HALIFAX, Feb. 16.â€" During the early stages of the Cape Breton cam- paign at a public meeting at Glace Bay Sir Charles Tupper read a telegram from Rev. Dr. Isaac Murray. Presby- terian divine of North-Sydney, which heartily endorsed Sir Charles’s method of settling the school question, and de- claring in favor of equal rights and justice to all. This had the result of creating trouble between Rev. Dr. M ur- ray and his congregation. It now de- velops that no such telegram was sent him by Dr. Murray. The facts are that Father McPherson, Little Bras d’Or, called on Dr. Murray and asked him to sign a paper endorsing the can- didature of Sir Charles Tupper and favoring the remedial school bill. Dr. Murray declined to sign the paper, but. told Mr. McPherson if he saw Sir Charles he could tell him that: he was a Conservative, and by all means to uphold the constitution, or words to that effect, but he never sent the tele- gram. It is reported Dr. Murray wrote Sir Charles asking him not to repeat the statement. In addition to this, it is stated that when Dr. Murray was asked why he did not; deny Sir Charles Tupper's statement at once, when he saw Sir Charles was using the bogus telegram story todeceive the people, the doctor explained that he hesitated to publicly brand Sir Charles as speaking falsely, and let the matter rest. ‘ These are the main facts of the case, as they come from a. reputable and well in- formed source. -0 The Meddling Archbishop. Archbishop Cleary, of Kingston, plays a good second to Bishop Gravel in im- pressing his vicws on the Privy Council. The latter, through the Pope, endea- vored to influence the Imperial Privy Council to give out a judgment: favor- able to the Catholic minority of Mani- toba in the school case. He has been vain enough to boast.that he succeeded, and certainly the circumstances warrant his conclusion. His Grace of Kingston, following the example of his brother of Three Rivers, has written a letter to the Ministerof Justice, evidently with the object of securing a commutation of the sentence of Murderer Shortis, and he also seems to have had success. It is simply intolerable that in a Protest- ant country the word of a priest is superior to the judgment of the courts. There has been no pretence that Shortis did not get a fair trial. The meddling archbishop could not. argue that, so he l pours out his wrath on the eminent Q. C. whose unpleasant duty it was to convict the man of murder. Surely it is time for the people of Canada to put down their foot on Papal interference with the course of justice, and declare in unmistakable terms that Canada is to be governed by Canadians and not by the priestsâ€"film'onto News. Probably a Newspaper Fake. LONDON, Feb. 15.â€"All whose opin- ion is of any value strongly discredit the report from Irkutsk that Dr. Nansen has discovered the North Pole. Mr. Clements R. Markham. president of the Royal GeOgraphical Society, treats the story as an amusing canard, saying that if Dr. Nansen had been able to send a messenger he would have come himself, , or, at all events, would have sent some message to his agents and friends. Mr. J. Scott Kcltic, who is Dr. Nansen's London agent, says: " I should have been the first to l'CCL‘lVC a message from him if the news were true. Rumors of a similar kind and from similar sources have reached this country more than once before. If the story were true it would indicate that Dr. Nansen had not accomplished his object in the way he intended, which was to drift across .the polar regions and emerge on the According to the report he must have returned the same way he went."

Guawed The Corps; & AWFUL TALE OF THE SEA. CARRABELE, Fla, Fun. 15.â€"-A bout containing five corpses and six men barely alive was drifted ashore on Dog Island. When discovered by two fisherâ€" men the snrvivers were lying uncou- scious on the decomposing corpses of their companions. The living were revived and Gilbert Holmes, who was strongest, related a story of awful suf- fering. Last week the eleven left Key West on a smack to fish in the West Coast. When two days out the smack was wrecked, the men escaping in a boat without food, water or clothing. Three days after the wreck one man died, and one after another four others succumbed. rI‘he survivors were too weak to throw their dead comrades into the sea, and the corpses. remained in the boa t. For the last two davsllolmcs was the only one of the livnl; ,Who remained conscious, and he does not remember all that. happened. The scene at the boat was horrible, The living and the dead, without a rag of clothes, were tumbled together. The corpses seemed to be gnawed in places, and the fishermen suggested that. in desperation the survivorstried to sus- tain life on the flesh of their dead com- panions. W.~.â€".... . Our Fortifications. â€"â€"_.. The only fortifications of any account in Canada are at Halifax and Esqui- malt. The fortifications at Esquimalt, which will be completed very shortly, are to the Pacific what; the Halifax fortifications are to the Atlantic. Be- sides these fortifications, there is an immense dry dock which can accomo- date the largest cruiser in the Pacific Coast fleet. The water is pumped into the dry dock and out again by steam, and it has been filled and emptied in four and a half hours. There is also a fine harbor in which the cruisers could find ample protection, should they re- quire such. Another good feature in connection with this Pacific Coast sta- tion is that in case the fleet should run short of coal, they could get as much as ‘they required from the mines at; Nanaimo, which are but a short distance from Esquimalt. The coal used by the fleet at present is anthracite and is brought from English mines. Anthra- cite coal gives forth practically no smoke, and a vessel using it could creep up on an enemy very easily, but bituminous coal, which is not from the mines at Nanaimo, yields very heavy, black smoke, and any vessel using it would give warning of its approach long before it would be in sight. of the enemy, but in case of an emergency thc bituminous coal would, no doubt, be used. At Quebec there are three forts, which only require to be armed to be effective. Should occasion require, Canada could very easily put in the field l,()U(),00fl men armed, as already stated. To be prepared for any emergency, 0. large number of Maxim quick-firingguus should be possessed. With such a force, and with such arms, fighting in their own country, who could say that Canada oou'd not defend herself, even against; five times the number of troops she could put in the field. Guillotined Himself. PARIS. Feb. l5.â€"M. Dcparcleux, a tailor, of Saint Pierre la l’nlud. near Lyons. who disappeared from his house several days ago, has been found guillo- tincd in his cellar. He had chosen this strange means of committing suicide. According: to the Marin the deceased was stretched on his back with his arms crossed. Ills head had rolled into a sack placed in position to receive it. ll. Depnrcicux had made the guillotine himself. and for some time had been haunted with the idea of' a stranuc form of committing suicide. The machine was almost identical with that used for the purposes ofjustice. The blade was formed by means of a large hatchet. By the side of the body Was an extin- guished lamp, and from Deparcieux's position it was evident that he wished to see the knife fall upon him when he pulled the string which released it from its place. This extraordinary suicide. has caused a great smsitinn in the dis- trict, where the deceased was well known. Sir Gilbert King. BJI‘I.. who died recently in England, held his baronch for seventy years, having succeeded his father at 13 years of' age. r l
