Ally.BRITISH INTERESTS ARE SAFE Bantand Will Not Send In the Way h 13.\u2014In the House to-day, Mr.Willigm Pritchard Morgan, Liberal Member who recently in bebaif of- British and American syndicates obtained what appears te be an immensely valuable concession in the Chinese Province of \u2019fze-Chuan, moved to adjourn in order to call attention to the support given by.British Minister, at Pekin, to Italy'a-demmnd fur lease of San- Man Bay: REQUIRED EXPANSION.\u201cUnited States and Japan needed ex- pension of trade, and it was a great mistake to support Italy whose demand, he claimed, was another step towards the disintegration of China, The parliamentary Secretary of Foreign Office, the Right Hon.Wm.St.John Broderick, defended the Goyernment\u2019s action in so doing.He said Italy had for many years been the friend and ally of Great Britain, and s0 far as Great Britain was concerned, if by diplomacy, Italy could persuade Chins to make concessions Her Majesty's Government would welcome Italy's appearance in the Far East ns an ally of Great Britain, BRITISH INTERESTS.Continuing Mr.Broderick said the policy af Her Majesty's Government was to safeguard British interests, and as long as these ware not threatened not to stand im the way of friendly powers taking steps to safe guard their interests.The motion to adjourn was ev?ntu- ally nagatived without a division.LA'GOUBRAN

\u2018\u2019It is perhaps as well to put an end to all those stories floating in the air by a formal denial.Say, then, that it is absolutely false that any dif- ferencé at all exists, between myself and my colleagues, and that I intend to resign.I am here by the unanimous voice of gy party, without having sought the place which I oe cupy.This post I occupy, not by pleasure, but by duty in assuming all its J , and I do not entertain ahy illusions as to its unpopularity in many respects, because of a policy of rigorous acongmy.The people of the Province have expressed their entire confidence in the pro- desires it of me.All the rumors circulated on the subject of resignations on the part of my colleagues and myself are pure inventions.\" ABANDONED BY HIS SUBORDINATES A Spanish

evident that the buzzards had strips ped.the hones of flesh.It is under stood here thut Admiral Villamill was taken ashore from the Pluton in a dying condition, tied in an arm chair, and the

the members of our Club.WITHDRA Ww N.Nothing very eventful has happened, but the various undertakings were carried out satisfactorily and added credit to the already meritorious record of the Quebec Bicycle Club.The membership ol the Club now consists of 50 active, three lady and six honorary members.This is almost the sane as the preceding year.\u2018\u2019The Club was represented at the C.W.A.Provincial Meet, held in Granby on the 1st July, by Messrs.Laliberte, Jevey and Aubin, who worthily upheld the honour ol the Club.A club room was secured in the Quebec Skating Rink, through cargo of the wrecked steamer Cas lers.Having fully served the purpose |the kindness of Mr.A.Guilbault, and tillian was intended for the Easter |they have started down the river to | was nicely furnished, provided with magazines, etc., for the use of Club.\u2018\u201cThe annual relay race to Cacouna took place on the 30th July and was run through under circumstances which would have discouraged less plucky riders.It ia sincerely to be hoped that this event will be eon- tinued from year to year, and we would suggest that more general interest righ be aroused by joining with other Clubs and running it through to Fredericton or St, John, NB.\u201d The report then referred to the electric light meet held on the Q.À.A.A.grounds, to the races and games given in the Skating Rink for the\u2019 men of the garrison and the visiting warships, to the satisfactory financial position of the Club, which was clear of atl debta and had a balance of $27.20 on hand, to the loss sus tained by the deperture from the city of \u2018\u2019andy\u2018\u2019\u201d Miller and Charlie Levey, and then continued ;\u2014 a movement was started to tax all \u201cin the early part of last season citizens owning bicycles.The Club immediately took}steps to quash this and the matter was dropped.Thore are very few cities in' Canada where such a tax is imposed, and it would Le a t unfeir one in Queb:e, where \u201cwhit Wr little used far commercial purposes, owing to the hills, etc., and further, the condition of our streets is such that the rider takes risks of life and limb and should ber rewarded rather than taxed.We trust that the work commented , towards, improvihig: our streets will continue, and it should always be .borne in mind that the bicycle improves instea of injuring the roads, \u201cFur the soming season we hope that thé Club will push forward the work of the C.W.A.whose motto is \u2018Wheelmen's Rights and Good Roads,\u2019 and that C.W.A.sign boards, giv- the amount asked

over religious matters against which they have always strongly contended, and also because it might prejudice the question of disestablishment.THE AMERICAN DEATH ROLL.The fact that out of 5731 lives which the war with Spain cost the United States, only 454 were sacrificed in actual lighting is the most serious indictment that has yet been made of the administration of the War Department at Washington.If the truth could be got at it would be clear that most of the loss of life was due to official incapacity.The failure to make proper provision for the eare of the troops in health and sickness must be directly re sponsible for the sacrifice of at least two or three thousand lives.Disclosures already made indicate that the war was taken advantage of by politicians to -get contracts with the American Government at figures for which no adequate return was given.Food which was unfit for consumption was the daily portion of the troops, and the most ordinary remedies were not ohtainabfp, The re sult is the large death roll which is now announced.It is not surprising that under these circumstances the Imumunes, which were \u2018counted upon to go to the help of General Otis at Manilla, have declined to do any mors service.Those who fight a country\u2019s battles should be protected from therenemy at home as it is more fatal than the enemy in action.A Daily Recipe, BUTTER

120 was asked, but buyers went down to 110, No sales were reported.Dominion Coal, common, was strong at 46, and preferred at 120.The mining securities also shared in the prevailing conditions with the ex< ception of Montreal and London, which sold at 76 cents.Payne was one cent weaker, and War Eagle was only considered worth $38.35 this morning, but no sales were reported at those figures.CLOSING TRANSACTIONS.market generally worked fractionally lower to-day for the railway list, with most activity in the special ties, which on the whole were well supported.Tobacco was a feature with a rise of six points net.American Steel and Wire and the Iron and Steel shares generally were conspicuously strong in the forenoon, but later lost ground.American Steel and Wire preferred went up two points in anticipation of a dividend, which subsequently developed, and the stock eased off on realizations.Metropolitan Street Railway showed alternate strength and weakness, while Third Avenue was decid edly feverish and they ended with a loas of 113 points each.Talk of rate cutting among the local gas companies brought liquidation in Consolidated Gas, which ended with a loss of three points.The clming prices at the Stock Exchange were as follows :\u2014 \u201cje = 2 STOCKS.4 | 8 LE] American Cotton Oil.American Tobnecc American Tobacco Co, pr Amésican Sugar pid.American Spirits.American Spirits péd.0h Atchison, T.& Sante Fe sll 2 Atchison, T.& Santa Fe pé 6 Baltimore & Ubis.a.Bay State Gan, .;

following lines : Although many lose sight of the fact, it is nevertheless true that the day has passed when a piano manufacturer can convince people by advertising extravagant claims.Practical demonstrative evidence is the only thing which satisfies the public.\u2018These reflections are indulged in as the result of hearing the Gerbard- Heintzman concert grand at the Tripp recital.The instrument used by the gifted artist in a new claimant for public attention\u2014a very large and imposing looking instru- ment\u2014and its introduction was a most happy one.Mr.Tripp is a player who exaèts every degree of resource from à piano, and, therefore, thin occasion may fittingly! be described as a test case for the Gerhard Heintzman concert grand.The test was a veritable triumph for the instrument.Its phenomenal power, brilliancy, clean cut action, and sensitiveness to every expressional de- mand-\u2014extremes of diminuendo and fortissimo, etc.\u2014were strikingty apparent.Oertainiy the Gerhard Heintzman Co., in this their new concert grand, have evolved a piano which will add greatly to the lustre of thelr already splendid reputation.\" The Gerhard Heintzman pianos may be examined \u2018at any time at Arthur: Lavigne & Co, 68 Bt.John street.BELLS BLESSED.The Cereinony Performed on Sundayat Levis Two bells were blessed at the St.Jogeph Church on Sunday

memory, and that duesen't even bar Ned O'Daldwin, the Irish giant.I have been told that there is too much of Jefferies : that he is too big for a fighter.What about O\u2018Baldwin, that ponderous fighter of the London ring, who whippe\u2018 everything in shoe leather, and finally retired from the ring because no one would do battle with him ?Of course he was an exception.So is Jefleries.Jefferies physical prowesa is backed by cleverneas with both hands and agility of foot.He has two good hands, and, unlike the majority of big fellows, he doesen\u2019t bank entirely on his strength.He can hit straight out, like a shot from a gun, with both hands, and the straight right punch is safe and well- timed, At Carson City he could have beaten Corbeit and Fitzsimmons in tte same ring, and he's twice ap good now as a ring tactician.\u201d SPORTING NOTES.Menry Raker, the German heavy weight, of Chicago, who once de fented Yank Kenny in jig time, will act as sparring partner for Fitz simmons while Yank is laid up in hospital.Yank is the latest in a long list of sparring partners that Fitz has damaged, T.T.Cartright, of Montreal, has preferred charges of professionalism against W, R.Granger.recently elected President of the Montreal Bicyele Club, and last season of the Montreal District Racing Board.The charge is that Mr.Granger received 25 centa per entry for handicapping races, and Mr.Cartright takes his stand on the action of the C.A.A.A in professionalizing a Toronto foot- hall referee last peason for accepting his services.| Martin Julian thinks the Fitz-Jef- feries fight will come off on 26th of May.Fitzsimmons has again announced his intention of going to Paris next year to see the sights, and incidentally to pick up r few dollars by Koing
