'Tat stories told by those who have visited the World's Pair are not reassur- ing. One vllloial connected with the Canadian department, who has been pay ing 610 a day fur very inferior accom- modation, has been notified that after next week he will have to pay $20 a day. Any kind of a lunch on the grounds coats from 61.10 to $2, while a dinner makes a 85 bill look very ill indeed. NOTWITIISTANDING the opposition of some of the miners' organizations to such a measure the British Parliament, with Mr. Gladetote's approval, bas pass. ed a bill making eight boars a working day for miners. In his speech in sup- port of the bill the premier reserved the right to withhold its application to Northumberland and Darham,the miners of those conuties having expressed them- selves against the enactment of compul- sory legislation governing the hours of labor. The bill is strongly supported by the British Miners' federation. AT the Looal Legislature feat Friday A. Bishop, 111. P. P., for South Huron, spoke well in advocating the favorable consideration of his bill to amend the municipal act, which was up for a seoond reading, and which abolished the provis- ion of the act making bridges 100 feet long on township boundaries a charge on the county. Strong opposition to the bill was developed during the debate which followed. It was pointed out that a compromise en this subject had been arrived at last session and that it would be unwise to disturb it until it had been given a fair trial. Mr. Bishop was urged by Mr. Fraser and others to with- draw itis bill, but as the representative of the people of Ilurot be felt it was his duty to press it. The bill was declared "lost on a division." Tanen is quite a commotion in London, Ontario, just now over the recent trial of Burk and Wilson, the murderers of De- tective Phair. At the trial there was a missing link in the evidence as to whether Phair saw Bark commit any offence for which he should have been arrested. This not being forthcoming the prisoners were convicted of manslaughter and sen- tenced to 12 years each in the Kingston penitentiary. It now turns out that Jam. Keary, Police Court Clerk, told George Fates that he could have given evidence that would have hung both Burk and Wilson as he (Teary) was along with Phair at the time and sate the offence committed. Although attending the mum" was Teary's name and as a trial Teary 's Juetice was cheated end two murderers escaped. Teary has been suepeurlerl in the meantime pending an investigation by the City Connell. Tnn friends of the IV eotnmaudtneut scored another victory at the Columbian Fair last Sunday, when the Fair gates were closed against the orowds of visitors who sought admission. It is said that mare people went down and looked for. lornly at the closed gates last Sunday than have been inside the enclosure on any day since the opening. Excursion parties, numbering several thousand nme front Illinois and Wisconsin towns and insisted upon entering and upon being refused they became so boisterous that the gate keeper had to telegraph for the police, who succeeded in diapers. ing the crowds of disappointed Sunday sightseers. It appears, however that a large force of workmen were employed throughout Sauday inside the Fair grounds in roadtnaki ng and other labor - ons occupations. Ass order in council was passed on April 2.3 adopting a test case for reference to the supremo Court of Canada, embody. ing the questions at issue under the np• peal of the Roman Catholics minority for "remedial legislateon" against the .Mani. tobtt Act of 1800 abolishing separate schools. The questions raise no new point, They cover the following :—Do the educational clams of the British North American Act of 1867 apply to Manitoba; has the government power to make a remedial order anyway : does the judgment of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council exolude redress eon. earning privileges accorded the minorty since the Federal Government warranted under the oiroumstances, Those strip- ped of verbeage are in effect the nature of the questions to bo submitted to the Sap - tome Court Why theyere not sub. w tnfttell at the present session of the aonrt it would bo hard for any but politisiane debiting delay to explain, As it is the Supreme Court will not meet again until the fall and cannot deliver judgment until the following term, in Febrnary, 1801, and the wart; may possibly throw it over until the May term of 1801, so that Par. !lament next session stands a ohauae of being no wiser than it was last session upon this subjoins Tun plebiscite vote will be taken next Tauuary on the question of ascertaining the opinion of the °looters of Ontario on the question of Prohibition. The vote particulars will be about as follows :— First, as to qualification of voters, this will include all who were entitled to vote for the Legislative Assembly, as well as municipal voters, embracing woolen and spinsters. Second, the ballot papers will he separate, yellow for meat, blue for women. This would avoid ooufnsion and render it easier to count and record votes. Third, the clerk of the municipality is authorized to appoint two agents on eaob side to attend the various polling places and look after the interests of their party. Fourth, the returning officer shall send to the clerk of the municipality a statement of the total number of voters for the Legislative Assembly, the total number of women entitled to vote, the total number of 111011 who have voted, the total number of women who have voted. From this it will be easy to ascertain the relative strength of the vote polled. Fifth, the expenses of the vote shall bo borne by the municipal councils con- cerned. Sixth, in addition to the directions ordinarily given to voters at municipal elections this statement shall be added "The elector voting yes on this question shall be considered as expressing an opinion in favor of prohibition to the extent to which the Legislative Assembly of this Province shall have jurisdiction as may be determined by the court of final resort. Etirsnos Wimasar and the German militarists have received a serious set- back through the defeat of Chancellor Von Caprivi's new military bill, which proposed to increase the strength of the army and the outlay for war purposes. The bill was thrown out by the Reichstag on Saturday by a vote of 210 to 162, and as this was virtually a declaration of nonconfidence by the German parlia- ment in the chancellor and his policy, the emperor has signed an edict dissolv- ing the Reichstag and ordering a new election. The campaign will bo an ex. citing one, as the defeat of the army bill, despite the efforts of the Kaiser to secure its passage, indicate a strong and earnest feeling against militarism among the German people and ; the outcome of the constitute conflict between the masses and the militarists willl be awaited with interest by the whole world. 0f course the fear of France and the necessity of being prepared for a possible French in- vasion will be the main arguments of. Von Caprivi and the Imperialist party in favor of their policy of keeping millions of men in idleness without necessity, and making every German workingman go to his labor "with a soldier upon his back," but the work of education the masses to the wickedness and uselessness of west- ing vast sums of money and impoverish• ing the people for the empty purpose of "maintaining military prestige," has beau pushed forward energetically during recent years, and the emperor's policy is likely to be defeated at the polls as well as in the Reioltstag.

She was in Denver a few days ago with her broker, who offered to wager a few thousand dol. lot's on her. Miss Hutchison lives on an immense ranch and is constantly in the saddle. She is also a Sunday school teacher. In China there is a profession for ladies, strange, because openly and hand- somely remunerated in the current coin of the realm.

A train load of Zulus bound . for the World's Fair gave a railroad train crew and a squad of Chicago polka a lively experience on Wednesday morning of last week. The first heard of the affair was when Police Lieut. Creighton re- ceived a telegram saying that 200 savages had captured an inbound train near Grand Crossing and had imprisoned the Mailmen. A wagon load of bluecoabs met the train at Sixty-first street. They found Conductor Brown and Itis brake. man imprisoned in the baggage car, while 200 Zulus had possession of the train. Th an their es claimed that one of The savages number had lost some property, and they were holcling the conductor responsible. Lieut. Creighton, after much excited palaver, quieted the Zulus and resumed the imprisoned railway employees. The Zulus were then quickly transferred to the fair grounds. Callas. die. ve'kg. Miss Evelyn Galt, fourth daughter of Sir Alexander Galt, was married at Most• treat on Friday of last week to R. R. Spraggett, of Fort McLeod, N. W. T. On Sunday a boy named Barrett, walking along the G. T. R. dock, Goderioh, slipped and fell into the harbor.

Irving, near Glenmorris, made a murderous attack upon his wife, who had just arrived from Sarnia, with a razor, on Saturday after• noon, nutting her on the fuao, nook and hands in a terrible manner. They were alone in a field at tbo time, and had it not been for her °ries, which brought a neighboring fanner to her assistance, Mrs. Sullivan would have been killed, A doctor from Galt was sent for, who pronottnaed the wounds very dangerous. Sullivan, who is well (mown around Galt and Glenmorris, and who has ibe rspu• Cation of being a gnietand harmless man, was jailed. It appears Sullivan and his wife quarrelled so often that a separation took place, Mrs. Sullivan going to Sarnia to live, it is said, with another man, sending their three children to a house of refuge. Lately Sullivan, who cannot read or write, got a friend to write a lot. ter for him to his wife, asking her to come bank ; that he ]red 615 to give her to ergot a tombstone over the grave of one of the children, and he also instruct. ed Mrs. Irving to send Mrs, Sullivan out in the field where he was working when she nrrivsd from Sarnia.

Mr. Foster told a reporter that before the Prohibition Cammissison con - elude their labors (having yet to sit in Ontario) they will visit several places in the United States where the liquor laws are of a prohibitory character. The ease of Huson vs. the Township of Norwich was taken up in the Supreme Court, Ottawa, nn Tuesday. This ease involves the question as to whether the Province enjoys the right oouoorrsntly with the Dominion to probibib the sale of liquor, or if the right belouge alone to the Federal authority. In view of the recent debate and defeat of the Martyr bill in the Ontario Legislature, fresh n directed t interest has been ward this 0 case, A by-law was passed by the town- ship of Norwich; under the provision of an act of the Ontario Legislature of 1800, for the purpose of prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquor. The Province con- tends that the municipalities had this power at the date of Confederation, and that the British North Atneriean Aot retained to the munioipalities all the powers they had iu this regard. The contention oftheopponents of the not is that this power was taken away by the British North American Act, the question being one of trade and corn. merge, and vested exclusively in the Do• minion Government. Huson, a rate. payer in the township, moved that the bylaw be quashed before Sir Thomas Galt. Judgment was given to quash the by-law. The Oourt of Appeal reversed the decision and uphold the by-law as being the rights of the municipality. From this judgment an appeal was made to the Supreme Court. A. Dnvsrent and A. C. Galt, of Toronto, represent the ass. pelant, Huson and 3. J. McLaren, Q. 0., and Mr. Titus appear for the respon- dent, the township of Norwich. POPULAR (STALLIONS.
