June lit—Mr. Abbott has suc- ceeded in forming his cabinet. The cabi- nct remains as it was, except the head. This is a temporary arrangement,to enable the government to pull through the ses- sion. It is understood that Sir Hector Langevin and Sir Adolph Car--- will re- tire after the session, and it is also : mort- ed that Sir Charles Tupper W111 saw-ed .A bbott as premier. _ A cable from London says that 511‘ Charles Tupper has no intention of visit- ing Canada immediately. He was in at- tendance at the Postal congress 111 Vienna until Saturday, and is now on his way back to London. He is not expected to ar— rive there until Saturday, as he intends visiting several places in Europe With Lady Tupper en route. . The Postal congress is still sitting, but before Sir Charles Tupper left Vienna all questions in which Canada is interested had been decided. He had naturally watched the progress of events closely, and has been in constant touch with his friends at Ottawa, but he has not allowed his original plans for his continental trip to be altered—not even to the extent of returning to London to attend the memo- rial serviee in \Vestminster Abbey. A Town Nearly Washed Away. PEORIA, Ills., June 17.——A hard rain storm swept over Tazéwell county yester- day afternoon. The water fell in torrents for two hours, and the town of Hilton was nearly washed away. Cellars, wells and cisterns are flooded, and in some instances houses were washed from their founda- tions. Farm creek, :1 little stream, was suddenly converted into atom-cut, and five bridges were washed away. Great damage is reported to crops and the turnpikes to the east. The roads are submerged to such an extent that travel by wagon is cut off completely, and it will be several days be- fore the water will subside. Portions of track on the Peoria and Pekin Union and the Lake Erie and Western railroads were washed out. A Pittsburg Bridge Aiinmo. PITTSBURG, June 17.-—AL 9:30 o’clock Tuesday morning a blaze was discovered near the Pittsburg end of the Sixth street bridge, connecting Pittsburg \Wltll Al- legheny, from Sixth street to Federal street. A strong breeze fanned the flames, and in a short time a large part of the span to the first pier was burning fiercely. By hard work the flames were confined to the first span. Durin the fire one of the lines of hose kinked, 'nocking two hosemen down. The liberated hose slashed about wildly and knocked three other firemen from the bridge into the Allegheny river, twenty-five feet below. They were rescued by the crew of a passing towboat. The fire was caused by a spark from a steam- boat stack. That Columbus Expedition. CHICAGO, June 17.—\Va1ter Wellman, The Herald’s ‘vVashington correspondent, and Charles Lederer, of The Herald’s staff of artists, who are in charge of the expo- dition organized to locate the place in the Bahamas where Columbus first set his foot on the soil of the New V‘Vorl'd 400 years ago, have arrived safely at Nassau. Mr. Wellman, in a letter written the day he arrived at the capital of the English col— ony, says that they caught the governor of the Bahamas jus as he was getting ready to go to Nevaork, and secured a special audience. He was very gracious, and gave The Herald’s representatives 8. letter which will make them all right on \Vatlings. Twenty-Nine Millions of Them. LONDON, June 17,—The census returns for England and Wales indicate that the population of the two countries will aggro gate 29,000,000, an increase in the past ten years of 3,000,000.

Another Scandal Brewing in IVhich the Heir to the Throne \Vill Figure as 9 Principal—The Popular Crusade Against the Prince Continues. LONDON, June 17.—A friend of Sir Wil liam Gordon—Cumming has written to the United Press correspondent saying that, to remove a possible misapprehension, it was desirable to state that Sir William k entirely independent of any fortune hi bride may bring him, and is able to meet the costs of the recent trial without seri- ous impairment of his estate; that Lad), Cumming has not married a. “chateau El Espagne,” and will, as usual among Ame! icans and Britons, retain control of he! property; that Sir VVilliam‘s proposed visii to Amefica will not be in connection with getting a portion‘o'f his wife’s estate under his control, as he is under no such neces city, and that, in the opinion of the writer. the loss of the society of the Prince 01 \Wales will be amply repaid to Sir William by his increased ability to live within hi2 means. Diore Biases for \Vales. The popular crusade against the Prince of Wales shows no signs of abating in strength or bitterness. After the lecture delivered last night at Carnarvon, Wales ”by Henry M. Stanley, the band played “God Bless the Prince of \Vales.” The Welshmen, however, no sooner heard the first strains of the familiar air than they raised a storm of hisses which almost drowned the noise of the band. At seven religious meetings held in vad ous parts of the country yesterday the Prince of Wales was roundly denounced for the share he took in the baccarai scandal. At the Methodist conference, now being held at Leeds, the visit tc Tranby Croft was classed as a “gambler’s orgie.” In a letter published in The Pall Mall Gazette the writer asks why a captain in ahousehold regimentpsvho is wanted by the police in connection with the Cleve land street scandal, and who is now resid- ing in Tunis, should have been allowed tc resign when Sir William Gordon—Cum- min g was dismissed from the army for his share in the Tranby Croft scandal. Another Royal Scandal on the Tapis. Everybody is talking of Lord and Lady Brooke. All gossip aside, the relations be tween the pair have been little more than formal for several months past, and they have not usually answered the invitation: of royalty together. It is rumored that Lord Brooke has in his possession letten fully as interesting as those in the Mor- daunt case, written by the Prince of Wales and which call for some clear definition 01 s nth commandment. Edy Brooke has lately shown a desire to win bdck her husband, who will in all probability soon be the Earl of Warwick, and but for the baccarat scandal she might have succeeded. That raised such a storm of scandal, in which Lady Brooke’s name held a prominent place, that Lord Brooke is thoroughly disgusted and will no longer play the part of complaisani husband to his beautiful wife. tl§line between platonic affection and the Brooke having a considerable inherited es tate near Colchester. When Russia Was Against France. A bill pending in parliament, but not likely to go through this season, calls at tention to the singular and almonst ironi cal fact that England is responsible for a considerable balance of a. debt incurred by Russia many years ago for the purpose oi crushing France. It was in the latter days of the First Empire that Russia needed twenty-five millions of florins to help he) to carry on the war against Napoleon. England eagerly became responsible t( the Holland capitalists who loaned the money, for both principal and interest. Russia has allowed England to meet the obligation so far, and it is desired to wipt out the remainder, amounting to £520,00( sterling, by prompt payment, instead 01 awaiting the slow operation of the 1 per cent. sinking fund. He’d Better Stick to \Vrestling. ST. PAUL, June 17.—Chnrlcs Moth, thl wrestler, who has recently joined tht ranks of the pngilists, received a setback utthe hands of Billy Woods, of Denver who knocked him out in three rounds Moth fought so fiercely in the first twt rounds that he winded himself, and in th( third \Voods found him an easy mark. BRIEF MENTION. Yes, it is awful hot. All over the Unior the mercury has climbed to an altitudl not attained in June in many years. Il would take a whole page to tell how hot i1 is in every part of the country. The weath er bureau, however, promises to grind on? a lower temperature. Rev. Frank D.
