FOREIGN NOTES. 
In a heavy typhoon at Che-Foo, China, re¬ 
cently three European and many Chinese ves¬ 
sels were wrecked and thirty lives were lost. 
Mr. O’Connor Power, M. I*, for County Mayo, 
Ireland, is In this country for the purpose of 
examining the various educational Institutions. 
A. J. Sevluginzeff, the civil engineer appointed 
to Inspect. Die railways and canalsofthe United 
States and Canada for the Russian Government 
Is now in Canada. 
Telegrams from the East say it Is reported 
that tho Northern powers have agreed upon 
the accoptablcness of the proposals made by 
tho Herzegovinian insurgents, and regard them 
as a satisfactory basis for further negotiations; 
that the consuls at Mostar have been instruct¬ 
ed by the Powers to send tho Porto a memorial 
embodying the result of their investigations, 
with proposals for u thorough reform In Bosnia 
and Herzegovina and that instructions have 
been sent to Server Pasha to receive Die reports 
of the foreign Consul?, but not to enter into 
any negotiations with them. The Servian army 
is being reinforced, the Legislature lias removed

In the affairs of Cuba, hardly anything has 
been done of interest or importance since our 
last issue. The recent severe storm that, visited 
the Island was of itself enough to temporarily 
check military operations. The Government 
has been forwarding reinforcements to the 
Island and is said to bo confident that It can 
crush the rebellion during Dm winter. The 
Cubans, on the other hand, are In the best of 
.spirit.fi, and are more than ever assured of their 
ability to achieve their Independence. There 
is a report,apparently from trustworthy sources, 
that there is a great deal of dissatisfaction and 
uneasiness iu Cuba among Die wealthy Span¬ 
iards at the prolongation of tho insurrection, 
and that they have, therefore, united in a 
remonstrance to the Spanish Government 
against the continuance or hostile movements 
to suppress the insurrection, believing that by 
a wise policy peace may be reached between 
Dm contending parties without further blood¬ 
shed.

Montreal held a meeting on Die 1st Inst, and

stipulation* with Great Britan, and its compli¬ 
ance with the demands of Die British Minister

Minister Is said to have notified the Chinese 
Government that if his demands were not forth¬ 
with complied with ho should Jeavo Peking.

Butter.—T he butter market has been unusually 
active for tlin fine grades lit Matt', and the absence 
ot light receipts or Western have started prices up¬ 
ward. Palls have ruled very lira), and the fact ha* 
imparted much strength to the fine late-made half 
tubs that are now coming forward. The demand for 
single packages fur family use will open eurly this 
season. There is already considerable inquiry in 
this way. Of Into years a good deal of flue butter la 
moved for (he use of faun lies who euu afford to lay 
out the money. The general reports at the week 
have been all morn nr Jess tinged wlrh the Idea of 
an established advance. Too much stress should not 
be placed upon the present firm condition of the 
market. The demand has suddenly increased by the 
heavy return of our rneeniiy absent population, and 
the receipt .n ol choice table grades have not kept 
pane with their want*, and free ree-lpla will be cer¬ 
tain to give buyers a favorable position. We quote:

about one cent per lb. on the boat factories, but has 
caused some little irregularity for cither grades.
