LE BULLET. AND S ABRE French Government Is Facing a Serious Crisis. "A despatch from Paris says: * The news*ftom Southern France during Fri- night was mostly disquieting. are those who see or profess to an insurrection of dangerous' pro- portions already launched, but the facts, r so far as they have reached the capt- "Yai, do not justify such a deplorable con- clusion. ~ Wiis true that events' in the Midi have d4aken a much worse turn than seemed al first likely after the inilial measures > of the Government Wednesday morning, "when Ferroul, ex-Mayor of Narbonne, nd others were arrested, but up to the present writing there is not sufficient 'reason fer believing that the Govern- "ment is face to face with an armed in- Burrection. " It is. known, however, that seven deaths so far have resulted since Wed- "mesday at Narbonne. One of the vic- tims was a soldier, while two, father -@nd daughter, were killed in a cafe, the iron shutters of which were down. ~The rioters captured Special Commis- sary Dulest at Narbonne and are hold- ~ ing him as a hostage. All circulation. on sthe-streels is prohibited. *Ajdespatch to the Petit Parisien from '@Narbonne says the town hall square was the scene of A VERITABLE MASSACRE ~ at about 8 o'clock, re§aiting in six per- sons' being killed and)many wounded.

The rescuers Were astounded and turned to flee, when at least fifty shots were flred into the rescuers and the crowd following them. The military authorities at Narbonne ~ have taken the direction of everything. Troops occupy every street and square.

The crowd's hostility to the. cavalry began at the arrest of Ferroul, when the. cavalry roughly treated the crowd accompanying the ex-Mayor's carriage. Since then the hotels have declined to receive cavalry officers for meals.. The bulchers are ready to serve the infantry as usual, but will not sell to the cavalry. The feeling has become so strong that the military authorities are not using the cavalry, but are leaving all the work to the foot soldiers. = * Gen. Turcas upon leaving his hotel, stopped to-speak with some one on the pavement, He was immediately sur- reunded by a crowd which threatened to throw him into a nearby canal. The General gave his word of honor Shat. the cavalry should not go out, and he was allowed to leave. _ bas Among the victims in front of the town hall were 'three men and a girl aged 20 years, A despatch from Paris says: Like an électric shock the news ran through Paris about noon*on Friday that a mil- itary mutiny had been added to the serious developments.of the situation in the south, i7th Regiment of Infantry had body marched out of the barracks and joined: the peasantry was received ct first with incredulous amazement, and when soon after confirmed, with feel- ings akin to anguish. Before going the soldiers had pillaged the armory and carried away with them £00 cartridges each. At first the mutin- eérs declared they were going to Nar- boone to kill the cuirassiers who had charged the populace there, but finally {hey marched through the night, with drums and bugles playing al their head, fo Beziers, where the majority of them had been recruited. and where they ar- rived at 6 on Friday morning. All the officers remained at Aude. On ar- rival at Beziers the mutineers endeav- ored to turn the regiment which had replaced the Seventeenth out of bar- racks, but failing in this, they appar- ently came to realize the gravity ofthe] act there committed, amd proposed to return to nm condilion that no discipnafy measures were taken against them. Clemenceau sent an immediate reply that he accepted no conditions; and that bis colleagues in the Cabinet fully ap- was proved of his action. -- NOTED ATHLETE MEETS DEATH. "Hod" Steart, of Oltawa, Breaks His Neck Bathing at Belleville. A despatch [rom Belleville says: Wm. Hodgson Stuart, better known as "Hod" Stuart, the famous hockey player at Ottawa. met an untimely death in this city on Sunday afternoon between the hours of 2 and 3 o'clock. In company mith some companions he visited the wharf and decided to take a bath in the Way. After disrobing he dived off the wharf and swam to the lighthouse, a 'tistance of about 100 yards. His com- nions did not venture into the water. "Hod," after sitling upon the landing of the lighthouse for a few minules, . tlived off, and this was the last seen of +Kim alive. Not rising, an alarm was raised, and parties in a rowboat went Bo the lighthouse and in about three feet of water the unfortunate man was seen lying upon some rocks. As quickly fs possible, he was raised up and taken on shore, byl it was evident that life was extinct. Dr. Yeomans was soon yipon the scene, and upon examination Piscoverea that the victim in diving d stfuck his head upor the rocks, causing a fracture of the skul] and dis- -doeation-of the neck.

Conditions Are AppaHing in the Upper Ottawa Valley. 4 A despatch from Ottawa says: Mr. Colin Rankin, of Mattawa, who arrived in the city on Thursday, says the forest fires are appalling in the Upper Ottawa Valley. Some days the smoke is so dense as to darken the streets of Mal- tawa, although the fires are many miles away. Mr. Rankin tells of the great danger to Yife along the Montreal River. Reports have reached Mattawa of men having had very narrow escapes, sudden was the inroad of the flames on the timber regions. The lumbermen who own limits in the Temiskaming District will lose. enormously. The frolonged dry season had such an effect on timber that it is almost impossible to save it. The heavy rain of Wednesday night completely extinguished the bush fires which have been raging for the past week. up the Parry Sound line. The damage is nothing in comparison.to the great area over which the flres swept. Between Madawaska and Whitney, for a considerable distance on each side of tha railway track, the lightly wooded ground was burned clear. The heavy and valuable timber limits farther back from the right-of-way were practically untouched, the region destroyed being mainly that which had, been cut years before and is now springing Yp again in thick scrub. The St. AnthonySLumber Company, J. R. Booth and the G.T.R. have the rights to the territory swept. -_-- HALF MILE-OF LUMBER BURNED.

Aboul seventy men were killed or wounded. The mutiny was planned to coincide with a political strike, as a reply io the dissolution of Parliament, involv- ing the railroads, telegraphs and miails.

Thomas Shaughnessy, president of the Canadian 'Pacific Railway, says the company is considering the introduc- tion of electric engines in the Rocky Mountains. In an interview here on Wednesday. he said: "We have not yet definitely de- cided to place the electric locomolive anywhere along the line, but if we do install them soon, it will be at the points of*British Columbia, where the heavy grades are. The estimates from the tests so far made, show very little difference bejween electric and steam, with our present volume of traffic. The electric Jocémotive is slightly more ex- pensive, bul, ef course, with an increase ip traffic the difference would be in fuvor of the electric locomotive. I think we have a sufficient water supply to7 generate al] the power that we would need in the event of inaugurating the eiectric system." ° TEN YEARS FOR ARSON.
