Richard dealt prinripally with the Joint High Commission.He de mind that it had been à failure, although the negotiations had been beset with difficulties.The great stumbling block to a successful

Unsied States market would be of enar- mous value to Canada if it could he got ga reasonable terms.He added : >It would be the height of folly io refuse to buy from the United States.True retaliation would consist ir meeting the Americans and beating them.My advice to Canada is to act with dignity ard caution, having iat view the fact that this question is of the first magnitude to the Empire, ami

time enough to decide what course should be pursued.Canada is under a yiave responsibility, for she must cousider not only herself.but the Empire of which she forms a part.We wust act as statesmen,

97 persons were admitted to the Civie Hospital, 533 cases of contagious diseases reported to the Board of Health and 76 deaths out of that number and 179 stables were examined The report was a very elaborate one and the Secretary read several extracts therefrom.The Committee decided to chll for tenders for all mittee for the ensuing year.Dr.Catellier, City Physician, asked tho Comunittee for $2,400 for general purposes of the Civic Board of Health, $1.600 for salaries and $2,- 50C for general vaccination, if necessary.VACCINATION.Alderman Turcot again brought up the question of free and compulsory vaccination, and in support of his contention stated that during the year 1897-98, 42,000 persons had been vaccinated in Montreal, and out of that number 86,000 had been vaccinated free of charge.Too much care could not be taken by the citizens of Quebec to prevent small-pox, which is frequently at our doors, from making its appearance in our midst.Hc considered that the sum ul $2,600 for the vaccination of the poor was not too much.Mayor Parent remarked that he did not see the opportunity of scaring people with smallpox just now, and if such a discase was at our doors the necessary precautions would be immediately taken.Besides, it was all very well talking about vaccina- sing the poor, hut he knew for a fact that the rich people were more he glectfui on that point than the poor people.Dr.Turcotte replied that perhaps that might be the case.but it was no reason to give, as the children of people who could afford it would he vaccinated at any time, but poor children could not.In answer to Ald.Norris, Dr.Turotte had to admit that all his chil- ren were not vaccinated.Abbe ted that .a portion of the mensy asked for should be devoted to the protection of public health, which is continually menaced by the coal and dust from factory chimneys.This was a most important matter that should be immediately attended to.His Honor the Mayor suggested that a sub-comnittee, composed of Aldermen who belong to the, medical profession, he appointed to report on these questions.Ald, Norris remarked that he had been informed on good authority hat when an east wind blew, it con- inually carried the coal dust from he chimneyof a factory in &t.Roch into the General Hospital, which contained a number of sick people © di t t t Dr.Cattelier confirmed that re port, and the inatter was left in abeyance.Ald.Turcotte also ilrew the attention of the Committee to the disease of tuberculosis in cows, and which is almost epidemic in this country.remarking that this disease was often the cause of consumption, and was transferred in milk, and he suggested that cows should be\u2019 inspected and those affected with the disease immediately slaughtered.Dr.Turcotte then moved to have the sum of $2500 for vaccination purposes included in this year's appropriations for the committee, but no decision was arrived at, and the matter was left over until next week's meeting.; ROAD COMMITTEE.\u2018The meeting of the road committee was of some duration, as the committee had to examine numerous tenders for macadajn, broken stone, gully wells, sand, nails, deals and hoards, forge materials, laying and supplying block stone and brick ing, stone curbs, stone and brick sidewalks and retaining walls.TENDERS AWARDED.In each case the contract was awarded to, the lowest tenderer, excepting in the case ®f retaining walls Mr.A.Cote\u2019s tender was for $1.70 and Mr.Larose $1.43, but as the former has had the contract for several years past and has given general satisfaction, his tender was accepted on condition that he would accept the price of the lowest tenderer.The contragta for wacadgin, stone sidewalks, \"and broken stops were award to Mp.Fra, Varont;

I must dollow them.\u201d He was led by the Tartes and the Siftons aud the other lovers of Drummond avd Yukon jobs, with whom he had sur rounded himself after coming to power.A DAY'S RESPITE.Belerring to the present Federal session, Mr.Chapais said the sight presentexl by Sir Wilfrid Laurier, who had begged a day\u2019s respite to prepare some kind of an answer to the formidable arraignment of the Government made by Sir Charles Tupper was unique.Never in the history of Canada had a leader of any Government failed to answer on the spot the attacks of the Opposition leader, but on this occasion Sir Wilfrid found hig position so weak that he had to gsl.for time to prepare a weak defence.THE CONFERENCE.Coming to the In\u2018ernational Conierence, Lhe mpeaker said that this meeting.which had been heralded by Ia Soleil as the Quebec Conference, to be followed by a treaty which would be known in history as the Quebec treaty, had become the Washington Conference and ended in the Washington rupture.The Premier of Cutfida had gone begging to the American» and been repulsed with acorn.His action had Leen a source of profound humiliation for this country.SENATE REFORM.On the question of Scnate reform Hom Mr.Chapais explained the proposition in its true light.Because this body of men had prevented the carrying out of such gigantic swin- dies as the Drummond and Yukon bills, the promoters of these schemes, the Tartes and the Siftons and their organs, Ie Soleil and Ia Patrie, cried out that the Senate must ga.oc at least be reduced lo such a state as tu be of no avail in checking iniquitous legislation.The Senate had been constituted as at present, giving Quebec and Ontario equal representation, 80 that the rights of this Province should be tho better respected.He had on this very day consulted one of the framers of Contedergtion, the companion of Hon.Sir George Cartier and Sir Etienne Tache, and Hon.Mr.Langevin had told him posit vely that i{ queh a proposal had been madg at the time of Confederation \"(he representatives of this Province would have broken ol all negotiations.Now we see a ropresentative of the very division in which the meeting was being held come forward and try to make away with the safeguard which the framers of Confederation lad studied thoroughly and considered most advisable in the interests of the Province of Quebec.Such conduct in a public wen was heartless and a betrayal of the Province.MARCHAND'S TURN.The speaker then, in a {ew words, passed in review the Marchand Goveroment, \u2018which, he said, like their waters at Ottawa, had broken all the promises they ever made.They kad showr their subservience to the Government at Ottawa by bringing in, on the eve of prorogation, \u2018heir Senate reform resolutions.Mr.Marchand had been guerced by Sir Wilfrid Laurier and Mr.Tarte, who had cope gown in all their glory, in one & those private cars which.while in the ranks of the Opposition, the Liberals had found su scandalous, awd orderexi Hon, Mr.Marchand to speak hia little piece on Senate reform, and the Premier of this Pros vince had to obey his masters, The utmost enthusiagm prevailed throughout the wholg meeting.Hon.Mr.Flynn will address a meeting in that diviston shortly.ARTILLERY NOT COMING.T.ORD STRATHCONA AND MOUNT ROYAL CONFINED TO THE HOUSE, Londoa, March 22\u2014The National Artillery Association, it is understood, will not send a team to Canada to complete in the military tournament this year.Lord Stratheona and Mount Royal, tanadian High Commissioner, though confined to the house with a slight attack of influenza is not reriously ill.The doctors have ordered a change and he will go to Folkstone.General Manager Hays is expected to attend the semi-annual meeting of the shareholders of the Grand Trunk Railway, at the Cannon street hotel, here on the 2¢th.TO OURE A COLD IN ONE DAY.Take Laxative Rromo Quinine Tablets, Al' Drogrise refund the mosey if it fails o Cure\u201d {Continued on Fouth Page.)

quarterly meeting of the Diocesan Branch of the Women's Auxiliary, beld in the Cathedral Church Hall yesterday afternoon.A number of ladies were in attendance, including representatives of many of the parochial auxiliaries hereabouts.It was resolved that the annual meeting should be held on the 17th of May.Special interest attached itself to yesterday's meeting from the fact that it was visited by the Lord Bishop of the Diocese and seieral mem- hers of the Board of Domestic and Foreign Missions, including Rev.Canon Von Iffiand, Capt.Carter and Mr.John Hamilton.The members of this delegation had been invited to address the Auxiliary, and His Lordship, in particular, dwelt at length upon the very- admirable work done by the ladies of the diocese of Quebec for the cause of missions.Suggestions were made respecting a change in the distribution of the aid provided hy the Auxiliary.Tt is thought that the Board con superintend the distribution more effeetu- ally than the ladies can, especially with the aid of the hishops of the various missionary dioceses and the Bishop of Quebec suggested that a ladies\u2019 committee might be named to assist in the work.There sugpes- tions will probably be taken into consideration at a later ,meeting of the Diceesan Auxiliary.EIGHT ROYAL RIFLES COMMISSIONS GRANTED.The 8th Royal Rifles have been seriously handicapped this season by the want of officers.This was due to the fact that there is at present three on leave of absence in Europe, while a few others are on sick leave, so that it was neressary to complete as much as possible the

COMMITTEE.(Continued from First Page.) had against the company was the placing of salt un the track.Ald.Norris then read a letter from Mr.Evans sent some time ago in which the writer refers to the contract between the Company and the city on the 17th July, 1895, Clause 16, enacts that the company are not allowed to use salt for the purpose of melting the snow, .but may use it on the rails, over grades, curves, switches and sidings.Mr.Evans in his letter states that the use of salt is exceedingly expensive, and with the exception of the switches the company only use it when the rails get in suc a condition that without its use it would be absolutely impossible to operate the cars.Ald.Norris did mot see any objection to the company using salt where they were allowed to by their con tract, but they use it elsewhere, and he knew that lately car 102, one of the old cars, was distributing salt on 8t.John street about 4 a.m.when a constable ordered that to be stopped.Ald.Belanger confirmed the latter's remarks, and stated that he had seen cars distributing salt along St.Joseph street.The committee adjourned at 10.30.\u201cMONEY AND EXCHANGE.London, March 22.\u2014 Gold pre miums are

the prospects of lacrosse in the Senior League, George arson, of the Capitals says no practical lacrosse man in Ottawa thinks for a moment that the league as now constituted will stand the season through.Everybody sees the mistake of debarring the Tecumsehs.Neither Sherbrooke nor Quebec help the game outside of Montreal.Montreal will see a world of lacrosse next summer to the detriment of of every other club in the league.The final shifting will take place next year.In the east _the necessity of getting Ringston or \"Brockville in the game is conceded on all sides.With, say Kingston, breaking the long jump from Montreal to Toronto, the Toronto Tecumsehs, the Torontos, the Ottawa Capitals, the Cornwall, of Cornwall, and Le Nationale and Shamrocks, of Montreal, is the reasonable make-up of a Senior Canadian Tacrosse league.That Westwick and Pat Murphy will play out of Ottawa this year is regarded as probable in Ottawa.THE WHEEL.Proposed Changes in the C.W.A.\u2014 Two

dollar per annum.It is now proposed to form a board of Control in connection with the world's meet management n Mon treal, comprising five members.The \u2018ommittee which has been looking \u2018Îter

Garrick Club, which will produce the drama \u201cIm \"\u201d in the Opera House in April for the benefit of the \u2018lub, and a monster demonstration will be held under their auspices on the 21th of
