Kinsman was appointed policeman on the casting vote of Mayor Dawson; last even- ing he was dismissed ou the casting vote of the same gentleman!

All reports agree that the Queen was | deeply ‘moved by Sir John Thompson’s death. Sir Charles Tupper was summoned to Windsor by a special courier. He ar- | rived at 7 in the evening and rode directiy to the castle, where he was at once receiy- el by the Queen, and had a long audience. |

The Marquis of Breada!bane made this | statement: “I travelled from Paddington to Windsor with Sir John Thompson: fle appeared to be all right then and afterwards at the meeting. After being sworn in-he ret-red to the lun- While we were sitting there One of the servants

I believe that he to!ld Dr. Reid that he had had pains in h’s chest. The cause of death was undoubtedly a sudden failure of the heart’s action. It is stated that Dr. Reid gave a certificate of death from syncope. Therefore, no inquest will likely be male.

Orrawa, Dee. 13.

When the first excitement of the sad news had died away, the members cf the late Government in town (for by the dezth of Sir John Thompson the ministry ipso ¥icto is dissolved) met in the Council Chamber. There were present: Acting Premier Bewell, Costigan, Foster, Daly and Ives. Mr. Bowell had, early in the afternoon, telegraphed to all his col!eagues asking them to return to the capital as speedily as possible. * Sir C. H. Tupper gannot be home for five days. The mini- sters considered what ehould be done in regard to the funeral, and it was decide, subject to Lady Thompson’s wishes,

-#hould be given a state funeral. The High Commissioner was cabled to have the body.sent to Ottawa, via New York. The remains will probabty leave Liver- pool to-day. He will lie in state here and then be conveyed to Halifax for inter- | ment in the family burial plot. This is | in accordance with tol Thompson's | wish.
