NOTES AND COMMENTS,
mener.rrr •Pril
The eupplementery estimates for the
comiug fiscal year provide for an ex-
penditure of $7,244, 13. The ordinary
estimates, which, have been under pro-
CeSS of discussion for some time, eall
for $10,068,891. The total is$56,312'-
520. This is aside front the amount

tore, to be larger than anything.in the
record, in el uding the current year,1899-
1900.
AnOttawadespatch says:-.41though
all talk pointed in the direction of a
general election this fall, October be -
trig meatioued as the likely month,
there is now a strong probability of
another session. Even if a session is
not behl, it looks as if the cepsus
would be taken at the earliest possible
time in the new year and the Govern-
ment would have the advantage of the
figures to go to the country on. Then
there would be the advantage of hav-
ing the country canvassed by the cen-
sus enumerators. The:likelihood of re-
constructiug the cabinet will also cause
delay, and as matters now look, there
will be no eliely appeal to the country,
It is said that Quebec is oot in shape
for the elections.
AN OFFENSIVE .A.PPOINTMENT.
The proposition that the Laurier
Cabinet be brightened by the appoint-
ment of Mr, Tarte to the position of
Lieut. -Governor of Quebec will fill
loyal Canadians with indignation.
Here is a Minister wbo has been to
France as our moutbpiece. and has
pledged Canada to a couree that is
most offensive to the people, and. most
insulting to the flag.
He has declared tbat the tricolor is
the national emblem of a huge body
of people in this country ; be has pre-
dicted that the tricolor influence is
scon to be supreme; be has told the
French Republic that we are not with
Britain, and that we will not be true
to the Enipire if Trance should attack
it,
These mischeivous announcements
necessitate the rerooyal oftheMinister,
and it is proposed he be made the rep-
resentative of the Queen when be goes
as go he should.
His elevation to the viceregal posi
tion, instead of being a repudiation of
his deplorable sentiments, will be an
announceinent to France that they are
approved.
We belieye his Excellency would be
warranted in declining, on Imperial
groueds, to sign Mr. Tarte's commis-
sion under the existing circumstances.
The tug Marion sank in Lake St.
Clair on Monday with three of her

The Foreign Legations in China
have all been destroyed, and the "Mis-

killed or subject to torture, by the

A. terrible fire occurred inNew York
on Saturday. Ittook place at the Ho-
boken wharves, when from the acci-
dental iguiting of a bale of cotton on
the wharf, steamships and other pro-
perty to the value of $10,000,000 .were
destroyed, and over 200 lives lost from
fire and. drowning.
Joseph Sifton, a wealthy farmer,
living at A.rys., London Township, rnet
with what proved to be a fatal acci-
dent about 8 o'clock Saturday morning
and died. at 5.30, the time ,appointed
for the wedding. Mr. Sifton, who
was between fifty and sixty years of
age, was to have been married to Mary
McFarlane, daughter of a farmer near
the village, and he was prepared for
the 'wedding when the accident befel
bins. His sore Gerald Sifton, also a
resident of the township, came to do
some -work athis father's place, and he
was in the loft of the barn, fixing the
hay fork track, when Mr. Sifton, sea.,
went up to give him some assistance.
The old man had an axe in his hand,
and it is supposed that in knocking 'a
board off tlae end. of -the barn he lost
his balance, and fell to the ground, a
considerable distance. He still held
on to the axe, and wben assistance
reached him it was found that the
crown of his head was split open.
Whether the wound was caused by
striking on the axe or some hard sub -1
statice could not be stated positively,
but it appeared to be due to the for-

Hunter stepped up to Miss Nixon,
and said: "Are you coming with
me? If you don't. I'll shoot."
Miss Nixon turned round and said:
"Well, shoot!"
Thereupon Hunter shot Miss Nixon
froni behind, the bullet entering the
