A Meeting of the Soup Lailers THE PREMIER REFUSES TO SPEAK. —_—_—__——— ‘Chapleau Must Not Take the Figld. ee Qvesec, Dec. 14.—The sensation created y the publication of the “Langelier inter- view was nothing to that caused by the Soleil article in support of Langlier and in condemnation of the Laurier Govera- ment’s methods. Mr. Pacaud was always regarded as the last possible critic of Sir Wilfrid Laurier. The disorganization iv the party ranks may be judged when Svleil prints such statements as it dia A meeting of the Quebec Liberal Clud has been called to take a firm stand in the matterof public patrenage. The pro- nouncement of the meeting is looked for- ward to with a great deal of interest as is the vieit of Sir Wilfrid Laurier whose iaterview with his Quebec supporters is not likely to be a bit more pleasant to him than the last one was. Mowrreat, Dec. 14.—Sir Wilfrid Lau. rier is here, but be refusesto speak of the revolt of his party in Quebec. Orrawa, Dec. 14.-—A story isin circu- lation to the effect thatwhen tne preseot session of the Quebec legislature 1s con- cluded, Sir Adolphe Ckapleau may be sent to France to represent Canada at the World’s Fair of 1900.

Orrawa, Dec. 12.—The ment that the Pope intents to Papal nunciate in Ottawa is received with some reservation. The Church axthor- ities are noaware of any such movement, and think it must have emanated from the Government. The Cabinet Mia- istere, on the other hand, who have ex~ pressed an upinion, think that the suggese tion “has beei male by the bishops.” Av evening paper says “the proposition was very protabiv madeto the Vatican by Sir Wilfrid Laurier. Io fact, before Mgr. Merry del Val left Canada it was generally | nuderstoud that a permanent representa (tiwe wou.d be located here, as in the United States.” Wio'ver made the suggestion to the Vaticun to appointa nuocio to Canada, it ix difficult to see how itisto be carried out. Britain does not receive any such authority at present. There is no nuncio in Londen. iin Paris and ut rhe capitals of other Europeau nations. The question therefore | arises if the Pope, through Britain, will, as things are now, recognize in Ottawa what is not recogaized elsewhere in the British possessions. In some quarters it is thought that the Pope owing to the urgent appeals the Liberals are making for his advice, proposes to locate a Papal delegate permanently here, but that his relations to the Government will be un- official. Enquiry at the archbisbop’s palace elicited the information § that nothing was knowp there about the mat- ter. Mgr. Routhier didi not think the appeals of Roman Catholics in Canada from the decisions of the House of Bish- ops were sufficiently numerous to warrant His Holiness in appointing a permanent representative. The only appeal in years was that of the Liberal Government on the Manitoba Schoo! question. Torosto, Dec. 12.—At the opening meeting of the Canadian historical association, J. D. Edgardelivered the inaugural address. Lady Aberdeen made a short speech. She hoped to claim kinship with the famous Latour fam-lies in New Brunswick, who figured so heroic ally in the early history of Canada and she would be uuder an obligauoo to the /& -ociatioa if it would trace tne connection tur her. Maprzin, D ¢, 12.—E! Correo Espanol saysthat the Carlists have abandoned their prejected demonstra‘ion against President McKinley’s message to congress, as they have not been able to agree oo the subject It is alleged that the insurgents in eas ero Cuba have atkedthe government for details as to the extent and nature of autonomy with a view of coming toterms. St Jobo Sun: The rumor that the Pope is about to establish a permanent embas-y in I.ondon is rather improbable. But the scheme would be a great saving of es penee and trouble to Canada, if future governo- ments are to send as many ministers and ambassadors to Rome as bave been cent by the present ministry Leyexscrc, December, 12.—Thos. Lenehen, a farmet of New Ross, Lunen- | burg, ie in jail here charged wth murder- ously assaulting bie wife wiih an exe. The prisouer is seventy years of age. It is alleged that Lenehan during a fit of infanity or jealousy first struck his wife with the poi of the axeoathe head and twice with the blade, once above the ear and once on the throat. The prisoner is alleged to have then seized aknife, but was disarmed by his twosons, who were attracted by their mo‘her’s cries. It is believed that Lenehen intended murdering his wife. He attacked her from bebicd. The blows dealt the woman knocked her down and one blew almost severed her wind pipe. Blood spattered the grouad around. Mrs. Lenehen is in a critical condition. The prisouer will not be tried until after the real extent of his wife’s injuries are ascertained. New Ross is twenty miles from Chester, Lospox, December 12.—Military circles are praisiog Sir Willia«e Lockhart’s conduct of the Campaign in India. The exciting events that have occurred in other quarters of the world during the last thirty days have diverted attention from the attempt to punith the Afridis. But the uodertaking, in iis way, is the most re- markable in which England has, ever engaged. Lockhart bas under bis personal com mand a larger toly of troops than was ever before commanded by a British general. He has 76,000 men in the field, morethan Wellington had at Waterloo, where only 25,000 were actually British. In the exceptionally diiicult conditious, tLe mountainous and unknown country, the cold, the labor of making cOmmunica- tions along a very extend<d line and the fierce fanaticism of the tribes that believe they are fighting in a righteous cause and for very existence. Sir William Lockhart has displayed remarkable ingenuity and resource. The campaign has been suspended for the severe werther, but parliament will meet before it is reeumed, and thedemands of India, Central Africa and the Niger rezion may help the Sal s»ury governme.t t» push through the bill for an increase of military strength which Lord Salisbary has outlined. The proportion of officers killed'in Lockhart’s campaizn is 32, as against 74 men. This is a state of things | unheard of,<yen in the Englisb frontier — sa ail cabled state- | locate a There ia !
