THE nomination of Mr. Robert A. Chap-

man to oppose Sir A. J. Smith in West- moreland is announced. For a year past there have been doubts as to the election of Sir A. J. Smith, and it was unwise in the (Grits to announce that he would be elected by acclamation. * On Wednesday afternoon the orangemen arrested in Montreal at the instance of Mayor Beaudry were brought before the Police Magistrate. After the case was called the counsel on both sides agreed to have it adjourned until Tnesday next, with a.view of submitting it to the Privy Council without delay.

* ApMiTtinG—as the Patriot asserts—that our compositor did omit the word *‘ not” from the Telegraph's report of the Grit meeting in St. John, and that the quotation should have read “not afew of the audi- ence heard the disevssion patiently to the end,” we doe not see that the significance of the passage was changed. The fact that the Telegraph was at pains to state that ‘not a few remained,” indicates that many thoueht so little of the Grit cause and the Grit candidates that they left. The fuss the Puéviot makes about the’ inadvertent omission of the word ‘‘not” shows that the Patriot ia not very sanguine about the St. John election.

Ati the men, women avd children resid- ing east of Weymouth Street and south of Sydney Street congregated on ‘Hell Street” this forenoon and witnessed the livelist ‘“‘sett-to” that ever occured in that part, between two females, both of whom were gloriously drunk on the occasion. ‘The dis- turbance arose on the appearance of a Mrs. MeD., who oceassionally pays a flying visit to the vicinity, and for whom Mrs. F. has no small quota of dislike.

in the House of Commons this afternoon

the debate on Lord Hartington’s resolution was resumed, Sir Statford Northcote, reply- ing to Mr. Faweett, said he could not promise reforms proposed in Asiatic Turkey and guarantee for their execution which are yet to be agreed upon, but they would be submitted to Parliament previously for its sanction.

Mr. Fawcett then gave notice that he would introduce a resolution declaring such a prior submission to the Commons as necessary,

The Archbishop of Canterbury has issued to the clergy of his diocese a commenda- tion that they who, during the past few months, have prayed for peace, should now, through general thaukseiving,return thanks to God that their prayers have been ans- wered.

in the Commons this evening, the debate on Lord Hartingion’s resolution wasresumed, Lord Elcho violeutly attacked thet ypposition, and attributed the Russo-Turkish war to their conduct.

William Foster (Liberal) followed, and he attributed war to the Government iso- lating itself from other powers.

Mr. O’ Donnell supported the Government. The debate was continued at great length by anumber of ministerial members, who repeated stock argumenis strictly in accord ance with there known politics. At one time as many as thirty opposition members rose to their feet simultaneously.

Mr. Roebuck said the conduct of the Liberals throughout the crisis had been such that he did not think either himself or Mr. Gladstone would live to see them in power again.

Sir Wm. Vernon Harcourt declared that he thought the Government was iusincere, that it had no belief whatever that any danger was to be apprehended from Russia in Asia Minor, but that it wanted a pretext for occupying Cyprus.

Dr. Isaac Butt ,announced that he, for one, would support the Government.

Sir William Lawson expressed surprise that Mr. Plunkett’s vote of confidence was not more strongly worded to obtain a deti- nite decision before the dissolution of Par- liament, which was imminent.

Lord Hartington’s resolution was rejected to-night by a vote of 338 to 185, and Mr. Plunkett’s amendment was adopted with- out a division.

SYDNEY COAL.

REDUCTION iN PRICE! NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC!

nn GENERAL MINING ASSOCIA- & TION (Limited) beg to intimate to the Public that the price of SYDNEY COAL has been

Reduced to $2 per ton of 2240 Ibs., a price which itis hoped will place it within the reach of all consumers.

The opening of the new winning at ‘‘ THE SYDNEY MINES” and tie fact that the SYDNEY COAL now being shipped is all from the DEEP taken in connection with re cent improvements in the process of screening, affords purchasers a positive guarantee of the very superior quality and condition of the SYDNEY COAL now offered for sale.

It is a well-know fact that for many years past the prices of other Cape Breton coals have been regulated by the rates fixed for SYDNEY COAL; but while itis true that other coals, to get a sale at all, have been pressed on the market at various prices under the current rate of SYDNEY COAL, it is no less true that, taking into account the superior lasting qualities of SYDNEY COAL when compared with other Cape Breton coals, the advantage, both as to economy and convenience, is in favor of SYDNEY COAL, even at a much higher price.

The General Mining Association (Limited) regret that they should again have to caution the Public against the attempts being made from time to time to induce them to buy in- ferior coals purporting to be ‘EQUAL TO SYDNEY,” “SUPERIOR TO SYDNEY,” etc., ete., while some yet more unscrupulous vendors have not hesitated to advertise their coalas SYDNEY COAL (from some designated ilocality), All these efforts to sell coal by such |means are only so many admissions on the | part of those who make them of the sranDARD | character of SYDNEY COAL.

It has come to the knowledge of the Asso-

' ciation that in frequent instances parties giving orders to truckmen and others for SYDNEY COAL have been furnished with other and uiferior coal. ‘The Public are cautioned against

permitting themselves to be imposed apon im this way.

Every vessel loaded at THE SYDNEY MINES is furnished witha certificate of her cargo being Sydney Coal. Parties purchasing should satisfy themselves by demanding the prodaction of this certificate.

The ‘‘ Sydney Coal” is registered under the laws of the Dominion, and unauthorized parties

‘using the Trade Mark *“*“SYDNEY COAL are hable to prosecution.
