THE STORY OF THE EMPEROR,

How They to Kings in China,

NOT YET CERTAIN OF THE EM- PEROR’S DEATH.

The Emperor had Plotted Against the Empress Dowager.

{[SpzoraL ro Tus ExamIver.]

Lonponx, Oct 5. —The Pekin sorrespon- dent of the Shanghai-Mercury aseerts that the mperor of China intended to remove the Empress Dowager from his path and entrusted his plans to an adbereat.

The latter preved to be a traitor.

The Empress Dowager on learning of the plot sternly upbraided the Emperor and ordered him to drink the contents of a cup to which she pointed,

He swallowed the fluid at a gulp.

It is i+ impossible, however, according to this correspondent, to ascertain whether the Emperor is alive or dead,

THE QUEBEC COMMISSION.

Deeply Interest-

ed.

Quesec, Oct 3.—Committee work is keeping the International Commissioners busy these days—Alaska boundary and the sealing auestions being the two probe | lems which are causing much wrestling these days. The American commission- ers have bad many representations made to them Ly different industries in the United States as to the probable effect of reciprocity io such industries. Now it is the turn ofthe British commissioners. | Canadian manufacturers are perhaps | justifiably uneasy at what a reciprocity treaty may have in store forthem. The resolution adopted at the Liberal conven- tion in Ottawa in 1593 advocates xrecipro~ city toinclude “a well considered list of manufactured articles.” Now everybody interested is anxious to know what indus- tries the Canadian cemmissionera propose to include in this list. The carriage manufacturers have sent representations to Hon. Clarke Wallace to urge that there be noreduction in the present rate of duties. If any reduction takes place it will simply kill this important industry.

Captain Marchand Was Delighted to See General Kitchener.

Lonpox, October 3.—A despatch from Cairo to the Daily Telegraph confirms the statement that Major Marchand had one brush with the Dervish gunboats which had gone to fetch reinforcements. He was in sore straits and numbers of his men had died and deserted. On the ar- rival of the Sirdar he had the entire force of about 120 Senegalese acd five French- men entrenched on a small tongue of land. The natives in that vicinity were menacing.

Major Marchand cameto the water’s edge to meet the Sirdar and chatted amic- ably with bim. The Frenchman produced some Champagne and drinks were had all round,

PROHIBITION.

Hatirax, N. 8., Oct 3.—The follow- ing resolutions were adopted this evening at a meeting of the Halifax County Probi- bition League:

W hereas, by the plebiscite act passed by the parliament of Carada a: the last session there was submitted to the vote of the electors the following question: “Are you in favor of the passing of an act probi- biting the importing, manufacture or saie

And whereas, on the 29th of September the said question was submitted to the electorate of Canada, and

INTERESTING SPEECHES ~-IM- _ PORTANT DECISIONS. a Pi +

Fine Fruit Exhibit ;

During the forenoon ecssion,—

The President referred tc the action of a committee of the Association, composed of Lieut.-Governor Howlan, the Secretary, Mr. McCourt, and himself in going to the regular meeting of the Prince County Frait Growers Association and inducing the members to unite with the general aoeiety, assuming at'the same time the li tle indebtedness of county organization. On motion, theaction of this committee was forma) ly approved. It was also deciwed to send each member of the association the annual report of the Horticaltural Society of Ontario, and the Horticu'turist.

Reverend Father Burke then referred | to the object of this spec al meeting and, the pecesaity of some practical action in| testing the fruit of our orchards and yet» ting that which ha» s commercial value to a profitable market. The finances of the aseociation were now in a position to aid a trial shipment to Hoagland, the cold stor- age steamer was also at hand, and it was necessary todetermive, now, how best to employ the funds of the association in promoting the interest of fruit growers. In the absence of Treasurer Wise, who would be present later, he advised the employment of the interyening time in { practical discussion. He called upon Mr. Robertson, the veteran fruit grower of Inkerman

Mr. Jchn Robertson, of lokerman Farm, referred to scabbed and cracked fruit. This was ip part due, he thought, to trees being planted too close together, and in part to shade and wet weather. He had sprayed twice with the Bordeaux mixture with good results, except in the case of the Fameu-e apple, but even such dpples as the Wealthy had euffered this year. Mr. Robertson referred to the manuer of pack- ing apples for shipment. Apples ought, in his opinion, to be packed toge'her as closely as possible to exclude iu Apples ought to be pressed dowo barre}, for if not they would be bruised. He thougbt, as to the kinds of apples most suitable forexport from this Proyince, that special! efforts should be made to cul- tivate apples suitable to this climate and not likely to scab. In conclusion he ex« pressed his sense of the importance of the meeting and of devising ways and means for the ‘profitable marketing of our surplus fruit.

The President remarked that he hed lately conversed with Mr. Sheppard, of the Fruit Growers’ Association of Quebec, who declared that the Wealthy apple would certainly find a sure market in the Great Britain market; also the “McIntosh Red.”

Senator Ferguson, on rising, expressed hie appreciation of the work and import- ance of the Association, and declared it to be his firm conviction that Prince Edward Island is destined to rival Nova Scotia iu the prodaction of superior fruit. He had just returned from the Halifax exhibition, whither he had taken some 56 samples of Island apples—30 from his own small orchard; and he had expert authority for the statement that in size and bloom they compared favorably with the apples exbib- ited in Halifax. He was sutisfied that with the adoption of the improved methods of the day as to spraying, we could easily fight the pests which menace our orchards. For the first time he had this year sprayed his own orcherd, following closely the formula laid down inthe Experimental Farm’s report, and was happy to eay with the mest favoratle resulie. Senator Ferguson then spoke of the necessity of producing those apples which wil! best suit the British market. He said that in Nova Scotia orchardists were narrowing down instead of extending the list of varieties produced ; and ia effecting this the science of top grafting was being gener- aliy called info requisition, thus moking use fof the growth. of trees producing unsuitable fruit. He spoke also of the importance of a proper pack~- age in which toship our apples and the manner of filling these packages, declaring that “ slack packed” apples were fatal io success. Colour counted for much in the British market, and it was found that by grafting On the Red Astracap, a superior bloom could be obtained for the superior varieties. He also remarked upos the importance of a good sample shipment and said that he had no doubt but such would prove acceptable to the British consumer and profitable to us.

Mr. Wise, the Treasurer of the Associa- tion, having arrived submitted his report. The receipts, be stated, inc] uded besides the members fees a grant of $150 from the goy-

for Insulting

(Specian ro Tue Examiver.]

Pexin, Oct.5.—An entire absence of excitement prevails now.

The streets are as quiet as those of London.

The decision of the Russian Legation to increase the strength of the escort of guards, is calculated to have an injurious effect in keeping up the excitement.

This step has obliged the British Minister to follow suit, and a detachment of British marines has been ordered to the capital for the protection of the Legation of Great Britain.

The place where a number of of Euro- peans were recently insulted has been roped off, and inside of it the eight offend~ ers have been placed, wearing heavy cangues inscribed: “Ptnished for insult- ing Huropeans.”

The Chinese foreign office has amply apologized for the occurrence and several regiments are held in readiness in case of disorder.
