The French Government Is Facing
a Serious Crisis.
A despatch from Paris says : The
news from Southern France during Fri-
day night was mostly disquieting.
Thera are those who see or profess to
see an insurrection of dangerous pro-
p( rtions uh•eady launched, but the facts,
or so fur as they have reached the capi-
tat, do not justify such u deplorable con-
clusion.
1l is True that events in Ile Midi have
taken n much worse turn than seemed
at first likely alter the initial measures
of the Government \Vedteesday -morning,
when F'erroul, ex -Mayor of Narbonne,
UFO others were arrested, but up to the
present writing there 1s not sufficient
reason for believing that the Govern-
ment is face to face with ar. armed in-
surrection.
Ig is known, however, that seven
deaths so far have resulted since Wed-
nesday at Narbonne. One of the vic-
tims was u soldier, while Iwo, father
and daughter, were killed in a cafe, the
iron shutters of which yore down.
The rioters cepturrol gmial Commis-
sary Dulest at Narhoa!te and are hold-
ing him as a hostage. Alt circulation on
Ih^_ street; is prohibited.
A despatch to the Petit Parisien from
Narbonne says the town hall square was
the scene of
A VEiJITABLE MASSACRE
al about 8 o'clock, resulting in six per-
sons being killed and many wounded.
One man who escaped told the` corres-
pondent that he was near the conal and
saw a crowd driving a detective along
with kicks and blows. With thirty
companions he succeeded in getting the
detective from the crowd. The chemists
being shut, they corned him to the
town hall, on the top steps of which
were two officers and many soldiers.
The man asked the captain to receive
tete wounded detective, whereupon an
order was given to the soldiers and they
lined up, ready to fire. The rescuers
were astounded and turned to flee, when
at least fifty snots were fired into •the
rescuers and the crowd following Iliem.
The military authorities at Narbonne
have taken the direction of everything.
Troops occupy every street and square.
Fresh troops are arriving (here from
Resters, Toulouse and Montauban.
From 10 o'clock until midnight Mont-
pelier was the scene of riot. Three re-
volver shots fired by unknown men be-
gan the disturbances, then Ihlt soldiers
charged in all directions, clearing the
streets around the prefecture and de-
molishing barricades. Nobody was
killed, but many fcrsons were wound.ol.
including a ,•. ,itenant.
IIOSTILITY TO CAVALRY.
The crowd's hostility to the ca\alty
began at the arrest of Ferroul, when
the cavalry roughly treated the crowd
accompanying the ex -Mayor's carriage.
Since then the hotels have declined to
receive cavalry ollieers for meals. The
butchers are ready to serve the infantry
na usual. but will not sell to the cavalry.
The feeling has become so strong that the
military authorities are not using the
cavalry, but are leaving all the work to
the foot soldiers.
Gen. Turcas upon leaving his hotel,
stopped to speak with some one on the
pavement. Ile was immediately sur-
rcundcd by n crowd which threatened
to throw him into u nearby canal. The
General gave his word of honor that the
cavalry should not go out, and he Was
allowed to Ieavo.
Among the victims in front of the
town hall were three men and a girl
aged 20 years. •
A despatch front Paris says: Like an
electric shock the news ran through
Paris about noon on Friday that a mil-
itary mutiny had been added to the
serious developments of The situation
in the wine -growing districts of the
south. The report that 300 men of the
17th itegiment of Infantry had in a
lolly marched out of the barracks and
jellied the peasantry was received rt
first with incredulous -iunazement, and
when soon after confirmed, with feel-
ings akin to anguish.
Before going the soldiers had pillaged
the armory and carried away with them
WO cartridges each. At first the mutin-
eers declared they were going to Nar-
Loone to kill the cuirassiers who had
charged the populace there, but finally
they marched through the night, with
drums and bugles playing at their head,
lu Beziers, where the majority of them
had been recruited. and where they ar-
rived at 6 on Friday morning. All
the officers remained at Aude. On ar-
rival al Beziers the mutineers endeav-
ored to turn the regiment which hod
replaced the Seventeenth out of bar -
rucks, but failing in this,.fhey appar-
ently carte to realize the gravity of the
act there oonunitted, and proposed to
return to Aude on condition that no
disciplinary measures were taken
against Ihent.
Cternenceau sent an immediate reply
that he accepted no conditions, and that
Ids colleagues -in the Cabinet fully ap-
proved of his action.

partment named Martineau appropriat-

TROOPS GIVING TROUBLE al
Kiev Mutiny Has Been Followed By '
Other Outbreaks.
A despatch frcin St. 1'elcrslurg rays:
Details of the mutiny of sappers at
Kiev show That it was only suppressed
after a bloody engagement at midnight,
June 17, between the mutineers and
loyal Coops. About seventy men were
killed or wounded.
'Tbe mutiny was planned to coincide
with a pxolitical strike, as a reply to
the dissolution of Parliament, involv-
ing the railreuds, telegraphs and -nails.
The decision of e.Kt revolutionary
staff here to refrain front demonstra-
tions was disobeyed by the hot-headed
sappers. At midnight, Juste 17, live
hundred nitro at a given signal left their
beds, disarmed the sentries, hurriedly
dressed, obtained possession of their
rifles, broke into an armory, secured
a number of loaded cartridges and then
matched to the camp square and tired
a volley in the air.
Iib•1•t.sLl) TO SUiRRENDEit.
The officer on duty, Captain Akuloff,
ran out and addressed the mutineers,
persuading them to disperse. Ile then
called out another battalion, drew the
teen up and led a charge on the mutin-
eers, ordering !hent to surrender. Upon
►heir refusal to do so, Captain Akutoff
e•rdered the troops to tire and fell dent
himself at the first volley: The fighting
ci ulinued fur several minutes. 11u11 :►
dozen soldiers were killed and ubeet
sixty wire wounded. Finally the mu-
tineers, who had no officers, no leaders
and no plans, waverer and fled. Two
hundred anti fifty were captured, but
193 eluded pursuit and hid in the city.

Military troubles have also broken
out among the troops of the third in-

getic officers in the 'Russian service,

after the receipt of a despatch to ttnka
charge of the garrison at Kaluga. No
information is available as to the nn -
lure of the trouble. The despatches of
the Associated Press from Kiev detail-
ing; the mutiny there were turned over
to the censor and held up for front
twelve to twenty-four hours before they
were delivered.

Stuart, the famous hockey player at
Ottawa. met an untimely death in this
city on Sunday afternoon between the
hours of 2 and 3 o'clock. In company
with some companions he visited the
wharf and decided to take a bath in the
Lay. After disrobing he dived off the
shoot and swam to the lighthouse, it
distance of about 100 yards. His com-
panions did not venture into the water.
Ilod," after sitting upon the landing
of the lighthouse for a few minutes,
dived off. and this was the last seen of
hint alive. Not rising, an alarm was
raised, and parties in a rowboat went
to the lighthouse and in about three
feet of water the unfortunate nein was
seen lying upon some rocks. .As quickly
a., possible, ssible, he was raised up and taken
on shore, but it was evident that life
was extinct. I)r. Yeomans was soon
upon the scene, and upon examination
discovered that the victim in diving
had struck his head upon the rocks,
causing a fracture of the skull and dis-

TERRIBLE FOREST FIRES.

A despatch from Ottawa says : !11r.
Colin Rankin, of Matlawa, who nrrived
in the city on Thursday, says the forest
fires are appalling in the Upper Ottawa
Valley. Sopte days the smoke is so'
dense as to darken the streets of Mat -
town, although the fires are many miles
away. Mr. Rankin tells of the great,
danger to life along the Montreal River..
Reports have reached Mallnwn of sten
having had very narrow escapes, so
sudden was the inroad of the flames on
the timber regions. The lumbermen who
own limits in the 'I'cmiskaming Distrieto
will lose enormously. The prolonged
dry season had suet' an effect on timberi
that it is almost impossible to save it. 1
Tho heavy rain of Wednesday night)
completely exlinguiahed the bush fires
which have been raging for the post,
week up the Parry Sound line. Tho
damage is nothing in comparison to the'
great area over which the fires swept.'
Between Mndatvnska and Whitney, for'
a considerable distance on each side of
Iha railway track, the lightly wooded
ground was burned clear. The heavy
ane! vahtahle timber limits farther back
from the right-of-way were precti '
untouched, the region destroyed bel l
mainly that which had been cut years
before and is now springing up again
in thick scrub. The St. Anthony Lumber
Company, J. R. itoolh and the (J.T.11,
