Now, I make this denial without any reservation whatever and state positively that I received no money out of such funds, and if it can lie shown that I did, I will most willingly refund the amount.\u201d \u201cIn what manner then cun you account for the assertion made by Mr.Tarte that he said $15,000 was debited to Sir Adolphe Caron ?\u201d \u201cThat remains to be seen.Mr.McGreevy, lain sure, will admit that I received no money out of the harbour work subscriptions, and that lie never mentioned such a thing.That is all I have to say upon the subject.\u201d Leonce Lalielle, charged with the murder of his wife, Katie LabeMe, was committed for trial at the April Assizes by Magistrate O\u2019Gara this morning.Major Carpenter, M.P.Wentworth, bad an interview with Premier Abbott this

where he has been on official business.The elevation of Mr.R.N.Hall, of Sherbrooke, to he a Puisne Judge of the Court of Queen\u2019s Bench in Quebec is gazetted.The Canada Gazette appears in mourning to-day.The Government has decided not to appoint a successor to the office of Deputy-Scrgeaut-at-Arms, vacated by tho promotion of Lieufc.-Colouel Smith.Instead, one of the permanent officials of the House will lie selected to do the work at a nominal addition lo his salary.An unusually large number of the specifications for the first sections of the Soulanges Canal have liccn taken out by contractors from the Railway Department, among them several by Ottawa men.The tenders close on Tuesitay next.The Government is not losing any opportunity to forward tho work, for it lias instructed Mr.J.A.Legris, notary, of Coteau Landing, to resume tne purchase of land necessary for the Canal, which had been suspended for some time.Jany.17\u2014Fire broke out iu the city Post Office building at one o\u2019clock this morning and to-day the place beais the appearance of having undergone an inundation.From that hour until nearly eight o'clock the brigade poured four heavy streams upon the building and the damage will amount to some $20,001).The greater proportion was caused by water.Two sharp explosions in quick succession aroused the Post Office clerk on*duty and .on proceeding upstairs he found the office of the Excise Department to be ablaze, The fire spread so rapidly that iu a few minutes that part of the structure was in flames, and by hard work the firemen confined the hi ze to that part of the building, but the adjacent Customs Department and the Post Office on the ground floor were drenched so that the floors and ceilings will all have to lie replaced.A good deal of the mail matter was spoiled before it could be removed to the Dominion Post Office on the Langevin block, where the local postal business has been transacted since.The fire can only Ik- accounted for ou the theory that some specimen jars of gasoline or other inflammable fluid exploded spontaneously and scattered the flames all over the premises.The building is an ornamental stone structure.Cornwall, Jan.17\u2014Mr.John Copeland, Registrar of the County of Stormont, died at his residence here at noon to-day.Belleville, Jan.16\u2014W.A.Beamish, the (.\u2019ustoms officer who

Geo, Booth ; Secretary, J.J.Cassidy, Chairman of the Executive, F.Nicholls.The Association passed a resolution declaring continued faith in the national policy, also a resolution of condolence with the Royal family over the death of the Duke of Clarence.A resolution was also passed regarding the alleged undervaluation of imports of job or unsaleable goods, calling on the Government to have the Customs Act so amended that such goods shall pay duty upon the regular and not slaughter prices, atnl that where such goods have for any reason been withdrawn from the market \\vhere manufactured, the duty price for Canada shall he the lowest price at which bona fide sales have been made for consumption in the country where they were manufactured.January 17.\u2014Mrs.John Beverley Robinson, wife of the Ex- Lieutenant-Governor of Ontario, died to-day of congestion of the lungs, brought on by la grippe.Hamilton', Jan.16\u2014i\u2019tie iron moulders were to have given the foundrymen j^i answer to-day as to whether they would accept the proposed ten per cent reduction in wages, but w hen the Moulders\u2019Committee interviewed their employers they reported merely the word \u201cprogress.\" This was done so as to see what the foundrymen would do.Mr.Copp informed the men that the foundry-men intended lo wait for an answer as to w hether the offer is accepted or rejected until January 20, and if ihe reduction is not accepted all the shops will be run as non-union shops.The Moulders Union will meet again on Tuesday night, when definite action will he taken.If there is a lockout it will throw from 350 to 400 Union men out of work.Sir John Thompson, though in ha-F health, was present and was the principal speaker of the evening.The Hon.C\\ H.Tupper was unable to attend, being confined to his bed by a severe attack of /a i/rippc.Sir John Thompson spoke, and dwelt for an hour and a half reviewing the trade and general policy of the Dominion Government and was frequently applauded.In referring to the re cent scandals at Ottawa, he claimed that none of the wrong-doing had been fastened upon any members of the Government, and declared that the Ministers were free from the corrupt acts that had been fastened upon the employes of the depart ments.Comparing the exposures with similar candals under the Governments of other countries, he said that far greater disclosures of corruption in the public service had been made in the past iu Great Britain ami the United Suites.'1 he Liberals, said the speaker, had always cried that the Conserva live party were diving on the reputation of their great leader Sir John A.Macdonald the fact was that Hie Liberals had for years been living for the death of that great statesman.Sir John dwelt on the efforts made by Canada for a reciprocity treaty with the United States, and asserted that if it hud not been for the intervention of the Canadian Government, Mr.Blaine would have effected an arrangement with Newfoundland to please himself, leaving the Dominion out of consideration.Mr.Blaine wanted Canada to wait till fie had perfected his treaty with the ancient colony ami then entering upon different negotiations w ith the United Sûtes hut the Dominion Government refused to wait ami soliciting the intervention of Her Majesty\u2019s Government, succeeded in putting a stop lo the littje arrangement with Newfoundland going on in Mr.Blaine\u2019» office.The McKinley Bill when it canjè into force, was an injury to the export trade of Canada, so far as the United Sûtes were concerned, but it hud not been a material injury, us the products of the country were now being shipped across the Atlantic in far greater quantity that ever before and the farmex-ports to Great Briuin had increased enormously.What the country hod lost through the operations of the McKinley Bill was being made up by its foreign export trade He spoke of the benefits to rich ami poor, hut particularly to the poor by the Government striking off the Ux on sugar, amounting to a saving to the consumer\tof $3,500,000.Notwithstanding\tthis, the\tfiscal year had been an\teminently\tsatisfactory one and the\tAdministration would be able to meet Parliament without a deficit, lor the past six years, he said, the expenditure of the country which the Opposition claimed was increasing at an extravagant rate and was driving people out the country, hod remained practically the same.Sir John spoke of the census returns and claimed that they could be regarded w ith satisfaction and all that could reasonably he expected.The census returns in all countries had been disappointing, and when those of Canada were compared with the returns in the United States, where the increase was some two millions less than w hat was expected, we had no reason to be ashamed of our own showing.The increase in the population of the cities hail been striking and was to be accounted for here, as elsewhere, by she rural population crowding iuto them.The decrease in the rural districts was the same in the United States as in Canada.Sir John 3'iiompson spoke at length on the rapid progress of the coutry under Conservative Governments and the glorious prospect» of the North-West, where the past season\u2019s harvest showed an average return of fifteen hundred dollars for every farmer of the population, and closed with an apology for the unavoidable absence of hia colleague, Mr.Tupper.The meeting closed with addresses ifom the Conservative candidate., Messrs.Stairs and Kenny.^ January 17\u2014The Salvation Army barracks, Brunswick

Government considers the time opportune for bringing tho differences between Bulgaria and Kervia to a climax, so it bus opened again by notifying Servi* that it will no longer permit the gathering of Bulgarian refugees in the frontier forts at Pirat, Nisch and Velika Blana.M.Stambuloff, Bulgarian Prime Minister, intimated to the German and Austrian Governments the necessity of Bulgaria taking military mcaMires on the frontier to protect the country from sudden attack.The Austrian agent at Belgrade warned tho Government that Kervia would he held responsible for breaking the peace ol Europe unless the demands of M.Ktatnbuloff were conceded.The reply of the Servian Government offers to expel the refugees if itis proved that they are coi'ftpiring to make a raid upon Bulgaria.This response is held to be unsatisfactory and the Bulgarian preparations are lieing accelerated.The best chance of preserving peace lies in the weakened state of Kussi^, which is causing Kervia to disl>and nnd

that while the situation is grave, war will not result.îvew York, Jan.17\u2014Tho mysterious personage known to the police here as \u201cJack the Slasher.\u201d was arrested at 2.30 this morning by detectives and locked up at police headquarters.The police have teen agitated for some days, or since Dec.29 to \u2019»e explicit, over a series of peculiar assault», five having occurred up to date and the last resulting fatally.The victim» have, without exception, been under the influence of liquor, walking or staggering along the street, when some one has noiselessly approached from behind and slashed their throats with a razor, making his escape before being identified.One of the supposed victims of the slasher was a lawyer, James Carson, of Baltimore, whose dead hotly was found on Christie street on Friday morning, with the throat cut from ear to ear.On Saturday night detective Masterson, attached to the Oak street precinct, in which most of the assaults have been committed, was standing at tho corner of Bowery and Roosevelt streets; when a roughly dressed man approached and stared him in the face.His action aroused the officer\u2019s curiosity ami suspicions as well, and he determined to shadow him and find if possible what manner cf man he was.The stranger led tho officer a tortuous trip np and down the streets of tho east side, till final!?a drunken man came upon the scene.No sooner did the stranger see the individual than he accosted him and the two walked together a short distance.Then the stranger fell behind.The drunken man had proceeded perhaps 20 feet in advance when the stranger suddenly flashed some glittering object from bis pocket and sprang like a tiger upon the other.The latter fell, ami in an instant the detective was at hie side.The stranger fled with the officer in hot pursuit.Two patrolmen caught sight of the chase and joined in it.The fugitive was quickly overhauled and taken to the Oak street station.When he was searched a blood-stained razor was found in the pocket of his heavy night coat.The victim, whose throat was cut, but not fatally, was also taken to the station.He said his name was Wm.Miller, of 226 Cherry street.Ho had been drinking heavily and was going homeward when aeooeted by his assailant.The latter, a well-formed, noddle aged man of medium height, with dark bluo restless eyes, gave his name as Henry G.Dowd, of 54 New Chambers street.He denied having assaulted the man when formally questioned, although he told the officers when arrested that he acted in self-defence.He subsequently denied having told the officers this.The prisoner was taken to headquarters early iu the morning, and a force of detectives was sent out to investigate several clues which had been lately detected, and enough was learned to prove conclusively that Dowd and \u201cJack the Slasher\u201d were one and the same.PRANCE.Jan.16\u2014M.Lcpeilelier, a jour- Parw, nalist, fought a duel to-day with the son of

resenting the expulsion of a French newspaper correspondent from Bulgaria, has reached a stage which makes the French Government a little ridiculous.The French expel newspaper _ correspondents

the making, signing, execution, issue and Bulgaria being a vassal of the Porte, French I negotiation of the foUowing kttors of wedit, citizens living on her soil were covered by promises to pay, guarantees, acknowledgments, the capitulations just as if they lived in Con- requisitions and agreements, which have been stantinople.Accordingly, when Bulgaria | presented to thf Treasurer of this

about meddling in Christian rows.He was not going to offend Germany and Rnssia by obliging France.Russia, too, show'ed little interest in the matter, and England and Germany were renly vexed at what seemed a disturbance the peace.So there was nothing left for M.Ribot but to \u201cbreak off diplomatic intercourse\u201d with the vassal.This has been done, but nobody seems to care, and least of all the Bulgarians.The moral seems to be that it is veiy foolish, as the world is now constituted, for any one who has dignity to look after, to make a great fuss over a wrong for which he knows of no remedy.\u2014JVeio York Evening Post.Why they Never Troubled Him.No,\u201d said the man in the mackintosh, T like good comic opera, but I seldom see one.I have been driven away from them,

youngest in years is Alphonse XIII of Spain He has lieen a king from the day of his birth, May 17, 1886, his father, Alphonse XII, having died a few months before.As the - 'youngest child of Alphouso XII was a boy, under the laws of Spain, which declare that the royal title shall descend iu the male line whenever that is possible, he became king at once, taking rank above his sister, the first born, who then ceased to be Queen of Spain and became only Princess of the Asturias.The short life of this titled boy has been less happy than that of many of his little subjects, for his health has not been good and he has passed through some severe illnesses, which have left him a frail rather than a robust child.He has recovered from his illnesses without serious results, and is now a knowing and attractive little boy, who loves play and delights in mischief, even though he does live iu a palace and is surrounded with all the ceremony of a court.Aa many amusing stories are told of his bright sayings and comical acts as are told of wonderful babies of less prominent families One anecdote relates to his first attendance at chapel.Great pains had been taken to make him understand that he must sit very still during the service, and especially must not say a word.He listened eagerly and iu silence to the organ, but when the priest commenced to speak the small monarch called out : \u201cStop ! \\ ou must not talk in chapel !\u201d His pictures are common in Europe and all of them are plé&aing.In one he is iu the chair of state.On a footstool before him are his two sisters, and at his right hand sits his mother.Standing before him iu a rich uniform is one of the high officers of Spain, who is reading a long address to hi* sovereign as solemnly as it he were in the presence of a monarch of ripe years.Not only do the baby eyes stare in sur- Erise at this interruption of fun and frolic, ut the mouth also is wide open, while one tiny hand clutches with all its puny strength the fingers of his faithful Andalusian nurse, who stands in waiting behind the monarch\u2019s chair of state.He is greatly liked by his people, and his daily appearance iu Madrid with his sisters, in his little carriage drawn by four fine mules, always calls out universal expressions of affection.It is especially fortunate that his mother is a woman of good sense, high character and exceedingly kind heart.She was an archduchess of Austria, and is now Queen Maria Christina, reigning as regent until her son reaches the agC-of sixteen years.Hha has greatly endeared herself to the people of her adopted country by her wisdom and her benevolence.Lately- the eloquent leader of the Spanish Republicans,Senor Castelar, explained the quiet condition of his party by saying: \u201cOne cannot make war
