BY THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT RECOUPED TO AN AMERICAN FISH FIRM IN PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND \u2014 THE QUEBEC HARBOR BILL PASSES THE SENATE.Special to the Chroniclesupplementary estimates were paused.The only item which caused» muel-dis- cussion was one for $15,000 to pay Messrs.Hall and Myrick the amount paid by them to the United States Government as duty on fish oil bought in this country.This ome of several musty old clafins raked up since 1896 and paid by the present Government.It is a Prince Edward Island case.In 1871, à year before Prince Edward Island entered Confederation, a number of merchants there trading with the New England States purchased quantities of fish and fish oil in the island and shipped them to the United States on the strength of an understanding that the American Governuent would admit such products into the United States free of duty.Duty was collected, however, and all the firms being British subjects were subsequently recouped by the Dominion.One firm, that of Hall & Myrick, were and are American citizens, doing business in Prince Edward Island and the present Government decided to recognize them.In the Senate bill respecting the Quebec Harbor Commissioners +v25 taken up.Sir Mackenzie Bowell objected to the bill on the ground that there was an elevator at the port of Quebec al ready.The Harbor Commissioners of Quebec, he said, had never paid one cent of their indebtedness to the Government, to make the interest on these bonds a prior claim to that of the Government for interest on $3,000,000 owed | the Harlor Commissioners and Jt ought not to be done.Hon.David Mills said that under the bill the Government was only liable for interest om these bonds if the Great Northern Company did not pay it.He reviewed the history of the deepening of the St.Lawrence and the justiSed expense the Government had gone to in that regard, by stating that if Canada did not secure an out Jet for the trafic of the west, it would go to the seatoard by Arerican channels.Montreal could not for years to come provide accommodation for all the business that would go to that port, and thrs scheme of the Camada Atlantic and Great Northern Company's to make a through line for western traffic from Parry Sound to Quebec, for which this elevator was required, would relieve the port of Montreal.Prorogation has been fixed for tomorrow afiernoon.\u2014_\u2014 DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.Inwood, Ont., Suflers a Cousiderable Amount of Loss.Inwood, Ont., August 10.\u2014 A most disastrous fire occurred in this village y afternoon which in the

wedding took place yesterday morning at 10 o\u2019clock in Christ Church, New Liverpool, the contracting parties being Miss Mary Rebecca Brown, youngest daughter of the late Mr.Samuel Brown, and Mr.Joseph _ Todd Nicholson, of Minneapolis.The bride who wore a very pretty grey travelling dress looked very handeome and was given away by her brother, Mr.W.H.Brown.The byide\u2019s niece, Miss Lilly Brown, acted a¥ bridesmaid while the groom was attended by Mr.W.J.Banks.A large number of residents of the place were present in the church which looked very pretty, being decorated with flowers by a number of the bride's friends.During the ceremony, which was performed by Rev.I.Thompson, some very appropriate music was rendered by the choir.After the wedding ceremony, Mr.and Mis.Nicholson

come to an understanding with the manufacturers.The arrangement is, that provided the lasters would set aside the scale drawn up by them the employers would grant tem an in crease in wages.The Chronicle of yesterday was in error in stating that the strike had begun in the Dominion Shoe Company.It was at Mr.Frederic Lachance\u2019s factory that the men were dissatisfied.No trouble was experienced at all in\u2018the Dominion concern of which Mr.J.H.Lachance is the propsietor.Veyterday morning all the lasters returned to work amd everything is running smoothly.The striking fur cutters had an interview yesterday morning with Mr.Paquet and were closeted with him until noon.They met again in the af- teracon at 4 o'clock and it is stated that the difficulty is in a fair way of

the Uitlander representative from South Africa, arrived here toy.In an interview be said that President Kruger did not realize that the British Expire was united in regard to tbe necessity for adequate reforms.The Boer president is relying on an approaching English election.and the hope that the Liberals in the electoral campaign will take the side of the Dutch.In the event of the Liberals

\u2014TWO OP THE VICTIMS WERE RE TURNING FROM STE.ANNE DE BEAUPRE \u2014 A WHOLE FAMILY KILLED.\u2014 \u2014 Ottawa, August 10.\u2014 The death list from the St.Polycarpe railway accident is now eight.The two patients at the Water Street Hospital\u201d -are Miss McDougall and Miss Ryan.\u201cThey are still alive, but their recovery is said to be improbable.Two-thirds of Miss Ryan's body is scalded and she has hardly a fight ing chanre.Miss McDougall is not so badly burned, but is suffering from shock.Hex nervous system has completely collapsed, and it will be very surprising if she survives.The doctors hold out slim hopes for both patients, while the nurses expected death at any moment.Wm.McQuestion, the brakeman, at St.Luke's Hospital, is suffering from an injured back and a scalded head.His injuries are not serious.Miss Bridget Ryan, of Maniwaki, who also was killed, was one of three sisters.In company with her sister Ellen she had gone on the pilgrimage to St.Anne de Beaupre.Ellen, her sister, was badly injured in the wreck.The third sister, Miss Kate Ryan, is housekeeper at Maniwaki for Rev.Father Pion, the parish priest.The third sister did not go on the pilgrimage.Mr.and Mrs.Joseph Rocheleau, of Champlain street, Mon , and their daughter and son were their way to Ottawa to visit a relnidve, Mr.Harry St.Jean, butcher, of Fifth street, Ottawa East.They intended remaining here a short while.Edward Starrs, one of the victims of the run-off on the C.A.R.yesterday at St.Polycarpe, was 27 years old.He was a son of the late Michael Starrs, and resided with his mother at 259 Bay street.He was a native of Ohio but lived in Ottawa since he was three years old.He was employed by the city as teamster; being the owner of horses.The late Mr.Starrs was a young man of quiet disposition.He was a member of St.Patrick's Church.Op Monday he left op the pilgrimage to St.Anne de Beaupre in company with Denis O'Connor, of Janeville, who was also killed.He was expected home last night, Deceased leaves a mother and two bro- \u2018thers.Denis O'Connor another of yesterday's victims, wap abeut 22 years of age and a regident of Janeville.He lived with his parents near the Montreal road, close to the New York and Ottawa Railway track.George McCualg, the dead fireman lived with his parents, Mr.and Mrs.Duncan McCuaig, 97 Capal road, Ottawa East.He was 24 years of age.He had becn more than five years in the employ of the Canada Atlantic Railway, and was a trusted employe.He had recently passed examination for locomotive engineer.Mr.E.J.Chamberlin, general manager of the Company, was seen to-day Mr.Chamberlain said that the Company had nothing new to impart and were as much in the dark as ever as regards the cause of the accident.Mr.Chamberlain received the following telegram from Superintendent Donaldson from the scene of the wreck : \"After careful investigation of the engine truck and cars, I can find no explanation for the accident.Whether some part of the engine failed, or an obstruction got placed in the frog cannot be ascertained; as the track is straight and level and in perfect order, and was thoroughly inspected by the inspector before the express passed the point where the accident occurred.The engineer felt a heavy jolt and the engine at once left the track.Mr.Chamberlain said that all the evidence goes to discredit the assertion that the rails spread.The track was level and in perfect shape.The ties were nearly all new and the bed was well ballasted.The rails, 72 pgund- ers, and solid steel, were only down four years, and the fact that the whole train with the exception of the sieep- er cleared the switch goes to further discredit the rail spreading theory.The general manager says that the impression that the train was travelling too fast was no doubt owing to its being a limited express train and only staopping at a few stations.Other passenger trains travel as fast, only they stop at every station and thus create a contrary opinion.He no doubt that some such ideas as that influenced the people in\u201d coming to fui conclusions.ow the accident ° oc- carred will probably pémain »
