Morning chronicle and commercial and shipping gazette
Sous un titre qui a varié (Morning Chronicle, Quebec Morning Chronicle, Quebec Chronicle), un journal de langue anglaise publié à Québec qui met notamment l'accent sur l'actualité commerciale et maritime. [...]
Fondé en 1847 par Robert Middleton et Charles Saint-Michel, ce journal est d'abord connu sous le nom de Morning Chronicle. Son programme éditorial est tourné vers les intérêts britanniques, ce qui plaît aux conservateurs et aux impérialistes. Toutefois, cela n'en fait pas une publication politique pour autant puisque l'on y évite les longs éditoriaux et les sujets polémiques, probablement pour se différencier du Quebec Gazette, ancien employeur de Middleton et féroce concurrent. Le contenu est plutôt centré sur l'actualité (majoritairement en provenance d'autres journaux anglais et américains), sur la vie commerciale et maritime, ainsi que sur la littérature (peu présente pendant les premières années). La ligne éditoriale du journal est définie comme suit : « [.] in the management of The Morning Chronicle we shall, therefore, begin by simply declaring, that, as we glory in our connexion with the British Empire, it will be our undeviating aim and unremitting endeavour, to create and foster a cordial attachment to those time-honoured institutions which have made her so illustrious in the annals of the world ». (May 18, 1847, p. 2)

[Traduction]
« [...] la direction de The Morning Chronicle, par conséquent, débute en déclarant simplement que, comme nous sommes très fiers de notre relation avec l'Empire Britannique, notre but sera sans détour de créer et d'entretenir un attachement aux honorables institutions britanniques, qui se sont grandement illustrées à travers l'histoire mondiale ». Sous Charles Saint-Michel (1849-1860), le journal devient le porte-parole des aspirations de la bourgeoisie commerciale anglaise et les sujets politiques prennent une part plus importante. L'esprit protectionniste, rattaché au torysme, teinte la rédaction. Durant la période de la Confédération, le Morning est utilisé comme tribune pour faire la promotion des idées de John A. Macdonald. Toutefois, l'attrait premier du journal reste avant tout la vie relative au commerce. En 1874, une fusion avec The Quebec Gazette met fin à une concurrence jugée ruineuse. Fondé en juin 1764, c'est l'un des plus vieux journaux d'Amérique du Nord. Une nouvelle entente survient en 1924. Pour mettre fin à une concurrence qui les affaiblit, le journal alors connu sous le nom de Quebec Chronicle and Quebec Gazette et le Quebec Daily Telegraph (fondé en 1875 par James Carrel, il défend les idées populaires et est reconnu comme étant libéral) s'associent et deviennent le Chronicle Telegraph. Les nouvelles prennent une place prépondérante dans les colonnes de la « nouvelle » publication. À partir de 1934, le journal est connu sous le nom The Quebec Chronicle-Telegraph. Il paraît toujours aujourd'hui. Voici les différents titres que le Quebec Chronicle-Telegraph a connus depuis ses débuts : Disponibles en ligne : The Morning Chronicle (Jan. 1847 - Nov. 1850) The Morning Chronicle and Commercial and Shipping, 1850-1888 The Morning Chronicle (Feb. 1888 - May 1888) The Quebec Morning Chronicle, 1888-1898 The Quebec Chronicle, 1898-1924 Non disponible en ligne : The Chronicle Telegraph (1925-1934) The Québec Chronicle-Telegraph (1934 à ce jour)

tho Qayton-Bulwer treaty had been violated by Great Britain to such an extent as to justiify the United States in denouncing it.The conclusions arrived at by the British Government are that the meaning and effect of article 8 of the treaty are not open to any doabt.The British Government has committed no act in relation to British Honduras or otherwise which can invalidate the treaty and justify the Govern-ment of the United States m denouncing it, and no necessity exists for renewing any of the provisions of the treaty.There might, Earl Granville says, be advantages in detia-Lng by agreement the distance from each end of the canal, in which no hostilities should be committed by the belligerents, in order to maintain the freedom of passage through the Panama canal, should it be eompleted, and when the time approaches for its completion H«r Majesty\u2019s Government will, no doubt, be prepared to give its careful attention to the qnestien of concluding an arrangement with that object, should such proposal be made ; but in the present stage of the enterprise they conceive it would be premature to enter upon negotiations for that purpose.\u201cI have not,\u201d says Earl Granville, \u201cthought it necessary to allude to the 'traditional continental policy\u2019 of the United States as laid down in the \u2018Monroe doctrine,' since Mr.Frelinghuy-sen in his note of the 8th May.in which he explained the views of his Government on that subject, admitted that Her Majesty\u2019s Government was not called upon either to admit or deny the views therein expressed/, Earl Granville intimates that the British Minister will inform Mr.Frelinghuysen that Her Majesty\u2019s Government is animated by the most sineere desire to arrive at an amicable settlement of the questions which have given rise to this correspondence, and that they note with great satisfaction the friendly assurance with which he concludes his dispatch, that the diversity of opinion which now exists will not in any wise itn- Cir the good understanding happily existing tween the people and the Governments of the United States and Great Britain.CANADIAN.Montreal, April 24\u2014The

Post Office, to petition the Premier and Finance Minister against passing clause niue of the new Civil Service Act at present before Parliament, which is intended to legalize the schedule of salaries in the Civil Service Act of 1882.It appears, accofding to emineut legal opinions, that the schedule in question is inconsistent with the body of the Act, which places the outdoor service on a full equality os to standing and salaries with those in the Departments in Ottawa.The discrimination that gives the precedence so far as standard aud progress of salaries as well as other advantages are concerned, to the inside officials in Ottawa, is attributed to the manipulation of the deputy heads of departments who hare had much to do, it is said, with the framing of the Bill.It is likely a deputation of outside Civil servants will proceed to Ottawa shortly with the petition.There is said to be great dissatisfaction manifested over such invidious treatment as is attempted towards the most responsible part of the service, which the outdoor is held to be.Charles H.\\N akefield, dealer, of Sherbrooke, Que., has been arrested on a warrant for obtaining goods under false pretences from James O\u2019Brien & Co., of this city.Mr.Senecal is at the head of another new company called the North Shore, with $25,-000 capital.It !ias a very general range of enterprises in view, and the

yesterday.Ten young Irish immigrant girls, bound for the State of Maine, had not sufficient means t« bay a meal while at the depot here waiting for tbe train.After fasting 12 hours, the Grand Trunk Baggageman took pity on their condition and introduced them to a hotel-keeper, who provided food and lodging for them fjratie.A gentleman here was run over by a cabman, who was furiously driving throngh the streets ; the carter was followed by the victim, who in the struggle to arrest the scoundrel gave him some blows, and was fined $5 and costs for the assault.The cabman was also fined a similar sum for running over his victim.The Magistrate warmly commended the gentleman, who is a leading merchant here, for his conduct, and regretted that a* the law stood he was forced to inflict a fine.A very bitter correspondence is now going on here between La Minerve and Hon.Mr.Mercier, in.reference to the prosecution for bribery pending against the local Premier.The paper threatens vengeance, and the Opposition leader says \u201cCome on he is ready.The stock market was quiet and somewhat lower co-day.0U1M f ARLIA1IHÏÏ.HOUSE OF COHHONS.Ottawa, April 24\u2014The SPEAKER took the chair at 3.30.After routine,\u2014 Mr.ABBOTT, in moving for tho second reading of the bill to authorize the Canadian Pacific Railway to lease the lines of the Credit Valley Railway and certain portions of the line of the Atlantic and North Western Railway Company to form a through route to Montreal, made some explanation regarding the matter.Sir CHARLES TUPPER, in answer to Mr.Blake, said that none of the funds of the Canadian Pacific Railway would be given to construct any of those lines, and he thought there could be no reasonable objections to the bill.Hon.Mr.BLAKE said that while he did not object to the second readme of the bill, it might fairly be understood\" that by this measure another through route by the Canada Southern Railway would be made to Chicago and owned by the same parties.The bill was read a second time, uotwith-stand that Mr.Kykert twice objected to the same.The bill respecting booms and other works constructed in navigable waters, whether under the authority of the Provincial acts or otherwise (from the Senate) was read a second time.On morion of Hon.Mr.COSTIGAN the House went into Committee on the resolution to consolidate and amend the acts respecting the Inland Revenue.Hon.Mr.BLAKE asked what effect the proposed reduction in the duty on tobacco and cigars would have on the revenue?Sir L.TILLEY said that it would reduce the revenue by $800,000.Hereafter separate premiam would also be required for the ma- \u2022SPECIAL FRIia WRDNTO.Toronto, April 24\u2014The market to-day was more active and prices, with the exception of Toronto, were steady.Holders of tne stock mentioned appear to be realizing and the general situation is reported as uucertain.At a general meeting of the Toronto Corn Exchange, held this evening, Mr.P.S.Stevenson addressed the Association on behalf of the Grand Trunk Railway.A resolution was passed in favor of leaving the matter of settling the Esplanade difficulties with the City Council and the various railway companies.Pending such negotiations the resolutiou asked that legislative action be deferred.The Evening hewn, in noticing the fact that the Independent Telegraph Company of Canada had applied for letters-patent at Ottawa, says : \u2018Tho birth notices of new railways and telegraph companies no longer excite the attention of tho public.They are regarded a* schemes tcPmako money out of the old companies and seem to be for sale even before they are weaned.\u201d Three frame stables, in rear of 267 and 2G9 ^onge street, were burned about 9 30 tonight.Louis Kqui lost two horses and Mr.Bird two.-The buildings destroyed to-night make the fifth stables burned within the past three or four days.Rev.T.Dewitt Tàlmage, the celebrated Brooklyn divine, lectured here to-night to a very large audience.His subject was \u201cBig Blunders.\u201d A crank in the Assize Court this afternoon created a temporary flutter by exclaiming in very ^dramatic tones \u201cThe L ird sent me heie.\u2019 Before he could enter upon his speech he was ejected by a couple of the Sheriff s men.It has been an opan secret for years pa* that play:ng cards for very high stakes,in fact gambling, pure and simple, was carried on at our principal and most fashionable club house.It has been also a well known fact that thaïe devotees of the goddess oJ[ chance consisted of our most solid business and professional men.Every now and again soma one, who went into \u201cfleece\u201d and came out very badly \u201cshorn,\u201d has complained of the high limit upon which the games were regulated and endeavored to secure a more reasonable game There were circulated mysterious hints of 85 points at \u201cwhist,\u201d unlimited \u201cloo\u201d^ 3JJ \u201cJack-pots\u201d at the fascinating game of \u201cpoker,\u201d and such ruinously high stakes.The Club members on their part, would deny these rumors and state that the person complaining was an outsider who happened to be brought into the gsme accidentally, a confirmed \u201ckicker,\" and one who had no business at a card table.Then tho matter would drop only to bu taken up again, when another victim was badly \u201clet-in.\u201d Another attempt will be made to reduce the high play iu tho St.James Club at tho adjourned annual meeting ku be held on Wednesday next.A prominent legal gentleman who has had, so tho members say, an unusually ba 1 run of luck lately, will move that the points at whist be reduced to twenty-five cents, and the limit on rona 1 games lowered in ropor-tion.Curious to know to what extent card-playing was iudulgcd in, iu the other club houses, a Star reporter interviewed members of other associatious and learned the following particulars :\u2014 At tho Metropolitan Club the only game of cards allowed is whist at shilling points.English, at a quarter and ten cent lives, and no bet over $1 is allowed to bo made.\u201cLoo,\" \u201cBluff\u201d aud \u201cNap\u201d are rig uously excluded.The Club $t.Denis, ranks next to the St.James as regard* the limit.There whist is played at 50 ceut points, and poker at a $3 limit.Occasional growl* have been heard from unfortunates at this club, but it \"is alleged that these were strangers who found themselves at a disadvantage in not knowing the players ami their method.Those who play regularly say that not over $50 can be lost at a sitting or more than $490 in a year\u2019s steady play.At the \u201cClub Canadian\u201d poker is played a good deal, but at a 50 cent limit as most of the members are clerks who could not afford, a higher game.Almost nightly a game of poker at a Ç2 limit is playe 1 at our leading hotel.In this game as in all the others mentioned above, it is almost always the same party who meet night after night.It can easily be imagined from this that a stranger coming in, unused to the stylo of the other players, is almost certain to be a heavy loser.\u2014Montreal Star.When you see a well-dressed young couple walking

Witness has been reading Mr.jho.xax Desjardins a lecture on the each which he uses in his volume of Legis-ive Assembly debates, days our con-aporary :\u2014 Ur.Desjardins has also chosen to improve, he considers, the Frenoh of our French-aadian feiiow-countrymec, so as to bring to cQorp dose similitude with the Language used ia France.For Instance, he has tituted for the word *\u2019deficit\u201d the word ¦ouvert,\u201d and for \u2019\u2019aarplu»\u201d \"oxoAdant.\u201d word he intended to use is.we fancy, ¦Aient\u201d and not \u2022\u2019excédant.\u201d It is a new 1 found in most modern French dictions-though not in Littré, the greatest au-ity, wno gives the good old-fashioned 4 \u201csurplus' as the proper expression.m change*, however, are neither of them luen moment.If Mr.VYurtele will only s us a surplus, we will not quarrel with i/even though he should call it an \u201cexeé-t.\u201d nor will we ba more dispoeed to let hie cit go by unchallenged, next year, base be may be pleased to term it a \"décou-S.\u201d Throughout the work, however, in Eation of the French Parliament, for the d \u201cspeaker\u201d has been substituted the term éitcent.\u201d In our parliamentary system, ésident\u201d has always meant chairman, and using of the term indiscriminately might l to confusion.However, that is cot the a reason why the word \u2019\u2019orateur, and do sr, should continue to b used.The real reason is that \u2018,oratear',.1» the term used by the law in describing that officer, and that, such being tiie cs^e, it is a piece of presumption to use any other.Let the htench'version of the B N.A.A.be amended if - it is thought advisable to do so, but so long as it remains ss it is uo one has a right to address the Speaker of the House of Assembly except as \u201cMonsieur 1\u2019orateur.\u201d NOFE-SIKOU THiPibiPlTAL.[Special to the Morning Chronicle) Ottawa, Ont., 24th April.\u2014The subcommittee on the License Bill has adopted clauses of which the following is a synopsis : There are to be three kinds of licenses, tavern, shop and wholesale.A tavern is defined, to be any hotel, restaurant or house of public entertainment, where liquor may be sold in quantities not greater than one quart and may be consumed on the premises.A shop is any house where liquor may be sold a quantities of not less than one imperial pint, to be wholly taken away from the premises in auch quantities ; and the term \u201cwholesale\u201d to apply to quantities of not less than two gallons or one dozen bottles.In cities, tow ns and incorporated villages, the number of tavern licenses shall not exceed one for every full 250 in the first thousand of population and one for every full four hundred of population above one thousand ; in rural districts licensing boards shall have power to limit the number.The number of shop licenses shall be one to every full 400 of population up to 1,200, and one to every full 1,000 of population above 1,200.No license shall be granted to sell liquor in any house where other goods are sold.The Governor-in-Council shall have power to establish license districts.There shall be a Board of License Commissioners for each license district composed of the County Judge, and in the Province of Quebec the Superior Court J udge (who shall be chairman of the Board), the warden of county or Mayor of city, as the case may be, and a person appointed by tho Governor-in-Oouncil who shall hold office for one year and until his successor is appointed.The board may appoint a chief inspector of licenses, who shall be secretary-treasurer of the board, and the sub-inspectors and board have power to define the conditions and qualifications for obtaining licenses, to limit the number of licenses, to declare the number of licensed houses which may be exempt from conditions as to accommodation, to define the duties of inspectors, etc.The board shall meet in the month of March to consider applications for licenses, and shall have power to hear evidence under oath.Every applicant for a retail lijense must file a petition for such license on-or before tho first of March, if application be for a license under the act, it must be accompanied by a certificate signed by not less than one-f«mrth of the electors entitled to vote at a Parliamentary election in the polling sub-division in which the house ia situated.No license shall be granted if the majority of said electors m tko sub-division petition against it.If the conditions of the Act have been complied with the Board shall then entertain tho application and shall hear and determine.All applications and objections shall not be confined to local evidence and the decision of a majority shall be final and not open to re-consideration.Any person who has signed a memorial against the granting of a license may be heard in opposition thereto.If it appears that the applicant is the true owner of the business and has complied with the conditions ot the law and the regulations of the Board and his application has not been petitioned againt by a majority of the electors in the (tolling sub-division,the Board may grant a certificate signed by any two of them, stating that he is entitled to a license.The Chief Inspector sliall issue licenses.No license skill be required for the sale of native wines in quantities of not less than one gallon, or in bottles of three halfpints.In tho Senate to-day, Mr.McFarlane moved the adoption of tho report of the Committee on the Nicholson divorce case, which .recommends that the preamble of the petition not having been proven the bill be thrown out Messrs.Kaulback, Botaford and Almon opposed the motion on the ground that there had been sufficient evidence to prove the truth of the preamble.All the other members of the Committee spoke in favor of the motion, which was carried on division.The House adjourned at six o\u2019clock today in order to enable members to attend the Princess' reception at Government House.The greater part of the afternoon was occupied with the consideration, in I Committee of the Whole, of.the measure ! respecting booms and other works constructed in navigable waters.This measure has been rendered necessary by a de-: cision of the Supreme Court declaring the erection of these works under Provincial authority illegal.The present bill provides that no boom, dam or aboiteau constructed, whether under the authority of ; an act of the Legislature of a Province of ; Canada or under the authority of an ordinance of the North-West Territories, or of the district of Keewatin or otherwise, so as to interfere with navigation, shall be lawful unless the site thereof has been ap-: proved and unless they have been built : and are maintained in accordance with 1 plans approved by the Govemor-Geueral-' in-Council.All booms, dams and aboit-j eaus heretofore constructed under Provin-1 cial authority are mado lawful for twelve months after the passing pf this act, but to make them thereafter lawful the sites and ' plans of such must be approved by the I Governor-General-in-CounciL Hon.Mr.Abbott, this afternoon, introduced a bill to authorize the Canadian Pacific Railway to lease for ever the Credit Valley, Ontario and Quebec, and a portion of the Atlantic and North-Western Railways.He stated that the company desired to acquire these properties in order to be in a position to compete for the traffic of Central Canada, they forming a direct line from St.Thomas to Montreal, and Sir Charles Tapper added that the Government had considered the bill and concluded that it would tend to tho advantage of the trade of the country, and none of.the, resources of the Pacific Company for the construction of the main line was to be used in acquiring theao othei railways or in payment of rentals.Mr.Blake threw out tho idea that the measure might ul timately prove of an injurious character, j udged in tho light of the policy of the Government.He referred to the reports in the press that Vanderbilt has identified himself with the Canadian Pacific Railway, and su these leased adian Southern to form a new route from .Chicago to Montreal in competition with rhe Grand Trunk.Ho did not object to such a consummation, but he thought it somewhat at variance with the policy oi the Government to keep the Canadian Pacific Company independent of American lines and to promote the trade from the far West around Lake Superior through the Canadian territory, instead of via Chicago to the seaboard.Ehe Printing Committee's report, adopted to-day, makes the sensible suggestion to the Minister of Publie Works, that officials of tfie House who now occupy a number of rooms tormerly set apart for members of Parliament should bo required to vacate them during the session.It has been found the number of rooms available for sub-oommittee work and for the use of members is altogether inadequate, and Sir Hector Langeviu promised to see that the suggestion is carried out.ihe resolutions respecting the Excise duties on tobacco and cigars and the collection of the revenue, which were submitted by Hon.Mr.Costigan some days since, were passed through Committee and a bill amending and consolidating the Inland Revenue laws, into which the resolutions aro incorporated, introduced and read a first time time this afternoon.The reduction in the tobacco and cigar duties, necessitated in order to avoid smuggling by the reduction recently made in the Lnited States, will, it is anticipated, cause a loss to the revenue of about $800,-000 annually.In addition to this amount the Government has this year remitted Customs duties to the amount of $250,000, making a total reduction in taxation of more than a million dollars.A deputation composed of Messrs.W.Osborne of Hamilton, J.McMillan of Kingston, and W.B.Scarth, A Dixon, Aid.Davies, T.Taylor and J.N.Blake, to-day upon theFinanoe r\u201ek Î&

view to shut ting out the Canadian article.The Special Committee of tho Senate, to which was referred Mr.Charlton\u2019s bill, from, the Commons, making seduction a crime punishable by imprisonment in the penitentiary, this morning, after full consideration, decided to reject the measure.In the Railway Committee this morning the bill authorizing the Grand Trunk Railway to lease the North Shore Railway for 50 years was passed.The bill to place the Toronto Esplanade under the management of a commission was after discussion rejected by a vote of 40 nays to 12 yeas.The property is at present controlled by the Grand Trunk Railway, and that corporation having expressed its willingness to meet the wishes of the Corporation of Toronto, the Committee deemed it proper to reject the bill, at least until more serious attempts have been made by the interested parties to come to a basis of settlement.Tho bill respecting the regulation of factory labor will probably be introduced to-morrow, and it is not unlikely that the supplementary estimates will be brought down on Friday.On the latter day, on the motion to go into Committee of Supply, Sir Charles Tupn«»r will make his annual exposition of the railway policy of the Government.THE WHISKEY DETfON.A THIRD DEATH.ANOTHER PROBABLE VICTIM.The Chnrch Versus Alcohol.THE CLERGY GALLANTLY FIGHTING THE FOE.TERMINATION OF THE INQUEST ON NADEAU.The terribly fatal reanlts which have attended the excessive use of alcoholio.liquors within*the last week in this city are gradual ly awakening all classes of our people, even those who have hitherto been most apathetic on the subject, to the fearful effects of an in discriminate granting of liquor licenses to parties lacking the necessary respectability of character and other requisites for keeping d« sirable houses of public entertainment.THE VEARFUL DEATHS of Turgeon and of Nadeau threaten, it seems, to be followed by another fatal tormina tion of a drunken spree.At a late hour the night before last, two young men who axe reported to have been drinking hard daring the day, took a caleche for a drive on ot.Joseph street.On approach Ing St.Valisr street, the vehicle was upset aud both occupants,the carter himself and his companion named McCannon, a youth of 17 years residing in St.Sauveur, were thrown violently out upon the sidewalk, where tho Utter fell\u2014an inanimate mass of humanity with the calcehe over him.Dr.Dion was called, but found THE SUFFERER UNCONSCIOUS.Soon afterwards, Dr.Fisetalso arrived.AIj that was possible was done for the aufferer, and in about twenty minutes, McCannon drew along breath, and commenced to show signs of life.He was then removed to his own house, but almost immediately relapsed into unconsciousness.The doctors, believing his condition critical, sent for a clergyman, and the Rev.P.Durocher arrived and remained all night with the sufferer.Congestion of the brain is feared, and tho doctors despair of saving the life of the sufferer, although last night hie condition was somewhat improved.ANOTHER FATAL CASE from the effect of alcoholio liquor is reported from the township of Stoueham, where a married man named James Cody, died a day or two since of inflammation of the lungs, brought on, according to Dr.Grondin, of Charlesbourg, from lying out in his sleifth, drunk, the greater part of a cold night.THE INQUEST ON NADEAU.Ibis inqueekvwas terminated yesterday afternoon, the verdict being \u201cdeath from congestion of the longs \" The witnesses who were detained ia custody have been discharged.RESISTING LIQUOR LICENSES.An active crusade is now in progress against the granting of liquor licenses to undeserving parties, and citizens are urged by the V igilance Association to be especially careful in signing applications for licenses.All who sign such applications are liable to be held reponsibie for the truth of all the statements contained in them.A night or two ago, the Vigilance Association had a meeting in the Recorder\u2019s Court to check over and investigate the list of applicants for tavern licenses.IN ST.SAUVEUR a meeting of the Municipal Council has just been held for the purpose of considering the list of applicants for licenses.Some thirty licenses were issued for the sale of liquors by the bottle in grocery stores, but not a single tavern license was granted.IN ST ROCH\u2019S CHURCH on Sunday lut, the Garé alluded to the shocking scenes which resently occurred in the parish, and particularly to the death of the unfortunate Turgeon.As the shocking affsir wu touched upon with due solemnity, the most painful silence prevailed, and a melancholy interest wu displayed throughout the Church in every word which fell from the lips of the reveredd gentleman.St.Koch\u2019s, he said, had unfortunately been during the put week, THE THEATRE OF A FEARFUL DRAMA.It wu useless to attempt to conceal that the painful fact, which they all knew so well, wu an indelible blot upon the parish.He regretted to say that the scene wu not altogether a novel one, and that the same disorders were continually occurring, though they were, fortunately, not always attended by the same immediately fatal consequences.It wu full time,he held, that more care should be exercised in the matter of licenses, and that citizens of St.Roch\u2019s should understand the

Districts.and all similar Irish organizations which de pend on Irish-American help than anything theretofore devised.To show how ripe t e English people were for seme such legislation and how ready Sir William Harcourt was, it is only necessary to say that the bi I require» but oue hoar and twenty e.gh» ».nutest° be introduced, explained, read thr.e times and passed in tha House of Commons and less time tlian that to go through all the stages in the House of Lords.On Sunday, \u2022 April 8, Mr.1 arnell was about to go to America to attend a reman Convention.On Monday, April U.the Explosives Bill was passed, and on luenlay, April 10, the bill was approved by the Queen and became a law.On Wednesday, April 11, Mr.Parnell announced that he could not go*to the Philadelphia Convention, and on the same day Sir William Harcourt is reported to have given it as his opinion that Mr.Parnell dared not go to Philadelphia.The reason given for Mr.Parrell\u2019s change of mind and for Sir William ifarcourt\u2019s expression concerning it is found in tho nature of the Explosives Bill.The second section makes it a felony, punishable by life imprisonment, for any person to unlawfully and maliciously cause by any explosive substance an explosion of a nature likely to cause serious injury to property, whether injury occurs or not.Section 3 makes the conspiring in any way in Her Majesty\u2019s dominions, or by a subject outside of them, to produce such explosives a felony, punishable by twenty years\u2019 penal servitude.Section 5 reads :\u2014 \u2018\u2018Any person who by the supply of or solicitation for money, the providing of premises, the supply of materials or in any manner whatever procures, counsels, aids or abets, or is accessory to the commission of any crime under this act, shall be guilty of felony and shall be liable to be tried and punished foi that crime as if he bad been guilty as princi- I»1-\u201d\t.\t.Section 5 is the section which, it.is argued, would have made Mr.Parnell\u2019s attendance at the Philadelphia Convention a felony punishable under the Explosives bill, provided the Convention should have adopted or approved of any policy which the British Government should choose to construe as leading to any violation of the act.Englishmen are beginning to believe that this new and acute move on the part of the Government will bring about the complete disintegration ot the Land League, National League and kindred organizations by making it nearly impossible for American members to even communicate with those at home as British subjects without subjecting the latter to arrest, confinement and imprisonment under some section of the bill.GATHERING OF THE PHILADEL-PHIA CONVENTION.London, April 24\u2014A quantity of dynamite has been discovered in the forts at Chatham, with no fuse attached.It was probably placed there as a threat.DCblin, April 24\u2014A large force of troops have left for the camp at Curragh, county Kildare, where much alarm is caused by a Fenian plot to blow the camp up.The trial of Kelly was resumed to-day The witnesses who testified in the former trial to prove an alibi repeated their testimony.McGowan, who once contested a seat in Par-iament, gave evidence tending to prove an alibi.Fifteen witnesses testified in favor of the prisoner\u2019s claim of an aliiji.New York, April 24\u2014O\u2019Donovan-Rossa expresses his intention of attending the Irish convention at Philadelphia.London, April 24\u2014Renewed precautions are being taken in Dublin because of the numerous letters received threatening to blow up public buildings with dynamite.Lord Carlingford, replying in the House of Lords to Lord Dunraven\u2019s remarks regarding the condition of the people of Ireland, said the accounts from the distressed districts were decidedly more encouraging the last few weeks.The Government were agreed that emigration was the beat and the inevitable remedy for the distress, but they had neither the right nor was it necessary to force it upon the people.The Government had received a hopeful offer for the removal of a numbar ot selected families across the Atlantic.In con sequence of this statement Lord Dunraven\u2019s morion was withdrawn.Philadelphia, April 24\u2014The delegates to the Irish convention are arriving in considerable numbers.So far there is a light sprinkling of the dynamite element.Among those who arrived to Attend the Land League convention are Rev.Lawrence W atsh.Secretary Hynes and Patrick Egan.Egan says the dynamite party will have a very little following.He says it is necessary for Parnell to remain in Parliament to fight the \u201cIndictable Offence Criminal Code Bill,\u201d the real object of which is to cope with disaffection in Ireland and England.Five hundred delegates to the Irish National Land League convention, to be held to-morrow, have arrived here.The headquarters of the Executive Council have been thronged all day and night.President Mooney says there is not the slightest indication of disturbance at the convention.He and his friends have carefully canvassed the situation.O\u2019Donovan-Rossa will attend as a reporter for his paper, the United Irishman.The Boston Globe publishes the following cablegram from London Mr.Parnell tacitly admitted to-day that the Explosives bill made it at least imprudent for him to attend the Philadelphia convention of Irishmen.Sir Wüliam Harcourt, the mover of the^bill, is reported to hav e said yesterday that the Explosives bill would do more to disarm the Irish in America than all else that had ever been done in that direction by the British Government.Mr.Parnell does not deny that up to the 9th of April he had strong hopes of being able to attend the Philadelphia convention, nor that at that date he had completed many preparations for an extended absence from London.Ho declines to state whether he had engaged with any committees in America to go to Philadelphia, bat he frankly says that be very much regrets that circumstances have arisen compelling him to decline the strong invitations extended to him by nearly all the Irish societies in America.Sir William Harcourt, now that English men begin to look more closely into the matter and to accept the more recent ex plan ations for the urgency of the Explosives bill, seems to be overshadowing all other British politicians in British favor.Sir William yesterday, in an interview, did not hesitate to declare that it was the opinion of many well informed persons that Mr.Parnell was proving to be too much for Mr.G ladstone ; and tnat it waahis own opinion that, while Mr.Parnell dexterously kept the Premier\u2019s attention bent on Irish remedial legislation, the true policy for England was to secure some kind of legislation that would cut ofl the Irish agitators in England and Ireland from the great strength they possessed in their close reUtiousnips sad alliances with the Irish in the United duces.Speaking upon this subject the Home Secretary is reported to have used the following language :\u2014 \u201cIt is not a matter of great difficulty with the British Government to cope with treasonable Itishmen who live in either Ireland or England.That task is comparatively easy, because in these cases the traitors are British subjects and the British Government is well organized to reach a British subject wherever he may be, fir the purpose of either punishing him for bis crimes or protecting him in his liberties.But for many years past the British Government has been under obligations by a treaty to recognize the renunciation of allegiance of every British subject who chose to go to the United States and become a citizen of that country, even though his adoption of citizenship 1m solely for treasonable purposes.Great Britain, in 1871, con-clnded with the United Sûtes the treaty re-sognizing the renanciation ot allegiance by British subjects who chose to become American citizens.Betore that time the British subject was always a British subject, and ooold be brought back and punished for treasonable words or actions, wherever uttered or committed.Since that time Irish treason has developed into a system with refuge and means of attack, but always dependent on the inspiration famished from notne.So long as Irish movements for independence continue to be treason to the British Government attempts at remedial legislation for Ireland must continue to be waste of time, un less there be a perfect sundering of the relationship existing between the men who think ont treason here and those who act out that treason behind the refuge of foreign citizenship.No Irish traitor in Ireland or England, no matter how poAerful for evil by reason of his sUtion, his means or his ability, need ever do an overt act or plaoe himself within the law\u2019s cognizance so long as he can safely remain in communication with traitors abroad and move them.The Explosive* act will put an end to this communication and will go further towards restoring and securing peace than a thousand volomee of remedial legislation.I repeat the sentiment I expressedJu the House, that England has to deal with men who, like pirates, are the enemies of the human race, and who, in my opinion, ougnt to ue treated like men wno have no nationality.And some of these men are men in the higher walks of life, banded together like assassins, organizing societies for the avowed purpose of collecting *° 9*y the expenses of wholesale mur-\u201cVi'»*1 assassination.\u201d Waiiam\tpUln that Ul0st ot Sir Mrs.Langtry.HER EXPERIENCES DURING MONTHS\u2019 TOUR.A FOUR [Xew York Herald.) After more than a four months\u2019 absence there are more temptations a hundred fold than there are here.Do you suppose that after passing through the temptations of London life I would come to America and abandon myself to the wickedness charged against me ?I have spoken freely to the Herald\u2014more freely than I have yet spoken.I will add simply this :\u2014The American press has treated rny histrionic efforts very generously.Aside from that some of the papers have spoken very unkindly of me.I am a woman and defenceless.If they think it manly or rhivalrous to continue their attacks I presume it is their privilege to do so.\" 01*1X10*3 OF THE PEOPLE.< To the Editor of the Mornintt Chronicle.) Sir,\u2014Your remarks on the Star article re' ferring to the \u201cThe usual fire at Quebec\u201d arc well timed, but should also have included some remarks of the U'i/mw which appeared in last Friday\u2019s issue, wherein we are treated to the usual lecture about water supply, etc., etc., writing in perfect ignorance of the facts, which weie such as to have made it utterly impossible for even the Montreal Brigade and its water supply to save anything more than our own Brigade did.Such writing from its abominable impudence becomes unbearable, With all the cleverness of the Montreal firemen and their appliances (every one of which is duplicated in our Fire Department) they always forget that they have constantly recurring extensive and costly fires as well as ourselves.The usual spirit of jealousy, which is deeply implanted in Montreal against Quebec, and everything Quebec, is conspicuous iu these articles, and merits heartfelt contempt on the part of every man, woman and child in the city.Yours truly, Qukbeckk.Quebec, *23rd April, 1883.fTo the Editor o/ the Morniny Chronicle./ Dear Sir,\u2014I was reently asked for some particulars in regard to \u201cMeuron\u2019s Regiment\u201d and also \u201cWatteville\u2019s Regiment,\" sent out to Canada during the American war, and have much pleasure in enclosing you the list of officers placed on half-pay upon the disbanding of the corps subsequent to the battle of Waterloo.mehron\u2019s regiment.British Halj-Pay.Rank in When placed Major\tthe army.on half-pay James Horton.May 18, 1814 Sept 30, 1819 Captains William Hinde, Major.Ang, 12, 1819 Chas Robertson.May fi, 1813 Lieutenants Thomas Moody.June 1,1809 Thos.Leonard.Nov.1,1811 William Robins.May 19, 1812 Louis Simoneau.Jane 1, .Chas.Brumby.Feb.25, 1814 Gilmor Robinson.Sep 1, .Duncan Campbell Napier.May 4,1815 Flies, roaches, ants, bed-bugs, rats, mice, gophers, chipmunks, cleared out by \"Rough on Rits.\" 15c.from New York city\u2014except for a flying vi- Wm.Herschel ait\u2014Mrs.Lahatrv again tock np her quarters Griesbach.Jany.26, 181b was directed ^straight atSir.coarse, a ming at the breaking up\u2019of the Uv namite business, as it has been carried on recently in England, reali> t -jit.advantage of the popular fnry to rush through a measure better calculated to suppress Imd leagues sit\u2014Mrs.Langtry again tock up her quarters at the Albemarle Hotel yesterday.Her journeyiogs did not seem to have told upon her.When a Herald reporter saw her in the afternoon her complexion was as blooming, her eye as bright and her manner as vivacious as when she appeared on the deck of an ocean steamship in New \\ ork bay, and received a small army of newspaper men who had got down to meet her.Mrs.Langtry begins two weeks of * farewell performances\u201d at the Fifth Avenue Theatre this evening, appearing as Galatea in Gilbert\u2019s \u201cPygmalion and Galatea.\u201d This will be her first appearance in this character, and her delineation of it is awaited with interest.\u201cYes,\u201d said Mrs.Langtry, in response to the reporter\u2019s suggestion, \u201cI have seen a great deal of your country.There,\u201d she went on, smiling, \u201cI knew you would ask me how I like it.Well, I am somewhat better qualified to answer the question now than I was when I caught my first glimpse of the country from the steamer's deep.Of course you expect me to speak enthusiastically of it.Seriously, however, and in all candor, I may say, if my opinion is cared for, that I admire it very much.The vast greatness, if I may so express it, of your W estera country impressed me deeply ; but there is more refinement and culture in your Eastern cities.Where did I have my pleasantest experieme! Well, without meaning to make disagreeable comparisons, I think my recent engagement at Baltimore and Washington was as plea sant as any I have had.I appeared four times in each place, and we had grand audiences.The receipts\u2014if that is not tco sordid to speak of\u2014were as large as those of my first week in New York\u2014upward of $13,-000 I am told.PITTSBURG NOT IN FAVOR.\u201cAnd now, since you have asked me my moat pleasant experience,\u201d continued Mrs.Langtry, \u201cI am going to volunteer my most unpleasant.Have you been in Pittsburg ?Yes.Then I\u2019m sure you won\u2019t think ;it strange if I say that I dislike Pittsburg from top to toe and all the way through.What a poky, dirty little town it is î I wouldn't mind that so much, however, but something was so\u2014so\u2014oh, I don\u2019t know that I can express it very clearly ; but I know that it was a great relief to leave it.The hotel was bad, the theatre poor, the audience\u2014I know it sounds harsh, and possibly I misjudged them\u2014I suppose, anyhow, the people don\u2019t care for my opinion of them, but they did seems so ineffably stupid.But there, I didn\u2019t mean to say so much.It is true, however, that while I have au urgent invitation from the manager of the theatre to go back there it is the only place where I have been that I have no desire to revisit.\u201d \u201cYou are to make another tour, then, next season ?\" said the reporter.\u201cOh, yes ; when my two weeks are ended here I go for a short tour on my own account.Then next season I open in Montreal on the 29th of October.I will then come here, and and afterwards probably make a three months\u2019 tour in Europe.Yes, \u201d she went on when the suggestion was made, \u201cI rather think I am \u2018in tor it now.\u2019 I will probably remain on the stage.I like it.I enjoy the travelling about and the constant change of scene \u201d HER GALATEA NOT COPIED.\u201cHas your conception of the character of Galatea been modelled after its representation by any other actress ?\" \u201cWhatever merit or demerit my delineation may have will be entirely my own.\" have stud ed the part earnestly.My representation of it will differ somewhat from that generally given.I know that Mary Anderson, for instance, for whom, by the bye, I bave the highest regard, although I have never seen her, makes the character statuesque throughout.Without meaning to criticise, it yet seems to me that once the statue is imbued with life it is no longera statue.It is not the feet alone that are given life, bat the whole body, and there doee not seem to me any reason why the limbs should be flesh and the garments and headgear remain marble.\" Wnen the manner of her treatment by the press was alluded to Mrs.Langtry seemed about to become serious, but suddenly broke into a hearty laugh.\u201cThere is no denying the fact,\" said she, \u201cthat there are many enterprising gentlemen connected with tha newspapers.I have more than once enjoyed the luxury of reading a column or more of an interview with myselt, not one word of which I had uttered.The last time, strange to say, was in staid and proper Baltimore.I wouldn\u2019t mind it so mnch if they did not make me say such silly, foolish things.In the last case, for instance, I go into lapturoua transports over the beautiful ladies of Baltimore, and all sorts of silly gush is put into my mouth.In one place 1 am made to express a desire to rush out before the footlights and clasp some of them to my heart ! No matter how mnch I might think of them, I would not speak so absurdly as that.However,\" smiling pleasantly, \u201cI\u2019ve got quite used to it now.\u201d CERTAIN NEWSPAPER COMMENTS ANSWERED.\u201cYou have been somewhat hashly criticised by some of the newspapers ?\" pursued the reporter, Toe smile disappeared.Mrs.Langtry pause» 1 a moment before speaking.\\V hen she did speak it was earnestly and impressively.\u2018T have avoided responding to the com mente of the press,\u201d she said.\u201cPossibly my silence has been construed by some into an acknowledgment of the justice of the criticisms.It was simply a sense of dignity that restraiueil me.Then, too, I reasoned that I was a public character and liable to be attacked\u2014not, however, to have such cruel things said of me os have been said.However, I could have patiently endured it had I alone been attacked.But I do want to say that I thiuK the manner in which my sister-in-law.Miss Langtry, has been spoken of is»shameful and unmanly to the Last degree.It is said that we quarrelled and parted because of tbe attentions she received from a gentleman.It is false.It was at my suggestion that she remained at Toronto, where we both have friends.It was agreed between us that she was to return home, because, in the first place, sho was homesick, and because, speaking candidly, she did not like America.The gentleman to whose care I confided her was an old and intimate friend of both.\\Ye often visited his home and were on the closest terms of friendship with his wife.They came to New York to take the steamer ; but, if you remember, tbe \u2018City of Richmond\u2019 was disabled and they were compelled to romain here for a few days.When I came here I, of course, visited them, and then it was said there bad been a \u2018reconciliation.\u2019 Oh, it was shameful, the way In which that poor girl was maligned !

if he proved their guilt he was acquitted, but if he failed to do that he was immeaiately hanged.Now the term \u201capprover\u201d is obsolete ; \u201cQueen\u2019s evnlence\u201d has been substituted.Carey as Queen\u2019s evidence is not entitled to acquittal as a right.It is customary, however, to extend to informers of this class a free pardon as a favor.Something in the shape of a bargain is made between them and the Crown before they are placed on the witness stand.In a suit for separation the counsel for the wife pleaded, among other motives, the incompatibility of temper, and began to traee a portrait of the husband : \u201cBrutal, violent, anger-\u201d The lawyer for the husband, in his turn, painted the wife : \u201cWicked, violent, peevish.\u201d \u201cExcuse me,\u201d said the judge, iuterrupting the advocate, \u201cgentlemen, where do you find the incompatibility of temper ?\" \u201cI like your new hat very much,\u201d he said.\u201cIt\u2019s chic;
