Irishmen urging the Irish to strike a good blow at England, which has held the Irish people in bondage.A BAD RIFLE.London, Sept.26.\u2014 A despatch from Pretoria says a Mauser rifle in the hands of a burgner, who was practicing with it, burst recently and nearly killed him, with the result that a great number of burghers are greatly convinced at the insecurity of the pew weapon.They assert that the cartridges are useless and are going to ask the Government to revert to the Martini or investigate and remedy the \u201cThe Ti imes has a despatch from Johannesburg, which asserts that the delay

M.White Ridley, speaking this evening at Blackpool, indicated that the question of suzerainty would not be used to force an issue in the Transvaal matter.He said, however, that the British Government would insist on a redress of grievances of the Uitlanders, under the conventions of \u20181881 and 1884.If these conventions should be adhered to, he declared that the present quarrel would never have

Unitxd States were proceeding in the most agreeable man- per.He is still a member of the Joint Commission, but he could not tell when it would reconvene.The only point now under negotiation, he said, was the establishment of a pro- visiona! boundary at the junction of the Klcbini and Chiba Rivers.The discussion of this puint is proceeding satisfactorily and, he said, he had no doubt that the matter would be ad- justzd, as it is the only serious point at issue.When it is settled the establishment of a line through the mountains can be easily accomplished.Al together Sir Louis Davies appeared to take the happiest view of an amivabl: issue of the affair., CASE SETTLED.A Railway Mad Clerk Accepts pensation.Toronto, Ont.Sept.26.\u2014Charles F.Heally, a railway mail clerk, who was

points.The Transvaal Government was in constant telegraphic communication with Bloemfontien on the reply to Mr.Chamberlain's despatch.It is believed that the reply will protest against the continued despatch of British troops as a menace to the Traasvaal.The Pretorla Volketien, the official organ of the Transvaal Government, decalares that the Government Executive, ought to give at the most forty- eight hours to.representatives of the Transvaal that no further troops be fanded, pending the receipt of the British proposals.GERMAN OPINIONS.Berlin, Sept.26.\u2014The publication of Nir.Chamberlain's telegrams to Sir A.Miler, British High Commissioner in South Africa, calls for but few comments from the German press.The optimistic views expressed yesterday have given away to a general feeling in many quarters that war is inevitable and the course of British policy is merely a ruse to gain time to complete military preparations.The National Zeitung says :\u2014\"The statements made in the Transvaal green book are a flat contradiction of Mr.Chamberlain's version of the five ment taxes the other with perfidity regarding the rest.\u2018 The eueste Nachrichten says :\u2014 \u201cThe turn given to the suzerainty question is really nothing but a play upon words.\u2018The Transvaal is, of course, not sovereign, as England's veto restricts it as a treaty-making power.Nor has this ever been denied by the Transvaal, whose Governaffairs.\u201d Other journals consider that Mrto aflord material for further delay.HOPEFUL SIGNS.Cape Town, Sept.26.\u2014The South African News patch from Pretoria saying that th: alleged change in British public opi- ports subsequent to ihe meeting of the Council are considered hopeful signs.There is no official news from Bloemfontein, but there is not the slightest doubt about the attitude of the Orange Free State.At a meeting of Scandinavians it was unanimously decided to support the Government.Only 20 members of the First Raad are in town and it is expected that the Legislature will dissolve at any moment.The Jews, at a meeting, have resolved to support the Government, and bave offered to equip and provision a police corps of 200 men.Piet Kruger, grandson of President Kruger, in a letter to the Volksraad, asks whether or not it is the Goverament's duty to inform the Imperizl Government that the further landing will be considered a causus belli.There is feverish excitement in all the departments and riders canying instructions to towns removed [rom the telegraph lines is continuous.THE BOERS

that we ought not to touch land first anywhere except in New York.The Olympia looks as smart now as a yacht.The anchors were hardly down before details of the crew were washing the ships white sides,

you were here before, were you not?\" \"Yes,\" replied that individual.\u201cYou are an old employee of the lock works, I think?\u2019 \"Yes, that\u2019s right,\u201d affirmed Holden.At the time of the revolt at the St.Vincent des Paul penitentiary Pare and Holden were the two convicts who carried in the wounded warden.When Holden was in that prison he remodelled the heating apparatus and the

AT LUNCH AT THE GARRISON CLUB \u2014 SPEECHES BY LEADING CITIZEES \u2014SKETCH OF THE RIGHT HONORABLE GENTLEMAN'S CAREER.The Quebec Harbor Commissioners and some of Quebec's leading merchants united yesterday in welcoming to the city one of the old city\u2019s distinguished sons, Rt.Hon.W.J.Pirrie, and the other important personages who accompany him on this visit to his native city.Besides Mrs.Pirrie, the party consists of the Lord Chief Baron of Ireland and Miss Palles, Mr.Hatch, M.P.for Manchester, and Mr.Thomas Andrews, of Belfast, who is a nephew of Hon.Mr.Pirrie's, and connected with the firm of Harland & Wolff, of which his uncle is the head.At half-past ten yesterday fore noon the distinguished visitors boarded the ss.Contest, which had been secured for the occasion.Hon.R.R.Dobe® and Messrs.W.M.Macpherson, Julien Chabot and Felix Carbray, M.P.P., Harbor Commissioners, James Woods, Secretary of the Commission, James Sullivan, #larbor Master, and E.Boswell, Engineer, accompanied the party.Mr.J.B.Laliberte, President of the Harbor Commissioners, was called to the Court House, and found, much to his regret, that it would be impossible for him to be in atteadance.The party went up the north shore as far as the site of the proj bridge, then came down along the Levis side as far as St.Joseph, where the dry dock was visited.Right Hon.Mr.Picrie expressed his high appreciation of the dry dock, but advised its prolongation to 600 feet at the earliest possible date.Some people in the city were of the opinion thal the present dock was ton narrow, but the 2minent shipbuilder is of the opinion that 60 feet, the present width, will suffice for many years to come, but insisted on of lengthening the dock at once.The party afterwards returned to the Louise Basin, which was visited from end to end.This was a new source of admiration to the visitors, who were high in their praise of the all sizes.From the Basin the party drove to the Garrison Club, where several of Quebec's leading citizens and business men met the visitors, and lunch was served in the best style of the Club.The floral decorations were especially admired, and their arrangement was ia source of great pleasure to all the guests.The following was the MENU.Huitres.Amandes Salees.Olives.Tomates.Consommee Julienne.Petits Truites Meuniere.Pommes

CONNECTION WITH THE GREAT.NORTHERN SYSTEM AT ST.FLORE.completion of the Shawenegan Fale Railway, a branch line of 4} miles in length, which has now been completed, and which connects with the Great Northern system at St.Flore, is but the last link necessary Lo give through railroad: communication; with Shawenegan Falls, the seat of the great power development that is being put through by the Shawenegan Water Power Company, says the Monlegal Gazette.This branch line of railway will be operated by the Great Northern of Canada, in conjunction with their through line, which contemplates running from Quebec to Ottawa, where it will connect with the Canada Atlantic Railway system.The Great Northern also makes connection with the Canadian Pacific at Garneau Junction.These roads will immediately introdece this route to Sha Falls, as a desirable detour for tour ists, since its attractions are not surpassed in beauty and grandeur at any other point in Canada.It is hard to realize that, although little known there should be within a comparatively short distance of Montreal and Quebec, a natural feature so extraordinary aml womderful as Sha: n Falls.Al this point the St.Maurice, the third largest river in Eastern Canada, falls in a cascade, a height of 120 feet, and hurling itself directly against a granite clift, into which it has worn great caves, turns at more than a right angle to its former course.It then forces its way through a very narrow gorge, with high vertical rock sides, and dropping another twenty- live feet in a very short distance, empties into ;, wide bay.The water in his gorge is of great depth, and the speed at which it is forced through the narrow channel causes a tremendous current, strongly feit as far as half a mile from the mouth of the gorge.The falls can be viewed from many difivrent points, and this facility of approach permitting the viewing of the rany varied aspects of the water, constitutes one of the chief charms of the PRIMEVAL BEAUTY.Although not possexsing the volume of Niagara Falls, Shawenegan Falls has a wild and primeval beauty that is entirely lacking at the latter resort.But although the volume of water pas- snz'over the fails is salt in comparison with Niagara, it still represents a vast quantity of water.As the overflow at Shawenegan is Linch gurrower in proportion, much of the well-known effect of irresistible power impressed upon almost every Visitor vo Nizgara is Lee retained A Visit to he sone of this develop rent which is mas on underg the plans of the Shaweasgan Water & Power Company, will be » revelation tu those pot familiar with the plans of this concem.During the summer months there have heen, end ab the present Lime are, employeu on the works of the company from x) to 1,209 hands, who are engaged in car- tying out a comprehensive scheme of t, which embodies the buiid+ ing of canals, bulkheads, power houses, tranemission lines.railroads.bridges, and the laying out of a town site, with etc.Already the company has contracted to supply the industries an amount of power which far exceeds any power development in the world, with the exception of Niagara Falls.These industries will be located immediately on the company's property, and will mean the rapid development of a large town at Shawenegan Falls.AN OBJECT LESSON.Many of the products of these industries will be exported to all parts of the world, and wherever they may go, they will serve as an object lesson illustrating the great possibilities of Canada.The remark of one of the gentlemen interested in this great undertaking, that the Shawenegan Water & Power Company, was simply utilizing the resources which nature had put to hand, is significant in the light of what this development and like enterprises mean for the province of Quebec and Canada.Utilization of the natural resousces of the country will speedily transform what is now seemingly unproductive property into productive resources of the greatest value to the country.Work has been going on since last spring, ami the power will be turned on about June 1.The company have built houses and accommodation for the people engaged in carrying out the the undertaking, and shortly a Roman Catholic church and hotel will be erected.The first week that the contract was entered upon about 1,000 men were set to work, and there was ao place for them to \u2018sleep, expect in tents.Now, it is a town simply springing out of the woods.There is no place known, it is stated, with the exception of Niagara Falls, where an equal amount of power can be developed.The capacity of the St.Maurice will allow of the development of 550,8) horse-power at Shawenegan Falls, and so inexpensive is it to develop this power {hat the Shawenegan Vater & Power Company will be in a position to sell power at prices which cannot fail to attract numberiess industries to this point and to Three Rivers, where the company intends Lo transmit electrical

Music.Another bumper house greeted the company at the Academy last night to find out Why Smith Left Home, and a more satisfied audience never filled a theatre in Quebec.From the time the curtain went up for the first act to the end of the performance, the audience were convulsed with laughter.All the artists excelled in their several parts, but Miss Lucille Allen Walker, as Lavind Daly, the Secretary of the Cook Ladies\u2019 U-u-union, certainly achieved the success of the evening.Human nature, and especially Quebec human nature, is under a deep debt of gratitude to Mr.Geurge H.Broadhurst for writing such a play, to Mr.W.H.Wright for organizing such a splendid company, to Messrs.Charlebois and Varney, ror securing the attraction, for the city, and last but not least to each and cvery one of its performers for the manner in which they produce the.piece.If -any citizen of the old Rock City is troubled with that nondescript ailment known as the blues, or suffers from dyspepsia or mental depression, he has the remedy in his own hands,\u2014one visit to the Academy will bring about instant relief, and if any vestige of the malady remain, he can banish i it by attending a second performance, or going to see \"What Happened to Jones,\" which will be produced to-morrow evening.A creditable feature about \u2018Why Smith Left Home,\" is the total absence of all vulgarity.A farce is too apt to degenerate into a vulgar production, but in this case all ohjection- able features are carefully obliterated.This afternoon a matinee will be given, at 2.30, to give an opportunity to the ladies and children who are unable to atlend the evening performances.The prices, 25, 35 and 54 cents are within tw reach of all, and a full House should greet the players.\u2018The last performance of \u2018Why Smith Left Home,\" will take place this evening, and the rest of the week will be taken up with \"What Happened to Jones.\u201d The crowds thal greeled the performers at each performance this week is an earnest of what may be expected so long ax such first-class attractions are secured, and Messrs.Charlebois and Varney will have no reason to regret the outlay and work they have imposed upon themsehes to make the theatre business a success in Quebec.The Academy now rauks as one of the finest play houses in Canada, and the attractions which have held the boards so far this season and those announced are first-class, so that the public are likely to continue and increase their attendance.THE PRESBYTERY OF QUEBEC is summoned to meet in St.Andrew's Church, in {his city on the 2ud prox.at 4 p.m.In addition to the general business which commonly occupies a quaclerly meeling of the ccrlestical tiie subject of the Century Fund enterprize, taken up by the authority

means of carrying it out in the field over wiluch the Presbetery has jurisdiction.This part of the proceedings will be of teal interest in the general public, and especially to the Presbyterian public

dyspepsia.Sufferers who have tried noxious nostrums will probably be sceptical, but skepticism vanishes when Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are tried.Whether the trouble is dyspepsia of long standing, or merely a simple case of indigestion, relief is prompt and pronounced.The less the trouble the fewer tablets need be taken.Heaviness after eating, sour stomach, as indicated by belching, fatigue with slight exertion, or with no ex- lertion at all, disturbed sleep, nervous- these things can commonly be set down as symptoms of dyspepsia.And dyspepsia is merely indigestion in an aggravated form.By promoting perfect Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets produce stiong nerves, r2stful, refreshing sleep, pure blood and good, sound, healthy flesh.They make the skin clear, the eyes bright, the mind cheerful, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are Là medicine and more than a medicine.They digest the food and make it easy of assimilation, and they relieve the inflamed, diseased condition of the membraneous linings and the glands of the stomach and bowels.They help the digestive organs over the hard places, and put them into a healthy, active condition.They eflect a quick and permanent cure.You don't have to continue taking them forever, still it is well to have a box handy and take one at the first return of the trouble.Perfectly well people are made sick by eating too much, or unwholesome food, but not if they take a tablet after eating.Treatment with Stuart's Dyspepsia Tahlets does not necessitate dieting or any change of habits.They digest the proper food and act upon the other kind in such a way as to make it pass off quickly and harmiess- lv.You can eat and drink what you like, when you like, and as much as you like if you take a tablet afterwards, Sturat\u2019s Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by

TRANSVAAL\u2014 NEW YORK WAS DULL AND LISTLESS \u2014 THERE WAS AN UNDERTONE OF STRENGTH, BUT THE MARKET, CLOSED WITH LOSSES, Montreal, Sept.26.\u2014 Stock operations on the loca) exchange this morning were of the same narrow character as yesterday, there not being even the redeeming feature of a flurry in Royal Electric.The market in that specialty was weak along with the rest and the price declined to 193 compared with 195), the closing price yesterday.The absence sf any mand tos the ~+orx-TAY be Pat down to the evident desire to wait the outcome of the meeting at noon to-day to decide about the issue of new stock.The news was received on the floor of the exchange some twenty minutes before the close of the morning board that the share holders had empowered the management to double the capitalization of the company, or in other words to make it $3,000,000, of which it was stated by a shareholder $750,000 will be issued to holders of September 30, the remainder to be issued when the company deems most desisable.As the capitalization has been $1,500,000 the issue of new stock at present will be in the ratio of one new share to two of the old ones held.Even after the information was received there wax no move in the price.In fact, it was; if anything, weaker, only 182} being hid at the close of the board.\u2018The fact that holders of record September 30th will secure their proportion of the new issue left plenty of time for a speculative movement of the price, and in the few minutes which were left of the morning session the brokers present were not prepared to reduce their views of the decision regarding the stock to a monetary basis.The prediction mentioned in this column yesterday, about 200 for Electric, which was made sometime ago in the street, is still easy of accomplishment, notwithstanding the fact that the movement of the price was in the wrong direction this morning.When the second hall of the million and a half of new stock is issued it will go, it was reported, in the street for the acquiring of the Chambly Power Works, an institution which is now closely allied with the Royal Company, but is yet in the hands of a Separate company.It is considered that the interests of the Royal Company are such that it should have full and complete control of the Chambly power which it is now using in the fulfillment .of light and power contracts in this city.London was in even a weaker condition to-day and the prices of Canadian Pacific there declined to 95, making the price here from 91) to 91}.Toronto Rails sold at 1144, and

of strength and discouraged operations for a decline, but the soaring tendency of the money rate discouraged all speculative demand on the long side and the day closed with nearly all stocks showing losses.The incident which attracted most attention was the en agement in Loudon of $3,040,000 in gold for New York.Prices rose to the highest où this ammouncement and for a number of stocks reacted a level abov: yesterday's close.But money rose upward by quick stages to 26 pet cent and the heaviness of the market was renewed.The engagement in face of the firmness of exchange is obviously based on the expectation that the money rate will continue high until the receipt of gold makes available in this market, when the profit of the loaning rate may make good the loss in the simple importation.The course of tbe local money market to-day contradicts ihe assertion made yesterday that the higher rate was du?to manipulation.The present and prospective condition of the money market is undeniably tight.Rates advanced not oily here, but at other domestic points, both east and .west.New York Exchange at other points shows continued pressure on this centre for money, and the only source of relief at present suggested is the expenditure im New York by visitors to the Dewey celebration.The announcement | that more gold is on the way from Australia to San Francisco had no eflect, the promised relief being so remote.The fart of a three days\u2019 holiday ap proaching had its influence also on the prevailing dullness.The weakness on the foreign stock matkets was an influence here only indirectly, and so far as it was a deterrent to gold imports.The series of railroad statements which appeared to-day was a real and effective prop to the market and undoubtedly induced some good buying from substantial interests, such as are rot depended on borrowed money.The over-night statement of St.Paul for the third week in September, showing am increase over last year's unprecedented level of $52,000, led the list.Even more striking was the statement of the Atchison system for August, showing an increase in _ the income from operations of 578,433, à result in large part due to the heavy decrease in operating expenses.In the cases of Erie and Southern Railway, in spite of liberal increases in operating expenses, there was an increase in net earnings from the
