Passed Away at nopeutiagen After a tong A despatch from Copenhagen says: -Queen Louise of Denmark died on Thursday morning.

She was a daugh- ter of La,ndgrave Wilhelm, of Hesse - Cassel, and was married on May 26th, 1842, to Christian, fourth son of the late Duke Wilhelm of 'Schleswig-Holstein- Sonderburg-Glucksburg. Christian was ieppointed to the succession of the Crown of Denmark by the treaty of London of alty 8, 1852, and by the Dan- ish law of succession of July 51, 1853. Be succeeded to the throne as Chris- tian II. on the death of King Frederick VII., on November 15, 1863. For the last thirty years of her life the Queen exercised such influence on the politics of Europe that she was sometimes called the mother-in-law of the Continent. Another title which was sometimes given her was the "Royal matehenaker." The children of King •Christian and Queen Louise are Pri ace Frederick, the heir -apparent, born June 3, 1843, who married Princess Luisa, daughter of King Carl VI. of Sweden and Norway; Princess Alexandre, born December 1, 1844, who was naarried March 10, 1863, to the Prince of Wales; Prince Wil - heli, born December 24, 1845, elected King of the Renews, under the title of George I., by the Greek National As- sembly in 1863, and who married Olga Constantinowna, Grand Duchess of Russia in 1867; Princess Marie Dag - Mar ?Empress Maria Feodorovna), born November 26, 1847; she was mar - tied November 9, 1866 to Alexander III., the late Emperor ot Russia; Prin- cess Thyra, born Sept. 29, 1853, who was married December 21, 1878, to Prince Ernest August, Duke of Cum- berland, anti Prince Waldemar, born October 276, 1853, who married in 1885 the Princess Marie d'Orleans, eldest daughter of the Durc de Chartres. 13ERESFORD ON THE EAST.

Except Quebec and Perla taps NADA Cantu bla-Great Change of Sentinient In Ontario. The returns of the vote cast in the plebiscite taken on Thursday last throughout Canad.a, are still incom- plete, but it would appeer that every province in the Dominion has pronounc- ed in favor of prohibition with the ex- ception of Quebec, and, perhaps, Bri- tish, Coluralbia. In Quebec the senti- ment was overwhelmingly adverse to the principle, the large majority oi 30,- 000 being recorded against it, British Columbia also seems to have spoken against probibitian.

British Columbia, . . 202 Total Majority for Prohibition in Doe minion 17,929 -many Returns still in- complete. The Maritime Provinces are true to their record ixi voting for the abolition of the liquor traffic. They have al-. ways favored restrictive legislation, and it was a foregone conclusion that they would give majorities for prohibi- tion. Ontaxio has also declared against the importation, manufacture, and sale of intoxicating liquor. The, sentiment wes strongest in the rural districts, in the laxge centres of population the feeling was not favourable to prohibi- tion, every oity in Ontario giving a majority against it excepting Brant- ford. Manitoba followed in the same course as Ontario and the Lower Pro- vinces, and endorsed the proposition. The vote in Toronto shows a re- markable change in sentiment. In January, 1894, when the provincial plebiscite was taken Toronto gave a majority of 2,500 in support of prohibi- tion. On. Thursday the vote was en- tirely reversed, and the people pro- nounced against the principle by a ma- jority of 3,700, the aggregate vote be- ing larger than on the previous OEM - Elora, In other cities throughout the province a similar reversal of opinion took place. Thursday was the first time a vote on prohibition was taken in the Pro- vinces of Quebec and New Brunswick. The former province spoke with no uncertain sound, the city of Montreal contributing an adverse majority of over 12,000. It is noteworthy that in every province where a plebiscite had prevadusly been -taken the majority for prohibition was reduced. The vote in Ontario was very close, evidencing that since 1894 there has been a most ere - markable change in popular feeling. The smallness of Tharsday's vote for prohibition in Ontario is attributed by some to the fact that women did not vote, while at the plebiseite in 1894, which was held, at the same time as the municipal elections, they were allowed to poll their ballots. The ab- sence of women from the polls does not however, furnish a satisfactory explan- ation of the reduced prohibition ma- jority, as the total nuraber of the votes polled by women in 1894 was but a very small proportion o.falttst2h4eicwevithyo.,1e.

A despatch from Cairo says :-Gen- eral Kitchener, commanding, the Anglo- Egyptian expedition, has returned to Omdurman, having established posts at Fashoda and on the Sebat river. The teeops did. no fighting except with a dervish steamer on the way south, which was captured. MARCHAND DECLINED TO LEAVE. The London Daily Telegraph's Cairo correspondent, telegraphing on Mon- day says: -"General Kitchener found the French at Fashoda. He notified Major Marchand that he had express instructions that the territory was British, and that the French must re- tire, and offexed them passage to Cairo. Major Marchand absolutely de- clined to retire unless ordered to do so by his Government. No fighting occurred. Major Marchand was given clearly to understand that the Brit- ish insisted upon their claims, and the rest has been left to be settled by diplomacy between the respective Gov- ernments. HOISTED THE UNION TACK. "General Kitchener sent a long offi- cial despatch to London, hoisted the. Union jack and Egyptian ensign, ad left as a ' garrison the 11,th and 15th Soudanese Battalions and the Cameron Highlanders to protect the British flag. Colonel Jackson oomnaands the garrison." DERVISH REMNANT DEFEATED. A despatch from Suakita, says: -The only organizect remnant of the dervish army was deieated and. its last strong- hold, Gedaref, captured on September 22nd, after ,three hours' hard. fighting, when an Egyptian force, the Kassala garrison, with a camel. corps., number- ing 1,800, under command of Col. Parsons, routed 3,000 dervishes, of whore 500 were killed. Three Egyptian officers were wound- ed and 37 Egyptian soldiers killed and 59 wounded. Th,. dervish tones at Gedaref was under. Ahmed Fedil, a. cousin of the Ktalifa. It formed no part of the arms that was defeated at Onadarmen, and had always been a separate com- mand. Gedaref hes about 100 miles to the south of Kassala, between the River Atbaxa and the River Rahaud, a tribu- tary of the Blue Nile. Ahmed Fedil succeeded to the com- mand of the Gedaref army after the defeat of the Dervishes under Ahmed Wad Ali, who was killed at Agordat by the Italians in November, 1985. HEROES OF OMDURMAN. A despatch from London, says: -It is reported that the War Office has granted to the Twenty-first Lancers a short furlough in recognition of its bravery at Omdurman. Otherwise the regiment would have gone direct from Egypt to India. for b two years' stay. According to report it has now been arranged that the regiment shall first come to London, and march with full equipment from the docks to the Knightsbridge barracks, receiving an ovation throughout the march.

" The British Government has offer- ed 412 sterling to each reserve or time -expired man who is willing to re- engage with the expedition." SIRDAR'S REPORT INTERESTING. A despatch from London says :-The newspapers of the country are clam- orously demanding tbat the Government take the public into confidence in re- gard to the Fashoda eiftair, having been informed that General Kitchener's re- port has reaohed the Foreign Office, teed that it shows interesting develop- ments, They appear to be deeply dis- appointed that diplonaatists are to have the settlement of the question. The Foreign Office has issued a for- mal refusal to make public ane fur- ther details of the affair, some of which, however, are leaking out. • The Birder, according to these, after Major Marchand refused to furl the French flag, formally announced that he had come to raise the Egyptian flag, but before doing so, desired to know' whether Major Marchand wished to enter a protest. The Frenchman re- plied in the negative, and the Sirdar then planted the Egyptian flag alone - not the Egyptian and British, as at first reported -500 raetres from the French flagstaff. Negotiations relative to the matter were begun at Paris on Wednesday, the British Ambassador, Right Hon. Sir Edmund J. Monson, calling upon M. Delcasse, the French Foreign Minister. ••••••11 FIVE KILLED IN A WRECK, TERRIBLE DISASTER ON THE IN- TERCOLONIAL RAILWAY. A Special and a Coal Train Collide on the Pleton Branch This Morning -Mimes of the Dead -A 'Number Injured. A. despatch from Stellerton, N. S., says: -A collision occurred near there on the Pictou branch of the Intercol- onia,1 railway on Wednesday morning, five men being killed. The disaster was caused by a mis- understanding of orders, which has not yet been explained. A special from Tataraagonche under Conductor A. R. McLeod, met a coal train in charge of Conductor W. Gordon, at a point between Westville and Stellaxton, known as Adam's cut. The killed include one passenger who was on the speoial, ancl the engineers • and firemen on each train. They are: Jas. Sproul, engineer; Michael O'Brien engineer; W. G. Henderson, fireman; 3. R. McKenzie, fireman, and a passen- ger named Cameron, from Scotch Hill. TWO PASSENGERS. were seriously injured and a number slightly injuxed. One of the tevobad- ly hurt is John McMillan, of Pictou. The special was an excursion train of seven oars, erowded with people bound for Ha.lifae to the Provincial Fair. The other train was going to Westville with about sixty miners, who were on their way to work the Acadia Colliery. The collision occurred at a sharp curve, and, the two trains, which were running at high speed, came to- gether without warning. The four men on • the locomotives were killed out- right, and their badly mangled bodies were found in the 'debris. Martin Mc- Donald, of Lyons Brook, a passenger, who was on the ear next to the en- gine of • the special, was also killed. The front beef of 'this ear was com- pletely demolished. One of the miners had his jaw broken. Wrecking trains and doctors are at the scene. IT WAS MIRACULOUS that there were not more killed, as the accident occurred in one of the most dangerousplaces on the Pictou branch. i The men n the eabs had probably no time to jump to save their lives, and if they did, they were instantly buried in the, wreckage, %vbich piled laigh by the sides of the fatal blind curve. Their bodies were found among the debris of the wreak, mangled and lacerated al - mot beyond recognition, The news of the terrible accident was., soon com- municated to Stellarton, and thence spreed quickly to the other towns and surrounding country. r People flocked to the scene in thou- sands, eager to render assistance. Doc- tors were speedily summoned, and they axe working vigorously to alleviate the suffering of the wounded Passengers and trainmen. TO HONOUR KITCHENER.

It is deeply interesting to know that in the cause of humanity the Birder sent a letter to the Khalifa three days before the bombardment, advising him to withdraw all the women and chil- dren from Omdurman to a place of safety. Apparently the Khalifa was SO confident of success that he treated the message with scorn. No sympathy tenet be felt for these fiends inearnate. Dervish wanderers about the battlefield have already dis- interred and mutilated our dead. If of at all it is on the si td'e TRADE FOLLOWS THE FLAG. Although so far from the usual run of civilization, Khartoum already pre- sents a somewhat different appearance to that which greeted the victors on their entry into the city.

'ABYSSINIANS WITH MARCHAND, despatch to the Cologne Gazette from St. Petersburg says it is regard- ed as possible, in the light of recent information, that not only the French expedition under Marchand, but a force of Abyssinian troops, is at Fashoda. It is expected that King Merfelek will refuse. to relinquish his old claim, to the Nile border of his erapire, and. ac- cordingly may plant his flag and as- semble a considerable force opposite Faslaoda.
