News From Ottawa.
Ottawa, JUIy 6. -(Special) --11e day
of Mr. Laurier'e advent to power is
rapidly approaching: I asked the Pre-
mier to -night when the Ministry were
likely to resign, and his reply was,
"The day is not very remote." Sir
Charles is naturally somewhat uncom-
municative on the subject, as otiicial
etiquette requires that the Governor-
General should be the first to receive
the Premier's intimation of his desire to
step out. The resignations may take
place to -morrow, but it Is more likely
to be on Wednesday.
The Ministers were in session this
morning and again Ulla afternoon until
8 o'clock; the Cabinet is again sum-
moned for 11 o'clock to -morrow.
When the Premier has handed in his
resignation to the Governor-General,
Lord Aberdeen will send for Mr. Lau-
rier, who Is anxiously waiting for the
summons In Montreal. As soon as the
Liberal leader gets the invitation to
call upon His Excellency he will do so,
and will immediately assume the task
of forming a Ministry. One of Mr.
Laurier's first acts as an adviser of
Lard Aberdeen will be to obtain a
proclamation further proroging Par-
liament, as stated yesterday. A delay
of two or three weeks will be neces-
sary so that Mr. Laurier may have
time to form his Cabinet and have the
members thereof re-elected. It is gen-
erally.understood that he has already
as good as selected his Ministers.
The secretary of the royal military

perintendent of Firth Culture, is in the

interest in fish culture, and it is an-
nounced that he has just invented an
improved method of fish hatching. It
may be stated that the standard hatch-
ing jar, used in fish breeding establish-
ments ,all over the world, is Mr. Wil -
mot's Invention, but unfortunately he
neglected to patent it, and what might
have been a source of revenue pos-
sesses now no other Interest to him
than perpetuation of his name.
A valuable thistorical record has just
come into the possession of Mr. H. J.

from newspapers of 1837-8, an invalu-
able collection.
With reference to the reported dis-
missals in Toronto Custom House, it
may be stated that no exception has
been made in the case of temporary
clerks in the Queen City. The appro-
priation has expired, and the tempo-
rary clerks in the service all over the
country are affected in a similar man-
ner.
Hon. Peter White is In town to -day
clearing up matters in connection with

and 111 for his Liberal opponent were
rejected. A few of these were thrown
out because the crosses were not plac-
ed in the white disc,but these would not
have affected the general result.

Hesn11ton, July 6. -(Special:) -'Pile re-
count was not finished to -night, as
expected, but it will likely be over to-
morrow morning. At 6 o'clock to -night
50 divisions had been gone through,
and the result was Macpherson 2867,
Bovine 2802, giving Macpherson a ma-
jority of 65 In these 60 divisions. Ac-
cording to the returning officer's
figures the majority for Macpherson
was 161, so that there is a gain of 96
for Bovine. There are 65 divisions Ire
the city. But in addition to the figures
given above, there are 200 or more bal-
lots which in the re-count were laid
aside. The crosses were to some cases
placed In the oblong space before or
after the candidates' names; In other
cases they were placed in the disc, but
in such a manner as to make their
validity doubtful. All suoh doubtful
ballots are being placed aside, and
when the counting is over they will
be submitted to Judge Snider. The
lawyers will argue as to whether they
should be accepted or not, and the
Judge will give his decision, either tak-
ing the voter's motive into considera-
tion when he put a cross in the ob-
long space, instead of in the disc, as
Judge McDougall did in the East York
case, or throwing these ballots out.
When the counting is over the number
of the ballots reserved for the Judge's
decision will be several hundred, and
thus at this stage it is impossible to
form any idea of how the re-count will
go, but the lawyers acting for Mr.
Macpherson, the Liberal candidate, ap-
peared rather depressed this evening,
while the Conservative organizer, Mr.
Nesbitt, was more jubilant than usual.
Mr.
Ratz bets the Seat.
Goderich, July 6. -The re-count of
ballots In the North Middlesex case
was decided before Judge Masson to-
day, the judge taking the same grounds
as Judge McDougall did In the East
York case, viz., that any ballot that
was marked on the white margin
alongside the candidate's name showed
the intention of the voter to vote for
that candidate, although not marked In
the disc. Judge Masson declared Mr.
Ratz duly elected by a majority of 62.

Winnipeg, Man., July 6.-(Spectal,)-
The following Item Is taken from to.
night's Free Press: Many rumors re-
garding a reported eettlement of the
school question are In circulation in
the city. The chief report was to the
effect that the question would be set-
tled by the Manitoba Government be-
fore action oould be taken at Ottawa.
Another rumor was that the Nova
Scotia school system would be adopted
by the Manitoba Legislature, the same
being satisfactory to the minority. ,

chant of Moosomin, committed sutclde

is attached at the Papal Legation to
the report from Rome that Bishop Fal -

the Papal Delegate at Washington. No
information, official or otherwise, has
been received to that effect, and the
report Is thought to have no better
foundation than is to be found in the
ctrou.mstance that Bishop Faloonto
has lived In the United States and
speaks the English language. Cardinal
Satblll will not return to home until
his sumestsor has been appointed and
confirmed In his new dignity, It 1s re-
garded ad unlikely that the Pope will
make the appointment before

Chatham. N.B., July 6. -Dr. Benyon,
a tourist from New Orleans, at 4
o'clock this morning shot Norman Mc-
Kenzie and John McKane in the Wav-
erly Hotel at Newcastle. The shoot -
Ing was done in self-defence, McKen-
zie's recovery 1s doubtful ; but Mc -
Kane was only slightly wounded.
These two, with a traveler named Hall,
were intoxicated and broke into Ben-

ing and said It prevented him from
sleeping. All the parties are in jail,

Later Particulars.
A despatch from Newcastle says :
The shooting occurred early this morn-

John McKane, manager of the Mer-
chants' Bank of Halifax at Newcastle,

when Dr. John H. Benyon of New
York, who was in the next room, got
up and asked them to atop the noise,
as he could not sleep. MoKane and
the others got angry and made a unit-
ed assault on the doctor,who retreat-
ed to his room. They followed him,
ar'd made another attack upon him.
McKane and his friends finally forced
the doctor on his back on his bed, and
were beating him when he reached for
a revolver from a table close by and
fired three shots In suocesston at his
assallanta. McKenzie received two
bullets, one In the breast and one in
the wafer McKane reoelved one,mak-
ing a flesh wound on the top of his
head. McKenzie 19 In a very precari-
