured about $35 and Mr. Bullock's watch, They then left for the stable and cook a horse and buggy atd left, Mrs. Bullock, after a great deal of diffi• nutty, loosened the rope which bound her, and went to the house of Mr, Ellis, who is a near neighbor, and informed him of what had happened. Mr, Ellis went over and loosened the rope which bound Mr. Bullock, and found that the burglars had completely ransacked the house. They were traced for about four miles east, where they were lost track of, No trace of horse or 'burglars as yet. High Constable Schram was notified Saturday evening, and at once took steps to prevent the escape of the desperadoes, if possible. The pottiest have been notified in all directions.

The Dominion claimed that the pro- vinces, having obtained the benefit of the Act of the Dorninion,cannot now question the correctness of the Dominion account on which the Dominion Act was based. The provinces disputed this, and claimed that they were not bound by the reoital in the Dominion Aot, and that the. Dominion Act, which Was the better terms Act, was merely for the purpose of levelling out fin- ancial matters between the provinces, and. was not intended to deal with the question of the excess of debt. Th% arbitrators delivered an unanimous judgment in favor of the provinces,bold- ing that each item in the account deliver- ed by the Dominion was examinable on the merits, and that the items were not established by the Dominion Act of 1S78, or otherwise. The next meeting will be held in Que- bec on November 17th. The arbitrators' counsel and all those engaged in the case were entertained and treated to a splendid dinner in the evening at Dorval, at the "Forest and Stream," Montreal's magnificent club. receive the frill extent of punishment the law allows, and we trust the. guilty parties may be brought to justice.

We refer to e the marriage of Mr. Wm. Hall to Miss Mary Couch, which took place on Wed nesdav last, at the home of th bride's father. After the marriage ceremony was performed by Rev.

We congratulate Mr, Hall on se- curing such an estimable partner; one who will doubtless make a loving wife The wish of their many friends is that they may have a pleasant trip down the stream of life. Mitchell: Monday night the stables of Mr. Peter McMnrry, Huron road west of Mitchell, were entered and one of his best horses stolen. The halter shank was cut with a sharp knife, and the animal led. right past the dwelling house on to the road. From here the thief crossed over to the farm of Mr. A. R. Walker, where he, secured a cop buggy and set of harness. Hitching to these he drove off, and although dili gent search has been made, not the slightest clue to his whereabouts has been obtained. As there are unusual numbers of drunken tramps about just now farmers cannot be too careful in keeping a 'close watch on their move- able property. Barns and stables should he securely locked. Ailsa Craig: On Monday evening the streets were made hideous by the yells of a man dressed up as a nigger,. who paraded the sidewalks ringing a bell for the purpose of drawing a crowd to hear the free concert (?) by an electric belt troop of four voices (S.). He sang a questionable song and dis- gusted all present, with the result that upon an attempted repetition of the farce on 'Tuesday night, the offender was first pitched into the gutter and then rotten -egged. When last seen the quartette were heading west. We. do not approve of this lawlessness and it would have been far more seemly for the village constable to have arrested this man for his flagrant breaches of the village by-laws.

Sir William Van Horne,on being shown a despatch from Toronto in regard to the Board of Trade's action about the scouring of wheat. said:" The Government, in my opinion, was perfectly justified in not ex- cluding wheat which has been treated for smut by brushing from the higher grade, if the brushing has made it fit for that grade." "If it had been excluded what woul'll have been theresult?" he was asked. "To have excluded it would have meant much hardship to a great many wheat - growers. I think there will be much less smut this year, and that when the next seeding comes everybody will join in such treatment of the seed as will get'rid of the difficulty, and then we will hear the last of it." FEDERATION. IMPERIAL F ION. T The Colonies ltiay Be Called Upon to Help Support the Xmperial Navy. . London, Sept. 8.—Correspondence be- tween the Imperial Federation Committee and the Ministers of Mate, which was pub- lished yesterday, indicates that the col- onies of Great Britain may be called upon to contribute towards ties cost of main- taining rho Imperial navy, and in return be offered a porportionate share in its con- trol. Tho Imperial Federation Committee urges that this arrangement would lighten the burden of the British taxpayer, and at the same time advance the cause of Im- perial unity. The utterances of Colonial statesmen, including Sir Julius Vogel, formerly Prime Minister of Now Zealand, are cited to show that they support the movement. Tho Marquis of Salisbury pointed out to the members of the commit- tee that thorn were fatal risks attending a divided control of naval affairs, but the Duke of Devonshire, Lord President of the Council, the Marquis of Lansdowne, Sec- retary of State for War, and Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, Secretary of State for the Colonies, all promised that the proposal should, have their careful attention. In this connection, the Globe yesterday' afternoon, in the course of a long article, said that the British Empire may truly be said to be on its trial. The anomaly of the present position has forced the question whether the result is satisfactory, and `whether we can go on nitwit longer with- out a radical change None of our col- onies, the Globe asserts, can regard itself safe from hostile attacks., In the ease of war between England and America, Can- ada Dight bo expected to•be iriVaded, and serf -protection of any of the colonies against any one of the great powers is so manifestly out Of the question that the 'colonies would be thrown back upon the Imperial navy.
