Cattle Shipments.

Extensive shipments of cattle from Cana- da, but especially from the Province of Ontario, are now almost daily occurrences. They are destined for the European and American markets, and must prove very en couraging to those farmers who have given attention to stock raising. A contemporary Says :

“The cattle trade in Toronto has been making great strides of late. During last week no less than 800 head were shipped to London and Liverpool, and 28 cars left to-day for the United ,Kingdom markets ria Montreal. The stock exported consists chiefly of grey Durhams, and animals of that brand are in great request to meet the ever increasing demand. So far, the aver- age weight per head is upwards of 1,400 pounds. From all indications Toronto is soon to become a head-centre of supply for the English markets.”

HOW ENGLAND PROPOSES TO PROTECT BRIT- ISH COMMERCE IN THE ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC.

New York, May 21.—A cable special to the Telegram says that the British Admrralty are making extensive arrangements for the the purpose of opposing Russia’s scheme of establishing a fleet of cruisers to prey upon British commerce. Country centres are to be established in the Bahamas and at New- foundland, in the Atlantic, and at Victoria and -Fijii, in the Pacific. At each of these stations the fleet will consist of three turret ships and three gunboats of the heaviest armament, two of the latter unarmored. Cruisers have been put in commission for special service. The oudicea, an unarmor- ed corvette, with a capacity of steaming 14 knots an hour, just commissioned, will prob- ably proceed to the Bahamas. The Ad- miralty have also under consideration the adoption of a patent propeller, of which the marvels are related. It is claimed that this invention can, in a few hours, be applied to any steamer, and by it the swiftness of ves- sel3 will be increased one-sixth.

Tea Duties.

Tue Halifax Reporter remarks that when the present Government determined to levy a duty upon tea, they made it a specific duty of five cents on the pound of tea. Sir John A: Macdonald opyosed the plan, and said : ‘*The Minister of Finance had the whole range of subjects open to taxation before him, and yet he has deliberately chosen out of this number a harmless beverage, a useful beverage, to impose an extra duty on tea, which is almost a necessary of life ; and he has imposed it on in the most obnoxious possible way. We have a specific duty of five cents per pound ; the same duiy is ley- ied on the 25 cents per pound tea of the poor man and on the 100 cents per pound tea of the rich man. This isa direct en- couragement to the use of the article, and it is an unequal amount of taxation. If the tax had been imposed ad valorem, according to value, they would have had two advan- tages in favor of this course; in the first place, this would only be doing justice to the masses who used cheap tea, and it would have made the rich man, who likes the aro- ma of the finer brands,—the Gunpowder, the Imperial the flavored Pekoe, and the other fancy grades,—to pay proportionately for the enjoyment of this luxury ; and while it would have had this effect, it would also have this other effect—it would to a great extent, if not altogether, have remedied the injustice that was perpetrated when the 10 per cent. discriminatory duty was taken off the tea some time ago, because as the ad valorem is reckoned according to value at place of export, it would have in part, if not altogether, removed the injustice which I have mentioned, and restored in a great degree our direct trade with China.”

There is the difference between the two parties in a nut shell.

A Contrast.

ae

CONSERVATIVE RULE Vs. ‘* REFORM.”

In his speech at London a few evenings ago Dr. Tupper contrasted the state of af- fairs under the two Governments as fol-

lows :—

We saved $2,000,000 per annum, paid our sinking fund account, and took off $2,- 000,000 of the people’s taxation. We were liberal, it is true, but it was without being extravagant, increasing the taxation, or reducing the surplus we had accumulated. Now with regard to the present Adminis- tration—their whole career had been mark- ed with extravagance. Instead of being in the position we were, with a surplus, they complained they had not enough. They were unable tc make the two ends meet. The hon. gentlemen then dealt at consider- _able length with Mr. Cartwright’s figures to show that he (Tupper) was right m the assertions he had made. Year after year. since the Reform party came into power, there had been deficits, additional taxation imposed upon the people, $35,000,000 had been added to the permanent debt of the country, and the splendid credit establish. ed by the late administration had been swept away. Notwithstanding their pro- fessions of economy, since they came into power the Grits had yearly increased their expenditure over and above the largest ever made by the old Government, and to-day they stand before the people, the independ-

ent people of this country, as an idle, worth-

_NO. 306.

less party. On this score the Liberal-Con- servative party were worthy of the confi- dence of the people of Canada, and claimed a verdict in their favor. And could the hon. gentlemen not prove all he said about the bungling policy of Cartwright and his friends, he weuld not stand where he did courting the people’s honest verdict in favor of the Liberal-Conservative party.

THE McCARTHY MURDER.

Evidence at the Inquest.

Suepiac, May 23.

The inquest was resumed on Thursday morning.

Henry ©. Wood, a railway conductor of Charlottetown, was the first witness. His evidence was unimportant, being merely a statement to the effect that David Cameron, of Kensington, P. E. L., had told him he had seen McCarthy at the railway station, Shediac, at 11 o'clock, on the night of the 12th Oct.

Annie Riley was the next witness. She was examined at length, but did not add anything material to the evidence already given.

William D. Mansfield testified to seeing McCarthy at seven o'clock on the evening of the 12th of Oct., on board the steamer at Point du Chene, and saw nothing further of him.

Antoine White, of Buctouche, swore to having left an express wagon at Osborne’s— he could not swear to the date. He left the wagon on the barn floor, and went to Amherst, and when came back next day he found the wagon outside, not far from the barn door. He asked Harry Osborne why the wagon was outside, and he replied because horses were put in. Witness thought horses could have been put in with- out taking the wagon out. He thought his wagon had been used, but had no reason for supposing so only that it was outside. He put his horse in the wagon and drove home, arriving there at two o’clock in the morning. Cannot say it was Sunday. Mrs. Lucas died the day he arrived home. Wit- ness had previously taken some beef to Dysart’s, but he did not think it left any marks in the wagon, as he had a quilt and straw under it- He came to Shediac again on the 24th Oct., and drove into the yard at Osborne’s. He followed Harry into the house. He was talking to his mother and said here is the man that was in and left his wagon at that time. Mrs. Osborne asked him if he was the man who left his wagon here that time. Witness replied that he left his wagon there once before. Nothing more was said. This express wagon had since been taken by Government, and it remains at Moncton. Had not a con- versation with John nor Eliza Osborne dur- ing his second visit.

To Mr. Gilbert—Examined the wagon in Moncton, but found no marks of blood.

(The dates supposed in this case are—he left home on the 10th Oct.; left Shediac on llth, for Amherst; returned to Shediac on 12th, and returned home on the morning of the 13th, which was Saturday, staying the night of the 12th at Damien White’s.)

To Mr. Gilbert —Was sure his nose never bled in that wagon; never had any cut pigs in the wagon.

To Mr. Tuck—Went to Cocaigne last night and talked this morning to Dizer about what time he had come down with express wagon, but could not ascertain if it was 10th or not.

Mr. Gilbert—Did you tell Adam Tait in Shediac to-day that Dizer told you it was the 10th you left home, and that you did not believe Dizer.

Witness replied that he might have done so, but that he was not on his oath.

To Mr. Tuck—-Some people in Shediac have to-day been trying to make me believe it was not the 12th I was here.

Mr. Gilbert remarked——Anthony, I have not been speaking to you /—No, was the re- ply.

Now, Anthony, said Mr. Tuck, tell us who you have been talking with about your evidence to-day?

Well, there was Adam Tait and John Nickerson, a relation of McCarthy’s.

This finished White’s testimony.

Dr. Campbell, dentist, was next called. On the 12th October was not well, but waa not confined to his room. The prisoner, John Osborne, was sick, and he understood he had typhoid fever. Think Osborne was down stairs on the llth between one and two. Osborne remained down stairs until three o’clock, when the doctor came in and ordered him to bed. Osborne arose again in an hour, and retired again about six o'clock. The boarders at the house on the 12th were the three apple-tree men anda Frenchman ; also two others who were run- ning a bar in Kirk’s Hotel, but he could not state they were there on the 12th Oc- tober. Don’t remember seeing a hatchet about the house. Could not say if he was in the bar-room the day of the tragedy. Got dinner no where else, if not there, that day. About7 o'clock went over to Deacon’s drug store and remained there until 9.30 on the evening of the 12¢h, Archy Wilson, clerk in the drug store, and he went over to the Waverly. Saw none of the members of family, but heard voices from the ladies sit- ting room; could not recognize any voices; walked into the kitchen, and witness and Wilson sat down; do not know if Annie Parker was scrubbing the dining-room. Harry Oshorne came in, but had no con- versation with him; sat there about half an hour; after Harry entered the kitchen,Mrs. Osborne and Eliza came in; they said noth-

ing he could remember and stayed there about fifteen or twenty minutes ; McCarthy
