Tae WuirecHareL Mvurperks.--A recent London cable says that the latest theory about the Whitechapel murders is that they are not the work of one man, but probably a _ con- spiracy to murder unfortunates concocted by religious monomaniacs.

Tae AmericaAN AGRICULTURIST has greatly enlarged and expanded its household teatures, and the December issue is a beautiful Christ- mas number. There are several articles with fine and “delicate illustrations, describing a variety of attractive holiday gifts which can be made at home. ‘Christmas Gifts from Small Purses,” will be much appreciated by the young folks who have more taste and patience than money, and who want to re- remember all of their friends at Christmas time. Even the smallest girls will find some pretty things which they can make with very little aid, in the article upon “ Little Girls Christmas Work,” and the boys, too, will be grateful for the useful suggestion of ** Some- thing for a Boy to Make.

The Parnell Commission.

Lonpon, Dee. 12.

LLNER,

At the meeting of the Parnell Commis- sion to-day, Attorney-General Webster, forthe Times, announced that he would now proceed withthe examination of a number of landlords from County Wexford, to show the condition of that county. Sir Charles Russell, forthe Parnellites, pro- tested. Presiding Justice Hannen said he could only view the future with alarm. The court had been engaged many days, but had not yet arrived at the ead of any one branch of the inquiry. Only two branches had been entered upon, and several branches of equal importance re mained untouched. He again made an

| earnest appeal to the counsel to do their

best to compress the inquiry, and avoid wasting years of the lives offthose engaged in the case

The Panama Canal.

ParRIs, Dee. 12. A scene of excitements was enacted at the offices of the Panama Canal Co, to-day. At four o’clock M. DeLesseps appeared and said, ‘* My friends, the subscription is safe,

our adversaries are confounded. We do not need the help of the financiers. You have saved yourselves by your own exer-

tions. The canal is made.’ Here M. DeLesseps Was so overcome that he wept. Amid cheering, weeping and mutual con- gratulations all present shook hands with DeLesseps. When the excitement had partially abated news went around that 419.000 bonds had been subscribed for in Paris and the same number in the Pro- vinces.

The Short Line Again.

Moncton, Dec. 12.

At to-night’s meeting of the Town Council, a letter was read from Mayor Hazen, of Fredericton, setting forth cer- tain rumors that the Short Line Company had abandoned the line from Fredericton to Salisbury with the object of entering St. John over the New Brunswick railway, that such a course would be a breach of faith and injurious to Moncton and Hali- fax, and asking for the co-operation of Moncton with Fredericton and Halifax in securing the construction of the necessary link. Public meetings, with the object ot enforcing the claim upon the attention of the Government are suggested.

- Some Important Changes. Orrawa, Dec. 12.

It is understood that radical changes in the Federal banking system will be adopt- ed in 1890. The principal changes, it is believed, will be the adoption of an enactment authorising the Gov- ernment to practically control the issue of legal tender and correspondingly restricting the issue of “notes by various chartered banks. This change, if carried out, will be borrowed from the American banking system, which requires all charter- ed banks to limit their circulation to the amount of United States Government bonds they own.

Another Railway Accident. Kineston, Ont., Dec. 12.

By the spreading of a rail on the Ontario and Quebec division of the C. P. R., near Maberly, 17 cars filled with merchandise were thrown over an embankment and smashed into pieces. The loss is estimated at $50,000. No one was injured, as the van did not leave the track. One hundred men and two engines are clearing away the track.

akestioi Strong Language. Lonpon, Dec. 12.

Mr. Morley, at Clerkenwell this evening, condemned the Government's policy in East Africa. Hesaid: ‘*“‘ If we are not careful we shall have on our hands another abominable, profitless, purposeless Soudan- ese war. We are drifting intoa policy cruel to the Arabs, useless to Egypt and disgraceful to England.”

The Cigar Makers Meving. Orrawa, Dee. 12.
