THe DISPUTE WITH PORTUGAL England’s Policy Condemned. DEMONSTRATIVE STUDENTS. Paris, Jan. 14. The papers here unanimously condemn the policy followed by England in the dis- pute with Portugal as a violation of the Act of the Berlin Conference. Portugal, they say, is unable to resist the demands made by England. If she had resisted it would have furnished a pretext for Eng- land to seize the mouth of the Zambezie River and Delogoa Bay. The papers all agree that European opinion will judge England severely. Maprip, Jan. 14, The papers in the city roundly abuse England for the stand she took in forcing Portugil to accede to her demands, relative to territory in East Africa. The Spanish Republicans are closely watching the course of events, Lisson, Jan. 14. The Federal Club of this city have adopted resolutions congratulating the Por- tugnese upon their energetic protest against the demands of England, and upon the ap- parent -republican tendency expressed in the popular demonstration of Portugal. _ The government sent a circular note to the powers on- Sunday relative to the dispute . with England which alleges that England did not wait for the reply of Senhor Gomez on January 10th to the note of Lord Salisbury, but sub- mtted her ultimitum on mere reports, that Major Serpa Pinto had disobeyed the telegraphic order sent to him by the Portu- guese Government in compliance with the wishes of Lord Salisbury. The note further says that Senhor Gomez never alluded to an arbitration during negotiations, but suggested throughout the holding of an In- ternational Conference to settle the diffi- culty. Demonstratious of the students continue to keep the city unquiet. To-day they veiled the statue of old Portuguese naviga- tors around the Carnoves munument as a sign of national mourning. A- crowd luoked on with sympathy, and shouted, ‘Down with England! Down with the pirates !” General Vaseo Guedes, minister of war, will come home at once. The News from Ottawa. Orrawa, Jan. 14. The present arrangement is that the Ad- dress in reply to the Speech from the Throne wii] be moved in the House of Cum- mons by Mr. Pope, the new member for Compton, and seconded by Mr. Earle, of British Columbia. -In the Senate the Ad- dress will be moved by Mr. Murphy, of Montreal, and seconded by Mr. Longhead, of Calgary. A deputation waited upon the Govern- ment to-day and asked for a subsidy fora railwy northward from Three Rivers. tir John Thompson is still confined to his room by influenza. In aletter published here A. M. Sten- house, one of the leaders of the Mormon colony in the Northwest, predicted that before seven years polygamy will be influ- eutially represented in the Parliament of Great Britain. The Fire at Cardigan. Mr. William Minto and his head clerk, Mr. Peter McPherson, were interviewed on the subject of the fire at Cardigan, at the Osborne House this afternoon by an EXAMINER representative. Mr. Minto said that he had not been at the store for about a week, and knew nothing whatever about the fire until after the building was de- stroyed. He believes that the fire was set by some person or persuns who first robbed the store. ; Mr. McPherson says that he and his two assistants in- the store locked up for the night on Monday evening at six o'clock. There was no sign of fire when they left the store. At about half-past four the next morning he was aroused from his slumbers and told that the store was on fire. Ke gotto the scene of the fire as quickly as possible, only to find that it was impossible to save any- thing. He agrees with Mr. Minto that the fire was the work of an incendiary, and that the store w.s plundered. He says further that several persons report seeing a light, about the size of that which would be made by a common lantern, in the vicinity of the store about three o’clock on the morning of the fire, but whether this light was the beginning of the fire or was from a lantern carried by the incendiary, is a matter about which there will lhkely be some difference of opinion. Epworth League, A meeting of the Epworth League of the Methodist Brick Church, was held on Mon- day evening, and the following officers were elected by ballot : President—W. E. Dawson,” Esq. Vice Presidents—W. C. Turner, Richard, Goff, Warren Miller, Stewart C. Moore, Treasurer—E Hubert Beer. Secretary—F. W. L. Moore. There are several departments of work embraced by the Leagne, each presided over by a Vice President, such as Christian Work, Literature, Social and Entertaining Departments, and within them will be found employment for all who may unite. The strength of the League is now about a hundred. This organization is doing a great work inthe United States, and is being largely introduced into Canada. At the close of the meeting, the Rev.Mr. Read, who was to leave that evening on 4 { Ottawa, was presented with a hastily { $60 by a few of his’friends, appreciation of himself and trip to got up purse 0 as a token of his ministry.
