DISSATISFACTION EXPRESSED FOR GOVERNMENT POLICY. Many Rumors Current, The Situation

Becoming Serious.

{[SrectaL ro THe ExaMINER.]

Lonpoy, Aug 26.—The effect of the Liberal success in Southport, coupled with the growing trouble in the far East, has been productive of keen public concern, and a crisis is freely predicted.

Lord Salisbury is the man on whom all eyes centre.

All the papers agree that Lord Skel- mersdale’s defeat expresses the felectors» diseatisfaction with Salisbury’s Chinese } policy. ;

The Daily Chronicle and the Daily News declare that it sounds the knoll of the Conservative Government.

Lonpon, Aug. 26.—A despatch from Shanghai also reports that the entire available British fleet in Chinese waters has arrived at Wei-Hai-Wei to support the demande of Sir Claude McDonald, the British Minister to China.

There is no confirmation of the report obtainable from any source. °

Lonpon, Aug 26.—A despatch cabled from London to New York to the effect that Lord Salisbury before leaving for France informed Her Majesty that inthe critical state of relations with Russia he must resign unless her frequently expreé- 4 sed veto upon the prosecution of diplom= acy tothe point of war during her life time was withdrawn and he was giveo an absolutely free hand, and that thereupon

sovereigns are 1817 and that on the sov- ereigns are 1811. He believes there are many more in the same place. Different theories aresdvanced regarding the finding | of the coins and how they came there.

the ministry made definite proposal to _ Russia, which in effect amounted to an ultimatum, is an elaboration of current | gossip of clubs and sensational weeklies and it is obviously impossible of confirm- ation or denial. Circumstantial evidence ali goes to disprove the statement.

Salisbury has been spending his vaca- tion since Parliament adjourned in France.

Col. Sanderson, the Permanent Under-~ Secretary of Foreign Affairs and other officials of the Foreign Office, and likewise the Russian Ambassador to Great Britain» have been on the continent for a long time’ Apparently there are no important negotiations pending.

Englund has abandoned the “open door” policy because Russia closed the door in her face, as has been pointed outand re- treated to the policy of “spheres of influ- ence,” because it ismecessary to appear to to have some Chinese policy.

Two British ships were withdrawn from Chinese waters yesterday.

The Ideal Wife.

Pure, chaste and refined “yet not too bright ortoo good for human nature’s daily food;” educated and fond of good literature, yet domestic and fond of home, amiable, gentle and in love with her hus~ band, yet spirited and not languishing with love; neat, yet not fastidious; witty yet not sarcastic: faithful, tender and true through life to him, yet not gushing or sejfish in her devotion; considerate and charitable in all things, yet not easily imp sed upon; cheerful and optimistic. yet not flippant nor wanting in deep feei~ ing; self-reliant and strong-minded, but not bold, mannish nor abstinate ; healthy and vigorous in constitution, yet without the least suggestion of grossnees.

in feature, and as the diamond ring, to crown all these qualities of mind aod heart with an unfaltering trust in and devotion to God, as incarnated in Jesus Christ, and to my mind you bave the ideal wife.— Louisville Post.

FRENCH CRUISER REPORTED LOST.

[Srectan ro Tae Examiner.)

Paris, Aug. 26.—The papers here re- port that the French armored cruiser Bruix, has foundered in the Indian Ocean, but the rumour is not confirmed.

ASwindler Caught.

Ottawa, Aug. 25.—R. L. Middleton, self-styled railway promoter, who has been imposing upon the people of Wooastock aud Brantford, has been identified as a ‘fakir? named Macdonald, who, by false pretences, obtained information and land patent forms from the Interior Department. Macdonald came to Ottawa last fall, pre- sensing credentials from Washington, and repreeented himself to be from Yukon. His evident object was to get possession of official papers for use in negotiations with Beston capitalists for the propagating of a Yukon project. He did succeed in se- curing several forme, but through signing the name of William Ogilvie to a tele« gram sent to Boston he was detected as a swindler. Macdonald made hasty retreat

think Middieton ie none other thun the alleged bigamist Macdonald, of Chicago, who married Maggie Thomas, and it is claimed that she is the wife he has now at Burford. ‘

A Harvest Failure.

Lexpon, August 25.—The St. Peterburg correspondent of the Times eays uneasioess ‘a felt over the repetition of last years failur of the harvest. In districts, pro~ vince of Kazin and largely in tbe provinces of Samara, Saraloff, Simbirsk, Viatka and Perm the crops are almost worthless, Even the landed gentry are beginning to ask the government for relief and the prospect of a famive is most grave. The min'sters of the interior and finance are sending out agents to make inquiries and to purchase corn. Zemstovs are bestirring themselves to meet the situation. It is reported that in some districts the peasgutry are breaking into the communal granaries, and helping themselves.

The Conservative Leader.

Sypyer, August 25.—Sir Charles Tup- per has returned to town, having visited Gabarus, Grand Mira, Marion Bridge and Mira Ferry, He was presented with addresses from each of the above places, to which he made suitable replies. The meet~ ings were most enthusiastic, the people, regardless of politics, joined hands and gave the grand old man a right royal wel- come along the line.

Today he and Lady Tupper have been invited by the people of North Sydney for an excursion on the Bruce.

Germany’s Jealousy.

Loxpon, Aug 24.—A despatch to the ‘Daily Mail’from Berlin says that Ger- mans are somewhat alarmed by the ap~ proaching visit to China of Vice-Admiral Lord. C. Beresford whois going out as the representative of the British Associated Chambers of Commerce to study trade conditions and other matters. The‘ Cor- respendenz’ eays: ‘It will be the duty of ovr representatives in East Asia to watch with the keenest attention the steps and acts of Lord Beresford, who sees in Germany the most dangerous rival of Brit~ ish commerce andindustry. He is worthy of our attention. ’

On Account of the Coming Elections in the States.

(Seeciat ro Tae Examiner.)

Qvesec, Aug. 26.—The first session of the International Conference yesterday was strictly private.

On Monday the Commission will meet again, and sittings will be held daily until Friday, when another adjournment will be taken, this time to Sept. 20th, in order te give Dingley a chance to look after his politicai forces.

The probability is said to be that the Commission will take its time.

The American Commissioners have no desire to bave any findings of the Commic~ sion used as election roatter by the Demox crats in the coming elections, and as the last of the fall elections does not take place until early in November, it is un- likely that any definite announcement of the Commission’s work will be made until atter then.
