The Split in the Grit Camp, o- Orrawa, Aug. 27. In the House yesterday the Opposition continued their obstruction tactics on the single item of wood fuel for the public buildings. The discussion lasted for seven hours. Flint, of Yarmouth, preferred additional corruption charges against Cochrane. _ On the second reading of the bill grant- ing a bounty on beet root sugar, Beausoliel (Grit) congratulated the Finance Minister upon his action in encouroging this impor- tant industry. Mills, of Bothwell, Cart- wright and other leading Ontario Grits had vigorously opposed the bounty. Beauso. liel’s remarks indicate clearly the anarchy just now reigning in the Grit camp. Cartwright explained, for the informa- tion of Prior, that he could not make his want of confidence motion on account of the absence of some necessary information. This is a mere pretence. The split among the Grits is widening. Laurier was not in his seat yesterday. AILY Se eel TARTE BACKS DOWN. Will Not Take Further Action. A Surprise Party for the Grits. ~ 27. Orrawa, Aug.

The grit members of the Committee stared at each other in blank amazement at the announcement and there was full grit caucus in the afternoon. Laurier’s vacant chair ian the House fol- lowing after the grit caucus indicates the state of affairs. Dalton McCarthy resumed his seat yes- terday Mercier is seriously ill.

New York, Aug. 25.—The Herald’s Valparaiso, Chili, despatch dated August 24, says: ‘* Darkness stopped the battle at Vina del Mar, cpposite this city, which raged hotly all day Sunday before any decisive result was reached. Balmeceda’s line of defence was strongly fortified and was under range of guns from fort Oallao. lime after time the rebels dashed against the lines of the gevernment trvops, only to be repulsed with great bloodshed. Their artillery played dire work among Balma- ceda’s men. Attack and repulse were re- peatedly made with no decided advantage to either side. There was little regret on either side when darkness stopped the bloody work. When morning broke neither army appeared to be in 4 position to assume the offensive, and a practical truce to-day with no fighting has been the result. All, the business houses, offices and stores in the city are closed. Everybody who can do so left the city and few people are seen on streets.” ANNAPOLIS, Aug. 25.—A fatal accident happened on the steamer Monticello on her trip across the bay this morning.

His place of residence is unknown. He was unmarried and about 40 years old. Cuicaco, Aug. 24.—Drunken brawling at a christening party last night resulted in the killing of Mrs. Amelia Darwin, by her brother, Albers Kinkai, alaborer. Friends | were invited to attend the party given in- the celebration of Darwin’s first baby. The evening was spent in card playing, singing and beer drinking, and at suid- night the latter had its effect. A dispute arose between Kinkai and one of the guests, words led to blows and Kinkai drew I revolver which he flourished in the air, Mrs. Darwin attempted to wrest the revolver from him, and he pulled the trigger sending two bullets into his sister's breast, killing her almost instantly.
