Daliee |. 7 and prisoners stopped at the barracks on | Saturday night, but on Sunday morning the | prisoners eflected their escape by a strata- | gem of the most daring character. After} breakfast, ‘‘Cracker Box’ called the police- | men and Barrett and Miller, dri up to the table to show them a tri with a pack of cards. They all stepped close up when ‘Cracker Box” adroitly drew a revolver from one of the police men's pockets, and levellin, r it at the Ser Gordon hesitated to obey, and ** Cracker Box” tired twice. The ‘Serge ant and the | others then threw up their hands and the prisoners were masters of the situation. ** Cracker Box” coolly disarmed the party ; | ordered Barre:tt and Miller to bealend | the policemen, and when that was secure ly done he left Galla charge of | the whole party, and went out to saddle | the policemen’s horses.

The Orange Grand Lodge of North America is in session here. Mackenzie Bowell delivered an address. The following resolution was passed : “That the Grand Lodge of British North America takes this opportunity of declaring the continued loyalty = of the Orange association in Canada to the British Crown and the unity of the Empire; and our determined opposi- tion will be given to Gladstone's attempt to pander to the solicitation of the Parnellites and other disloyal parties throughout Eng- land and the British dominions in general. Ve hereby pledge ourselves to aid and sup- port the Loyalists in Ireland by men and means, if necessary, in their struggle to maintain the integrity of the Empire, and their civil and religious liberties. A committee was appointed to carry out the object of the resolution and to colloct funds in aid of the loyalists. A cablegram was sent to Johnson, M. P., informing him of the passage of the reso-. lution and also to the speaker of fhe British Parliament. Hiome Rule Debate. Lonpvon, June 4. Contrary to general expectation the vote on the Home Rule Bill was not taken last night. Morley, Secretary for Ireland, re sumed the: debate and announced that the Government had decided to proceed toa vote on the details of the Bill, as it now stands, instead of accepting the resolution affirming the principle of Home Rule. Gladstone never expected to succeed with one blow or to carry his scheme with a rush. Neither the vote nor an appeal to the country would be the end of this ques- tion. Let not its opponents imagine that by driving the Government from the stage the curtain w vuld fall on the last scene of the fifth and final act of the Irish question. One thing is certain no other measure, un- less based on Gladstone’s lines could be carried one single eflective step. bate adjourned. mo, . lhe de- rr Conferring Honors. Wotrvitte, N.
