International Sorrow Over the Death of Sir John. QUEEN VICTORIA'S SYMPATHY. All Honor to Be Paid to the Late Premier's Memory. French Element Restless and Reported Planning; Tremendous Changes—No Steps for New Cabinet Until After Fna«rsl-In{Hih Press Comment. OTTAWA, June 7.—ln every church in the city today lengthy references were made to the deceased statesman. Arrange ments were made to fire minute guns in every city in Canada Thursday, during the progress of the funeral. The ex-cabi net ministers this afternoon, when Sir John Thompson arrived from Montreal, whither he had gone to visit his little daughter, who is seriously ill, decided to give the premier a state funeral. Queen Victoria today cabled the gov ernor-general that she was deeply pained to learn of Sir John's death, which she re garded as a great loss to Canada and the sovereign. Her majesty extended heart felt sympathy to Lady Macdonald. It is understood that the governor-gen eral has not yet summoned anybody to form a ministry. Sir Hector Langevin said tonight he thought it extremely un likelv that Lord Stanley would take any action regarding the ministry till after Sir John's funeral. NEW YORK, June 7.— The Herald's Ot tawa dispatches state that the removal of Sir John from the control of affairs in the Dominion has created anxiety concerning his successor that is not confined to the Conservative party alone. The more thoughtful of the party are tilled with deep concern, while the premonitions of troublous times pervade the public mind. It is not BO much the questions of trade and tariff that are causing public anxiety as an eager inqury for a competent leader. There are questions coming up upon which religious passions, already ex l cited, may be touched off into an ex plosion and intense strife. There is also a fast developing ambition of the French race. Plans are already laid for establishing another French republic upon the northern portion of this con tinent. This element Sir John was always able to keep in check, though it reqnired every effort of his resourceful mind and many drafts upon the public treasury. The opinion is now stronger than ever that neither party of the government can much longer harmonize the differ ent race elements. The French peo ple have become prosperous, and with fine advantages for education, the younger generation is growing more rest less and chafing under the restraint which they consider confines their natural ambition. To their strong racial preju dice is added a difference of religion. The tumult caused last year by discussing the Jesuit estates bill showed the fury of this religious passion. The effort of the Mani toba legislature to abolish separate schools and use a dual language is sure to con tinue as a disturbing element. The Cath olic party feels its strength and has no hesitation in demanding rights that they believe to be due them. Their choice for leader is Sir John Thompson, who is a Roman Catholic; the Protestant element want Sir Charles Tupper, and in case that gentle man expresses a wish to remain in England, where it is said he has hopes of appointment to the peerage, the second choice of that wing of the party is said to be Hon. Mackenzie Bowell, minis ter of customs, and head Orangeman in On tario. Thus, at the very outset, a bitter contest is predicted. It is said that Sir John expressed a wish during the last campaign that Tupper should be his successor, and he is said to be the choice of the party in all the provinces except Quebec. If he will take up the tangled course of affairs where Sir John left them off he will in all likelihood be ' the next leader of the party. Closelv connected with Sir John in all affairs of state, he is better prepared probably than any other man in the party to meet the emergencies that must arise. MOl RNING FOR THE PREMIER. All Canada Sorrowing; for the Death of Sir John Macdonald. OTTAWA. Ont., June 7.—Ottawa is a city of mourning today. Everywhere were seen signs of the general sorrow felt at the'loss which the nation has sustained in the death of Sir John Macdonald. Flags were tiying at half-mast from all the public buildings and many private houses The riag was tloating at half-mast over the United States consulate. The remains of the dead leader were em balmed this morning. The official pro gramme of the funeral arrangements is as follows: The body will be privately moved from Earnscliffe to the parliament buildings, and lie in state there from 10 o'clock Tuesday morning till the hour of the funeral. The state luneral will leave the parliament buildings at 1 o'clock Wednesday afternoon l'or St. Albans church, and thence to the station, whence the body will be conveyed to Kingston The body will lie in state at the city" hall' Kingston, until Thursday noon, when the interment will take place. Sorrow of the .Mother Country, LOXPOS, June 7.— A1l the newspapers speak in eulogistic terras of Sir John Mac donald, and express the deepest regret at his death. The Daily Xews says his death is a loss to the whole empire, and if he was not exactly a great man he did great things. He contrived to postpone some of the most searching questions of colonial policy. Therefore his death is likely to produce far-reaching changes. Deep sympathy is expressed for Lady Macdonald, and messages of sympathy and condolence are pouring in from every quarter of the globe. WAR AGAINST PHILLIPS BROOKS. Dr. De Cofta'i Way of Keeping the Boa tonian Out of the Bishopric. NEW YORK. June 7. —Ever since Dr. De Costa l>egan his war upon Phillips Brooks, in his efforts to keep the latter out of the bishopric of Massachusetts, he has founded his arraignment of the Boston preacher upon statements of a correspondent of his in Boston. This person, he said, must remain anonymous, but he could assure the public that this person was responsi ble, and one whose statements could be rehed upon. When Dr. De Costa sent out his circu lars to the bishops, which contained the extract lrom his correspondent's letter, he wrote in it the note of the writer. It has now leaked oat that Dr. Do Costa a correspon dent is Miss A. Chevail lier, who established herself in this town two years ago, coming here from Boston. VVben the International Magazine of Christian Science went to pieces under Mrs. Plunkett's peculiar views of mar riage, Miss Chevaillier took it up and re vived it under the name of the Magazine of Truth. She was an ardent Christian Sci entist, and soon after coming here she organized a society, of which Heber New ton was made the head. When Dr. New ton took up the cause of the People's Mu nicipal League Miss Chevaillier broke with him, and has had a good deal to say against him since. "I can understand now," said a church man today, "why Dr. De Costa has kept back the name of his correspondent. It is because he knew her name would not carry any weight in the church. I am much surprised at his making the assump tion, as he has all along, that she was an important person, and Brooks would have to answer her and explain his views, as she describes them." At Miss Chevallier's old office, opposite the Windsor hotel, which she has given up, it was said she was in California now. Dr. De Costa says his correspondent is in California too. TIGER TERRORIZING MEN. Kills Horses and Frightens a Whole Locality. LEWISTOS 111., May 7.-rSpecial.]-The piteous screams of a horse in the stables brought Prank Chatterton, a farmer of Bernadotte, to the scene yesterday after noon. As he entered the lot a huge beast sprang from the stable door, and after bounding into the adjacent field crouched low, uttering deep growls, while its long tail waved slowly to and fro. Chatterton was horrified, and fearing either to advance or retreat, gazed help lessly at the big beast which in a few moments slunk away into a patch of tim ber. The horse lay on the stable floor weltering in a pool of blood which flowed from a dozen wounds. The animal's suf ferings were soon ended by a ball from a rilie. Chatterton declares that the brute he saw was not a panther and that he be lieves it to be a tiger. John Hulvey, residing some miles from here, came across a large animal in his field Thursday which was feeding on the carcass of a steer. The animal's screams have been heard and huge tracks have been found in the Spoon river bottoms. For the last three months McDonough county has been terrorized by this creature. A party of hunters sur rounded the brute in Crooked creek bot toms a few weeks ago, but the dogs would not attack it. The men caught a glimpse of the animal and were so frightened that they gave up the chase. About three years ago a menagerie, while crossing Crooked creek bottoms, was caught in a storm. A cage containing a tiger was overturned and the animal es caped. This is believed to be the animal which is terrorizing this section. THE NATIONAL CONVENTION. Leadera Now Considering Where It Should Re Held. NEW YORK, June 7. [Special.]—The visit of Don M. Dickinson, Cleveland's postmaster general, to New York last week, and his advocacy of Detroit as the place for the next Democratic national convention, have aroused interest in the subject. Dickinson had consulta tions with a number pf leading Democrats litre.' He told them that Detroit was the coolest city on earth in June. He also thought that it was centrally situated. He was emphatically opposed to Chicago. Calvin S. Brice, chairman of the na tional committee, said today he did not feel like expressing an opinion on the subject, because he would have to vote on it. "I believe," resumed Colonel Brice, "that the bigger the city where the next Democratic convention is held, the bigger a convention will be held. I favor at the moment either New York or Chicago. If it is held in New York, Madi son Square garden would be the place for it in my opinion." KIW USE OF HIGH EXPLOSIVES. Accident Reveals Their Use in Process of EngraTlng. NBW YORK, June 7.— Among the many new uses to which gunpowder and other high explosives have been applied recently is that of engraving. By means of the force generated by the detonation of these articles, lines of delicate leaves of grass and insects have beeen impressed on the surface of the hardest iron procurable, in the space of half a sec ond. By the old process, hours were con sumed. At Newport, a few days ago, a heavy charge of dynamite was exploded, by the officers who were delegated by the government to test the new method of electricity in fuses. Somehow a small dried leaf, without the knowledge of the officers had slipped in between the dynamite cartridge and an iron block, from which the charge had been fired. When the experiment was completed the officers were surprised to find a perfect imprint in iron of the most delicate lines, produced with a startling distinctness. A series of experiments which were attended with re markable success followed. CLEARING HOUSE RETURNS.

There waa a plentiful supply of cabs, however, and Londoners accepted the discomfort of the situation with good humor, but on a re sumption of business tomorrow there promises to be some hearty grumbling. About twenty vehicles of the road-car cpmpsny and a few of the general omni bus company's ventured out with "black leg" drivers, but many of these drivers, after experiencing taunts and jeers, abandoned the attempt after the first journey, and this afternoon the road-car company called in all it* cars, leaving the traiic to the occasion cabs, which did a good business at enhanced fares. Rail ways, river boats and cabs reaped the benefit. The strikers were generally orderly, only fj two untoward accidents were reported. At Charing Cross John Burns stoutly re* sisted the violent attempts of the police to arrest him on the top of a road car, where he was trying to persuade the police to i interfere with the driver working without a license. On the police desisting from their violent efforts, followed them strikers -at Jie traces of tvw 'busses at Marble Arch end i veftarned The men have abandoned their demand for an increase of wages for the present. The Rosd Car Company will conoede twelve hours, and it is probable that * settlement will be effected tomorrow. Disorderly scenes were witnessed later in the day at many of the omnibus depots. There were many places where traces were cut and 'busses overturned. The police had difficulty in keeping order among the crowds who sympathized with the strikers. DEMONSTRATION OF ANARCHISTS.
