pleto the connections.
As a special compliment to Canada

able His Excellency to send a con-
gratulatory message to Lord Tenny-

ford also despatched two messa,ges

Ottawa's greetings. •
NOT A CAR FAMINE.
•C.P.R. Manager Says. That Scar-
city is Unavoidable.
eatee-Mentreal despatch says :-Mr.
D. McNicoll," second vice-president
and general manager of the C.P.R.,
returned on Tuesday fron1 a trip to
the West. He brings back the usual
report of abounding -prosperity, and
the crop being moved out at a rate
that has no precedent. The branches
of the C.P.R. under construction are
being pushed forward as rapidly as
possible, and, generally speaking,
everything is in as good 'condition
as anyone has any reasonable right
to expect. Asked in regard to the
- alleged scarcity of cars, Mr. McNicoll
said there always was .at this time
• of the year, and probably would be',
a scarcity of cars, but this did not
mean at all that there Was a car
feAlne. This ,scarcity was felt all
overthe-ncintinent. It simply could
not he helped,. because no. .organiza-
tion in the world could supply- all
the Care which were required at . a
-given moment for the transportation

a env of coal on the siding. When
the engine struck the car it drove it

come north to Winnipeg, where it
will branch in tivo direetioes, one
branch going; to Fort Alexanderi on
Lake Winnipog, the other to Winni-

traverse Southern Manitoba, and
will pass into the Territories, abont
sixty miles north of the interna-

to say that by all that long period

of another worthy township official,
Mr. *Tables Reid, treasurer of Morn-

A NEW R.USSIAN SECT.
Enochites .Zarizyn - Foretell
End of World,
A St. Petersburg despatch saYs: A
new religious sect has arisen in the
Government of Zarizyn, and so the
a.uthorities have begun to take en-
ergetic steps to cheek its' progress.
The followers of the sect call them-
selves Enochites. Through. their dis-
ciples they disseminate among the
peasants a terrible•fean of the ap-
proaching end of the world. As signs
of universal *calamity they adduce
all the latter-day manifestations such
as railways, telegraphs; and tele-
phones. They declare that in every
gramophone sit several little devils
and 0110 large 'devil on the top. They
affirm that the Prophet Elijah has
again appeared on the earth, and
lives in the form of rather John Of
Eronstadt, near St. Petersburg. The
agents of the Anti -Christ imprint
their seal upon men; thouga not un -
on the body, but upon a paper
which they must carrsr with them,
and which is called their pass. Fin-
ally, the Enochitee teach that the
Prophet Enoch is already upon the
earth, though as yet be Inc not been
sen by anybody. As soon as ae has
appeared to his disciples the world
will be destroyed. So far as the
Enochites are able to see, but two
years yet renlain before the dostruce
tion of the world. In order • to
check the pernicious activity of the
sea tile Government has despatch-
ed forty Russian traveling priests to
the Government of Zarizyla

CANADIAN FOOD STUFFS.
Stores and. Dining -Rooms to Be
Established in London. •
' •
According to the London.- papers,
the scheme to establish storm and
'dining rooms' in London and other
parts- of the Kingdom for thsa
e le
of Canadian food stua exclusively
has taken shape and soon a repre-
sentative of the proposed corpora-,
lion will land in Canada, withthe
idea of soliciting eapital for the en-
terprise. The idea is that everyehing
sold in these stores shall be
dials, and it is hoped, in this man-
ner. to 1i:crease the Dominion's, ex-
ports to the mother country.
The .mw scheme to be promoted by
a, Canadian Food Supply Associa-
tion. Many prominent men are in-
terested in the project, includiug the
Earl of Aberdeen, Lord. Stemmore,
Lord 130.1four of Burleigh, and Arr.
William Turner, the late general
manager of the ltficllend Railvray.
The proposed capital of the asSo-
ciation is 4550,000, of which it is
hoped to raise £150,000 among the
people of Canada., and for this pur-
pose a, representative of the company
sailed for the Dominion. -
BAKE SHOPS WILL 13E OPENED.
*Upon the success of this gentle-
man's visit wili depend the storee
and dieing rooms portion of the en-
terprise. This is not'all, however,
that is desired, for arrangements
will also be made for public exhibi-
tions of Canadian cookery, and.bake '
ehops will 'be opened where Canadian
flour will be used exclusively. In
addition to all this it is proposed' to
erect cold storage for perishable
goods such as Deere, tomatoes, fieh,
game, pouttry, sweetbreads, kidneys,
and in fact all articles which require,
a low temperature.
The Canediau manufacturere and
produce shippers have not, so far as
known, been communicated with
tion the subjedt. They look at such
an enterprise in various: lightes and
while they state there •is:inueb. in
favor of such a scheme there aro
still points on the other side Which
must be considered very. carefully.
For instance, a desirable butter for
the market cannot be shipped to.
England the year round from Can-
ada. For six- Months of the year
Canada can furnish alb the butter
necessary, but when late winter and
early spring comes, high class new
butter IS out of the question.
SHIPMENTS OP EGGS.
The eatee rimy be said of eggs, for
at certain -Ulnae of the year, say the::
egg shippers, Canada. cannot furnittli
fresh eggs at a figure sufficiently
reaSonable for the British market.
11 tronld, therefore, be necessary,
these gentlemen think, to substitute
et certain- times in the year, other
than Canadian goods, or oleo :a
stdacrY eustom could not be built
up. People would net -go to one
-
store a. certain portion of the yeav
for their butter and eggs, endto the
other the remainder of the tibio.
:lit the majority et other goods,
such a5 sinoked moats, ,eheiesse. flame.
etc., Canada stood ready to Supply
them the -year round.
