Dec.::0.—The Constantinople eorresp ndent of The Standard telegraphs that M.Nelidotr.ihe Russian Ambassador, had a long private audience with the Sultan on Wednesday, lie says that it would cause no surprise should it he learned that there is a secret Russe Turkish treaty.It is well known in (Vnstaulinople that the so-called concert of the powers consists of a confused entent* between live of them, while Russia hacks Turkey, whose finances are in a hopeless condition.Russia, it is said, is now offering to loan money to the Porte.A Russian syndicate, which is strongly supported by the Russian Embassy, has applied for a concession lor a petroleum monopoly, offering therefor the sum • f 1250.000 yearly.All the foreign Embassies, with the exception of the Russian, are prepared to strenuously resist the granting of the monopoly.Turkey’s financial troubles reached such a pitch last week that the treasury applied to every province for £20,000 with which to pay the troops.Smyrna was the only vilayet that was able to meet the demand .The Chronicle prints a despatch from Constantinople saying that the constant movements of the Black Sea fleet lead to the belief that it may make a surprise visit to Constantinople on the pretext of assisting the Sultan to «pieil carefully pr« pared disorders.The Times prints a despatch from Constantinople saying that Raif Pasha, the head of the Customs Department, has been transferred to Aleppo because of his refusal to place at the dlsp sal of the palace the customs receipts set apart under special assignments.The palace's financial acts during the past six weeks have been strangely foolish.The streets of the Ity were strewn with handbills Friday night protesting against the Injustice of spending £5,000 In gifts for the Czar while the Sultan's servants are starving owing to the non-payment of their wages, which are I rig overdue It Is reported that the Insurgent Armenians at Zeitoun have been reinforced by five hundred men from Gunim.and that they have taken new positions of defence.Dragomans from the six Embassies went to the Porte on Saturday and offered to negotiate with the Insurgents to bring about the apltulatinn of Zeitoun.The Porte will give Its answer to the offer on Monday The Daily News will to-morrow print a despatch from Its Constantinople correspondent saying that the Turkish soldiers who are Investing Zeitoun are suffering terribly from the cold.On an average 50 deaths from exposure dally occur among the troops.The condition of the army everywhere, except that portion of ft stationed in Constantinople, is deplorable.The men have not received any pay for many months.Their clothing is tattered, and their food is poor and Inadequate.The 60,000 tenons serving In Syria are being décimât* d by diseas .Numbers of the reserves are dally desertim: taking their arms and ammunition with them.nris means that those deserters will take to brigandage in th*- near future.All the Christian gendarmes in Asia Minor have resign'd owing to th* fa-* t that they have not been paid.Constantinople, Deo.30.-Several Turks were arrested her* on Friday.It was charged that they Intend* i to make a demonstration against th** Sultan when he drove from the palace to the mosque to perform his devotions.Among the prisoi >'*-s are two clerks who are employed In the Ministry of War and a clerk in the Ministry of î 1 1 : ' ' * also arrested on th * same charge.The Fultan has presented to the Crar n magnificent pair of horses and a quantity of the.firust Turkish t >1 n^eo.General Half Pasha, accompanied by th** third Dragoman of the Russian Embassy.has g ne to St.Petersburg, where he will turn (he gifts over to the Czar.It is stated that Raif Pasha is also entrusted with a secret mission to th*' Czar.It is evident that there R ill this Is much commented upon.THE TRANSVAAL.Trouble Between the Boors and Other Foreign Residents Rapidly Approach ing a Crisis.Praetor!a, Dec 30.—Th** trouble h>e-tween the foreign residents of the Transvaal and th** Boer Government growing out of the refusal of th** latter to grant to foreigners civil rights equal to those enjoyed by the Boers, is rajdd-1> becoming muni serious.It Is rumored here that the English mln»*rs are arming to enforce their demands.Tn an Interview President Kruger said that the Government was alive to the gravity of t e xltuatl n and tha threatening attitud** of the foreign rs in Johannesburg.He added :—“If th** threatened storm must come, let It come.'’ Numbers of ladles and children a e leaving the Rand.Business is seriously affected.Many notorious, restless characters are gathered In Johannesburg.The Americans and Germans are siding with the Govern meni.The Transvaal Government has ordered the Boer Burghers to hold themselves In readiness to be called upon to suppress rebellion.The trouble between the foreign residents of the Transvaal and the Buie* Government is Increasing in Intensity.Th®

ascended the platform as chairman and the ex ercises began.Y’ou will have some idea of the programme when we say it consisted of 1 duet, fi solos, 10 choruses, 13 dialogues, and 15 recitations.Long as

Com puny, Windsor.Ont.Canada» CHAPTER I It as Sit unlay night in Rock Hiver, j » alii'* covered with the dust of the August roads hiws along the side walks.Harvesting was in full drive, and the to\s n was filled with noniads from tlie south, men who had worked their way north following the isthermal line of ripening wlieat.Farmer» hail driven in for provisi >us, and their hand» had come with them for an evening's outing.The streets swarmed with rough, lawless characters.Few women ventured abroad, but hands of yelling boys, feeling the unstable equilibrium of the atmosphere, fought or played up and down before the saloons which were crowded to the door.The better class of farmers hitched up and drove away lx*fore nine o’clock,gathering together as many of their hands as possible, but ot hers remained to see the fun, which everyone felt to he coming.It was reported that the “Wapsey gang” was in town.The Swedes from Hock Run were also well represented down at Ole’s “Hole in the Wall.'' The Yesey 1m>vs and Steve* Nagle had l>een seen, and last and most important, Hill O'Shea, “the Wapsey Tiger,” was down at the red saloon.Hill was brother to the deputy sheriff, who had been in lii.s clay the most feared of all the Wapsey gang.He it was who used to terrorize the constable and make men like Steve Nagle quail when, on his Infrequent sprees, he took offense at the sound of their voices.He dominated the gang and ruled as if with naked sword in hand.By the advice of Dr.Carver, Jim O’Shea h id l>ecn made constable of the town.The doctor had quoted with great effect the experience of Hoslon in making the famous crook, Turkey, marshal, in the days when thugs ran the city in their own way.From being constable, Jim came naturally to he the deputy sheriff of the county.Hehad given up drink entirely.Bill, also from the Wapsey prairie, was quiet enough ordinarily, hut when in liquor was ferocious as a panther.At such times no one dared to oppose him nor*lay hands upon him, that is, no one but his brother, the deputy.Every law-abiding citizen regretted the infrequent visits of the Wapsey Tiger.Constable Ranney, a tall, mild-mannered man, grew more and more nervous as t lie night drew on and reports came in about Hill.He kept sedulously out of sight after eight o’clock; in fact, he went to the mayor’s office for comfort and re.^-n r' .rvi - Cl y ft •.r ™ ïrWm~ v r* ' ¦ iM II IY> -n Sold at Orirtlth’s Drug Sibro, 121 Wellingtc St., Sherbrooke.Sold iu Lbuaoxvillo by Ah n F.Foss.nio*t Ttlodera ar.d progressive For catalogue or la format Ion write to I HE MARLI* FIR!- AR/V3 CO., New Haven, Conn.1"^» Vfc.50c.Bargains in “ RUT I (WN T STRIKK HIM WITH A WEAPON, V Kli ONNEIt.” infon emeut.Me made a feeble effort to cover his flight by saying to several of the uneasy cii i/.mis on the si reel: “If Tm wanted.I'll h.) at the ma}’or'* office.I’m going up to consult him.” This deceived no one.Every man and boy iu Hock River knew Raney was afraid of Steve Eagle, to say nothing of O'Shea.They shouted cat calls at him as he went along the street, but they could not blame him very much.There was a sort of hors.* sense iu keeping out of the Tiger’s way.The matter wa* being discussed in the mayor’s office.Hidings was there, and Judge Brown, and two or three others.Foster, of the Saturday Morning Call, took a humorous view of the matter, the others did not.Foster quoted a line or two while sharpening a pencil.“Now, ‘whether Roderigo killed Cassio, or Cassio Roderigo, all makes my gain,’ I’m getting news ” “We may pull through all right yet,” said the may - r.a small man of a %*'holarly turn of mind, not tilted to cope xith such didn’t go into this thing to arrest grizzly bears nor crazy maniac* for three dollars h «lay It’s all very well for you fellows to ait here and order me to go and arrest that infernal devil; go do it yourself.M He Hung the star on the floor and walked toward the hack stairway; "I'm going home." Foster dryly remarked: “There’s a certain degree of justice in what Mr Ranney says.There are too many commanding officers here and too few active warriors.Tlie re's just one man iu this country who can arrest Hill O’.Shea.” “You mean Jiin*'' “Yes, of course.” “Jim’s in Cedarville.** “Then telegraph him.” “I telegraphed him an hour ago,” said the judge “I knew we were in for trouble.He ought to be here soon if he started at once.” The mayor sighed with relief.“Well, there’s nothing to do hut wait.” They looked out of the window at every fresh burst of noise.The Tiger still paraded up and down, leaping into the air occasionally with a shrill “Wherrool” He had the weight of a lion and the activity of a leopard.He was transformed from a slouchy, quietly humorous farmer into a demon.Every l»ody gave way lie fore him.behind him followed a howling mob of admiring friends.Silence came only when he led the way into some saloon.The better citizens kept dropping in at the mayor’s office to ask why that man was not arrested.The mayor cooled each nm* off by saying: “I’ll deputize you to arrest him, if you wish.” While they sat waiting they heard the Round of hurry out in the street, then a word of command that brought them to a halt."Here comes Jim!” Quick, powerful steps were heard on the stairway, and Jim came in.He was of moderate height, hut the girth of his chest was enormous.His face was dark and handsome.His eyes ha.I something placid and sorowful in them.His drooping mustache concealed his mouth.Altogether be was a fine Irish type.“Where is he ?” he asked.“In the red saloon, just now.” “Is he w ild, boys ?” Jim asked in a hesitating way.They felt no inclination to laugh.“He is plumb crazy.” Jim gave a groan of sorrow and dismay.“Murtherin* divils !

FULLER Import.• of Sensible t'resent.Fur Men.Mr.McShane hits been elected for Montreal Centre by the remarkable majority of ;kl7 ; remarkable for the fact that at tho previous general elections, that constituency returned Mr.Curran in the Conservative interest by a majority of over 1200.The peculiarities of tho con- j test do not lessen, but rather heighten, the significance of the government defeat, , Mr.McShane en.ered the field without | asking anybody’s leave; Mid contrary, indeed, to the wishes of some of the influential Liberals of the division, some of whom either transferred their allegiance ! to Sir William Hingston or refrained from working at all.1 here is no use j disguising the file .Mr.McShane is not j a credit to the Liberal party, ei, her in-j tellectualiy or as a moral political force.But when he had forced himself on the division ;.s i oaudida;e, tho complete use- .Icssncss of a thre‘ cornered light, especially with such a strong Conservative j candidate as Sir William Hingston, was I immediately apparent.The question j was then hotly asked by Conservative | critics, * Why should tho Liberals go | back on their professions with regard to I the necessity of electing clem men to ; pui.lic lifo r Let US frankly admit at once that a completely satisfactory answer cannot bo given to this criticism, even although the corrupt record of the lories gives them little right to ask the question Mr.McShane, indeed, is a far less dangerous corruptionist than some of tho present Tory ministers.His little briberies are (or rather were, for now he is a poor man) of a very open, “blundering’’ character and curiously interwoven with much goodness of heart.They are not to be excused on this account, hut at least they compare a'aominable methods employed by the i government heelers in North Ontario and Cardwell, where turkeys were bought at ^ twenty dollirs a piece, straw at fifteen | | dollars a ton and other farm products in j 1 proportion.That is cold-blooded de- j ! bauchery of which Mr.McShane has 1 never been accuse 1.But, admitting the personal differ-i ence between Mr.McShane and his i opponent in Montreal Centre, how would j these same Conservative critics have regarded the spectacle of a general Liberal support of Sir William Hingston 1 Simply as an insistence upon clean men Tho voices for Peace are multiplying in the United .States.Tho best elements of the country, together with the leaders of tho vast commercial interests which would he ruined by war, are speaking firmly to that very wretched, but unquestionably extensive, element of the American people which harbors bitter and hostile feelings towards Great Britain.The voices for Peace are multiply ing, but unfortunately it cannot be said that all danger has passed away.When an imaginary provocation (for not only the highest authorities of Europe, but those also of the United States, on international law, have pronounced the Monroe doctrine to be entirely inapplicable to the Venezuelan difficulty) when an imaginary provocation can arouse such feelings as were exhibited within the last few weeks, it is plain that there is a very considerable war party in the United States which might easily be roused to an uncontrollable frenzy.This fact.Canadians must not lose sight of, bui as we do not desire war for war’s sake, it is plainly our duty to reciprocate the endeavours now being made by the better elements of the American people not only to allay the present excitement, but to render the chances of hostility as remote as possible.tbir first duty' is to assist the aopeul to reason that is now being carried on, and to guard against the inhaling Jingo boastings that are heard in s une quarters.Let the lower element of our neighbors attribute that attitude to Four pmoun enemy strength.That enemy would rejoice at our folly.” The folly that Mr.Pringle anticipated developed itself on the North Ontario election and our enemies are rejoicing over our blunders.Ho far the only good the Patro.der has done is to emphasize the necessity for giving eflect to a platform laid down ind t bring in The Late Hiram Moe.Whose death we announced last week, was a native Canadian, having been born at the old Moe homestead on the Leu-noxvillo road, July 17th, 180i.He was the third son of David Moe who came from Half Moon Point, New York, and cleared a few acres in the forest in a spot now known as Milby, giving his name to the stream which is still known as Moo’s River.He afterwards removed to the vicinity 50 pairs A visit wiF

on a farm on by tlio movement.But while if it pie by the estimât appeal ted.ises : it will be rightly better element.The reason, if it is calmly c.indue fail to have a large allaying power.It is J)ONN iblo that a very considerable portion of the t .8.war party is more led by-ignorance of the real character of the Monroe doctrine than by real hatred to the Mother Country.But it is equally our duty to put our militia in the best possible state of elfi-ciency.And this not as a menace, but simply on tho ground that if a militia force is worth keeping up at all at considerable expense, it is worth being kept in the highest state of efficiency possible.profiting „ | the Patrons espouse the same principl as the Liberal party their action has made more remote the possibility of elloct being given t * those principles.As regards tho Patron organization I j have a word further to say.a word of ’ caution to our active working farmers.By active working farmers 1 mean those | farmers who till the soil and who by the .sweat of their brow in the field earn j their daily bread.Not the farmer who deserts his farm and becomes a Patron ! for revenue purposes : who expects to make a living and win political notoriety, not behind the plough but behind the pen and on the hustings.What 1 wish to caution our farmers against is in being misguided by these men who are politicians first and farmcis afterward, whose only chance of gaining political notoriety lies in the support and i encouragement you actual and active farmers give them.Th r.k this over Mid see if you do not agree with me.Do you not think you were ill advised in placing a Patron candidate in the field at North Ontario to split up the Vote and make sure the return of tho government candidate.But what is this new move we read

Jan.1st has been indehnitely postponed awaiting ice in the rink.Wednesday, New Years day, was universally observed as a public holiday and with few exceptions the stores and places of business were closed.Mr.Jos.Adams was recently kicked by a horse just above the knee, fortunately no bones were broken and he is etting along favorably.Mr.T.T.Shurtleil' has completed the repairs to his hall and it is in line order, he has it lighted w ith electric light which is a great improvement.(Juite a number of our young people have recently plunged into the great sea of matrimony.We wish them success in

from outside dealers and at a price that would be satisfactory to any reasonable buyer.We are informed that Mr.Charles Elliott who has been in the baking business in Webster’s block has sold out to two local young men, this is the third time that this business has changed hands inside of six months, and the inference would be that there is big money in it and as soon as a fresh man has made for

heartily entered into and enjoyed.The event of the season was the entertainment in the school house on Monday night, Dec.2Jrd, when Miss Anna Dean with her scholars favored an appreciative audience with an excellent programme of recitations, dialogues and singing.The scholars were in excellent training, which showed the painstaking lalKirs of their teacher.All acquitted themselves most creditably.A pleasant part of the programme was when the chairman, Mr.McNeil, called to the platform Mr.Geo.Sampson and Rev.Mr.Pergam when the former, in behalf of some of the friends of the mission, presented the latter with a tine coonskin coat Mr.Pergau was taken by surprise, but in a few won s thanked the people for the excellent gift.A Revolver Founa on one ot Tbem—The Viet im Blames a Man Unknown - Contradictory StOileâ.Toronto.Dnc.3L A mysterious shooting affair occurred at 78 Frederick street about 11 o’clock last uiglU, which narrowly escaped causing the death of a middle-aged woman named M u y Ross and the arrest of her sister, L< uothy Hull, on a charge of murder.The first alarm which reached the police of the occurrence was given by a woman named Jennie Brow n, who accosted I\ C.Dllworth on his heat and told him that a woman had been shot by a man at the above address.Accompan.ed by P.C.Van Winkle, Dllworth went to the house and found Mrs.Ross lying on a bed In the back room upstairs, with blood flowing from a wound in the nose and cheek, the vessel into which it was flowing containing about three pints of the crimson fluid.With the injured woman was her sister, Miss Hull, the palm and inside of her fingers on the right hand deeply stained with gunpowder and a flesh wound on the end joint of the little finger.The ambulance was hurriedly called to take Mrs.Itoss to St.Michael’s Hospital, and while waiting its arrival the sister gave what she claimed was an account of the occurrence.She said she was In the front downstairs bedroom preparing for bed when her sister came into the room.She stepped forward and stretched out her hand towards Mrs.Ross, when at that Instant a bullet, fired from the street, crashed through the window, followed tt moment later by half a brick, which smashed two panes of glass and part of the sash.The bullet, she said, struck her finger, and.passing through the flesh, hit Mrs.Ross on the side of the nose, and, coming out on the other side, buried itself In the left cheek, where !t remained.She would not say who I fired the shot, though she declared ^he ! knew The only other persons in the house at the time, she claimed, were I Jennie Drown, who gave the alarm, and a Mrs.Adams.This story so obviously disagreed with the condition of Miss Hull’s hand and with a distinctly noticeable smell of powder in the room that the constables refused to accept It as true, and urged her to disclose where the weapon was concealed, but she persisted In denying any knowledge of its whereabouts.explaining the dirty condition of her hand by saying tfhe had been cleaning the stove.A S' arch of the room failed to discover the pistol, and finally the officers told her « he would have to go to the Police Station and make her explanation there.This she stoutly protested against, but at length consented to dies- herself, as she was pa tially disrobed, and the constables retired to the passageway to allow her to do so.j A f w moments later Van Winkle heard suspicious sounds in the room, and, re- j entering, caught the woman In the act ! oX concealing something in her stock-ii g He ordered her to produce the | article, but sin* refused, and endeavor- j td to prevent the officer searching her.| .vlter a brief resistance Van Winkle succeeded in extracting from the stock- j ing a 22-calibre six-chamber vest- ; pocket revolver, with one chamber loaded, one recently discharged and the remainder empty.Then the woman declared that "someone’’ had put the gun under the carpet, and she had just taken it from there anil put it in her stocking, but she would not say who that “someone’’ was.She was then taken to police headquarters In the patro-l waggon.On Mrs.Ross' arrival at St.Mlch-ael’s Hospital she was found to be In a very weak condition from shock and loss of blood, and the doctors decided not to attempt to extract the bullet till this morning.Although suffering gn at pain, she is not thought to be In Immediate danger, and wifi no doubt recover, unless erysipelas or blood-poisoning intervene.Her account of thu shooting was that she w n»t to the door in answer to a knock, and on opening it a man on the sidewalk fired a shot and then ran away.More than this she would not say, and in the absence of further evidence the police did not consider themselves Justified In detaining ’.slater In cus- tody , and she was accordingly released.Mrs.Ross, the injured woman.Is ! about 4.r» years of age: her husband, ' î'rederick Ross, is a brakemau on the jfîi.md Trunk between Toronto and Tevifie.and he wifi be home on Thu»' day.Miss Hull Is about five y ars younner than her sist- r.The h ns ¦ on F ederlck street has not got tli h-st reputation with the pot ice.and disturbances there are not Infrequent.Fast night li e four women had evidently be- n indulging prior to the shooting, for neither Mrs.Ress nor her sister was sober when the poke.; rrived.The si a rg * affair will be thoroughly investigated to-day.('oiigKM*-a-^Goibled, but it remain* a* being fully untU-r-tood and granted that the bread made from "OUR GLORY” Flour in of such excellent quality that it would be high!> prized
