A despatch from Victoria, B.C., says: —Marion Brown,. alias Thos. Allen, the crippled mulatto outlaw of Ontario, is in the toils of the police end went east by the C.P.R. on Sunday night to an- swer for the wanton killing of Police Constable Michael Toohey at London on the 24th of June last. The crime was one of the most cold- blooded and deliberate nature, and the Ontario detectives have consequently exerted every anergy tto bring the as- sassin to justice, Step by step Brown was .traced all the way across the con- tinent to North Yakima, Wash., where Detective Nicholls identified him from a photu and description. The identity was confirmed and an Ontario officer was immediately sent west. TRICKED INTO CANADA. The arrest was made at Yakimia and from there Brown was taken to Seattle, while extradition proceedings were in- itiated. These are always vexatiously Mow, and the Eastern detective knew a better trick by far. Liquor and mor- phine were smuggled into Brown's cell, and thea be was taken uut of the Seat- tle goal under the firm belief that his liberator's were friends. From Seabtie he was got to Port Angeles, and from that port the alleg- ed coloured killer was bruughL here by the steamer Garland on Saturday.

A despatch from Minneapolis, Minn., says:—A battle look place on Wednes- day morning betweeu United States regulars, under General Bacon, and Bear Leland Indians, in which foul' soldters were killed and nine wound- ed. ifow many Indians were killed is not at present known, General Bacon had gone to Bear Island to enforce the authority of the United States mar - shit in that dialriet. Thamarshalhad arrest ad several Indians for various of- fenses, but the other Indiana on the reserve rescued their brethren and would not give them up. INDIANS WERE CONCEALED. According to a despatch to the Jour- nal from Walker, Minn„ General Bacon, with his force of 100 regulars, who were on small river steamers, reached a point Muse to Bear Island early this morning and proceeded over- land towards the Indian reserve. Dur- ing a halt, and while preparations were being made for dinner, the Indians opened fire on the regulars. The In- dians were concealed in the bushes, and the soldiers at once sought shel- ter themselves. The rising at once be- came general. RUSHED AT TIIE MARSHALS. A body of Indians, said to number 150 or 200, m'tdo a rush towards sever- al evenal deputy marshals, who had two pri- soners in their possession, but the re- gulars' heavy fire beat them back. Six Indians were seen to tall during the rush. The Indians then ran to the shote and fired volley after volley at the steamers that had carried the troops. Inspector Tinker, who w•as on the tug- boat Chief, was shot through the leg, and the steersman of the Jennie was shot in the arm. Later reports say that the regulars are entrenched, and will make no fur- iher move until reinforcements arrive. THE SITUATION VERY GRAVE. A special to the Trilnme from Wal -1 ker, Minn„ says in regard to its staff correspondent at the scene of the In-; dian trouble:—"Have not heard of, your man Beaton since the fight be - gnu at 11.80 tam. The last 1 heard of him he was among the Indians with; Brill, and was running, and the In-! diens firing at them. I fear for his; safety, as well as for General Bacon' and his men.

Everyone is vary much excited, yet the situation is such as to warrant it,' ROUND HOUSE BURNED. Fireman and Engineer Alta Next (Nay—'!'heir Tract 1s Completely Destroyed by Etre. A despatch from Chatham, says: — On Sunday morning at 2.80 o'clock the Michigan Central round -house LIt Leamington was discovered to be on fire. The local fire department turned out et the first alarm, but the fire had already got too good a start, All the firemen were able to do was to prevent the flames spreading to the other railroad buildings around. The blazing building made a conflagration that was witnessed for miles around The whole town turned out to !watch the flames in their destructive work, When Night-watchman Alexander Barrie, left the round -house at 12 o'clock everything was all right. Bar- rie, who res, t; ly came here from St. '1 homes, was in bed asleep at the time of the fire. He stays all night during the week, but on Saturday nights he goes home at 12 oaelock. The round -house wits completely burned to the ground, and an engine, coach, and baggage oar which were in the buitding at the time wore destroy- ed. This engine and the coaches com- prised the branch train running be- tween this point and Comber. There is a peculiar incident in connection with the fire. Egineer Cowles, of this train, died last Friday, and the fireman, Collison, died Saturday. Both these men had been running on the train almost since the branch to Comber was built. Sunday night their train was destroyed. The loss to the D2. C.R. is estimated at about $8,000. The cause of the fire is as yet a complete mys- tery. 10,000 HOUSES DESTROYED.

I have available 216,000, and earnestly request 22(1,000 more immediately, This estimate rovers only the losses of the poorer classes," HIS LOSS DROVE HIM INSANE. St, Catharines Sian Robbed of ills '!'rip to England. A despatch from St. Catharines, Ont., says:—Joseph Clark, gunsmith, was brought to this city on Sunday by the Chief of Police of Valleyfield, Que. and leaked up on a charge of insanity. Clark left here for England to few weeks ago, but was robbed of his ocean ticket and money et 11lontroal. Ile started baelt home. At Valleyfield he became insane, and threw himself in the canal, He was remanded by the magistrate hore for eight days. RUSSIA GETTING READY FOR WAR( NEW BATTLESHIPS BEING HURRIED TO COMPLETION. Present Aspect of habil Ions Between limp sln and Itrilnhl—Two Stones From -81. Petersburg. A despatch from Vienna to -day says the Czar is still bent on making a success of bis proposed peace con- gress of the nations. Ire is said al- ready to have decided to make import- ant reductions from the proposed in- crease of naval expenditure—a fact which is highly suggestive in view of the old rumour -to the effect that the Czar's reseript setting forth the de- sirability of general disarmament had its origin in a declaration by M. do Witte, the Russian Minister of Fin- ance, that the Russian treasury was unable to stand the strain of those heavy expenditures. Curiously enough from St. Peters- burg there comes to -day a story of exactly opposite import, This des- patch asserts that 0 new large credit for military purposes is to be propos- ed immediately; yet no one seems to take the idea seriously. RUSSIA PREPARES 1001.1 WALL. While urging disarmament of the nations and universal peace Russia is actively preparing for any possible war. No loss than fora. 'battleships and fot ty torpedo boats and torpedo- boat destroyers are being built in Russian yards, and work upon them is being rushed day and night. The battleships now building in home yards for the itusstan navy aro the (II'omo- hot, a turret ship or 12,000 tons dis- placement and seventy-eight guns; the .Hulas Potemkine Tavritcheeky, a vessel of sixty-two gusts and about the seine tonnage; the Oslabya, of sixty guns and 12,000 toms displueement; and the Peresviet, ot the same tonnage and sixty guns. All except the first have plates of about the same thick- ness as the United Stales battleship Illinois — perhaps not quite so heavy —and each has either five or six tor- pedo lubes. Every Sunday at Constadt, Odessa, or elsewhere the fleet man- oeuvres are witnessed by the Czar in person, and he takes keen delight in observing the skill of his naval com- manders. The annual call for 200,000 men for the army has just been issued, a month earlier this year than usual. The Russian papers aro forbidden to pub- lish any news whatsoever of the move- ments of the fleet or of military and naval operations. , CZAR ASKED TO BALMORAL. "Queen Victoria, it is reported here, invited Emperor Nicholas to Balmoral after the funeral of Queen Louise of Denmark, with a view to a personal discussion of the far Eastern situation, but it is said the Czar is not likely to accept the invitation, owing to the milieu" position of affairs." TO AVOID OCEAN HORRORS. Germany Asks That no Agreement Shall Tse Conte To. A despatch from Berlin says:—The German Foreign Office, at the instance of the Hamburg -American Steamship Company, intends to invite the Gov- ernments'of the Maritime countries to come to an agreement to compel steam- ships to follow trans-Atlantio line routes in order to avoid collision. The action noted In the foregoing cable despatch is directly clue to the Bourgogne disaster last July, although the subject has long been discussed. The Bourgogne was 100 miles north of her proper course. This was confirmed by the Government Courts of Enquiry at Halifax. A new eastern pathway was established in June by the princi- pal transatlantic aloes. ane by agree- ment the ahins were to go farther north than •usual at that time of the year, saving coal and time by so doing. The arrangement was not hinting, how- ever, and the Bourgogne went into the path of sailing melt in order to still further shorten the distance. She did just what snores of other steamships do every month, but was unfortunate enough to be struck by the steel -hull- ed Cromartyshire. It is now proposed to aomo to an agreement by which captains can be forced by internation- al law tto keep in a prescribed course. THE QUEEN IN A RUNAWAY. Boynl Party's Narrow• Escape While Drly Ing at Balmoral, A despatch from London says:— Queen Victoria, her daughter, the ex - Empresa Frederick of Germany, and Princess Adolphe of Schaumburg -Lippe had a narrow °scope while driving at Balmoral, Scotland, on •Monday. The horses of her Majesty's carriage bolt- ed, the coacbrnan tont control of them, and re serious accident: was -only avert- ed by the horses turning into the woods, where the carriage stuck be- tween the treltn, The members of. the royal party were severely shaken and much alarmed, lout were not in- jured.

The death of Ring Uzziath whose grandeur bad SO impressed the nation, marked an era in Jew'ish Ids - tory, and, as we shall see, to Isaiah's personal experieuee, I saw also lhe Lord, in vision. The tradition of the Hebrews was that no man could look upon God and live. 'When in ans- wer to urgent prayer God revealed his glory to Moses it was only apartial revelalion. Sitting upon a throne, bigh and lifted up. The thrones of the East were greatly elevated, and their height above the courtiers in attendance was a sign of the unapproachable dignity of the King. High, indeed, must be the throne of the high and holy One who inhabits eternity. His train fill- ed the temple. The skirls of his robes. The word for "temple" might be trans - lined "pelmet)," it is not plain whe- ther Isaiah was physltta.11y in the tem- ple at this time, or in his own cham- ber he may have seen a vision of the temple, or, as some recant scholars have conjectured, the temple that he depicts was that not made will hands, eternal in the heavens. 2. Above it stood the seraphim. The flaming ones, an order of beings simi- lar to Jewish traditions. Whether (.hese eland for an actual order of created beings we can only reverently con- jecture. Each one had six wings. Like everything in the marble and gold- en temple of. Jerusalem as well us ev- erything in the temple, were not made with hands, eternal in the heavens, each seraph was a symbol, or type, and each of the six wings had its meuuing. With twain, Two. He covered his face. Shutting out the divine gran- deur which he was unworthy to behold. With twain lie covered his feet. That the tarnish and soil of everyday life Wright be concealed. It was an instinc- tive eel ion, and runs in close harmony with the story of the foot -washing by Jesus -Christ on the evening of the last supper. With twain he did fly. Flew, and yet remained stationary, poised on his wings. '!his is Lha mean- ing of the wort! "stood" in the first part of this verse. Reverence, hu- mility, and obedience are shown by these three attitudes of wings. 3. One cried unto another. Not two seraphim, but two choirs of seraphim, As temple choirs of priests used to chant to each other in turn, so slid Isaiah hear and see this choir of hea- venly musicians perform. Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts. Holiness in the tense of purity is one of the quali- ties most essential to God. The con- ception of holiness- was always kept before the minds of the Hebrews, and though in the earliest days they could not understand much more than form- al separation of certain persons and certain vessels for holy purposes, the meaning increased and intensified dur- ing the ages of revelation until the fullness of Lbs thought was developed in the New Testament. The whole earth is full of his glory. In every way nal are reflects ,the glory of God, Men, so far as they submit to his will, help to swell the chorus of thanksgiv- ing, But there is doubtless a much fuller sense. God's glory is to be dis- played on earth and his character matte known here in a very peouiiar way. 4. The posts of the door moved. "The buses of the doorway shook." And remember how massive was the construction of Solomon's temple. At the voice of him that cried. As each one sang his song of gladness to. fresh tremor shook the palace. The house was filled with smoke.% Gocl has revealed himself as a God of absolute purity. His attendants were living flames, and everything else in the temple was in the vision consumed because of the unapproachable flam- ing holiness of God. hence the smoke; hence, too, the prophet's confession of sin and his mortal fear. 6. Woe is me. "Here," says Dr. Ter- ry, "is revealed the whole philosophy of conviction and repentance," and Dr.Hughes well adds that the only reit- son any sinner has a moment's rest is that sin obscures the faculties of his soul. I am a man of unclean lips. The angels in the splendor of holiness bud sting a song, the truth of which Isaiah deeply felt. 13ut his poor lips were dry and black with sin. How could he join in that song? I dwell in the midst of it people of unclean lips. IIe felt at this moment that many of the things be had been accustomed to regard with the greatest reverence were hol- low, and the holiness of the holiest people seethed to him now to be stained with sin. ' Ae with the disease of the body," says .Dr, George Adam Slnith, "so with Lhe sin of the soul—each of- ten gathers to one point of pain. Each man, though wholly sinful by nature, has his own particular and local con- solousnose of guilt, Isaiah, being a professional talker, felt his mortal weakness moat upon his lips," Mine eyes have seen the Ring. And there- fore, according to Jowtsh tradition, he was doomed. 0. A live coal. A glowing stone. In the East there aro no gloves nor grate fires, but stones are boated on char- coal fires and used for baking edema. and warming water. Taken with the tongs from off the altar, The golden altar of incense had upon it stones heated to to glow. 1When heated these stones burned the incense and noosed it to smoke. One of them now was put to a bettor use—that of sanol ifying the lips of the young prophet, '7, He laid 3t upon my -mouth, Where he hood felt( his sin. Thine in- quity is taken away. That is, the sin itself was cleansed. The angel could not cleanse it, however; lit was the firs from the altar that did that. 8, I heard the voice of the Lord, Iaainh's vision may be analyzed into what he heard and what he eaw.

Among the 20,000 members of this order in Ontario Me counsel is sought on all sorts of oc- casions, On the public platform he is one of the strong men of the day, matting against the evils of intemperance. Equally well known. 15 Me. Bell in other provinces of the Dominion, having been for years a member of the Manitoba Methodist Conference and part of this Lime was stationed in Winnipeg. His brother, Mr. James A. Bell, is a nighty respected resident of Beaverton, macre his influence, though perhaps more cir- cumscribed titan that of his eminent brother, is none the less effective and productive or good. Of recent years,brw- ever, the worsting ability of DIr, ,Tames A, Bell has been sadly marred by severe attacks of nervous headache, accom- panied by indigestion. Who eon do fit Werk when this trouble takes hold of them and especially when it beoonlsel ebronic, as was, seotnlugly, the case wale' Dir. Bell? The trouble reached mice in- tensity that last June he was complete• ly prostrated. In this condition a friend recommended South American Nervine. Ready to try anything and everytligg, though he thought he had covered tea list of proprietary medicines, he seamed a bottle of this great discovery. A accond bottle of the medicine was taken and the work was done. Employing his own language: "Two bottles of South American Nervine immediately relieved my headaches and have bout up my system in a wonderful manner." Let us not deprecate the good our otergyme& and social reformers are doing In the world, but how ill -fitted they would be for their work were it not the relief that South American Nervine brings to them when physical ills overtake them, and when the system, as a re• cult of bard, cermet and eontleuou4 work, breaks down. Nervine treats this system as the wise reformer treats the evils he is battling against. 1t serums all the root of the trouble. A11 dies ease comes from disorganization of the nerve centers. This is a scientific fact. Nervine at once works on these nerve eeuters; gives to them health and vlair or; and then there courses through the system strong, healthy, life-mninlotining blood, and nervous troubles of dvery variety aro things of the past.

It is a message of absolute purity, and only a man of pure lips can deliver it. It is a strange message ; hardly a mes- sage at all. But more a prophecy of how the{ people would treat: him. Hear ye indeed, but understand not, Listen, and hear not. See ye indeed, but per- ceive not. Look and sea not. God knows that the people in their Phari- saic godliness will attend to the mes- sage and understand the words, but ignore the inward meaning. To force this meaning upon them Isaiah is di - reeled in grave irony to fell them to do what he is trying to keep them from doing. 10. Make the heart of this people fat, and make thole ears heavy and shut: their eyes. Literally this means mnelto them impervious to holy spiritual influcnaes. But the force of it to the minds of those vious to holy spiritual influences. But the farce of it to the minds of those who heard it would be, as we have said, ironic, and exhortation to do the exact: opposite to what was said. The massage also was aprophecy to Isaiah to keep him from diecouragoment by letting him know how dull the moral sense of his feliowa was, Convert. Turn around from sin to God, 11. Lord, how long? ,blow long will the hardness ofheart: endure, and how long will be the punishment of it? Until the citiee be wasted without in- habitant. Until the notion is taken away into exile. Isaiah need not hope 4for elm thorough moral regenere ation of his 'people, but it is his duty to preach whether they hear or whe- ther they forbear, The land be ut- terly desolate. The soil bosom° a des- ert. 12. The Lord have removed men far away. To Babylonia and Media, For- saking, Depopulation. 13. But yet in it shall bo a tenth. If even one mal Out of every ten be left in the land, It shall return, and shall be eaten, Rather, be burned up The very dregs anti refuse of the na- tion left,in Palestine shall be destroy- ed.
