REBELS SLAUGHTERED.

Killed Them Off by Hundreds in China.

London, August 21.—The Hong Kong correspondent of the Times says: “The slaughter of rebels in southern Chiva con- tinues. Corpses float past Wacbau daily. Two hundred rebels who had entered Tai~ Wong-Kong, were defeated by General Mawho, who killed 100 of the rebels and took forty of them prisoners. The gentry in the districts of Paklan and Wangun daily send to the magistrates between ten and twenty rebels for execution.”

QUESTION FOR MR. BUCHANAN:

Sin,—Would Mr. Bucbanan, prohibition

lecturer, tell us what is the practical good* Ching and holds that no part of the Empire

of the coming vote on prohibition? Is he not aware that Mr. Tarte, the Minister of Public Works, and one of the most influen- tial, if not the most influential, member of the ‘present ministry, has expressly stated, in his paper, that vothing will result from the present voting. He very fairly and candidly putsthe situation as follows: It is known that a probibition bill cannot be carried in the present House of Com- mons because the majority of the House, as now constituted, are opposed to probibi- tion. Therefore prohibitionists must make prohibition a questio. at the next general election, and get the country to return a majority in favor of prohibition. Mr Tarte very justly says that the question will thus be finally mixed with other ques- tions of parties and politics of more absorb- ing interes!, and will eventually have to be dealt with at the next general election when it was not likely or probable prohibi-~ tionists will work together or sacrifice their party likes and dislikes for probibi- tion to the exclu-ion ofewery other qu:s- tion. The result is, and will be, that all the fuss and expense of the present vote ‘will count for nothing. Mr Tarte is

is a shrewd politician whose forecast is

Unbiased minds

‘ entitled to consideration. | who may deplore the evil resultsof strung

i may well weigh Mr. Tarte’s words

against the “eloquence” of of imported lecturers. It is well for lecturers and others to note thatwhile Mr. Tarte die» eountenances the prohibition movement,

no other member of the present ministry and no prominent leader of the opposition to the ministry, has publicly promised or advocated any specific, veghieoar legisla- tion as the result of the coming vote, though favorable to prohibition.

The politicians will humbug and absorb the prohibitionists as they have the grangers. This prediction will be tuund, four years hence,to be an accomplished propheey. Yours, ELEcror.

Spoiled the Rescue.

Major Tom Wllliams some time age told me the story of one of Colcned Gib Wright’s adventures iu. South Carolina in the closing months of the war.

It seems that General Kilpatrick, the Federal cavalry commander, had cap- turefl a number ef Confederates, and Wright was anxious to rescue them. He called for yolunteers to go with him into the enemy’s camp at night and picked out the men he needed from those who reepended.

The Federal treopers were snoozing quietly in their camp and on both sides of the road leading to it, and their pris- oners dozed by a fire near the center.

» Just how they got there would be bard to explain, but shortly after mid- night Gib Wright, at the head of a few men, rode at a gentle pace into the camp.

The drowsy Federals took them for a party of their own men returning from a scout, and paid no attention to them. Everything was workiug smoothly until one of the prisoners caugxt a glimpse of the newcomers. The fellow lost his head and ruined the whole business. He leap- ed to his feet and looked into the faces of the advancing Confederates.

‘‘Horray, boys!’’ he shouted in his delirious delight. ‘‘Hang me, if there ain’t old Gib Wright and his crowd. Durned if the whole Confederate army ain’t right behind him!’’

The prisoners all rushed forward with the regular rebel yell, aud the sleeping Federals suddenly became very wide awake From every side they showered bullets on their visitors, and Wright and hts men had almost a miraculous deliverance. Several were killed and wounded, but the leader and the ma- jority of the party managed to get away.—Atlanta Constitution.

OUR INTEREST IN CHINA,

MontreaL, Aug 23.—The Star’s Lon» don correspondent cables that Lord Char- les Beresford, when interviewed respect~ ing his mission to Chinain the interest of Britisa trade stated that he was going east via Marselles and Hong Kong, but very possibly he would return via Cauada though he is not settled about it.

Lord Beresford puts great emphasis on the interest of Canada in the fvture of

A Hidden Murder.

The efforts of the detectives to discover the perpetrators cf the crime have been ua- successtul. In the hope of bringing the murderer to justice, the Government have decided to offer a pardon tc any one other tLan the actual murderer who furnishes such information as will lead to a convic- tion.

PROHIBITION.

Loss of Revenue and How it will be

Made up.

Mr. Bvucnanan addressed a good audience in the Opera House last evening. He argued that the loss of revenue from liquors would be made up by means of the increased trade of a more prosperous people, and that higher duties or direct taxation would not be necessary. He re~ ferred tothe Father Matthew reform in Ireland, pointing out the loss of Irish rev~ enue resulting at that time was $2,000,~ 000, which was more than wade up from other sources, while the physical and moral condition of the people was im- proved. The people will epend the money saved by not drinking liquors in some other way, keep the money moving, and so add to the revenue by their increased trade that every dollar lost to the revenue in respect to spirits will be recouped. The cost of the liquor, $46,000,000 a year, will greatly atimulate the legitimate trade of the country. Arguments drawn from the results of partiai prohibition, the lec- turer pointed out, are all irrevalent—the prohibition sought, will, if obtained, cover the whole of Canada, and drunkenness be reduced to the minimum.
