Englands Military Cendition.
—_—
Lonpon, May 16.
The Daily Telegraph, commenting on the agitation regarding England's military con- dition, says the net result is that the pub- lic now know what is necessary to do in the matter. ** The Government,” it says, ‘‘ will have to provide 10,000 extra’ men, get magazine rifles and field guns manu- factured either here or in America, or wherever the work can be quickly done, provide horses for her vavalry, and bar- racks for troops, drill and equip 100,000 volunteers, and attend to coast defences.” ‘*The main point to be decided,” it con- tinues, ‘is who shall carry out this pro- gramme? Lord Salisbury and Mr. Smith are already overworked, and the public has hardly sufficient confidence in Mr. Stan- hope’s capacity for such a vast task.”
Lord Charles Beresford, in a speech in London to-night, said if Boul- anger got to the top of the tree, he might, within a week, to gain popularity, order
England tea clear out of Egypt. They wanted the standard of defence to enable
the country at any time to meet the con- tingency of war with France or Russia.
Chinese Immigrants.
Lonpon, May 16.
The Chinese Ambassador has handed to the English Government a _ note protesting against the action of the Australian authori- ties in preventing the landing of Chinese immigrants, and asking an enquiry as to how far such action is compatable with the growth of friendly relations between Great
Sritain and China. The Government of New South Wales has sent a despatch to the home government protesting against Chinese fimmigration and demanding that the home government interfere in the matter, adding that otherwise the colonies must bow to public opinion and take their own measures to exclude Chinese immi- grants.
The Last Sad Rites.
Toronto, May 15.
The remains of Archbishop Lynch were consigned to their last resting place this afternoon. The funeral ssrvice in St. Michael’s Cathedral was most impressive and solemn. Cardinal Taschereau officiated in the pontificial requeim mass, and Bishop Ryan, of Buffalo, preached the funeral ser- mon. Six archbishops and bishops and bout 150 priests were present. The Cathe- dral was packed with people, including many of the most prominent citizens of all creeds.
Steamers Movements. Hauirrax, May 16.
The Harlow, the new steamer going to the west coast of Newfoundland, returned to-day and has a full cargo. The merchants are hopeful that she will develop a good trade with this port.
The steamer Worcester arrived from Boston to-day. She was off the harbor since Monday, but the Captain did not dare to venture in on account of the fog.
Fenians in Council. New York, May 16.
An important meeting of the Fenian Brotherhood was held in this city within the last few days. Representatives were present from Boston, Philadelphia, Patter- son, Pittsburg and many other places. It is understood that parliamentary agitation was declared an utter failure. The inter- ference of the Papal authorities, in Lrish politics was repudiated and condemned.
The Preeper Case.
Hatirrax, May 16.
Preeper, the young man condemned for the murder of Doyle, isto have his case heard by the Judges on July 10th. This will be an argument on the sufliciency of the testimony of Dr. McKay, and the effect on the minds of the jurors of Rey. W. C. Brown's sermon, which they heard.

sympathy of the entire community in their distress. It was the intention, he said, to explain their case to the Baptists through- out the Provinces, through the medium of their press
It was stated that they had been offered the free use of St. Paul’s Schoolroom, St. James’ Schoolroom, Y. M. ©. A. Hall, and the Lyceum, to hold their services in until they could provide a place of worship. All the offers were taken into consideration, and it was decided to accept that of the Y. M. C. A., as it allowed them to hold their meetings at the regular hours, and gave good accommodation for the Sabbath School, on account of the classrooms, all of which were at their disposal.
A committee was appointed to return thanks to all who so kindly offered them a place to meet in.
lt was decided to take steps at once to pull down all unsafe walls, but to allow the tower, if considered safe by an archi- tect, to remain as it is, until such time as the brick would be required for use.
The meeting was then adjourned. Time and place of next meeting will be announced through the press.
The services on Sunday next will be held in the Y. M. C. A., at the usual hours— 11 a. m. and 6.30 p.m. Sabbath School at 2.16.

Vice-Admiralty Court Sale.
The sale of the boats and seines condemned by the Vice-Admiralty Court for breach of the Fishery Treaty with the United States, took place at Souris yesterday.
F. W. Hyndman, Esq. , Marshal of the Court, having first read the warrants authorizing the sale, set up the seines belonging to the Col. J. H. French. Quite a number of bids were given, until $175 was reached, when the bidding ceased. The sale of this seine was then withdrawn, as the amount offered did not come up to the appraised value, which was $350.
The seine belonging to the Argonaut was sold to John Cumming at $150—the appraised value. The seine boat of the Argonaut went to Uriah Matthew for $88, being $23 above the appraised value.
The seine boat of the Col, J. H. French went for $120, being $30 above appraisement. This last boat was purchased by Capt. Chisholm, the owner of the Col. J. H. French, who also bid in the seines belonging to the vessel.
The sale was attended by about fifty per- sons, mostly residents of Souris and vicinity.
The seine belonging to the Col. French is still in the hands of the Marshal, and will be sold atonce by private sale to the highest purchaser.

Sparks From the Fire. The new Baptist Church will not, like the old one, be octagonal in shape.
One of the principal lessons to be learned from the late fire is the absurdity of making a wooden finish on a brick structyre. Had it been otherwise with the Baptist Church that edifice might have been saved.
A Mrs. Cummings, janitrix of the Baptist Church, was at the time of the fire sleeping soundly in her apartment in the basement, and were it not for the thoughtfulness of one of the firemen who awakened her while the Church was ablaze would doubt- less have perished.
Parents should admonish their children to keep away from the ruins of the Baptist Church, and the authorities should im- mediately place a railing with cautionary notices from the sidewaik around the burnt district. A uumber of youngsters were playing about the place to-day. Delay in acting upon these suggestions will be criminal,
Some people think that if on the night of the fire, a few hand grenades were available at the time of the alarm, their use would in all probability have prevented the conflagration. The flames were, for some time confined to the east corner of the rink, and could by their use have been subdued, as has been demonstrated on similar occasions else- where.

A Naval Funeral.
James Blackburn, son ot Mr. Edward Black- burn, of the Prince of Wales Hotel, Kent Street, a sailor on the American flagship Richmond, died at Key West, Florida, on the 2nd April last, from sunstroke, The remains were interred at Key West with naval honors. The escort consisted of some fifty sailors, members of the division to which Blackburn belonged, the band of the flagship, and four pall-bearers, mess-mates of the de- ceased. The ensign was draped in mourning, muskets reversed, the drums muffled, and
grave the colors of the vessels present were at half-mast, and the band played a dirge. Chaplain Stewart, of the flagship, officiated, and every ceremony prescribed, including the firing over the grave, was strictly carried out. All of this apparently made a deep impression upon the half foreign population of Key West, who evidently were hardly prepared to see so much respect paid the memory of a poor sailor. Blackburn, who was 24 years of age, joined the flagship in Boston on the 20th May, 1887. He was very popular with his
