Father Minehan, The Globe hs been eerved with no- tice of action far libel. The stat- - , rent eomplained of te ae follow— Rev. Mr. Atlae eaya that Father Minehan, of Toronto, stirred up the fereign element against him, and ob- tained mea who were willing to ;wear to his obtaining fonds illegally from a Turkieh estaoe left in his charge. "The alacedoalan minister scared some guards of the penitentiary for opening his correspondence alter it had. passed the Warden's office and forwarding the gist of its couteots to Vather Minehan." Before this notice had been receiv- ed er any information had been ob- tained by The Globe that proceedings were possible, the followieg editor- ial note had been published in The "The Globe wiehea to dissociete it- self from the wild statement of the Rev. G. M. Attar?, published in its news columem yesterday in. the form Of an interview at Kingston. No one who know a anything about Father Minehan, a citizen who has behind him a lifetime of good worke, from which both Protestant and Catholic have benefited, will believe the ae- eertion that he stirred up the foreign element ageinst Atlas, and obtained. men who were willing to swear to his obtaining funds illegally." The item complained, of came to The Globe from Kingston as a regue lar paese despatch. In substance, if,. not. in form, the same despatch ap- peared an newspapers .all over the.. country. This, however, does not leemen Father Minehan's grievance, The Globe has no desire to associate iteelf in. any way with the statement of Mr. Atlas, and desires to express its most sincere regret that that state- ment found a. place in Rs celunine. The Globe is informed and believes that Father Minehan evae not con- sulted by the Toronto police de - pertinent as to the witnessee to be: called in the Atlas case,andhad noth- ing whatsoever to do with the obtain- ing of the witneeses called in that ease. Nor has The Globe any in- formation that warrants in the re- motest way the statement that, the correspondence of Atlas, was im- properly opened or that the gist of its contents was forwarded to Father Minehan. Father Minehan is too well known in Toronto to be injured in character or reputation by any etaternent of the Rev. G. M. Atka. ATLAS GETS FROM UNDER. Rev. G. M.

What I said and believe most sincere- ly is that I have been the victim of .Romish persecution, and the contro- versy between Father. Minehan and myself with reference to the "Holy Ae' had stirred up the Catholic for- eigners in this °ley against me, and that alien were obtained to give this false evidence.

Henry Hughes and Edward Goby Lose Life Off Sunnyside.

Both men, who were firm friends for many years, engaged a small boat frora Mr. Walter Dean at Sunnyside about 4.10 o'clock on Saturday afternoon and went for a row. That was the last seen of them. The boat was half full of water, the oars were lying in the water alongside of it, and in the little vessel were two coats and a hat, Mr. Goby was a machinist employed by the Massey -Harris Company, and was in Canada about four years. His former home was in Essex, England, where he has relatives. Mr. Hughes was born in the Island of Jersey, and he came to Canada about six years ago. *ea - THANKS TO MR. BUSCH •••••••1.

At Fontainbleu the drought was responsible for the spread of a fire, which broke mit ie the most picturesque peat of the forest, fifteen acres of which were destroyed. The• garrison troops were called out and sueceded in getting this, fire under control, when a more ser - bus outbreak :veined around Satance Rocks, The fire burned over about 1,- 500'acres, and kept the troops busy all night, before they eileceetled in getting the .fire under control.

Paris, july 24.—Opinion in France is that the time has arrived for Germany to say what she really wants, since the present situation of uncertainty is now entering upon e stage which may ac- tually disturbe international relations. Officially the Foreign Office had noth- ino to say. to -day concerning the pessis- mrstie talk except that conversations continue between Baron Vain Kiderlin Waerhter ,the German Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and Jules Cambon, the Prpnelt Ambassador at Berlih, upon possible solutions. Unofficially hints appear in the prees that the time is arriving when the fu- tility of the conversations are obvious to optimistic observers. Meantime the speech of David Lloyd - George, the British Chancellor, before the London bankers last week, is in- terpreted as a direct warning to Ger- many, and is considered as having en- ormously strengthened the attitude of France, which will not accept any Ger- man proposal nor a wholesale turning over of French colonial territory. The press is unanimous in its opin- ion that Lloyd -George's words signify that the British -Franco entente is real- ly an alliance with which Germany muse reckon. Russia natarally is expect- ed to throw her influence with the two members of theInternational agreement which the world calls the tri- ple entente. Although the prees remains calm there is a distinct tendency to re-em- phasize Germany's niamier of forcing the negotiatiods as "brutal" and the Temps, which is in close relations with Gueriomp eaan the government,a. .de. claree succinctly phoawselross.t the confidente of e COSTLY FUNERALS.

"How was it that a certificate was grantect in the face of that?" inquired the Magistrate. "That's a question," answered Mr. Laidlaw, who shrugged his elmulders. "How did you come to withdraw the action?" asked the .Magistrate. Mn Laidlaw explained that he went to the Assizes at North llay, and due - hie absence some person paid baoh the money to his clients and agreed to hand back the notes.

"The Finance Department could easily have checked the names of your clients by the subscription lists?" queried Mr. Corley. hYeould have," replied Mr. Laid - it was next tried to ascertain who sent a letter to the Department of Fi- nance saying the action was withdrawn. Mr. Laidlaw said he did not recollect having verittea it. At this point Mr. Travers, who -had elosely followed the proceedings, step- ped forward and said (hat the letter was written in the office of Mr. Wat- son. It told of the ending of the .pro- ceeding against the defendants and. it was signed by Mr. Laidlaw. Mr. Laidlaw could not ree.all this let- ter. "His communicatiop,"she thought, 'was merely a statement to the depart- ment Mit his clients had received a set- tlement from the bank!' "If Travers and Liudsay sent the list , containing the names of your clients to the Minister of Finance that would be obtaining the certificate by fraudulent means?" askeemr. Corley. "Certainly," was the answer. Mr. Laidlaw was hauded -the list In question and he identified the names of Helen McLean, John Sproatt, John McLeod, Robert Hume, James Mur- ray, Findlay McCullough (since de- ecleiaesnetds). is' W. .A. Divot, William McLean George Castle and G. Denoon as h Two lettere from Mr. Leighton Me - earthy, which whom Mr. Laidlaw was then associated, to the Minister of Fi- wawa were read. The first told 01 the doubt of many of his clients that -their subscriptions were bonn fide, and staked the liinieter of Finance to delay the granting of the charter of the Farmers Bank pending the receipt of further in- formation. The second letter relating to this affair said: "I ani advised by those instructing me that theclaims made by them in the action breught have been settled by their subscriptions being taken up by some parties inter- ested in the bank and refunding the monea, paid by the individuals or re- turning the notes which have been given. The objections which I made on. their behalf to the issue of the certificate are therefor withdrawn." In conclusion, the letter asked the Minister to return some papers which were forwarded to him. "There is a subscription of $50,000 stock mentioned in this not opposite the nseannited. o of W. J. Lindsayat -remarked Mr. Laidlaw.' "This sum about equals the total amount originally inveated by the Halton County people flat I repre- Mr. Corley .remarked that Mr. Laid- law was acting for some of the share- holders in an effort to relieve them from the double liability. "Have yen found au3r more of this kind of thing during your inquiry'?" asked Mr. Cor- ley. Mr. Laidlaw answered that each, ease had its own story.Almost, every one had lie involved defence.

The 'Magistrate said that thie would be expensive, but Mr. Corley an- swered that a lot of money was lost through the mismanagement and man- ipulation of the affairs of the 'beak. Its fended that the other eases would be similar to those that have tome in. Mr, Laidlaw emitted out that about 800 names were on the lid of the li- quidator and tbat service wouldhe made during vacation.
