i \l VOLUME I. TH E BUDG E USUI D. C. Sattler, the Man Who Went to His Death by Bullot and Drowning. CAUSES OP THE TRAGIC EVENT. Business Difficulties and a Woman Affair Among the Theories Urged. WHAT THE "GLOBE" FOUND OUT By Meant of the Active Work of it* A MiisionarieM. DEVELOPMENT OF ST. PAUL LIFE Which is Anything bnt Complimentary to the Participants Therein. The GLOBE'S account of the midnight tragedy enacted Sunday was read with great avidity, yesterday morning. Each reader made for himself a theory for the sensational Belf immolation and to many various per sons were self suggested as the solitory actor in the tragedy. At an early hour yes terday morning many rumors were cur rent in regard to the affair. The GLOBE having been first upon the scene of the disaster, took up these rumors promptly and assiduously followed each one to its source, all combined to lead to the conclusion that the pistol shot was fired by the hand of David C. Sattler, and the splash in the water was made by his falling body. He it was who cried out in agonizing voice, help, help, help. Ho it was who made a despairing struggle in view of officer Babe, and two others, and then was engulphed by the dark waters of the river. The man who was observed by officer Bahe at the letter box on the corner of WabaBhaw and Third streets the man who shot, and cast himself in the river and David C. Sattler, the well known clothier No. Gl East Third street, were one and the same man. As supposed, lie placed in the letter box word to his friends notifying them of his purpose. niS LAST MESSAGE. Tho first who was made aware of the tragic death of Sattler was M. S. Bergman, hide and leather dealer on Jackson street, between Fourth and Fifth streets. At his usual hour, Mr. Bergman came into his office. On his desk were several letters and other mail matter awaiting his attention. Among them was a postal card which drew from him an ejaculation of horror. It gave to him the first hint of the Sunday night tragedy, and caused him to fear that his friend Sattler had fallen a victim. The message was written on a postal card, and was couched in such eonfused words that it added to the mystery, as follows: FEIKND BERGMAN: Please tell brother Henry and Jake that they will find me in or near the Mississippi river by the bridge where I shall probably tight a duel. Your friend. DAVID C. SATTLEB. The above was written in German, post marked St. Paul, Nov. 24, and was directed to S. Bergman, city, Jackson street. It bore the further words, "Private to you." Scarcely realizing the import of the card, yet greatly alarmed, Mr. Bergman rushed to the store of tho Sattler Bros. There he found a young clerk in the store he stated that Mr. David C. Sattler had not yet gotten np. Mr. Bergman hastened up stairs to the room usually occupied by Sattler, and found that his bed had not been disturbed. Ho looked about for some clue to tell the story of S tiler's absence. He found his (Sattler's) watch in a desk drawer, but no word. Returning to the store, he there met Mr. Henry T. Sattler, brother of the missing man. Mr. Henry Sattler had only returned the evening previous fi\m Alma, Wisconsin. Together friend and brother repaired to the rear of the store. Mr. Bergman communicated his mysterious message both then took up sundry letters and mail matter on the desk near at baud. Confirmation of something evil stared them in the face. Two postal cards were found, both written in pencil, one addressed to Jacob B. Sattler and the other to Henry T. Sattler. The card was to all in tents a repetition of the tidings given Berg man. It ran as follows: NOVEMBER 24. BEOTIIER JAKE: Take care Joo una every- body of our folks. And dear parents. It is nsens for me to have that filit, but I must. Nobody knows why, only him and me. Your brother, DAVE. Regards to all. Be sure to find my body. The third message was also written on a postal card. A GLOBE reporter was not given access to it. Mr. Henry T. Sattler positively declined permitting any one to see it. "It's private," he aid, "and concerns no ono but me. After all, it contains just about the same that the others do." "If tho same, why not permit me to see it?" To this no explanation would be given, and again he declined to show it. These messages, coupled with the GLOBE'S account of the death from the bridge, caused immediate action on the part of Sattler's friends. In compliance with his request, they began the search for the body. The bridge was visited, but the sun had removed all traces on the spot from which the deadly leap was taken. The rolling waters of the river were looked upon, but they made no response. The banks of the river were searched, but nothing was found. About I o'clock p. M. six boats were procured in West St. Paul, placed in charge of Sergeant Walsh and a systematic search began. The river was dragged from the bridge downwards, but at nightfall, all labor had been in vain. The water refused to surrender its victim. FOB WHAT REASON? Naturally, many surmises were hazarded as to the cause of tho rash act. The fact of the suicide of a citizen so well known, amazed the community the interest was insome tensified by the sensational manner in which the deed had been committed and the intense excitement was aggravated by the myster ious message dispatched by the dead, as he etood upon the bank of the shoreless river. THE FIRST THEOBT. If a suicide, what cause had he for it? was on the lips of friend as well as stranger This manner of curiosity was increased by the brother's (Henry's) positive disinclina tion to exhibit or permit anyone to see the message, which had been mailed to him at tho last supreme moment. Inquiry around about among friends and acquaintances general verdict Sattler was embarrassed in his business affairs. It was reported he was largely in debt, and that he had money en gagements to meet yesterday. Despairing of the ability to preserve his good business name, he had not the courage to face a fail ure, and so took his own life. THE SECOND THEOBT. There were others, and they are not a few, who, while they coincided with the view of his financial distress, assigned another cause for the act. "What?" was the natural question. "We doubt not," was given in reply, "that a woman has had something to do with it." Then it was stated that the deceased had for a long time (fclly two years) been preyed upon by a noted courtezan of this city. He was denominated "the solid man" of the Jezebel, and being greatly enamored of her, he had lavi-hed wealth and bestowed expensive gifts upon her. She had cajoled him, profited by his ardent fancy, and requited him with unfaithfulness. That he was attached to the woman admits of no doubt. He has been prodigal in his expenditures for her pleasure, and to obtain her fickle favor. It is believed, and expres sion is given to the belief, that within the year, Sattler has lavished upon her fully $5,- 000. He was a constant visitor to the house of which she was an inmate, and bore the name of her "friend," and was considered the woman's "solid man" by all the other inmates, and received the cour tesies of the madam as such a character. Lately he has had a rival to the affections and faith of this woman. To win her this rival has been a constant visitor, and to com pete with him, Sattler has "put np" hand somely. Instances of his infatuation and generosity are enumerated. This winter it's alleged she wanted a seal skin sacque. She got it. So late as Saturday he purchased a ring at Greenleaf for, her. Notwithstanding all this, she having drained him, he saw or believed he was daily losing favor in the sight of his inamorata. Another rival appeared, and the woman played sweet to all three. Realizing how he was treated, and knowing be had drawn upon his business for her, he became des perate and rushed to his tragic end. THE THIBD THEORY. After all was it a suicide? This doubt arose from the myterious communication, "I shall probably fight aduel." With whom was the duel to be fought? Was the duel fought? Such question followed in fast sequence. There were many who advocated the idea of a duel. And contended that driven at last to desperation by the mercenary and fickle conduct of his mistress, mad with jealousy at the success of rivals (two) he had sought one of them out, and together the two rivals for the purchaseable affections of the siren had fought, and one had died. Belief in this theory was urged by the con stant reference his "last words" to "a duel." He spoke of it in Bergman's card in both cards to his brothers he mentions it, and declares it to be "nonsense to fight, but he must and "why, nobody but he and I know." These were the words of a man who supposed he was going to his death. Good evidence in any court. SATTLEB'S BUSINESS TROUBLES. The First TheoryIn support of the first theory, Sattler's friends say that for some time he has been embarrassed. He has complained of "hard times," and has made no secret that he was troubled. More con clusive than all such random testimony is the action of Henry T. Sattler, the sur vivini partner of the firm of Sattler Bros. Yesterday afternoon Henry T. Sattler went into the district court and confessed judg ment on the following debts: Michael Levy $ 92 80 Simon Abies 1,000 00 Jacob B. Sattler 1,500 00 Oreehel Bros 200 00 Solomon Bergman 500 00 The Merchant's National bank, 3,129 98 Auerbach, Finch, Culbertson & Co... 228 32 Immediately thereon, a writ of execution was issued and placed in Sheriff King's hands. About 4 o'clock p. M. the sheriff levied upon the stock of goods in store at No.61 East Third street. In addi tion to the above enumerated indebtedness, it is said that deceased owed fully $7,000 in this citythe Merchant's National bank being the largest creditorbesides consider able sums in the East. WHAT IS HOME WITHOUT A MOTHEB The Second Theory.There is in the city of St. Paul a den of iniquity which fairly agonizes" the inmost rscesses of hell with gladness at its existence. The presiding genius of evil in this abode of sin is a Mrs. France. Her residence is a mart for the devotion of bodies to lust and souls to damnation. This is but ordi nary in any and all maisons cle joi. Her's descends to the very depths of almost im possible infaroyfor the star attractions of her abode are her two daughters both comely girls and old residents of the city. They can be remembered as innocent children who grew up into virtuous maidenhood. A young womanhood which was ennobled by labor for daily sustenance. Mother and daughters, mayhap, have been poor, but were respectable and respected. Somehow the girls fell. The mother, instead of re claiming them, commenced to barter their persons, and, from a small beginning, she has passed along to the highest point in the brothel business. Her place is the tony place of the demi-monde. Her daughters have enriched hor. From humbly, modest clad mother and daughters they have become, and walk the streets a bedizened, brazen-faced trio of women, whose feet take hold on hell. The story is incredible, but true, that a mother does traffic upon the virtue of her offspring, and that woman holds her high carnival of sin and shame on one of the great thoroughfares of the Saintly City of St. Paul. The younger (Kitty) of these two unhappy and unfortunate children is the fair, frail woman upon whom Sattler misplaced his af fection, and reposed a belief in the trust of the fallen womanpulled down, debased, debauched, sold by a mother. Kitty France is a young girl, just beyond the days of a.bright and handsome youth. Tall of figure, willowy and graceful in style, she is an American brunette, a distinctive type, and a happy medium between a pro nounced brunette and a blonde. Aired in the gewgaws purchased with the proceeds of sin, and arrayed in the gifts of enamored "friends," she is both attractive, and, to men, worthy the venture even of a life. "This woman knows as much, and more, than anybody else about this business," was no uncommon comment upon the tragedy and the cause. This woman was called upon. She de clined to appear. She was prostrated with the sad news of Sattler's untimely taking off. Had conscience awakened to rebuke her? Mrs. France met the reporter in "the front parlor." A hard-featured woman, stern of countenance, with pitiless eyes, iron gray hair, square-jawed, grim visaged. Tne mother! "Do you know anything about Sattler's suicide?" p?%^^t ^fp^^^0 "We have heard that it was him who jumped over the bridge." "Can you assign any cause for the act?" "Me! How should I?" "Wasn't he and your daughter Kitty inti- mate?" "They knew each other." "Wasn't he her 'friend?'" "N"t particularly. He cam* to see bar often, but she 'kept' herself. "When was he here last?" "I don't know..' "Wasn't he here last night (Sunday")?" "I am sure I don't know." Just then Mrs. France's other daughter came near enough to have an interrogation pointed at her. 'Yes," said she, "Mr. Sattler wa hero last night for a little while." "Did he see Kitty?" "Yes." "Did they have any words did they quar. rel?" "No not a bit of it"mother and daughter together, with great unanimity. "Was Kitty 'engaged' at this time?" Both ladies were non-committal. But added that Sattler left the bouse about 11 o'clock. "Has Kitty received any word from Sattler since he left?" "No," hesitatingly spoken. Twist this question as it could be, the ladies preserved either a reticence or calmly denied that Kitty knew anything aboiit it. WHAT OTHEBS SAY. There were others who were not so close mouthed as daughter and mother. Sunday was Kitty's birthday. She celebrated the attainment of another year in her vocation. The unfortunate man came to see her on this eventful Occasion ot festivity. For some reason his reception wasn't as cor dial as usual. Kitty wan decidedly cool, and mamma was huffy. She intimated that his visits were so frequent, "you'd better bring your trunk down and stay." Kitty slipped off up stairs. The unfortunately infatuated man call to her. She responded and they had "some words." Then he went away! At the time the "cold shoulder" was given him, Kitty was entertaining anew friend an advance agent of a show billed for a speedy exhibition in this city. The deceased suspect ed this and taxed his mistress with it. The mother answered the dupe by saying "Even if it is BO, his money is as good as yours." Money Mother Daughter WAS A DUEL FOUGHT The Third TheoryThe above is so inter woven with the subsequent act, and transpired so shortly before the death, that the theory of a duel is robbed of any semblance of a plausi bility. Borne, nevertheless, contend that two distinct shots were heard. That frenzied with jealousy, Sattler repaired to his ofBee, wrote his letters, or notifications, and then went back after his man, found him, fought him and was slain. Undoubtedly two shots were fired Sunday night about 12 o'clock thuy were discharged in comparative close proximity. But only one shot was fired on the bridge that carried Sat tler to his death. The other shot was fired in the court house yard. WHO SAW HIM LAST. The last to look upon the living face of the dead were Messrs. Heiman and Isaao Orsehel. They met him near his store on Third street. "Your treat, old fellow," was their saluta tion. Together the three repaired to a neighboring saloon. A bottle of beer was ordered. Sattler did not indulge. "Did you observe anything Btrango about him at this time, Mr. Orsehel?" was a query of a GLOBE reporter yesterday. "No. He did not drink. He appeared pale, and somewhat excited." "Had you any intimation of the cause of his excitement?" "None, except I knew he was bothe. ed about business. I said to him, 'Sattler, fyou will go crazy if you don't stop brooding over your troubles.' In all other respects, he appeared as usual." "To what do you attribute his suicide?" "Solely to his business troubles. I know he has had a note due in the Merchants National bank for sometime, and has been extended the favor of time. He was to have paid it to-day (Monday) and finding he was not able, he just killed himself. He was a high spirited man, and couldn't endure the prospect of a failure." The gentleman fairly and firmly scouted the idea that "the woman" had anything to do with the cause of Sattler's death. Mr. Isadore Heiman was next approached upon the subject. "I met Sattler last night about a quarter to 11," said he. "We had some beer together." "Did you notice anything out of the way with him." "Not at all." "He didn't give a single intimation of his purpose, then?" "No, indeed. He was as usual. He appeared perfectly natural, and seemed in his usual hu- mor." "How long were pou with him?" "Why, I went home with him to his store I left him there at about 11:15." Mr. Heiman did not believe,he knew that Mr. Sattler's death was not caused by "woman. HIS LAST MOMENTS. "A quarter past eleven." Sattler's friend had left him. He turned about, found his way to the desk in the rear part of his room. There he indicted his last will and testa ment: "Be sure you find my body." With clouded mind, through which fiitted "the inj ury" done him by his mistress and her new friend, he wrote, "1 will probably fight a duel." Something more to be done, he groped about at it, and in his letter or noti fication to Henry, which he declines to make public, he renewed his charge, "find by body then urged the payment of all his debts, dollar for dollar, then At last he was almost ready, only one more thing to be done he writes "some word" to his mistress.. Over that "word" she lies in bed sick and weeping. Save the daughter from the mother. All ready! He finds his way, blinded already by the shadow of death, along the streets. He mails his letters. He reaches the bridge HELP! All is over. SOUTH AMERICA. Chili Captures an American VesselAn Attempt to Prove PiracyCoal Mine Ex plosionGold Mines. N EW YOBK, NOV. 25.A supplement of the Panama Star and Herald has just re ceived a dispatch from Buenos Ayres which says: "A part of the press are greatly ex cited over the capture by the Chilian cor vette Magallance of the American ship Devonshire while loading guard. The Devonshire had the authority of the Argen tine Republic, but was warned by the^repre sentative of the United States of the prob able consequences. An attempt will be made by the Chilian authorities to prove the act piratical. It is more than probable blows may be exchanged with the United States, the bone of contention being bleak, barren, desolate Patagonia, and the rock bound islands whichjguard her shores. On the 9th inst. a terrible explosion oc curred in the coal mine, Rosa Rio, at Lebau, Chili. Sixteeen miners were killed and a large number wounded. Six escaped unin jured. Damage to the mine, $100,000. The Llampaico gold washings are esti mated to yield a profit of nearly seventeen million dollars.

HALIFAX, Nov. 25.The day opened fine, with a clear atmosphero and the wind west. The official landing of the vice regal party will be made at 1:30 p. fit. At 11 o'clock the Sarmatian weighed anchor and moved np the harbor, the forts firing naval salutes as the vessel passed. The Sarmatian steamed up slowly, keeping the center of the channel. The forts and York redoubt, Point Pleasant, George's Island and the citadel thundered salutes in succession. The wharves all along the harbor and citadel were crowd ed with people. Steam, tugs and small boats followed the vice regal jparty. The fleet at anchor off the dock yards also fired salutes as the Sarmatian left her anchorage, and, on her approach the yards'of each vessel were manned, and as the vessel passed, men cheer ed lustily, and the. bands played "God Save the Queen." The sight was really magnificent. In the harbor the vessels wero decked gaily with bunting. The vice regal party were on deck coming in. The weather is very fine and the city is well prepare^ for a grand recep tion. The triumphal archek twenty in number, look well, while elaborate decorations appear on many private dwellings. There is a mag nificent display of bunting throughout the city and on vessels in port. The city is thronged with people from all parts of the Dominion and United States. Special trains are hourly arriving, bringing many from ad jacent towns. Thousands of people are on the citadel viewing the scene, and steamers, barges and boats, gaily dressed with bunting, are sailing over the harbor. As the Sarmatian passed up along the head of the wharves, the people thereon saluted' the vice regal party with deafening cheers. The demonstration was not nearly so imposing as it would have been had the fleet gone to sea and sailed in double line as at first intended. The people are full of enthusiasm and the welcomes of the Marquis of Lome and his royal wife are hearty and sincere. LEAVING THE VESSEL. The marquis and princess left the Sar matian at'1:40, accompanied by a number of barges, and were conveyed to the landing, the war vessels firing royal salutes and their yards being manned. The vice regal party was received by the Duke of Edinburg, General McDougell, Vice Admiral Inglefield, Lieut. Gov. Archibald, the principal mem bers of the Dominion government and many naval and military and civic officials. The cheering on the landing of the marquis and princess was. most f^thusiastic. The pro cession was at once formed and moved through the principal streets to the province building, where the marquis was sworn as governor general. An address of welcome was then presented by the mayor and cor poration, to which the marquis replied. The procession was then reformed and went by a circuitous route to the Admiralty House, the streets the whole way being gaily decorated and lined with people, who cheered the marquis and princess heartily. THE OFFICIAL RECEPTION. HALIFAX, Nov. 25.About 10 this morning the steamer Edgar Stuart, which had been secured for the purpose, was boarded by numerous representatives of the press, steamed down the harbor. The British fleet of six ships of the line were moored in the upper end of the harbor in two lines, headed by the Belle rophen on the Halifax side, and by the Black Prince on the Dartmouth. As the Edgar Stuart steamed around the stern of the Sarmatian, the princess, dressed in black, with the Mar quis by her side, was seen standing on the deck. As the Sarmation moved slowly up the the har bor, a royal salute was thundered forth from eighteen ten-pound guns on George's island fort, and were answered, gun for gun, from York redoubt at the mouth of the harbor. The heavy guns, on the saluting from the platform of the citadel THUNDEBED FOBTH THEIB WELCOME, and were answered by the guns of- the fleet lying off the dock-yard. The occasion was a decidedly inspiring one. When the royal standard was displayed by the Sarmatian, the fleet hoisted their colors and flung out lines of bunting. The yards were manned from the lowest to the main truck as they were ap proached. They presented a grand appearance, and as, one by one, the five war ships were near, the tars roared forth hearty and enthusiastic cheers in old Britishjfashion. The band of the latter played "God save the Queen." The Sar matian replied by a Scottisn air from the pipes. After the Sarmatian had moved in among the fleet, the press representatives landed at the Cunard'6 wharf, and went to the dock-yard, where a stand had been prepared for them. The dock-yard itself was exquisitely decorated with evergreens and flowers and bunting displayed in all directions. THE LANDING. At 12 o'clock the admiral and commodores of the men-of-war came on shore, dressed in full uniform. The landing place was well selected. A floating raft was moored a short distance from the main landing, and covered with car peting. A passage way, slightly inclined, had been erected leading up to the wharf, surround ed on either side by various designs of flags. At the head of the landing was an arch of ever greens overhung with flags. Between the time of the first appearance of the-military, forming lines an either side of the way from the land ing to the gate of the dock yard, and the arrival of the vice-regal party, the various distinguished people who were to meet the visitors began to take their places. First appeared the mayor in his robes, and the corporation. Then came the magistrates of the county, local government and legislature, chief justice and judges of the supreme court, members of the house of com mons and senators lastly Jno, A. MacDonald and members of the privy council and the ex privy council. The formal landing of the vice regal party was made at 4 p. M. Her royal highness and the marquis of Lome embarked on board the barge of the Black Prince, and, preceded by gAdmiral Inglefield's barge and followed by galleys of the ships in the double line, were rowed between two lines of men-of war. The yards* were manned again, cheers given by the crews, bands playing, and guards presenting arms. On landing the marquis and princess were received by the civil military and naval dignitaries, and a guard of honor from the 66th regiment. A beautiful boquet was presented to her royal highness by Miss Mary Archibald, youngest daughter of the lieutenant governor, immediately on landing. The procession then formed and passed out of the dock yard in the following order: Grand Marshals. Detachment of City Police. Mayor of the Corporation. General Reception Committee, in carriages. His Honor the Lieutenant Governor. His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh T-1 and Admiral. Princes Louise and the Marqui oE Lome. Staff of the General Commander in Chief. Archbishop of the Dominion. Cabinet in Carriages. Chief Judges of the Court, Law and Equity. Members of the Privy Council, not of the Cabinet, in carriages. Members of the Senate of Canada.

Judges of County Courts. Foreign Consuls. President and members of the Legislative Council. Members of the Legislative Assembly, County Magistrates and Corporation of Dartmouth. The various societies lined the streets from the dock yard to the military lines in the fol lowing order: North Platte Society. Charitable Irish Society. St. Georges Society. Winchester Unity Odd Fellows. Anglo-African Society, Catholic Total Abstinence Society. St. Joseph Society. On the procession passing out of the gate the societies wheeled inwards in succession and fol lowed. Tho regular troops, militia and artillery, formed an attractive part of the procession. Along the route the sidewalks were crowded with people. There were probably 20,000 peo ple on the streets. In all parts of the city flags were flying, and the streets on the route were completely canopied with spruce, bunting and other decorations. The crowd on foot kept up almost a continuous cheering, and the ut most enthusiasm was shown. The best of or der prevailed. The procession HALTED AT THE PBOVINCIAL BUILDING and proceeded to assemble at the chamber, where the vice regal party arrived at twenty minutes to five. Judge Ritchie, in his crimson robes, took his seat at the left of the throne. At the table in front of the throne at the right, sat John A. MacDonald, Hons. Pope, Baby and Dr. Tupper. On the left, Hons. A. MacKenzie, Bowell, Mason, Aikens and O'Connor. Her royal highness, the princess Louise, took a seat I the right of Sir Patrick McDougall, admin istrator of the government, his royal highness, the Duke of Edinburgh, being onhis left in full costume as captain of the royal navy, his breast covered with orders and decorations. Letters patent and the commission appointing the marquis governor general were read, and then Major Dewington, the marquis' secretary, placed in the hands of Lord Lome the oaths of office, whilst Judge Ititchie handed him the bible. Tho Marquis of Lome then read THE FOLLOWING OATH: "I, Sir John Douglas Sutherland Campbell, commonly called the Marquis of Lome, do swear that I will be faithful and bear true alle giance to her majesty, Queen Victoria, and will defend her to the utmost of my power against all conspiracies and attempts whatever which shall be made against her person, crown or dig nity, and I will use my utmost endeavors to disclose and make known to her majesty, her heirs and survivors, all treason and treacherous conspiracies which may be formed against her or them-, and I do faithfully promise to maintain, support and defend, to the utmost of my power, the succes sion to the crown, which succession, by an act entitled, "an act for the limitation of the crown and the better securing of the rights and liberties of the subject is and stands lim ited to the Princess Sophia, elsctress of Hanover and tho heirs of her body, being Protestants," hereby utterly renouncing and abjuring any obedience or allegiance unto any other person claiming or pretending aright to the crown of this realm, and I do declare that no foreign prince, person, prelate, State or potentate hath or ought to have any jurisdiction, power, superiority or authority, gubernatorial or spiritual, within the realm, and 1 make this declaration upon the true faith of a Christian, So help me God.

The oath was administered. While the jurat was beinir signed by the judge the governor general handed the great seal of the dominion to the secretary of state, Hon. Senator Aikens saying: "I hereby give into your hands the great seal of the dominion for safe keeping." Simultan eously with the announcement THE GOVERNOR GESESAL'S FLAG WAS HOISTED over the admiralty house, the bells of the city churches rung out a merry peal, and a salute of seventeen guns was fired from the war ships and forts, proclaiming the fact that the cere monies connected with the swearing in of our new governor general were complete.

THE MARQUIS REPLIED as follows to the address of Mayor Tobin, read ing in a dear voice: Mr. Mayor and corporation of the city of Halifax: I thank you as a representative of her majesty the queen, and in her name, for the loyal words contained in your address, which expresses well the sentiments of devo tion to her throne and person which hare ever characterized the people of the provinces of British North America, and which I am per suaded are nowhere more trnlv felt and more universally shared than in this city, the capital of the ancientty colony of Nova Scotia. commnn i has been, 1 may say already long associated with the history of the family of our gracious sovereign, tor it was here that his royal highness, the Duke of Kent, passed many years a soldier's life. It is to your city that two of his grand children come to-day. You have with you, 1 regret, for only a very short time, the prince who has made an honored profession of a sea man in every quarter of the globe in which he has already had the opportunity of serving her majesty. He has already visited North Amer ica, and let us hope that when he again comes the occasion may be made then more auspicious by the presence of her royal highness, the Duchess of Edinburgh. In no part of the British empire are the perils and honors of the naval profession better understood than on the shores of Nova Scotia, for here, although much attention is given to the successful cultivation of lands and the miner's art, the dangers of sea are braved, as on the other maratioie pro vinces of this great country, by thousands of intrepid seamen. Its pathless fields are made the highways of commerce by your hardy sailors, and its wealth gathered by your gallant fishermen and the arts of navigation are familiar to many among your population. Although sons of the sovereign have before this day visited these shores, this is the first occasion on which a daughter of the reigning house has seen the new world. I rejoice that the princess lands on this continent among a people so loyal and thoroughly worthy of the British as are the in habitants of this famous clony, and I Bpeak but feebly for her when I say she is much moved by the kindness of your welcome. For my own part, I thank yon for tho flattering manner in which you have spoken of my accept ance of this high office, and I can only hope that I shall in some measure be able to follow in the footnteps of your late governor general. I shall, at all events, always entertain the greatest solicitude for the welfare and interests of these provinces. Let me add, in conclusion, that the congratulations you have addressed to us, the hearty and enthusi astic loyalty shown in our reception, make the day on which we enter your noble harbor the hospitable and ever open gate of your province and of the wide dominion beyond, a day to re main long in grateful remembrance, and I as sure you we consider ourselves most fortunate in having cast our lot with so generous, warm hearted and devoted a people.
