At Cote 8t. Paul, Near Montreal.
Telegraph despatch received by the
Ronald Works to -day from -Mr. Parson,
their general agent, from above town
says ; "Engine tested yesterday before
Mayor and Council and large assembly
of people. Gave splendid exhibition.
Council met same evening and resolved
on Ronald steamer. Waterous Engine in•
vitad to come but failed to appear."
They also gave an exhibition at Ayl•
mer, Que., ten miles above Ottawa, on
the way down with this engine. They
highly pleased all the mechanics, which
is likely to end ill another order shortly.
The Blenhehn engine was tested, giving
highest satisfaction and aooepbed two
weeks ago. Below Os what the ]Blenheim
paper of Oot. 16th says :—The engine
made steam rapidly and inside of
11 mintttee from the kindling of the fire,
!motor was being thrown 15 fent over the
top of the elevator which is over 100 feet
in beight. Another line of Those was
then attaohed and a minute later two
streams wore being thrown far over the.
elevator. This test was looked on with
snrprds° by !lucre who hod nover before
seen a steamer at !York, and many were
the encomiums passed on the neat, pre.
oise and quiet wtty in which the angina
did its work. Although a new machine
it worked like a °harm and gave every
appearance of being able to go on in-
definitely in the same way. The engine
was thou pulled down to the big !Utah be-
side the runway and 500 feet of tho new
Baker fabric loose Tadd out ; in 30 sea.
after starting this hose was fillers and
tooter being thrown, Through a Li inch
nozzle the main body of water twee
thrown 175 feat, while the furthest dies
tame recorded by Mayor ktnlbolland and
Clerk Gibson, who held the tope line,
was 206 foot. To those who had in
times peat helped to run the hand engine
this was almost marvellous. Next tho
engine was stopped, s, Siamese soupier
was pot on aid two 100 foot linos of the
Ohl luso wars attached to rho 500 feet of
mew, Throwing two streams through
and I Inuit nozzles, attaolied in this
manner•, water was thrown to a distance
of 138 feet. This work was all done with
o eboain pres.nre of 00 Ihu. The test was
onlinently satisfactory to all the town
olliciels, it ie dem,netrated that with
this engine and the 1000 feet of hose wo
now possess, almost every house in town
can be remelted with e good stream of
water In case of lire. Hurrah for the

WABnrwwTON, Oct, p, '91,
The October berm of rho Supreme
Court of the United Status which opens
next Monday is one of the most impor.
tent over held is all the history of that
great tribunal. In the first place the
number of oases, 305, is the largest on
docket at the beginning of a terns. There
has beet' a steady inorsase lo the number
of cases during many years, The organi-
zation of an intermediate court of ap-
peals has not yet abated the volume of
business before the Supreme Courb, it
having been too recent to have had such
!Afoot as will almost oortainly follow,
The Behring Sea Seyward case, the lot.
tery oases, the grain elevator ooze from
New York, and the three Oases involving
the constitutionality of the tariff Sob are
set for bha 17th and 19th instants, In
the interesting legal contention over the
last mentioned issue the MoKinley act is
assailed on the'ground that the hill never
passed the House and Senate as it was
signed by the President, Itis contended
that the bill which did pass both Houses
of Congress, and which included the
tobacco rebate, was never presented to
the President, as required by the Con.
etitution. The point involved is whether
the omission of an item from a bill
which had passed Congress vitiates the
legislation, the executive having ap-
proved the truncated bill.
The sixtieth annual report of the Com-
missioner of Indian Affairs is riot only
on interesting but an encouraging doou.
ment inasmuch as it expresses the con-
fident conviction that the present mode
of dealing with the Indians will result in
uplifting them onto the plane of at least
the elementary activities end reeponsi.
bilities of oivilized life. Commissioner
Morgan is of the opinion that the time
has come for putting an end to the folly
of making treaties with the tribes as
though they were independent nations.
Ho would have Congress declare that
hereafter their competency to make war
will not be recognized and that any at,
tempt of theirs to go on the warpath
will be supreeeed as any other iusnrrso'
tics or riot would be, mad that any par-
ticipants in such an attempt will be
punished like other disturbers of the
peace. He also suggests Hutt the five
civilized tribes should be enabled to form
either a Territorial or State Government,
and that they should be represented on
the floors of Congress. This would in-
volve their admission to and their enjoy-
ment of, all the rights of citizens of bbe
U. S. according to the principles of the
Constitution. Mr. Morgan believes !bat
the ultimate destruction of the entire
system of reservatioue is inevitable and
he insists that whatever the right and
title of the Indians on them may be they
must yield to the pressing demands of
civilization!.
There was considerable gossip started
among the politicians by the announce-
meet that Gen. Clarkson dined with the
President Tuesday evening. While there
has been no rupture between Mr. Her.
risen and Mr. Clarkson it has been un-
derstood for souse time that they were
not on the most cordial terms and it was
said that when Geu. Clarkson took the
plane of Mr. Quay as chairman of the
national executive oonlmittee it would be
run in praotioat antagonism to Air. Har-
rison. Ib has, however, been appareub of
late that Mr. Harrison has overcome the
antagonism of Gen. Clarkson as well es
that entertained by some other promi-
nent leaders. It is not supposed that the
menu was the most important thing dis-
cussed at table, and the foot of General
Clarkson being entertained at the White
House is acoepted as an indication that
they.are patching up their differences and
5otniog to an understanding for the
future of the party.
Inclement weather did not dampen the
enthusiasm or mar the success of Ger-

The report that Mr. Blaine has con-
sented to make throe speeches in Aiassa-
ahusobts was diaoountod in advance. He

setts, in Ohio, in losva, or even in Penn-
sylvania, the State of his nabivity. So
far as the present campaign is eoucorned
the men from Maine ie toot uninterested,
but ho is oortainly not "in it."
Ex•Senabor Blair onnounoos that his

Frain information reoeived by the
Moister of Agrioulture it is learned that
there is now a good demand for the two -

Canada, for shipment to the .English
market. The reports of the results of
last year's besting by brewers in England
have been very favorable and have
atvalcened general interest in the subject.

grain have been purchasing 1111ongh

districts in Ontario for the pilot two

so doing they will reduce the value of
both to that of Toed barley, A large pro-

Hos Jorn:oy Klut,eu !Lar. ---One of the
most touching iuoidsute that ooald well
be imagined occurred early Friday morn-
ing at the Union Station, Toronto. A.
man 41 years of ago, owned John Gal-
braith. atter having travelled nearly 5,-
000 miles in order that he !night roach
his home, died in a Grand Trunk passen-
ger oar when only 100 miles from the
plane where his cherished desire would
be realized. Those who witnessed the
scene ab the Union Station state it to
have been a most heartrending one. It
appears that many years ago Galbraith
left his home in St. Mary's and started
west to make his fortune. He crossed
the prairies and finally reached the Pad -
bo paean, For years he remained in
that country and was always mindful of
his mother and friends, After a time he
went north as far as Sitka, Alaska.
There he engaged in work, but after two
winters in that dreary land he discovered
that he was dying gradually of oonsump•
tion. He decided to start for home, his
only desire seeming to be that he might
see has mother. He wrote a letter to his
parents and started a few days later for
New Westminster. The journey from
Sitka down into B. C. was very weari-
some, but he pressed on and reached
Toronto at 4 o'clock Friday morning on
the North Bay brain,abeieg met by his
brother. They remained in the waiting
room at tine station until 7 o'clock, when
the brother, noticing his patient growing
very weak, suggested sending for the
ambulance. John insisted that he be
helped to the train bound for St. Marys,
which had just then bean made up. His
desire was acceded to, after which his
brother left hint and telephoned for the
ambulance, which arrived in a few min-
utes. The brother led the way to where
the sick man was sitting, but the ambu-
lance driver was etartied to find Haat the
body WKS limp and helpless. The broth-
er at this time did not know that he was
dead and rushed for a physician. The
thread of life, which had been stretched
to so great a tension, had finally broken
and the uufortanate man, whose upper-
most hope was that be might reaoh his
old home, was, beyond recall. The body
was given over to Young's undertaking
establishment, where it was embalmed,
and at 1 o'clock it was forwarded to St.
Mary's.
