The Investigation € ‘ommittee Reports That Archer Went Wrong. fo auictene April 1.—The special legislative ; committee to investigate the accounts of Treasurer Archer have drawn up a paper in- forming Gov. Jackson that there is sufficient proof that the treasurer is a detaulter. They leave the case to the governor for his action against Archer for malfeasance. ag TALL TIMES IN MANITOBA, A Lieutenant Governor Who Doesn’t Pay His Taxes and Acts Queerly. Curcaco, April 1.—A special dispatch from Winnipeg, Man., dated last night, says: There is great excitement here tonight over the re- fasal of Lieut. Gov. Schultz today to give the royal assent to two bills. Prorogation of the legislature was fixed for last Saturday, but Schultz refused to come down and prorogue, assigning as his reason that he wanted to Be ruse all bills passed — the session. is real reason was to consult the Ottawa authori- ties and the result was that he announced to the government today thmt he would withhold his assent to two bills, both relating to sales of land for delinquent taxes, one being a re-en- actment of the bill recently disallowed by the Dominion government, What makes his action appear in a more outrageous light is the fact that he is personally interested in them. He is the hardest man in Canada to collect taxes from. He absolutely will not pay and resorts to all sorts of legal quibbles to get out of paying. He has forced a crisis on the gov- ernment and it is probable that the govern- ment will resign and leave him to run the province himself. This matter coming so soon aiter the resignation of Attorney General Mar- tin leaves affairs in an awkward position and there may be an early general election. There are all sorts of stories about Martin’s resigna- tion and it seems to be the general belief that Martin's action was designed to freeze Green- way out. Martin takes the ground that as he has been premier in fact ever since the cabinet was formed he might as well be premier de jure. Interesting developments may be safely counted upon in Manitoba politics within the next ten days, —_—->_—_ BISMARCKIANA, His Admirers Propose a National Monu- ment in His Honor. Beaty, April 1.—Prince Bismarck in greet- ing his visitors yesterday dwelt upon his neigh- borly relations with Hamburg. Dr. Nolte, in reply, thanked the prince for all he had done for the development and honor of Germany. He said that for all time the name of Bismarck would be bound up with that of the German empire, and he trusted the prince would be spared for many years to be a blessing to the fatherland. Thunders of applause followed Dr. Nolte’s remarks. Prince Bismarck returned thanks for his vis- itors’ expressions of regard, and said he hoped now to beable often to visit Hamburg. He then conversed at length on colonial matters with Herr Woermann, the well-known mer- chant of Hamburg. A committee comprising influential members of allshades of political opinion, of which Herr von Levitzow, president of the reichstag, is president, has issued an invitation to the public to subscribe to a fund for the erection ofa national monument in Berlin to Prince Bismarck. The committee will invite Emperor William to become patron of the undertaking. — A Visit From the Queen.

Great Devastation in the Latonia Cir- cle. Sr. Lovis, April 1.—Information from what is known as the Laconia Circle, a section of country between Heleana and Arkansas City, which is practically surrounded by the Missis- sippi and White rivers, is to the effect that the people there are in a deplorable condition and suffering. The water poured over the levees on both sides and in three hours the circle was filled even with the surface of the rivers. The water averages eight feet deep. This occurred so suddenly that the people had no time to do anything. Their houses, stock and everything else they owned was in the water and in some cases swept away before they realized what had happened. The citizens of Helena sent the Steamer Houston Coombs down there iast Thursday as the relief boat to aid the people. A corres- pondent on board writes that when the steamer arrived at the circle a number of houses were found blown off their blocks or stilts, and others were badly ca- reened over into the water. People had been living in the lofts of some of the low houses, and when these careened they could ouly escape by knocking holes in the roofs. Several people were blown into the water and | ®wam to others, where they remained Thurs- day night, and a number of cattle were drowned. On Friday men went over the circle in skiffs and tranrferred people from trees and roofs to houses which are gen- erally substantial buildings. ‘These houses are now packed with people, hundreds of persons being in some of them, The Coombs took to Helena 131 persons and 110 cattle. Many of the planters in the circle are utterly ruined and the remainder have no seed to plant, even should the waters subside in time to put in a crop. The suffering has been and will be great and aid of all kinds will be necessary to carry the people through their affliction. FOR THE NEGRO. A Conference to be Held in His Behalf at Lake Mohunk.
