not much Change temperature.in EARTHQUAKE SHOCKS AT CATANIA.Catania, May 14 (Special)\u2014Earthquake shocks continued throughout the night and early to-day, while Mount Aetna was still active, but only insignificant damage was reported.INDUSTRIAL SITUATION \u2014 LESS UNEMPLOYED THAN IN OTHER CANADIAN CITIES\u2014THE a ICEMAN\u2019S CONTRACT.The meeting of the council of the Board of Trade held last night dealt with a number of' matters of importance.THE BY-LAWS.The meeting last evening discussed three by-laws which are to come before the ratepayers, on the 26th.It was decided to call a general meeting of the hoard for next Wednesday evening to consider these by-laws.Though no action was taken last evening, the council of the board seemed generally favorable to the measures.They felt that the important results which might accrue from the introduction of a first shoe fectory justified the aid to the J.H.Hamilton Co.In the case of the Canadian Rand, the'Company has so greatly exceeded the conditions of its earlier contract with the Wty, it was felt that a fixed valuation of $100,000 for municipal taxes only was not unwarranted.In the case of the C.P.R., five years has Passed since the City Council entered into an agreement with the company.The company has made its improvements oh the strength of that agreement, and there seemed to he a strong feeling that the citizens were under a moral obligation to endorse the arrangement, .which still had five years to run, in view of the fact that the vote has been so long delayed.CLEAN-UP WEEK REPORT.The secretary reported that cleanup week had Lien a marked success.A general awakening seems to have taken place.From 1,200 to 1,500 loads of refuse were delivered at the different dumping grounds, and it was pointed out that any one who doubted that there had been a cleanup could be convinced by making an inspection of the dumping grounds.The good work which the city had done was most favorably commented upon and a hope expressed that they would keep it up.There is more cleaning up to he done, however, and the Board of Trade is still supporting the health department in its efforts.An expression of appreciation was mad\" for the good work of Dr.Pariseau, and especially for his lectures held under the auspices of the Board of Trade.THE INDUSTRIAL SITUATION.Mr.Steele gave out an interesting word sketch of the industrial situation, the most pleasing part of it being his remarks to the effect that the (industries lately started were doing remarkably well.One of these is already talking about extensions.Three or four important new concerns are now favorably considering Sherbrooke.The financial depression in the States may retard their decision to come to Canada, somewhat.American concerns are said to he now using all the orders they can secure in Canada to keep their home factories going, very few of which are now running to full capacity.TIMES NOT SO BAD IN SHERBROOKE.The rumors current on the street with regard to the laying off of hands in Sherbrooke appear to be much exaggerated.It is very true that orders are not rolling in to the Sherbrooke factories at an abnormal rate, but it is not true that things are dead.No one need be out of work who has ability and is willing.If a man is not able just now to find work in his particular trade, still his powers of application and industry can find a market, and at good prices.The new factories starting up and the construction work which is about to take place will take care vf any men who may be temporarily unable to get work in their favorite lines.Shqr-brooke to-day is perhaps better off than any other industrial city in all Canada.THE ICE COMPANIES.The secretary was instructed to look into the interpretation of the rule established by ice companies not to furnish ice at intervals to- parties who were not regular customers.It was felt that such a condition, if really existing, was unfair to the public and that\u2019an effort he made to have it changed, as the company's rule as interpreted would mean that families cannot obtain ice except under contract for a month or more.It is felt that this would be a decided hardship for poor families in the summer.The board will further investigate the matter.THE HOUSING QUESTION.The chairman of the, housing com- j mittee felt that the hoard should go! slowly with this question, owing to! the fact that no stringency existed.Mr.Skinner was of the opinion that! there svas no better time than the present to go ahead, because the Con-; struction work would he a benefit to the city.He was sure the houses ; would be taken up and if, as a result, others were vacated, it would he the worst class of these, and proprietors would wake up to the fact that the standard of homes in Sherbrooke had risen\u2014that they must improve their premises or go without tenants.It was finally decided that a definite plan be worked out which Could he brought into effect when the opportune time was at hand.LABOR SITUATION.As referred to above, the investigation of the board showed that there was no large number of men out of (Oontlnuca on page eight.)

the house, and was evidently started from a coal oil stove.DEBATE UN C.N.R.UP IN CQKMONS W.F.Nickle, M.P.For Kingston, Makes Slashing Attack on Sir W.DOES NOT TRUST HEAD OF C.N.R.AND WOULD NOT GO INTO PARTNERSHIP WITH HIM.Ottawa, May 14\u2014The debate on the resolution setting forth the agreement between the Government and : the Canadian Nortuèrn Railway, by which the bonds of the railroad are to be guaranteed to the extent of $45,000, commenced yesterday afternoon.There were four speeches.Premier Borden set forth the reasons for the action taken and the concessions secured, a reply from the lead-er of the Opposition, expressing disapproval of certain features of the agreement, a reply from Hon.Arthur Meighen, and finally a speech by W.F.Nickle, Conservative member for Kingston, who disagreed with his party and advocated that no action should be taken without a more comprehensive investigation into all the affairs of Mackenzie and Mann.Mr.Nickle's speech was marked by strgight opposition to the Government s proposals.He favored the Government taking over the C.NfR.and the National Transcontinental, and operating them as Government roads.His speech had been carefully prepared and was followed with the closest attention by the leaders oi both sides of the House.ATTACK ON SIR WILLIAM MACKENZIE.The feature of his speech wae a ; sensational attack upon Sir William Mackenzie, president of the C.N.R.He quoted from the Kingston Whig a statement that Sir William was not favorably disposed towards Kingston because of the attitude taken by him-.self as member upon the C.N.R.proposals.He charged further that Sir William had threatened that no orders would be given to the Kingston Locomotive Works on this same account.Some of the references to Sir William were bitter and biting.\u201cAre the representatives of the people to be throttled,\u201d asked Mr.Nickle.\u201cBetter that I should be out of public life than that Mackenzie and Mann should put their fingers on my throat.\u201d Mr.Nickle, said, further, that on one occasion Sir William had said to him : \u201cWy don't you go over to the Opposition.There is no room for independence in Canadian politics.\u201d \u201cI would rather go down to honorable defeat at the next election if I am a candidate, than he in Sir William Mackenzie\u2019s shoes,\u201d said Mr.Nickle.\u201cHe has adopted the tactics of a South African savage who blows a poisoned dart into the hack of his unsuspecting enemy.Some one behind me laughs.Let him stand where I have stood for the last three weeks and he will not laugh.\u201d Mr.Nickle asked what democracy was coming to when the moneyed plutocrat could attempt to throttle the representatives of the people.If there was no room for independence in Canadian politics he would prefer the freedom of an elector to the fetters of the elected.\u201cI am opposed,j\u2019 he added, \u201cto going into partnership with Mackenzie and Mann, just as I would be opposed to going into business with a man I do not trust.I believe that they will do the Government in the end.\u201d It was evident that the member for Kingston felt his position in disagreeing with his party somewhat keenly, and at.times he showed emotion.Sir William Mackenzie was present at the debate in the speaker\u2019s gallery during the speeches of the I\u2019remier, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, and Hon.Arthur Meighen, but had left before Mr.Nickle rose to speak.MEMBERS OF BOARD ARE DIVIDED AS TO WHETHER THERE SHOULD BE ONE OR TWO BUILDINGS.A meeting of the Protestant ratepayers of the city will be held on Friday evening, the 22nd inst., in the High School, Queen street, at 8 p.m., to meet the School Commissioners and to discuss the question of increased accommodation.This matter has been occupying the attention of the Board for a long time.The present school is inadequate to accommodate the present number of pupils, and in view\" of the rapid increase in the population of the city, it is admitted on all sides that some addition or rearrangement is absolutely necessary and that steps should he taken immediately towrards this end.A short time ago the chairman of the Board, Mr.J.A.Tate, visited Boston, in company with Mr.J.M.Jenckes, another member, in order to inspect the Boston school system and to interview a noted firm of architects who specialize on school plans.As a result of this visit, Mr.Logue came to Sherbrooke and conferred witn the School Commissioners with reference to the scheme for rebuilding.He subsequently submitted plans in connection with the project, and these have been under the consideration of the Board on several occasions.It is understood that the members of the Board are divided in their opinion as to the course to pursue.Three members are in favor of remodelling the present school and making an addition thereto, so as to have the high school grades and the elementary section under the same roof.The other two members believe that the higher grades and elementary department should have separate buildings in accordance with the system in vogue in large and progressive cities.They therefore support the idea of building a separate high school, and remodelling the present building on modern lines for the lower grades.Owing to the importance of the question and the division of opinion amongst the members of the Board, they have decided to submit the matter to the ratepayers for a free and full expression of their view's at the meeting on the 22nd inst.'PREPARE FOR THE SANITARY INSPECTOR.Sutton, Que., May
