Canada will have from twenty to thirty millions of bushels of brain for export,' and that will mean many millions of • dollars in circulation this fall. e The sandal investigation at Ottawa is proving a boomerang that is flitting the grits pretty bard. The irregularities were inaugurated during sclivazie's regime, and by his appoi'ntments kept up.. The bye -election in North Brandon Saturday resulted in a victory for the Greenway Government's candidate, At- torney -General Clifford Siftonwhose lnajority over Cliff (Conservative) was 17e. ■ . n The farmers over in Uncle Sam's do- mains have good crops as well as our- selves. If we had free trade does the Ontario farmer think he would sell much grain over there 4. The air may be full of rumors at Ottawa, and the Government may be on the verge of despair owing to the scandal developmeuts, but so long as it can hold its majority of 20 or 26, there's not much hope of a break-up, and some of the leading papers might just as well admit. -Clinton New Era. * * The assessed value of Los Angeles, Cal., is dt3,000,0110 less than last year. A more striking testimony to the total collapse of the boom could not be pre- sented. It would be interesting to know how many eastern "greenies" were bitten by the boomers of this and other California cities of mushroom growth. d�4 In 1875 all the horses exported from the Dominion numbered 14,179 and were valued at $1,273,728, or $89.83 each. In 1890 the horses exported numbered 16,550 and wore valued at $1,1l3ti,073, or $118.13 each. The num. ber exported increased by 16.1 per cent ; the price increased 52 percent. The declared value of each animal increased :lid per cent. 411 The Dominion Millers' Assooiation met in Toronto lest week. Secretary Flews estimated the wheat crop of 1891, in Canada, as 55,160,000 bushels, requir- ed for consumption 22,825,000, for seed 4,147,000, leaving for export 22,188,000. The committee on seed. wheat reported. The red varieties recommended for their milling excellence were hybrid Mediter- ranean and longberry red, American bronze, red velvet chaff and Egyptian. The Manchester variety was not fsvored being considered a weak wheat, Of the white variety. the Surprise was consider- ed the best in Ontario, as combining color and staength. Canadian velvet chaff, Gosfield, Ramsey, were also re- commended. A. reciprocity treaty has just been concluded between the United States and Spain, under which certain pro- ducts of the former country are admitted to the Island of Cuba free of duty. "This treaty," a fake Washington dis- patch to the Globe says, "will be almost as great an injury to the Dominion as it is an advantage to the United States," It is difficult to see how any treaty made by the United Stated with regard to Cuba can materially affect Canada. The value of our exports, in animals and their products and in agricultural pro- duce, to that island only amounted to $107,000 in 1e90,and even if that trade was wiped out altogether, the loss would scarcely ruin the farmers of Canada who export twenty-seven million dollars' worth of like produce to other countries. The only important trade we have with Cuba is in fishery product. Hector Lan vin Sir ge Minister of Public Works at Ottawa has resigned his portfolio before entering the presence of the examining committee, and in doing so he did the right thing at a dangerously late moment. The Governmenthas already suffered too much through his incompet- ence or worse, which it would not have suffered had he resigned sooner. It is useless to suppose that his resignation was altogether voluntary. He has held his ground for months against public expostu- lation and resigned now but through pres- sure from above. Premier Abbott's speech the other day in the Senate; when he ex- presser) a determination to punish wrong- doing without the slightest regard to the personality of the offender, no doubt had its due weight, and the same resolve may have been more pointedly made in private. The Conservative members would refuse to votP supplies to the Public Works Department while Sir Hector still remained at its head. The Premier is sound and the party is sound. That tl e Cao vurnment has reiolyed to whitewash the Minister is rot, and there was never anything to warrant the as- sertion. The situation of affairs amply 1 discredits such a charge. , - DOMINION PARLIAMENT, THE LABOR"BUREAU TO BE PUT iN OPERATION SHORTLY. The Govttnnse: t Considering the Triton ttoual Abattolr Company Question- A Reciprocity Treaty with Spain to be Sought by Negotiations bythe Gen-- ernrnent. OTTAWA, Aug. -11, -In the house yester- day Mr. Haan -art, said the question of allow- ing the International Abattoir Company to import cattle from the United States to be slaughtered and the neat exported was re- ceiving the consideration of the Govern - Ment. In reply to Mr. Lepin, Mr. Haggart said it was the intention of the Government to put into operation the act of 1890, creating aBureau of Labor Statistics. This would be done as soon as the census returns, on which the bureau would be based, were com- piled. D1r. Foster said, in reply to Mr. Laurier, that the Government is aware that a Teel* peachy treaty has lately been concluded be- tween the L nited States and Spain, and it intends to resume negotiations for a reci- procity treaty between Canada and Spain. Sir Adolphe Caron said in reply to lift. German,. that a response to a petition a awn was placed in the estimates for the erection of a monument on Drummond Hill to come metnorate tine battle of Lundy's Lane, Since then the petitioners had requested the amount to stand, as they intended to solicit subsdriptions, which with the grant of the Government, would make a larger and more imposing monument. The amount was at the disposal of the petition- ers still. The Senate Committee on Railways met thtsmorningtoinvestigate the charges made in connection with the disposal of the'laic des Chaelurs Railway subsidy. The gentle. man usher of the Black Rod reported that his deputy, who was scut to Montreal to servea summons on C N. Armstrong, con- tractor of the road, was unable to dud him. A telegram was read from Mr. Armstrong, dated at Nett Arran, saying that he would be present on Wednesday. A Ietter was read from the company saying that it had decided to take no part in the proeeediugs. The Chairman reported that no answer had been received from several of those to whom summonses were tent Saturday, including Mr. Pacaud, editor of Le'I;,lec- teur, As there were no witnessea present the committee adjourned until to -day. Hon, Francais Langeliar received a tele - ;ram from i1ir. Pacaud to -day, stating that he had not received any aummons to appear before the committee, but that he left Buebec yesterday, expecting to give evidence to- day. When Mr. Pacaud reached Montreal he learned from the Gazette that lie was re- quested by his summons to bring certain papers, and that Mr. Barwick declined to proceed with any dnquiry until after Mr, .Arrtlstrong had gide. tcstimauy, consequent- ly Mr. Pacaud wet4t beak to Quebec, whops he will await the benato's sununons. The bill to grant a subsidy of $80,000 a year for 21 years, to the Hudson Bay Rail- way, passed the Senate on a division of 35 to 15. Hon. 11Ir. Cosgrain Dying.

The Senator went out on Saturday in perfectly good health with his brother, with a view of spending a couple of days among the Islands. A Government Laborer Fatally Injured. OTTAWA, Aug. 11. -Charles Lepage, Gov- ernment workman, received probable fatal injuries.

He was taken to the Water -street hospital. The rope was taken from the Government stores and was said to be rotten. A Bridegroom Killed. MONTREAL, Aug. 11. -Saturday morning Honorius Palardeau, aged20, of St. Henri, left for St. Hubert to visit a young lady, to whom he was about to be married. He re- mained all day, during which the wedding day was fixed and all preliminaries for the happy event perfected. With many adiuex the groom expectant left at dark for the station to catch the train for Montreal. This wasthelast heard of him till yesterday, when the driver of the 6 o'clock morning train approaching St. Hubert for the city saw the body of a man lying in the centre of the track just ahead. The body was subse- quently identified as being that of young Palardeau. It is thought the young man having re- mained rather late at the house of his af- fianced, hurried along the centre of the railway track to catch the train, and it be- ing quite dark the latter overtook and knocked him down before he could realize its nearness. A Sunday Storm's Fatality. WATERLOO, Ont., Aug. 11. -Many barns north of this were unroofed by yesterday's storm, fences blown down and much damage done to standing crops. In Waterloo a dwelling house was struck by lightning. The roof of the establishment of Graybill Manufacturing Co. was blown off and car- ried a considerable distance.

The storm came on suddenly just as they sat down to tea and blew down a large maple, the branches of which in its fall struck a number of children. A little girl nine years old, named Sieginan, was instant- ly killed and five others seriously injured, two of them, it is feared fatally. ., Shown to the Jury in its Coffin, STRATFORD, Aug. 11. -.lin inquest was held by Coroner Devlin and a jury on the body of a child which died under suspicious circumstances. The child was born at the house of a familynamed Burgman in this city, it's mother's name being Rose Rohner, and was afterwards removed to the house of Mrs. Stevenson, who lives in the Duperow farm in Downie. While the e numerous at- tempts were made to have the child adopt- ed, but without success. On the day of the child's death it was given something . to drink supposed tobe milk. Immediately after partaking of the liquid it turned sick,. vomited and died one hour afterwards. The child was produced in court to enable the jury to witness it. It was in a coffin and appeared quite natural. SPORTING (YEWS. The Barrie Regatta; B.lutu:, Aug. n. -The twelfth annual regatta of the C.A. of A.O. commenced yes- terday onKempenfelt Bay.
