Clevilavd, Nov. 18 —Tbe Prass publishes an account of tbe way in which tbe Toloio house of refuge is conducted. Tbe institut oa is sustained by tbe state, but the city of Toledo has charge of it and reaps the benefits. Various complaints of the treatment of inmates bay* been made during tbe put year or two, and so loud did they become last winter that the state legislature appointed a committee to make an investigation. Some light was thrown upon the subject by an interview with a lace inmate. The person is Charles Connelly, IS years old. He was taken by bis father two years ago and confined in tbe refuge. The boy had committed no offense and the father s act was for the purpose of Retting the boy away from his mother, wbo was divorced. The mother, after spending much time and money, througb the intervention of tbe mayor of Clavelani procured her son's releasa. Young Connelly says that the superintendent of the refuge, McDonald, compelled him to make twenty bads, scrub a floor and knit thirtysix pairs of socks per day. If he falleS in any particular be ras fearfully beaten. B.'ery boy, he says, was treated in like manner. McDonald used a thick leather strep to beat the boys, and always whipped them until the blood ran down their backs. They were fed on meat which was literally crawling with maggots, and the rats frequently fought with the for that miserable allowance. In winter tho boys were compelled to carry ice from the river to supply the ice house. They were frequently whipped until they were sick, and then compe.led to take heavy doses of quinine. Not a few boys have died of consumption after having served a term in tbe refuge. McDonald makes the boys tell visitors that they like tbe refuge batter than their homes. Young Connelly showed horrible scars all over his body, some of which were still sore. He is a physical wreck and shows the effects of his harsh treatment while Imprisoned in tbe refuge.

He said be had hopad for great results from the speech in tbe way of unifying the Liberal party, but that these hopes would 4e disappointed if the Liberal editors refused to co-operate. '1 he situation as revealed in Scotland On Mr. Gad stone's arrival was discouraging to tin Liberals. Already Liberal churchman were opposing Radical disestablishes m a score of Scotch constituencies, and the number was likely to be largely Increased. Tbe Tories were eagerly utilising these splits in the hope of slipping in their candidates. These tactics may be effective In ten or fifteen seats and would doubtless have succeeded in several more If it bad not been for Mr. Gladstone's timely Bpeech. Now the Liberals, on tbe whole, have agread to shelve the disestablishment question and unite for the defeat of the .common enemy.  Montbxal, Nov. la—Tbe Herald says editorially that the spectacle of two cabinet ministers, Caron and White, daltering the momentous message of the governnsect that Rid would surely be executed, to aa nsssmolaga at a Winnipeg banquet recently, suggests a uniqueness of party diftjfeqli *o- whio4 no precedent can be found «%*ycfvitised country. A strong point is made of Kiel's present mental torture,-and tbe fact that the banquet owed.

Hnssla Has All the Interested Powers London, Nov. 18.— The Balkan question is day after day settling into such soaps so that Russia has all the other interested powers arrayed against her wishes as to the settlement of the statu* of Bulgaria and Boumelia. Russia's persistent demands for the absolute restoration of the separate relations of the two principalities can hardly be effectively maintained in the face of the fact that Turkey and all the other powers are satisfied to recognise the union, though with certain conditions affecting the future relations of united Bulgaria to the porta. The only way in which Russia's views are likely to prevail will be through the possible collision of the Bulgarian and Servian troops now facing each other on the frontier. Should some accident or treachery precipitate an engagement the probabilities as now existing will be into an entirely new outlook.
