Halifax.QUEBEC.Montreal, June 30\u2014Mr.Laurier and a number of his lieutenants are at the Windsor Hotel here, having been summoned by the Chief.Among them are Sir Richard Cartwright, Premier Blair, of New Brunswick ; Premier Fielding, of Nova Scotia ; Hon.L.H.Davies, James Sutherland, C.S.Hyman, J.I.Tarte, L.P» Brodeur, A.Choquette, S.A.Fisher and others.The ouly \"slate\u201d which seems made up is that of Quebec, which will comprise Laurier, Joly, Geoffriou, Tarte, Choquette and Fisher.Some of these will be without portfolio.Senator Pelletier is put down as Speaker of the Senate and Hon.Frs.Lingelier has been promised a Judgeship.Sir Richard Cartwright will, it is said here, be sent to Washington as High Commissioner to negotiate a treaty of reciprocity.Sir Oliver Mowat arrived to night from Toronto.The object of the Ontario Premier\u2019s visit is to confer with Mr.Laurier regarding the composirion of the Liberal Cabinet.He will remain in Montres! over Dominion Day.Mr.John Kerry, Sr., member of the wholesale drag house of Kerry, Watson A Co., died suddenly this morning at his residence, 149 Durocher street.Mr.Kerry was known all over Canada.Justice Davidson rendered judgment this afternoon, dismissing the action of the Bell.Telephone Company agaiost the Montreal Street Railway Company.In this case the Bell Telephone Company sued the Street Railway Company for some $30,000 damages, complaining that the introduction of the electric trolley car system into Montreal in 1892, cs used, and has been causing ever since, a serious disarrangement of the telephone service, and necessitated the adoption of a number of expensive contrivances to counter-ati the effect of the presence of the trolley wires.ONTARIO.Ottawa, June 30\u2014Senator Read, of Belleville, died here last night.He was 82 years of age.The remains will be interred in Belleville.The deceased was married two years ago to Mrs.Wartman, of this city, a sister of Dr.Horsey.It is now stated that Sir Charles Tupper will not resign until all the recounts are over.Stratford, June 30\u2014Between nine and ten o'clock this morning Fred.W.Byatt, of Buffalo, N.Y., was found lying in Queen\u2019s Park, in the east end, with a bullet hole in hie head and in au unconscious condition.The police and medical aid were summoned and after he was restored to consciousness he was conveyed to the hospital.On being questioned Byatt claimed to have fallen among thieves and been sandbagged and mentioned the name of a yourg man of the city who is known to be a particular friend of his.There is considerable mystery about the case.Byatt formerly lived here and moved to Buffalo only a few months ago.He came over on Tuesday with his wife and after voting went back, leaving Mrs.Byatt here.He return#-! to Stratford last night, arriving by the 9.30 train, but did not join his wife aud she did not know he was here until he was found this morning.Of the time elapsing between Hyatt\u2019s arrival last night and his being found as stated nothing at present is known.He was in the habit of carrying considerable money about with him, but none was found ou him this morning, though his watch and ring were not missing.Cartridges were found in his pocket, but there is no trace as yet of a revolver.Three bullets were found embedded in a tree close by and on its roots dried blood.If Byatt fired the shots himself the disappearance of the revolver is unaccountable, and if they were fired by auothcr his presence in the park requires explanation, as it lies in the opposite direction from where Mrs.Byatt is staying.Byatt kept a grocery store at 366 Vermont street, Buffalo, and was believed to be doing fairly well.Fits of melancholy to which he was subject may have something to do with the matter.It is thought he will recover.Sault Ste.Marie, June 30\u2014Dyment\u2019s (Liberal) majority in Algoma, as far as heard from up to ten o\u2019clock, is 1,234.His election is conceded BRITISH~C0LUMBIA.Vancouver, June 30\u2014The Horsefly hydraulic mine at Cariboo, owned principally by Montreal people, stopped to clean up their sluices last week after a few hours\u2019 tun.Tho result in yellow metal produced a chunk of gold worth $8,100.In this clean-up the ditches on the sides and the backs were not touched, and it is considered under the circumstances a remarkable showing.Un both the Horsefly and the Cariboo mines work is being pushed to the limit.There is an abun dant water supply, and big results are expected.NOVA SOOTIA.Halifax, June 30\u2014The evidence of the Captains of the Dominion fishing cruisers \"Aberdeen\u201d and \"Vigilant,\u201d in the case of the seized Gloucester schooner \"Frederick Geeriug, jr.,\u201d has been taken in the Vice-Admiralty Court.The statement of the Captain of the \"Vigilant\u201d is particularly interesting, as it tends to bear out one of the contentions of thedefence, that the \"Geering\u201d was not fishing within the three mile limit when seized by the \"Aberdeen.\u201d The \"Vigilant\u2019s\u201d Captain ssid the fish had been caught by the \"Geering\u201d about three and a half miles off the nearest land, which he considered to be Gull Ledge, and that was a mile and a half from the mainland.A Commission has Jieen granted for the examination of witnesses in Gloucester.One of the most brilliant weddings

Wheeler, charged with tho murder of fiftecn-year old Annie Kempton, at Bear River, retired at 3.10 this afternoon and returned two hours later with a verdict of guilty.Judge Townshend sentenced the prisoner to be hanged on September 8.On being taken back to the jail Wheeler made for a corner of his cell, where some days ago he had concealed a bottle of dark liquid labelled \"Poison\u2019 among some papers and clothing.He could not find it, for it had been discovered and removed by the jailer, and he seemed to be greatly disappointed.The supposition is that he intended to commit suicide if sentence of death were passed 011 him.Miss Helen Gladstone, in an article on the admission of women to the Cambridge degrees, calls attention to the fact that no fewer than six Cambridge colleges were

to be on fire to-night.The discovery caused consternation among the people in the neighborhood, for the reason that there is »n immense store of explosives in thearsenal.The garrison troops were hurriedly turned out to fight tho flames.While the soldiers were at work there was an explosion of a small quantity of ammunition which killed seven men and injured a number of others.This caused much excitemeut, but the troops bravely resumed their work.Large quantities of gunpowder and shells were hastily removed to places of safety, but there yet remeius enough 10 blow the arsenal to atoms

who are also tbe non Unionists, marched out under police protection to take the street cars.When the cars came along they refused to stop, although commanded to do so by the police, the motor-men being presumably io collusion with the strikers.Meantime a mob of at least 5,000 men war surging all around the police who were guarding the workmen.When it became evident that the street cars would not stop, it was determined to march to the 4th precinct for safety.A start was made in that direction, the mob growing more noisy and violent every moment.Finally the police charged, scattering the strikers right and left and knocking them down by the dozen.Twenty men were seriously injured by the police.All the ambulances aud all the available police force of tho city were onlied to the scene.The immediate cause of the first charge was a brick bit thrown by a striker which hit Officer Siddcll on the head.John Furlong and C.G.Conn have beeu arres!ed.Threats of vengeance aie made by the strikers and the police are preparing for a big fight tomorrow.Gable Personals and Politics Current reports are that the Duke of York has decided to visit the United States, Canada and Australia,

at his office, No.105 Fulton street, was taken ill with fever and ague.His friends advised him to go home.\u201cI suppose I\u2019ll have to abandon my voyage,\u201d said Mr.Montgomery, and then he ordered a cab.When he reached the Eighth street station under the \u201cL\u201d road, the cab broke down and Mr.Montgomery received a shaking up.No bones were broken and Mr.Montgomery then climbed the stairs anvl rode uptown.His family physician was in waiting.When the physician called at 7 a.m.Saturday Mr.Montgomery was still in bed.The doctor said he was improved and a sea voyage might cure him.Mr.Montgomery lost no time.He took a carriage and told the driver to hasten to the Cunard pier.He was the last passenger to reach the ship.An hour and a half later the \u201cUmbria\u201d was lying on top of the wreck of the coal barge \u201cAudrew Jackson\u201d in G.doey a Channel.\u201cHard luck, isn\u2019t it,\u201d stid Mr.Montgomery to a World reporter, who met him on hoard.\u201cI wonder
