The Question of Precedence. Orrawa, Sept. 8.

Chancery at Toronto, which decides that the commutation of sentence imposed by local Act is vested in the Lieutenant-Gov- ernors, involves a decision which has been much argued in reference to the prerogative of the Liecutenant-Governors and the pre- eedence dependent upon it. The decision that he holds the power of pardon is vir- tually a decision that he is the direct re- presentative of the Sovereign and as such holds precedence over even Princes of the Kingdom. This question has been a bone of contention in Quebec, where Cardinal Taschereau, as a foreign prince, claims pre- cedence over the Lieutenant-Governor, while Governor Angers has always disputed the claim, holding that which is now up-

aS representative of Her

held, that he, Majesty, is superior in rank to foreign

princes,

Penny Postage. Orrawa, Sept. 8. Mr. Heaton, a member of the British House of Commons, arrived here to-day to ask for the co-operation of the Dominion Government in the establishing of a penny postage system between England and America, and ultimately between all Eng- lish-speaking countries. Mr. Heaton re- cently interviewed Mr. Wannamaker, the Postmaster-General of the United States,

with the result that he hopes shortly to see a_three-cent postage rate established —_ between England

and the United States. The object of his visit to Ottawa is to discover what atti- tude the Canadian ministers will take to- wards the project and to lay before them the advisability of negotiating with the Washington Government a uniform trans- atlantic rate. Mr. Heaton proposes that the two cents paid in postage on this side is to be regarded as equivalent tu the Eng- lish penny, but as a beginning expects that a three cent system will be adopted. 2

The Government and Reciprocity.

Toronto, Sept. 1. The Empire of to-day says:

“The essential difference of; the Sherman proposals to the others respecting the trade of Canada which have been brought before Con- gress is that it does not bind us beforehand to an unrestricted reciprocity, which it is out of the question for us to adopt, but asks for a negotiation, leaving it an open. question as to what measure of reciprocal trade: would be mutually advantageous. Ii such a resolution pases we may be sure the: Dominion Govern- ment will meet Congress half way ; for while it has resisted as all patriotic Canadians have, the scheme which Mr. Wiman advocates, it has always manifested a disposition to facili- tate reciprocal trade in so far as it may safely and honorably be done.”

Sir John and the Chinese.

‘ : Orrawa, Sept. 8.

The British Columbia labor delegates in- terviewed the Premier to-day, asking for the exclusion of the Chinese, or at least, the prohibition of Chinese labor in mines. The Premier expressed doubt that Parlia- ment had the power under existing treaties to exclude them and said that if the United States persists in the policy of ex- clusion, it would be Canada’s: opportunity to monopolize the Chinese trade, which ‘is illimitable. He could see no reason why the Chinese should be excluded from min- ing, if permitted to engage in other pnrsuits.

Another Big Strike.

Lonpon, Sept. 8.

The dock laborers, coal porters, sailors and firemen at Southampton have struck against the employment of non-union men. The strikers have placed pickets at the railway stations, who menace the non- uniohists going from this city to take their places.

State Elections.

Avetsra, Sept. 8.

In the Maine State elections, held to- day, Burleigh is re-elected Governor by over 15,000 majority. For Congress, Reid is re-elected by over 4,500 majority ; Ding- ley, Boutelle and Milliken by 3,000 to 5,000 majority.

‘“‘A Lie From Broinnine to Enp.”—Mr. Joseph Pope, Sir John Macdonald’s _pri- vate secretary, has wired here regarding a despatch alleged to emanate from Wheel- ine, W. Va., that Sir John Macdonald, Sir Charles Tupper, Sir Hector. Langevin, Sir Alexander Murlean and cther Cana- dian, English and Scotch capitalists have purchased four hundted thousand acres of land in Mercer, Boone and Wyoming coun- ties, W. Va., as follows : ‘‘Itis a lie from beginning to end.”

Oxp. ReEsIpents.—Peter McCormack, of Boughton Island, is 89 years of age. On Friday last he put up forty stooks of oats without feeling the least inconvenience or fatigue. He enjoys the best of health and takes a hand at all kinds of farm work as occasion requires. His sister, Mrs. Archie McCormack, of Grand River, Lot 56, is per- haps the oldest woman in King’s County, being 103 years of age. She is still in posses- sion of all her faculties, is in good health, and, though thankful for having been spared so long, hopes to live some years yet.

Ligutine Harirax.—Tenders for the light- ing of Halifax were opened by the City Coun- cil Friday evening. The Halifax Gas Light Co, tendered for partial lighting by 500 gas lamps, but they are out of the race for the contract. The Eastern Electric Company of St. Jobn was the lowest. The figures of the tender are: Halifax Illuminating Co., 1,200 c. p., $72 per lamp; 2,000 c. p., $79 per lamp; Thompson-Houston Co. $70-$86; Yarmouth Mercantile and Manufacturing Co., $68-$73 ; St. John Eastern Electric Co., $62 66. It was moved that St. John get the contract, being the lowest ; but after a long discussion, the matter was deferred, and will come up for decision at a future meeting.

Tue Horsx Casz.—The action—the result of which was reported yesterday—arose out of a sale ofa horse to Mr. Newbery, which horse turned out to be unsound and subject to a bodily infirmity which considerably lessened his value. McKenzie, whoisa horse dealer in the Royalty, wished to sell the horse and for this purpose employed a neighbor named Steele to sell him to Newbery. This neighbor went to Newbery, representing himself to be

a man named Coffin, of Savage Har- bor, and sold the horse for $105. It was alleged by Newbery _ that Steele . alias Coffin warranted the horse

and certain words were used which, it was argued, amounted to a warranty, but this

oint the judge did not decide. McKenzie

enied that he authorized Stecle to warrant, but on the contrary expressly notified him not to warrant the horse. After Newbery got the horse and‘paid for him he discovered that he was unsound and that he had been victimized, Negotiations were entered into between New- bery and McKenzie (whom he discovered was Steel’s principal) for a return of the money and the horses, but without any result, and subsequently Newbery sold the horse for $100 and then brought this action for damages. The Judge found that there had been a fraud- ulent misrepresentation on the part of Steele, and that McKenzie was liable for the acts of his agent, especially as he was aware of the unsoundness and defects existing in the horse at the time he arranged with Steele to pass the horse off. on Newbery. Hon. Neil McLeod acted for the plaintiff, and Mr. Davies, Q.°C., for the defendant.
