English agricultural papers give cur- rency to a statement that pleuro-pneumonia has appeared among cattle imported into England from Canada, and they accordingly urge Mr. Chaplin to request the Dominion to enforce more stringently the frontier
quarantine regulations The statement 1s unconfirmed: but, without doubt, it 1s most essential that Canada should now exercise greater care than ever. Mr. Chaplin's apeech respecting the decision to fo bid the in rtation of cattle from H lland, dis inetly showed his anxiety, now that he is in office, to give effect to the views he has long held as to restr cting live stock
imports where any plausible pretext ex ists, in accord with the desires of British
farmers.
—A Toronto correspondent of Le Canada, writing urder nem de plume of ** Bystander,” purports to give the real cause of Mr. Blake's resignarion of the grit le adership He recalls the fact that Blake pledved himself, in his famous Malvern speech, that there would be no interference with the net onal pslicy in the event of the
rits obtaining office. Subsequently, when (he party deci led to make unrestricted re- ciprocity the party battle cry, ‘* By

Figures at the Dominion Immigration Ufilce, obtained in advance of the official re- ports,show thit the total number of arrivals have been 24.082. The total number last year was 03,414, a decrease for 1889 of y > be taken as evidence of decadence, for what 1a8 been lost in numbers has been amply compensated for in qua'ity. The only rea- son for the falling otf was the withdrawl by the Goverament last year of the ** assisted immigration’ principle. As proof, the Iimmigratiom agents’ buoks show that iv April, 1888, the arrivals were 3.104, while in the succeeding month of May, they mounted sudden y up to 11,183, the rush being to seize the last chance for assisted immigration. The number who passed through and settied in the United States in that month was greater by more than double than before or since. beirtg 3,339, proving in a degree what has been held that the assisted inimigration system paid out of ail proportion for immigrants who made the United States their home

the “improvement in quality” of the immi- |

Beggs Tells His Story. HOW CRONIN WAS CONDEMNED TO DEATH BY
CLAN NA-GAEL CAMP 20— THE UNLUCKY NUMBER THIRTEEN.
A Chicago despatch says: About three weeks ago lawyer Foster went to Judge Longenecker and told him that John F.
| Beggs, senior guardian of camp 20, was | willing to tell all he knew about the trial
and removal of Dr. Crouin, without any condition as to the State’s charge against
‘him. Beggs admitted that he was senior
guardian of camp 20, and in that capacity appointed a committee to try Cronin Beggs says he was not present at any of the meetings of the trial comm/iitee, and knows nothing of the evidence introduced against the murdered man. Beggs was also the chief centre of the inner circle of camp 20, and in that capacity presided at the meeting at which the trial committee re- ported, finding Cronin guilty of being a traitor and a spy. Five men were to de- cide on the manner and extent of the pun- ishment at a time, place, and in a manner to be arranged by themselves.
Thirteen members were present, includ- ing Beggs, and all were sworn enemies of the murdered man. Thirteen square strips of white paper were cut up and on five pieces were written numbers one to five Che remaining eight were left blank. The ballots were passed around and the mem- bers who received the printed slips were elected to name and inflict the punishment
No one except the five men knew who the excutioners were. Beggs picked a blank ballot and all he did was to announce that the five men chosen would meet to- gether at a certain place and time. Beggs .dmits the Clan-na-Gael unwritten law re- yarding the punishment to be inflicted on traitors was generally the death penalty, but the nature of the punishment was not specified in the constitution, nor was it eb- lizatory on any member to inflict the death penalty.
James Flannigan, formerly a member of camp No. 20, corroborates Captain Thomas F. O'Connor's story about the trial com- wittee. Early in February, shortly after Le
iron had testifiel before the Parne | com- mussion, was the time of the meetinf of camp No. 20. Junior Guardian Andrew Dug gan charged that Dr. Cronin was an inti- mate friend of Le Caron, and, like him, wasaspy. In fact, he’ charged that all doctors were spies and traitors. Captain O'Connor defended Cronin, and said the only reason he was denounced was because he had accused a leading member of em- bezalement. Beggs took a hand in the row and said Cronin was a traitor, whereupor Dan Coughlin moved that an investigating committee be appointed, the motion being
' seconded by saloon keeper Dan Marphy.
lt was the night of May 3rd that Andrew Fey, who was an enemy of Dr. Cronin, asked if the secret committee had reported, snd was told that it had. The next night Cronin was murdered. It is believed a written report was made on the subject, but nothing is known as to this.
Begys had nothing more to do wit’ the removal. f Cronin after the meeting. He nas furnished the State Attorney with a list of the thirteen members present, and says Coughlan, Sullivan and Burke were smong the number. He cannot give the names of the five excuti- ners, because he does not know who were chosen to do the work.
Just before the case against the Cronin onspirators is given to the jury, the State Attorney will ask that the case against Senior Guardian John F. Beggs be nolle- prosequied, and the defendant allowed to go free. This will Sbe done in return for valuable information by Begg to the State. The Senior Guardian has told all he knows about the conspiracy, and though his in- formation has been of great benefit to the State, it shows that he is guiltless of the crime with which he is now charged. Beggs will not take the witness stand for the State.
rT og Yelegraphic Odds and Ends. A BUDGET OF GENERAL NEWS FROM ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD.
Orrawa, Oct. 23.—A compendium of re- gulation regarding the inspection of boilers aud machinery has been compiled under the direction of the Minister of Marine, which, it is understood, wili greatly facili- rate inspections, especially as regards Eng- lish-made machinery, which has hitherto been subject to a very roundabout and un- satisfactory routine.
Vienna, Oct. 23.—The papers of this city applaud Emperor William’s speech ypening the Reichstag, and declares it furnishes evidence of the peaceful tendency f Germany and her allies. The Freden- blatt says the additional German armament saused by the military preparations of her veivhbors, yuarantee the peace of the world afresh. The united strength of the allies constitutes the strongest bulwark of peace, which has been made more secure by the persongl meet'ngs between the Emperor Wiliam and other rulers.
Montreal, Oct. 23 —Yery heavy frost here last night and ice of considerable thickness formed on still water. The frost appears to have been general all over the province.
Sr. THomas, Ont., Oct. 23.—Cornelius Vanderbilt and party passed over the Uan- ada Southern division of the Michigan Cen- tral Railway yesterday at a very fast rate. The run from Detroit to St. Thomas, 112 miles, was made in 92 minutes,
Toronto, Oct. 23.—The annual meeting of the Ontario branch of the Dominion Alli- ance will take place here on Wednesday, December 18, Special arrangements have been perfected to make this meeting a grand rally for the securing of immediate prvhibitory legislation.

The system of word-stufting, by which the memory is overtaxed before the reason- ing powers are awakened, is worse than worthless. ‘‘How is Europe bounded ?” said a teacher who believed in early cram- ming to one of his little pupils. “I, thou, he, she, it,” was the reply. ‘For shame, Johnny; try again.” “O please, sir, I remember now, That is the answer to one of my grammar questions, and I thought I was to be heard in my grammar first.” —

Too Many Wives. ANOTHER ISLANDER DISTINGUISHES HIMSELF ABROAD,
|
A Washington despatch of the 21st gives) details of **the marriage of Dr. James A.
Fraser, a graduate of the Halifax Medical | College, and Lillie G. Thorn, a pretty’ census clerk. The announcement was seen | by Edward R. R. Mayne, an uncle of Dr. | Fraser, who immediately sent word to the | paper that Dr. Fraser could not have mar- | ried Miss Thorn legally, as he was a married | man. Mr, Mayne’s explanation of tho | matter is in substance as followa: In 1883
Fraser, while attending a medical college at Halifax, married a young lady of that city.
Subsequently they lived in Charlottetown,
they removed to Maryland, but as the climate did not agree with Mrs. Fraser, she returned to Halifax with her children. A few days ago Mr. Mayne received from Mrs. Fraser a letter, written by her hus- band Oct. 12, suggesting divorce. She re- fused to consent to his proposition. Miss Thorn was a clerk in the census office. Her mother, who is employed in the agricul- tural department, put the marriage notice in the paper. She says Dr. Fraser claims to have been divorced. He and her daughter went to Baltimore on Wednesday and her daughter telegraphed that they had been married that evening, and were on their way to London, Ont., to visit Dr. Fraser's mother. The affair has created a
sensation here.” t+ O+e
Gladstone Hopeful.
HE TALKS FREELY AT SOUTHPORT Ok IRE- LAND’S GRIEVANCES.
Hon. Mr. Gladstone delivered an address at Southport on Wednesday evening last, He was enthusiastically welcomed, the hall being crowded two hours before the open- ing of the meeting. Gladstone reviewed the work of the liberal party for the past twenty-one years, and paid a tribute to the laudable anxiety of the powers to post- pone a Europeaan crisis. He referred to Cretan questions as a formidable menace to the peace of Europe, criticised at length -he government's work, and claimed that all its useful measures were liberal. The speech was short and somewhat disappoint- ing. Gladstone made a peint by declaring that the principles of the dock strikers ap- plied to tenarits and tradesmen in Ireland, would have been penal. He was touched by the election gains, and believed that, if they could end the Septennial Act and ap- pealto the people to-morrow, the verdict would be in favor of the Liberals and jus- tice to Ireland. The bulk of the speech was devoted to Irish grievances. He said that the necessity for the continued procia- mation of new districts was evidence of the failure of the coercion policy, and declared that the crime rate is now the same as in 1884, when, in order to secure the support of the Parnellites, the turies declared co- ercion no longer necessary.
4 Terrible Tale of the Sea. EXPERIENCE OF A SHIPWRECKED CREW OFF TURKS ISLAND.
The seven survivors of the ill-fated steamer Earnmoor of the Earn line, which founded at sea on September Oth ina cyclone when 300 miles off Turks Island, bound from Baltimore to Rio Janeiro, ar- rived in Philadelphia on the 24th inst. They tell a story of terrible suffering. The Earnmore struck a terrible gale on Satur- day 4th, which increased in force, and at 11.30 a m. on the following day the vessel gave a lurch and foundered... As the steamer sank the port life boat floated off from the ship, betweea the funnel and the main- mast, and the second officer, second and taird engineers, four sailors, three firemen and the cvok clung to the boat and scrambl- edin. An unsuccessful effort was made to save the rest of the crew, seventeen men, The cries of the drowning men ag they were dashed about by the mountainous wayes were heard by the men in the boat, but they could not be reached and had to be abandoned to their fate. Fortunately the boat drifted into the Gulf Stream, and the air was warm, but this increased the intensity of their thirst, Carl Crane, one of the survivors, said : ‘* The horrors of hunger on the second day became awful, and it increased as time wore on. We managed to pick up seaweed afloat in the Gulf Stream, which gaye us 4 little nutriment, and, on the third day, 4 flying fi.h was caught. This was immed- lately cut up into a portion for each man, and devoured. We also captured a sea bat and sucked its blood, and then ate the flesh after it had dried in the sun. The first man to die was a seaman named Rob- inson, Qf Baltimore, and the second was the third engineer, Tomas Hunt, of Phil- adelphia. One night, while ‘we wore all asleep, except a German fireman named Plagge, who was on watch, he suddenly be- came insane and jumped overboard. We were too weak to save him. We were without a compass, and steered by the sun by day and the stars by night. Eleven vessels passed us. One, a British barque, we are certain saw us, and deliberately left us to our fate. Wher $00 miles of Hatteras, we were picked up by 4 schooner. We were so weak that we had to be lifted upon the vessel’s deck, and one of our men, Ed. Johnson, a Norwegian, fell overboard and was drowned.”

The Cholera Spectre,
A New York Herald speciaj cablegram, dated Paris, Oct. 20, says: The cholera spectre has appeared again, and it was real- ly a subject of discussion at the Academie de Medecin. Three months ago cholera appeared in Mesopotamia, and it has now been propagated in Persia. On August 24 the epidemic was running at Bagdad, At that place from the 20th to the 3lst of August the death rate from chvulera was from 200 to 400 persons per day. Since the pest of 1831 no epidemics has been so fatal. In September the cholera spread to the Euphrates and the Tigris. The scourge has reached the Persian Gulf. The city of Recht has several times been the point of | departure or the place of passage for chol- | era epidemics coming from Hindoostan and | Afghanistan to Persia. Recht is not yet} contaminated, but if the cholera does reach | there the sole safeguard of Europe will be | to depend upon the measure taken by the | Russian Government on the Russian fron- tier.
