TIIE UEST10111, The Effect of the Privy Councils Decision. PROVINCIAL RIGHTS _13.USTAINED_ An Ottawa despatch says: Mr. G. J. Maclaren, Q. C., who is well known from one end of the Dominion to the other as the counsel who in the 0180 Of Russell vs, the Queen argued in favor of the Canada Tem- perances Act, in an interview with which he favored your correspondent to -day, said • the Parliament - of the Dominion has the right to prohibit.the sale of intoxicating drinks, but the right to legislate risspecting liquor licenses is given by the British North America Act exclusively to the Provineial Legislatures, and consequently the Domin- ion Parliament cannot constitutionally meddle with it. During- the two days' argument before the judicial Committee of the Privy Council their Lordships several times expressed their approval of Canadian decisions. sustaining , the stringent provi- sions in the Provincial license laws, on the ground that the authority to grant licenses, • even for revenue purposes gave the licensing body power to supervise, regulate and say on what condition's licenses should be issued. While the case of Russell vs. The Queen was before the Privy Council, a case came before the Court of 'Appeals of the _Pr:wince cofs Quebec as to whether the Pro- vincial Legislature could authorize the -city of Three Rivers to limit tavern licenses. After the judgment of the Privy Council was rendered the Court of Appeals unesai- • naously decided in favor- of the validity of the Provincial Act, and based their deci- sion -on that of the Privy Council, which they held in 00 way interfered with the right of the Provincial Legislatures to puss restrictive • license laws. Sir John • Macdonald alleges that because the Crooke Aot is unconstitutional there is no check at this moment in the Province of Ontario against the unlimited, unrestrained sale of intoxicating liquors. In Ontario such would enothe-the-consequenom-ifsthe-Crooks-Act- -is-ultra-vises-its-could- not repeal the old - Ontario listens° law, which would in that case still remain in force, and as no person holds a license under that old law, instead_ of every person, having a right to sell in- toxicating liquors, the result would be that no one has aright to Bell such liquors. MJ. Maclaren having the Court of Appeals of Quebec and the declarationof, the mem- bers of the Judicial Committee of the Privy • Council- on his side, is quite confident that his interpretation of the decision in the case of Russell vs. the Queen iethe correct one.

Hackett says that he was at Carey's house on the night of the murder of Lord Freder- ick Cavendish and Under Secretary Burke. Carey's wife was flushed and excited, and was evidently trying to conceal something. She endeavored to hide some weapons under her cloak. •Carey was in the house, but would not present himself, and .sub- sequently he expressed gratification at the, murder. • Hackett says he has good reason to -believe that Carey planned the murder and was the chief conspirator, that his wife was within distance at the time of the tragedy, and that slae carried away the bloody weapons and concealed them. Cured ot Consumption by Faith. The village of Quincy, 111., is much excited over the supposed instantaneous spiritual cure of Miss Jennie Campbell, a young lady who for months has been declining with oolasumption, and far seyeral weeks kept -her bed, and death was looked for by the family-1,ny moment.

Shortly before the hour for dismissing the pupils an alarm pf fire was raised. Instantly one of the attaches left the building to notify the fire depart- ment. On- returning he found the stairs a mass; of girls, aged from 4 to 12 year; they were piled on one another screaming and moaning piteously. A num- ber of men oatno to their, relief and the Sisters of Charity above endeavored to calm them. When, the children were finally extricated it was found that seven had been crushed to death and the majority of the others injured. They were taken 'to neighboring houses and medical aid rendered.
