Tre Petriot denies that the Policy ol ‘‘ Unrestricted Reciprocity ” would lead to direct taxation, or ‘‘ annexation.” But it} does not show how the millions of revenue which will be lost if that policy be adopted can be made up Last year the duty col lected on account of articles imported from amounted to $7,371,- the United States will have 143,16 That amount, at ‘least, to be obtained in some other way. More | than that: an increased import from the { n ted States will, Lec sarily, lead to i vreased trade from other countries. We may be sure that the United States w l} have nothing whatever to do with Unre stricted Reciprocity if Canada will not be come an importer of American manufac- tured goods in largely increased volume. Consequently we shall have to realize the amount of duty which is certain to be lost as aresult of the trausfer of trade from Great Britain and other countries to the United States. How will it be possible to do this if not by means of direct taxation We may compute that $14,000,000 of revenue will be lost to Canada as a result of the adoption of the policy of Unrestricted Reciprocity,—and bs well within the mark. Can this amount be ther means than that of ine obtained by any expedient of higher of the world to timer direct taxation duties as against the res‘ may be tried ; if ao, the tendency trade with the States and decreased trade with the world will be stronger, and still more rev@iue will be! Then, can any prudent, thoughtful man + ISL come to any other conclusion than this: that an increase ia the volume of imports the trease ot imports from the rest sna a Corresponding de- of the wurld from States will tend towards Annexation *+Oere —The arrivil of three days’ mails on Saturday has necessitated the exclusion of editorials and correspondence from this issue of The EXAMINER ies Sa a a —The attention of the Commissioner of Public Works is directed to the bridge at Granville, New London, known as Morris's Reports state that it is in a bad is Bridge. condition, and that now, in the winter, the best time to have it repaired, Disaster on the Intercolonial 4 BRIDGE —CARS WECKED— *ASSENGERS KILLED AND FORTY WOUNDED, A TRAIN JUMPS TEN I The throvgh train for Montreal, which left Halifax at 2.15 on Wednesday after- noon, met with a disaster at Sr. Joseph, a small station four miles east of Levis, Que., as a result of which ten passengers were killed and forty wounded —amoeng the lat- ter being Miss Jennie McGarry, the elocu- tionist, well and favorably known in Char- lottetown. This is the most disastrous ac- cideut that ever occurred on the Intercolo- nial, and it is said that it is the firat time in the history of the road that a passenger has been killed in transit. The train way in charge of Conductor George Walker and Engineer Thomas Mur- phy. Three miles east of Puint Lovis is St Joseph de Levis, and in the latter place the track crosses the maiu street by an overhead bridge. Just as the train reached this bridye, running at the usual rajil rate of speed, something caught or broke on the baggage car, which leaped and fell into the space between the walls of the bridge, and his car was followed by four others. The engine did not go through, but reached the west side of the bridge in safety. ‘The crash of the cars as they struck the road- way below was equalied by the shrieks and cries of the atlrighted passengers. A terzible acene of confusion eusued. The second-class passengers were all injured, their car going off the track firat was underneath, the other cars piling on top of it. A passenger states that the second class car wheeled complete- iy around twice before striking the ground, Many of the injured passengers wil die. The accident happened on the Joop line running in from St. Charles Junction to Levis, a distance of 18 miles. At Horlska Junctionconnectionis made with the Quebec Central, and from there to Levis a distance of six miles, there is a heavy down grade coming west as the track comes down from the heights to nearly the river's level. Pass. ing through the village of St. Joseph, the road-bed is high above the streets on solid embankment, aad across the main street is a bridge about 25 feet long and 30 feet above the street. The embankment con- tinues beyond the bridge some distance, and along here the track makes a number of sharp curves with heavy down grade. At a short distance above Levis the road str kes the bank of the St. Law- rence, andthen runs along crib work, at a considerab'e elevation above the water, until Levis station is reached. Although the grades on the branch are heavy and the curves numerous and sharp, the line is kept in first-class condition. The real cause of the accident has not yet been definitely uscertained, though it is said to be a broken ax!e on the baggage car. —_— he ee Personal. We are pleased to see that Mr. H. A.

The leaders ought to assemble the members ‘and explain the necessity of withdrawing the control of the central league at from | Dublin.” : | Ata large meeting at Youghal, at which Keller presided, resolutions con- demning Parnell were adopted. | The Bishop of Ossory, whose diocese in- | cludes Kilkenny, has issued a strong ad- ldress against Parnell. He reminds the electors that even a smal! minority in favor of Parnell will encourage him to pursue his fell work of dividing the Irish nation. At Wesport, county Mayo, to-day, Mr. Parnell and his followers were denounced fromthe altar. In many other Catholic churches similar denunciations were ut- tered. i te Uanon i | | OFFICIALS, fhe Freeman's Journal says Francis Xavier O’Brien, treasurer of the National league, refuses to pay the salaries of the league officials on the ground that they are not neutral. ‘The dispute has caused the bank in which the league’s money is depoa- ited to order its branches no. to honor cheques sent to evicted lenants by that or- gamiz viion.

At a stormy Nationalist convention at Newry resolutions were adopted strongly denouncing Parnell and the Freeman's Journal, and calling for the resignation of Justin Huntley McCarthy, who represents Newry in parliament, because of his having supported Parnell. The Clonakilty Board of Guardians have denounced Parnell, and have resolved to withhold the collection of the tenants’ fund. The Carrick-on-Suir Board of Guardiaus have reseinded their vote of want of con- fidence in Parnell. Messrs. Maurice Healy, Leamy, and Morrough to-day delivered addresses be- fore the Douglas branch of the League, expressing approval of Parnell’s deposition. DAVITT S MESSAGE TO BASSETLAW. Mr. Davitt has wired to the Bassetlaw Liberals : ** The Kilkenny Tories will vote for Parnell’s candidate. If Bassetlaw de- feats Balfour’s Coercionist new ally Parnell, IS PARNELL AFRAID OF CORK ! The Daily News says that Mr. Parnell, in condemning Sir John Pope Hennessey, ce ndemns himself. ** It is noticeable,” it adds, ‘that Mr. Parnell avoids meeting his constituents face to face. While in hat city he only addressed a few friends in the chamber cf Commerce. A collision occurred between the Par- néllites and McCarthyites, while holding a meeting at Castle Corner on Dee. 16th. Parnell was driving away when a bag of lime was thrown at him, the lime filling his eyes. He was taken to Kilkenny, where he lies in the hands of a physician, suffering intensely. IS PARNELL MAD? A correspondent of the New York Herald cabling from Kilkenny asks: ‘* Are Mr. Parnell’s mental powers failing?” and adds: ‘“*A couple of weeks ago Mr. Labouchere said he always thought Mr. Parnell was a man who might gomad, and recent events made him concluds that the evil day had come. Not afew who heard him yesterday (Saturday) believe that his mind is {un settled. I was in the post-office after on3 o’clock this morning when he rushed ia, wrote a telegram, rushed out again with eyes fixed and features set, and seemed to see no one, though there were «a number in the room whom he knew well.” Referring to the meeting on Saturday which was addressed by Parnel! aud a num- ber of hissupporters, the Herald’s corres- pundent says: ‘* The peuple acted curivs- ly. They were anxious to see and hea Parnell, but, having done so, manifested no satisfaction, except a minority of shout- ers in the front, but the main body of the people were silent. The cheers came only from the roughest element, and beys. It is quite common to hear men and women ask, ‘WHICH IS PARNELL ? He does not seem tu be kuown except by name.” The same writer says it is certainly a fact that the Tories are working for Par- nell, aud quotes Michael Davitt, who re- turned cn Saturday night from @ yisit to Castlecomer, and the coal m'nes on the edge of (Jueen’s county, 2s saying ‘‘Parnell will not get more than 20 votes outside of Cuaservatives, and they are all for him. There are about 4,600 vot sfin North Kil- kenny, and as sure as I live, we will have at least a majority of 1,000. Parnell is undoing the work of years, inciting racial hatred after years spent by all of us in up- rooting it. For he and the rest of us know that Home Rule cannot come to Ireland excep! through the English people, whom he is now trying to excite against us; but we will win. He may hive the rough, anything elements with him; may have mobs to hoot; but people who have the gocd of the country at heart are with us.” DAVITE AT BALINIKILL. Mr. Davitt, accompanied by Father O'Halloran, was ihe first of prominent speakers {> arrive at the meeting at Bailina- kill, and he took his stand in the higher part of the square near the church. Cheers and counter cheers and partizan shouts were vociferously indulged by the assem- bled members of the two factions. As Mr. which were William Redmond, M. P., Father Ryan and other Parnellites, was driven through the lower part of the square, followed by a cheering crowd, Amid | chorus of mingled cheers and execrations, | Mr. Scully took up the speaking and was, expressing his views when great shouting announced the arrival of Parnell and Har- rison and a number of supporters on horse- back and in cars Parnell’s appearance beside Redmond was the signal for cheers and yells of ‘‘Tally-ho !” ‘*The Fox !” and **Kitty’s petticoat |” : MR. PARNELL’S SPEECH, Amid the din Parnell spoke to the group around him as follows: ‘*‘Il come among you to insult no man. (Edward Harrington —‘*No, we will protect ourselves”) 1 come to speak of the great National crisis. 1 will not enter into a personal contest or squabble with any man. I regret that Mr. Davitt is not at my side—(cries of ** Down with him”)—to fight for Ireland with me as strongly as heretofore. I will speak only about Hennessy, the man who went to Parliament in 1861 as a Tory supporter of Disraeli, and who now wants to go as 4 Liberal supporter of Gladstone. In 1861 Hennessy defended in the House of Com- mons the evictions proceeding throughout King’s Ccunty. (Yells of ** To hell with him.”) Will Kilkenny take a man who defended the extermination of these people ¢ (Cries of ‘Never.”) Disraeli gave him a place and pension.” The din here increasing, Parnell paused, and pointing towards the Opposition meet- ing said: ‘* Let’s get away from these lunatics. I can’t here my own voice.” Mr. Harrington shouted, ‘‘ Don’t let us leave the fleld to them, now.” ‘* THIS RAT,” HENNESSEY. Parnell resumed, maintaining that the consistency of his public life had been pre- served amid his increasing efforts to create and preserve an independent Irish party. Men like Hennessy were now attempting to destroy their enemies. They had been unable to cope with them in the open field; they were unable to meet them with physi- cal force, so they sent **this rat’ Hennessey to try to do by corruption what they had failed todo by every method The internal dissensicns which were destroying the party were not of his creating. Having made an unavailing fight at Weatminster for inde- pendence, he had been forced to appeal to the people. (Mr. Redmond—‘‘ We will fight for you till death.”) 1f the people were slack and cowardly, if they failed to come to a just, true and patriotic decision, Ireland’s cause was lost for a lifetime. (Cheers, ) A MANDFULL OF LIME IN HIS EYES. While other Parnellites were addressing the crowd anumber of Davitt’s followers got together and began hooting at the speakers. The Parnellites closed around the vehicle from which their orators were addressing the people, and the police ap- peared and tried to divide the factions The meeting ended in a scene of wild con- fusion, and Parnell and his friends drove off amid showers of stones and mud. Fre- quent attempts to assail the members of the party were made, and several bags filled with lime were thrown at Parnell. Har- rington’s shoulders were covered with lime, and a mess of lime struck Parneil full in the face, completely blinding him. This infuriated Parnell’s friends, Harrington ad- vancing towards Father Downey, who was at the head of Parnell’s opponents, and shouting, ‘‘Cowards, you are a disgrace to your church.” The police again interfered, and Parnell’s party, who had left their cars, again took their seats, and finally got away on the road. YARNELL’S AGONY, Mr. Parnell’s eyes, which were quite closed, were intensely painful. He was soon obliged to stop his carriaga, and he entered a laborer’s cabin in a fainting con- dition. A local doctor attended him. The lime had become caked beneath his eyelids, and the doctor was only able to remove aome of it by using a silk handkerchief and some hair oil in the cabin. The physician finally advised Parnell to drive to Kii- kenny. The latter proceeded on his jour ney, but the pain again became so intense that a second halt was made, this time at « roadside public house, where the ducto made further efforts to relieve the terrible pain with which Mr. Parneil was suffering. The doctor at this place procured a quan tity of castor oil, which he poured freely into Mr. Parnell’s eyes. He then tried t scrape off some more of the lime, using the point of an ordinary lead pencil. The lime, however, had become crusted insid+ the eyelids, and the doctor, with the crude implements at hand, was only able to re- move the torturing substance slowly and with much difficulty. Surgeon Hackett, who attended Mr. Parnell along the road, stated at a late hour to-night that all the lime had been re- moved, but the patient was still suffering intensely. He said he did not anticipate from present appearances permanent injury to Parnell’s sight. ‘* MEVER MIND THE PAIN.” The doctor apologized to Mr Parnell for causing him so much pain, but said it was unavoidable. Mr. Parnell replied : ‘* Never mind the pain. Do your best ; don’t let me lose my sight.” The doctor poured more oil into Mr. Pacnell’s eyes and said he hoped the case was not so bad as that. Finding he was unable to remove al) the lime the doctor urged Mr. Parnell to drive with all speed to the town and this wasdone. Arriving at the Victoria hotei Mr. Parnell had to be led from the wagguon to his room. He reclined in an arm chair apparently sightless and suffering the most intense agony. He still remains in the hands of his doctors. ARCHBISHOP 0'BRIEN'S OPINION. His Grace Archbishop O’Brien, the leading Irish Canadian ecclessiastic, is the firat to publicly express himself on the question of the leadership of the Irish nation. His Gree: said to a Halitax Herald reporter that while every Jrishiman recognizes the preat gervices Parnell has rendered the Irish nation and while deeply regreting for his own sake the position to which he has bvought himself, there is no consideration under which he can continue to lead the Irish peop'e. All private interests must give way to the public good The best interests of the Irish nation as well as the interests of morality demand Parnell’s retirement. The suggestion made by some that he should temporarly retice, marry Mrs. O'Shea and then reappear as leader, would only serve to complicate matters, and would make it still more diflicult for him to be again received ae leader. The Catholic Chuich under no circumstances recognizes the marijage of diverced persons, sherefore neither the hierarchy nor any self respecting Catholic woman could eyer receive Mrs. Davitt began his speech, a wagonette, ia —_—_-——-- BEER - BROS.

While Parnell has triumphed over many political obstacles, he will find it impossible to succeed against the moral force now arrayed against him. No ove man, how- ever great, is essential of the success of the r ghteous cause of home rule. The Archs bishop added that he has long thought it a blunder, ou the part of the lish parliemen- ary party to have allowed Parnell to wield such absolute power. He expresses great admiration for the abii'y and capacity dis- played by William O’Brien and regards him as an abler man than even Parnell, SSS a — Meeting of Lobster Packers and Fishermen of Prince Edward Island.
