‘Many Families Homeless.

—

Orrawa, June 5.

A fire broke out in Hull Court House this evening, while the Cireuit Court was in session, and before it could be controlled between 350 and 450 houses were burned, and 2,500 people made homeless. The Catholic Chureh and the Presbyterian church, valued ac $90,000, were complete- ly destroyed. A high wind was blowing at the time, and the flying cinders caused fires to break ont in new places, every few minutes. All that part of Hull known as Britannia Street, and the Ottawa River east of the market, was burned over. At one time it was feared that the houses and lumber piles on the Ottawa side of the river would be set on fire by flying cinders. To-night hundreds of families are camped in the open air without shelter of any kind, Prompt measures of relief have been taken and mattters-are likely to be in gocd shape to-morrow. Application has been made to the militia department for tents to shelter the homeless. The loss is hard to estimate. It may be $500,000 and possibly $800,000. The insurance will not reach one-fifth of this amount. The origin of the fire is yn- certain,

MonrreaL, June 5.

Ex-Constable Bureau, the last of the trio of the Grand Trunk robbers, was this morn- ing sentenced to seven years in the peniten- tiary.

The Joint Committee appointed two years ago by the Methodist Conference, and Presbyterians, to consider the amalgama- tion of Church work in poor and sparsely settled parts, held its first meet ng to-day at the Presbyterian College. The organ- ization was completed, and a motion adopted that the commission was ready to commence work. The meeting was then ad- journed at the call of the joint secretaries.

The Montreal Law and Order League has decided to abandon its crusade against ob- jectionable license holders, claiming that under the present commissioners it is iim- possible to get a License Act administered in a workable and reasonable manner.

News from Ottawa.

Orrawa, June 5.

The Montreal bucket shop proprietors have taken legal opinion as to the operation of the bill against them, anda plan has been prepared by leading counsel which enables them to transact ‘business without coming un ler the provisions of the Act.

The Marine Department has received notice that the Imperial Board of Trade have ecancelied the certificates of Jesse Jones, of Weymouth, and Clarence Oox, of Maitland, master and mate respectively of the Macedon, of St. John, owing to their conviction before the British Naval Courc of cruelty and neglect, by which it was alleged several of their crew lost their lives while on a voyage from Philadelphia to Japan in 1887.

The Fisheries.

WasHIncton, June 5.

Senator Chandler introduced a bill to amend the Fishery Retaliation Act by striking out the words ‘* In his discretion,” and also striking out reference to ‘* other products of the Dominion than fish.” This would absvlutely deny Canadian yessels the right of entry, whenever ,the President is satisfied that the rights of American’s in Dominion ports are abridged, or whenever they are subjected, and would also forbid importation of Canadian fish or salt fish.
