Opiter per Orbem Dicor.,' WIGH JINKR IN LONDON. The premiers appear to be enjoying thémselses in Fneland, and at func tions which mav not be quite pleasing to all the people they represent For instance the Winnipeg Telegram which is conservative, speaks of an entertainment which R.P. Roblin gave in London, and puts these words into his mouth : "No, it was not a drunk, but a roval good time --did we go some ? Not the evening but the whol blooming night, --the show gant--champagne ? Nothing else, logds of it, Colin Campbell was on my right--will never forget it." The distinguished Canadians canngt be expected to accept the hospitalitid of the good people abroad and dc no entertaining in return. But is it wise by 13, som was ele to picture any man as muddled the liquor he drank and as giving ex pression to the rankest nonsense. The quotation cannot, surely, be accepted as a correct re flection of Mr. Roblin's mind, and it is somethin one is surprised to find in a conservative paper and about a Telegram's conservative premier, ---- COAL SUPPLY ASSURED. Good news comes from Oswego. Ter weeks ago the coal supply was tie up. That is orders were given to the three agencies there to neither sell nor ship of the ten thousand tons the had on hand.! They acted according ly. On Saturday the D. IL. & W. trestle received instruc tions to dispose of the 2,400 toos of coal that had been held in the pockets of the trestles for an emergency. At once he sent out letters to customers in Canada, says the Palladium, invit ing orders "at the regular wholesale price, without regard to the strike.' Orders were telegraphed and four of them were fylea' from Kingston. The coal is already here or on the way. A new difficulty has arisen--one that was foreseen, that the urgent demand for vessel accommodation has increas ed the fréight rates, and this increase is expected to be maintained. The future of the coal market is still a suhject of speculation. "The best information to be had," says ows contemporary, "is that the coal com panics are going to begin the mining immediately, and that they will be successful the operators say there is no doubt." The manager of one firm is satisfied that by the lattes part of this week coal trains will be running over the D., L. & W. railroad as usual. Otherwise he did not believe that the company's officials would take the chances and release the coal they held in Oswego. As a matter of fact there has been plenty of coal mined all along and ior consumption. But as soon as the strike ocenrred, over two months ago, it was resefved. Its release, at form or prices, is ou ive. There is the assurance of 4 new supply or the old supply would not be sold except at a very material advance. manager of the of coal CANADA UNDER STUDY. Canada got a great advertisement when the Prince and Princess of Wales passed through it last year. The time at the disposal of the royal pair was short, and yet they saw 5 good deal of the country, especially on the fast trip they made to the Pacific coast, and upon the unparallelea Ca- nadian Pacific railway. Passing im pressions were embodied in the ad dresses which the prince delivered in Canada, and in the summing up of the whole which he gave on his return to England. With the royal party in Canada tra- velled several English artists and cor respondents, men who had been over much of the world in a professional capacity, and who were qualified to obsorve and reflect and write with candour and aiscretion. These were generally profuse in their praise ol Canada, of its position and possibili- ties. They saw enough to satisfy them that this country had a great future before it, industrially, com- mercially, agriculturally. Since then, and perhaps as a result of what they said, the dominion has been visited by various expeditions, and enduiry has been wade into the issues that af fect education, transportation, labour and capital. The reports have been made public, and they have been of a very gratifying character. Now it is announced Mr. Preston. ai publisher , ot 06910 King Street, ai Bditions ot 2.30 aod THE DAILY WHIG, WEDNESDAY, JOLY 23. A CLAD WELCOME HOME.

London, July A forecast of the result of the conference of the colon- prise ministers, from a sours that is friendly to imperial federation, makes it appear that not much has been accomplished. According to this authority the chief decisions that can be expected are that the prime minis ters will henceforth hold conferences every three years, and that the colon ies will increase their contributions imperial navy. Some of the colonies will grant certain increased preferential trade to England, not in exchange for similar concessions, but as an evidence of imperial feeling Great Britain will not grant preferen tial treatment, but will make isolated revenue and tariff alterations, for instance, in favor of Australian wines.

Houghton, Mich July --~Twice requested to make his sermon brief, the Rev, Henry Gillingham, pastor of the Atlantic Methodist church, of At lavtic, a nent Houston, preached or » shortest sermons if not the p wm record, last Sunday evening. No ope in the cop per country Wy heard a discourse so brief and so pithy as this was.

The pastor good humor, service prepared accepted the wish in He went to the evening to make a thirty minute discourse. As he entered the vestibule of the church, however, he met another prominent member of the congregation, who accosted him. with "Very warm tonight! Hope you will make it short !" Rev. Mr. Gillingham changed his mind about the thirty-minute service During the opening exercises he pre pared another which he thought would be suitably brief. When he arose to announce his text he remarked that he had twice been asked to make his sermon short and he would try to do Hi this should seem too long, he ll stop next time with the text Then he delivered this sermon Text, Luke xvi, 24: "And he and said : 'Father Abraham, merey on me, and send Lazarus, he may dip the tip of his finger water and cool my tongue, for | tormented in this flame."

Woman Who Killed Her Hus- band Acquitted. New York, July 23.--Mrs. Lizzie Ma daus was acquitted of killing her hus- band with a potato knife. The case was tried before recorder Gofi, who had charged the jury strongly for conviction, and few believed the de fence could hope for anvthing better than a disagreement, Even the prison er, who had been stoical throughout the trial, cried as the recorder finished his charpe Mrs five children, including ber prison-born infant, were in the court and the near-by corridor, When the jury returned and the foreman an nounced the verdict, recorder Goff said to the prisoner "The ancients had a law whereby in the case of a very outrageous crime they would sometimes permit the cri minal to live that he might sufier the shame of his crime, which they consid- ered y severer punishwent than anv they could inflict, and something like this must have been in the jury's mind that they let you live and look upon the faces of your children, the child ren whom you have made orphans. "The result of this verdict, most ex traordinary as it is, even in the face of vour own testimony, your freedom, but you will carry with vou the knowledge that vou have mur dered your husbund and orphaned your children. You may go." The recorder refused to order the restoration to the mother of two chil dren who have been placed in the care of a charitable socicty. FINED FIFTY DOLLARS.

Perth, Ont., July 22 ---Roland Burr, night watchman and constable at the C.P.R. car shops up to the time of the fire on July 5th, was tried before magistrate Taylor for neglect of duty Burr was arrested in Ottawa by aC P.R. detective and brought to Perth to stand his trial. He had been night watchman for many years, but disap- peared at the time of the fire. The crown alleged that the prisoner had neglected his duty. The defence was that there was no legal neglect of duty, and that the prisoner was not proved" to have been constable, and without proof on these points a conviction was not within the statutes Magistrate Taylor stated that he would have to find that Burr was appointed constable although it might be well to take that point to a higher court for decision. Owing to the excellent reputation of the prison er the magistrate imposed a fine of $50, and costs which amounted to seven dollars and fifty cents. GOVERNOR OF QUEBEC.
