for a Joint Commission to be appointed to discuss and dispose of as- far as their recommendations can do so all tho subjects that been the topic of diplomatic corres pondence and of international differ between the two countries save and except only that of the trade relations We further informed that Louis Davies has also suc ceeded in arranging for this Joint Commission to hold its sessions in the Ancient Cif of Quebec which fact is said to be specially gratifying to Premier as he is the parlia mentary representative of that con stituency- and the fact will likewise be a source of gratification to Cana dians to know that a city of the Dom inion has been selected for diplomatic conference The Toronto organ of the Govern ment states that but one detail re mains unsettled viz the number of the personnel of Commission It appears the United States authorities desire that it shall comprise five re presentatives from each country the British and Canadian delegates believe three from each side will be quite sufficient This question was finally referred to the Imperial Government to determine The date when the Commissioners will enter upon its duties has not yet been definitely settled but will be fix ed when the personnel of Com mission is announced It will be gratifying to people of both the United States and Canada to know that all matters of difference between

Canada in I860 In 1850 he began his po litical by entering the municipal couuoil of the Town of and was first elected to Parliament in Mr Cameron belongs to the advanced Liberal politically and to judge of bis fit ness for the position he has been called to fill by his past history in he should make an efficient and economical executive By a special to the Globe from Faith Fenton who accompanied the Yukon force sent out by the Ottawa Government under date of via Vic toria May we learn that the Yukon Mounted Police force reached Glenora on May all well She We were four days on the

a century and never been Recouped in any way The once something by way of constructing the York but taxed the county ever after for their use by toll- gates till the county bought them off We now think it is time the government a new post office instead of payiug rent to one to Akd now the last hope of those Hon Senators who thought they could discredit the Government without injuring the Yukon trade of the country by defeat- the Administration and who the action of the Legislature of British Columbia would save them from reproach They now grieve to learn that owing to the failure of arrangements at Ottawa Messrs Mackenzie and Mann have notified the British Colombia Government that they cannot carry out their railway agreement with that Province The Sen ate have thus for a purpose con tributed towards driving trade of the Yu kon from Ontario channels to the United States Tub have a newly developed swindler operating over in the State of New York who swindles the right and left Possibly the same speoles of the genus homo may find his way along the con cession- lines of Ontario and we therefore forewarn parties by this notice It appears they go through the country representing that they have State authority to examine wells of water Of coarse they inspect through a and find all kinds of cholera and typhoid germs and permit Mr Farmer to look through the microscope where naturally enough he sees the menagerie that always will be found in a drop of water The frightened farmer is advised to apply cer tain remedies which the fakir sella at a high This remedy is a little plain soda Now in Ontario our people have no reason to be swindled by these travelling geniuses as every municipality has its own Board of Health whoso au thority alone they only

defending the harbor at oclock yesterday afternoon so as to deprive Admiral Cerveras fleet of their protection in preparation for an at tack The American fleet contained fourteen Owing to the height of the hill upon which Mono Castle is situated it was impossible for the Americans to shell the fort from a close position as the guns could not be sufficiently elevated to do any damage The warships mounting heavy rifles therefore stood off shore they had deeper water in to manoeuvre and could pour in a fire while the small veasela went inshore and attack ed the sand and mortar batteries on the shore beneath Morro the larger vessels passed to and fro before the harbor mouth pouring a storm of shot upon the walls of the castle Some of the shells went clear over alighting in the Estrella point battery beyond and some fell in Port and other fortifications on the same side of tho entrance The firing was directed chiefly against the fort of La on the opposite side of the entrance and against some distance within the entrance but which could be reached by straight fire from the sea The forts replied bravely but with out doing much damage During the bombardment a num ber of troops were hastily- from the city gives the im pression that the Spanish losses in the batteries must have been heavy and more men needed to man the guns The despatoh adds that the Ameri cans were obliged to retire after the battle had lasted about two hours The bombardment caused great ex- in Santiago and the Spanish residents notwithstanding the boast of their military protectors began to express fears that the Americans would soon be in possession of the city Many men whoso sympathies are with the rebels started for the in surgent lines which are but a short distance from the town being desir ous
