A CONVENTION of the Reformers of the East Riding of Huron will be held in the Town Hall, Brussels, on Friday, June 2nd, at 1:80 O'olook, for the purpose of a general disouseion of political topics and the election of delegates to the Liberal Conventieu'to be held at Ottawa on June 20th. A large representation aseed from each municipality in the Riding. ENGLISHMEN love Mr. Gladstone for the enemiee he has made. Because he pre- fers the interests of the masses to those of the privileged classes, the swells and libertines and other nonentities hissed and hooted the Grand Old Mau when he appeared at the Imperial Institute a few days ago as the guest of the Prince of Wales. Suoh an exhibition of bad man. nere on the part of his sbellow•pated enemies will only add to Mr. Gladstone's popularity with sensible men of all classes. A NEW demand is being made upon the Dominion Government by the eletis of the Northwest Territorial. They held meetings lately end adopted lesulutions eating the government to grant lands to all Metis children born between the years 1870 and 1885—or between the date of the acquisition of the Northwest by Can- ada and that of the rebellion upon the Saskatchewan. Tbe government has refused to consider the new claim made by the Half-breeds ; but the latter pro- pose the agitation iu favor of their de- mands, and if they take up arms the present government may possibly follow the precedent established by Sir John Macdonald in 1885 awl send out commis- sioners to give them all they ash. TEE following provisfous have been made in regard to railway rates to the Dominion Liberal Convention to be held at Ottawa on June 20th :—Delegates, of- ficial or alternate, and all ladies accom- panying them, will be entitled to a return ticket free on complying with the follow- ing regulations : At the railway office where the ticket to Ottawa is purchased it will be necessary for each person to seoure from the railway agent a "stand- ard certificate," and to take it to Ottawa and present it to tin secretary of the con- vention, Who will thereupon endorse such certificate so ae to entitle the holder thereof (on presentation of such endorsed "standard oertifioate" to the Ottawa rail- way agent) to a return ticket free. The tickets will bo good for three days pre. ceding the 20th of June, and for three days atter the close of the convention, Sundays not included. THE Toronto News says :—The New's has more than once expressed the belief that there would be a general Provincial election during the coming Summer. That belief is no longer held. The an• nouucement made by Sir Oliver Mowat to the effect that the bill for the re- arrangemenb of Toronto's representation in the Assembly will be brought in next session is, we think, the strongest pos- sible assurance that the House will not be dissolved before 1894. Assuming this view of the case to be correct, the decision arrived at is one wholly creditable to the Government. Apparently there is every- thing to gain from a party standpoint, by an immediate appeal to the eleotors, but on public grounds a dissolution now would be latterly without justification. If, therefore, Sir Olivet hos decided to let the Legislature live out its natural life, he is deserving of commendation for placing the interests of the people above those of the party. It is to be hoped the Premier will now show the same candor and honesty in dealing with the prohibi. tion quaatiou that be has shown in the matter of dissolving the House. It is within his power to secure, before next • amnion, the judgment of the Privy Conn - oil as to the extent of the authority of the Province in restricting or prohibiting the sale of liquor. This power ought to be exercised in order that the Govern- ment may be in a position next year, on the floor of Parliament, and on the eve of a general election, to state exaotly bow far its jurisdiction extends iu this mat. ter and to what extent it ie prepared to exercise whatever authority it may be found to possess, If Sir Oliver Mowat oats on this suggestion he will present the rare spectacle of a party leader hon. eetly putting before the people a frank statement of his policy in regard to a moat difieult and perplexing question, and thea asking their judgment on that policy, Dr, Elliott, of Chicago, lets of BrUoe- field, is back winding top his agates pre- paratory to his permanent retneVal' 4a Chicago, General lel-e'wwa- The Italian Ministry has resigned.

The Giant's Staircase near Cork, is a singular freak of nature. Sixteen huge knots protrude one above the other from the face of a very steep ascent, forming a flight of steps of striking regularity. It has lately been otroslated that at least 60 per aut. of the earthquakes re• corded all the world over have °courred during the six colder months of the year. In the Mediterranean end many other districts the proportion during the cold weather is even greeter. January and February seem to be the two months in which Mutter Barth especially de- lights in shaking up her children. William Frazier, formerly a bare book circus rider, was killed Sunday by falling down a flight of stairs at his boarding laou'e, No. 138 East Ohio street, Chicago.

Barnum ctc Bailey's 95,000 gorilla created considerable excitement at Bing- hamton, N. Y., on Monday. While the workmeu were at dinner the brute forced the door of his nage from the hinges, and, jumping out, he made for the dressing rooms, which were occupied by two ladies. The frightened women ran screaming from the tent, and the big monkeyescaped into the open air. The people immediately scattered in every direction. The growling beast finally took his stand near a barn, where several of the oanvassmen tried to capture him, but were badly injured. His Portuguese keeper finally arrived, and, after hugging and kissing him with joy, the gorilla readily accompanied him to his cage. He would not enter, however, until an els• phant, of which he stands in mortal fear, was brought ie. Clarence P. Teller, the noted Oinoin- nati diamond robber, escaped from the State Prison Last week. He was not known as Teller, bet as O. Pride, No. 4,- 787, on a seven years' sentence from De- troitfor forgery. He has been employed in shop No. 0 at the prison packing soytbe maths. These maths are pecked in boxes that are 5 feet 8 inohes long and 2 feet 2 niches by 2 feet a inobee in width. In one of these boxes be placed five dozen snatbs, half the number they hold, and labelled it ten dozen. Then the box was nailed up all but one board at the lower end. This he had nailed and sawed the upper end off close to the sheeb.iron band which ie nailed around the top of the box. so that when it was closed it fitted snug- ly under the sheeleiroa and the deception would ordinarily nob be noticed. On the inside of thie board be fastened two wooden buttons by paeans of screws and in the centre he had placed a ring staple, through which he lied run a string. The enaths ware fastened securely itt their pincer by means of oross bare, leaving sufficient room for him. After getting inside he closed the opening by tatting hold of a string and pulling the boatd to its plane and fastening it by means of the buttons. On the top of the board he had driven nails for a blind and broken them off, so that when closed it looked as though it was tightly nailed. About 0:80 Saturday morning the box with others was loaded on a deny at the prison and taken to bVfthington & elooley's ware. hone°, a tow rode from the prison, and put 00 a platform.

The record at the prison shows that on Sept. 18th, 1802,110 attempted to escape from prison by olimbiug to the top of a cell block. The question of a railway leading from Southern British Oolumbia, through Alaska and thence by ferry across the Waits into Siberia, there to connect with the Russian railway system, is again looming up and is by many competent engineers and railway men regarded as both feasible and desirable, so muoli so that a survey has been made by engin- eers engaged by some New York capital- ists. The survey began in 1801 and one of the party has just returned to the States to report progress. The work done extends from Vanoouver, B. C., to Cape Prince of Wales, the point in Alaska nearest Asim, a distance of 2,346 miles. The route followed through Alaska was substantially the sumo as that Wien by the Western 'Union Tele- graph company's surveyors when it was thought that the Atlantis cable model nob be a succees, and the route is thought passible, Mr. Faulkner, ono of the sur- veying party, estimating the average cost at 923,000 a mile. The distance aoross the Behring straits is 26✓; miles, bub the disburse is out by eight islands. Across all these apexes except two, °anti• lever bridges could be constructed. In these two pontoons would have bo be need. The road, to open intercontinental traffic, would have bo be continued 2,300 miles to (tonnoot with the Siberian rail- road. This matter has also at -treated oonsiderable attention in British Colum- bia. Two years ago the legislature grant- ed a charter to the Vancouver, Northern, Peace River and Alaska Railway Co., but beyond securing the charter nothing has been done. The late United Stabes Core sol Taylor, of Wiunipeg, a few years ago presented in elaborate detail the proposi- tion of an iuteruational railway through British Colnmbia and Alaska to Morton's Sound, on Behring Straits, contempe- raueously with the extension of the Russian railway system through Siberia, He favored a line from the frontier in Kootenay Valley near Spokane, in Wash- ington. Such a road would open up 1,- 500 miles of almost continuous gold fields, consisting of the diatriat ane0ees- ively of Kootenay, Carriboo, Omineca, Classier and Yukon. There is little doubt that it will not be many years be. fore a line will be constructed over one of those proposed routes, and it will then be possible to go from here to Paris, Prance, by an all rail route.
