CANADA'S NEW PRIME MINISTER, Panama Canal Stockholders De- termined to Prosecute Lesseps. SIR WILLIAM WELCOMED HOME SMUGGLING FROM CANADA, Revenue Agents ble to Cope With the Evil nm the Northwest Curcaco, June 13.—Special Treasury Agent Soehgen yesterday returned from an extensive trip in the northwest, whither he went to make an exhaustive study of the cus- toms service along the Canadian bor- der. Mr. Sochgen found that the number of Tevenue agents is totally inadequate to co with the shrewd Cxnadiyn traders, who easily smuggle Canndian and other foreign goods across the border at unprotected points. Around St. Vincent, Minn., Mr. Soehgen found the country inhabited by a class of Canadians who it is said are thoroughly in sympathy with their brethren across the ler in their efforts to smuggle goods into the United States. At this and other points, owing to the smallness of the customs thousands of bushels of potatoes are rushed into the United States without paying duty. The tariff on potatoes being 25 cents a bushel, the loss to government is considerable. In addition to potatoes icultural implements are brought across the line in great quantities. The co-operation of alarge class of the community with the smugglers makes it extremely difficult to de- tect the guilty parties. Another trouble the open northwestern bor- dez presents is the importation of Chinese and other foreigners. ‘ihe rough mountainous country renders it ensy to escape the vigilance of the limited number of cus- tom house officers, and many objectionn- ble foreigners from Europe are also crossing into the states to avoid tho searching inquiries at New York. Opium smuggling, too, is frequently reported from Bauff, Moose Jaw and other isolated places. Mr. Sochgen’s re- port will at once be sent to Washington. BbeE ews NEW CANADIAN PREMIER, Senator Abbott, It is Asserted, Will Form the New Cabinet. Ottawa, Oxt., June 13.—Hon. J. J. 0. Ab- bott has been requested to form a govern- ment. Dernorr, Micu., June 18.—The Ottawa, Ont., correspondent of the News telegraphs today as follows: “‘Although the official announcement has not yet been made, I am able to state that Senator Abbott has been sent for and intrusted with the task of forming the new ministry on the understanding that Sir John Thompson is to act asthe leader in the house of commons. The two big questions re- maining unsettled are: What is to be done with Sir Hector Langwin, t deposed, and who is to be taken into the cabinet as the leader from Protestant Ontario, now that Thompson, a Roman Catholic, is the actual leader?” eee eS THE LESSEPS PROSECUTION, Panama Canal Shareholders Said to Be De- termined Upon It. Panis, June 13.—The Eclair thie morning says thatthe Panama canal shareholders are determined that unless the government prose- cutes M. de Lesseps on the charges they bring against Lim, that of misleading the share- holdera in regard to the canal work, they will bring the charges referred to against M. de Lesseps before the correctional tribunal of tl Seine. The shareholders add that they will take similar action against Charles de Lesseps and Baron Poisson, M. Cotta and M. Fontaine should the government fail to take action in matter. Lieut. Bonaparte Wyse, the gentleman who from first to last has been the leading person in the canal negotiations with the Colombian gov- ernment, in an interview stated that he did not see that any useful purpose would be served by instituting the proceedings contem- plated. Lieut. Wyse said that he shared in the opinion of the liquidator of the Panama Canal Company, M. Monchicourt, which was in although the canal company's accounts showed a certain amount of irregu- larity there was nothing brought to light in them which rendered the directors liable to in- dictment. M. Charles de Lesseps during an interview on the same subject said that he had not re- ceived any notification that legal proceedings had been commenced against his father or himself. He added that if they really had been initiated he would hail them with satisfaction, as they would help to realize his father's plans to complete the caral aud that he would rogre: the prosecution merely so far as it would be annoying to the family. Loxnox. June 13.The correspondent of the Times at Paris says the decision to prosecute the Panama canal management is looked upon as wenk measure, and one which will com- plete*the ruin of the enterprise. It is generally Tegretted that M. de Leeseps ia subjected to such treatment in the closing days of his uveful and patriotic life. It is reported that the pi prosecution isconnected with the scheme of a credit foncier syndicate to piace the Panama canal enterprise on such a basis as will insure the completion of the work. —a— SIR WILLIAM WELCOMED. ‘The Sturdy Scotch Burghers of Forres Re- ceive Him Cordially. Loxpox, June 13.—Sir William Gordon Cum- ming and his bride received what is generally known as a “royal welcome” upon their ar- rival ut Forres, Scotland, near which burgh Altyre, the baronet’s estate, is situated. ‘The bride and bridegroom were welcomed by the provost of Forres and head municipal authorities and neighbors. ‘The town was dec- orated with flags, flowers and bunting, and on their way to Altyre Sir William end Lady Gor- don Cumming passed beneath several handsome floral arches. The newly married couple were enthusiastically cheered by the inhabitants of Forres and its neighborhood,who had gathered from many miles around in order to show their sympathy with the owners of Altyre. The provost of Forres, upon the arrival of Sir William and Lady Gordon Camming at that place, made them a public address of wel- come and presented them with the congratu- lations of the inhabitants of the town. Noth- ing was wanting to show the bridal couple thet though some people might frown upon them en ord osech becghocs of Forres bad re- ved to testify in as open a manner as pos- sible theirayarpathy wits the Laird ot Altyre in the troubles which hovered over him and his ioyal-hearted bride. pith + <2 DONE WITH LONDON RING RULES.

Sr. Perzassune, June 13.—The Hebrew per- secution is spreading to other foreigners in Russia. A secret order has been signed by Prince Krapotkin, governor general of Trans- ceaspia, expelling nearly all Poles employed in building and working the Central Asian rail- way. This will affect from 60 to 80 per cent of the best workmen on the road. Many Hebrews who have rendered honorable military services to the empire are among thone expelled from Moscow. Tn Moscow Christian employers have deter- mined to no longer employ Hebrews. An imperial ukase empowers Grand Duke Sergius to relegate the whole of his adminis- trative head of the police, a tes even more rigorous mens- ures against the Hebrews in the near future. It is semi-officially stated that Mr. Arnold White, the agent now in this country of Baron Hirsch and the gentlemen who are actin him, and who has | been sent to Russia in order to make ar-| rangemeuts for the emigration of the Hebrews, has been very favorably received by the higher authorities, who are greatly in favor of the scheme. Loxvox, June 13.—The Rothschilds have re- ceived @ telegram from Arnold White, Baron | Hirsch’s agent at Kieff, which says that the re- ports of the wholesale ‘emigretion to England of Russian Hebrews are unfounded. sees tta ae OF A “FLYER,” The Engineer Was Killed and the Fireman Fatally Injured. Lovrsvitre, Ky., June 13.—Train No. 58, the Chicago and Nashville “flyer,” was badly wrecked on the Lonisville and Nashville rail- road at Seabree, Ky., at 3 o'clock this morning. Engineer Al. Clarke was killed, Fireman Gunn fatally injured and two postal clerks were badly hurt. ‘The passengers were badly shaken up and several were bruised, but none were seriously injured. The engine turned over aud the baggage and the postal cars were completely wrecked. The accident was caused by some freight ears which had been allowed to stand on the main track and with which the passenger train collided. paces ies ASSOCIATED PRESS SUSTAINED. An Important Decision in the Injunction Suit of the Dunlap Company. New Yorx, June 13.—The general term of the supreme court yesterday sustained the de- cision of Judge O'Brien in denying the motion WRECK of the Dunlap-Dalzicl Cable News Company for | * an injunction to restrain the Associated Press from requéring its clients to observe the rules | h« of the association in relatign to the patronage of outside news agencies. Judge Barrett wrote the opinion, and in affirming the decision of the lower court raid: “The plaintifi’s application amounted to nothing more or less than an attempt to re- strain the defendants from transacting thelr lawful business in their own way, lest in doing so the plaintiff's rival business should be in- injured or diminished. The defendants have a erfect right to limit the sale of the news which ey collect to those who contract to deal exclusively with them. It certainly is an extraordinary demand on the part of a competitor that the defendants may be en- joined from enforcing their agreements with their customers or from refusing to accept new customers without the ordinary limitations as to exclusive dealing. The plaintiff bas no standing to maintain such an action and its complaint is devoid of equity.” ‘The importance of this decision cannot be overestimated. ‘The claim of the Dunlap Com- pany, if sustained, would have becn in effect to establish the right of an individual or asso- ciation of individuals to share in the benefits of the work of the Associated Press, which would have been deprived of the power to en- force any rules to regulate its business, The decision sustains the right of the Associated Press. ———— STOCKS QUIET AND STRONG.

Hundreds Flock to St. Anthony's Shrine to Bo Cured, Prrrssvno, Pa., June 13.—This is the great day of the year for Father Mollinger, and in- cidentally for the wearied pilgrims who flock seo him. It is the feast day of St Anthony, the father’s patron saint, and from whom he claims he derives his aling powers outside of his medical attain- ments.

By To'clock the throng had inereased to fully 5,000 souls, and at 10 o'clock a low esti- mate placed the number of people that filled the church, the yard and the streots surround. ing at 10,000. Street ci public and private conveyances brought thousands, and yet were unable to carry all who wished to at- tend the early services. During the progress of the masses and re- ligious services within the church, the sounds of which could be indistinctly heard on the outside, the surging mass of pain-racked patients were upon thei: kneos in the streets, the gutters, the sidewalks, re- citing prayers and invoking the help of God in their particular cases.
