While political observers look grave and progno- sticate all manner of trouble the Parisians are at their old trick of playing pranks. It is serious times indeed with the masses here. The barn ing question of the day is not what Germany's William is doing in Italy, or whether peace ever will be patched up between their Latin neighbors who are baking so frithifully, but whether Sadi Campt will have backbone enough to persist in wearing the much-sidiculed, peculiar-shaped high hat which he affects and which moves Parisians now to tears and now to laughter. The music halls are ringing with ballads on Carnot's bat, and everybody is trying to forget, though they will never forgive the cheers and congratulations which the young German Emperor is receiving on every hand in Italy.

The escutcheon on the German Consulate at Havre was torn from its position last night and thrown into the street, The Prefect at Havre has temlered a profure apology to the Consul, and M. Goblet, Minister of Foreign Affairs, likewise apologized to the German Embassador here for the outrage. There is no clew to the persons who committed the act.

It is said argotiations have been con- cluded by which contracts at present existing between the syndicate and American companies will be renewed for a term of twelve years.

I saw to-night proofs of Sir Charles Warren's article on the London police, which will appear in a magazine here on Saturday. It is intendedly discosting the purchase of the following articles as a deferise of his failure to catch the White- chapel murderer. Indirectly Warren says that London is practically under mob rule and that Gladstone encourages it. These are his words: "It is to be deplored that successive governments have not had the courage to make a stand against the more noisy section and have given way before the tumultuous proceedings which have exercised terrorism over peaceful and law abiding citizens; and it is still more to be regretted, that the ex-Ministers while in opposition have not hesitated to embarrass those in power by smiling on the insurgent mob. There can be very little doubt that the outcry against the police as a military force was instigated for political A dispatch from Laterza says: Ten care of and sinister purposes, and is due to the English-

WINNIPEG, October 21st.

The long-threatened conflict between the Dominion and Provincial Governments appears to have come at last. The blocking by the Canadian Pacific of the track of the Northern Pacific where it crosses their southern branch is the cause of the trouble: On Friday the local government aware in about two hundred special police and proceeded by special train to the cussing in order to protect the track-laying gang. Da arriving there they found three engines of the Central Pacific and a train loaded with about joo navvies blocking the road. White, general superintendent of the Canadian Pacific, was present and had direct telegraphic communication with President Van Horne, The inen were armed with ax he'ves and pickaxes and the engine boilers were filled with hot water and ready to throw it on the provincials, The latter included many of the prominent business and commercial men of this city, who were present to show their approval of the action of the local government. They were armed mainly with revolvers. Premier Greenway and all his colleagues were present.

The track-laving gang was distant about mile and a half from the crossing, and, owing to the inclemency of the weather, they were unable to bring the track to the point of crossing before darkness fell, and both sides returned to the city. The Canadian Pacific left a strong force of men, who remained there day and night. The mounted infantry, consisting of about 100 regulars, whose barracks are aboat two miles from the scene of trouble, were under orders from the Dominion Goverment to back up the Canadian Pacific. The officers of the Ninetieth Battalion were also instructed to hold their men in readiness, but as they are militiamen; a corporal's guard could not be obtained for the purpose of blarking the building of the Northern Pacific By Monday the track will be laid up to the point where the obstruction is across the track, and the conflict will ihen be inevitable.

The city is afirme to-night over the matter. The Canadian Pacific's attitude is universally condemned throughout the province, and by to- marrow it is probable that there will be 700 or 800 young men sworn in as special constables. By that time the track of the Northern Pacific will be laid up to the point of crossing, and another attempt will be made to force the track across The resisting force will probably consist of 100 or 400 men from the Canadian Pacific's work sh ps and, the mounted infantry, consisting of 100 men.

VIENNA, October 24th.

The German opposition in the Reichsrath, which has hitherto been divided in three parties,

has decided to sink all differences in order to show its strong opposition to Count Von Taafe. If the compact holds the Germans will probably reject the Government's military bill, which will lead to a dissolutipa of Parliament and a change of Ministry.

The Austrian Reichrath reapened to-day. In the lower house be Minister of Finance presented the budget for 1888-81 The revenues are estimated at $38.515.244 florins, and the expendi- tares at $38,345786 florins, showing an increase in expenditures aver 1888 of 21,544,819 forins.

In addition from various causes the crops have been unusually poor, some families being unpro- vided for except for a month or two. From reports that reach our ears, we judgé, however, that Honan is in a greater state of suffering than this Province.

On 1st and 2nd November occurred heavy rains in these parts, giving hope to the poor

farmers for the crops of next spring.

The examiners have already left for Peking, and the Governor in now making preparation for the military examination. Properly it should begin to-morrow, but from the absence of the new Treasurer, it is postponed for two days; by that time the Treasurer is expected to have arrived. He was appointed for the position last May. He is a Hunch man, former Judge of Kwangtung, Wan Yü-tano by name. When he arrives the judge will return to his own proper past, and the Tastai in turn to his. The number of students this year in the military examination is only something over 1,000; much smaller

than in former years.

A few days ago occurred the funeral of the late Acting Tastal, Chang Tu'ng. His sons, who are men of high literary degree had arrived, and the officials all combined to do him honour.

BELGRADE, October 14th, The official journal publishes a pastoral pre- pared by the Metropolitan Theodosius, in which he says in the exercise of his power as leader of the Servian Church and by virtue of the rights consecrated by precedents, he dissolves the marriage of King Milan and Queen Natalie.
