The repart which The Globe publish- cd from Ottawa the other day as to the negotiations for the settlement. of the school question is a substantially accuo rate report. It was not stated there that the matter had been actually set- tled. It was declared that “ everything now points to a speedy and satisfactory settlement of the school question.” That is true. It was said that there would be no necessity for remedial legislation. That is true. It was said that “before long the whole thing would be removed from the political arena in a statesman- like way." That is true. All these statements are in accord with the hope expressed in the speech from the throne, and in Sir Oliver Mowet’s remarks in the Senate. He declared that negotia- tions had been going on between the Manitoba Ministers-'8. fact which is beyond all doubtâ€"and that an amica- ble understanding had been reached, which all the circumstances go to show is highly probable. The conference is over; nobody is heard to whisper that it is a failure. Mr. Siftcn is evidently well satisfied. He says :â€" “I have been here for some days with my colleagues, Messrs. Watson and Cameron, and have been in confer- ence with Mr. Laurier with a view to an amicable settlement of the Manitoba school question. The conference was for the purpose of arriving at each oth- er’s viewa in respect to a basis of settle- ment. I am not in a position to say more than that the views which have been expressed by Mr. Laurier upon the subject are such that I believe that when I return to Manitoba and lay them before Mr. Greenwny and my oth- er collcngues there is reason to hope that a satisfactory basis of settlement will be reached. At least. I return to the west feeling that much has been done towards bringing about an under- standing." Does anyone suppose that Mr. Sifton would hold this language if the negoti- ations had failed. or if he and his enl- longues had been fire-3d to surrendcr their position on the school question? Does any man in his senses suppose that they would go to the Manitoba Legislature or to the people of Maui- toba with a proposal for surrender? No; everything points to the probabil- ity that the conference was a success and that the settlement will be one in which the National School system of Manitoba will be upheldâ€"Globe. o A Mining Commission. The Dominion Government would do good to itself and protect the public if it. appointed a committee of expert miners with a secretary thoroughly well versed in legal and commercial matters, that the mines and mining schemes of British Columbia might be properly re- ported upon. Il'even a small percent- age of the reports are true, which reach us from British Columbia, of the hubâ€" ble schemes intended to cutrnp the un- wary. the Government should protect the public from its own cupidity and ignorance. Some of the schemes are good and some of the mines are real, and these should be protected from the bad ones. British Columbia should be saved from having its good name des- troyod by preposterous companies, that apparently do not intend to develop mines. but are intended to enrich a few scheming share-holders. In Ottawa the other dav I was assured by the mem- bers of Parliament from British Colum- bin that the capitalists and been fiile miners of that province contemplate with the greatest possible alarm the re- sult. of the wild-carting which is being attempted in Toronto and Montreal, and which is spreading to the smaller cities. Something should be done im- mediately, and The Star is not pursu- ing its present course in any vindictive spirit, but only with a desire to call at- tention to what threatens to be a very great evilâ€"S. in Toronto Star. ..-...“- A 0...... Tent Wrecked. CHICAGO, Aug. 23.â€" Despntehes from points in Arkansas and Ohio report se- vere storms last night, accompanied by much destruction of property by light- ning and some fatalities. Telegraphic communicatim is very much impaired, 0., were killed by lightnino. At Ho- bart, Ind, the dwelling of a man named Smith was demolished by lightning. and the entire family of three persons killed. At Huntingdon, Ind., Wallace's show tents were wrecked by the storm at 6.30 last evening. The horses and.meuage- rie stampeded and much property was ruined. The elephants caused a panic. A motor bicycle recently tested in London made a mile in 58 seconds. A package containing $6,000 and other money of the C. P. R. was stolen from the Joliette station some time on Friday night or Saturday mornina. In the storm of Saturday night seven horses were killed on the Sayer farm on the fifth concession of West Flam- boro.’ One of tke horses killed was said to be worth 81,500. Li Hung Chang embarked upon the steamer St. Louis at Southampton for New York on Saturday. So many poo pl-: came to see the distinguished visitor off that he held a levee in the drawing- room of the steamer. A despatcli to The Central News, London, from Buluwayo confirms the report that the principal Matabele chiefs have surrendered to the British forces, and it is believed in England that the war is ended. A terrible accident occurred on Parry Island on the afternoon of tho 20th. It appears that a number of men were blasting in the rock out near Rose Point, and in putting in a heavy charge of dynamite they had occasion to pound it down, when it exploded. Two of the men, Jim Smith and the foreman, Ar- thur Hillman, were killed, the latter having his arms blown off and his leg shattered. John Olsen, who was one of the gang, was badly injured. The Natural History exhibit at the Exhibition is always one of the best drawing cards of Toronto's big Indus trial Fair. This year it is going to eclipse every effort of previous years, and the superintendent, Mr. James No- blc. is completing a fine collection of exhibits. Sixteen pens of live pheas- ants and fancy ducks and a fawn a year old will be in the building. The snakes will be out. in full force, and the fish exhibit will be complete. Special attention will be paid to trout, and a moch of a trout ” farm" will be pro. vided for intending fish cullivators. Eugene Paul Brand has just submit- ted a fearful weapon to the German Minister of War. It puts all inventions in the shape of death-dealing instru- ments in the shade. The Brand con- trivaucc is a gun, which is not loaded with powder, but with compressed gas. A single chirge will suffice for 2,500 shots. and volleys of fifty shots each can be fired in rapid succession. This Brand-new invention is one of the nu- merous and improved methods of kill- ing people that advanced civilization is now demanding. His activity in des- troying human life will doubtless win for him a monument. Oscar Wammock met his death in a horrible manner near Blufi'ton, Ohio, on Saturday night. He was digging in an oil well, which unexpectedly began to spout oil, and his clothing was com- pletely saturated with it. As he start- ed to run from the derrick the gas from the well ignited from the fire under the boiler, and he was enveloped in a sheet of flame. He continued to run until his clothing was nearly all burned off him, when he fell, and he died a short time later. The derrick and surround- ing buildings were all consumed. The well spouted oil higher than the tree tops. making a pillar of fire visible for miles around. Last Sunday Mrs. Hubble, wife of a farmer living near Deer river. in Chan- dos township, and her two daughters went to the river to bathe. One of the daughters was “ teetering" on a board, which overhung the river, and slipped in. The mother plunged to the rescue, and immediately the other daughter swam to her mother’s assistance. The mother and daughter became exhaust- ed. and the mother, fearing her weight would drown the other swimmer, push- ed her nwny, and, bidding her good- bye, sunk to her death. The girl whom the mother was trying to save was also drowned. The bodies were recovered Sunday evening in 20 feet. of water. Frank Jacobs of Cincinnati, 11 bal~ The Penetsnguisheue Herald says that the storm on Wednesday of last week did considerable damage south of that village. .Vlr. ‘iYELiiam Russell of Medonte was just building a new barn, and had it. ttblUl. completed when the storm struck it and broke it ail to pieces. The barn was built on cedar posts, and the wind caught it right and turned it upside down, smashing nearly every stick of timber in the building. BIIITIâ€"I'S.
