Retirement of Canada’s Auditor- Gonoral Announced. 111‘. andougall, Who Was Appointed to tho Non-Political Position in 1878, I!“ Had Frequent Collisions With tho ‘Govornment During the Post Your, nnd II Unwllling to Face minke In- volved in G.T.B. Deal. Ottawa, June 22.-â€"-’1‘he coming re- tirement announced yesterday of J. Lorne Macdougall, from the office of Auditorâ€"General, was not unexpectâ€" ed. It was the logical termination of the differences that have existed for a long, time between the Auditorâ€" General and the Government. The difficult over the Cornwall Canal lighting contract was only one of AUDITOR-GENERAL J. MACDOUGALL. many things that prompted Mr. Mac- (lougall’s resignation. He had ireâ€" quent collissions with the Govern- ment during the past year, and it is no secret that Mr. Macdougall would have resigned when the Government undertook to take his authority down a little, if he could have ob- talned favorable superannuation. The Government declined to grant him those superannuation privileges which have been accorded many oth- er officials, and Mr. Macdougall deâ€" cided to work out. the time necessary to secure the superannuation be deâ€" sired independent oi the powers which he had offended. G.T.P. Had Its Risks. The chief cause of Mr. Macdougall's resignation was an unwillingness to {ace the Grand Trunk Pacific Railâ€" In connection with this Work many millions of dollars will be spent under the direction of the Government. Mr. Macrlougnll realized that if he courageously dis- charged the duties of his oiiice in re- gard to these gigantic expenditures he would beaccused of blocking the enterprise and finally dismissed. If, on the other hand, he did not an- tagonize the. Government he knew that scandals would follow the con- struction of the Transcontinental Railway and he Would receive the blame. Rather than run the risk of retiring from office under a shadow J. Lorne: Macdougall has resigned, and the country loses one of its most capable and faithful officials. Wu Appointed in 1878. In April 1878 the law relating to the oiiice of Auditor-General was amended with the object of making the officer independent of political and departmental influence. In Aug- ust, 1878, just before the general election, Mr. Macdougall was appointâ€" cd by the Mackenzie Government to fill the oifice under the new Govern- ment. LO-RNE Prelontaine Will Enquire. The angry passions of Henri Bourâ€" assa, M.P., are once more aflanm. A British Consul somewhere down in' the Argentine Republic applied the torch by requiring the captain of a. Canadian ship to pull down his Cn- nadian flag _and hoist a British flat: in place. He demanded an inquiry, and this Hon. Raymond Prefontaine assured him would be made without delay. If the facts were as reported, and if there was any remedy the Minister of Marine promised that it should be applied. Election Act Amendment. Sir Wilfrid Laurier explained the nature of the proposed amendment. to the Election Act in the House yes- terday. He said the changes were of '0. véry light character, being nothing more than a technical correction of the New Brunswick Representation Act, and the application of the act to the constituencies of Algoma. illurâ€" rard, Yale and Cariboo, Segue-nay and Chicoutimi and Gaspe, when votâ€" ing takes place subsequent to the general elections. Some of these 1:.inâ€" stituencios have been sub-divided by the redistribution, and it; is then-- fore necessary to amend the election law to suit that now condit.inm;,. "And 'is the amendment'in i‘tmard' tothe Manitoba lists to be drop- ped?" asked E. F. Clarke. "It is not to be dropped. because it was not intended,” replied the Prime Minister. Prorogaflon By July 12. Another consideration that entered into the Cabinet’s decision was Ill!- well knOWn fact that the Opposition would obstruct the business of Lllt.’ House for two months if necessurv rather than allow the legislation to pass. The withdrawal of this portion oi the amendment to the election law means, therefore, that Parliament will prorogue within thirty days, probably by July 12. I It also means, according to Well- informed politicians, that. there will: be no elections this year. Right to Appeal. The bill amending the Exchequer Court Act was read a third time. It. was amended at Mr. Fitzpatz'ick'l suggestion to give the Crowu the: right of appeal from Exchequer Court judgment to the Supreme Court in all cases. The bill amending the Steamboat. Inspection Act was amended the inspection of gasoline an tha launches optional. The ins: may be required to make the ins, tion, but no compulsion is imposed on the owners.

Mnddoned By Her Screams, Seized a- Shotgun and Shot Bis Father-«A Northwest Farm Tragedy. Winnipeg, June 22,â€"A special deâ€" spatch from Saskatoon, N. w. T.,. says: A man of the name of Stewart, liv- ing at Eagle Creek, thirtyâ€"seven miles from here, has been shot. by his young son. A fatal dispute was the cause. The father in a fit of {ill-I gcr started beating his wife, and his son threatened to shoot him unless he desisted. Stewart took no hood, and the boy, maddencd by his mother's screams. grabbed his father’s shotâ€"gun from the rack on the wall and emptied the whole charge into him at the dis- tance of a. foot. Stewart died almost; at once. The neighbors brought word to the police, who have gone out to the scene oi the tragedy for the purpose of arresting the boy. An inquest; will be held immediate- ly on the. arrival of the coroner. â€"_.. THE SLOCUM lNQUEST. An Inspector Jailed For Refusing to Answer Questions. New York, June 22.â€"Evidencc (ta startling nature, which doubtless uitl have an important bearing on the» ultimate result of the coroners ll'l--‘ quiry into the Gen. Slocum disaster was forthcoming at the inquest yes- terday. . ' Perhaps the most unexpected inciâ€" dent was the continued refusal in answer qtuestions of Henry Lumiâ€" berg, a United States steamboat in» specter, who was supposed to have inspected the life-preservcrs and the hull of the ill-fated steamer. His reâ€" fusal was based on the ground that, an answer might tend to(incriminw,e him, and hencted on the advice at his counsel. The coroner committed Lundberg to the House oi Detention, but ac cepted $500 bail for his appearance at the hearing to-day, which' was satisfactory to the District. Attorney.
