TOBOSTO, Ont., March 8.—After one of the hottest campaigns of his forty yeara of political life, Sir John Maedonald has again been-r«turned to power, but with a sadly reduced majority. The majority of fifiv*one which he had when he dis solved parliament is diminished to about fifteen. In Ontario his former majority of thirty-six is reduced to less than five and in Quebec, which has unusually been his gr^at stronghold his majority of fifteen is changed to a majority of about seven, or a net loss of about twenty seats. The maritire province, where the liberals were sanguine of making a cleans sweep disappointed all theii' expectations ana were virtually the means of sustaining the government. Little changes were ex pected from the northwestern and Pacific provinces where the government had a majority of eleven in the last parliament. This representation is practically un changed. There were a number of sur prises in the election returns. The Hon. John Carling, minister of agriculture, was defeated in London only the Hon. George IS. Poster, minister of finance, and formerly minister of marine and fisheries, was defeated in Kings county, New Brunswick, and the Hon. C. 0. Colby, president of the privy council was defeated in Stanstead, Quebec. The other cabinet ministers were re-elected

The result of the Canadian election is received with general satisfaction. It is looked upon as a triumph of British fe*4 inganda pUdge of attachment to the mother country. The St. James Gazette is exnltant and winds up a leading editor ial by declaring that Canada is British still. Washington dots not yet rule over Ottawa.1

The Empire, the government organ sums up the result of yesterday's election as follows: Conservatives elected, 125 reformers, 83 majority for conservatives, *12 with seven seats to be heard trom, of which five at the last election returned conservatives. The World, a government paper, claims a majority of thirty-nine for the government. The Mail, independent, gives the government a majority of 2C. The Globe, an opposition paner says the majority for the government throughout the whole country will not exceed 20.

The Empire says:. "By calling in foreign aid the opposition leaders let themselves to a disgraceful attempt to subvert the independence of Canada and to overturn British rule on this continent. Plotting and scheming were worked out under the guise of a seductive commercial policy. Canada gave her answer to this despicable movement yesterday when it rejected the foreign plotters and their Canadian allies and sustained by a decisive majority the p.ilicv and administration which have

The Mail save: Taking the election as awholeitwill" be a disappointment to both sides. To the liberals because of the headway they have made in Ontario and Quebec has been nullfied by the action of the electorate elsewhere and to the government because it did not sweep the country. The ministerialists however, should be well pleased that they have got off so well.

HAMILTON, Ont, March 6.—The lar«e cons«»rvati ve majorities here area surprise to both parties, and especially after the liberal victory of last week. The city is wild with excitement. Large processions with lamps, atd fire-works, are parading the streets and at the conservative headquarters, whero the returns are given out, the crowd is immense. The reformers are having a good time in the palace rink, where the returns are also received. The Times and Spectator offices ark also crowded, and the Herald office block up King street, displaying large sheet by stereoptican views.

BUENOS AYR63 EXCITED.

lntvn»o Kx«lt*mem T»-I»*:r Rami* CtfMertitljr 8iMf»«a«t4*d. IvOKDOx, March &—Private advices received here from Buenos Ayres report a startling condition of affairs. Another outbreak is expected hourly and the citi^na are in a ferment of excitement and Jear. Relations between the foreign residents and the. natives have been growing inor* and more strained since the gold premium reached and pawed the 2.70 figure. Life in the city is almost unbearable, so angry the feeling and so uncertain is the course of event*. The bourse, which reflect* th« popular feeling, ia still excited and the government has issued a decree declaring to-morrow a holiday. In consequence of this disturbed state and to protect the provincial bank, whieh has not dared to open its doors to-day, 120 of the m^et prominent merchants of Buenos Avres held a conference to-day with a view to makinsr arrangement for a loan of $20,000,000. It is said that no fresh issue of paper will be made, and that the 2 per cent tax will be abolished in May. Among the current and disturbing rumors to-day is one that Senor Lope* minister of finance lias resigned and is to be succeeded by Senor Urruburn. The premium on gold closed to-day at $2.74 A rumor has reached Buenos Ayres that thirty dynamite bombs have been seated by the sovennent police at Cordoba and thb intelligence has iecnesed the excitement in the former city.

CHICAOO, March 6.—Any doubts which stay have existed regarding the intention of Mr, Parnell to carry his war against At. Gladstone into tho very heart of Africa by tending a delegation to th* United States .to head off the en? voys of the Juitin McCarthy and the majority wing of the Irish party, have been dispelled by his cablegram to John Devoy of this city, announcing that O'Kelly, William Redmond, John 0'* Connor and Timothy Harrison, will leave at once for the United States to collect funds for the national movement. When the cable dispatches a few days ago stated that the ex-Irish leader contemplated such a movo its truth was doubled by leading supporters of the Irish movement, but Parnell's own statement sets the question at rest, and the probabilities are that within a few weeks when the two rival delegations get to work in the principal cities of the country, the fur will begin to fly figuratively and perhaps literally. Both are fcfter money ns well as sympathy, more particularly tho former. Leading Irishmen say that it is hardly possible that the manifestation of hard feelings between the two factions can be avoided. The tour of Parnell's envoys will be under the auspices, if not the management of the Central Parnell league, an organization brought into existence in this city a few days after Dillion, O'Brien and their" colleagues left for New York, and which is composed to a large degree of the irreconcilable element that has always been opposed to Gladstone and the union of the liberal party with the Irish contingent. Included in the membership, also, are leading adherents of the physical force policy, and than whom the ex-premier and the liberal sympathizers with Ireland have no more bitter opponents. The central league has already communicated with New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Baltimore, and numerous other cities, where more or less of the branches of the old national league organization are known to be in sympathy wich Parneil and bis rule or ruin crapade, and in all these places arrangements are already in progress for giving tho envoys an appropriate reception. In this city either the Auditorium ar Battery "D" will be engaged for a mass meeting. Parnell has already been cabled that no stone will De left unturned by bis friends in this country to make the mission of his envoys a success. Meanwhile, however, no steps have been taken in the direct of making arrangements for tbe tour of the McCarthy delegates, although their mission commends itself to a great majority of the Irish and Irish-American element in this country who appreciate the sacrifices that Gladstone lias made in behalf of the national movement, who undoubtedly believe, as was evidenced by the communications made to Dillon and O'Brien that the Irish party can accomplish not! .ng without the assistance of its liberal allies, aud that a continuation of the present internecine fight will have no other effect than to set back the solution of the Irish question for another score of yeara. The Irish

and the or ruin contingent will fol low about four days later. After their tour of the country, it is understood that Redmond will proceed alone to Australia on a similar mission.

THAT AWFUL MURDTR.

Rnaalan PrpM Forbidden to Report the Winnownki* Harder Trial. LONDON, March 6.—A disoatch from St. Petereburg says that the Russian papers have boen prohibited from reporting the trial of Wolanski, a colonel in the life guards, for the murder of Marie Wlsnowska, the beauty of the Warsaw theaters, and who last June found poisoned with morphia in grooms. Tho trial opens on Monday and

{ortunateto

iromises be very sensational. The nnwoman had several love afiairs on hand tit the same time, and it was at first .believed that being disgusted with her life, she had taken poison. A number of partially destroyed letters, however, were found in her room, and these upon being ptft together by the police developed the fact that one of her three lovers, despairing of winning her for himself, had committed the crime. All the surface indications pointed towards Wolanski as being the murderer, and he was arrested. One of the notes read: "My latt hour has oome. I have sold my life to this mao, but I die sgaiost my will." Another read: "1 must die. This man represents justice. I am trembling and beside myself with fright, but my ia*t thoughts are with my mother ami my art. God help me." The theory of the prosecution is that while the murderer waa preparing the potion, the girl wrote tbe notes, anu that he afterwards found them and tore them up. Niuely witnesses have been subpoenaed for the

prosecution, the chief among them being General PaUcia, director general of the Imperial theater, and the principal lover of the deceased.

Mr. Sunkel, who was driving at the time, saw the car coming and took chances for crossing the track slowly, which he probably regrets now. Every effort was made by the motor man to stop the car and those who witnessed the accident say that no blame can reasonably attach to the street railway employes, but was due to the unfortunate miscalculation of M*. 8uhkel, who escaped without serious peMonal injury.

CARING FOR THE NORMAL. 030.000

An Animal Allowance oi Piuwed by the Senate. ISMANAVOUS, March 0.—The senate last night passed a bill which is of great interest to T«»rre Haute. It was a bill authorizing the superintendent of public instruction to set aside §15,000semi-an-nually for the state normal school which now gives that magnificent institution an annual allowance of 830,000 without the quibbling which has heretofore had to be gone through with in order to secure money for the needs and necessities of the school.

JOHNNY GET YOUR OUN.

A Mad Bov on Main Street Croat** Iai«n« Kaelfoment. This morning the south side of Wabash avenue from Sixth straet to Ninth-and-a-half, teeming with any number of pedestrians was thrown iato wild excitement by the maneuvers of a big black newfound I and dog, displaying ail the unmistakable and certain symptoms of hydrophobia. He was foaming from tbe mouth, eyes bloodshot, head hung low and constantly giving utterance to snarling whines. Issuing from the mouth of the alley next to the National house on Sixth street he started straight for the Buckeye Cash Store corner, where he assaulted the press by seizing the foot of a newspaper reporter and giving it a severe squeeze, doing no serious damage but frightening the unoffending scribe quite as thoroughly as though the'dangerous brute had chewed off a leg. Next the animal turned his attention to a well dressed gentlemen, standing with hia back turned, near at hand innocently awaiting an approaching street car. The dqg. seized the skirt ^^ybpsgsntleman'a u^ter in his frothing jaws. The gentleman looked over his shoulder exclaimed, "Good Lord!" and reached Buntin's drug store in three well defined, if not artistic leaps.

The dreadful beast then passed straight on his way and next turned its horrid attention to the bar in the person of Judge Joshua Jump, who, without a word of warn ins or a premonition of evil, was bitten or pinched in the left leg above the knee. Oliver Newton, with his little girl happened to be in the dog's way and Mr. NewtonVcoat was torn by the animals teeth. A well dressed gentlemen coming out xf Ed. Johnson'tj was snapped at but was missed. In his efforts to escape his feet slipped from under him and he CAOIA to the icy sidewalk with adeep, dull—well, he fell down fell hard, dropped his hat, left his headgear and never stopped an til he had reached the opposite side of the street.

A lady passing along a little further east was met by the vicious cur who tore a big rent in her dress skirt aui passed on leaving the unfortunate worn an'prostrated with nervous excitement. She was assisted into an adjacent business establishment. The thrilling cry of "mad-dog!" was then systematically raised along the streets and several persons running along behind tbe dog warned those in front of the beast of their danger. Then commenced an indiscriminate retreat to stores, the middle of the thoroughfare and any or all points f«»r safety. At Coxes' drug store corner the dog, bit a man in the leg leaving the prints of his teeth, fortunate ly, however, without breaking the skin

The dog trotted along without meeting any. other victim until Ninth-and-a-half was reached where the beast stopped at the water butt in front of Cobweb ball. The dog thrnst his snout into the water but quickly withdrew it and snarled and snapped viciously. It was his last snarl for Patrolman James Fox, with a well directed shot followed by one for good measure, dropped the animal dead in the gutter. This same dog was seen on the streets yesterday, passed fire department headquarters ana disappeared before thf firemen could kill him. That other doge have been bitten is quite probable and it would be well for the police and citizens generally in the heart of the city to maintain a zealous watch for results.

It has been found that tho dog was the property of Jacob Slangliterbeck. saloon keeper at the corner of Ninth ana Chestnut. The dog has shown unfavorable symptoms for a week or .ten days, refusing to eat, drinking but little water, etc., but was only thought to bo suffering from distemper. Yesterday morning the brute bit seveial dogs, including a big bull dog near his owner's residence and then disappeared. How many more dog* have bteu bitten is not known. But little was heard of the brute until his rampage on Wabash avenue this forenoon. The next thing in order is a proclamation from the mayor ordering tbat all dogi found unmuz/.'ed on the Streets be killed.

THE AWFUL MARSHALL MU8SRF.

Two or Clark County'* Defaulting: Treasurers Mettled With. MARSHALL, III., March 6.—The board of supervisors l.eld their regular March meetiogthis week and they cut a wide swath. In the first place they settled with the bonlamen of Thomas W. Cole, county treasurer from 1882 to 1886, whose books at the close of his term showed a shortage of $21,590. Of this amount §9,000 was county funds and the remainder township money. The county brought suit against Cole's bondsmen and secured a judgment for $8,100. This is the sum that was collected at this meeting. That due the various townships will have to be collected by separate suits and there will be fifty-one of them. After this business was attended to thi matter of Aaron P. Cole's shortage was taken up. Aaron was his father's successor and his term tended from December 1T 1886, to December It 1890. His short-ure was nearly $7,500 and was caused by V'a assuming and thus attempting to cover npadeficiencv in his father's accounts of over $11,000. T'is was before tbe investigation that revealed tbe shortage of $21,000 was made. Aaron succeed in miuciog this deficiency to £7,4-19 in tbe four years of his term, devoting all be could spare from his salary, lie has somewhat reduced the amount bis bondf* men will have to pay by turning over his available property to them. The board employed attorney* to collect from bis bondsmen tbe remainder due and then ordered the chairman to-cause to be issued a warrant tor the arrest of Mr. Cole on a charge of felon v. It was held by tbe board tbat this would be a warning to treasurers hereafter. Clark county has been peculiarly unfortunate with bcr treasurers In the last twenty-lonr yearn only one treasurer has completed bis term with* out showing a shortage on hia books. This ote exception was Burns Archer, and be was the only republican in tbe lot.

Tonched Upon—The selection or *. Officer* Before Adjonrntneut ,. —Tbe Yoanjc,People.

The miners' meeting opened thismorning with President John Kane in the chair. A qnestion came up in regard to a man who was discharged at Littles' down on the Evansville & Indianapolis road. He claimed that be is entitled to benefits from tbe defense fund. Referred. Tbe question of other claimants for relief from the defense fund was referred to committee oi brothers composed of Frank Lockbart and John Kane to investigate. A motion was made that the headquarters of the district be at Terre Haute. It wo* tabled for awhile, hut was afterward taken up and passed. Tbe question of whether the men should receive five oents extra per ton for working double was referred to the committee on scale. The convention fully endorsed the action taken by the Columbus convention and recommended tbe eight hour day for miners'. It was moved that the convention deem it detrimental to pay by the hour, therefore recommended that it- be abolished. Referred to the incoming executive committee.

The election of officers waa next in order and resulted as follows: President, Mike Commesky, of Clinton district vice president, Arthur Davison, of Dugger J. H. Kennedy, of Brazil, was reelected secretary and treasurer. The executive boardf is composed of John Kane, of Coal Bluff J. A. Coneroy, of Spottsviile, Ky. Frank Lockbart, of Ayershire, Ind.. and Joseph Dunkerly, of Clinton, Ind. The name of S. Anderson, who was a candidate for office, having been nominated three weeks previous to the convention, as is the rule, was stricken from the list of nominees.

It was further decided that the next convention should be held in Evansvilln beginning on "the second Tuesday in March I8ii2. Tbe delegates as elected to go to the national joint convention of operators and miners to be held next month at Pittsburg are John Kane, of Coal Bluff, and Frank Sockhavt., of Ayershire. The meeting then adjourned until the second Tuesday iu March 1892, when they will meet in Evansville.

It would seem from the report* given to the pres9 that the much mooted scale question was scarcely touched. It was for the purpose of adjusting the scale for the coming year that the convention was called and as no mention was made of anv discussion on the subject in the coiv vention it is believed that the matter was definitely settled upon and the delegates to tho joint convention at Pittsburg given implicit instructions.

A GREAT TIN OEPQSIT.

A .Wine Il«c»vered Xear Siimaco, Mexico, of tirent Vdltie. CITY or MEXICO, March 6.—A great tin depoeit has b^en discovered near Durango. John Pershmaker, the owner,® gives the following detail*: The discovery of the vein waa accidental. He had gone to what is known as the Diabolt mine, forty-five miles south of Durango, for tbe purpose of examining the yirld of metal bearing ores, not knowng that tin :i had ever been found there. He found a shaft about 800 feet deep, which has passed through two light veins of gold, iron and silver bearing ores. In making' a close examination of tho sides of the shaft, he noticed that the miners had ,V" passed through a large and very rich ASSf lead of oxide of tin without knowing It After making his calculations as to the probable direction taken by then vein, he ran a horizontal tunnel for a short distance, striking a vein of ore a re a a I feet wide and is composed of a solhi mass of oxide of tin, assaying from 50 to GO per cent of the pure metal. There is no suiphur in it whatever, so that the work of reducing the ore simply auounts to the work of smelting and casting into ingots. I made a thorough examination of the mine and its resources, and purchased the whole thing. What surprises me more than anything etao is t?iat nobody discovered th« value of the mine befote 2/ my arrival. But then only a few people ... /./•S'-qfj

General Nhermwn Waa Baptlaed by ArehhlxJiop l'nreell at Cincinnati. CINCINNATI, March 0.—Sister Anthony, ona of the oldest and best known catholic nuns in America, in an interview, settles the disputed question of the baptism of General Sherman in the catholic church. She said: "The colonel (for General Sherman was only a colonel then) was baptised in this city just before he started out on one of his Virginia campaigns. I was an intimate friend of Mrs. Sberman. At that time I was stationed at St. John's hospital and Mrs. Sherman sent for mo and asked that I take care of the children one afternoon. "She stated that the colonel was about to be baptized by Archbishop Pnrcelland that she wanted to devoto the whole day to him. Whether that ceremony took place at the archepiscopnl residence, near the cathedral, or at the Burnett house, I am unable to eay, but that he was baptized into the catholic church that day there can be no doubt."

The Uev. Thomas E. Sherman, son of the late General Sherman, will return to the Isle of Jersey next week. It is given out that the remainder of the family will countinue to occupy tho old homestead at 75 west Seventy-First street, New York.

This is the fourth case of the kind that has happen-' ed in Moscow, among the higher classes, einco Christmas day, and the succession of suicides and tragedies is attributable to the unhealthy onulitions of Russian life and the infiueuce of the latest works of Count Tolstoi. Mademoiselle Balavensky, it is raid, committed the rash act from disgust of life, notwithstanding she
