Criticism of the Spoils System.

Hon. Mr. Scott Makes an Admission.

Orrawa, May 5.—The House of Com- mons went Into committee Of supply yester- day afternoon, taking up the item of civil government. The money asked was voted without much criticism until the Depart- ment of the Interior was reached. Hon. Mr. Sifton was sharply condemned for the adoption of the spoils system in his office, and was exposed to a severe cross—fire while he explained the increased cost of his staff and his repeated violation of the civil service laws. :

In the Posteftice estimate, Mr. Mulock

explained bis new system of railway mail service, and stated that the plan adopted had worked successfully in the United States. Messrs. Armstrong, controller, and Sweetnam had been instructed to select from the railway mail clerks the best men for chiefs in their districts. The Senate had a discussion of the pre- ferential] clauses of the tariff yesterday afternoon. The matter came up on a motion of Senator Boulton about Japan. Sir McKenzie Bowell and Hon. Mr. Scott debated the question whether our colonies and other countries would be included in the lower schedule. Through the Secretary of State the public bas now the informe- tion that the Government purposes to in- clude New South Wales as entitled to pre- ferentia! terms. The Goverament thinks that the Belgium tariff is, “on the whole,” higher than ours, aod that Belgium is not entitled to a preference. The Government had not, the Secretary of State said, con- sulted the colonial treaues. Probably there would be difficulties about these treaties and the Government would have to meet them the best way they could.

FATAL AND DISASTROUS FIRE

Wild Stampede of a Crowd.

One Hundred Bodies Taken Out of the Ruins.

Paris, May 5.—A fire broke out yester- day in a crowded charitable bazaar in Rue Jean Conjou, at which the Duchess Duzers and other well-known patronesses were present. A terrible panic ensued. There wasa wild rush forthe exits, and the weaker persons were trampled on after having been knocked down in the stam- pede. The inflammable nature of the building and its contents caused the flames to spread with great rapidity, and in a very short time the bazaar was a mass of flame. One hundred dead bodies have, so far, been recovered.

Loxpoy, May 3.—The Princess of Wales has written to the Lord Mavor of London, pointing out that in the schemes to com- memorate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Vi-toria, in Juue, the poorest of the. poor, the tenants of the London siums have been overlooked. She says: “ Might I plead that they also should have a share in the feies of that blessed day and so remember to the end of their lives that great and good Queen whose reign, by the blessing ot God, has been prolonged for sixty years. Let us therefore provide these unfortunate ones, these beggars and outcasts, with a dinper or some substantial meal during the week of the jubilee. I have great pleasure in headivg a subscription list for that pur- pose with 100 pounds.”

Canpia, Island of Crete, May 3.—The admiral commanding the admirals of the foreign powers in Cretan waters hada conference yesterday with the iosurgent leaders at Paleokasiro, and promised the latter complete avtonomy, including that tLe nomination of their ruler should be subject to the ratification of the Cretan assembly.

The robbers brutally beat her bare feet with switches, burned them to a crisp with candles and also burned the hair from her head and roasted one ear. The woman finally told where her money was hidden and the rob- bers secured $500 and-escaped. The woman will probably die.
