es \"|A Few Words About Catarrh How It Begins \u2014 How It Becomes Chronic\u2014How it is Cured + by Dr.Chase.Persons who\u201d take cold casily are almost sure to become victims of catarrh which in its acute form is nothing mote or less than \u201ccold in the bead.\" Running at the nose, stufled up nostrils, \u2018difficult breathing, and headache are well-known symplons of acute catarrh.If allowed to run on, acute catarrh becomes chronic, aud then there are small ulcers formed in the nose, droppings in the thioat, which cause spitting, and, when the ulceration reaches the hone, foul breath.As a result of the thickening of the membrane of the nose and cusiachean ube, deafness and loss of the sense of smell are also symptoms of chronic catarrh.When allowed to work its way along the air ges catarrh witimately reaches the lungs and becomes cone sumption.To clear the air passages: and heal the ulcers in the nose is the object of treatment, and no means have ever been so universally successful as Dr.Chase's Catarch Cure, The improved blower which is eiven free with every box of Dr.Chase's Catarrh Cure, is a simple, yet most cf- fectual method of sending the preparation to the very scat of the disease.Relief comes almost instantly, \u2018cold in the head\" and acute calarth are cured in a few hours, and chronic catarrh is absolutely cradicated from the system in a few weeks.As catarth almost invariably leaves its victim in a weakened, rundown condition, the patient should use Dr.Chase's Nerve Food along with the Catarrh Cure, to build up the aystem, and form new red corpuscles in the blood.Thix combined treatment fx unapproachable as an effective method of permanently curing calarmh and vid- ding the system of cv symptom or trace of this distressing, debilitating and dangerous disease.There is no ailment so frequently nt- glected as cutarrh, and none that =o certaialy leads to consumption and death.Dr.Chase's Catarrh Cure.25 cents a box ; blower

was represented nt the international Convention of Young Men's Christian Associations and ab the Provincial Convention by your Secretary.Hoth gatherings were iu- spiring and instructive in Association work, As a place of resort no building in the city offers more attractions under one roof.The pleasant gocial rooms, the spiendid assorgment of standard periodicals in our reading room, the excellent provision for physical culture and recreation in our well-ap- pointed gymnasium, bath and bowling alleys, as well as the esprit de coïps amongst our members, and the brigit and cheerful appearance of the whole building, make Ib all that can be de sired for those who wish 10 enjoy their leisure hours free from the evil influences of questionable places that abound in our city.\u2018The attendance at our building during the 1 year shows an increased interest in the work.The Library has also been well patronized.51 new books have been added.1467 volumes have been taken out by the members.The Library now contains nearly 500 books.The committee haviag charge of the Rooms and Library realized the need of many improvements that might be made, but the limited means at their disposal prevent

examiners in New York City, and any student who secures a grade of 75 per cent or over will receive an International certificate.We regret that a course of lectures and entertainments was not provided, the commitiee finding it impossible to secure (je desired talent.The Physical Department, with all its necessary accessories, have been fully utilized and much appreciated, under the efficient management of our physical director.Mr.Robert Aiken The classes in the gymnasium have been well sustained.The baths are very popular, as are the bowling alleys also.The athletic feature of this department proved helpful in keepiug our members together during the summer months.À club was organized early last summer, and rented the grounds of the Q.A.A., but the distance between the grounds and our building proved a hindrance to the hoped, for success of the undertaking.Several matches, however, in fout- ball, basket ball, bowling and quoits were played during the season, alse indoor and outdoor athletic contests, which showed that with à proper equipment and reasonable effort, the summer could be made a nrosperous adjunct to our Association work.Arrangements were again made with the Women's Christian Association to have a ladies\u2019 class in the gymnasium {wo mornings a week under their aus.pices.These classes aie topular and successful.i The Junior Departirent \u2014 While the membership has increased cn account of the gymnasium advantages, the interest in the department has not, we régret to say, been up to the usual standard.However, now that the novelty of (he gymnasium has passed, and the members accept it simply as one of the advantages of the depart ment we hope to sce a more general interest taken in the other lines of aggressive work for the boys.The department has now 85 members.The average attendance at the\u2019 31 Friday night boys\u2019 meelings was 25.The Rovs' classes in the gymnasium were fairly well attended, the averaec at the

Finance Committee called for $5000 to meet the expected expenditure.While the expenses have not exceeded the amount specified in the budget, the receipts from memberships and suly scriptions did not reach the amounts that were stated in the budzet.Hence we are obliged to carry forward a deficit to the amount of $1152.98.There is, however, $552 past due on memberships, subscriptions, cte., which il paid would reduce the deficit very materially.To maintain the work of the Assoviation efficiently it will be necessary to raise from $1500 to $2000 annuai- ly over and above the regular sources of

well under way The bridge, we are assured, will be begun this spring, and completed in about three years.Thuse who lave been observing the recent developments of Quebec's comme] career are confident that the inauguration of the bridge construction, under auspices that ensure its conpletion, marks a very important xiep in advance., We are proceeding to complete our equip ment as a transportation centie, of which the bride: of \u2018Le river is an essential part.When hat fin is com plete three railways wiih «rte po neurer now (lou Levis will Find ii to their interests to do business directly

of Quebec.When, however, it is shown that the city of Quebec, and Canada as a whole, have so much faith in the future of this rity as to warrant such 2 great undertaking, we have the very best evidence that a new era is about to dawn upon Quebec.The construc tion of the bridge, the completion of the Great Northern Railway, the building of an immense grain elevator, are all recent and substantial indications that Quebec is coming to the front, that we are going to have the facili- ies for à great oteau trade, and that our communication with the interior will be as perfect ac

country will be prepared to reopen the international confercice with a view to concluding it prior to the appeal to the people.The consoquence is thai everything that las Leen done in the direction pf adjustihg the outstanding questions between the two counties may now be said to have teen undone.A great opportunity to wipe off the slate a number of questions more or less irritating has bxen missed, and the work must be resumdd at some future time from (he start.Where the blame rests it is not at present pus- sible to say.The hand of death has been felt sufficiently to retard the cour mission if no other.causes had inter vered.The Alaskan boundary question has been a \u2018serious obstacle, but though it brought about the suspension of Lhe deliberations it has since been removed, and is no Jonger to be counted upon.So much that takes place in diplomatic negotiations is hidden from the public eye that it is impossible to say where the indisposition tp resume the conference has Leen most prenounced, or how far it was possible for the Canadian Government to have exerted an influence in bringing the conference te a final issue.\u2018The opportanity has been 1cst, and will

TROOPS.Julian Ralph writes the following description of what he calls a typical oer camp, for a late edition of the London Daily Mail : As soon as the Boers deserted the trenches and kopjes at Magersfontein, all the British officers who could do so Lastened to the spot to soe what.man- ser of fortifications had s0 successfully withstood their attack.What they found was, I suppose, the filthiest place in the world.If any place ever was dirtier it was the Boer stronghold at Paardeberg Drift, where Lord Roberts vanquished Cronje\u2014 but that pest-hole had not been created at the time that we went over the veldt to have a look at Magersfontein.The Boers .had gone away in such a hurry that they had no time to take their belongings with them.Lvidentfy th2 order was \u201cevery man for himself und no time must be lost.\u201d Consequently | the position was littered with trunks, saddles, tin boxes, bags of mealics, of mealie flour and of rice Cartridges were as thickly strewn bout as if they were as clieap as dead leaves in autiwun.Blankets and clothing were also much in evidence.Ju places the frightened Boers had made an effort to hide their leavings by piling them in the treuches and then throwing skins of canvas over them, and dirt and tree branches on top of all.In their trunks we found, usually, only clothing and letters.Much they had Leen using was of Bri make, largely taken from the British dead, for these simple, pastoral peo ple\u201d strip aud rob our dead alter every battle.Dozens and dozens of bullock hides were iu use, Lhere for shelters and co- veribgs.These had been taken fresh from the backs of cattle, and the sun was making then: sizzle and bubble, frying the fat and tissue on the underside of each, so that they exiuled a navseating stench.But this formed a least part of the efftuvia.A plague to make the pest spot stiil more unendurable, From every shelter gnd pule and bush wang strips of biltong (jerked beel or venison), for they had not dared to stop cven long enough to take away this main .stafi of their lives.The drinking water\u2014perhaps even more pre- cious since it is more scarce \u2014 hung upen the hughes as they left it in tue drum-shaped wooden casks which they sling below their carts and waggons.The place wis a villaie of shelters, or, in reality, two villages\u2014one upon th- rocky kopie, and cne by the tren ches on the veldt.On the kopje the habitations were walls of piled up boulders, covered with skins Or Canvas waggon covers.They made tie hill resemble one of the ruined cities of the American clifi dwellers in Avizons.On the veldt \u2018the shelters were made of upright sticks, roofed over with shins, waggon covers or hush trenches.lo us?these branches they had cut their bushes ingeniously, taking away only a branch or two from each hush and thus leaving enourh fur them Lo hide and move behind in battle.Little heaps of bits of exploded lyddite shells in many shelters showed \u2018that the Boers had been collecting these a; curios lo lake to their homes, though, as it proved, they were glad to be off with their lives only.\u2018Their trunks were nearly all the cheapest of tin boxes.The saddles they gbandoned were mainly loot from our troops\u2014our dead, probably.All secmed to have had mackintoshes, the same that the Transvaal Government teok froin the Uitlanders\u2019 stores in Johannesburg, I suspect.No One has yct found any soap or towels wnoug their leavings.They ate and drank from the same sort of enamelled iron plates which our men and officers use, but they hui brougiit ro knives or forks, InStaad of doing so, many had busied themselves in cutting knives and forks out of Wocd.A great many of these rude home-made table imple ments were scatiered about the camp.We supposed {hat Magersfontcin kopx was a long, high hill sagging in to a kloof or depression in the centre.1t proved so dufferent that we could scarcely believe our eyes when we came to it.In fact, it shrank lowtr and lower the nearer we apyroachel it, and it proved to ke a bunch or huddle of iittle kopjes, and shoulders and knobs\u2014a very nasty place, indeed, and all dissected with trenches be- Lween its different parts.Near the eastern end, where we attacked it with our Highland Brigade, there was hut one trench-a rift four feet deep cut out of he white limcsione and bank 1d up a fool and a half in front, with the dirt that came off the top of the limestane.Thiz trench ran, with à (ew small breaks, all along the front of Uhe group of kopjen, and then, at the east ern end, stopped and left a wide ojen- inz of level veldt.Far back to the north of the kopies another trench bee gan and reached to the river, then turned and ran alongside the Modder for a great distance.This was where the Guards fought all day valiantly, but without dong more than hold back the enemy.At the western end of the ficld, by the.railway, where the cnemy had expected ug to advance, the trenches were two, three, and even four fa à row.Moreover, they were dug in all directions among the many lillocks and hills, and formed what Major Streatfleld rightly called a vert table \u201cdevil's trap.\u201d We saw very few and faint signs of our lyddite on the low ground, but on (he hills, where it siruck the rocks, it had done terrible damage to nature.UL split up rocks that welzhed many fons, shivering huge boulders as though they had been sliced by a gang of saws.Wherever it hit the rocks jt fainted (hem pea-green.The sight of the wonderful disappearing, gun, of which we had heard #0 much, proved that only an ordinary æur had been there and that it had Stood upon Aotid sock.\u201d H had heen sel up in an imprompiy embrasure, hilt of louse boulders.The crevices in the walls were filled with xand bags of sand had been pub upou the walls, amd tree hranchos were so arranged as to hide the place from below.JULIAN RALPH.THE CIGARMAKER'S STRIKE.Position .in Montreal Unchanged \u2014 Montreal, April 17 \u2014 The position of the cigar inakere\u2019 strike was practically unchanged to-day, no further manufacturers have locked out their men.It is not deemed necessary by the association io do so.Meauwtile, the strikers are waiting for tbe manufacturers to agree to their terms.How near thie is to accomplishment may Le seen from the following statement, issued by President Hirsch, of the Cigar Manufacturers\u2019 Association, after a meeting of the execulive to-day : \u2014 \u201cThe situation, so far as our imembers who are immediately interested, is concerned is improving daily.Offers of support are pouring in from all quarters and assurances given that our members in all sections of the Dominion are ready to join in the movement whenever called on to do so.For the present it is not considered necessary 1o put these offers into execu tion, but they are being held in reserve awaiting further «developments In the meantime, some of the factories are engaging numbers of apprentices, and all cigar makers applying for work are ing accommodated promptly.rer rire NOTHING PRETTIER.150 parasols in

William Wells, Dumase Naud, Patrick McGrath, Matihian Turcoite, Richard Brown, Edouard Morel and Bruno Boucher.Mr.Justice Bosse then made \u2018the following charge tu the Grand Jury in both languages : THE JUDGE'S CHARGE.Gentlemen of the Grand Jury : The (erm in which you are called upon to take part will be, by reason of its duration and the impc?tance of the cases to be tried, one of the most remarkable we have cver had in this district, We have latterly, in this province, an epidemic of crimes, particulasly of assaults against the person.1 am informed that there are now jn our prisons six persons charged with 1, and you will have to investigate, for this district, three of those charges.Such a state of things has never, as rel been geen in our city.Under these circumstances, it fs natural to enquire what can bave been the cause of the increase in the number of murders.One need not go far to find it.No doubt, that in many instances those crireg are due to example, and to a spirit of imitation.Both morally and physically, dis eases arc contagious, They spread from one individual to another.In both civil and domestic society imitation plays a preponderant role, \u2018It is by imitation that a\u2019 child acquires most of what it learns, aud forms ita habits.FORCE.OF EXAMPLE.In the education of the young, the power of example is considerable.The young girl, as well as the young man, ure seldom different from the surround- inga in which have grown uy, (he companions they bave frequented, and the books they: have read.The man himself does net escape from the effects of example, from the influence vf ideas, or from that of the sighl which are trought under his view.He is subject to what has been called moral contagion.Laughter is contagious; fear, wild terror become so, for individuals as well as for the crowds.Who carinot recall to mind the dis astrous consequences of panics occasioned in great fires, or the disorganization of an army, when fear spreads from one rank to the other, or then again, the excesses committed by crowds under the contral of nassion ?THESIS OF SUICIDE.In many episodes of history are to be found the traces of the influence which example exercises over individuals.So under the first empire in France three sentries, one after the other, suicided in the same sentry-box.The sentry-box was ordered to be hurnt, and after ils destruction there were no more suicides.Maxime Simon fells of a workman having hung himself in a doorway ; twelve of his mates also hung themselves, ane afler the other, in the same spot, The door was walled in and the suicides immediately ceased, The late and regretted Professor Hubert Larue, in his thesis on suicides relates the fact that, at Nice, a soldier of {he garrison having suicided by drowning la a well, in the neighborhood of the city, reven or eight others comraitied muicided in a like manner, and the well had to be filled in so as to put an end to such destruction of life.We remember the epidemics of vitrlo) throwing, of suicides hy means of lucifer matohes, and it fa known that during several years, in France, it became, 20 to speak, tha fashion, with the young girls who took their own lives, to put on and wear for that purpose a white robe, with the additional ornament of a bridal crown.* In our own city, when we had a garrison of English regiments, there had been a succession of murders of set- geantis hy soldiers.And, to speak of more recent events, who will deny that the publicity given to the trial of Cordea Viau has not had very grave consequences ?HUSBAND AND WIFE.We have, @ the present moment.among others In our Province, three charge of murder.of murder of the wife by lic husband or of the hus band by the wife.So far as the pre- Yinary investigation in concerned, one of these murders, which you will your- elves be upon (n enquire into, presents à Ætiking similarity to the crime committed by Cordelia Viau.In this connection, I could, if neces- gary, multiply the quotations of simi- iar facts.Let it be sufficient for the present to bring under your notice the precautions, which have at all times been taken Lv the Legislatures and Magistrates, to prevent social pollution.There is a crime to which people of old refused lo give a name, for fear tliat that name should gjve rise to an idea of cominitting the crime.UNPUNISHABLE CRIME.There is such anoiher crime against which English law, the one that perhaps has best mastered the secrets of human nature, has not thought fit to subject to punishment.The law wèse- ly withdrew from the dangerous pub- ficity which might result from a trial upon a like charge.In all countries the Courts of jus tice exclude the public from certain trials.These various measures of prudence were inspired by the same idea\u2014 always acknowledged and ziways ap plied, to discourage morbid curiosity, and to avoid familiarity with the crime, in order not to prevoke the repetition of similar criminal acts.UNCLEAN JOURNALISM.Without ignoring the individual cases of depravily, and without attributing to the spirit of imitation all the crimes committed, it is important to weil remember the lessons of ezpe- rience, and not to forget the influence of bad example.And inasmuch as that influence of bad example increases in proportion to the putlicity given to the crime, an important question here presents itself.What must we think, in view 0?public morality, of certain methods of journalism at the present in vogue, which consist in bringing under notice and favor the personality of criminals ¥ All who in any way take an interest in the public weal, deplore such vulgarization of vice.It is unnecessary.to seriously reflect or to take long in order to discover how dangerous fo sociely are hose detailed accounts which are found in several newspapers, of crimes comunit- ted, of tbe manner in which they were sn committed, and of the details which may either excite curiosity, or pander to the morbid sentiments of the reader.\u2018The echozs of the criminal world awaken the depraved instincts of human nature, and it is by a light indiscreetly thrown upon the paths of vice, that many thieves and murderers have been learned their ways, and so the evil resulting from the commission of crime is much increased.DANGERS OF PUBLICITY.At page 218, of his book entitled \u201cCrime and ils Punishment, Mr.Proa, Counseller at the Court of Aix, in France, thus expresses his opinion: \u2018Medical men who understand the power of good and bad examples, would wish, and with reason, that % description of the moral infirmities of suicides, and of crimes, should not te given to the public by the press.They are appalled at the danger of that publicity for the weak and feeble minds which are to be found in society, (for all fouls are not confined in asylums), upon young wen and nervous women.The details given upon the execution of suicides, of crimes, strike the imà- gination, and may provoke the spirit of imitation.Such a publicity pre sents, moreover, (he very serious inconvenience of teaching how to commit criminal acts.1 have remarked that specially in matters of murder, of infanticide, of abortion, and perjury, the criminals follow in the exe cution of the crime the history of si milar crimes; therefore, with doctors Georget, Legrand Dusaulie, Despine, Boüchut, Despres, Aubry, 1 believe that the report of criminal matters ought 10 he reserved to judicial | re ports.It is not proper that young men, young girls, should daily = look for images, examples and morbid excite ment in the description of vices and crimes, which are displayed in the columns of the press.\u201d Legrand Dusaulle, in his \"Traifc de Medicine legale,\u2019 p.516, says the same thing, but in terms much more forcible, and at page 517, he adds : \u201cThe more .a crime is surrounded with mystery and with extraordinary circumstances, the more it has a dis play of cunning, of refinement of barbarity, the more unaccountable have been the causes, the more reporis of the press have been rendered pictures que and emotional, the more the power exercised over human imapination is fruitful of dangerous teachings.A day well perhaps dawn when passions buried in the most hidden folds of the heart will imperiously claim to be gratified.Should the means of execution be waning, remembrances will be called up, the very text will be consulted ard provided with those direo tions and knowledge, the arm \"strikes and regulates itn hlows as it has beem taught to do by Ube newspaper.\u201d CLERGY ALARMED.Our clergy have been alarmed hy the deplorable publicity given to criminal proceedings, and some two years ago anh eminent Archbishop of this Province addressed a letter to certiin newspapers of his Diocese, drawing their attention to he bad eflects produced by news of that nature and descriptions of that kind.But it is alleged the newspaper must be interestiir.That is true, but it is also true that | for the majority of readers, and especially for young peo ple, (he sensational report what is most attractive, but it is also for that class of readers that the danger is the greatest.For some time past some journalists have adopted a more direct way of keeping (he public informed as to the doings of criminals : that is the interview.That mode of information, by exciting to a greater degree the curiosity of the reader, increases the danger re sulting from the description of the crime; it hak, moreover, olber grave inconveniences.PREJUDGING CASES.In most cases, (he result of the interview in made out s0 as to Inspire pity \u2018towards the accused, or 80 as to minimize the weight of the charge against him.This is prejudging the trial and rendering it more difficult.But that in not all ; those intervièws may cut both Ways, and if today il in altempled lo make use of them in favor of the accused, to-morrow they may be turned against him, and then again the administration of justice may bo seriousiv Interfered with.While speaking as I do now, I wish to ba well understood.1 do not Wish to allude to any person Jo particular, noi to any special case, for in all this I see once more the influence of example and its contagion ; what one newspaper has done, eeveral others have ne.Then again, I may say with Le grand Dusaulle : \u201cThe press is for me an admirable instrument of progress, and of civilization, and 1 would admit freely that modern societies \u2018\u2018are to a great exient the result of its work.\u201d I therefore highly appreciate the services which the fewspapers have rendered, and thos which they are to render in future.\u201d Verily, it is a beautiful and noble mission that of spreading useful knowledge, of instructing the peuple, of teaching the people to love their country, of enlightening them on Ux extent of their duties to society as well as of the nature of.their public rights, in a word, of directing them i the right path.OUR PRESS PURE.Thenk God our press in general ha done all that, and I am convinced will continue to do so in the future.If unfortunately, of late, some er rors have been committed, let us hop that they will not be repeated, and that after reflection and with the sen timent of vieir responsibility editor will direct that the detailed report ol crimes, or of the proceedings of criminal trials be omitted from theit newspapers and that reports of that nature will be left to judicial review: and to special Lreaties.Now, gentlemen of the jury, after those observations which I felt it my duty to make, 1 have but very sborl instructions to give you concerning vour labors, and the manner of con Jucting them.; You will remember that in principle (nd as a general rule, drupikeness is never an excuse for the commission ui crime.The application of that een- eral rule will fe sufficient, without being obliged to enter into details which would give you unnecessary trouble.You will also remember that, in of ler te be guilty of an offence, it is not necessary to have committed It nersonally, with one's own bands, if U may so

Mr.T.W.S.Ding, having been aworn in as interpretér 18 the Grand Jury, the latter retired to hear the evidence in the cases submitted lo hem.AFTERNOON SESSION.The case of the Queen vs.Polley and Scott occupied the entire afternoon session, and will not likely be concluded until this afternoon.The charge is that of obtaining money under false pretences, aud the circumstances under which the accused are said to have committed the crime are as follows : Polley and Scott carried on business in St.Roch as shoe manufacturers.The firm was originally Polley & Co., but Scott was admitted to partnership in May, 1897.In June the factory was burned.Being in need of money to meet obligations falling due at , the bank, drafts were made out off the customers of the firm, and discounted at the Llanque Nationale, the security resented c@nsisting of forged hills of ading.The amount mentioned in the indictment, is $813.20.Mr.Dunbar, Q.C., outlined the case.After referring to the details mentioned above, Mr.Dunbar said that Richard was a clerk in the employ of Polley and Scott, and as the firm was in need of money they drew drafis on customers, and in order to get these discounted, Richard secured a number of bills of lading, whereby it appears that certain goods had been shipped between the dates of 29th May and 5th June.These were the securl- ty offered (he bank.The drafts are purported to be Signed by Mr.T.E.Martin, of the C.P.R., and the repre sentation made was that the bills Were genuine, Mr.A.Malouin, Q.C., followed Mr.Dunbar tn French.The first wilness was Joseph Richard.Mr.Malouin conducted the examination.Witness was in the employ of Polley and Scott and previously with Polley & Co., from 15th December, 1896, On the 25th May, Polley left for the west on a business trip, and before leaving told Richard that whatever drafts fell due at the hank must be met amd that things must be done as formerly.Richard bere asked for the protection of ihe court in case anything he might say wonld incriminate him, Judge Bosse assurred him that his evidence would not be uwed against him and the examination procecded.In January, 1897, Polley forced witness on pain of dismiswal, to forge bills of lading for the purpose of ohlaining money from the Manque Nationale, and he was instructed to do this whenever necessary.It was impossible to secure money unless the bills of lading were attached to the drafts.He secured the money hy means of the false bills and the signglure he forged was that of T.E.MaMin, C.P.R.agent.Soot! was osiginally emploved by Polley & Co.as foreman of the leather cutting department and knew nothing of bonking methods.Mr.Lane crors-examined the witness.\u2014When Scott was admitted to partnership he wax shown a statement of the asweta and liabilities of Polley & Co., which statement wan drawn up by Richard on Polley's orders.It wax the right side of about 36000 when not.correct, as il showed à halance on \u2018in reality the balance was the other way.The machivery was valued far loo high, and \"the proceeds of the trafts cashed on false bills were coun led as assets, when the goods had not seen shipped.Polley kpew this, but wished a partner, and the state nent was intended Lo show the firm n a bright light.In reality the surplus was imaginary.From January (887, until June, he had secured mo- aey from La Banque Nationale mauy imes on false bills, out when ihe for- sry commenced Scott had nothing to lo with th?office.After the partner hip, in the absence of Polley, Scott dgned the drafis, which had been fill- xd in by witness.Fach of the drafts were drawn at 90 days.Scott did wt know that the witness had orders ta forge.ere THE OPERATIONS AT SPION KOP.(Contonued From First Page).i0t have taken more than two or three ours for Thoruvetoft to communicate 1Y meséenger with Major-General Coke ir Warren.Coke appcars to have left 3pion Kop at 9.30 p.m.for the pur- wse of consulting with Warren.Up o that hour the idea of withdrawal ad not been entertained.Yet almost mmediately after Coke's departure \u201chornyeroft issued the order, without eference to superior authority, which wpset the whole plan of aperations and -ondered unavailing the sacrifices al- eady made to carry it into effect.THORNYCROKT'S BRAVERY.On the other hand, it is only right o state that Thornyeroft appears to rave behaved in a very gallant man- er throughout the day.BULLER'S STATEMENT, Gen.Buller\u2019s report commenting on jeu.Wacrens reports of the capture uid evactintion of Spion Kop, after tisputing the correctness of some of Varrew's asservations and describing he dangerous situation occupied Ly Narren's foree, tells how he saw the \u2018ures at Spion Kop had given away æfnre Warren knew of it.Buller, therefore, telegraphed to Warren : \"Un ess you put & really good hard-fight- ng mai in command on top, you will ose the hill.| suggest Thornycroft\u201d DEFENCE POSSIBLE, Gen.Buller continues: I have hought it necessary to order an in- estigation.If, at sundown, the de \u2018ence of the summit had been taken in and, entrenchments lid out and the lead and wounded removed, the whol.face would have been brought under ~egular military commands and the ills would have been held I am sure.dut no arrangement was made.Coke appears lo have besn ordered away ust as he would have been useful, and 10 one succeeded him.Those on top were ignorant.of the fact that guns were coming up, and generally there was a want of organization and sys em that acted most unfavorably ¢ni the defence.Thorpyeroft\u2019s command acted with the rreatest gallantry ihroughout ihe day, and really saved dhe situation.Hut fence should have doen organized dur- \u2018ug the day and commenced at nightfall.As this was not done, § think Tharnycroft exercised wise discretion - WARREN'S NEGLECT.not himself visit Spion Kop in te ifternonn or evening, knowing, as he did, thdt the state of affairs was very critical, and that the loss of the pesi tion would involve the failure of the operations.le consequently was ob liged to stmmon Coke to his headquarters, and the command at Spicn Kop thus devolved on Thornycroft, unknown to Coke, who was under tht impression that the command devolved upon Cel.Hill, as senior officer.Owlesions or mistakes of this nature may be trivial in themscives, yet they may exercise an important influence on the sourse of cvenis, and I believe Buller was justified in remarking\u2014There was a want of organization and system which acted most unfavorably on the defence, ATTEMPT WELL DEVISED.The.attempt to relieve Ladysmitl: was well devised, and 1 agree with Buller: in thinking it ought to lave succeeded.That it failed may in some measure have been due lo the ditficul ties of the ground and the command: ing position held hy the ememy, aw probably also ta errors of psdgment on the part of Warren.BULLER TO BLAME.But, whatever faults Warrep may have committed, the failure must als be attributed to the disinclination « the officer in supreme command fo as sert his autholiiy and see that what he thought best was done and alse Lo the unwarrantable and needless as sumption of responsibility by a sutr ordinate officer.BEHAVIOUR OF THE TROOQS The despatch concludes : The gratifying feature of thewe despatches is the admirable behaviour of the troops throughout the

17.\u2014 The Republican State Convention to-dav was not enthusiasuic at its morning session, but was demonstrative.At its afternoon session it demonstrated that se far as individual delegates went they were not quite decided in the preference a5 to whether Governor Hoose velt should be a candidate for Governor or for Vice-President ; whether they wanted Timothy Woodruff Licut enant-Governor

but the desire for closer union must come from the circumference.In stating thus cle- rly and concisely the conditions in which Imperial Federation can be accomplished, Mr.Chamberlin demonstrated the true nature of the prob- len that has to be solved.And Lord Rosebery had no difficulty in giving his hearly adherence 10 the views expressed by the Colonial Secretaryireat Britain is quite conscious of her own purity of purpose in desiring closer union.But a false move on her part at the present time would aise 1 hast of dificult questions Which would not fail to excite suspicion and We know only iwo well what is the power of smail minorities and how easy il is to raise doubt and disquiet by inginnating motives which lo not exist, exciting prejudices which have no foundation in fact, and sowing the needs of mutual distrust, Though the Empire is at this crisis of one mind as to the justice of the war, it would be foolish to imagine that an equal unanimity prevails as to the advantages of federation, and of the means whereby that end can be ac complished.Yet there is no reason why there should be any hesitancy on the part of our statesmen to dwell on the benefit which a united Empire must have, not merely on (he compoîent parts.of such a great federation, hut on the whole world.lord Rosebery admitted that the British Empire is viewed very dil- ferentiy by ourselves and by our neigh bors.he British Empire, in his own admirable definition, is free, un- aggressive and Lolerant; and that cannot be said of any other Empire in the history of the world.Its trade is free, and foreign nations benefit largely from the fact.Individual liberty is untrammelled within the ne cessary restrictions of the law.And no country shows such large toleration to the persecuted of all nations who seek refuge on its shores as the United Kingdom.11 has been the champion and friend of liberty in all uarters of the globe.Th-se who are in denouncing British failings apd British prejudices have always been, most ready tu throw themselves on the indulgence of the British people, knowing well that on British soil alone will they find a safe harbour from their enetuics.Among ourselves toleration ia supreme, All the Churches and sects are at liberty to follow the lines on which = their consciences bid them develop.Religious persecution is a thing of the past; 5 (and «vil and religious liberty is ap- sured to all.In his eloquent panezy- ric Lord Rosebery paused for a Mmoment fo consider whether or not it was just to say that the British Empire was unaggiessive.We know that there are wome among ourselves, how many we know not, who believe or profess to belleve that the present war is n war of aggression.British Government.is by those advocates of our enemies accused of forcing (he South African Republics to declare war against this countty.A war Cannot logically be called aggressive, however, when it is the result of the presumably agurievi an ultimatum to aggressor, whose preparations for wat were lamentably inefficient, though our enemies had beep preparing for many vears io meet the emergency which they sprung wpon us.But thin is à qi be discussed.IL han no in t for any except the friends of | coun try's enemies.Great Britain did not embark on this war State addressing sword.\u2018To that dread arbiter because abe do- \u2018season, sired new territory, but because she received an ultimatum which left \u2018no choice but the arbitrament of the Hoer# appealed, aud they must abide by the result.But though we did not seek this war, and though the time is not yel opportune for the propo.l of any plan of Imperial Federation, yet one «im.has become clear to all, and that is maintenance of a consolidated Empire.For many years in the Motuer Country and in the Colonies the conception of a Commun destny fur Great Britain and her Colonies has been clearly grasped hy.a few.Now tt is spreading far and wide.Lord Rosebery recalled how in J 884-8, when this country was struggling to plant the seeds of freedom and justice in the Soudan, a statesman of New South Wales, the late Mr.Daly, offered to send a contingent of Volunteers to zid the Mother Country in the arduous attempt which she had undectaken.That offer, however, was made not merely because New South Wales was cor vinced of the justice of our cause, and was fired with an overwhelining love of freedom and light, but also because even then some thoughtful nips among our cujonists were conviuced that Fhe closer the Colonies drew to the Mother Country the greater would be the security of thie Colonies and of those institutions which all hold sacred.The Australasian Colonies have since then recognized even more Clearly that they cannot, to adopt Lord Hosebery's phrase, Le an Empire of isolation and have peace in the Pacific.Other European Powers are establishing themselves there.Rival interests and racial diflerences cannol be ignored.In union the Colonies will find safety and strengtli; in isolation they can have no security.Canada is in à slightly different position ; hut she has her own problems to solve with a powerful neighbour, The natural course of events must, therefore, bring about the desre for closyr unity, and it must, and will, come from without.Turning to Europe, Lord Rosebery did not attempt to minimize the suspicion, jealousy, and hatred which the peoples, thought not the Governments, of a great part of urope enterlain towards us.The Empire as it stands is on its trial.À great army is at present in South Africa to safeguard one of the interests of the Empire.But there are nuuv other interests wlich must be guarded, and we cannot therefore afford to be weak.At pre sent the war in South Africa is taxing our strength.We must be prepared lo show that the Empire is capable of defending itself in all parts of the world.For in our strength ix our only safety.The jealousy and hatred with which many regard us are the result of ignorance.Lord Ros= bery vertinently asked how the world would get along if Great Britain were obliterated from the map of the world and her possessions confiscated.But there is no safety fur such an Empire as ours in the ignorance and prejudice of those who denounce it.The time has come for the Empire to examine seriously the new obligations and res ponsibilities which recent events have made manifest.It must be prepared to make strenuous and sustained efforts th assure a permanent peace ; and this can onlv be done bv mailing it invincible.\u2014London Morning Post, April 5.\u2014_\u2014\u2014 nt Cook's Ootton Root Compound 13 successtully used monthly by over 10.007 Ladies.Safe, effectua].Ladies ask our drogetet for Coslr's Catton Rest rod re no other, as nl) Mixtures, pilisand imttattons are dan a, Frice, Ma.1 Spor boxt Ne.9, 10 deg: stronger.$8 per bax.Nol'or}, malied on reocipt of price and two Sent \u201camps: The Cook Com, any Windsor, Ont.tF-Nos.1 81d 3 sold and recommended by al responsible Druggiste in Conada.@#r No.1 and No.3 is sold or ad CS i» in Quebec by at \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 ENGLISH VIOLETS.They Covered the Remains of Thomas A.Parker Yesterday.The funeral of Tromas A.Parker was held from Christ Episcopal church yesterday aflterncon.After a short prayer al his latc residence, 435 Jefferson avenue, by Rev.W.D.Maxon, the remains were escorted across the street, where the beauliful Episcopal service was conducted by the rector, assisted by Revs.John A.Chapin and Clarence Buell.The casket, which was & very handsome one, was completely covered with a blanket of English violets, on top of which Jay a cross of white roses and a crown of English violets.The vested choit of Christ's church rendered the music.The pall- were as follows : Honorary\u2014 R.E.Jamieson, J.E.Pittman, II.B.Ledyard, S.D.Miller, W.J.Gray.JC.vith, Jr, H.K.Jones, J, H.Bissell, J.Harrington Walker, Alexander Lewis.Active\u2014H.B.Lewis, W.P.Harris, Hamilton Dey, R.MeClel- lan Brady, Ross Wilkins, Dr.R.Adlington Newman, Sidney T.Miller and N.G.Williams.The interment was at Elmwood \u2014 Detroit Free Press.\u2014\u2014aans 1200 Records just received from the Columbla factory, the newest and loudest;
