SUMMARY OF PROCEEDINGS. The Split in the Grit Camp,

o-

Orrawa, Aug. 27.

In the House yesterday the Opposition continued their obstruction tactics on the single item of wood fuel for the public buildings. The discussion lasted for seven hours.

Flint, of Yarmouth, preferred additional corruption charges against Cochrane. _ On the second reading of the bill grant- ing a bounty on beet root sugar, Beausoliel (Grit) congratulated the Finance Minister upon his action in encouroging this impor- tant industry. Mills, of Bothwell, Cart- wright and other leading Ontario Grits had vigorously opposed the bounty. Beauso. liel’s remarks indicate clearly the anarchy just now reigning in the Grit camp.

Cartwright explained, for the informa- tion of Prior, that he could not make his want of confidence motion on account of the absence of some necessary information. This is a mere pretence. The split among the Grits is widening.

Laurier was not in his seat yesterday.

Lonpon, Aug. 27.

Furious storms in the north of England have done great damage to crops and buildings. A church near Shettield was blown down. Telegrams from all parts of the British [sles contain some tale of damage tecrops. The storm played great havoc on the fruit plantatiuns. It was dreadful in Lancashire and Yorkshire. The railway is blocked by a landslip due to the incessant rain. Lines are flooded and mining opera tions are stopped.

CANADA'S CENSUS.

They show the total population of Canada tu be four millions eight hundred and twenty-three thousanl three hundred and forty-four—less than half a million of an increase in ten years. The population of the Island is one hundred ana nine thousand and eighty-eight, an increase of one hundred and ninety-seven. New Brunswick increased only sixty-one, but Nova Scotia ten thousand.

Telegraphic News.

New York, Aug. 25.—The Herald’s Valparaiso, Chili, despatch dated August 24, says: ‘* Darkness stopped the battle at Vina del Mar, cpposite this city, which raged hotly all day Sunday before any decisive result was reached. Balmeceda’s line of defence was strongly fortified and was under range of guns from fort Oallao. lime after time the rebels dashed against the lines of the gevernment trvops, only to be repulsed with great bloodshed. Their artillery played dire work among Balma- ceda’s men. Attack and repulse were re- peatedly made with no decided advantage to either side. There was little regret on either side when darkness stopped the bloody work. When morning broke neither army appeared to be in 4 position to assume the offensive, and a practical truce to-day with no fighting has been the result. All, the business houses, offices and stores in the city are closed. Everybody who can do so left the city and few people are seen on streets.”

He was removed from benesth the crank before the next stroke but never recovered consciousness. He died at 12 45. He was a passenger on the boat, a Scotchman hy birth. His place of residence is unknown. He was unmarried and about 40 years old.

Cuicaco, Aug. 24.—Drunken brawling at a christening party last night resulted in the killing of Mrs. Amelia Darwin, by her brother, Albers Kinkai, alaborer. Friends | were invited to attend the party given in- the celebration of Darwin’s first baby. The evening was spent in card playing, singing and beer drinking, and at suid- night the latter had its effect.

A dispute arose between Kinkai and one of the guests, words led to blows and Kinkai drew I revolver which he flourished in the air, Mrs. Darwin attempted to wrest the revolver from him, and he pulled the trigger sending two bullets into his sister's breast, killing her almost instantly. An officer arrested the murderer.
