A Toronto despatch to the St John Sun says it is rumored that at a recent priyate meeting the Libernl managers de cided to prepare for the Ontario elections early in the coming autumn and that the demonstrations now preparing, ostensibly as ordinary politicai meetings, are really intended as the opening of the campaign.

They havea very nice way of making ap- pointments in the neighboring republic. William H. Campbell, an old-fashioned | Democrat, who has been Postmaster in a Vermont town for four years, has just step-

ESTATE IN SCOTLAND CLAIMED BY CHRISTIES, SHIPPEYS, MILLS,

RIPLEYS AND ATKINSONS.

A VAST THE

\ Moncton despatch says that Harvey Atkinson, barrister of that town, has been employed by parties in Nova Scotia to en- quire into a claim to an estate six million pounds sterling in Scotland. About 1840 Miss Iunes died near Edinburgh, leaving two millions of personal property and four millions of heritable estate, having made disposition in trust to her nearest of kin whomsoever. Several heirs have come for- ward and been admitted, but it is claimed

Leckie’s offer to ] the Prospect | coal wines for $40,000 is, however, likely be :ccepted. The ieading English papers are com- nenting upon the annual meeting of the Imperial Federation League. The Times, in the course of a recent article, expresses the opinion that ** if the colonies are agreed to levy no daties.on natural products and

manufactures of the mother country or other colonies, they could approach the Im- perial Parliament with an offer of closer poitical connection and a common system

of defence and free trade, the subject of a moderate differential tariff against all coun- tries outside the Imperial customs union, but while the colonies persist in their pre- sent trade policy the league is not likely tu carry its work beyond co-operation for Im- perial defence.”

—in the course of an article on the Queen's Birthday, the Boston Advertiser says: ‘* But in Canada, from the highest to the lowest, the 24th of May is a day of | general holiday and celebration. The same general spirit marks the occasion as with us on our ‘Glorious Fourth.’ Railroad excur- sions, games and athletic sports, picnics and speech-making are all combined to celebrate the occasion in a fitting manner, and the love of the motherland finds a hearty expression in every way. To those geutlemen who have been agitating * annex- tion ’ ceaselessly, in season and out, we be- lieve an excursion into any ot the provinces yesterday would have been a liberal educa- tion.

-The Prince Albert Times, alluding to . rumor that the Hon. Mr. Dewdney is about to visit that town, gives credit to the Minister of the Interior for the services he has already rendered to the North-west, and says that he seems determined to ad- minister the affairs of his department in the way which will be most to our advantage. It adds: “If he visits this place, as we trust he will, we consider it the duty of our citizens to give him the fitting public re- ception that his position and merits deserve at their hands.” But, of course, the Op- position press knows much more about the manner in which Mr. Dewdney manages the Department than those directly inter- ested, and will continue to assert that he is not doing what he should.$

—According to a return recently laid on the table of the British House of Commons JOS more vessels passed through the Suez Canal in 1888 than in 1887, the increase in net toanage being 737,810 tons, and in the dues paid 6,969,303 frances. The per centage of the tonnage of Great Britain was 78.65 of the total, as compared with 78.31 in 1887, Francs having diminished from 4.28 per cent. to 4.03. Germany is now fourth on the list, having taken the place of Holland, which oceupied that posi- tion in 1887. The tunnage for 1888 is the highest ever registered, and in spite of the dimunition of the rates of dues levied the tratlic receipts are less by only one million francs than the high figure reached in the prosperous year of 1883. The mean net tonnage of the entire navigation for 1888 was 1,930, as against 1,881 in the previous year. The return shows a considerable de- velopment of the night traffic through the canal. The average duration of passage through the canal for the total navigation was 50} hours, as compared with 34 hours in 1887, and 48) hours in 1883,

that the principal heir was one Robert Innes, who Ianded at Pictou in the ship Hector, the first immigrant ship from Scot- land that ever touched at that port. The heirs of Robert Innes include the Christies, Shipleys, Mills, Ripleys and Atkinson families, now located in Amherst, River Hebert, Boston and other payts. There are about seventy interested parties. Mr. Atkinson has secured a copy of the deceased lady's trust deed and other valuable docu- mentary evidence. He has visited Truro and Halitax searching registers, and it is proposed to send a delegate to Scotland to investigate further. Miss Innes was of a miserly disposition, and an account of her appeared in the St. John

Hon. John Lefurgey, Summerside, is at the Hotel Davies. Mr. W. B. Murdock, representing Wm. Darling & Co., Montreal, is among the guests at the Davies. Mr. J. Arlington Cooke, the temperance lecturer, has been engaged to give twolectures in Summerside on the evenings of the 10th and llth June. Perrin, who fired a blank cartridge at Presi- dent Carnot on the eve of the opening of the Paris exhibition, has been sentenced to four months’ imprisonment. The University of Toronto has conferred the degree of Doctor of Law on Sir John A. Mac- donald, Edward Blake, Oliver Mowat, Chan- cellor Boyd and Mr. Meredith.

Jesse is well fitted for the position, and we wish him unbounded suc- cess, Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Compton, of Summer- side, celebrated their crystal wedding last Monday evening. Over one hundred guests sat down to a sumptuous repast, and a genera’ good time was enjoyed during the evening. Mr, & Mrs. Compton weie the recipients of numerous and appropriate presents. Mr. Jas. Jay Campbell, a popular young newspaper man and playwright, of Boston, was recently tendered a complimentary en- tertainment by his many friends in that city. Among the performers was ‘‘ Senator” Giles Cox, formerly of Charlottetown. Mr. Camp- we may add, is a native of Tracadie. The Springfield, Mass., Daily News of the 2ist inst., says that Mr. J. Leslie Townsend, for nearly two years past a clerk at J. S. Marsh & Son’s, started that afternoon for his home in Prince Edward Island, in the hope of recovering his health, which has failed. Mr. Townsend belongs to Traveller’s Rest. Hon. Mr. Dewdney has received a com- munication from President Van Horne, stat- ing that theC. P. R. will give cheap ex- cursion rates this summer to points west of Moozomin, as urged. Broadview, Qu’ Appelle, Regina and Moose Jaw, will there- fore likely benefit by this extension of ex- cursion rates, made at the suggestion of the Minister of the Interior. ———________—$_9+9ee
