It is Prorogued by the Governor-Gene- ral in an Effective Speech. Orrawa, Oxt., May 2.—This afternoon, at 3 o'clock, his excellency, the governor-general, proceeded in state to the parliament buildings, and the members of the house of commons having been summoned to the chamber of the senate his excellency was pleased to prorogue the third session of the fifth parlia- ment of the dominion of Canada the following speech: In relieving you of the ar- duous labors which the present session of par- liament has imposed on youl rejoice that Tam able to congratulate you on a number of important and useful measures whicti resulted from Pepe: deliberation. I have reason to hope that the authority which you have conferred on my government will enable them to conclude arrangements for effective steamship commu- nication with Europe and Asia, whereby the trade and commerce of Canada will be widely extended and the traftic passing over her lines of communication greatly developed. You have again made liberal provision for extending the railway facilities of the dominion, and for INCREASING THEIB EFFICIENCY. The act relating to the electoral franchise will, I believe, be found an important improve- ment, tending to economy, and certainly in the administration of that branch of the law. The measure by which the system of speedy trials for criminals has been extended to the mari- time provinces is likely to prove a valuable addition to our ctimiual procedure. It is gratifying to know that your address referring to the boundaries of Onterio will lead to the early settlement of the principal ques- tion, which has remained unsettled up to the resent time, between that province and the ominion in @ manner entirely satisfactéry to all concerned. The amendment of the laws relating to copy- right will, it is hoped, remove some of the embarrassments under which the printers and publishers of Canada have labored for some years past, without doing injustice to the authors of this or other countries. You have provided for greater efficiency and ECONOMY IN THE POSTAL SERVICE, for giving greater facilities for the settlement of our lands in the northwest and for inereas- ing the safeguards of life and property on our ships. Many of the other measures, although ot minor character, will be found of great usefulness in conducting the affairs of, the ad- ministration, In taking leave of you'T congratulate you on the indications of prosperity which appear in all parts of Canada, and on the increasing rev- enue which promises amply to meet the appro- priations for the year. L aincerely hope that in the season which is now opening the labors of our people may be blessed by Divine Provi- dence, and that when it shall be my duty to summon you again I shall be able to renew the congratulations which I have already expressed onthe marked welfare and progress of the Dominion, —.——_.

TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY KILLED Description of a Frightful Mob and Riot in Mexico. TWELVE THOUSAND MEN ENDEAVOR TO RESCUE FIVE JESUIT PRIESTS ARRESTED FOR IXcITING SEDITION—-ONLY A BAYONET CHARGE DISPERSES THE RIOTERS. Sr. Louis, Mo., May 2.—The following de- scription of the mob and riot which occurred at La Luz, near Guanajuata, Nexico, a few days ago, over the incarceration of five priests, who were stirring up the ig- norant people against the government is given bya prominent citizen of Guanajuato who reached Texas yesterday. It was nearly dark when the priests were imprisoned, but by the time the streets lamps were lighted 12,000 men roared and surged against the walls of the jail. They attacked its heavy doors with pick- axes, stones, crow-bars, and heavy beams of we and some of them in a wild frenzy dashed their bleeding hands and heads against the massive walls. MANY OF THEM WERE ARMED and in ashort while a heavy fire was pouring into the windows, The mayor of Guanajuato who was inside, was one of the first to fall, Policemen, who rushed Up in squads of two and three, were remorselessly butchered, and in ashort time more than twenty of them were lying dead on the pavement. A few scattered soldiers who were in town were treated in like manner. The mob, which by this time was utterly unmanagerable, either by the government or the priests who had in- cited it, now SET FIRE TO THE JAIL DOORS, but just as the inmates were about tosurrender 206 regular soldiers arrived on a double qtick and formed across the street. ‘The crowd answered the order to disperse with a yell anda discharge of fire-arms. Tho command to fire was at once given. The bul- lets, at fearfully short range, swept through the mass of men, women and chil- dren like a scythe, mowing them down in rows, Sull they came on, and volley after vol- ley crashed into them, only to cause those be- hind to spurn the dead bodies with their feet as they pressed forward. THE STREET8 WERE STICKY WITH BLOOD and the shallow gutters ran with it. In the meantime a number of insur- surgents, armed with pistols and rifles, had climbed upon the adjoining houses and thesoldiers began to drop one by one. After a half hours’ continuous fighting a charge with the bayonet was ordere: When the front rank of the mob felt the steel the entire concourse broke and disappeared throngh the alleys and by-ways. Altogether more than two hundered and fifty persons had been slain, by far the greater part of which were miners and other Mexican laborers. The soldiers lost sixteen killed and wounded, Among the slain was a lieutenant. The fire in the jail was quenched, and the five BADLY FRIGHTENED, BUT DETERMINED PRIESTS were taken to Guanapiorto for safe keeping. They are now confined in the castello de Grandetas, an immense ile in which the great Mexican revo- ution had its birthday, and in which the patriot Hidalgo was subsequently hanged. it is thought that had the recent riot proven successful, had the priests been rescued and the Jocal authority broken, a se- rious uprising might have developed. As it is, the incipient resolution is nipped in the bud. —— ONE MAN KILLED, Excitenient Among Students at a Cath- olic College Because of a Fire. Partapeirata, May 2.—The four-story stone building attached to the Catholic college on East Chelten avenue, east of Magdalen street, Germantown, was burned at an early hour this morning. The building was used for storage and cooking purposes,and it is supposed that the fire originated from the cook range on the first floor and in a few minutes the entire building was in flames, ‘The wildest excitement prevailed among the students in the college adjoining, for it was known that Ignatius and Michael Hillan were inthe third story of the burning building. Presently the two men appeared at a window and Michael jumped to the ground. His brother was about to follow him, when the flooring gave way under him and he sank into he burning mass of debris, Micheal was badly injured by his jump, and itis thought he will die. The loss on the burned building has not yet been ascertained, but it is understooi to “be fully covered by insurance, BISHOP POTTER’S SERMON. He Says He Intended No Insult to the President. New York, May 2.—Bishop Potter was called upon at his residence on 59th street by a United Press reporter, this morning, with a view to learning what the reverend gentleman had to say about the fierce criticisms on the following passage in his sermon at St. Paul's church on ‘Tuesday had brouzht forth “We have exchanged Washington's dignity for Jeffersonian simuplicity, which is only an- other term for Jacksonian vulgarity.” bishop said: “Ihave heard of the criticisms, bat have read none of them as yet.” “It is claimed in some quarters that you in- sulted th President and attacked the republi- nly did not intend to insult or at- tack any one. I cannot make any explanation just now, but if, on reading the criticisms, I think it is necessary I will do so over my own signature.” ‘The bishop pooh-poohed the idea that he ob- jected to Arc! nbishop Corrigan being slated to pronounce the benediction at the sub- treasury. “The archbishop and myself.” said Bisho} Potter, “are on the most amiable terms and esteem him highly.” The bishop refused to further discuss the Tatter, Peo eee Three Ocean Steamers Racing.

Curcaco, May 2——The sensational nature of the testimony adduced at the Carter trial yes- terday drew an unusually large crowd to the court room to-day. Had it been proper to have eharged an admission to a court room, the bailiffs could have realized several thousand dollars for some charity by collecting a sum from those who wanted to hear Parts of the testimony which editors decided as “unfit for publication.” When court opened the cross-examination of Harry P. Nash, the ex-night clerk of the Cooper ‘house, was re- sumed by Mr. Hines. Mr. Nash was not at the Cooper house in 1882, so he knew nothing of the scene described by Mrs. a nor of the condition of the grounds at that time. Mr. Hines questioned the witness about his having seen Mr. Pearce standing at Mrs. Carter’s room door at 11 o'clock at night. Pearce came into the hotel office and ed to Mr. Critenden about the beanties of Cooperstown. Witness could not recall any other conversation of any other guest during his stay at the hotel. Wit- ness did not know whether Mrs. Dudley or Mrs. Carter's maid was in the room when he saw Pearce outside the door in which she stood. Mr, Carter called on witness in Troy, N.

There is a good deal of Ohio in town to-day, and two or three of the more prominent Buckeyes were in the vicinity of the White House this afternoon, but they did not venture in. Most of them arrived last night and they have apparently come to stay until their cases are settled. Ex-Mayor Amor Smith, of Cincinnati, was one. He looks with longing eyes at the collectorship of customs in his city, but he is hav- ing a hard time now that Senator Sherman has gone away. He met Edward Ritchie in the lobby of the Ebbitt last night and had a lengthy talk with him. Mr. Ritchie is the gentleman who thinks Mr. Smith ought to be dropped into the cold, cold soup, because he is friendly to the saloon politicians, ‘Two other candidates for that same collector- ship are also around—Capt. A. H. Maddox, who has the Loyal Legion behind him, and Alonzo O. Myers, Whose support comes from the busi- ness men. ‘ Mr. Myers is said to be a stepbrother to Rep- resentative Butterworth, and he has the in- dorsement of the board of trade of Cincinnati. Another of last night’s arrivals was Repre- sentative Morey, who came accompanied by J. W. Clements, of Hamilton. Mr, Clements wants to be collector of internal revenue for the Cincinnati district. He will wrestle with Col. D. W. McClurg for the position, DISAPPOINTED. A more or less disappointed man came in with the other Ohioans last night, It is M. R. Patterson. He wanted to be solicitor of internal revenue, but the mantle fell upon Hart’s shoul- ders, Then he went for the assistant attorney- eneralship, but Mr. Miller told fim very frankly that he had no show at all) Now he would like to fill the office of district attorney for the southern distcict of Ohio. He was a member of the Chicago convention of 1834, and he ascribes ail his present troubles to the fact that he was then | an __ enthusiastic Blaine = man instead of being an ardent supporter of Sher- man, He will do his best to succeed now that the Senator is on the briny deep, en route for Europe. ANOTHER BUCKEYE. Joshua K, Brown was another member of the little band of Buckeye pilgrims. For two years he was secretary of the state republican executive committee, and now he wants the mission at Honolulu, He builds up a good deal of hope on the fact that the other candi- date, Representative exiles brother, has been proven to be a citizen of Hawaii. ‘T. B. Hibbs, of Smyrna, one of Representative J.B. se et constituents, also dropped off the train, His ambition extends all over the place of post-office inspector for Ohio. Of course there is reason for this sudden immigration of Ohio men, and this time it is not hard to find.

A Respite in the Case of Nelson Col- bert Until May 17. THE PRESIDENT DESIRED MORE TIME To EXAM- INE THE PAPERS IN THE CASE; HENCE THE POSTPONEMENT OF THE EXECUTION WHICK WAS TO HAVE TAKEN PLACE TO-MORROW, The President has granted a respite until May 17 in the case of Nelson Colbert, who was to have been hanged in this city to-morrow for the murder of Philip Wentzell in October last. The District Supreme Court yesterday denied Colbert's appeal for s new trial, as stated in Tax Stan, and the papers were only received by the President to-day. Owing to the limited time he would have to examine them, the exe- cution is postponed. Colbert said when in- formed of the decision of the court yesterday that he was fully prepared for death and had no concern for himself, but he felt deeply grieved on account of his mother. This morning Colbert's counsel, with Rev. Mr. Roberts, went to the Attorney-General and asked that a respite be granted, and Judge Miller at once said: “Of course there should be @ respite, for I desire to more fully examine the papers asking a commutation of sentence,” He at once dictated a letter to the President asking the respite. This was sent to the Presi- dent, who promptly acted upon it by directing the respite to be prepared, postponing the sen- tence until the nth inst. Word was at once sent to the jail. HOW COLBERT RECEIVED THE NEWS, The news of the respite was received at the jail before noon to-day, and was at once com- municated to Colbert. Rev. Mr. Roberts was with him at the time, The prisoner seemed to appreciate the resultof the interest taken in him by his counsel and friends, but remarked that he was perfectly ready to take his de- parture from this world. During the day there were numerous applications to the jail officials to witness the expected execution ‘to~ morrow. THE OFFICIAL PAPER READ TO THE PRISONER. The official document was sent direct to the jail by messenger, arriving there about 1o’clock, and it was at once read to the condemned man, who, as stated, had been already notified that it was coming. A respite was apparently unexpected by him, for he had given up all hopes, although he knew that his counsel were doing all in their power for him, This oe some of the preparations for the hanging had been commenced, and when the notification of the respite came the rope for the hanging was being prepared, and the windows in that part of the corridor in which the gallows stands were being darkened by black cambric, The mother of the prisoner was with him s short time to-day, and she seemed pleased with the respite, and others were more or less ex- cited over the news—allmuch more so than the prisoner. Capt. Prince, of his counsel, also vis- ited him, aud the prisoner thanked him for what he had done, <a ey THE CITY POST-OFFICE. A Proposed Commission to Select a Suitable Building. The Postmaster-General will shortly issue an order designating a commission, with instruc- tions to examine the hall of the Pension build- ing to ascertain whether it can be fitted up for the use of the city post-office. The commission will also probably be instructed to extend their investigation to other buildings which may be offered forthe purpose, The Treasury and Interior departments, as well as the Post- department will be represented in the com- mission. Corporal Tanner, the commissioner of pensions, has consented to represent the In- terior department. The representation from the Treasury department has not been ap- pointed as yet, but the supervising architect will probably be asked to serve. Gen. Clark- son, the first assistant postmaster-general, and Gen, Whitfield, the second assistant, will repre- sent the Post-Office department, while Mr. Ross, the city postmaster, will represent the city post-office. DANGEROUSLY WOUNDED. A Colored Boy Accidentally Shot in the Eye. This morning, aboat 11 o'clock, Theodore Tibbs, a 9-year-old colored boy, was accident- ally shot in the right oye by a 12-year-old colored boy named Caesar Gordon. They were on their way out in the woods, and were near a brook just east of Moore's lane, when the shooting oc- curred, The injured boy was taken to Freed- man’s hospital, where he was attended by Dr. Shadd. The bullet, which was 22 caliber, en- tered the left eve and inflicted a dangerous wound, which the doctor thinks is likely to prove fatal. is Town Site Entries in Oklahoma. Land Commissioner Stockslager to-day sent the following letter to Inspector Paisley, at King Fisher, Oklahoma: “In reply to your letter of the 24th ult., I have to state in reference to town-site entries inthe Oklahoma country that the registers and receivers of the fgg district land offices were instructed on the subject by circular of April 1, 1889, wherein they were ré- ferred to sections 2387 and 2388 U.S. R. S., and instructions thereunder contained in the circular of July 9, 1586, The statutes and in- structions referred to are exceedingly clear and definite. No “PARTIES IN INTEREST” EXCEPT THE INHABIT+ ANTS. “In the absence of officers properly qualified to make entry in trust for the inhabitants of a town, there can be no ‘parties in interest’ except the inhabitants, “It is equaliy clear that a private individual cannot be recognized as a pacty in interest without showing the actual existence of the town with ‘inhabitants,’ as contemplated in the law and instructions, the circular of July 9, 1886, being clear and definite as to the proof required.” Yesterday’s Game, The New York World, says of yester- day’s ball game at Staten Island. Up to the fourth inning the game was base ball; after that it was razzle-dazzle. The vii ters put their young pitcher, Keefe, in ‘the box and the result was extraordinary. He isa red-faced young man with a delivery like that of a dynamite gun, except that it is vastly more erratic. He had plenty of curve and good speed, but in command of the ball he was not leuce high. Crane and Brown were in the shuttle for the champions and did their work to the queen's taste. In the general epidemic of mild insanity which overtook the visitors, Sweeney was in the front rank, It was an off dav for the kid, and he promptly muffed and fumbled almost every- thing that came his way. The Sun says “Ebright was just as weak be- hind the bat as he was on the day before, but the runs that he let in came at a time when it didn’t matter how many runs the New Yorks scored, for the game had been hopelessly lost to the visitors.” ee OUR CANADIAN RELATIONS.
