Employees Endangered by Faulty Buildings.JOHNNY GET YOUR GUN.Flathead Indians are Arriving.HzLexa, Montana, Feb.21.\u2014News has just been received from Missoula, in this Territory, that the Flathead Indians are arming themselves, and settlers in the Flathead Lake Valley are in great danger.The section where the trouble originated is without telegraph facilities.A letter received at Missoula from Ra- valli says: \u201cJtseems that an Indian stole an overcoat from J.E.Clifford, of Clifford or Demersville.Clifford struck the Indian on the head with a pistol.The Indian died.Major Ronan says that an Indian brought him a report that J.E.Clifford was killed by Indians Saturday night.It has since been rumoured that both Clifford and Dr.Cunningham were killed.There seems to be a feeling that if Clifford is not killed the Indians will lose no opportunity to kill bim.Everything is quiet here.There are a few Indians in town, and they are chiefly bent on buying ammunition.Squaws and children are hurrying toward the agency.Two white men in the Flathead Valley have been killed, and there is likely to be a great fight.\u201d A freighter from Clifford said there was no excitement in the valley when he left last Thursday, but the Indians threatened him a good deal while he was coming across the reservation.Bad blood is known to have existed among the Indians about Flathead Lake county ever gince the citizens of Demersville hanged two of their number about a year ago.The absence of mail from that section or any deffnite news has created uneasiness among citizans of this place.À stage from Flathead is now past due at Ravilli, and the people are anxiously awaiting it.The uneasiness is increasing, U.8S.PRESIDENTIAL RECEPTION.Order Maintained by Five Hundred Policemen.WasurseroN, Feb.21.\u2014President and Mrs.Cleveland\u2019s last reception of the season to-night was to the general public, and was attended by an overwhelming crowd.All the ladies of the Cabinet assisted excepting Mrs.Fairchild.A large number of other ladies were behind the receiving line, Nearly two hours before the doors opened a crowd began to gather and at 9 o'clock several thousand were in line, A detachment of five hundred policemen preserved order.Promptly at 9 o'clock the doors were opened.It is estimated that eight thousand people passed through, and many could not get inside, \u2014__œ THOUSANDS OF LIVES IMPERILLED.U.8.Government Offices Declared Une safe.WAsHINGTON, Feb, 21.\u2014In the course of the discussion upon the Sundry Civil bill in the Senate to-day it was asserted that the Government Printing Office was a veritable death trap.\u201cDoes the Architect report that the building is safe at the present time ?\u201d was a question asked during the debate by Mr.Blair, \u201cHe does not,\u201d was Mr.Gorman\u2019s ray.Mr, Blair offered a resolution, which was referred to the Committee on Printing, directing that Committee to inquire into the condition of the building.There are now employed in this building nearly 2,500 men, women and children.The main building has been standing only thirty odd years, but its designer never contemplated that it would be put to the severe tests that have frequently been laid upon it.The walls are far from substantial, and it has been found necessary seueral times to brace the floors in order to sustain the great weights often placed upon them.Heavy cutting-ma- chines have been transferred from the top story to the ground floor to relieve the strain, but hundreds of tons of printed books are still stored on the upper floors.In the composing-room on the second floor many tons of type are at all times kept, and the room is\u2019 lined with heavy imposing stones.Not long ago a corridor upon this floor was temporarily used for the storage-of bales of printed sheets.The floor at once began to sink, and was several inches under the level before the matter could be removed.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 * PARTAUT POUR LA SYRIE.\u201d U,S.Pilgrims Set Sail for Palestine.New Yorx, Feb.21.\u2014The Catholic pil- gris, who sail to-day on the steamer Wieland to make a journey to the Holy Land, assembled in the Cathedral in Fifth avenue yesterday morning to receive the parting benediction of Archbishop Corri- gan.There was a congregation of 2,000 persons.The pilgrims, clergy and laity, to the number of one hundred, met first in the parlors of the Female Orphan Asylum, in rear of the Cathedral where each received a silver medal}, on one side of which was the crucifixion and on the other a.cross with the name of the pilgrim underneath.A procession was formed headed by Father Vissani, the Franciscan, who had orzanizad the association, and two by two the pilgrims entered the Cathedral.Father Vissani, in the robe of his order, bore aloft the siiken banner which is to be placed on the tomb of our Saviour in Jernsalem.The Right Rev.W.M.Wigger, Bishop of Newark, N.J,, celebrated a low mass.Archbishop Corrigan, at the end of maes, preached an appropriate sermon, and bid them all a tender farewell.\u2014_\u2014\u2014 THE NEW WHISKEY LAW.Bill for the Regulation of the Trafic.TRENTOX, Feb, 21.\u2014The Democrats have atlast agreed upon a bill for the regulation of the liquor traffic.It will be introduced to-morrow by Senator Edwards and pushed to a third reading on Monday.In effect it provides for the repeal of the present Local Option law and vitiates the resulis of all elections heretofora beld under it.It leaves the hjgh license provisions as they are now\u2014g150, $200 and $250, according to population.Wholesale liquor stores, groceries, grog shops and all other places where liquor is sold by the quart but not to be drank on the premises, are to pay the same license fee as hotels and saloons.The power of revoking licenses fer violation of the law is taken away from the courts and lodged with the authority which grants the licenses.That is, in Newark, the Excise Board is vested with such authority ; in Jersey City and other cities, the Board of Aldermen, and in towns and townships the Courts of Common Pleas have power.The bill does not interfere with present laws against Sunday selling, selling to minors, &e.IS MARRIAGE A FAILURE ?Mr.Harris Has Reason to Think So.New York, Feb.21.\u2014Simeon Harris, a well to do resident ot Plainfield, caused his wife's arrest for ill (rostment, and esterday she was committed to the County Tail in Elizabeth.Mr.Harris 18 8ixty years of age and his wife is twenty years his junior.They were married seven years ago.The

indicative of a general improvement in business throughout the country.At New York, St.Louis, Chicago, St.Paul and Boston, there has been relatively most improvement, in seasonable staples only.At Philadelphia gains are noted in a few lines, but there is no noteworthy activity.At San Francisco, Omaha, Louisville, St.Joseph, Cleveland and Memphis general trade is about steady, and at Galveston and New Orleans, where wet weather has interfered notably, and at Kansas City the moyement of merchandise is less active and not so satisfactory.Coal at San Francisco has dropped §3 per ton.Australian wheat reports promise an export surplus of only 3,500,000 bushels, against 10,500,000 bushels a year ago.Louisville reports exceptionally heavy Indian corn receipts and shipments, with lack of cars to supply demand.St.Louis says the snow in that region is helping grain and fruit.Reductions i wages of iron workers, ranging from to 10 per cent., are reported from Reading, Birdsboro, Potts- ville, Pottstown and other points in Pennsylvania.Lack of orders is the reason generally given.Competition of southern iron is advance\u2019 by one mill.The nam- ber of men atliicted by the reduction exceeds 3,500.The prosperity of New England textile concerns is indicated by the fact that several important concerns are enlarging their capacity for production, \u2018While the interstate railway agreement hung fire, stock speculation hesitated, but when at the close of the week it seemed likely to fall through, the market broke, and bearish influences became predominant.Bonds continue strong.Money is easy in spite of the resumption of gold shipments to Europe.Call loans are 13(@2 per cent.Foreign exchange is high and firm on the absence of either commercial or stock bills.Demand sterling 4.883 @4.89.It is evident that the extra railway mileage of 1887 and 1888 to some extent proved a burden instead of a benefit last year.The gross earnings of 95 railroad companies in 1888 were $622,659,427, an increase of $20,403,147, about 3} per cent.over those of 1887, but net earnings aggregated only $202,544,611, a decrease of $14,481,996, or 6.6 per cent.Dry goods for spring and summer are in fairly active jobbing distribution at New York and Boston.Agents note only a moderate demand with a fair movement reported on previous orders, and export cotton notably active.Print cloths are quoted 1 1-6¢ lower on slight acccumula- tion of stock, but manufacturers are slow to sell.Cutting of prices by jobbers at New York continues to be noted.Boston jobbers are not as much interested in this direction as those of New York.\u2018Wholesale clothiers report trade active, but the aggregate demand is limited by small individual orders.Price concessions are being made to move accumulations, .Foreign goods are fairly active, with silks moving in largest relative volumes.Light stocks of raw wool and strong foreign advices keep values firm.The actual demand is light.Raw cotton is 1-16c bigher oa the statistical position, with a manipulation of much delivery and a good demand.Wheat has not changed materially since February 15; even with large purchases at Akrcn, Buffalo and other milling centres cover requirements and continued confidence of the bulls at Minneapolis, Chicazo and New York.Flour is unchanged and dealers are firm.Exports of wheat, both coasts, this week (including flour) are exceptionally small, owing to a heavy decrease of the Pacific Coast shipments.The total exports, as wheat, equal 666,000 bushels, against 1,270,755 bushels last week, and 1,796,839 bushels in the like week of 1888.Heavy buying by interior millers continues.Hog prodûcts, in sympathy with the west, are weak and declining.Cattle and hogs are ia liberal supply and weak at Western centres, with few exceptions Raw sugar has been in light demand, and prices are unchanged.Advices trom primary markets favour holders.Refined sugar is steady, with no new features.Speculation in coffee has been more active with hardening European markets and Brazilian reports of unfavourable weather, and prices are up à@# per pound.The cistributing movement is less satisfactory.Increased

Reigns.PRESIDENT CARNOT FORMS A MINISTRY.Her »Bsassins Dogging the Steps of British Ministers, IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.The Queen's Speech\u2014Every Prospect of Peace, but Keep the Powder Dry\u2014 Legislation for Ireland and Scotland.LoxpoN, Feb.21.\u2014Parliament re- agsembled to-day.The following is the speech of the Queen opening the session : My Lords and Gentlemen : During the brief period since the close of the last session nothing has happened to affect the cordial relations between myself and other powers.The operations successfully completed in Egypt a few days before the prorogation of Parliament effected their object and I do not see any ground for apprehending a renewal of the disturbance in the neighbourhood of Suakim.The negotiations which I directed to be opened with Thibet for the prevention of encroachment upon my rights over Sikkim have not been brought to a favourable conclusion, but I hope further military operations will not be necessary.I have consented to take part in a conference with Germany and America at Berlin upon the Samoan question.This will be a continuation of the cenference recently held in Washington on the same subject.Gentlemen of the House of Commons : The increasing expenditures upon warlike preparations incurred by other European nations has rendered necessary any increase in the precautions hitherto taken for the-safety of our shores and commerce.The counsels by which other powers are guided and which dispose of their vast forces are at present uniformly friendly to England, but I have no right to assume that this condition is necessarily secures from the possibility of change.My Lords and Gentlemen : Some portions of the bill presented in 1888 for amending local government in England and Wales were laid aside owing to pressure upon the time of Parliament.From the same cause it was impossible to enter upon the question of local government in Scotland.Bills upon these matters will be submitted.Early in the session your attention will be asked to measures for the development of the material resources of Ireland and for amending the constitution of the various tribunals having special jurisdiction over real property in Ireland.The statutes recently passed for the restoration of order and confidence in Ireland have already been attended with salutary results.: Legislation will be necessary for the execution of the sugar convention, and also for the completion of the conversion of the three per cent.annuities.The state of the gold coinage has, for years past, been the subject of a legitimate compiaint, and a measure restoring it to a satisfactory condition will be submitted.oThough the Commission appointed to inquire into the civil establishments of the kingdom has not yet completed its labours, it has made a valuable report.Proposals for legislation arising therefrom will be submitted.Several subjects which the increasing burden of your duties shut out from coa- sideration during the last session will be submitted again.Among them are measures relating to titles regulating the universities in Scotland, detzrmining the liabilities of employers in case of acci~ dents to employees, vstablishing a department of agriculture, cheapening the transfer of land and remedying the abuse attached to the limited liability of joint stock companies.pe THE CRISIS ENDED.Formation of the New French Cabinet.Paris, Feb.21.\u2014President Carnot today issued a decree officially announcing the formation of a Cabinet, with the following members :\u2014M.Tirard, Premier and Minister of Commerce; De Freycinet, Minister of War; M.Konstans, Minister of the Interior, M.Rouvier, Minister of Finance; De Folliere, Minister of Instruction; M.Theoriet, Minister of Justice; Faye, Minister of Agriculture; Admiral Jaureau, Minister of Marine ; Baron De Courcel, Minister of Foreign Affairs.\u2018Whilst the announcement of the list does not satisfy all parties yet there is a general feeling of relief thatthe crisis is over for the present.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 GUARDING BRITISH MINISTERS.Supposed Plots for Their Assassination.Loxpox, Feb.21.\u2014The Scotland Yard officials have received information leading to a general belief in police circles tbat the Invincibles are engaged, in perfecting the details of a most desperate plot to murder several of the high ofii- cials of the Government.So circumstantial are the stories poured into the ears of the police officials that even Lord Salisbury is impressed with a belief in their genuineness, and notwithstanding his persistent refusal hitherto to permit himself to be guarded by officers of the law he was yesterday placed under the protection of the police, tbe men assigned to the duty of protecting him kept him constantly in sight.Mr.Balfour's personal safety has for some time past been a special charge of the police, and it is likely in view of this latest scare that several other members of the Cabinet will avail themselves of such protection as Scotland Yard may be able to afford them against the real or supposititious assassins lying in wait for them.ce LORD ROSEBERY\u2019S BANQUET.Liberal Leaders in Consultation.Loxvox, Feb.21.\u2014Lord Rosebery gave a banquet to the leaders of the Liberal party last night at which Mr.Gladstone, although scarcely recovered from the fatigue of his journey, was present.The subjects discussed are not definitely known, but it is understood that a resolution dealing with Irish affairs was formulated which will be offered as an amendment to the address replying to the Queen\u2019s Speech to be read in Parliament.It is generally believed that a great many Conservatives and Unionists will refuse to endorse the coercion policy of Mr.Balfour commonly known as \u201cBalfourism.\u201d aud it is expected that a division in the House of Commons on a question of approving his course will show a very small majority in the affirm- ative, if, indeed, the majority be not on the other side.Even a narrow majority in favour of the Government on this question would, in the present temper of the people, bave a mighty moral influence upon the country, and, in the event of the failure of the Zimes\u2019 case before the Parnell Commission, it would be difficalt for the Tories to defy the popular demand for a general election.\u2014_\u2014\u2014 THE GLADSTONIANS MOVING.Notice of a Vote of Censure.Loxpoy, Feb, 21.\u2014In the House of Commons to-day Mr.John Morley gave notice that he would move a motion of censure against the Irish policy of the Government.Mr.Gladstone\u2019s speech yesterday, criticising so severely the civil list measures, is taken as an indication that a very determined opposition will be made during the present session.-\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE FRENCH CABINET.A New Candidate for Honours.Paris, Feb.21.\u2014The new cabinet, the scheme of which was published in the morning papers, has not yet been officially announced.The Chambers met and adjourned again without receiving any communication from the executive power.President Carnot is conferring with MM.De Freycinet, Tirard,

They are the Best Blood of America.RoANoKE, Va, Feb.21.\u2014Bishop Newman\u2019s address on \u201cReligious Education in the South\u201d has created a sensation.He said that the purest blood of America Was to be found in the South, and that he did not know but the Southerners ought to thank God they had been born south of the Potomac.The North would have to engage in a death-grapple with a dangerous and antagonistic foreign element now crowding into her cities and fast dominating legislatures and municipalities.When the struggle comes it may be that the South will again have to march forth, loyal this time to the dear old flag of the Republic and preserve our dearest national institutions from foreign encroachment.He said he could speak by authority and assure the South that Harrison would know no South or North, East or West in conducting the affairs of Government, but would be the President o all the people and his appointments to office in the South would be from our very best people.Bishop Newman repeated what he recently told the Governor of South Carolina, that Harrison would solve the race problem by drawing a line, placing intelligence on the one side and ignorance on the other, without regard to race orcolor; and while intelligence ruled he would bring the in- Huence of religious education to bear on the ignorant, educating and elevating them.\u2014\u2014 A Suitor for Princess Victoria.BeruiN, Feb.21\u2014Prince Charles of Sweden will visitthe Emperor early in March.It is reported that he comes to be betrothed to Princess

Sixth Parliament, BY TELEGRAPH FROM OUROWN CORRE3PONDEN Quesec, Feb.21.The Speaker took the chair at 3.15 p.m.After the presentation of reports of committees and other routine business the following bills were introduced :\u2014 By Mr.Bigson\u2014To amend the Railway Act for the purpose of establishing the property of others.By Mr.Dechene\u2014To amend the Raile way Act, and especially article 5170, Mr.Flynn was informed, on enquiry, that the revised statutes would be sent to the justices of the peace as soon as received from the book-binders.Mr.Leblanc was also enlightened that there did exist the Act concerning the construction of iron bridges, and 5i Vie, chap, and Mr, De- chene (Lislet) was told that Mr.P.R.O.Belanger, surveyor, had received £3,200 for services from October 1879 to January 1887, but since 1887 to 1859 he had received only $500.Mr.Legris was informed that the superannuation of Mr.George Leclerc was under consideration.On Mr.Faucher de St.Maurice\u2019s motion for all correspondence with reference to certain frauds which have been perpetrated, and are still being perpetrated, in various localities of the Province of Quebec, the Hon.Premier said that he would take advantage of the occasion and denounce the system of frauds which had for years been practised on the farming community.He declared that all the regular documents would show that most criminal actions had been practised by agents.It was time, he thought, to put the farmers on their guard against strangers who cajoled them into signing notes on false representations.On the motion of Mr.Leblanc for a statement showing to what municipalities has the Government, since 1st January, 1887, granted total or partial remissions of the amount owed by them to the municipal loan fund.The Premier explained that the main rule guiding the government was fair play.\u201d to all, irrespective of political leanings.He considered it better to get from a municipality owing a debt of $20,000 since 1852 $6,000 than receive nothing.By this means the credit of these municipalities was made better.x.Desjardins did notagree, of course, With this idea.The discussion was continued by Hons.Shehyn, Blanchet and Mr.Lemieux.The latter defended in a vigourous manner the policy of the Government, and warmly denied tnat the Cabinet had been actuated by political motives in the arrangements.The House took recess at six o'clock.AFTER RECESS, The hour for private bills was taken up with an acrimonious debate on Mr.Pelletier\u20198 bill to admit Mr .L.P.Robi- taille as a member of the bar after examination.Mr, Pelletier moved in amendment that the words \u201cafter examination\u201d be replaced by the words * to practice.\u201d The mover spoke strongly on the amendment of Mr.Flynn.The young man, he said, deserved being admitted as much as Mr.Lynch, whose bill was passed a few days ago.The debate was continued by Messrs.Lafontaine, Lemieux, Lussier, Gagnon, (L\u2019Islet), Flynn, Taillon and Duhamel.The members were called in and a vote taken, resulting in 28 for, 25 against.The ameudment was carried and the bill referred back to the Private Bills Committee.The resumed debate on the act to disenfranchise civil service employees was taken up by Mr.Boyer, who moved the six months\u2019 hoist.: Mr.St.Maurice followed, supporting the amendment.The members were then called in and the vote was taken, standing 22 for, 30 against.The House then went into committee of the whole on the bill to amend and consolidate the law respecting the Dental Association of the Province of Quebec.Dr.Degrosbois, who took the seat of the Hon.Mr.Taillon, moved several amendments and was supported by the loyal opposition, which he was chaffed upon as leading.Finally the bill was reported and the third reading fixed for to-morrow.The rest of the evening was taken up in discussing Mr.Beauchamp\u2019s bill to amend the law respecting agriculture and colonization.The House adjourned at midnight.\u2014\u2014æ FROM THE PRAIRIE CITY.The Minority All Broke Up-~Settlers After Homesteads\u2014Cancus Governa ment Supporters\u2014Gabriel Dumont.Wissirec, Feb.21.\u2014It is evident that the small opposition in the Local House is irretrievably split, O\u2019Mally and Wood posing as Independents.A meeting of settlers in Southwestern Manitoba is arranged for March 13th to take steps to secure 160 acres to those settlers who only were granted eighty acres homesteads.À caucus of Government supporters was held yesterday, but no important subjects were
