attempts upon the Tuareg>, driving them backward and killing a number of them, but the French troops were harassed and became thoroughly exhausted with work, day and night, and being compelled to be continually on the alert in order to be ready for seme new attack, especially at night time, when the Tuaregs were active and audacious.

native soldiers managed to hold out while awaiting the arrival of the relief column, commanded by Colonel Jefferey. When Capt. Phillipe was informed by native me-sengers that the Jetferey column was on its way to relieve him, he sent a mes- renger to Col. Jetferey to warn him that

CIVIC ELECTION, The Figures Up to Half-past Two O’cleck this Afternoon,

Tue Civic Election is in progress to-day. As the Councillors were all elected by acclamation on Wednesday last, the test to-day is for the Mayoralty and the Water Commissionership only. The in- terest in the election is, therefore, not so great as it would be if there was an elec tion for Councillors, and the vote polled is comparatively small. The poll opened at nine o'clock this morning and will close at five this afternoon. Below is the result up to half-past two: —

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

ddan THE REASON WHY. Sir,—I clip the following from the Royal Gazette of this Province : Execvrive Covnct., Prince Edward Island, 2nd January, 1894. His Honor the Lieutenant-Governor in Council has been pleased to reappoint Archibald Kennedy, Esquire, a member of the Board of School Frcatiee: for the City of Charlottetown, his term of office having expired on the Third Tuesday in June last ARTHUR NEWBERY, Clerk Executive Council. Would Premier Peters kindly inform the public why this appointment was held | over for six months? Surely this is not another evidence of the prostitution of the Education Department of the Government to political exigencies! The denouement when it comes, not only of this, but of hundreds of other acts of the machine, will be w day of revelation for grit and tory alike. Peters & Peters are equal to | any emergency.

MOCK PARLIAMENT AT EMERALD.

Sixr,—-The establishment of the above

institution at Emerald is one which has encountered a marked degree of success.

When the weather and travelling are fav- orable, the meetings on Thursday even- ings are largely attended. The interest evinced by all in connection with the or- ganization has been such, that Thursday | night is now looked upon as an evening of | profitable amusement and valuable in- | struction. The discussion, so far, on the i | | | i | j | |

public questions of the day, have been up to the standard and creditably reflect on Prohib- system, the

therein, school

those who participate ition, remodelling of the free trade, etc., are among some of very important questions that have en- gaged the attention of the members. On last night of meeting a bill to amend our present educational system,was introduced by Mr. Angus Rose, leader of the Govern- ment. This proved a suitable o for a keen and interesting debate,ir which the members present took an active part. Next night of meeting, a bill having for its mission the extension of the franchise will be submitted to the house. As the success and the maintenance of the above organization depends upon the enthusiasm diaplayed and the interest evinced by_ the members, a full attendance of the same is earnestly requested. Close observance of and strict adherence tothis rule will place

us all in a position to reap the many ad- | vantages that can be derived from such | an institution. i CG: PERSONAL.

The consecrating prelate was Bishop Neely, of Maine, and the co-consecrators were Bishops Niles, of New Hampshire. Coleman, of Deleware, Grafton, of Fond du Lac, Lawrence, of Mascachusett«, and His Grace Archbishop Lewis, of Ontario. The Bishop of Dele- ware was the preacher. Previous to leaving England Bishop Hal! was presented with an illuminsted address and a cheque for £150 stg., which had been subscribed in small amounts in parishes throughout the country where he as “Father” Hall, had conducted missions.

Terriste Tae or Svrrertc.—To- wards the end of last month, a young man of the name of Soire, with two compan- ians, was chopping wood in the forests of the River Pentecost, on the north shore. In crossing the lake they got their feet wet, and, as the eold was intense at the time, frozen subsequently. His two com- panions succeeded with great difficulty in making their way to the nearest village, but Siore got lost in the bush and was not recovered till the next day, when four men setting out to look for him found him ina state of insensibility at the foot of a tree and brought him in. All three were so badly frozen that the amputation of their feet will be found necessary, but the near- est doctor, who has been sent for resides at Esquimaux Point, a distance of between 90 and 100 miles, and may not arrive _be- fore gangrene sets in, in which case the heroic method of amputation with an axe will have to be resorted to as the last

GENERAL TELEGRAPHIC NEWS.

Panis, Feb. 9.—The Temps has a des- patch from Constantinople which says Alexander W. Tyrell, U.S. minister, de- manded the immediate liberation of two Armenians, American citizens, imprisoned in Inkanderun, Northern Syria. He threatened in the event of a refrsal, ‘o send an ironclad to Inkanderun. Serious riots occurred in the Angora district and 200 cavalry started from Constantinople for Ynsgat. The population of Amassa on Yeshit Irmak broke into the jail re-

and freed several Armenian

cities. ‘ The authorities arrested many persons, including 17 Mussulmens who plotted to massacre Christians.

Burrato, N. Y., Feb. 9.—As a result of a conference between Superintendent Van Etten and Division Master Ross, of the New York Central Railroad, this week, a large corps of employes have been laid off temporarily here. This includes clerks, operators, freight-handlers, switch- men and yard employes. Running ex- penses have thereby been cut down $1,900 a month at this point. Reductions are be- ing made all along the line.

Nasuvitie, Tenn., Feb. 9—The Cumb- erland river in Booning has already reached the danger line. During the past 24 hours nearly three inches of water fell. Lowlands around the city are flooded and hundreds of families are moving their effects to higher grounds. The water invaded the country pest houses and a number of small pox patients were carried to-day to New Orleans. The danger line is forty feet. The Weather Bureau officials _pre- dict that the water will soon reach 45 feet.

Barsovrvitte, Ky., Feb. 9—On Lea therwood Creek, Cumberland Co., Wed- nesday night, three men entered the house of James Clayton, who does not believe in banks. After gagging the family, they fired pistols close to Clayten’s head, chok- ed him and burned him with hot stones, and finally placed his feet in the fire, holding them there until they were burn- ed to a crisp. This conquered Clayton, who told where his money was. The rob- bers got $1,800 and escaped on three of Clayton’s horses. Clayton will probably die.

Pirrsscre, Pa., Feb 9.—U. S. Engin- eer Wm. S. Punck, who conducted the survey for the International Railroad through Mex‘co and the South American States, has finished his report after eight months of hard labor. The estimated cost of the railroad and bridges is $22,000,000. This of course does not include the road. It will require 10 years to complete the road.

Toroxto, Feb.?.—The preliminary in- vestigation into the charge of conspiracy tomurder Walter Evans, a Sharon, Cork County hotel keeper, which has been go- ring on here the last two or three days was concluded this’ evening. Mrs. Lottie Evén’s the victim’s wife, a handsome woman of 35 years of age, and George Osman, of Sharon, were all committed for trial. Evidence of a most damaging character against’) Mre. Evans and the other prisoner was brought out, showing that they had repeatedly tried to poison Evans by mixing strychine with his food. Evans had been very ill for some time but eventually recovered.
