Titre :
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)

Ottawa, Oct.19.\u2014After the cabinet council this evening Premier Borden announced taat Dr.T.S.Sproule, M.P.for East Grey, for the past 30 years, would be speaker of Commons for the ensuing Parliament.While it ia not definitely settled, Mr.P.E.Blondin, M.P.for Champlain, is very likely to be appointed deputy speaker.Dr.Sproule is popular on both sides of the House and his extended Parli.mentary experience has given him a knowledge of rules and precedent unrivalled by any public man.Blondin won his recognition last Parliament and will make an imparital dep-' uty speaker.Nothing definite has been decided regarding the speaker | of the senate, but Senator Landry ap- pedrs likely to get the plum, the more so as the speakership of the Commons goes to an English-speaking man.All indications point to a clean sweep being made of the National Transcontinental Commission, the Intercolonia! Board vf Management and the Canadian section on International Waterways Commission.\\ UNDER MT, SOFA Work Will Cost $25,000,000 and Engineering Problem Will Be Remarkahle.Toronto, Oct.19\u2014The Toronto morning papers tomorrow will publish a statutory advertisement giving notice that the Canadian Northern Montreal Tunnel and Terminal Company, Limited, will make application at the coming session of the federal house for authority to construct and operate a railway tunnel from Montreal, westerly under Mount Royal, with the necessary approaches and works.The advertisement bears the signature of Gerard Ruel, solicitor for the Canadian Northern Railway.A reliable estimate places the cost of this work at about $25,000,000, The tunnel itself will be approximately three miles long.The engineering problem invested, which was seriously considered for years by the executives of other roads, has always been looked at askance.No details have yet been announced as to the location of the city terminals, or regarding the precise location of the tunnel, but the application to Parliament is very comparative, asking authoyity to construct and operate lines of railway connecting the tunnel and works with the tracks of the Canadian Northern Ontario and Quebec Railway's and with the lines of the harbor commissioners and for power allowing the acquirement of easements in respect to lands affected, and the granting or making of lands or structures in mitigation of damages resulting from the undertaking.Simultaneously with this announce ment comes a statement that the city site of Port Mann, on the Pacific Coast which is to be the other terminus of the company's transcontinental system, will be placed on the market very shortly.Plans for the handling of both railway and steamship traffic at this port have been very thoroughly worked out, and it is expected the new city will have à population of fully 20,000 within five or six years.* SCHWEPPES ~ OF LCNDON

the state was given \u2018its first opportunity for the examination of prospective jurors.Attorney Clarence 8 Darrow, chief | of counsel for the defence, turned over the full jury box, reserving the \u2018privilege of examining one man further if he liked.: \u2019 Three other men are under challenge for bias, zwaiti ing from Judge Bordwell.The state, within a \u201cfew minutes.successfully challenged John W.Roberts, a real estate dealer, who had fixed scruples against capital punishment, and began the examination of T.W.Adams, a retired real estate dealér.No talesmen were called today to replace Roberts.The list >f talesmen tonight stood: .F.D.Green, crange grower.T.W.Adams, retired real estate dealer, Seabors Manning, rancher.A.R.McIntosh, retired baker.Robert Rain,

occurred, but that reading a Socialist publication had altered it and he now believed the Times building was blown up by gas.% ttormey Horton showed him an extensive statement bearing the signature of B.F.Bond one of Adams\u2019 neighbors, who said the witness had told him among other things that he could not believe the Times building was blown up by dynamite, as the state averred.Adams said he did not remember the occasion on this the statement was said to have been made, but recollected having said something to Bond.\u201cDoes this statement express your views at that time?\u201d asked Attorney Horton.\u201cYes,\u201d said Adams.His examination will be resumed tomorrow.BOY ACCIDENTALLY .SHOT BY FRIEND.Halifax, N.S., Oct.19\u2014Telephone advices from Centreville, Digby County,

started this year at the Arctic circle and completed the line to within thirty miles of the Arctic ocean.The work coosists-of cutting paths twenty feet wide through the dense timber, putting up bronze monuments af average distances of three miles apart, and mapping the country.The expedition consisted of ninety mea and two hundred horses.surveyors composed about half of the joint party.The survey of the boundary between the northern possessions of the United States and Canada is costing the two governments jointy abcut two million.The work has been going on for the past two years, but will be completed probably next year.Work on the 14ist meridian has been under way for the past five years.With the extension of the line from Davidson's Mountains, where it was left this year, to the Arctic

Hon.Mr.McKay.Toronto, Ont, Oct.19.-At a meeting of all the Liberal members of the Legislature, as wcll as the Liberal candidates who have been chosen to contest seats in the approaching election, held this afternnon at the offices of the Ontario Refarm Association, à resolution was passed.on motion of Daniel Reid, M.P.P., for Wentworth, and J.C.Elliott, M.P.P., for West Middiesex, expressing confidence in the leadership of Mr.Mac- Kay, and he will continue to lead the party in the next election.After the meeting the following statement was issued by C.N.Smith, former M.P.P.for Sault Ste Marie: \u201cThe general political situation in Ontario was freely discussed by the members of the caucus, and the unanimous conclusion was expressed that the Whitney government had failed to measure up to the expectations of the people of Ontario.The census returns just published, coupled with the conspicubus inability of the administration to take advantage of its great opportunity in the north country, were yuoted as evidences of the necessity for a change of government in Ontario.\u201cIt wag felt that the agricultural policy of the Whitney government, so far as Old Ontario is concerned, and the colonization policy in connection with the agricultural lands in New Ontario is entirely inadequate.The census returns show that the Whitney policy has not only not re- tained the natural increase in the rural population of Old Ontario, but has absolutely failed to secure any part of the large immigration entering Canada for either New or Old Ontario, 80 much so that the rural population of the whole province has actually decreased duting the regime of the present government.\u201d STEAMER ARRIVALS.Liverpool\u2014Arabic, Boston.Plymouth\u2014President Grant, New York,

A.Macdonald.editor-in- chief of the Toronto Globe, in an address here this evening as the guest of the Knife and Fork Club.Mr.Macdonald responded to the toast \u201cThe English speaking

for the Expected Addition to the Population, Ottawa, Ont, Oct.19.\u2014It is not likely that there will be any further announcement as to the details of the Canadian census until some time in November.The most important bulletins still to be issued are those which deal with the population of electoral divisions, the nationality and religions of the Canadian people.On a percentage basis, the increase in population is satisfactory.the betterment in ten years being 32 per cent The biggest percentage increase ever reached by the United States was 24 per cent.Alberta gained 411 per cent, Saskatchewan 396 per cent, British Columbia 103 per cent, Manitoba 78 per cent, Quebec 21 per cent, Ontario 15 per cent, New Brunswick 6 per cent, and Nova Scotia % per cent.Prince Edward Island shows a falling off of 9 per cent.During the decade 1.705375 immi grants arrived in Canada.which, with the natural increase, should bave made the popnlation sbout eight millions, The only explanation of thé

NEW YORK CITY.The The Quebey \u2018FRIDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1911.- THE CENSUS AND TMMIGRA- , TION.} The census figures show an incresse of 1,710,554 in the past decade.The immigration figures for the same period show that during that period we have reccived 1,705,375 arrivals, an { smouat almost equal to the total gain in population.According to these figures, then, our natural increase in the whole of ten years has only smount- ed to a little more than five thousand ~\u2014which is absurd on the fact of it.A good deal more than five hundred births occur every year in Canada.It must follow, therefore, that there must be a serious leakage from this comntry, either because the native- born emigrate or the immigrants do not settle in this country.Probably both of these things are causes.In any event the matter deserves serious consideration, and might well be made the subject of investigation.We are spending large sums of money to attract immigrants to this country and we have fondly believed all slong that we were making a success of the business.Of course the trouble may be accounted for by inaceursey in the taking of the census, but ths\u2019 commissioners had ample time to do their wotk thoroughly, and there can be little excuse for remissiness in that respect.: COMMERCE AND WAR.The influences which are apparently operating to restrain the Italians and the Turks may be

gigantic structure of fleets and armies which impress the civilisation of our times, Mr.Churchill pointed out how states and governments today \u201cfind themselves bound together, interlaced and interwoven onc with work of trade interests, of commercial trans- & | actions, of intercommunication, of re- ÿ | ciproeal insurance and of friendly con- ! { nection.\u201d He asserted that states and

October A year ago we introduced a plan to supply Christmas Presents a couple of months in advance; our plan proved very successful, a great quantity of goods were disposed of and a large number of our customers were saved the worry and trouble of selecting gifts during - the rush time in December.This Season we have selected a portion of our stock that we will display inour Show Windows with the prices in large figures, so that visitors may know at a glance the price of each article.The Prices will sell the Goods For Example , We have à lot of glass fruit dishes in silver plated wickerframes.These dishes did not sell as rapidly as we expected, and now we must make room for newer goods, consequently the original price will be cut in 0.A six-dollar dish for three dollars; a four-dollar dish for twa dollars.For very special values we recommend our customers to buy our one-doliar line of fancy goods.This line will include metal jewel boxes, brass ink stars, pen trays, racks, stamp boxes, candlesticks, photo frames, fern dishes, tea caddies, vases.These are standard goods, They are all useful.The quality is the best.The only difference between them and the goods that we will display in December will be in the decoration or in the pattern, and the price now is half or less than half what the new goods will cost.\u2014\u2014\u2014 G.SEIFERT & SONS Jowelers ,

lose and the furthest to fall if a rupture occurred.It'is not an easy matter these days for governments to move recklessly in the presence of tremendous industrial, financial and business forces that are making the great nations of the world more and more interdependent.Mr.Churchill finds in this fact an argument for the assumption that the peace of Europe will not be seriously threatened for a long time to come.AFTER 8IX MONTHS.Last March a fire started in the loft of a twelve-story building in New York, The doors were barred.One hundre dand forty-three women were burned in the fire,

disaster possible.They demanded reform of the factory laws.The world\u2019s press devoted pages to the fire and its circumstances.The other day the New York factory investigation commission, appointed because of that fire\u2014began its hearing.\u2018Seven of the nine members of the commission, three lawyers, two paid experts and five reporters were present, seventeen persons in ail.The papers hardly gave the meeting a line.THE NEW YORK HERALD.The defeat of reciprocity has cast a mantle of gloom over the New York Herald, and it has evidently decided to shut up shop as far as Canada is concerned.It is sov.disappojnted in Canadians that it refuses to play with them any more.All its efforts to bring about our commercial subjugation have proved fruitiess and it now confesses that it waa mistaken in ite opinions of.Canada\u2019s good business sense.There is little doubt that it was mistaken.though hardly in the way in which it imagines.To use the choice phraseolofy of its confere, Mr.Hearst's Boston American, it has discovered that Canadiens are no \u201cmutts.\u201d Consequently the Herald has decided to close up its Ottawa bureau \u201cfor the present.\u201d Ite \u201cgoad intentions\u201d have heen misunderstood, and it thetefore considers it time to take this course in order to prevent further misconception and (save the @hroniclg mark!) to bring Cansdians to their senses.Jee action, it considers, will \u201chave Bme to bring Canadians to à realisation of where their true interests lie\u201d Too bad, eh! Having thus played the role of the sorrowful, albeit long-suffering parent, the Herald then concludes with the following gem: 7 \u201cBut if the United States bad auy | designs on Canada, neither the Canadians nor their overlord, England, could prevent it from: carrying out such designs.\u201d 5 This is rich, and, under the circum- tances, it is Just as well that the Herald does intend to leave us alone for a while.There can be no misunderstanding the above.Of course, Canada can well laugh at such a piece of ridiculous Insolence and.bluff which is, no doubt, due to the chagrin experienced by the journal in question over the defeat of its pet scheme.She has heard similsz Yankee bombast before.In years gone dy, for instance, General Hull perpetrated a bombastic declaration of the same kind.Others have done it at various times.But if ever they crossed the border they usually went back quicker than they came.PIANO ENDURANCE TESTS, How far does proficiency of a certain sort cause 3 performer's fame to be extended?From Pennsylvania to Kansas, perhaps, for the Kansas City Journal-makes 2 note of the fact that Harry A.Berinett of Bethlehem, Pa, has broken the world's record for the continuous playing of a piano, his time being twenty-seven hours, forty- six minutes and three seconds.Those benighted persons who are unfamiliar with the method for conducting this sort of a contest will be interested in knowing that during the long period in which Bennett was doing his idiotic stunt, he did not remove either hand from the keys, and that liquid refreshment was administered to him \u201cin abundance.\u201d Since it requires all sorts of people to populate a planet.somé excuse may be found for the existence of those - individuals who persist in thumping pianos.Also the sporting spirit in various people manifests itself in curious ways.One man will risk his neck racing an automobile, another will seek championship honors by taking chances on his stomach in eating contests.But participants in paino-playing marathons imperil the immortal souls of all in the vicinity.Of all the wholly unprofitable and \u201chopelessly imaneiperformances on the calendar of imbecility,\u201d the least defensible, the most teprehénsible is the endurance test in \u2018torturing a piano.\"Compared with the, feat of pounding a piano against time, catching a greased .pig or attemptingto utilize a pair of boxing gloves in picking fleas off a dog, seems to be a rational undertaking or a praiseworthy endeavor, Longdistance dancers sometimes kill themselves by waltzing strenuously for hours, but the marathon pianist puts thoughts of murder in the heart of every one in the neighborhood.Music has charms, but piano endurance tests are more than most people can stand.REGARDING THE YELLOW PERIL.Whenever there seems to be danger of war in which China or Japan may be involved, there is usually talk about the \u201cyellow peril,\u201d a term that refers to the supposedly overwhelming numerical superiority of the Mongolian races.That this apprehension is not justified was shown not long ago by an article quoted fom the Indianapolis News.It may be thought by those who have not investigated the matter that the Mongolians vastly outnumber the Caucasians.Such is not the case.The numbers given in a matter of this kind must necessarily le only approximate, and more\u2019.gr fess inaccuraté, béot-fatiMiaigs gives the races as @0,- X 0 Jor the\u2019 Gow casians-is 680; , out of 5 grind total of all races of -5520,000000, .China has about :amo-tBirdi (of the entire Mongolian population, but present events are showing that it is net an harmanious nation, and thare are, and have been for a long time, feuds.and differences that kave foade it anything but a united ome.Ît is not a military country, and if it were there remains the fact that Wot a friction of its people ure acquainted with the means of warfare, and that millions of them have never seen a rifle.But those who speak of the \u201cyeliow peril\u201d think that some day all this vast population will be taught warfare or that it will be made into a formidable military force.Such a result can only be brought about, if ever, in the remote future.It is a contingency concerning which there need be no anxiety for many years.While China is making rapid progress, comparatively speaking, no such change is passing over it as has occurred in the case of Japan.The \"yellow peril\u201d has been overrated in a number of ways.It does not constitute a menace now, nor a very terrible one for the future.AGE OF ACHIEVEMENT, ; \"On what he says will grobably be the last voyage but one he will ever make a cross the Atlantic, Lord Strathcona arrived in New: York the other day, on his way frorg England to the Dominion.As the veteran peer, standing on the deck of the giant Maureténie, viewed the unfolding panorama of skyscrapers: and great bridges, looming over the inner bay of the American metropolis, he grew reminiscint.and recalled how it had once taken him days to make the journey he just made in four and a half.It is more than three score years since Strathcona made his maiden trip across the seas in an old packet ship, and in that time, the world awaking from its ceñturies of inertia, has evolved rhost of these electrical and engineering wonders which make for present.day efficiency and enable us to do in ore hour what formerly took us twenty to accomplish.It is true Stephenson and Watt in England, and Cooper in the United States.had put forth their first: steam locomotives, Fulton his river steambost, Murdock, the Scot, illumination by gas, and Morse and Wheatstone their systems of telegraph, Though crude and primitive, these inventions, which gave a new impetus to civilization, set men thinking and \u2018fired their imagination as nothing from the beginning - of time had done before.Contrasted with the -nidèty days taken by the Pilgrims to make the trip in the Mayflower from England to Cape Cod in.1620, the three months spent in negotiating his way from London to Baltimore by the original John Jacob Astor, and the eighty days required by Ben Franklin to go from New York to France, Lord Strathcona's voyage of forty-two days marked as important and epoch- making a step in the world's evolution as does his more recent four- day voyage, though he probably did not suspect it.In the time it took him to make his forty-two-day journey across the Atlantic, Jayer-Schmidt, a Paris journalist, recently circled the globe for his newspaper.Thus,\u201d that which challenged our admiration and won- | der last year or yesterday, to-day commands but passing notice.From the sailing ship to the steamship was a long stride, and likewise the transition from the stage coach and the pony express to the steam railroad.The land operated telegraph, with its limitation of fifteen words a minute, which brought the remotést corner of the world into constant touch with the centres of civilization, and destroyed the natural isolation of nations and communities, wonderful in its day and genetation, like the original steamship and locomotive, now seems immature compared to the 1.000 words a minute telepost system of automatic telegraph which transmits over one wire as much-as Morse sent over sixty-five and at a fraction of the expense.Wellington, at Waterloo, bivouackad by candle light, and Florence Nighingale, the \u201cAngel of the.Crimea,\u201d administefed to the 198 survivors of the Light Brigadethe noble 600\u2014of Balaclava, hy oil lamp.\u201cBobs\u201d in the Transvaal, shaped his campaign by gas, and Togo, the naval hero of the Japanese- Russian war, recently a visitor to the Dominion, by electric light.¢ Practically all of these changes have come to pass in the lifetime of Strathcona.In meditating on them, as he looks back to the first of the 100 trans-Atlantic trips he has made in the last sixty years, truly can he felicitate with the world and say, this is an age worth while.Man's Misery Promptly Banished ¢From \u2018Man's Maladies.\u201d) A certain sort of misery which causes a man to become abject in manner, timid, suspicious and jealous without real warrant, can be readily banished by a systematic nerve treatment which can be followed out in the privacy of home and restoration of a normal or natural condition speedily ensues, A man feels and knows when he is not getting out of life all that it holds, and this knowledge makes the misery which occurs with such symptoms ay unsteady gait, weak voice, doywncast eyes, cold extremities, loss of flesh, loss of self control, lack of self cs- teem, pains in the back and back part nf the head, shooting pains, heart palpitation, nervousness, sleeplessness, hollow eyes, sunken cheeks, colorless lips, dizziness and trembling.The requirement to overcome these dreadful symptoms is a restoration of power and strength to the nervous system which has been poorly nourished or abused by thoughtless eating, drinking or social duties, perhaps su- perinduced by overwork.Keen, strong, sensitive nerves which carry every sensation or emotion to thef.brain centers or consciousness can and should be the possession of every living individual, Let this prescription be used and the result will surely reward the efforts.Obtain of any

contemplating the adoption of serious measures in order to recoup themselves for financial losses resulting from the recent shipping strike in England.The recent increase of freight rates has not compensated them to the extent anticipated for the larger expenditure in pay to the men.Consideration is now being chief of which is that a lesser num- wer of big liners shall be commissioned for passage and freight service this winter to the United States and Canada.The outcome of sth a step would be that some hundreds of sailors, firemen and shore hands at Liverpool and other ports would be

John, Jr, à few months old, neither of whom held a card.Mrs, Foust was the star witness at the trial of John Louden, her husband and eight others, who had been arrcsted in a raid on Louden's room.At the close of the hearing Judge Collins looked across the bench at the tear-stained face of Mrs.Foust and the smiling face of her baby, who was in her arms, and said the last \u201cjackpot,\u201d about $25, was theirs, \u201cYou may question my right to do this,\u201d remarked the judge, looking at Louden and the others, \u201cbut if you do, go ahead and replevin the money.\u201d No one objected.The $25 was the amount Mrs.Foust said her husband should have brought home.INFANTILE PARALYSIS CURED Dr.Henry W.Frauenthal, surgeon- in-chief of the Hospital for Deformities and Joint Diseases, at Madison Avenue and One Hundred and Twenty-fourth street, N.Y.told a reporter yesterday that in some 1.500 cases of infantile paralysis treated there within the last five years there had been 30 per cent of cures and every other case had been greatly benefited.i \u201cRational treatment\u201d is the method employed.The regular treatment as given in the dispensary of the hospital lasts for about half an hour and takes place every other day.Scores of mathers with babies on their arms, or leading children, besiege the doors évery afternoon, and the capacity ôf the institution is tried to the utmost.After from five to seven minutes of electrical treatment by a trained nurse, the child receives the massage treatment for 10 or 15 minutes more.The most effective part of the treatment is that which follows.In a large basement room are scveral flat tables, so arranged that children can be laid upon them facing a mirror.Then the little unwilling muecles are gradually exercised.The child i« told to move the refractory limb slowly and patiently, according to prescribed rules and in ceriain dirce- tions which bring the paralyzed mus- cies into play.Mcanwhile the child watches its own reflection in the glass, The children\u2019 take it all as a new, merry game, and thus grow well without knowing it.MEN'S MISSIONARY .CONGRESS IN MONTREAL Montreal, Oct.19\u2014A long distance

Reported On\u2014_\u2014) Philadelphia, Pa, Oct.19\u2014At a meeting here to-day of the executive committee of World's Sunday School Association which was attended by Sabbath school leaders from Europe, Africa, and America, it was voted to hold the: world\u2019s 7th Sunday school convention in Zurich, Switzerland, July 8 to 16, 1913.Wm.N.Hartshorn, of Boston, Vice-Presi- dent of the World's Association, and President of the International Sunday Bchool \u2018Convention, made a lengthy report of the recent visit to European cities.in the interests of world-wide Sunday school work.Bishop Burt, whose home is in Zurich, emphasized the desirability of that city for the convention.He said that if it was the desire of the world's association to influence the continent of Europe Zurich was a strategic city.; Bishop Hartzell, LL.D, of Maderia, West Africa, addressed the committee at length, stating that because of the inspiration of the world\u2019s association in 1907, organized mission work haa been inaugurated in North Africa, and for the first time in centuries, the organized church.it happens to be the Methodist Episcopal, is engaged in work on the shores of the Mediterranean along the thousands of miles of coast from Egyptto Gibraltar.There are now 27 missionaries at work.Those attending the conference represented 285,000 Sunday schools and SOCIAL REFORM AND THE GOSPEL Former Can Never Be a Substitute for the Latter, Says Professor Farmer, Montreal, Oct.19\u2014Social reform could never be a substitute for the Gospel, \u2018said Prof.J.H.Farmer at the Baptist convention to-night.The spirit of Christ must be applied to business and to the affairs of state All citizens were responsible for the cursed drink traffic, and if all the so- called Christians were to band themselves together, it would have to go, and the white slave traftic would also disappear at lightning speed.It was horriblé fo think that no young woman could land at a Canadian railway station by herself and be quite safe.Touching on the existence of slums, the speaker said that so ivng as the increase in the value of land went into the pockets of the few instead of into the pockets of the many who created it, so long would there be slums.It was to the honor of a Baptist, Lloyd-George,, that a long step in the direction of giving the people their rights had been taken.Western missions was the theme on which Rev.D.B, Harkness, the Superintendent of Missions, spoke.He told of the restless spirit of the immigrants and of the presence of Baptists in the West without places of worship and also of the Russians who were hungering for the Gospel.The expense of the work was greater than in the thickly populated towns of the east.At to-night's gathering it was decided to send a telegram of greeting 28,000,000 scholars.Among those in attendance were the following : W.T.Hartshorn, Boston, Vice-Pre- sident; Fred.A, Wells, Chicago, Treasurer; Bert Cashman, Chicago, Acting Secretary ; Frank L.Brown, New York; H.J.Heinz, Pittsburg ; A.B.McCrillis, Providence; E.H.Nichols, Chicago ; G.W.Penniman, Boston; Justice J.J.MacLaren, Toronto.TWENTY NEW COLLERIES IN NOVA SCOTIA

some of the Aldermen would pay more attention to the cleaning up of the city, and placing it in a proper hygienic condition, instead of wasting their time talking about the speed of automobiles, they would be doing a good deal more good.Notwithstanding the narrow streets of Quebec, there has not been one fatal accident during the past year.It is not necessary to draw your attention to the many fatalities which have occurred in many larger cities of not alone Canada but also the United States.Some of the Aldermen who talk of the speed of automobiles should try and find out some other means by which they can get their names hefore the public.Yours truly, PUBLIC HEALTH.PERSONALS.Hon.Geo.R.Smith, of Montreal, is a guest at the Chateau.Dr.E.A, LeBel, of this city, has to Winnipeg and the

tee\u2014Water Supply to City Hospitals.\u2014 Two civic epmmittees, fire and finance, held megtings in the City Hall last cvening, the formet being presided over by Ald.Lockwell and the latter by Ald.Cannon.Others present being Mayor Drouin and Alder men Messervy, Delisle, Emond, Cots, Lamontagne, Bergevin, Pouliot, Lavigneau, Verret, Trudel, \u2018Madden, Gosselin, Beaumont, Goulet, Morin, Guillot and Mulroney.Mayor Drouin informed the committee that pursuant to a resolution of the committee, Chief Hamel, Ald.Bergevin and himself had called upon the Quebec Harbor Commissioners to try and exchange the property, on which No.5 fire station recently destroyed, was crected, with another lot belonging to the commissioners, but the latter in reply asked the civic representatives for what amount they would sell their station site, adding that they had no available property for a fire station, as the car track passed through any property they.ad.Mayor Drouin remarked that he had visited the property in question and acknowledged that it would be impossible to etect a station \u2018there.The commissioners wanted the Mayor to fix a price on the station site as they were willing to purchase it and had a right to expropriate the property as it is probable that tracks wiil be laid along the wharves next summer.His Worship remarked that a temporary station would have to suit until a proper site was secured, and Ald.Madden suggested that certain sheds near the police station on Louise Basin might be secured from the com- 5 station was being rebuilt, while others were of opinion that a portion of the Rattray block, corner of St.Paul and Prince of Wales street would be a proper place for a temporary station.Mayor Drouin replied that he would ask the architect to give an estimate of the cost of temporarily repairing No.5 station, which could be used until another site was decided upon.Aid.Messervey moved that the matter be referred to the next meeting and that in the meantime Mayor Drouin and +\u2018 < architect find a site for a fire st.mn in St.Peter's ward, as apparently he present site was not available and that the architect give an estimate of the probable costs of repairing the present station and report as soon as possible to the committee, or + Ald.Cote suggested that Mr.Tal- on missionary work in Western Can- | returned home from a month's visit] ed bot, architect, should be requested to give an estimate of the cost of tem- :porarily placing the Lower Town station in the Rattray building.Ald.Madden was in favor of selling the site lately occupied as No.S fire: station and securing another property in Lower Town, as the Harbor Commissioners intended expropriating the land.He objected to a temporary lease as this meant that St.Peter's ward would not have a station for several years and also objected to Ald.Cote\u2019s motion for the employment of Mr.Talbot as architect when there were architects in St.Peter's ward who could do the work.Ald.Pouliot suggested that two stories of No.5 fire station be temporarily rebuilt and his suggestion appeared to meet with the approbation of the committee.Ald.Bergevin then proposed that the names of Messrs.Stanley & Stanley be substituted to that of Mr, Talbot, architects to estimate the cost of a temporary fire station in the Ratsray block and his motion was carried on the following division: For\u2014Ald.Bergevin, Messervey, Delisle, Lamontagne\u20144, Against\u2014Ald.Cote and Emond\u20142.Ald.Bergevin's motion was then declared adopted and the work will be awarded to Messrs.Stanley & Staney.Ald.Pouliot and Bergevin reported that after examining the tenders for the winter costumes of the Fire Brigade, they \u2018vere of opinion that the tender of F.Simard & Son for coats and pants at $11.29 was the most advantageous, and on motion of Ald.Messervey their report was adopted.A letter was read from Mr.Alleyn Taschereau, :advocate, requestig the committee to exempt the proprietors of Le Nationascope theatre, now Orpheom theatre, in St.Roch\u2019s, from paying the full theatre license of $300, declaring that as they were only doing business here since January last they were willing to pay half the license, $150, to the frst May next, and would after that date pay the full amount.Mr.Taschereau explained that the building had been erected by La Compagnie Immobiliere Champlain and that the theatrical company was willing to sign a lease for five years with the proprietors, but on condition that the city exempt them from paying half this years license as they were only doing business since January last.When Mr.Taschereau had left the committee room the committee decided not to grant the request.Letters from Mrs, Lacasae, widow of Sgt.Lacasse, and from Mrs.Savard, widow of the late Fireman Savard, asking that the committee grant them three months\u2019 salary were adopt.Another letter was read from Mra.Savard to the cffect that the day following her husband's burial, she had received $300 from the Firemen's Benefit fund, and that she was one of the victims of the fire in No.§ station.having lost all her fufniture besides the above amount in the fire and.that she had been taken to the Hotel Dieu, having been injured hy QUEBEC CHRONICLE Jumping from her residence over the Enjoyment tonight may mean sulfering to- morro, but not if your stomach,

committee grant her the amount which she had received from the Firemen's Benefit fund.Mayor Drouin and several aldermen remarked that Mrs.Savard's case was à specially unfortunate one, but as the committee could do nothing in the matter the request was referred to the legal advisers.The question of the approaches to Dorchester Bridge was then discussed.The bridge at present was 30 feet wide, but the city wanted to widen it to 40 feet and was now expropriating land on the north side of the bridge.The intention was also to widen Bridge street by 30 feet southwest of the bridge as far as Prince Edward street, thereby taking in a portion of the property recently occupied as a tollgate keeper's house and Mr.J.BO.Gagnon\u2019s lumbe.yard, Ald.Cote suggested that instead of expropriating 30 feet on the west side of Bridge street, the committee ask Mr.Drolet for what sum he would sell 15 feet of his property on the east side of Bridge street, between the bridge and Prince Edward street, and that was agreed to, but if the latter's price is too high, the committee will expropriste 30 feet on the west side and will pass a by-law to that effect.A letter was read from the Jeffrey Hale authorities offering to settle the city\u2019s claims for arrears of water taxes, for $2000.They are at present in arrears to the amount of $5176, but some time ago the commtitee decided to supply water to the Jeffrey Hale and Hotel Dieu Hospitals at 10 cents a thousand gallons of water.The request was referred to the committee on amendments to the city charter, as suck a permission must be granted by the Provincial Legislature.A letter was received from Mr.J.H.Fortier, secretary of the Quebec Exposition Comgany, informing the committee that the sum of $21,661 had been set aside for grize during the recent Quebec Exhibit.However, in certain classes no entries had been made and in others the judges had not awarded prizes, so that the company only paid out $18,182.60 as prizes.Ald.Cannon and Ald.Locklell, who were two out of the three representatives on the Exhibition committee, stated that they had attended sav.eral meetings of the Exhibition Company, and that they were highly satisfied with the manner in which the directors had carried out the arrangements.The company was willing to extend the city\u2019s option for the purchase of the grounds until after the prorogation of the next session of the Provincial Legislature, as the city had to obtain that permission, but on condition\u2019 that the city would pay the company the balance of the civic subsidy, $8000, before the 25th instant.Ald.Cote suggested that a special committee consisting of Mayor Drouin and Aldermen Cannon, Verrert, Trudel, Cote be tlamed to study this important question and report at a subsequent meeting.The suggestion was adopted and the committee decided to pay the company the halance of the civic subsidy.The purchase of the property would amount to about $93,000, the company being willing to sell the land to the city at 444 cents a foot and 50 pet cent of the cost of the buildings, and transferring their franchise and charter to the city.MEN'S MISSIONARY CONFERENCE, Vancouver, B.C, Oct.19\u2014Three sessions were held on this, the second day of the men\u2019s missionary convention which is to be followed by sim- lar conventions, province by province, throughout

efficacy af prayer in solving missionary problems, and the effective methods to employ in entist- ing men in the missions, were discussed at length, At the afternoon session the problem of the \u201clocal church\u201d in all phases of the missionary movement were presented and discussed.Organization of a missionary commit tee and educational programme for the local church created much interest and discussion, To-night able papers dealing with call to service and the significance of the world missionary conference held last year in Edinburgh were read by John R.Mott and Sir Andrew Fraser.BARNARDO HOME BOY LEAVES AN ESTATE Toronto, Ont, Oct.19.\u2014Frederick Hales of Mimico, an old Barnardo Home boy, has left an estate of $2,- 451.75, but has left no will with regard to how he

Linnell, the yoûng music teacher who died of cyanide of potassium poisoning, last Saturday even- Chief Dugan, of the police depart-| ment, had a conference this noon with Frank H, Carter, a Cam: bridge man.Mr.Carter has said that he knows the name of a male : friend of Miss Rinnell who, he be- tieves, furnished her with the poison with which she ended her life.The name of this acquaintance of Miss Linnell has not appeared thus far in connection with the case, Mr.Carter says, and he intimated that some surprises.might result from his intes- view with the police.Mr.Carter is a friend of Revd.Clarence V.Thompson Richeson, pastor of the Cambridge Immanuel Baptist Church, who is reported to have been engaged at one time to Miss Linnell.Whatever information Mr, Carter was able to give the police remained carefully guarded tonight.; Rev.Mr.Richeson occupies rooms in Mr.Carter's residence in Cambridge, but since last Saturday night when the tragic death of the young woman was announced he has been staying in Brookline at the home of Moses Grant Edmands, a wealthy parishioner, whose daughter is engaged to marry him.Invitations to the wedding which has been arranged for the latter part of October were issued .several days ago.Thus far Mr.Richeson has made no statement publicly regarding his acquaintance \u2018with Miss Linnell, though friends said to-day that hel would probably do so shortly.Until to-day he has been ill at the Edmands residence suffering from a severe attack, according to his physician.But this afternoon he was able to drive with Mrs.Fdmands for a short call at his rooms in Cambridge after which he returned to Brookline.ONTARIO ELECTION CASES IN COURT Toronto, Ont., Oct.19.\u2014Acting on behalf of Hon, W.A.Chariton, Liberal member-elect for

in the Ottawa Journal in defence of the City of Quebec, and quoted in a Quebec evening paper of the 18th instant, contains the following statement: \u201cThere is no filth about Quebec for which the population of that city can be held responsible.\u201d I regret exceedingly that the strongest exception must be taken to this statement; for the population of Quebec is directly responsible for the filthy condition of her sidewalks, due to promiscuous expectoration.There are times, especially aiter a prolonged spell of dry weather, when it is nothing short of nauseating to walk over our parement; and the ill-effect upon the public health is beyond all computation.Osly the other day reference was made by the Provincial Board of Health to the fact that the dreaded plague, tuberculosis, is on the increase in this Province only; and expectoration was pointed to as one of the most fruitful mediums of infection.There are cities in Canada wherein one can walk an entire block without secing any such cause of offence; and my pride in Quebec is such that I would give meh to see her qualified to stand beside these others in the matter of civic cleanliness.There is but one way to attain this\u2014by the adoption and enforcement of an anti-spit- ting bye-law.When the cities I have in mind adopted such a bye-law they posted warnings at the intersections of all the principal business streets, making especial mention of the maximum penalty for infringement.A vigorous campaign was at once instituted, and the minimum fine (without costs) was inflicted iu all cases of detected offence.The effect was most satisfactory; in à very few months an infinite ly higher standard of cleanliness prevailed.And there has been no difficulty in maintaining it.Is there any reason why this should not be done here?But if such a plan is adopted the bye-law must not be allowed to look after itself\u2014as apparently was the case with the recently passed vacination bye-law.The adoption of a law without its energetic enforcement is almost worse in its ef- feet than no legislation at all.This suggestion is offered in no spirit of unfriendly crivicism\u2014for my interests are in Quebec, and 1 bave only her bests interests at heart.But the fact that we have so many causes for pride in our eity should not blind us to the necessity for the removal of ÿ | One outstending cause for shame.i \u2018 QUEBECER.CANADIAN LADY GOLFER IN FINALS Philadelphia, Oct.19.\u2014Miss Dorothy Campbell of the Hamilton Golf Club, Ontario, defeated Mrs.Roland H.Barlow of Merion,\" the eastern

passage of 70 haurs to City Islan LEGISLATION ON MONETARY MATTER Basis for a Probable Submission to the Congress of the United States.- \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Washinglon, Oct.19\u2014Former Senator Nelson W.Aldrich.of Rhode Island, today submitted to the National Monetary Commission of which he is chairman, & revision of his plan for monetary legistation.The commission may use it as the basis of its recommendations to Congress.The basic principles of the revised plan are substantially the same as those embodied in Mr.Aldrich's first proposal sent to the commission last January, which he ssid he expected would serve as a basis for national discussion.Important phases which were then unsettled and those which have since been evolved are treated in the recommendations sent to the commission to-ddy.Most of the questions are re-handled with great detail as the result of discussions and conferences which have been going on since the plan was first suggested.Briefly, the plan still provides for the organization of the National Reserve Association, with capital of approximately $300,000,0000, in which the United States Government and the banks owning shared in the asso- \"ciation shall be the only depositors.: States at first | The plan of dividing the United into fifteen financial districts remains unchanged.In each district the banks shall form local associations of their own, which in turn will be represented in the branches and finally in the central organization through a system of election of directors, which, it is said, will make it impossible for any section or set of bankers to control the whole.To provide for the $730,000,000 of 2 percent Government bonds now owned by the National Banks and § used as the basis of note circulation, which are to be absorbed by the reserve association, the following plan is proposed : Upon the application of the reserve association the Secretary of the Treasury shall exchange the 2 per cent bonds with the association will buy from the banks at par and accrued interest, for a new issue of 3 per cpnt securities, payable 50 years after the date of issue.The reserve association will pay to the Government a special franchise tax of 1 1-2 per cent per year on fhe amount of such bonds.As the Government's actual interest charge on the 2 per cent is not actually 1 1-2 per cent, since the banks pay a half of one per cent as a tax when the bonds are used as the basis of note circulation, this will reimburse the Government for the extra interest it will be called upon to pay as a result of exch:nging the 2's Yor 3's.One effect of the exchange will be to enable the Government to provide permanently for a large portion of the interest bearing public debt at a net interest charge of 1 1-2 per cent.This arrangement proposes a solution of what many financiers declared the greatest obstacle to the plan.It disposes permanently of the bond- secured currency without loss to the Government and without imposing upon the reserve association the ownership of the $730,000000 two per cent bonds, OILS, ETC.London, Oct.19.\u2014Culcutta linseed, October-November, 70s.Sperm oil £34 10s.Petroleum, American refined, 5%d;

mission at Wu-Chang, who is now here, points out that as Han- Yang and the native city of Hankow which are opposite the rebel camps, are also in the hands of the revolutionists, the imperial gunboats will be precluded from taking up a position in the river between two fires and so will be forced to throw their shelis from the north.In this case the American Boone University and the American, Swedish, Wesleyan and London mission Hospitals and schools will ail be in a direct line of the firing.Dr.Somerville says that a French agitator who is prominent in the present outbreak, carried on a

accustomed to take\" the time to read well-written and well-displayed ads.in the daily news- sheet, with eyes wide open for suggestions, the newspaper is absolutely essential to any successful
