The Quebec chronicle
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)

meetings will be the last vi the setres.At both meetingy Nr.Su.Juba will cont:nue his Wik va child study.But Not Bmart Enoushb for the Alderman.On Saturday evening Ald.Norris had à rather novel experience at his store on Palais street.He was seated in his private office with a friend wh?n he heard some one enter the store, and went out to ascertain what was wanted.Ie was con- {fronted hy a young lady who priced a number of jugs, etc., the prices of which she pretended were too high.After moving about for some time Mr.Norris, who had noticed three fancy invalide or sick cups standing beside each other on the shelf, was surprised to find that two of had disappeared.He did not pretend to know anything about it, however, but answered his customer's enquiries.Turning his head Mr.Norris was surprised to see another lady standing near by, not having heard a second party enter.She turned out to be a friend of the lady whom he was waiting upon.Finding that out he asked her if she found the price too high, etc., not being sure which of them had stolen the goods.\u2018The women finally turned to go, and Mr.Norris, who walked ahead of them, turned the key in the door.He then turned to the women and asked whichever one had taken the goods to kindly produce them.The woten denied very emn- phatically having taken anything, and threatened to have him up for defamation of character.Eeeing their attitude he threatened to telephone for the police and walked oVer to do r0.One of the women then called him back, and handed him the goods, offering at the same time to pay for them.This Mr.Norris aid was unnecessary, and turning towards his office, called his friend, Mr.Griffith, and showed him the goods, telling him that the women had stolen them.Mr.Grifith wantpd him to telephone for the police and lave them arrested, but he sajd that it would take up too much time \u2018going to court, etc.\u201d The ladies werp both well known, and ong of them is a married woman.7

that they were in doubt as to their rights under the Perlin Act of taking the initiative steps.The Consular Board summoned to their assistance the two treaty officiali\u2014the Chief .Justice and President of the mui 1 Council of Apia\u2014but with disastrous results.: \u2018The Municipal President, à Cerur-n claimed that he by viciue of Is office, alone wag entitled to guide \u2018Ja Samoan Government in suen à cris, a presension very warmly combatted by the British and Amécican Consuls.Article ¥., sec.5.of tiv Rorlin Act Municipal Presiden Dares is arçu- ment upon the wo \u201cfle tay ud- vise the Bamoan Government when occasion requires,\u201d to which the Consuls retorted with the qualifying ron- text, \u2018but\u2019 always in accurdance with the provisions of this Act, and .not to the prejudice of iha rights of either of the treaty Powers.He may act under joint instruction uf the three Powers, but shall receive no separate instruction from either.\u201d fo flercely was the war of words conducted that Mr.Chambers, the American Chief Justice, eventually de cided to withdraw, and a few hours later formally advised the Consuls that he had decided to abstain, during the existing crisis, from any further deliberations of the board.Under these circumstances a deadlock became inevitable.The Municipal President found an active ally in his Consular compatriot, and the only course left open to the Englishspeaking Consuls was to offer and accept a truce, during which might refer the matter to their spective Governments.The latter had already added very materially to the perplexities of the situation.Not jong before the death of Malietoa Laupepa, the three Powers had agreed to amnesty Ma~ taafa and other chiefs, who in 1898 took part in a rebellion against the Samoan Government, and were exiled to the Marshall Islands.Mateafa, though banished, had not been forgotten by the Ramoans, and his re turn at the very height of the crisis could not fail to excite the hopes of his supporters and cause much surprise and speculation among all parties.The Samoans have had ample opportunity in the past of judging Gern opinion in relation to Mataafa, and have been shrewd enough to divine the authorship of these stipulations.\u2018Their treatment of the ques tion has been eminentiy characteristic and typical of native virtues and fauils.Another people, similarly embarrassed, might have resented Mataafa's resignation as a desertion of the national cause, and have forthwith recalled \u2018their former loyalty ; while a second might have straightway elected Mataafa to the kingship and so precipitated a conflict.Ne:ther of these courses would have accord with Samoan traditions.\u2018The islanders are remarkable for their love of native soil, and gonsequently were prompt to sympathise with home-sickness, begotten of five weary years of exile, which had induced their idol to so readily subscribe to the Powers\u2019 demands.Moreover, they never do in a hurry anything that can be accomplished with leisure.From hereditary high chief to beach loafer, all are rabid politicians, addicted to exuberant oratory, and never more happy than when discussing their own affairs and those of the \u2018\u2018papalagis\u2019\u2019 (foreigners).It was, therefore, quite consistent with both Samoan polity and temperament that many weeks elapsed before any action waa taken by the natives in respect to the regal vacancy.Although, in Samoa, the office of king is nejthar very ornnjpental nor dignified, there has been no lack of candidates for election.The two most prominent clans are the Malieto and Tujnua parties, and each of these Galley Samua can boast of cevera) notable claime anis.The late King has left a daughter, Faaino ; a son named Tuna who is just on the border of man hood ; an adopted son, also young, and a brother, the High Chief Mol, Heretofore, for many years, the Malletog party bap been in tue esctad they re

has long been apparent that its influence was declining, and would be rudely challenged at the first suitable opportunity.* The hereditary high chief of the Tumua faction is Tamasese, who ghas for many years lived in Atua, the eastern district of the island of Upolu, in a state of nore or less open rebellion against the Government of Mulinulu.To the same family be longs Mataafa, now, as in days of yore, the most prominent figure in Samoan politics, and the hope of every islander who cherishes the idea of Bamoan independence.That this chief would eventually be elected: king has been anticipated by everyone acquainted with Samoa and its people.To them, therefore, the news recently cabled from Australia has not come as a surprise.Early in November there were great gatherings of the natives \u2018 at Apié and, Mulinulu.| The Tumna \u2018 party were the first to arrive, in auch numbers that the Government quarters proved insufficient for their\u2019 ac-) commodation.They advised the nà- tive Government that they were resolute in their determination to elect Mataafa, a policy quite at variance with the views of Tamasese, who, finding his own people desprters Iron his cause, at once set apout the gre ation of a new party.Hitherto the Faipute, or Samoan Parliament, has included about eighty members, à number oft, complained of as toa great, = the recent election, however, the Tumna clan awsembled no fewer than 700 male adults, all claiming a representative status, and Apia opinion, probubly not without reason, credited them with the deep design of crowding out opposing factions.As the gathering increased, disturbances between the various parties became of frequent occurrence ; and it was no doubt with a view of impressing upon the natives that force would be used if required to repress serious breaches of the peace, that marines from H.M.8.Ringdove and Porpoise, and the German war-vesfela Buzzard and Falke, united in the recent demonstration at Mulinulu, \u2018 Some surprise has heen occasioned by the absence {ruin the manoeuvre of any ship flying the American fag.Such absence, however, can be explained by the fact that up to that date the United States remained une represented in Semoan waters.Early in the autumn orders were issued from the Navy Department that at least ¢wo vessels should be commis sioned for Samoa ; but owing to apprehensions of

fully alive to the inconveniences of the existing gystem of Government, and the dangers of the present crisis is very evident from the terms in which, in his recent message to the Congress, he alluded to the matter.He observed that many \u201cundesirable complications\u201d had heretofore been developed by the execution of the tripartite act, but promised that, while the international agreement endured, the United States Government would continue Lo address itself to the \u2018\u2018exact fulfilment\u2019\u2019 of its terms.: \u2018The Government of Washington will have sôinéthing very
