advices from the French Consul-Gen- | eral through Col.A.P, Sherwood.1 Chief Commissioner of Police of Canada, have heen working on the case for some time, and made the arrest this afternoon while the accused was claiming baggage at the Canadian Express office.The crime for which Darracq is wanted was committed in November last.With an accomplice he hroke into a house and removing a safe to the road broke it open and secured $2400 in gold.A Æandarme surprised the men and a revolver battle followed.One man was arrested, but Darracq escaped.He was traced to New York and thence to this city.Extradition papers are being made out.NATIONAL CAR DEMURRAGE RULES Washington, June 24\u2014The Interstate Commerce Commission announced to-day that it had tentatively approved the revised national car de- murrage rules recently adpoted by the American Railway Association.The action is important to shippers because, as the commission says, \u201cthe causes for the refunding of demur- rage charges by the carriers have been made in several particulars more liberal for the consignee.When the condition of tne weather during the prescribed free time is such as to make it impossible to employ men or tcams in loading or unloading, or when it is impossible to place freight in cars or move it from cars without injury to the freight, the free tine is extended until a total of 48 hours free from such weather interferences shall have been allowed.\u201d KOC H, LAUTEREN & GO.FRANKFORT Istabliehed 1719, .RHINE and MOSELLE WINES baw, Youn & Ge.A Mentrens- NONE MAN DYE, wag oT FIVE PERSONS SHOT IBy Armed Deputies Firing on a Mob of Strikers Who Were Unarmed, oo.Hastings-on-the-Hudson, N.Y.June 24\u2014Que man is probably dying and five other persons, including 8 woman, lic dangerously injured tonight at the Dobbs Ferry Hospital, victims of renewed hostilities this afternoon in the strike declared about ten days ago at the plant of the National Conduit and Cable Company.P.Stilleck has a bullet in his stomach.He was operated on and is not expected to recover.Michael Rocco was shot in the right leg and Tony Reo in the left arm.Mrs.Tony Crazchi was shot through the sbdomen.An unidentified man was operated on for a bullet wound in the left shoulder.Michael Zithizl, a boy, was shot in the left leg.The trouble took place after the company announced that it would take back those of the men who wished to resume work at the old wage scale.Alopt 600 of them accepted the offer and took their places this morning.I'kis afternoon on their return from lunch they were attacked by a mob.A wire fence was built as a stockade around the works shortly after the strike was first called.Behind this fence the men who resumed work took shelter when attacked today.Included in the guard at ths stockade are fifty armed deputies.Some among the defensive force opened fire on the mob, which was driven off.None of the mob members was armed and no one within the stockade was hurt.PILGRIM SOCIETY OF GREAT BRITAIN Celebrate Founding of Organization by Dinner\u2014Many Distingushed People Presenta \u2014\u2014 London, June 24\u2014The Pilgrim Society of Great Britain at a dinner tonight celebrated the tenth anniver- cary of the founding of the organization.Among the guests of the pilgrims were many of the most\u2019 distinguished men of the British Empire and the occasion was given an international favor by the presence of a number of American Pilgrims.It was announced at the dinner that a large British delegation would attend the tenth anniversary of the Pilgrim Society of America, which will be held in New York next spring.Earl Roberts, president of the society, occupied the chair and the toasts proposed emphasized the society's policy to encourage Anglo- American friendship and hospitality.The speakers were the Postmaster- General, the Rt.Hon.H.L.Samuel; the Canadian Minister of Commerce and Trade, George E.Foster; the Rev.Dr.W, T.Manning of New York, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Lord Robert.Ambassador Whitelaw Reid and his secretaries sent their regrets, as they were in attendance at court, which had Leen postponed from an earlier date on account of the mourning period for the late King Frederitk of Denmark, Among the Rritish guests were Sir Frnest Shackleton.Winston Churchill First Lord of the Admiralty: Lord Mersey, who presided at the Titanic inquiry;

The speaker concluded by declaring | the Congress onen in the name of three million French.Canadians in Canada and the United States.After this, Senator Landry presented the homage of the delegates to Sir Francois Langelier, who was ren- | resenting the Governor General, IT.! R.H.the Duke of Connaught.When.Sir Francois had replied Mgr.Begin presented the homage of those nresent to the papal delegate, Mgr.Stagnl.The latter made an eloquet oration in which he emphasized the importance of the part plaved by the French language in the teaching and prosecn- tion of the ideals and traditions of the Catholic Church.Especially had this been remarkable in the case nf mie.sionary work.Tt was the Catholic priests of old Quebec who had lit the torch o their faith on the continent of America and kept it alight through centuries till {ts rays soread far and wide.Their heroism, their dauntless courage and their devotion in the early days was almost without a parallel, tut the seed which they had sown had not fallen on stony ground.Tt had multiplied and flourished.Maer.Stagni paid a great tribute to the fore runners of the Catholic faith in Canada and their sacrifices and dewlt on the many ties still evisting between the French.Canadians and their Mere Patrie.He received an en- thuelastic ovation from the audience.The next speaker was Mr, CB, Bonnin, representing the Prench Consulate.who also made a speech of considerable merit.At the conclusion Mar.Rov shonk hands with him and expressed his keen appréciation of his remarks In honor of the French-Can- gates to the province and expressed his approval of the Congress and its objects.He spoke highly of the services rendered by the French clergy to the people of Quebec, and said that the latter had no better friends.Although the French-Canadians of Quebec had, many of them learnt English, yet they had in no case forgotten their own tongue.Last, but by no means least of the orators of the evening was Mgr.Langevin, who hit out from the shoulder.The French-Canadians, he said, were loyal and devoted to the British Crown, and they respected the British flag for the privileges which it guaranteed them.But, where it was a question of their language, they wanted equal rights and they were entitled to them.They did not ask for favors but for justice.Recalling the fact that the French language had for some time been the official language in England, Grace said that they relied on getting British fair play so far as it was a matter of instruction in their tongue.There might be some hostile to them in Ontario and Manitoba, but as French-Canadians they should ali unite to make common cause of defending their rights, Some of them, said His Grace, might be surprised to hear such belligerent words from a bishop.For his part he had no hesitation in saying that he was a member of the church militant and not pacem, para bellum.The aims and causes of the French- Speaking Congress now being held in Quebec is clearly and distinctly set forth in the appeal issued to the public by the organizers.dn brief, they hofd that the: constant contaeg with the English, which is becoming more frequent and more intimate each day, is gaining strength as a menace to the French language.Who, they ask, is so blind as not to see that, whether it be in commerce, in the professions or in industry, the English language too often and too easily is gaining on the French, and that, if a reaction that will be more general, more energetic and better organized does not take place soon, the French tongue will run the risk.not only of being deformed as to syntax, but also of losing its essential characteristics.What the ultimate issue might be may be gathered from the following words of the organizers of the con- press: \"The traditions of our race shew that it is due in large measure to the use and culture of the French language that we have maintained our faith, our customs, our character.This language must be in the future, nationality anl the custodian of our traditions,\u201d In the course of the appeal the or ganizers say: \u201cFrench Canadians of Quebec.of Ontario.of Manitoba, of the West and the United States, Acadians of the East, of Louisiana, it is our duty to make common cause in leaving nothing undone.to conserve the French language among us in its integrity and to vindicate those its rights which are recognized or should be so.\u201d We are the representatives of France in Americanew allegiances we may ensure the survival of our race's genius in the Now, the use and development of our mother tongue are necessary for the accomplishment of our destiny, since that tongue is the guardian of our faith, the keeper of our traditional conscience.The French nation cannot subsist without its language, without it it cannot serve its mentality, its imagination, its gaiety, its spirit, and the day that the language jerishes or another is substituted for it, so also will disappear the essential virtues of tire race and the forms of its intelligence.\u201d \u201cTE it is trve that Canada is becoms ing a nation, ts ft not useful to know what part the French language has taken, will take br ought to take in the expression of the popuar

ane side, has the affection for our tongue been so marked; never, on the other, have there heen such deteamined efforts to enslave it.\u201cToday that language Is attacked openly, and in certain places there are those who would seek in the school adiana, Sir Lomer Gouin welcomed the dele.to dry up the very sources of French.Shall we allow those of our race who | His | the church quiescent.Si

been pronounced as ac- ecptable for the temporary chairmanship by the Brayn faction.The action of the national come mittee is expected to result in g hitter factional fight on the floor of the convention.and a struggle for supremacy between the Bryan Demons\u2019 crats and so-called Conservatives that may affect the Presidential nominas, tion.\u2019 The debate over the temporary

appointment by the Dominion government of a departmental come mission on statistics is important.Few countries there are with such possibilities and enormous natural resources as Canada.It meeds statistical references so much and lacks them to an astonishing degree.Heretofore, under Kovernments of both political colors, the statistical work of the Dominion has been clumsy, somewhat naccurate and quite insuf- ; ficient.A search for special figures has almost invariably resulted not in the obtension of what was required, but of what meagre inforina- tion chanced to be available.Every modern nation has a government statistical burean, which keeps tab of periodical and special returns of all descriptions, Canada limps along without any such comprehensive system.\u2018The customs department, whose duties should be contined to what its name implies, is responsible for a certain measure of statistics The Trade and Commerce Department hears another part ef the statistical burden.The Department of Agrieulture, which should bave its ing districts, is required to furnish other fignres.Tn addition, there is la census office, which bis on aver.| dose of work every ten years, enough to put it out of business.The Dominio nauthorities often duplicate the rest its of the provinces.Some provinces are fairly well equipped, others lack the machinery for Riving the public the slightest statistical information The importance of reliable statistics sunnot de overestimated.At Ottawa there should be a fountuin of i such information, which should flow at request.The manufacturer needs statistics; co does the farmer, the bond houses, the Insurance company.tlhe hanker, the grain grower, the ship nwner.the miner.When seeking to quench statistical thiret at Ot-

how imported iltit- eracy is to be dealt with.The scope | for Miteracy in adults, or those over fourteen years of age, averages hut little over two per cent.among those coming to the country from northern \u2018and western Europe.The Teutonic and Celtic races are pretty well schooled these days.The Immigrants from the Britidh Teles represent not one per cent.of th: illiterates.The hosts that pour in is in constantly increasing number from nothern and eastern Enrope.however, make an impressive exhihit of hackwardnesa in popular education: among the Luthuanians more taan half are totally illiterate; and the average for this grouping of nations is almost thirty two per cent.Thirty-two per cent.of immigrants illiterate!

\u2018better thing to Sam at would be to regulate the importation.That is a delicate matter, fag sestiiction on\u2019 immigration le ai a red rag to the proverbial bull to thy persons or nations so

time; to send as much as possible out of the country or take it at the earliest possible moment.It is a psychological fact, and to regulate the importation of illiteracy seems as though it would he to ref- ulate the importation of crime and the exportation of currency, which shoul go into the channels of circulation in Canada.It is an evil at has to be assimilated in Canada, however, as it has heen

event took place on Sunday last when Captain and Mrs.Carter celebrated the 50th anniversary of their wedding day.all their surviving children and grandchildren heing present, Vd Captain Carter first came to Quebec with his regiment (the old 16th) about 1854.Iie was the second son of Admiral Carter, who was with Nelson in Egypt, and at Trafalgar.Of Admiral Carter's nine sons, five were in the army, two in the navy and one in the India office, so that all of them served the State in one capacity or another, certainly a very remarkable record.Capt.Carter married, in 1862, Louisa, youngest daughter of the late Henry Lemesurier, Fsq., who fought in the Peninsula, losing his arm at Sala manaca, distinetion in navy and army being thus happily eombined, Captain Carter retired from the army in 1866.and has spent most of the 44 years which have intervened in the service of the Canadian Customs, in Quebec, respected and esteemed, indeed, loved, dy all with whom he had to do.As regards those who have served with and under him, their feeling have taken tangible shape in the form of à beautiful gold bowl, which they presented to him on the anniver- saty, That there has been no couple in Quebec in the last Fifty years who have more fully won the respect and regard of the community than Captand Mra, Carter, the beautiful presents and magnificent flowers they have received in connection with the celchra- tion of thelr golden wedding would alone show.It is alto remarkable that they were married in the same church (the Cathedral) that they attend to-day, Their many friends all wish Captain and Mrs.Carter many more years of health and happiness, à wish in which the Chronicle begs feave to join, | \u201c THREE PHSOHERS Ÿ STILL AT LARGE One of Them Has a Record in Montreal\u2014Two Jail Guards Suspended.\"7 Judging from what happened at the Quebec jail, on Sunday last, the prisoners in that institution require to be looked after in fuutre How three risoners could escape on a Sunday rom the Quebec jail is a mystery, and how they were allowed to be at lb- erty for almost a whole day without the proper authorities being notified, Is another question which will probably be ferretied out later on, However, it is now a well-knwn fact that three prisoners\u2014two of whom are well-known criminals-\u2014escaped over the walls of the jail on Sunday afternoon last, and so far hate not been recaptured.One of them is Normand, arrested last week on \u2018the charge of loitering, drunkenrieys and disposing of cocaine; another is a man named Deajardins, arrested In Montreal, charged with a robbery of furs at Simard & Charmichael\u2019s, and who was undergoing a year's sentence, and the third is a Swede named Hagen, who fs known in local police circles as a tramp, and who has probably not left the city.It appears that they were in the jail yard Sunday afternoon and by some means secured six inch nails, which they stuck in the wall and thereby succeeded In getting over the wall on the side of the Plains.They must have taken to the bushes immediately and succeeded in reaching Cap Rouge, where they stole a horse and cart.The jail authorities knew of their disappearance a few hours after, but instead of notifying Sheriff Blouin and the provincial police, sent out to search the bushes around the Plains.In fact, the city detectives and provincial police were only notified of the escape early yesterday morning, while Sherif Blouin received the news a few hours later.The latest news received of the prisoners was that they had driven through the parish of Portneuf at 2 o'clock yesterday morning.Yesterday afternnon detectives and police guards were sent to Portneuf, Batiscan and Three Rivers to try to intercept Normand and Desjardins, who are attired in prison garb, which consists of a blue and white striped shirt, coffee colored pants and cap.Normand, the cocaine fiend, is stated to be à mun'named Marquis, who was sent down in Montreal fast year to five: years in the penitentiary for stealing furs, but who escaped from the court house.Two jail guards have been suspended in connection with the case.TWO

New York, June 24\u2014The narrow and cautious movement of to-day's stock market mirrored the obscure conditions prevailing here and abroad.These were mainly of a political and industrial character and were sufficient in themselves to excite temporary depression.There was also some uncertainty respecting the progress of the crops, but fundamental conditions in various lines of industry continue satisfactory, with increasing indications of price advances in iron and steel.Copper suffered something of a setback by reason of a sharp stump in the metal abroad.The one feature of actual financial significance was an engagement of $2,000,000 gold bars, ostensibly for export to Paris, hut there is a well defined helicf that the metal will ultimately find its way to Berlin.Trading at the latter centre was quiet, with no external signe of extreme tension.Prices were heavy in Paris and Lonflan, which sold about 10,000 shares of our stocks here, chiefly Steel and Amalgamated Copper, From a dull and weak opening prices here gradually hardencd.and In the tate afternoon a very considerable part of the early decline had teen effaced when heaviness again set in.There was another characteristic movement in some of the high-priced specialties, notably the tobacco group, which gained 1 to $ points.but as usual, the activity in these issues was without effect elsewhere Bonds were irregular, with further Tntal sales, par value, amounted tn $1,605,000, United States Government bonds were unchanged on call.COTTON MARKETS.New York, June 24.-=Cotton futures closed very steady.Closing bids: June.11,10 Mec.11.58 July.AS Jan.11.83 Aug.11,24 Feb, LIS Sept.A1,30 Mar L 11,68 Oct.0143 May.11.72 Nov.1182 Spat closed quiet, 10 points lower.Middling uplands 11.88¢c; do gulf 11.80c.Sales 100 hate Liverpool, Jun 24 \u2014Cotton spot, In fair demand.Prices 3 points lower.American middling, fair, 724d: good middling 66d: middling 660d: low middling 630d: good ordinary $40d.The sales of the day were 8000 bales, of which 500 were for speculation and export, and included 7400 American.Receipts were 10,000 bales including 7200 American, Futures april2Sxiy \\ opened steady and closed steady.He C.W.WALCOT, STOCK and BOND BROKER Member Quebec Stock Exchange.Government.Municipal and Railway Debentures Bought and Sold.Tel.377.98 St.Pater Street QUEBEC.\u2014\u2014 \u2026 Buying the most income safely is the problem of every Investor.I carry at all times a variety of Investment Securities which have been carefully selected and approved by ex- petts, and each of which has qualifications making it adaptable to the needs of some particular Investor, Write or Phone to C.W.WALCOT.\u2014\u2014 Bell Phone 3033.P.O.Box 367.BOSSE&BANKS Steel Beams, Columns, Plates, Gas and Water Pipes, Contractors\u2019, Municipal and Builders\u2019 Supplies, Machinery and Other Specialties.BOARD OF TRADE: BUILDINR, 39 St.Paul St, Quebec.MONTREAL STOCK EXCHANGE Quotations furnished by Messrs, Neuville Belleau & Co., 93 St, Peter street, Quebec.Buvers.Sellers, Can Pac Ry.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.263% 264 Minn & St Paul .-.144 144% Span River.61% 62 Toronto Street .14416 1444 Twin City .\u2014 1 Detroit United .66% 66% Canners , |.66 67 Car Fdy .89% 90 Quebee Ry honds .71% 71% Mont Cotton .5344 56 Sherwin .ro NY% \u2014 Mexican , .102%\" 103 Ottawa .\\5514 156 Sao Paulo .24R% 249 Rich & Ont.11584 116 Mont Power .213 2134 Dom Steel .\u2026 .64% 65 Dom Iron pfd .103% 104 Canade Cement .264 2 Do pf4.89 90 Rio de Janeiro .15814 155% Steel Co of Can .30 Aa Nova Scotia .94 96 Bell Tele .15§ \u2014 Ogilvie Milling .128 129 Can Cotton .25 \u2014 Converters .46 45% Lake of Woods .134 135 Rubber .86 \u2014 Tooke .184 184% Laurentide Pulp.42 \u2014 Can Cotton pfd .72 73 Dom Textile .6644.67 Do pfd .100 \u201c3m Car Fdy pfd .\u2014 +514 Mont Cotton pfd
