HALIFAx, Sept. 7.â€"-News from Jamaica by the mail steamer Alpha gives the result of the civil investigation into the Cause of the killing of Sergt. White, brief details of which were published in the Empire some time since. A deplorable condition of i afairs is shown to exist among the British 1 troops stationed in Jamaica. Refused lave to see his family or permission to make complaints to his captain, Sergt. White declined to do duty, and was placed urder arrest by Sergt.-Major Hodgkinson. He broke away from arrest, and, armed with 56 rounds of ammunition, took pos- sessionZof the Apostles battery, and refused a, surrender to Captain Norris and Sergt.- Major Hodgkinson, the latter, it is alleged, being a. tyrant and the cause of much tmuble among the men. A number of soldiers on duty at the battery appear to have joined White in mutiny. Captain ‘ Norris ordered Corporal Allen, with eight armed men. to arrest White. They pro- ceeded to within 500 yards of the battery, but declined to advance further on the pretence that White threatened to shoot them. The truth appeared to be that all the men at the battery were in a state of mutiny and were sympathized with by the men ordered to arrest them, who conse- nInnHV refused to act. Finding Corporal q’ ently refused to act. Findmg Uorporm olen’s escort panic-stricken, Capt. Norris obtained twenty men from another fort, dtavided them into two parties, and the mutineers were attacked from front and rear. Dusk had set in, which enabled bbth sides to get good shelter from the flfing bullets. A REGULAR BATTLE ENSUED, a d firing lasted half an hour. A shot f' am the b uttery struck Corporal Dawson ‘ o the attacking party. Finally Sergt.- ajor Hadgkinson sent a bullet through tle heart. of his enemy. Sergt. White fell back dead and firing ceased. This was a our 8 o’cmck, but it appears that Capt. gurrls and his party did not enter the. ttery until three hours later.

The passage of the McKinley Bill, if it likely to bring about some- does pass, is what of the same kind of revolution in the 1 egg trade that the repeal of the reciprocity g treaty in 1866 caused in the cheese trade, - says the Ottawa Citizen. _ While we had ‘ free trade in cheese with the United States . they were our best customers for cheese, which was not remarkable for its good quality. With the repeal of the treaty came the necessity of finding another mar- ket. Our dairymen’s eyes turned naturâ€" ally to Great Britain. But Great Britain did not want the kind of cheese we were making. Our Deirymen naturally pro- ceeded to make better cheese, with the result that Canadian cheese has practlcally drivenAmerican cheese from the English U 1ts own market and is creditably holding against best ‘ English makes ; while the volume of our cheese trade has enormously increased. So it will be with eggs. Last year we exported 168,345,636 eggs, valued at $2,159,510, of which 168,132,204, valued at $2,156,722, went to the United States. Our'imports were 7,832,976 eggs 'valued at $62,762, of which 7,598,352, valued at $91,172, came from the United States. Our experts to Great Britain amounted 10 96 dozen, valued at $18 ; and we importel from that country 14 dozen, I. valued at $29, ' “luv“ H There is no doubt that the dutv pro- posed by the McKinley bill will have the effect of greatly reducing our exports of eggs to the United States. It will not stop the trade altogether, however, nor will it prevent our hens from laying. The Americans will still eat eggs, and the hens will still lay, in deSpite of the McKinley bill. What remains for us to do is to‘ find 9. new, market for our surplus eggs ; and, fotunately, the market is neither far nor hard to seek. As already stated, the iexport of eggs to Graat Britain last year was limited to 96 dozen. Already this year it is many times that amount. ‘ When the McKinley bill was introduced a. Cana- dian cheese shiQper h pened to be in Ina-infill. and thmklnzge 38W 8 chance ”amp and tlfiiking for a good thing in eggs, he made an ar- rangement with a prominent commission house for direct shipment of eggs. On his return to Canada he shipped a few cases, and the result has been so satisfac- tory. both as regards price and condition in which the eggs arrived. that he is now buyingr all the eggs he can for shipment to Great Britain, and his example will doubt- l less be soon followed by others. The be- ginning is small ; but it is foolish to de- spise small things. LThe first shipment of cattle to Great Britain, barely 15 years ago, was only about ascore. The shipments this year will probably reach 100,000 head. The demand for eggs in Great Britain is al- most unlimited, and as there is no diffi- culty in keeping eggs for months in good condition, there is every reason to believe that Canada will be able to find a good paying market in Great Britain for every egg kept out of the American market by ' the McKinley bill, and more too, if we . have them to sell.
