At Apia it was ascertained that French half-caste and a Swede, having been cast ashore with two other men on Pentecost island, were killed and then mutilated,

messengers were closely questioned and confirmed the details of the letter. Lieutenant Baert reached Wadelai by strenuous efforts and Emin Bey relieved Stanley, instead of being relieved and revictualled by him.

OTTAWA, February 13th.. In the Commons this evening McMullen inquired whether the report in the newspapers 'was true that Le Caion, the informer, had received secret service money from the Dominion Government several years ago.

FESTH, February 14th. During the debate on the Army bill in the lower house of the Hungarian Diet to-day, Herr Ugren accused the Ministry of using the in- fluence of the Crown to exercise, a pressure in favor of the measure. The remarks of Ugron caused a tumult. Amid the applause of the. supporters of the Government, Von Tiss, the Prime Minister,, made a speech repelling the attack on the Ministry. The House then adopted the order of the day proposed by Von

Tisza.

MONTREAL, February 14th.

A special from London to the Gazitis, the Canadian Government organ, says statements have reached here through New York that a syndicate of leading Republicans in the United States controls $300,000,000 which it intends to use in an effort to secure Canada's. annexation to the States by a system of wholesale bribery in Canada, in the event of the dissolution of the Dominion Parliament this year and a conse, quent general election,

James Laurence Carew, member of Parliament for North Kildare, was arrested to-day in the eastern division of Perthshire, where an election is being held to fill a vacancy in the House of Commons, caused by the death of Menzies (Liberal). He was taken into custody at the house of Kinloch, the Gladstonian contestant for the seat.

WASHINGTON, February 14th.

It is said at the Stats. Department that as there is not the slightest wish or desire on the part of the President or Secretary Bayard to embarrass the incoming Administration with respect to the Samoan policy, it is not at all likely that the present Administration will arrogate to itself the selection of an American representative at the proposed conference at Herlin, or that it will take any action whatever that might tend to commit the next Administra-
