CONSERVATIVE PARTY AND THE QUEBEC CONFERENCE.
Political Outlook Promising, Espe- cially in the Northwest. [Seeetac TO THe KXamiver.]}
Moy1 REAL, Aug. l.—Sir Charles Tup-
per arrived here yesterday from England, and appeared to be in the best of health and spirits.
Be stated that the Conservative leaders
had erranged a vigorous plan of campaign
in Quebee and the Maritime Provinces, but this had been abandoned on account
of the (Quebec conference.
The Conservative party had no desire to doanything which weuld inthe least de- gree impair the success of that confers epee by creating in the minds of the Uni- ted States representatives a feeling that the Canadian Commissioners did not have full conterence.
Hereslized that no such opportunity of securing an adjuetiwsent of the affairs in diepute between the United States and Canada had ever before been offered.
It was brought about by the position of the United States in the present war, and the sympathy evidenced by the English and Canadian people had done much to create a more friendly teeling, which would be manifested in a reception of the teeulta coming from the Conference, if there were any results,
The political outlook was promising, especially in the Northwest. He believed that inthe next general electien the Liber- als would not bave more than two sup porters returned west of Winnipeg.
Sir Charles will remain in Montreal for Sfew dave and then pay a visit to Cape Breton, not having seen his constiiaents since the election.

UF THE SEAS,
Sensation in the Russian Press
CAUSED BY THE CRUISE OF A BRITISH SQUADRON
Of Enormous Weight and Great Fighting Power.
Loxpoy, July 29. —The Sebastopol cor- respondent of the Daily Graphic writes as follows :
“The expected cruise of a powerful British squadron in the North Sea is caus- ing a sensation in the Russian press, or i! is perhaps more currect to say the Russian press is doing its utmost to make a sensa- tiop out of it.
“The Kotlin, the Russian naval organ, aod several of the leading St. Petersburg journals, describe the approaching visit of this ‘co.ossal British armada, as an unmistakable demonstration of Eng: land’s impregnable sea-power, deliberately intended to exercise a mina‘ory impression upon Russia, and to remind her that, should the necessity suddenly arise, the Britisb fleet are now capable of smashing or Capturing, singly or combined the whole of the Continental flotillas.
“The encrmous weight and fighting power of the coming squadron, which is said to include six of the newest British battleships of 14,900 tons, two of 14,000 tons, six of 10,000 tons, and an equal num ber Of first-class armored cruisers, with an attendant following of torpedo boats, destroyers and transports, goes to prove, says the Russiav journals, the ‘im- pressive purpose’ of the special cruise; and the fact that the squadron will avoid Kiel in proceeding to Copenhagen, Christiania and Stockhoim, conclusively shows that Russia alone is the object ot the uausral demonstration.
“The Russian press is evidentally mis~ informed with regard to the ‘avoidance of the German naval port of Kiel,’ as it is tothat place that the British sequad- ron will first proceed. This, however, is of little consequence; the Russian prese may in this matter be left to ‘fit the cap’ to its own desired adjustment. The impres- sion which it seems so ready to accept will do no barm; on the contrary it wil! have an excellent and instructive effect. Here, in the Black Sea naval headquarters, for example, it is already assumed that should Russia claim the exclusive right of send- ing her Euxive battleships through the Dardanelles, Eogland would insiantly send a squadron like that going turough the Baltic on a pacific cruise ioato the Black Sea merely to enforce the international right of the ‘open door’ at the Dardanelles.
“Russia may have the sole and inital right. with Turkey’a formal consent, of opening the Black Sea door; but once opened, it will be the duty of Koglavd more especially to insist upon equally free ingress and egress for the other European fleets, otoerwise the Blaek sea would at once be practically as well as theoretically converted into a Russian lake, and the free navigation of tbe Danube would henceforth be controlled or blocked at the pleasure of the Russian Government.

WHY SPAIN HESITATED,
Conflicting Reports From Diplomats
AS TO PRESIDENT McKINLEY’S DISPOSITION.
Reports Varied Regarding His Ideas
of the Terms of Peace.
Lonpon, July 29.—A special despatch from Madrid saye: “The Government does not conceal that it hesitated for some days to go beyond an official exploration at Washington, because the diplomatic agents emp’oyed to make the soundings gave conflicting accounts of President McKin-
ley’s digposition. One represented him as eager to terminate the war on moderate condltioas; the other that the most onerous conditions would be imposed so much so
useless to sue officially.
When, however, it was seen that the American war preparations continued, Duke Almodevar de Rio, Minister of For- eign “Affaire, was instructed to send a note. The Cabinet met Wednesday evening to deliberate as to the best means and chan- nel of negotiation. Paris and London were both discussed. No decision was ar— rived at, but @ majority favored sending Senor Moret, former minister of the Col- Onies on a special mission to London to negotiate the treaty of peace with Ambas~
sador Hay.
Official feeling favors direct nego~ tiations = without uterference from outsiders, There is little doubt that if President McKinley’s reply proves an acceptable basis, the ne~
gotiations will not be protracted, since Spain, tor many reasons, is desirous of a speedy settlement, and not least so because at the present moment public opinion is ecalm..After today’s Cabinet Couacil, Senor Hagasia, the ¢remier, said he had grounds for hoping that an understanding might be arrived at, but he could say noth~ ing definite. Duke Almodovar de Rio said the European Cabinets had bees informed of the step Spain had taken, but net as to the text of the note sent to President Mc~ Kinley, The Cabinet covncil will not meet again until Friday evening, by which time President McKinley’s reply is expect- ed. The Ministerial B) Correo says the Gov~- ernment Communicated to the Queen Reg- ent io Council a despatch intimating that President McKinley on principle assented to the opening of negotiations.
El Imparcial says that the Carlist agi~ tation, which at first appeared to be trampled out, has re-commenced in the Provioce of Cuenca and in parts of Na- varre. .
Don Carlos Ordered Out.
Bernk, July 29,—The Federal Council of Switzerland, according to the assertion of eeveral newspapers, has intimated to Don Carlos, the Spanish pretender, now at Lucerne, that he must leave the country in case he starts an agitation in
Spain.
Camara’s Squadron Strengthened.
GinraLtarR, July 29.— The Spanish cruiser Lepauto, now at Carthagene, has been ordered to jsin Admiral Camara’s +quadron, which has been at Cadiz since Wednesday. The cruiser Alfonso XI. is quite unfit for sea. She requires extensive alterations.
