Dec. 29.--The Neuee Winer journal publiehea an interview with Sir Charles lhlke, awell-known member-of the British parliament, considered a high authority on foreign affairs. He says that the situation in eastern Asia ia very threatening. and that he knows for cer- tain that Japan is making war-like pre- parations with feverieh activity. That country seems to project an attack on China for Corea. Sir Charles declares that he has no faith in Japan's pacic profes- eione. He reminded the interviewer that England occupied Port Hamilton in 1885 and 1887, and said that Great Britain greatly needed a naval station in North China. " mu mamey, and nor cnnrge was cruelty.

There is no doubt that senor (ialvez will be the first Cuban premier. He has been long prominent as the leader of the autonomiat party in the island. He is described as a man of wide inlluence among the moat Eubetantial Cubans, and popular with the people at large. Senor Amblard will be another name in the cabinet listif he will consent to take the place. He has been in Wash- ington for several days in conference with the Spanish minister and left here last night for Cuba. ltia possible that senior Amblard may prefer to continue in parlia- mentary life. in which` caneit is believed he will become the leader of the Cuban , party in the cortez. . .` of last year.

During the ternoon a fairly satis- factory amount of business was transacted. Three government measures got a second reang. being respectively the hills to set spa forest reserves, to authorize the framing `of regulations for the reservation of water powers on crown lands.'and to prevent gambling at agricultural fairs. The house then- went into committee of sup ly. The grant for colonization re s was` , the` main, subject of discussion. Col. Gibson said that the sum asked for was not larger than the average of other years, although larger than that The need of roads through the mining country had necessitated a there was no ovenin session of the legielr l diminution of the nt given for 1897. The grant the year was re- stored to its usual proportions. Col. Matheson asked .if the work was done according to a systematic plan. When he was up in East Algoma he was told a that enough money had been spent in n short roads in that region to have put a ne road all along the north share. I Col. Gibson's reply was that there were I portions of the north shore which were not settled and never would be settled I for agricultural purposes. It would be ' lolly to construct roads in such places. The government constructed roads where I there were settlers to use them, 1 and. of course, constructed them on a denite plan. Last season a good i road has been run from the C. P.R. to the l Seine River. giving communication by way of that river and Rainy Lake to a large i extent of mining country. Adnily stage I now plied on this road. Another road had c been run from Fort Frances to the Lake of the Woods. Iwolvr Your-OH Iluy Dr-`nod. ._--.... 0.; I'\._ 1 Ilinlx. u- Bnmpleuol Wholualo Dlvoroo. .. 1,: 1\_. nn nu IN THE LEGISLATURE.

NEW Yonx, Dee. 29.--John today in a hospital from the effects of stab wounds inflicted by Geo e H. Din- eeln. The circumstances of t e homicide `are peculiar and only beoahiehnown to- day. Hoaley had been out of work for some time. Lincoln; who is married, he- frisnded him and the two men were the beat of friends. On Christmas day Lincoln . entered his home intoxicated and threaten- ed to strike his wife. Healey pleaded for her and the wife ran into another room. She returned. alter hearing sounds ole struggle. and found Henley covered with blood. Her husband had gone to the hospital. Lincoln. who was only slightly stabbed, was arrested on his way to the hospital and brought to Healey s bedside. Healey' positively denied that he had. ever seen, Lincoln before, and he died to-day, refusing to implicate in any way the man who had befriended him. If it had not been for the statements made by Lincoln's wife (as to the quarrel in the dining-room, there is little likelihood that Lincoln would have- been suspected of killing Healey. Lincoln is so distressed over the affair it is feared that he will attempt suicide, and a spwial watch has been placed over him. He .was remanded to await the action of the cor- oner's jury, and will probably be charged with homicide. ' flIlI"IlIIlI|l:0Iu Ila om wnuo rmcuung rung; "' lY.....
