Lord Salisbury’s Speech

HE ATTACKS WOLSELY,

——————

Who Will Probably Resign.

Lonpon, May 12.

In the Lords to-day, Viscount Hardinge asked what truth there was in the reports that England was defenceless.

The Duke of Cambridge, commander of the forces, denied that the country was in imminent danger.

Lord Salisbury protested against the prevailing impression, that because the gov ernment did make showy — speecles that their vigilgence slept. Nothing would be m re insane than to explain to the world Eng!and’s strength and the nature of the precautions taken. There had been considerable increase 1 the preparations in recent years. ‘The panicky tone pervading the language of military authorities out- side the house was not shared by the Gov- ernment which was ful'y conscieus that any disregard of national defences’ in the present state of the world would be a very grave dereliction of duty. (Cheers. ) He complained that high military author:- ties were making statements against the Government at public banquets where they could not be answered. The reason the army and navy were not so strong as they ought to be was due to the system of party, which was the curse of England, depriving English statesmen of manly honesty. Wolsely ought to have made this statement in the House where he could be answered,

Lord Salisbury’s speech has caused a sen- sation in political and military circles. The attack upon Wolsely was wholly unexpect- ed. The genera) opinion is that Wolsley will resign after replying. The Liberals are inclined to support Wolsely’s position, which igapproved by al] military members of the Commons—in the Commons.

Lord George Hamilton, First Lord of the Admiralty, said regarding the report that the strength of the Russian squadron was superior to the English, that the Russian fleet, either in numbers or in strength was not equal to the British force on the China station alone.

The Times thinks Lord Salisbury’s re- buke to Gen. Wolsely was not undeserved. lt applies to more thau one military man.

Smallpex at Port Hawkesbury,

Hauipax, May 11.

The American fishing schooner William Mathesoa is quarantined at Port Hawkes- bury. One of her crew is in the hospital at that place, suffering from smallpox. While auchored at quarantine grounds two others of her crew escaped in a boat and made for their homes in Arichat, some thirty miles distant. They arrived there and domiciled ina barn. Their mysterious appearance caused general alarm, and immediate pre- cautions were ‘taken. The men were quarantined. The Board of Health have taken steps to prevent the disease spread- ing there.

The Electric Tragedy.

Haxrrax,§May 11.

Coroner Somers and his jury have not yet filed their verdict in re the death of Croker. The Mail giving an editorial re- sume of the evidence to-night says : ** The expert evidence given in the case by Capt. Rawson and A. A Knudson, an electrician, goes to show that either thro gh careless- hess or ‘ignorance the Chandler Electric Co. had not taken the proper precaution to protect the lives of their servants,”

Judge Henry's Successor.

Hatirax, May 12.

Various opinions are offered by the Hali- fax Bar in view of the editorial in the Empire that the successor to Judge Henry need not necessarily he 4 Matitime an. They scarcely think it inspired, and are rather indignant that even the suggestion should be made thata Nova Scotian will not be appointed.

A Big Blaze. THE STORE AND. WARKHOUSES OF J, H, CUM- MISKEY, ESQ., AT FORT AUGUSTUS, DE- STROYED BY FIRE~A NARROW PSCAPE— | GOOD WORK—THE ESTIMATED LOSS. We regret very much to learn that the store and three warehouses of James Cum- miskey, Esq., Webster’s Corner, Fort Aug- ustus, were destroyed hy fire last, cYening. It was between eleven and twelye o'clock” when the discovery was made that the warehouse to the west of the dwelling was in a blaze. In less than five minutes after- | wards the flames had’ communicated to,the | other warehouses and shop, some lkerosene | stored in the first-mentioned Warehouse having exploded. ied | The heat from the burning buildings was

that ‘it was impossible to save anything. | As soon as Mr, Cummiskey left the house, | he, in company with his sister (Miss Rose

Commiskey), went into the shop after tho_ booksand private papersand some cashwhich | were locked in the safe. Mr, Cuimmiskey

just had time to open the safe and take the |

and he had to vacate the premises, leaving |

$400) therein. He could nat leave the premises the way hs had entered, but-as vbliged to break the shop wigdow, and pushing his sister through ahead of him, umke his escape in that manner. While | inside, Mr. Cummiskey’s hat, vest and shirt

Miss Cummiskey’s damaged.

While the shop and warehouses were burning the. people—women as_ well as men—were battling heroically to keep the flames from spreading to Mr. Cummiskey’s dwelling house about fifty yards distant. Among those who did good work were Mr. John C, Lane, Mr. Patrick Trainor, Mr. John Cummiskey, Mr. Don- ald Campbell, and a number of others whose names we could. not learn. The women carried the water up the lad- ders to the men upon the housetops, and the men, ‘at great personal risk, threw the water upon the roof to keep the sparks which fell like hailstones, from igniting and setting fire to the premises. So hot was it at times that the men were obliged to keep behind the chimneys, and the wo- men had to bathe their hands and facas with the water in the buckets. Some ot the furniture was removed from the house and placed outside only to be burn- ed. Fortunately, however, the house was saved, though in a damaged condition.

In Po warehouses and shop were stored oats, tobacco, dry yoods, groceries, etc., etc., all of which, together with the build- ings were destroyed.

Mr. Cummiskey egtimates his loss at about $8,590, with insurance of $2,000 in **Guardian.” He has the sympathy of all in his misfortune,
