{SpeciaL ro THE EXAMINER ]

Orrawa, May 27.—Costigan made the promised statement yesterday, which was in effect that his change of attitude to- ward the Conservative Leader began with the time Sir Charles Tupper left England to become the leader of the Gov~ ernment. The actof the ministers of Bowell’s cabinetavho deserted him at the beginning of tue session of 1895 wag one which he (Costigan) condem med, '

There were loval and true men in Tup=} per’s Cabinet, but they were not among ‘ the leaders.

The day that he, Costigan, changed bis allegiance was the day these men walked out of Bowell’s Cabinet.

He felt it right to stand by Sir Mackenzie Bowell.

He himself had enjoyed the confidence | of McDonald, Abbott, Thompson and Boweli, though he did not fully enjoy the coufidence of Bowell’s eneccessor.

But, said Mr. Costigan, it might be asked why he went ivte Sir Charles Tupper’s Gov- erninent with these men. He would eay be did it reluctantly,

Costigan here read the letter written to Sir Charles Tupper at the time. It set forth that Mr. Costigan entered the Mac. donald ministry as a reprseutative of the Irieh Catbolies.;

He had labored for the I rish Catholics totereste. He had to make the humiliating confession that his labors in that interest had failed.

Sir Charles Tupper replied calmly but scathingly. He said that he deeply re- gretted the course taken by his former col- league, not so much oa his (Lupper’e) account or on account of the Liberal Con- servative party, but on account of Costigan himself. It wasa vemarkatle statewent that a mar,who fo: fourteen yesrs bai held the confilence of his par:y should declare that he was under no obligation towards it, Matters now under investigation made more clear the reason for this announce- ment,

Sir Charles pointed out thac Costigan had given no reason for his change of attitude. He muet bave had confilence in Sir Charles when he took offise under him and in his colleagues when he made them hisown.

Difficulties to which Costigan ascribed his alienation took place before Costigan

wrote his letter accepting Sir Charles as leader.

As to the Remedial Bill Costigan could hardly say that he,Tupper, had not fought that battle out with all the: strepgth be had. It was only after the fight was made and lost that Costigan deserted those who had fought it with him and went over to those who bad opposed the cause in other provinces and betrayed it in Quebec,

I: was not until power was lost that his want of sympathy with Tupper was shown, and then Costigan had not mentioned a single act of his which was a departure from the principles accepted by Costigan down to ihe hour of defeat of the late Government.

Sir Charles pointed out that while the other members of the late government were still standing round him when he had no patronage or office to bestow, the pariy ip power had the advantage of Costigans sup- port.

The opposition, however, would nut say much about the metives which led Costi- gan to his present course. The country might te trusted to understand and place a yalue on these reasons. Nor wouid he refer to the investigation begun by a coms mittee of the House yesterday.

He would again Bay that he felt the oc- casion to be a most painful one, though he

as €n octogenarian aud valetudinarian, he felt thst he was still capable of taking care | of himeelf.

(Glasgow Nerald.)

In the sudden death of the Rey. Dr. Dancan, Bridge of Weir, whoee demise we recorded yesterday, the Church bas suf- tered another heavy loss. Dr. Duncan was in the 44tb year of his ministry, hav- ing been sent out by the Church to Char- lottetown, Canada,in 1856 as euccessor to the Rev. Dr Snodgrass, now senior minis- terof Canonobie. From Charlotte‘own he was translated to Halifax, N S., and dur- ing the 26 years of his ministry to Can-~ ada he held the highest positions in the Church, being convener of several of the schemes, Chaplain to the Legiela- tive Assembly, Examioer for the Theo- logical Hall, and for 12 years Moderator of the Maritime Syned. Finally, on the union of the Presbyterian Churches, he was nominated Moderator of the Church of Scotland in Canada, which position illness prevented him from accepting. | Returning to Edinburgh in 1882 as enccee- | sor to the Prey, R. C,H. Macduff,he labored ! taere for two years, anc in 1884 be accepts! edacallto Bridgeof Weir. In 1896 he received the honorary degree of D. D. from Glasgow Cniversity. .Among his intimate friends at college, where he took a dis-~ tinguishsd place, were many well-known ministers—Very Rev. Dr Macgregor, Edin - burgh; Dr. Stewart: Buros, Glasgow Cathedral; Dr. Ogilvie Rameay, Close- burn ; DrGray, Dalkeith; and Dr Wallace, M.P. Asaman anda minster he was widely respected and revered among all: denominations and by all rections of | the community, living as he did, a life: which, in the words of Professor Wenley, was arare inspiration and » benediction. He leaves a widow, three daughters, and two sons to mourn his loss. The elder eon, Rev. G. G@ Dunean, B. D., Fe!low of Theology of Glasgow University, is now minister of Glendevon, while a son-in-law is the well known Rev. Dr. Harridge of Ottawa.

Yesterday a telegram caroe frorn McIntyre, senior, say~ ing that the word “buried” in the first des~ patch should have read “married” and announcing that he arrived 19 Wallace- burg just in time to give his son and bride the parental blessing.

Looking For a Leader.

i

Parte, May 26.~ The dieaftected spirits in Paris are looking fora leader. Major Marchand, in spite of his prestige as a bero, is scarcely big enongh, while his Joyalty and government precautions are already nipping in the bud efforts in his direction, Generai Gallteni, a shrewd, re- solute and unecrupulous map, now re- turning froma succeestul administration as Governorof Madagascar, is rather the object of these intrigues. He is detached from the Dreyfus effair, but is hardly a popularhero. There is no reason, more~ over, to doubt his loyalty and prudence.

Mr. John Wood, of Lot 43, is to be congratulated on securing such animals as he did at Mr. Heartz’s sale, viz., Gipsey May of Belvedere, 117,785, daugbter of the great prize cow Gip-ey, who took first prize in Montreal in 1895, sweepstales at Outawa and Gananogne the same yeer, and headed Mrs. Jones’ first prize herd at Toronto, Mortreal, Ovtawa, and Ganans oque. Roteas Bertha of Belvedere trom Bessie of Malone, with a similar record to Gipsey both of these fine animals Velng sired by the prize bull Liliam’s Rioter, considered by competent judges to be the best Jersey bull alive. Mr. Wood also bought the beautiful heifer Penelope, a perfect picture, from Rore ot Willon Lodge aod Canadas Sir George. Mr. Wood is rapidly coming to the front as ove of our foremost stock raisers end his large and valuable herd of pure brede is headed by the two year old bu!l Roesland Duke sired by Bimcoe Chief, dam Muriel of 8t.
