RHODES’ RIG Mepresentation of the Colonies in the Im- i. pyrial Federation. A Capetown despatch retnarks that a reception was givén on the 24th inst, at Port Elizabeth to Ceci! Rhodes, formerly Prime .Minister of Cape Colony and ' Manager of the British South African Company, who ie en route to England to } testify before the Commission that will examine into the raid by Dy. Jameson on the Transvall. Mr. Rhodes made a speoch certain parts of which have excited con- siderable comment, He treated lengthily upon South African affairs, touching somewhat,fully upon affairs in Rhodesia, whence he arrived a few days ago, after taking part in the supressing of the Matabele revolt, and then said that he was going home to be examined regarding the Jameson expedition by his fellow countrymen, whose unctuous rectitude he well knew. This sarcastic reference to the investigating committee is taken to iadicate that Mr. Rhodes’ testimony will be far more ipteresting than was anticipated . In another speech, at Port Elizabeth, Mr. Rhodee, who, it will be recalled, some years ago contributed $56,000 to the Irisi: cause, said that in the course of bis nego- tiations with Charles Stuart Parnell the ‘atter promised to insert in the Rule Bill a clause allowing vermissive re vresentation of the colonics in the British | Parliament. aS ee RN me ee SIRT RITES WHAT THE POWERS WILL DO- Europe May Become Uneasy if the Unitea | States Encourages Cuba, The Loudon Times publishes a despatch from Paris saying that the United States has been confic dentially informed in the mest friendly terms that the European Powers could not remain impassive in the event of the United States abandoning the attitude of President Cleveland and bis Cabinet towards Cuba. Should the United States presume tu exercise pressure ou or encouraging them in the@ resistance, it has been informed that Europe generally might hecome uneasy at the idea of such an ex'ension of international action by the United States, inasmuch as it migbt at w given moment threaten almost all the powers whose possessions are in proximi~ ty to the United States,and might tempt the spirit of enterprise and encroachment that is inspiring the Sena‘e Committee on Foreign Relations. “If,” contiuues the writer, “I am correctly informed, the United States has been informed that Germany is already quite ready to decide with Spain in the event of the United States showing that she 1s disposed official- ly to side with the rebels. Moreover, academic conversations are proceeding in certain foreign offices anent the measures the powers should take to form a syndicate aaiost the invasion of Socialism which is now menacing all political organizations. It was during these pour—parlers that the friendly warning to the United States originatedSenator,—Cameron’s resolutions for the recognition of the Cuban insur- gents being regarded in some quarters as revolutionary. STILL DOUBT MACEO'S DEATH. An officer of the steamer Vigilancia, which arrived at New York from Havana a few days ago, said that while his vessel lay at Has:ana he learned from several Cubans that the belief prevailed there among adherents of the Cuban cause that Maceo was not murdered but was planning acoup d’etat in Matanzas. They bare their belief on a story told by a passenger on a train which started from the boundary of the province of Matanzas, who declared he saw General Maceo passing near by at the head of — troops. “There are many other reasons” continned the officer, “why it is reasonable to sup- pose Maceo is still living. There has not been exhibited in Havana one souvenir of the leaders death. The Spaniards might bave taken some part of his clothing as evidence. That you mav be certain would bave ‘been paraded before the public.” A DISASTROUS WATERS?POUT. The Portugese consulate in Boston bas received a petition from the island of St. Michael, in the Azores, sigaed by the Portugese governor and 19 principal citi- zens, asking aid for sufferers by the burst- ing of a giant water spout, Nov. 2nd, at the City of Pevoacao. The petition states there is much suffering for food, clothing and shelter, and gives some particulars of the calamity, than which, it states there has been none more devastating in the history of the island. Tons of water poured down upon the city which has about 25,000 inhabitants, mounting above the roofs of houses, ripping up streets, carrying destruction everywhere in its path. The torrent rushed down the slopes to the sea, tearing a wide channel through nine miles of country and carrying with it the homes of thousands of people. The Hood destroyed the town of Rideira Quente of 3,099 population, and several outlying parishes all along the coast. The fisher- men lost their boats and the shore was literally covered with corpses of those who perished in the flood. NEWS NOTES Mr. L. H. Davies, Minister of Marine and Fisheries, expects to have the Hudson Bay expedition, fur which Parliament voted $25,000 last session, ready to send out next spring. : The Cornwall Standard’s estimate is that the Liberal victory in Cornwall cost the Government and its friends between $30,000 and $40,000. It is no wonder the Conservatives were unsuccessful under such circumstances. They had te fignt a baok as we!l as a political party. The statement of Nova Scotia crops, issued by the Secretary of Agriculture, shows the yield of the past season to have been far above the average in nearly every- thing except potatoes, which, owing to the continued rains, are below. The fruit is the greatest in the history of the province. Japan and Peru have arranged a com- mercial treaty. Peru is to favor Japan’s manufactures, and Jap'n is to give pro- fessional treatment to Peru’s raw materials. Japan’s martial success is leading her to aspire to commercial conquests also. It was notexpected though that she would successfully invade this continent. Mr. Nelidoff, Russian Ambassador to Turkey, acted as spokesman for the coa- cert of European nations, bas notified the Sultan, that the agreement ofthe powers upon the question of the enforcement of reforms in Turkey is perfect and that they demand that there shall be no delay on the part of the porte in giving assent to the proposals for such reforms submitted by the representatives of the powers. ——- ae A Graduate of Toronto University “My children have been treated with Scott’» Emulsion from their earliest years.

The excitement over the Bishops’ man- dament still continues, Although the Liberals appear to be rnnuing for cover at full speed, it is generally believed by well infornyed politicians here that a crisis is at hand in the political as well as religious affairs of the Province of Quebec, and that a new nan will appear io the arena. The Bishops of the entire Province will issue a mandament forcibly denouncing the Manitoba settlement, and threatening dire disaster to any Catholic member of Parliament who does not protest against it. This will bring about the voluntary retirement of several French-Canadian Liberal members from the Commons, and the acceptance by others of places of emolument, so that ten or a dozen serious gaps will appear in the Liberal deputation frem this Province. Then Sir Joseph Adolphe Chapleau will leave Spencer- wood, and with his friends carry the vacant con-titueacies, and having taken hie seat for Terrebonne Mr, Chapleau wil resign and will assume the leadership of the French Conservative party.
