Sir Wilfrid Will Vote in Ottawa-- An Old Resident Who Retains His Vigor--Capital Notes. Ottawa, May 25. While Canada making special efforts this yeat to se cure emigrants from tne united king dom, she is making equally strenuous efforts for the extension of markets for ber products. The dominion gov ernment has just closed arrangements with the five large Canadian lines Allsn, Elder Dempster, Thomson, Don aldson and Manchester--for the in stallation of an entirely new system of cold storage on their steamers. A new service is being opened up be tween Prince Edward Jiland and Man chester direct and from this connec: tion great results are anticipated. At the present time W. A. MacKinnon, chief of the fruit division of the de partment of agriculture, is in Man chester, and there he will remain through the summer, to find. out what it best suited for that market, and how Canadian agriculturists can best present it to the trade in Manchester At London, Liverpool, Manchester, Bristol and Glasgow, the Canadian government aow has a responsible of fiver to watch how all Canadian pro duets are handled on their discharge from the ship, and the condition in which they are landed. This first hand information will be used by the department in an educational cam paign among the farmers. Sir Wilfrid Laurier will return noon on Thursday in time to vote the provincial elections. Monday was the seventy first anni versary of the birth of Mrs. H. J. Friel, who has resided in Ottawa all her life, and was the first white child born in this city. She is the widow of 8. H.

Senator Clemow o'clock this morning, Senator Clemow rallied somewhat last night, but took a turn for the worse this morning and passed away with remarkable suddenness. Hon. Francis Clemow was a son of Capt. John Clemow, of HM, 41st regiment. He was born in May, 1521. He was educated at Upper Canada college, To- ronto, and in 1840 settled in Otiawa. He was a director of the Ottawa sleo- ric company and the Ottawa gas com- pany, and was prominently identified with the business affairs of the city. He was chairman of the Ottawa col logiate institute board for twenty-five years. He was grand master of the Orange lodge of Carleton county for cight years and was one of the stal wart supporters of the order in East- ern Ontario. In recognition of his eminent abilities he was called to the senate in 1885 and rapidly forged to the front as a man of sound judgment and practical ideas. Tn 1802 his abil ity was recognized in his appointment as chairman of the committer of the whole on the bill to codify the erimi nal laws of Canada. He was staunch conservative in politics and intensely imperialistic in sentiment. He married, in 1547, the daughter of the late Col. Powell, of H.

Montreal, May 28. Robert Meighen, president of. the Lake the Woods willing company, has just returned from a trip to the north-west and the Pacifi® coast, with faith stimulated the future of this great country saw settlers pouring in from all parts of the world; he noted numbers from the other of the line who had sold their lands, and who had de termived to become settlers in the great north-west, which offered such splendid opportunities for acquiring sn independence; he saw towns tending and improving; he witnessed the beginnings of new. wettlements, which would speedily become towns and he made the calculation that if the influx of population eontinued at this ratio which marked it at the present, the north-west in five years from the present date would be able to supply the British empire with all the wheat it needed In regard to the influx of settlers, Mr. Meichen rather that in many instances these were really Canadians who had for years in the western states who, finding that they lands at enhanced rates, had done and then bought lands in the north west equally fertile at about one third the price of those in the western states.

The Minority Refuse to be Recon- ciled. London, May There is a tinet set back this morning in the cont optimism concerning the con clusion of peade. Doth the cables from Pretoria, and political despatches dealing with the cabinet, concur in declaring that the questions raised by the Boer delegates constitute a grave difficulty that will possibly lead to the breaking up of the conference. A despatch from Pretoria, dated Tues day, refers to the irreconcilable mino rity. leadery, as opposing surrender unless they receive important assurances, which Jord Milner has been informed are impossible, The Daily Mail's Pretoria correspon- dent wove there is little cnce of sur render unless the leaders, who. have accepted the British terms, succeed in bringing pressure on of their colleagues. The delegates are still in | Pretoria, awaiting Great Britain's { final reply. It is stated in Londlon that a majority of the delegates at Vereniging probably include a ma jority in favor of peace, but if the minority is lage and determined enough, the majority will not detach themselves therefrom. The Standard says it understands that the delay in announcing the sult of the peace negotiations caused some disappointment. A report was current, last night, that a serious hitch had arisen. While there ix some difficulty on certain points, there no reason to think it an insuperable obstacle to peace. The Daily Telegraph notes that the tock exchange was disappointed by the dejay, but does not expect that it will exceed a few*days, b.R dis re rome re is SMUGGLED SEALSKINS.
