A el. spatel► from St. Petersburg; says:
1�•. eel; .,t the mutiny of sappers at
Kiev show that it was only suppressed
after a bloody engagement at midnight,
June 17, bel►veeu the mutineers and
loyal troop& About seventy men were
killed or wounded.
The mutiny was planned to coincide
with a political strike, as a reply to
the dissolution of Parliament, involy-
In the railroads, telegraphs and mails.
The decision of e.\>, revolutionary
slat! hero to refrain from denxornstra-
llons was disobeyed by the hot-headed
sappers. At midnight, June 17, five
tundred sten at a gi►en signal left their
Leda, disarmed the s•nullies, hurriedly
dressed, obtained pos.3es.sion of their
biles, broke into nn armory, secured
u number of loaded cartridges and then
marched to the camp .~quare and fired
* volley in the air.
REFUSED TO SURRENDER.
Ttte officer on duty, Captain Akuloff,
ran out and addressed the mutineers,
persuading them to di-petse. He then
called out another battalion, drew the
Oren up and led n cherge on the mutin-
eers, ordering them to Surrender. Upon
their refusal to do so, Captain Akulofl
ordered the troops lo fire and fell dead
h.m. elf at the first volley. The fighting
continued for several minute.. Half a
d.�zen suldier' were tidied and about
sixty were wounded. Finally the mu-
tineers, who bad no officers, no leaders
and no plans, wavered and fled. Two
hundred and fifty were captured, but
193 eluded pursuit and hid in the city.
TROUBLE AT KALUGA.
Military troubles have also broken
out among the troops of the third In-
fantry division, stationed at Kaluga.
General Orloff, the suppressor of the
Insurrection In the Baltic Provinces,
find regarded as one of the most ener-
getic oflioers in the Russian service,
lett St. Petersburg hurriedly the night
after the receipt of a despatch to take
charge of the garrison at Kaluga. No
information Is available as to the na-
ture 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 from
twelve to twenty-four hours before they
Lure delivered.
\Vholesale arrests continue in St.
Petersburg.
MOTOR ENGINES VOR ROCKIES.

Installation.
A despatch from Winnipeg Hays: Sir
Thomas Shaughnessy, president of the
Canadian Pacific Railway, says the
company is considering the introduc-
tion of electric engines in the Rocky
Moun to ins
In an interview here on Wednesday.
ha. said: "We have not yet definitely de-
cided to place the electric loo,rt:')live
anywhere along the line, but if we do
install them soon, it will be at the
points of British Columbia, where the
heavy grades are. The estimates fienn
the tests so far made, show very little
difference between electric and stearal,
tvith our present volume of traffic. 'fhe
electric loc unotive is slightly nsore ex-
pensive, but, of course, with an increase
it lrallic the difference would be in
favor of the electric locomotive. I teink
we have a suflicient water supply to
generale alt the power that we would
need in the event of inaugurating the
electric system."

FOREST FIRES.
Telegraphic. Communication is Entirety
Cut Off.
A dcsi ateh from Fort William, Ont.,
says: From all over the district reports
of the great destruction of property by
tlw bush tires which are raging in every
section aro louring in and the losses aro
now reaching astonishing proportions.
The fire is now not more than twenty
nines from this city and the frontes of
two settlers, Robins and Playfair, resid-
ing at Slnte. Inver close to town were on
Tuesday tottilly destroyed, the owners
getting out with barely their clothes on
their barns,. They aro in great want,
and the local relief society are now sup-
plying them t►•ith cloth's.
Practically all telegraphic coMrntinica-
lion has been cut off 1ev reason of the
burning of telegraph poles. Greer Bros.,
the contractors of this place, lost 20,000
ties by fire which swept out one of their
camps Inst week.
TEiRRIBLE FOREST FIRES.
Conditions Ann Appalling in the Upper
Ottawa Valley.
A despatch from Ottawa says : Mr.
('.olin Rankin, of Mattawa, who arrived
in the city on 'Thursday, says the forest
Arcs are appalling in the Upper Ottawa
Valley. Some days the smoke is so
dense as to darken the streele of Mat-
tawa, although the tires aro many miles
away. Mr. Rankin tells of the great
danger to lite along the Montreal River.
Reports have reached Mattawa of filen
having tiad very narrow escapee, so
sudden was the inroad of the flames on
the timber regions. The luntbernten who
own limits in the Temiskarning District
will lose enormously. Tho prolonged
dry season Itad snail an effect on timber
that it is almost impossible to save it.
The heavy rain of \Vedneeday night
completely extinguished the bush fires
which have been raging for the pryst
week up the Parry Sound line. The
damage is nothing in comparison to the
great area over which the fires swept.'
Between Madawaska and Whitney, for
u considerable distance on each side of
the railway track, the lightly wooded
ground was burned clear. The Heavy
and valuable timber limits farther back
from the right-of-way were practically
untouched, the region de;itoyed being
mainly that which had been cut years
before and is now springing up again
in thick scrub. The St. Anthony Lumber
Company, J. 11. Booth and the G.T.il.
have the rights to the territory swept.
A GERMAN'S Shi(;IDE.
Put Muzzle to Head and Touched Trig-
ger With Foot.
A despatch from Winnipeg says: A
(;ernran named Ctiris Ve'got, 1 i king at
chopping limber about eight miles east
of heel Deer, committed suicide by plac-
ing the !nuzzle of a gun next his herd
and pulling the trigger with his foot.
Ile was said to be under the influence
of liquor. At an inquest held by (;or-
cner O011ison on Tuesday afternoon the
jury returned a verdict of suicide.

THE FAMINE. IN CHINA
Unless Rice Crop Is Large the Need
for ReIIef Will Continue.
A despatch from London says: "Thou-
sands must die in the famine district of
China before aid can mach them," Cap-
tain Henry Leonard, military attache of
the American Legation at Pekin, said on
Tuesday, adding :—"The people of the
Yangtzekiang Valley, ever since the
Heeds dentr(oyed their last crop, have
been subsisting on grass and the bark
of trees, the dogs and cats being too
emaciated to eat. The suffering in that
district is indescribable. It was quite
evident when I left Pekin that the hopes
everybody in China cherished that food
would arrive in the famine district in
lime to prevent appalling las of life
would not be realized. Contributiotss
had begun to arrive, but it was plain
that it would be inrcoebible to place
suflicient supplies %•here they were
needed to save all who were perishing
from hunger.
"It is not too late, however, for the
charitably inclined to do a vast amount
of good for these suffering Chinese. Un-
less the next rico crop, duo in July, is
large, the condition of tie wretched
population will be ►:uch as to require a
vast amount of outside aid. The danger
that threatens the crop lies in the liabil-
ity of the \'angtzekiang to overflow its
banks. The river is so erratic this year
that a comparatively entail downpour of
rain would cause a flood."

and Roman Catholic population. Judg•
ing from the wonderful natural increase

wives and mothers to the northwest'
settlers is all that is necessary for the
early establishment of an equally popu•

TIIE NORTHWEST SETTLERS
are only too anxious to fall in with 14
desires of their priests in the matter of
marriage. The lack of marriageable
women in the Northwest Territories .
cannot bo obviated by any efforts n/
their own. They cannot afford the
time, even 1f they could spare the
means, to pay a visit to the province'
of Quebec to select wives for themselves.
But ttiey are prepared to do so to a
certain extent, by proxy. Provided s
sufllciently large assortment is brought'
to their doors to afford them some lila
too chance for selection, they aro pre-
pared to depute their priests to do the
rest. The scheme has been discussed in
the French-Canadian newspapers and
the first party of candidates for matri-
mony will probably leave Quebec for
Calgary in a few weeks.
The apparent novelty of the scheme
has drawn down upttltt it a large amount
of ridicule. 'those who are encourag-
ing it argue that it not only does not
savor of any impropriety, but also that
not even the charge of novelly can Its

FiRENCH SETTLERS 1N CANADA.
Under the fostering care of Colbert,
Lenuis XIV.'s great Minister of Finance
and of the colonies, girls were taken
from the houses of refuge of Parts and
Lyons and sent out to Canada as pros-
pective wives for the settlers. Mother
Mario de 1'Incarnation wrote In 1665
that a hundred lead come that summer
and were nearly all provided with hus-
bands and that. 200 more were to come
the following year. In 1672 Count Fron-
tenac, the Governor of Canada, wrote
horse to Paris complaining of (ho scar-
city of the supply of young women sent
out from France.
"11 150 iris end as many servants,"
he said, 'had been sent out this year
they would all have found husbands
and plasters within a month."
After some of the young women had
leen married at Quebec it was found
that they had husbands at home. The
priests became cautious In tying the
matrimonial onial knot and Colbert thereup•
en ordered that each girl should pro -
Nide herself with a certificate front the

two and a quarter centuries ago, these

Considering the loud call for wives int
