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)

manhood.It is excessively restless.It is disturbed by vague ambitions, by thirst for action, by longings for excitement, by irrepressible desires to touch life in manifold ways.If you, mothers, rear yonr sons so that theii homes are associated with the impression of natural instincts, you will be sure to throw them in the society that in some measure can supply the need of their hearts.They will not go to the public houses at first for love of liquor\u2014very few people like the taste of liquor ; they go for the animated and hilarious companionship they find there, whioh they discover does so much to repress the disturbing restlessness in their breasts.See to it, that their homes compete with public places in attractiveness.Open your blinds by day and Light bright fires at night.Illuminate your rooms.Hang pictures upon the wall.Put books and newspapers upon your tables.Have music and entertaining games.Banish demons of dullness and apathy that have so long ruled in your household, and bring in mirth and good cheer.Invent occupations for your sons.Stimulate their ambitions in worthy directions.While you make home their delight, fill them with higher purposes than mere pleasure.Whether they shall pass boyhood and enter upon manhood with refined tastes and noble ambitions depends on you.Believe it possible that, with exertion and right means, a mother may have more control over the destiny of her boys than any other influence whatever.\u2014 Ex.An old darky who was asked if, in his experience, prayer was ever answered, replied : \u201cWell, sah, some pra\u2019rs

their ammunition, arms and baggage.After resting Gonzales\u2019s forces occnpied Huacho.A Doomed Community.THE LAST SURVIVORS OF A LARGE SOCIALISTIC FAMILY OF 800.Probably the nearest approach so the ideal existence of Sleepy Hollow, aa described by Washington Irving, is attained by the Economite or Harmony Society at their village in Beaver County, Pennsylvania.The community forms one large family, whose wants are all provided for by the patriarcnal heads, Messrs.Henrici and Lena ; aud all the necessaries of life in the form of food, clothing, fuel, light, etc., are dealt out with a liberal hand.Money is no object to them as individuals, but there is in the common treasury at all times a very large amount.It is probable that some of them do not poesess a dollar once a year, and yet are far more happy and contented than in struggling in the outer world for wealth or a bare subsistence.While they possess many skilled artisans and handicraftsmen, their work is chiefly pastoral, and as peaceful and uneventful as it is possible to conceive.While in this society the principal of communism rules, it is of a far different kind from that advocated by the foreign blatherskites who flaunt the red flag and cry \u2018Down with the rich\u2019 in our Eastern cities.The Ecouomites hold their property as sommou, it is true, but they earn it bsfore they hold it, and are scrupulous in their honesty and regard for the rights of others.Such societies would be a bpnefit to the country in some respects, as they are peaceful, industrious, and frugal, and great creators of wealth.Unfortunately, however, this the only on* of the kind will soon become a thing of the past, as it receives no new members, and of theSOO who settled in Beaver County in 1824, leu than twenty now remain, nearly all of whom are men aud woman well on in the sere and yellow leaf of life.When You reel Blue and your back aches, and year head feels heavy, and you wake au refreshed iu the morning

Oct.3\u2014The Bribery Commission I resumed this morning.Before calling wit-?eues, the Hon.Mr.Fraser asked for the bill of particulars promised by Mr.Meredith yesterday.Mr.Macmaster handed in the bill, which named Mowat, Fraser, Hardy and Pardee as having conspired to entrap Bunting, Wilkimson and others by inducing members of the House to appear desirous of being bribed.Hon.Mr.Hardy was then examined.He said that early in the semion he had been informed by Meurs.Cucaden and McKim that they had been approached by certain partira to desert the Government.Witness told them to go on and probe the matter to the bottom.Witnera thought they were justified in obtaining all the evidence pouible.It was quite likely Balfour waa told to go aud tee Bunting and the others were told to go and see what the bribers would do.The Government employed detectives who watehed Balfour and others throughout the seuiou to see they did not go back on their party.Wit-neu denied that members of the Government had tried to entrap any body as stated in Mr, Meredith\u2019s charge.Mr.Lera, M.P.P., being examined, testified that he had been approached by Mr.Caldwell, M.P.P., and asked why did he not support the Government aud if he did be might receive some timber limits.Mr.Caldwell, M.P.P., was then called and denied having approached Mr.Lees and had never made application for timber limits from the Government.At Mr.Macmaster\u2019s request the Commission adjourned fora short time.At the afternoon session of the Bribery Commission, Hon.Mr.Pardee qraa examined at considérable length by Mr.Dalton McCarthy, Q.C., as to his interviews with McKim.He told him and other members when attempts to bribe were made to let Wilkinson go on and see how far he would go ; that they should take the money and then hand it to the Speaker.In reference to Bunting, he said he only wanted to catch him if he were guilty of approaching members, as Bunting should then suffer the penalty as well as Wilkinson.There were no hard words between the Liberal members and himself as to the timber policy of the Government.They had simply gone to him stating Kirkland's views and asking what the policy of the Government was ; they did n'ot argue for Kirkland.He told them the adoption of Kirkland\u2019* views would be ruinous to the country.None ot the members had been converted to Kirkland\u2019s views.althoughhe had been informed Kirkland was lavishing and proffering money.Mr.Lyon had held Kirkland\u2019s views all along for the Algoma district.Lyon might not have mentioned them till that time.Dowling and Balfour refused to sign the \u201cRound Robin\u201d and witness afterwards learned that it had been signed by McKim A Lyon.He was quite satisfied McKim never intended to vote again the Government, In answer to Mr.Blake, witness denied the truth of Mr.Meredith\u2019s charge.Mr.Fenton, County Crown Attorney, was examined and gave evidence regarding the papers found on Wilkinson and Kirkland the night of their arrest.He had visited the Agnes street Police Station shortly after the incarceration of the prisoners and saw the papers in custody of Inspector Ward.Witness acknowledged that the information which he drew up on Monday morning was from instructions given by the Provincial Secretary on Sunday.Witness prepared information which was sworn by the Government Detective Murray.The Coart adjourned until to-morrow morning.SPURTING NEWS.THE TURF.Chicago, Oct.3\u2014This was the opening day of the Chicago Driving Park.The first race between \u2018Fannie

was the idea he conveyed to English-speaking Ontario about the position and prospects of the English-speaking minority in Quebec.e are not concerned to discuss whether this is or is not a correct view of the situation, but wo do think that it is of vital importance for somebody to explain to the people of Ontario the irreconcilable ditlerence between Mr.Mercier\u2019s banquet speech, showing how profoundly his party was devoted to the interests of the Englisn-speaking minority, and the utterances of the two leading organs of the party of which Mr.Mercier is the recognized chief, assailing the Local Government for appointing two Englishmen to conduct an important case before the Supreme Court.This is a specimen of Mowing hot and cold which the English-speaking population of the Dominion will not bo slew to appreciate at its proper value.We have no wish whatever to discuss the question in its political aspects, because the special significance of the matter is of infinitely greater importance, and, if the Liberal party can have its way, practically amounts to a fiat of exclusion against English lawyers, debarring them from every position in the Province.The general and particular qualifications of the two gentlemen assailed render any other conclusion impossible.If the Liberal leader has one set of opinions for Ontario and his organs a totally different set for Quebec, it is of some interest to the legal profession to know where they stand, and that so far at all events as the Province can do it they will not obtain any business in the Supreme Court.We fear our good friends are over-doing their English anti pathy or showing their hand too soon.TsTOTICE.HE UNDERSIGNED will nit be responsible for any debts contracted by their Crews, without written order

4.1884.BLOWING HOT AND COLD.In the supreme interests of this Province it is desirable that the two nationalities which are coinheritors of its fortunes should five together, not alone on terms of friendahipand good will, but with an honest desire to be as helpful to each other as possible.For weal or woo the destinies of the Provinces are linked together, and while the English element is in a minority in Quebec, it is no less true that the French element is in a minority in the Dominion.So that after all we have both something to lose should we foolishly attempt to trea each other with injustice, or do that which is not less reprehensible, namely, to speak in such a way as to create the impression that we have the disposition to be unjust if we only had the power, and that our acts were not likely to, in some shape, recoil upon ourselves.We are led to make these observations in consequence of the tone adopted by at least two leading French journals when discussing the fact that the Government had employed two English lawyers to argue the license question before .the Supreme Court-It is only reasonable to suppose that a paper such as L'Electeur does not raise an issue on such a comparatively unimportant matter without due considéra tion, and without having some very definite object in view ; it is just possible that we may have our suspicions as to what our contempory is after, but for the present we prefer joining issue on the main question.Such a discussion on such a topic is a deliberate challenge to the English-speaking people of the Dominion, and waiving all reference to the bad taste displayed by our esteemed confreres, we hold, that there was good and sufficient reason for the appointment of both the gentlemen who had charge of our interests in the Supreme Court.The Hon.Mr.Church stands in the very front rank of his profession, and was from every point of view the ablest man for the position, even if there had not been special reasons for his appointment as counsel.Do our contemporaries forget that Mr.Church wa* Attorney General of this Province ?Or, that he has again au I again devoted himself zealously to the promotion of Provincial interests \\ They have doubtless forgotten, or possibly do not care to remember.Nor is this all.A still stronger ground for justifying his appointment is at hand.When the Quebec License Act of 7S, was adopted it was with his concurrence and sanction as Attorney-General, and surely having studied the question in all its bearings from that day to this he was of all others, the one best qualified to deal with it before the Supreme Court.But now a word about Mr.Archibald, who was employed to assist Mr.Church.It is tolerably well known to everybody except L'Electeur that Mr.Archibald occupies a very distinguished place among the younger members of the Montreal Bar ; however there was a special and to our minds conclusive reason why the choice should have fallen upon him.Mr.Archibald happens to be a lecturer on Constitutional Law in the Law Faculty of McGill College and in this capacity he lias made a special study of the respective rights of the Federal and Local Govern, meats to deal with this particular form of taxation.Therefore, having regard to all the circumstances of the case, the action of the Government evinced an honest intention to get the best available talent to protect our interests, whatever they are in this matter, and our Liberal friends evince little sense and less patriotism in their present course of illiberality.But we have not done with the matter yet.When the Hon.Mr.Mercier went up to Toronto the other day to represent the Quebec Liberals at the Mowat banquet, our readers will perhaps remember that he had many pleasant things to say and many wise suggestions to make ; ho was listened to as he deserved to be, with marked attention, qo small measure of applause greeted his friendly speech.He appears tc have great stress upon the fact that the English people had for many years past given their sympathy and adhesion to the Conservative party, and Mr Mercier ing Austria-Hungary, Brazil, Columbus, Costa Rica, Denmark, France, Germany, Great Britain, Guatemala, Hawaii, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, Paraguay, Russia, San Domingo, San Salvador, Spain, Sweden and Norway, Switzerland, Turkey, Venezuela and the United States.The largest number of foreign delegates was sent by Great Britain, four prominent scientists representing that country.The delegates from the United States consists of Rear Admiral C.R.P.Rodgers, L.M.Rutherford, W.F.Allen, Commander W.T.Sampson and Professor Cleveland Abbe.Among the prominent scientists from abroad are Mr.Yansson, from France ; Mr.Hickeldoyn, from Germany ; Captain Sir F.G.0.Evans and Professor Y.C.Adams, from Groat Britain ; Mr.Miles Roch, from Guatemala ; Major General Stebuitzka, from Russia, and Professor Hirsch, from Switzerland.QUEEN VICTORIAS

politics.Through her mediation the quarrel of Lords and Commons is likely to be closed.\u201cIn the early years of her reign the Queen was disposed to meddle with statecraft.She used all her efforts to discourage the Spanish marriage plot of Louis Phi lippe.She dismissed Lord Palmerston because he fashioned his foreign policy without her advice.\u201c With Prince Albert\u2019s death her poli

enquiry into the charges brought by Mr.Martel against Mr.Mercier, to the effect that he had accepted $5,000 as an inducement to aban don the petition of the disqualification of Mr.Mousseau, in Quebec on Tuesday last, a number of prominent Liberals were examined who declared that the general character and reputation of Mr.Trudel, the chief of the water police, were bad, and that they would not believe him upon oath.It is difficult to understand the motive for this testimony.The charge of Mr.Martel is proven by Mr.Mercier\u2019s own testimony, he having admitted that he received $5,000 as the condition of abandoning the cise against Mr Mousseau, less than half of which would pay the legitimate costs.Mr.Trudel, who paid the money, gave some interesting details it is true.For instance he said :\u2014 \u201cTowards the end of August, I do not quite remember whether Mr.Mercier asked me to come up, or whether I was there of my own accord for other matters ; however it was, I was here on the 29th.I went to see Mr.Mercier as I never failed to do when in Montreal.Mr.Mercier said to me, \u2018Trudel I am in a desperate position and I wish you to save me.\u2019 I replied, \u2018You have only to say how I can help you and I will do so.Sir.Mercier then pointed out how I could be useful to him.He proposed that I should take back from him a part of the money and.to give him a letter in which 1 would say that the accusations which had been made against him were completely false, and that I had only given to Mr.Mercier the amount of his costs.I said to him, \u2018I am astonished to hear you ask me such a thing.Really I do not think that you can ask me to do so.I should pass as having kept the money ; I would be pronounced a robber of the amount which I had paid.\u2019 He replied, \u2018You are not a public man, and I am.In the near TPox* sstlo May ».1M4.Toy 331*« ORI Z ASa.AC T E EMULSIVE LOTION Whlteos m invigorates the skin.Does away with

issue royal war rants, to go through the formality of sum-\tj ^ ^ in a ition to repay you.- moning new\ttender ^ I replied to him, \u2018It is impossible for me to consent to that ; if there is no other means of aiding you I am not able to do it Tell me if I can be useful to you otherwise than by making a scoundrel of myself and I will do it.\u2019 He said, \u2018What difference hospitalities to foreign potentates.Her present action makes it certain that the quarrel about the Franchise Bill moved her deeply.She saw that the House of Lcr la was in serious danger.She read of tae clamor with which Mr.Gladstone, as Minister, who had been gradually divining in popularity, was received in Scotland, She may even have been conscious that her throne was totter-ing.\u201c Many ages are likely to pass before the British monarchy dies.But, like the House of Lords, it stands wholly on its traditions, and any revolution which overthrows the one will severely shake the other\u201d To all who followed Mr.Gladstone\u2019s recent travels through Scotland, it will be evident that Her Majesty has not undertaken any \u201c mediation\u201d without the full knowledge and approbation ofherjeonstitu-tional advisers.\u201cMr.Gladstone foreshadowed the present result in his Scotch speeches.At Aberdeen he said Tt is, gentlemen, by a united action on your part\u2014a constitutional and an orderly, but a perfectly determined action\u2014that we shall, as I trust, achieve the purpose w® have in view.I rejoice to see that the working classes of Aberdeen speak of an unfortunate vote on the Franch'ae Bill as given by a majority of the House of Lords, for they know that there are many members of the House of Lords than whom there are no better friends to the cause of liberty.It is no desire of mine to .carry the public of this country into the discussion of wide constitutional and organic changes if it can be avoided, and I yet hope it may be avoided.There is an opportunity yet remaining, and I look with hope to the wisdom which has on various occasions characterized the House of Lords to recover the consequences of the unfortunate step of last July.Gentlemen, you may rely upon it that on my part and on the part of my colleagues no effort will be wanting.NV e sliall not in this matter leave you in the lurch.\u2019 \u201cAt Brechin he said :\u2014\u2018I earnestly hope that it is not too late, and I believe it is not too late, to retrieve the grave error that has been committed.It is necessary for them to examine a little into the wisdom of the advice given by their leader.Allusion has been made just now to a man from whom I profoundly differed upon a thousand occasions\u2014I mean the late Lord Beacousfield ; but I beai?to Lord Beaconsfield this testimony, that if bis life had been spared and he had at this moment a seat in the House of Lords and been the leader of the Conservative party, his acute and discriminating eye and his power of weighing the chances and prospects of political contiict would have prevented him from being a party to so rash and reckless a proceeding, and would have saved you, gentlemen, the trouble of listening to me to-night.The Franchise Bill would have been the law of the land, and having become law, I believe it would have given universal satisfaction.\u2019 THE CHOLERA.We are hearing less of the ravages of the cholera than we did some time ago, but we are not at all sanguine that wo have heard the last of it by any means.A contemporary computes that up to the present .time the cholera has slain 13,500 persons in Europe.This in less than four months.Nearly one-half of these deaths occurred in the Province of Naples, although the pestilence first fell upon the Mediterranean cities of France.Owing to the ignorance and supersition of the people, and accumulation of filth in places where they live, the disease appears to have run its course in cities and villages alike, and to have defied the labours of the authorities.In the last week it has been found in three additional departments of France, and it is now knocking at the gates of Paris.Deaths have occurred in five suburban localities north of that city since the 14th inst.The horrible condition of the River Seine invites pestilence.The progress of the disease in Europe should cause people on this continent\u2014especially the inhabitants of cities\u2014to put their houses in order, and the authorities should spare no effort in the work of excluding infected cargoes and passengers.of the first witnesses examined in this case, and who, it will be remembered, was the gentleman selected by Mr.Mercier as intermediary to induce the chief of the river police to save him by writing to him a falsehood.Here is the evidence of Mr.Langelier :\u2014 \u201c Ques.Mr.Benjamin Trudel was named chief of the river police, at Quebec, by the Liberal party ?\u201cri/ie.Yes, and I contributed largely to his nomination.I ought to say that I have never repented having done so ; we have never had a better chief of the river police than him ; very active, very intelligent.As for me, I have never had to complain ; I have always found him most devoted, most loyal, and most faithful, and 1 would require the strongest proof to lielieve any accusations of want of truthfulness that might be brought against him.\u201c Ques.It frequently occurs that employees of.the government are entrusted with delicate missions ?\t\u2022 \u201cAns.I cannot say that it frequently happens that the regulation of matters, delicate missions, are entrusted to employees of the government, but I should say that it has frequently occurred in his case, because he is known as a remarkably active and intelligent man.I wish to add a word in relation to a question put to me yesterday, and which I did not fully answer.Mr.Amyot asked me yesterday if Mr.Trudel had not requested me to put that letter in my vault.As a matter of fact Mr.Trudel did make this request.He asked me to keep this letter ; it was at my house\u2014I thought it was a telegram\u2014so that, as he said, he could show it to those who might pretend that he had kept the $5,000.\u201d That is certainly much more valuable testimony than that offered on Tuesday I last.We may take occasion to point out the intimacy which existed between these same liberals and Mr.Trudel, which may fairly be taken as additional evidence that this attempt to discredit his testimony is the last resort of a discredited and disreputable political leader.D.S.RICKABY, -MANUFACTURER OF SUPERIOR- OVEN WIRE MATTRASSES.THE PRIME MERIDIAN.A vary important international and scientific conference is just now in session in the city of Washington, for the purpose of mutual agreement upon a universal longitude for the first meridian.Wo learn from a Washington despatch to the N.Y.Herald that the American delegation is favorably disposed toward the adoption by the Conference ot the longitude of Greenwich.Should any other longitude be adopted by the Conference, the amount of inovnvenience caused thereby will necessarily be very great.The delegates to the Conference auembled at the Department of State in Washington on Wednesday and «re introduced to Secretary Freling-huysen and Secretary Gresham, who chanced to be in the department.There were forty delegates in number, represent- do it make with this band of wretches ; they would do it themselves,\u2019 to which I answered, \u2018would you put me on the same footing as they are V \u201d Mr.Trudel thereupon left Mr.Mercier, and meeting him later the latter said to him, \u201cThink of it Trudel,\u201d but Trudel, however much he may have thought of it, left town without doing it.Is it to discredit the report of this conversation that Mr.Mercier summoned the band of Liberals in Quebec to swear that they would not believe the chief of the water police, their old confidant and friend, upon his oath ?If so, it was hardly worth while doing it, as Mr.Merrier has given the most undoubted evidence of the probable truth of Mr.Trlidel\u2019s story.The conversation is stated to have taken place in Montreal on the 29th August, and on the 4th September the Hon.Mr.Langelier sent for Mr.Trudel to go to his house to show him a letter he had received from Mr.Mercier, dated the 3rd September, and which was as follows :\u2014 \u201cThere is a rumour here that our friend Benjamin Trudel has given to my enemies a written statement, to the efiect that ho had paid me $5,000 to induce me to desist in the demand for the disqualification of Mousseau.I do not believe it, but as those people are capable of anything, even of forging the signature of Mr.Trudel, would you be good enough to see him and beg him to send me a letter to my address as near as possible in these terms ; \u201c\u2018A friend in Montreal informs me that your adversaries will produce at the meeting on Thursday a document signed by me stating that I bad given you $5,000 to induce you to abandon the demand for the disqualification of Mousseau.If such a document is produced, it will simply be a falsehood, for I never signed, and I never authorized any person to sign for me or to make aucji a declaration which would be only an atrocious calumny of your enemies.* \u201cI pray you try to obtain this letter from our friend Trudel, but I know that my enemies will try to ruin me on Thurs day, and that they will stop at nothing.\u201cBe good enough, therefore, to tele graph me to-morrow if you have succeeded with Trudel : give no name, I will understand.\u201cIf he objects only to the form, change it or modify it to suit his taste, provided it U essentially the same.You will easily understand that for me it is a matter of life or death.\u201cY'ours truly, (Signed), \u201cHonork Mükciku.\u201d It will be seen that the demand in this letter is precisely the same as that which Mr.Trudel swe irs was made upon him personally by Mr.Mercier.It was a request that Mr.Trudel would write him a falsehood, for there is now no question tliat Mr.Mercier had received the $5,000 ; that much ho lias admitted uuder oath himself.The letter bears a singular resemblance -to Mr Blaine\u2019s letter to Mr.Fisher, the publication of which produced such 9 sensation a few days ago in the United States, and the frantic efforts to induce Mr.Trudel to give him a written statement, which he knew to be false, indicate how desperately the leader of the opposition realized the enormity of his own offence in making an election petition the instrument of levying blackmail upon his political opponents, Mr.Trudel refused to give the letter, but that did not prevent Mr.Mercier fronj putting a bold trout upon the matter.In an interview witha Star reporter, published in that paper on the 11th September, 1883, in relation to the charge published in La Minerve of that day, that he had received $5,000 from Mr.Trade!, after a statement that he intended to prosecute that paper for libel, we have the following :\u2014 \u2018\u2022\u2018But,\u2019 queried the reporter, *\u2018what have you to say about the assertion that Mr.Trudel paid you the $5,000 T 1 \u201cThis is the first time I have heard of it,\u2019 replied Mr.Mercier.\u201d We should, perhaps, not be very much surprised at this statement.In the $3,800 case, we remember that Mr.Mercier, in a letter to Mr.Hsfirier, stated that he knew nothing about it, and could not, therefore, have paid that gentleman any money ; that the very next day after the appearance of that letter, Messrs.Thibaudeau and Ge-offrion published letters stating that Mr.Mercier not only knew all about the transaction, but that it was carried out at his urgent request, and that the money was paid to him personally with the understanding that he should give some of it to Mr.Poirier ; and that a day or two afterwards Mr.Mercier himself wrote a long letter acknowledging that his first statement was a falsehood ! This is a very similar case, seeing that Mr.Mercier denied knowledge of a payment to him which he has now admitted on oath he had received, and which ho was actually at the time frantically imploring Mr.Trudel to lie him out or, as it was with him, \u201ca question of life or death.\u201d It was hardly worth while of the leader of the opposition to attempt to demolish testimony, which his own admissions and letters, written at the time, proved to have been absolutely correct.As an offset to the testimony of so many leading liberals of Quebec us have been brought up to swear that they would not believe Mr.Trudel on oath, it may be worth while to give the testimony of the Hon.Francois Langelier, the leader of the party in the ancient capital, who was one THE SOUDAN CAMPAIGN.Reported Recall of Gen.Wolseley.BERBER RECAPTURED GORDON.BY GEN.Fliglitof the Rebels and Inhabitants.SHENDY ALSO DESERTED.London, Oct.3.\u2014An Alexandria despatch says Gen.Wolseley has been ordered by telegraph to bo in London by the end of October.The command of the troops in Egypt will be assumed by Gen.Stephenson.Sir Evelyn Baring telegraphs that Gordon, after bombarding Berber tor some time, effected an entry and recaptured the place.The rebels and the hostile inhabitants fle 1.The fall of Berber will enable Col.Kitchener to reach Gordon from Dongola and ascertain his wishes regarding the Nile expedition.The conference may result in the abandonment of the expedition.A reliable messenger reports ho saw Gordon with fonr steamers towing several boats.Gordon arrived at Sbendy and found the place deserted.He posted a proclamation offering to pardon the people.After attaching a proclamation to the trees, Gordon started for Berber.The day after his arrival the General placed two steamers in the middle of the river and opened a bom* bardment on the town.The bombardment lasted until late in the afternoon, Gordon afterwards proceeded in the direction of Djalizeen.ft is rumored that Mohamed Elh Ther, El MahdTi's Ameer at Berber, was killed.Other reports state that he escaped and removed the treasure to Kerpi.Subsequently Gordon thoroughly chastised the inhabitants of Djalizeeu.It is stated the whole population of Berber fled.Cairo, Oct.3\u2014Tho report that Wolseley has been recalled is officially denied.The rebels succeeded in removing the treasure from Berber.Irish Nationalists.Dublin, Oct.1, 1884.\u2014A meeting of the Irish National League was held here to-day.Mr.Timothy Harrington, Secretary of the League, stated that owing to the sm&llness of the subscriptions received the League had decided to affiliate with no branches sending an amount under £5.The League, he said, had received no help from America for some time, and had to rely on Ireland for the aid necessary to carry on its work.It is remarked that a son of O\u2019Donovan Rossa, who is in Paris, boasts that he brought with him 50,000\u2018.with which to buy dynamite to he sent to England.A Newport belle married the man who rescued her from drowning.This should be a warning to youug men to keep away from the seashore.Er pa\u2019s Cocoa.\u2014Gratbpul and Corportino.\u2014\u201cBy a thorough knowledge of the natural laws which govern the operations of digestion and nutrition, and by a careful ap|ftication of the tine properties of well-selected Cocoa, Mr.Epps has provided our breakfast tables with a delicately flavoured beverage which may save us many heavy doctors\u2019 Dills.It is by the judicious use of such articles ot diet that a constitution may be gradually built up until strong enough to resist every tendency to disease.Hundreds of subtle maladies are floating around it ready to attack wherever there is a weak point.We may escape many a fatal shaft by coping ourselves well fortified with pure blood and a properly nourished frame.\u2019 \u2014Civil Service Made simply with boiling water or milk.Sold only in Packets and Tins (41K and th) by Grocers, labelled\u2014\u201cJamks Epps ft Co., Hounnupathic Che'n'stH, London, Eng.\u201d October 16.1883.t.thftsr.t 40w.clft.w Further Novelties !

Euro-pean authors, its choice art pictures would du ortfolioa and its humorous cuts are the inants, wore regulation gaiters, stand-up col-ar of considerable dimensions, while his tout-ensemble was completed by a handsome black ¦ilk hat which he nervously bandied during his examination.On the whole his \u2018get-up,\u2019 from an English point of view, was not very frequently seen on the streets of American cities.After Mr.Driscoll had laid the case before the Conrt, the complainant took the stand and recited the troubles to the somewhat unsympatbizing and jocular listeners.It appeared that during the past summer Mr.Hamilton has been subjected to considerable annoyance and insult from a group ol young men who generally congre- fated in the vicinity of the Government uildinga on St.Gabriel street.The particu lar grievance, however, which he desired to lay before the Conrt, occurred on Friday, the 26th ultimo.When quietly proceeding along the street he encountered three young men, and had walked a short distance when he overheard the remark'There goes the dude.' Believing that the insult was meant for himself he deliber ately retraced his steps to observe a member of the group sprioging through the window into the office of the Government buildings.Suspecting that he had discovered the offender, he entered, and from a conversation which occurred with the clerks learned that the guilty party waa Bricault.Iu so far as he was concerned be was unable to account for this act of hostility except that it was undertaken through a spirit of envy or jealousy; again perhaps it was due to the objaction of the accused to plaintiff's wearing a white helmet.The action of the clerk, who disappeared when the insult occurred, he could only ascribe to fear, A cross-examination of the witness waa then made by Mr.Leclaire, who acted counsel for the defendant.'Whatdo you understand by the term dado'?\u2019 asked the lawyer.\u2018Oh, but you see, aw, aw, I am not here to give definitions, but to relate facts.\u2019 This reply on the part of Mr.Hamilton created much merriment, even the Court be mg compelled to smile.When silence was restored His Honor desired to know the exact meaning of the term After a little thought the witness said that iu his opinion a dude was a loud, vulgarly overdressed being who fruitlessly attempts to impersonate a born gentleman.Hia walk waa always the key to his identity.The dude usually ambled along in an absurd and ridi culous manner, the effect being produced by the style in which he extended his arms.Mr.Chas.Doucet, of the Crown office, in the coures of his evidence, thought that a dude was not a contemptuous word.Another witness testified that there waa nothing iu the appearance of Mr.Hamilton to entitle him to such a compliment.He believed that she plaintiff dressed as an English gentleman ufevery sense of the word Mr.Fred.Colson, of the QazeUc, was next called to the box.He related his experience of dudes in general.They were, he believed a class of male beings who paid undue and unmeesaary attention to their outward ap pear «mes, and to be called one is certainly decided expression of contempt.In regard to the question as to whether Mr.Hamilton would pass for a dude, he declined to reply.The smile the witness wore, however, left the Conrt to draw its own inference.After the examination of several other wit nesses.His Honor delivered his judgment He dismissed the case and quoted eminent authorities on which his decision was based It had been clearly proven that the defendant had not been guilty of loitering or obstructing the footpath, from the fact that he waa seated in an open window.Mr.Hamilton, who ap peared to take the result bravely, will probably carry tbe case to a higher court.* Round Quebec, the Canadian Goldfinch seldom puts iu au ajipcarauce

of this year that de Montis was brought to Geneva, but before .leaving Wiesbaden he had confessed to the theft.He got possession of Schaeffer\u2019s key for a short time, and obtained one like it at the Rue du Rhone, with which he opened the safe.He was convicted on his own confession, and sentenced to seven years\u2019 reclusion.Eva Kopp, who is a German subject, waa found guilty at Straaburg of complicity in the theft and receiving stolen goods, and condemned to six months\u2019 imprisonment.A SWISS SENSATION.CLEVER DIAMOND THIEF CAPTURED AND CONVICTED.{London Times ) A rather remarkable trial haa j ust come to pass at Geneva.It concerned a once mysterious rubbery which took place more than a year ago, and involved a perfectly innocent man in a good deal of trouble.At.the beginning of June, 1883, there ar rived at the Hotel du Lac, Geneva, Spaniard, about 30 years of age, of the name of Isolas do Montis.He was ac companieoby a young woman who passed as his wife and bore his name.In point of fact, however, thgj were unmarried and her name was Eva Kopp.They lived Seat style, spent much money, and De ontis spoke largely and vaguely of his Ïreat fortune and distinguished family.le made friends with the hotel secretary M.Schaeffer, to whom he promised to lenci half a million of francs to set up as hotel-keeper on his own account- De Montis had many diamonds and much jewellery, He said he carried them instead of circular notes, and when he wanted money he would sell some of them to one of the jewellers of the town.On one occasion he made an excursion to Evian, and on his return he said that he had lost heavily at baccarat in the Casino.A few days later he asked the secretary to procure him some diamond earrings, which he wished to present to his wife.On this Schaeffer spoke to Messrs.Zeutler & Co.and they sent two sets, worth 4,000f., for the inspection of the wealthy Spaniard.After they had been inspected the secre tary put the things in his safe, and the two went out together and spent the even ing at a cafe.Before going to bed Schaeffer took the precaution to open the safo and see that the earrings were all right.At 7.30 the next morning, (July 21) de Montis and his mistress left for Basle via Neuchâtel.At 9 o\u2019clock the secretary wanted to open the safe, but HIS KEY WOULD NOT ACT, and after a great many fruitless trials locksmith was called in, and he with some difficulty forced the lock.The earrings were missing, but it was quite clear that neither the safe itself nor the drawer which the valuables were placed had been opened by violence.Besides the gems the thief had taken 6,000f.in cash.Suspi cion naturally fell on do Montis and his companion, and M.Spahlinger, proprietor of the hotel, and M.Muller, police commissioner, immediately set off in pursuit of them.They were tracked to Wiesbaden, arrested, and searched.In possessiôn of de Montis were found l,900f.in Swiss and French bank notes, the receipts of a registered letter despatched to Eva Kopp\u2019s sister, at Lausanne, and in the lady\u2019s box were found a sum of 200f.in gold and three ser viettes belonging to the Hotel du Lac Both warmly protested their innocence and de Montis was kept in prison, but the woman was not detained, and M.Spah linger and M.Muller returned to Geneva.The singular circumstance in which the robbery was committed, the facts that the safe must have been opened with a key, his intimacy with de Montis, and the failure to find anything in the Spaniard1! possession, incompatible with the plea of innocence, led almost necessarily to the inference that Schaeffer had either himself taken the diamonds and the money or con nived at their abstraction.This was the opinion of the police, and though HE STRONGLY PROTESTED HIS INNOCENCE and pointed out that de Montis had every opportunity of taking a model of the key and fabricating a duplicate, the secretary was arrested and formally accused of the crime.Meanwhile the Federal Govern ment took steps to obtain the Spaniard extradition, and though they succeeded m the end, they met with many delays and considerable difficulty.The authorities of Wiesbaden were prosecuting him for a robbery committed in prison.He stole some poison from the dispensary, as he afterwards avowed, for the purpose of ridding himself of4he Swiss officers into whose custody he expected to be given.Then the Spanish Government wanted him on a charge of embezzling public money, and he was suspected of having committed thefts at Valladolid, Mentone, Evian, and other places.When these facts were made known Schaeffer was liberated on bail.It wm only aftor do Montis had purged his misdeeds at Wiesbaden by an imprisonment of four months that his extradition was granted.In the meantime the Geneva police had ascertained that he had sent TWO OTHER REGISTERED LETTERS fcom Lausanne to his own address\u2014fotte A Fenian Funeral.How Denis Duggan, \u201cOf the Irish Army,\u2019\u2019 was Carried to the Grave.Dublin has been the scene of an extraordinary demonstration.Denis Duggan, Denis who died in that city recently, was an active member of the Fenians between 1861 and 1867.Ho waa one of those who participated in the rescue of James Stephens from Richmond Prison.He was one of the leaders at the Fenian rising in the County Dublin in 1867, but he escaped to America, and some years later he was one of those who successfully planned and aided in the liberation of the Fenian mili tary prisoners in Australia.Duggan returned to Ireland about t month since to die at home, being in a very advanced stage of consumption.The moment his death became known it was resolved to give him a lying in state and a public funeral.Accordingly the remains were removed to the Bricklayers\u2019 Hall Cuffe street\u2014though the deceased was i coach painter\u2014and thousands went thither to show their respect for the deceased.By announcement in the newspapers a public funeral was arranged for.The various trades, with their bands, assembled in Stephen's Green at ten o\u2019clock.The people having been duly marshalled, set out on the route usually adopted on the occasions of all great public displays in the city.First came a lad on horseback, in Emmet costume, including the green coat, cocked hat and top boots.Then followed about ten thousand persons in orderly array.Each contingent was headed by a band, of which there were at least twenty.The processionists, rule, wore crape armlets or green and crape rosettes.Each band played alter nately the \u2018Dead March\u2019 and the \u2018Adeste Fideles,\u2019 the drums being muffled.There was a solemn air about the procession that was very impressive.The corpse was drawn in an open hearse by four horses, some eight men acting as pallbearers.The coffin was enveloped at the foot by the American flag, and at the head by a green flag bearing a crownless harp.Upon the breastplate waa an inscription mentioning the age, place of birth and death of \u2018Captain Denis Duggan, of the United States Army,\u2019 and underneath were the words, \u2018And of the Irish Army Immediately following the hearee came two*men, one of them carrying the Ameri canlflag, and the other a green flag, both folded and shrouded in crape.Michael Davitt was one of the occupants of the carriage which came after the mourning coach.Mr.William O\u2019Brien M.P.,Mr.Leamy, M.P., and Mr.Me Mahon, M.P., represented the Irish Parliamentary party at the funeral, and there were two members of the Dublin Corpora tion in attendance.There was a great crush at the grave, but everything passed off quietly.Numbers of detectives were stationed along the route noting those who were participating in the procession.JUlTd
