The Seaator laid : Mr. WimaQ has strong predilections for Commercial Union. I differ with bicu a good deal about it. I know of no case lu history whore Cummercial Union has •dvancod political anion. It was tried b« tweeu this country and Canada twice and utterly (ailed. Il w»B tried by the Ameri- can colonies before the declaration of iudu- peadenoe and utterly failed. It was uo: until they secured a political anion under the name of a confederacy called the United States that they were able to make a stand •gainst the parent conntry. Kven that confederacy proved to be insufficient to Mouru Commeri.ial Union, and so the United Btates formed a oouatitulion, and then for the tlrsl time had a com- mercial and political union. Com- mercial Union followed political anion. The ZuUvcrein never promoted union in Germany. It promoted discord. There were treaties of all kinds between Kngland and Scotland (or centuries, but they never ooald unite those people until by accident the crowns of both couutritrs fell apon one head. Therefore I think that these gentlemen, like my (riuud Butlerworih, make a mistake when they look to Commercinl Union as a road to political union. I think Cummercial Uuiou promotes points of difference, not points of anion. Krom the scene of the fishery con- troversy clear to Vanuouvor's Island there »re points of controversy that cannot bv avoided by Commprcial Union. The farmers of New York are in interest opposed to the farmers jubt opposite to them in Canada, alibuuxh they are per- fectly willing to unite with them. It is tms. Commercial Union tunda to increaee trade, and yet (wlitical union is the only thing that can bring about absolute reci- procity of trade and communion of in- terests. Do you think Canada is ready for politi- oal anion now V No, I lappoae not. That can only come after long oousideration. It cannot be horned. In regard to negotiations I will â- ay that no proposition has been madu. The (urtbesi anybody ha* ever proposed tu 1^ at this time is simply to express a will ingnosB on the part o( the United Btatt'S to consider (avorably political union. 1 maku no secret or reserve as to my opinion of Canada. I have said for forty years th .t the political union of Canada and the United Btates was the inevitable destiny. When cjuite a young man I travelled in Canada, and last year I crossed the whole continent from Montreal tu Vancouver, and know perhaps as much about it as any public man hero. Did you talk with politicians there ? I talked with members of I'arliamont. I dined with Bir Dunald Bmith at Montreal. I never saw Bir John Macdunald in Canada. I presume I have met him here, but I do not recall him. t<e is undoubtedly the great man u( Canada. I think |>olitical union would be of mutual benefit to both countries, but of special benefit to Canada. The loug boundary hue o( four thousand miles, half of which is an intaiiKiblu line, and the other li«lt water croused daily by vessels of both countries, makes a union necessary or war inevitable. ' do not say there is any feel ing that would justify war, but the Bitiia tion is mui^h as it was bulween the Bcocch and English. Wars grow out of tiivial things. I hiy do not ^row out of enmiiiee. They grow out of aoeidpnts. The line be- tween Canada and the United Utates is iii- oapable of furiifioation or defence, and cus tom hoiisi-s are useliss. As a matter of coarse any invading army would go srouml the forts. As for the custom houses 1 know that a certain amount of Hniii^^gling il going on all the lime. You cannot pre- T«Dt It. I would nut like to any what 1 know as having oooarred. It is a inatttrof notoriety that they get liijuors BoroHH tho line. Now the trouble is less than ever, because our tariffs approxi- mate. If you have exactly the same daty, the . prices would he juHt the same, and nothing would be (jtinoH hy amoggling.

Tlw Hiiiiilariiy of the people in language, descent, habits and institutions make union easy and natural. The lines of commerce from Csnaia to this country are lines of limgituHe, nut of lati tude.

What I would like to Bee is that the Provinces of Canada now organized in separate and dis- tinct aatonomies and having suflicient population should bo represented in Con- KreS4, like our Btates. 'Then the jealousy and rivalry that now exist between Ontario and Quebec would disappear. W'e absorbed Louisiana with the French population. We took in Missouri with much of that popuUtion. We absorbed California with the Mexican Spanish population, a more incongruous population than the French in Canada would be The French-Canadians were friendly to this country at the time of the war of independence and they are now. Quebec would as readily adopt political union as Ontario. Can there be iiny such thing as a partial ac(|nisiiion of Canada, for instance of one of th" Provinces? I do not think Great Britain woald con- sent to that. There would be greater diffi- culties to encounter by partial union than by a general union. You are in opposition to the President on the Retaliatory Bill. I am not in opposition to him. I differ with him. I think the retaliation measures probably will never be authorized and would never bo put in force by the Presi- dent if anthorized, but the right of American fiHhermen to enter the ports of Nova Scotia and tranship their catch will always be insisted on, and every American of every party and every oreed will think it is small and petty basiuess to exclude the fishermen of America from entering Canadian ports, while we open our ports to all the nations of the worldâ€" black, while, barbarous and civilized- and Great Britain does the same.

A London cable says : Nothing that the newspapers can present to their readnrs receives any attention except tho While- chspel murders. Important politieal utterances which ordinarily would pro.oke gnneral discussion are unread, and oonti. neiitnl affairs of vital interest to England are thrust aside as of no consecjuenuewhat. ever. The police have adopted the theory that the lettur and postal card signed Jack, the Ripper," sent to the Central News a week ago Thursday, emanated from the actual murc^erer.

WHAT nn. U.iMILTON THINKS. Niw YoiiK, Oct. 4. â€" New York has be- come a great whispering gallery since the latest news about the Whitecbapel hatch- eries. These awful crimes are becoming the general topic of conversation. Lawyers, detectives, judges and doctors wrangle over theories. All agree in denouncing the Loudon police. " I can conceive o( these crimes being one only by an insane person," said Dr. Allan MoLane Hamilton, the well-known alienist, " and they were very probably committed by a man belonging to a class of insane persons known as iiiqiurt. It is a form of insanity manifest- d by a variet) of impulsive desires to do mischief, such as to Destroy property and cut and mutilate. With this condition is associated a homici- dal tendency, and a state of sexual aberra- tion." â- â-  Aiiuming the murderer to be a mad- man, what is hii probable mental condition now?" " Oh, ho is probably leading the news paper accounts of the murders and enjoy- ing it, going all over the crimes again in his imagination. But he may belong lo another class of lunatics who have awful spells of remorse, and who only kill when the impulse seizes them. Ue may suffer great mental anguish. 1 here is another class of lunatics whose lust is excited by the personal peculiarities of their victims, who will be seized with a fury on seeing a woman with a peculiar kind of hair or a peculiar figure. In these Wbiieohapel cases there are strong signs of sexual aberration in the manner of mutilation. I think the murderer will do a great deal more killing. The more be gives way to his passion the more pleasure it is likely to give him. Uis mental condition at the time he sheds his violim's blood is one of extreme exhilaration." " You have spoken as though you as- sumed the murderer to be a man ; might it not have been a woman 7" " Il is very, very improbable. Women who suffer from the form of insanity that the defilement of these bodies indicates do not commit homicide." Ml. KI'ITZKa'h TMEOIIT. Dr. Edward C. Spiizka, who is known far and wide as a tireless and advanced in- vestigator of mental diseases, also believes that if the cabled stories of the White- chapel murders are true, the murderer is probably a lunatic, and a man, not a woman. " How do you supiiose ho manages to cut the throats and mutilate tho trunks of these women without covering himself with blou<l, BO as to maku detection certain 7" " It could be done by making a sudden pass at thx throat from behind, but it is a very ditlioult operation, requiring great practice. This man is probably eduo«ted, but I hardly think he is refined. That ho knows something about surgery is, I think, pretty certain. The fact that he is able to DASHBO TO TBS QUOVUD. Over a Handred People Isjared at a Church Dedleatli.nâ€" The Walls Give Wmj and a Temporary Floor Falls. A Beading (Pa.) despatch says : Over 100 people injured is the record of an accident which took pUcd;3C^^'erday afternoon dur- ing the ceremonieST attending the laying of the cornor-stone of the new St. Mary's Polish Catholic Church in this city. Pre- vious to the ceremony of the corner-stone laying there was a street parade, partici- pated in by all the Catholic locieties of thin city and adjoining places. Probably 7,000 people gathered at the site of the church in the afternoon to witness the ceremonies. About 1,000 were crowded on a temporary floor laid on the joists and walla of the edi- fice, which bad been carried up one story. Archbishop Ryan, of Philadelphia, arrived in the morning and personally condactod the ceremony, assisted by the priests of the throe Catholic charches here. After the corner-stone had been laid Father Libichi, pastor of the congregation, arose to epeak, and had hardly commenced hit remarks when tho newly constructed walls gave way and one-fourth of the floor fell with an aw- ful crash, precipitating '200 people to the ground a distanoe of from fifteen to eighteen feet. .Xen, women and children were thrown into a confused mass, with joists, brick, stone and mortar on top of them. The excitement was intense, but willing hands at once commenced the work of ex- tricating the unfortunates, many of whom had to be carried out and placed in neigh- boring houses, where their injuries were attended to, and they were then removed to their homes or to tho hospital. It was folly two hours before the wounded were all cared for. It is said tb^ ' several children are still missing. Nine aiu very badly hurt and may die, and fourteen others had limbs broken. The remainder are not very seri- ously hurt. RKXABKABLB CAVE FOUND Near Lake Mlndeuioya, od the Manltoulln laUnd. A Providence Bay despatch mti : On the Slat of September, as Bev. William Schroeder, of Carnarvon ; Meaars. J. C. Kvana, of Poalinch, and Daniel Hagey, of Woodstock, were hahing on Lake Minde- moya, the latter- named gentleman took a stroll on shore and discovered a cave 78 feet in length and 11 feet width, with an arched ceiling of sufficient height for stand- ing room. There are also (wo beaatiful domes, formed by some freak of nature, in the limestone rock. Two branch passages on the left of the entrance have since been found, one of them over 130 feet in length, which cannot be explored in an aprigbt position. Several skeletons, in a fair state of preservation, were grouped near the en- trance. One of the skulls had the appear- ance of having been perforated by a rifle bullet, others crushed by some blunt in- strument. It has been learned that some of the present Indian population discovered this cave, with its lilent inmates, over 30 years ago, but had no knowledge as to how the skeletons came there. None of the white settlers knew of it, and it is to them a source of wonder and astonishment. Nothing besides the skeletons was found except a broken arrow-head, a shell orna ment and a large quantity of fish soalns. It is situated on the (arm of Martin Bock, second concession of the township of Carnarvon. BBATKN TU DBATH. A Wouian, Uurrlblj Abused, Uer Ii\|arles. Dies From with Qen.

This is all that was known of the ojcurrenoe until the following Saturday afternoon, when the woman was found lying in an insensible condition a few yards from the bouse. She died on Sunday morning. It is alleged that the woman was indecently treated and so badly beaten that she died from the injuries received. The whole of her body when discovered was discolored, and tufts of hair from her head were found on the floor and in the bed.

He has been abao- lutely debarred from obtaining any copies of official documents, while free access to them is allowed bis adversaries. At the very last moment he was compelled hy certain august perBOna):,Qs to suppress the reproduction of an autograph statemer' of Emperor Frederick, which reflected on the conduct of Prof. Bergmannin the strongest possible language. The twenty illustratiocB which appear will doubtless t xoite a great deal of interest. The most important are thfl carefully prepared diagrams thowing that Prof. Bergmann made a false passage. The various stages of the growth in the patient's throat are illiutrated by wood cuts. The book may be roughly divided into a narrative of the medical controveri^y and statistics. In the first chapter is m graphic description of the flrsi consulta- tion at the Kron Prinz palais. The histori- cal portion concludes with the death-bed scene. The second part will principally interest the medical profession. In the third. Dr. Mackenzie proves almost inevitably the fatal oonseqaence of thyro- tomy. In the ninth chapter is an eloquent sketch of the (lersonal character of the Emperor. Dr. Mackenzie has labored under countless diflioalties, but no medical work is ever likely lo oausi so profound a sensation. He dedicates it to no one, but has chosen the pungent motto from Shaks- peare : " What trick, what device, what starting-bole canst thou find to hide thee from thy open and apparent shame ?" Ml'RDEBOt'S TUOTH-PULLINO. KetoltlDg Bevelatlona at a Nova Scotia Inqoeat. A Halifax (N S ) despatch says : The iuqueBt on the body of Mrs. Wm. Selig, at Caledonia, Queen's county, shows that she died under revolting circumstances. She was ill a delicate state of health, and had the whole of her teeth extracted by Dr. Andrews under the influence of ether. The woman's wrists were held by her husband while Dr. Andrews drew out her teeth. She struggled very hard before she went under the influence of the drug. When â- even teeth had been pulled out she began to struggle and raid : " I am awake now ; don't take any more teeth out." Her hus- band let go bis wife's hands, when Dr. Andrews said in an angry tone: "D it, hold her hands." The husband did so. and twa or throe more teeth were palled out. Subaequently pieces of teeth were extracted from the gums. Mrs. Selig com- plained that ber gums hurt her, aud Dr. Andrews, after hesitating, gave ber "some- thing to ease the pain," by lujecliog a fluid into her arm with a needle, remarking at the time : " Why do I have it if I don't use il ?" After that the woman said she felt sleepy, and Dr. Andrews said shVd be as bright as a button in the morning, and he went to bed. Mrs. Selig moaned pite- ously, coon became unconscious and died shortly after midnight. A HAD FATE. The Terrible SuRkirloas of a Toanc Man Crushed by a Tree. A Montreal despatch says : A peculiarly sad case came under the notice of the Notre Dame Hospital authorili"a on Satorday week. Ovtla Gauihier, a 23-year old man from Vaudreuil, was almost orni<hed by a pine tree falling upon him at Riviere dee Lievres, 3'J miles north of Le Ferme des Pins, near Buckingham, Que. His fellow- laborers picked him np, put him on an im- provised litter and carried him 32 miles, camping in the woods during the night amid torrents of rain At 10 o'clock on Monday morning they arrived at Le Ferme des Lievrea, where a physician could not be got to dress the poor man's wounds. Hia agony was intense, bat his friends could do absolutely nothing for him. Drenched by the rain, they had to proceed by the river in canoes, making two portages of consider- able length. On Tuesday evening ihey finally reached Buckingham, where a physician attended to some of the injuriea and others be pronounced already (>ast a cure. They arrived here in the city on Wednesday evening and proceeded to Vau- dreuil, where the young man's parents live. Finally, as the physioiatiS there could not do anything for htm, he was taken to Notre Dame Hospital on Friday morning, where ic was found thai gangrene had set in in one of his legs The last rites of the Church were administered and the poor fellow is not expected to live.
