Pau«l Away at Copenhagen After a Long Iiness, A despatch from Copenhagen says: â€"Queen Louise of Penmark died on Thursday morning. The Qusen had been dangerouslylill for several months, but an effort had been made to keep the condition of the royal sufferer from the ‘ public. Her daughter, the Princess of Wales, was summoned to Denmark in haste a few weeks ago. The end of the Queen of Denmark was peaceful. At her bedside were the King of Denmark, the Dowager Empress of Russia, the King and Queen of Greece, the Princess of Wales, the Duke and Duch»«ss of Cumberland, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess of Denmark, and all the other members of the royal family. sOMETHING OF HER LIFE. Queen Louise of Denmark was born on Eeptember 7, 1817. She was a daughâ€" ter of Landgrave Wilhelm, of Hesseâ€" Cassel, and was married on May 26th, 18i2, to Christian, fourth son of the late Duke Wilhelm of Schleswigâ€"Holsteinâ€" Sonderburgâ€"Glucksburg. Christian was appointed to the succession of the Crown of Denmark by the treaty of London of May 8, 1852, and by the Danâ€" isb law of succession of July 31, i1853. He succeeded to the throne as Chrisâ€" tian 11. on the death of King Frederick ViI., on November 15, 1863. _ For the last thirty years of her life the Queen exercised such influence on the politics of Europe that she was sometimes called the motherâ€"inâ€"law of the Continent. Another title which was sometimes given her was the "Royal matchâ€"maker." Tha children of King Christian and Queen Louise are Prince Frederick, the heirâ€"apparent, born June 8, 1843, who married Princess Louisa, daughter of King Carl VI. of Sweden and Norway; Princess Alexandra, born December 1, 1814, who was married March 10, 1863, to the Prince of Wales; Prince Wilâ€" helm, born December 24, 1845, elected King of the Hellenes, under the title of George I., by the Greek National Asâ€" sembly in 1863, and who married Olga Constantinowna, â€" Grand Duchess of Russia, in 1967; Princess Marie Dagâ€" mar (Empress Maria _ Feodorovna), born November 26, 1847; sha was marâ€" tied November 9, 1866 to Alexander III., the late Emperor of Russia; Prinâ€" cess Thyra, born Sept. 29,.1853, who was married (December 21, 1878, to Prince Ernest August, Duke of Cumâ€" berland, and Prince Waldemar, born October 27th, 1853, who married in 1885 the Princess Marie d‘Orleans, eldest daughter of the Duc de Chartres.

In conclusion, Lord Charles urged Great Britain to take a firmer and more definite attiâ€" tude in regard to China. BERESFORD ON THE EAST. QUEEN LOUISE IS DEAD. Zxcept Quebec and Perk aps British Colum biaâ€"Great â€" Change of Sentiment in éntario. The returns of the vote cast in the plebiscite taken on Thursday â€" last throughout Canada are still incomâ€" plete, but it would appear that every province in the Dominion has pronountâ€" C rueg i suir ue y nani EC To U colecce sB ed in favor of prohibition with the exâ€" ception of Quebec, and, perbaps, Briâ€" tish Columbia. In Quebec the sentiâ€" ment was overwbelmingly adverse to the principle, the large majority of 30,â€" ALL 000 being recorded ajgainst it. British Columbia also seems to bave spoken against prohibition. Ontario Nova Scotia . . New Brunswick . . Prince Edward . . Manitoba . & % British Columbia Total Majority for Piohibition in Do« minion 17,929â€"many Returns still inâ€" complete. The Maritime Provinces are true to their record in voting for the abolition of the liquor traffic. They have alâ€" ways favored restrictive legislation, and it was a foregone conclusion that they would give majorities for prohibiâ€" tion. Ontario has also declared against the importation, manufacture, and salé of intoxicating liquor. The sentiment was strongest in the rural districts, in the large centres of population â€"the feeling was mot favourable to prohibiâ€" tion, every city in Ontario giving a majority against it excepting Brantâ€" ford. Manitoba followed in the same course as Ontario and the Lower Proâ€" vinces, and endorsed the proposition. The vote in Toronto shows a _ reâ€" markable change in sentiment. _ In January, 1894, when the provincial plebiscite was taken Toronto gave a majority of 2,500 in support of prohibiâ€" tion. On Thursday the vole was enâ€" tirely reversed, and the : people proâ€" nounced against the principle by a maâ€" jority of 3,700, the aggregate vote beâ€" ing larger than on the previous .occaâ€" sion. In other cities throughout the province a similar reversal of opinion Llook place. Thursday was the first time a vote om prohibition was taken in the Proâ€" vinces of â€" Quebec and New Brunswick. The former province spoke with no uncertain sound, the city of Montreal contributing an â€" adverse: majority of over 12,000. It is noteworthy that in every province where a plebiscite had previously been taken the majority for prohibition was reduced. The vote in Ontario was very close, evidencing that since 1894 there has been a most reâ€" markable change in popular feeling. The smallness of Thursday‘s . vote for prohibitien in Ontario is attributed by some to the fact that women did not vote, while at the plebiscite in 1894, which was held. at the same time as the municipal elections, they were allowed to poll their ballots. The abâ€" sence of women from the polls does not however, furnish a satisfactory explanâ€" ation of the reduced prohibition maâ€" jority, as the total number of the votes polled by women in 1894 was but a very small proportion of the whole.

FIVE KILLED IN A WREOL, A Special and a Coal Train Collide on the PFicton Branch This Morningâ€"Names of the Deadâ€"A Namber Injured. A despatch from Stellarton, N. S., says:â€"A collision occurred ntar there on the Pirtou branch of the Intercolâ€" onial railway on Wednesday morning, five men being killed. The disaster was caused by a misâ€" understanding of orders, which has not yet been explained. A special from Tatamagouche under Conductor A. R. McLeod, met a coal train in charge of Conductor W. Gordon, at a point between â€" WestSille and â€" Stellarton, known as Adam‘s cut. The killed include one passenger who was on the special, and the engincers and firemen on each train. They are: Jas. Sproul, engineer; Michael O‘Brien engineer; W. G. Henderson, fireman;J. R. McKenzie, fireman, and a passenâ€" ger named Cameron, from Scotch Hill. were seriously injured and a number slightly injured. One of the twobadâ€" ly hurt is John McMillan, of Pictou. The special was an excursion train of seven cars, crowded with people bound for Halifax to the Provincial Fair. The other train was going to Westville with about sixty miners, who were on their way to work the Acadia Colliery, The collision occurred at a sharp curve, and the two trains, which were running at high speed, came toâ€" gether without warning. The four men on the locomotives were killed outâ€" right, and their badly mangled bodies were found in the debris. Martin Mcâ€" Donald, of Lyons Brook, a passenger, who was on the car next to theenâ€" gine of the special, was also killed. The front half of this car was comâ€" pletely demolished. One of the miners had his jaw broken. Wrecking trains and doctors are at the scene. that there were not more killed, as the accident occurred in one of the most dangerous places on the Pictou branch. The men in the cabs had probably no time to jump to save their lives, and if they did, they were instantly buried in the wreckage, which piled high by the sides of the fatal blind curve. Their bodies were found among the debris of the wreck, mangled and lacerated alâ€" most beyond recognition. The news of the terrible accident was soon comâ€" municated to Stellarton, and thence spread quickly to the other towns and surrounding country. 4 Conferred. A despatch from London, says:â€"At a meéting of the Common Council of London at the Guildhall it was resolyvâ€" ed to confer the freedom of the city upon Majorâ€"General Sir Herbert Kitâ€" chener, and also to present him with & sword of honour.

BH1~ OMDURMAN WILL PROBABLY BE LEVELLED TO THE GROUND. ts CHIEF WIFE CAPTORE) Trade Follows the Flagâ€"Scores of Traders and Thousunds of Tous of Merchandise Reach Khartonm. A despatch from Omdurman, says:â€" The Camel corps which accompanied the expedition to fetch the Khalifa‘s camels captured Abdullah‘s principal wife, the mother of his eldest son, & fine old lady, bhis partner and adviser from the days of obscurity before the Mahdi till now. It is to be hoped that the remnmants of the Baggara now in Omdurman wil be deported in the interests of the more inoffensive inbabitants. To permit these reprobates, accustomed for years to exercise their gross and versatile wickedness, to remain hbhere would be equivalent to pulling down the walls of Broadmoor. In any case, both polâ€" icy and bealth cry aloud for the utter demolition of Omdurman, doomed by its limestone subsoil to perpetual arid infertility, and for the transfer of the town to Khartoum. Bo confident was the Khalifa of vicâ€" tory that a few days before the fight he ordered a quantity of red bricks to be brought across from Khartoum to build himself a new palace. ASTONISHING RECOVERIES. Bome of the most astonishing recovâ€" eries from wounds which would kill any European within an hour have taken place among the dervishes. On the battlefield, three days after the fight, was a grayâ€"headed dervish with a shattered leg, who when first reâ€" lieved drank six quarts of water and ate biscuits beartily, and is now doing A strange sight was seen in the Souâ€" danese camp the day after the victory. Some thousands or the dervish prisonâ€" ers were sitting in rows on the ground waiting their turn to be examined by the doctor as to their fitness to serve in the Egyptian army. About 40 per cent. were found sound, and immediate= ly enlisted. * * 8SIRDAR‘S LETTER TO KHALIFA. It is deeply interesting to know that in the cause of bumanity the Sirdar sent a letter to the Khalifa three days before the bombardment, advising him to withdraw all the women and chilâ€" dren from Omdurman to a place of safety. Apparently . the Khalifa was so confident of success that he treated the message with scorn. No sympathy must be felt for these fiends incarnate. â€" Dervish wanderers about the battiefieia nave already disâ€" interred and mutuated our dead. It the Sirdar errs at ail it is on the side of leniency, + TRADE FOLLOWS THE FLAG. Although so {far from the usual run of civilization, Khartoum already preâ€" sents a somewhat different appearance to that which greeted the victors on their entry into the city.© Three wellâ€" known English, two German, two Belâ€" gian, and one Fremcua irader are alâ€" ready well near to the front ,with a total of over 300 tons of merchandise.

A despaich to the Cologne Gazette from St. Petersburg says it is regardâ€" ed as possible, in the iight of recent information, that not only the French expedition under Marchand, but a force of Abyssinian troops, is at Fashoda. It is expected that King Menelek will refuse to relinquish his old claim, to thes Nile border of his empire, and acâ€" cordingly may plant his flag and as semble a considerable force opposite Fashoda.
