Lonpox, March 1.

The Montreal Stuy to-day publishes ro- | : yet tas death of Cardinal

vised election returns for Quebec showing twenty-eight Ministerialists and twenty- seven Grits. The Star puts down the nine | doubtful ones elected as Independents, and gives the Government a majority of twenty- one of those so far elected throughout the Dominion.

Of the nine claimed as Independents by the Star, seven, at least. will support the | Government, most of them having already | given assurances to that effect.

For instance, Therien, of Montealm, who | is claimed by the Grits, telegraphs his con- | gratulations to Sir Hector Langevin and | promises the Government a cordial support.

LaBelle, of Richeliu, who is also claimed | by the Grits, has gone to New York on a pleasure trip with Chapleau. Toronto, March 1—10 a.m

things at once to the Senate for its informa- tion. The report is signed by the three Senate confreres— Senators Edmunds, Frye and Morgan— after a brief discussion, the subject was then dropped.

The Zimes’ Pekin correspondent informs that paper that the head of a rich Chris- tian family at SeChuen has been executed despite the remonstrance of the French minister. The correspondent says that the situation of Christians in the provinces of SeChuenand Kiveichlow is critical. The Mandarins are siding with Literats against Christians, and urges the Pope to send a Legate to Pekin to arrange definite modus vivendi forthe protection of Christians throughout China, and to avoid the con- tinuance of the present state of affairs, which, the correspondent thinks, will drift intu general persecution, massacre and j civil war.
