Gladstone says : " I am a little surprised at the inaccuracy o( Mr. Findlay's statements, bat much must be allowed (or a disappointed section with a (ailing cause." Lord Randolph Chorchill, speaking at 'Whitby to-day. said : " The present Parlia- meni is fairly democratic aod is thertf ore strong. If it were otherwise it would be unable to grapple firmly with the National League. The obstruction encountered dur- ing the seasion was due 10 Mr. Gladstone acting as leader c< the Parnellitee."

An Kxplaetea Wkteh Caasea a Great â- sasatlon. A Toledo, O.. despatch says : There is great excitement among oil and gsM opera- tors in this city over the reports of an im- mense oil condsgration in the 'Wood county oil fields. The fire was caused by an ex- plosion in the Parker Well No. 1, the greatest oil well in tha world, a well thai has been uncontrollable (or days and which flows 10.000 barrels every twenty. (our hours. The oil oaogbt fire from the engine and rapidly spreiMl to the other derricks aod tanks. lu the oil fields are large pools of petroleum and the creeks and rivers are (all o( oil. This only adds (uel to the flames. The scene is described by an eye- witness as must thrilling snd mskgnificent. \\ the time ol the exploaion, without warn- ing, a oolamn of bloe dame and smoke shot up into the air at leaat 1,000 feet and ex- tended over acres of ground. The heal was to intense tbal it was impossible to ap- proach nearer than half a mile. It could be plainly (elttwo miles away and the sight o( the burning well ia visible in Toledo, thirty miles distant. The damage will nm up to hundreds o( Ihoasands o( dollars. One of the drillers, Geo. Johnson, was caught in a whirlwind ot smoke, oil and flame, and was so badly burned that no hopes are enter- tainsd of his recovery. Other drillers are missing and it is (eared they have perished in the tlameo. Some Daageroos JuDipin^.

OermanT AuiluBS ta -tUr Berseir with IbUjrâ€" BoaslaSaiattit Alone. A Loudon .able says : The uueaainess and uncarlsinty of the European aspect (ell here are much aggravated by the aban- donment of ibe proposed meeting of the Caar and Emperor William at Stettin. The triple »iii«r«^ is now openly dead, and the ICalnoky and Bismarck meeting am- phasi-MS its '.lemise. Tha two Chaucellon have tubetituted Italy for Russia, and British miliury ofiicera who know tha per- fection of the Italian army regard Italy as no mean ally. But Russia is now playing a hand entirely her own. The C^, who manages his own foreign policy, evidently wants to keep free from all entang'iing alli- aocee. The contempt poured upon the French Republic by the Hussisu press, notably by the MiMcow Ocinttt, since M. Katko j's death, and the Czar's well-known dislike of the men who now rule Franoe, indicate no present arrangement with tha Paris Government ; but every day makes clearer thai when what Friuca Biamarok calls the " inevitable " war between France and Germany bi-eaks oat, the Germans will have to count upon Rossia as s passive if not as an active foe- Private letters from Barlin declare the existence of almost #|rverisfa anxiety in high places to be ready 10 strike, sharp and strong, against any future combination of Rossis and France, and to Secure Italy as an ally for the defence of Austrian territory against Rus- sian aggression. It is the belief of the British Foreign Offioa that Italy is already committed to thai responsibility, bat thiJt ia not generally accepted. The Cologne Ooifiu professes to describe Germsui feel- ing without friendship and without enmity. France is naturally delighted that the Czar refrains (rom meeting his Imperial rela- tives. m rOl'BTlitUt IJOLLABi FOK A KISS. It Came HIsti and Xr. Bross Did Mot Want It. A New Tork report says : Jsmee Bross, a sturdy, although aged, citizen of New London, came to this city to see the sights lasl Sunday. While wandering along Cherry street late that evening he noticed a crowd of blithesome girls laughing and chatting on a corner. While he was passing the merry group ha was most astonished by suddenly finding a pair of arms about his neck. At the same time a silvery voice exclaimed : " Ob, yoa . r, old rling, give me a kiss." Mr. Bross had never been greeted in that way in New London. • Go 'way, go 'way. you bold girl," cried he. â- â-  Yoo ought to be ashamed of your- self." "Oh, beg pardon," said the girl who had stolen a kiss (rom the aged New Londoner. " I mistook you for my father." Mr. Broaa passed on, laughing over tha oke until he stepped into a store to buy a cigar, when he was astounded to find that m, which he had in bis vest pocket, was gone. He foand a policeman, who arrested Annie Clark, a black-eyed maiden, whom Broes ideniined a^ the girl who had kissed him.

A Detroit despatch says : D troit as a venerable and worthy patriot, with tha Barbara Frietchie spirit, in the person of Mrs. Hulbert, of Third avenue, who is nearly M years old. Mrs, Hulbert sent four sons to the war, all of whom ao>]uitted themselves with credit, and one laid down his life 00 the field of battle. The mother is imbued with strong loysdty to the flag. During the meeting of the Army of the Tennessee in Detroit last week a handsome American dag doaled from the roof of the Hulbert residence ; bat one of the grand- children, in s spirit of mischief, tacked a captured lebel signal flag to the staff above the Stars and Stripes. Mrs. Hulbert saw it, and was indignant. She kept her own cotmsel, however, and when an opportunity presented she went to the attic and climbed by a rickety ladder to the roof, snd thence reached the rebel signal by means of steps, and tore it from the staff. She has hidden the flag, and, in replv tosdl inquiries, says : " You will find that dag when I'm dead â€" not till then." Mrs. Hulbert is a sister of the late Henry Schoolcraft, the Indian historian. No Man«7 In VThsat. A London cable says : Lord Randolph Churchill, addressing a meeting of farmers at Y'ork, said the present low prices in wheat were ruinous to the farmer. As a politician be had not a grain of comfort to offer them. The British farmer growing wheat, he said, did not seem to know when he was beaten. Lord Churchill said he foresaw nothing that was likely to csnw a rise in the price o( wheat suthcient to cause a profit to the grower. The foreign imports were illimitable, not from America only, bat from other sources. The farmers of England should realize thoroughly that India is a tremendous gransry, and will continue to pour into the Esgliah market increasing quantities of wheat. This radi- cal change in tha conditions of farming should prepare all persons interested in agriculture to adapt themselves to changes. Mutilated While CoupUns Cars. A Barrie deapatoh says : Harvey Sizer, a young man in the employment of the Northern A- Northwestern Railway as bead brakesman in the Barrie and Allandale yards, was knocked down snd run over while coupling cars at Barrie yeetarday morning, 'rwo cars passed over his leg be-low the knee, crushing the bone to badly that amputation was necessary.

The Loodon correspondent of the Globe cables : Soma joonials, commenting on the reported intention of the Queen to visit Canada, orgs that a royal visit to tha Dominion woiild be of great benefit to the Throne and the Empire. A visit to Canada, however, would nuoessitate visits to the other colonies, and this would be impossible for the Queen. It is suggested, however, that the Prince of Wales might, with great advantage to the State, endeavor to find an opportunity to visit Canada and the other colonies. I am personally aware that tha Prince has long ago taken a keen interest in the progress of tha Dominion. Ue has, St 'nia own ret^uest. been supplied with the best available maps of the Dominion, l>boto8 of Canadian scenery and other printed information, and, did State ex- igencies permit, would gladly andertake an intercolonial tour. Doubt, however, is expressed whether it would be possible (or him to do so. The Canadian Northweet. The injunction against the R. R- V. R. filed by the Dominion Government come up in the courts to-morrow, but will pro- bably be enlarged for a week. The Hudson Bay Railway will extend their line five miles to St. Laurent settle- ment, and a weekly train will be run to that point. It is thought quite a large business can be done in carrying wood to the city. The first shipment of rails arrived here yesterday and went through to Morris. The real hitch has arisen through the Province not being able to put up the amount of freight due the C. V. R. on the rails. There is a large amount due (or freight, and until that is paid the rails will not be released by the C. P. R. ' The first shipment of cattle aver made (rom the Western ranches to tha Eastern Canadian market will passthroutih the city in a few days, aa it is being loaded at Cal. gary now.
