"' NO CHARGE FO R EXAMINATION. HERBERT BBALL, Honor ra duate Optician, WITH Gail. Beall, WATCHMAKER. LINDSAY’S OPTICAL STORE. Preparingwto iiiiliiiéiiangianiif A London despatch of Feb. 4th says that an alleged interview with the French Minister of Marine, M. Lock- roy, has created considerable stir in some quarters in London, as it is held to show that France has in nowise buried the hatchet. but is determined to attack Great Britain at the first topportunity. These French menaces seem to accord with confidential infor- mation to the eii'ect that military and naval circles here are convinced that France means war. Secret advices, it appears, have been received at the British War Ofiico showing that the French authorities are noiselessly pre- paring i'or the struggle. In fact, it is even said the Napoleonic idoaol' an in- vasion of Great Britain is revolving in the minds of the French military auth- orities, and at the present moment a gradual but silent movement of troops is said to be proceeding toward the northeastern coast of France, where in two months’ time, it is assist-ted. about 150,000 ncn will be concentrated. The British war authorities are determined not to wait France’s convenience, but. to call her hand, as they did in the Fash- oda incident, and will declare that they regard this concentration of troops as an act of war. In the meantime, the British navy is paying the greatest at- tention to gunnery. The channel squad- ron this week has been engaged every morning in firing practice at moving noted. - lmputing Methods to Mr. Sifton. inns themselves, and not daring to con- sure the Government for bringing them into the country, the Telegram affects to believe that M r. Sii'ton has concocted a deep plot to hive the foreigners and thereby locate in the Northwest a solid colony of voters upon whom he can rely at an election. The Telcqrrim's wor- ship oi‘ the untamed terror of the West, Mr. Martin, and its jealous hatred of the less offensive man whom Sir Wilfrid preferred, Mr. Sil'ton, is loading that journal into hysterical nonsense. Ot' course it was a crime for Mr. Sil'ton to corral these immigrants for Canada. And oi'course. having captured them, he should have ruthlessly disbanded and distributed them all over this hull of the continent. Of course he should 0 iuzida and the country‘s good be butt:- edl Sifton must triumph, no matter who is sacrificed. This is the Teln- grnm‘s view S:riously, does not the Tclcqraiit see that its hatred nl‘ )Ir. Sil- ton is leading it to extremes? Is it not possible that Mr Sil‘ton can have. some good motives. and that in placing the persecuted. downtrodden Galicians together in three or four Colonies, alter. outing with other races, he is disposing of them in the only way which will on- able them to preserve their spirits and make them contented, happy people ?â€" Toronto Star. a Q- oâ€" _-_...__ .- Wliisky in a Mail Car. A protest was lodged against the elec- tion of Win. J. Allen, the Conservative member for North Hastings. The ex- traordinary charges are : I That J. P. Whitney, M. P. 1’., ll. Corby, M. P., M. B. Morrison, )1. l’. 1)., and W. B. Northrup, )I. 1).. during the campaign “did in the mail car on the train on the Central Ontario Rail- way and at the stations, and by other persons, agents of Win. John Allen, supply large quantities of whisky and other intoxicating liquor to meetings of electors assembled to promote the elec- tion of the said William John Allen, and to other persons at other times, voters in said electoral district. “ That Mr. Allen himself had in his possession in his conveyance and in the possession of his agents, large quantities of whisky and other intoxicating liquor, which were carried From place to place and were used when canvnsdng. “ That shortly prior to said election and on the election day the St. Anthony Lumber 00., of which Edward C. Whit- ney is President, and of which J. 1’. Whitney is a shareholder, by their fore- men, agents and servants, did make use of' restraint, and did by threat of dis- missal From the company's employ and of' other injury, harm, damage or loss. prevent and hinder the employees of the said company who were opposed to said William John Allen from voting at said election. “ That at the polling station at Bridgewater. W. R Miller, the deputy returning oliiccr, Frank J. Thompson, the reeve, and Dr. Harper of Mailoc, did conspire to prevent voters from vot- ing by the pretene‘. that the voters were ill with diphtheria, and that for that. reason they were debarrcd from voting." o-.- . - Mr. Fisher as a Farmer. A correspondent of the Globe writes From Richmond, in the eastern town- ships of Quebec :â€" “ The other day I read the strange, sneeriug article in the Mail on lion.
