No.10 express ran into a washout below Sackville at 4 o'clock this morning.The passengers received a severe joiting, but the train did not leave the rails.Later on two washouts occurred hetpveer Sackville and Dorchester.The trains are all somewhat delayed.e T SIX MILLIONS FOR MONTREAL HARBOR Harbor Commission Promises That Big Improvements Will Be Finished Within 3 Years.PLANS INCLUDE BRIDGE WITH RAILWAY TRACKS Lines to.Connect with Harbor Commissioners\u2019 Waterfront and Terminal Systems.Mantreal, Aug.13\u2014Direct rall and highway communication by a new bridge to the South Shore, the establishment of extensive railway terminal facilities on McKay pier, the creation of an anchorage ground for vessels between the Old Guard pier and the Alexandra pier, and the construction of five new piers for ocean liners between Victoria and Laurier piers and better ferry connections, form part of an immense campaign of improvements which the Montreal Harbor Commission proposes to carry out within the next three years, at an approximate cost of $6,000,000.The biggest item of the programme embraces the construction of a bridge from the end of a new pier to be buile parallel to the Alexandra and at the foot of McGill street across the western extremity of St.Helen's 1sland, and thence direct to the South Shore to the point where once stood the old st.Lambert ferry wharf.The bridge, which will carry double railway tracks, a roa:way for vehicles and a footpath, will have a swing section so that the passage of steam- crs may not be impeded.Concrete and Steel Embankment.Between St.Helen's Island and St.Lambert, however, a concrete and stecl emnankment will be constructed with sluices, while on the end of $t Helen's Island provision will he made for switching and other operations.The lines crossing the bridge will connect with the Harbor Commissioners\u2019 present system on the waterfront, while these in turn will be ex- Commissioners\u2019 terminals, which, as previously stated, are to be established on the MacKay pier, where four lagre sheds will also be built, besides the proposed terminal basin of the Georgian Bay Canal, All that land west of the Mackay and Bickerdike piers as far as the Grand Trunk tracks will be reclaimed so that it may be used for manufacturing and industrial plants.Further improvements planned for that section of the port include the erection of one or two new grain clevators, the construction of a graving dock, and possibly the reconstruction of a new entrance to the Lachine Canal by the cutting of a new lock across Windmill Point.GOVERNOR-GENERAL REMEMBERS NURSES Attendants of the Duchess of Connaught During Her Ili ness Receive Mementoes.Montreal, Aug.13\u2014In recognition of their services

TELL THE TALE FOR PORT OF QUEBEC President Chamberlain of Grand Hrunk Pacific Will Hold Vital Conference With Major Leonaf, President of the Transcontinental Railway Commission Upon Former\u2019s Retus from the West-Quays Bone of Contention.re ALL DEPENDS ON THE GRAND TRUNK RAILWAY'S * ATTITUDE M Three weeks hence, or as soon as Mr.Chamberlain, president of the Grand Trunk Pacific system, returns ent governments, together with Maj.R.W.Leonard, president of the Transcontinental Railway Commission « decision will be arrived at concerning the Quebec railway terminals and the equipment of the port of Quebec with the quays and grain elevators.that will place the port in a posit.on to handle the grain trade of the Canadian Northwest.Though neither the past nor present governments, together with Ma.j Leonard, have felt it wise or prudent to take the people of Quebec into their confidence in regard to ali the difficulties they have had to contend with respecting the builling of the Quebec railway terminals and the equipment of the port with quays and grain elevators, the Chronicle is in possession of enough information to point out where the actual blame lies.Borden Government Active.The Borden admisistration, ever since it assumed the responsibility ot office, has lost no time in studying the question of equipping the port of Quebec.It is true that some changes in the plans were considered and are still under advisement, but nevertheless the government has all along been earnest in its desire to have the work proceeded with in all possible despatch.In the mean time it must be admitted that there has been some cause for delay, but the cause is not in the least the fault of the present Dominion Government.Grand Trunk Obstructs.The Chronicle, in a heretofore published series of articles, has clearly and conclusively shown that the Grand Trunk Pacific management, in its determination to divert the grain trade of the Canadian West via Cochrane, Ont.to American ports, takes no interest in the equipment of the port of Quebec, for the reason that the railway company does not, if it can possibly help it, intend to ship one bushel of grain to Europe via the port of Quebec.The very fact of the presence of clause 42 in the agreement entered into with the Laurier administration and the Grand Trunk Pacific management, is manifestly evidence that the Grand Trunk management means to sacrifice the interests of Quehec and the Maritime Provinces in their firmly fixed determination to carry the products of the West to the New England ports of Boston, Portland.Providence, R.1, and New London, Ct.Chronicle Exposed Plot.When the Chronicle pointed out j these facts and fortilied them with abundarce of evidence, the local opposition press was so chagrined at the exposure that they fairly foamed in their wrath, and instead of argument heaped abuse upon the government organ for the audacity of its independence.These same organs were conspicuous for their silence when their Libera! friends were in office, in contrast with the spirit of independence that alone actuates the Chronicle in the performance of its duty in the interests of the city, port and people of Quebec.For fifteen years the late Laurier administration held sway at Ottawa, and looked upon the welfare of almost every section of Canada with the exception of Quebec, the city that saved Sir Wilfrid Laurier from practical abolition when he was defeated at his own home.Arthabaska, in 1877 His election to represent Quebec East in the House of Commons led to his leadership of the Liberal party.and in 1896 he became Premier of Canada.But the moment that dignity was conferred upon him, he forgot the city that made it possible for him to reach his high pedestal.In grate tude he caused to have built a post office in his constituency, and appointed one of his constituents to the chairmanship of the Harbor Commission, whose sole qualification was his want of knowledge of commerce.| But he suited the master and carried out his instructions to spend no money on any work that would up- build the harbor.The Opposition press was silent all these years.Roger LaRue's Letter.The late Roger LaRue no doubt had in mind the servility of the former Government and the Opposition press when he wrote his famous letter that appeared in La Vigie Jan.28th, 1908 Mr.LaRue was a member of the firm of Thibaudeau & Freres, of this (Continued on Eighth Page.) ANKIETY 1S FELT FOR THE CORSICAN Allan Liner That Struck Ice.| berg Has Not Proceeded\u2014 Lake Champlain Stands By.Montreal, Aug.13\u2014The last report issued by the Signal Service at 1 p.m.states that the Allan Liner Corsican, which was injured in a collision with an iceberg yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock is still in the same position, 120 miles east of Belle Isle and has not proceeded at all since the accident.The Lake Champlain has not continued her journey and is still stading by the injured vessel.The fog is less dense than it has been in the vicinfty of the vessels.6 further word from Captain Cook has been announced from the Allan Line offices since his message which said that the vessel was only slightly injured above the water line and was making no water and that she would proceed to Liverpool as soon as the fog lifted.The continued presence of the Lake Champlain beside the injured ship and the fact that the vessel is not proceeding at all has given rise to some anxiety among shipping experts here.POLICE INVESTIGATION AT TORONTO MUST WAIT Toronto.Aug.13.\u2014It can now be stated that the Police Commission's investigation of the connection of the Detective Department

are some narrow-minded people in the Province of Ontario, as there are in the Province of Quebec; and the \u201cwise and prudent\u201d of Ontario should not allow themselves to be prejudiced against Quebec, simply because there is a medieval look about the way in which church and state intertwine in the management of public affairs in the latter province.The \u201cOrangiste\u201d no more understands \u201cJean Baptiste\u201d than the latter understands the former.Between the two, there is too much of a gritting of teeth, as of dogs who would fight with cach other, were the commonsense of nationhood not near to keep them apart.Is it mossible to bring these two elements in our population a little closer in sympathy with the welfare of the whole country?The Chronicle has been trying of late to convince Mr.Henri Bourassa of the error \u2018of his ways; and surely it Is now the duty of some of our Ontario contemporaries to try their band at the conversion of the \u201cOrangiste.\u201d It is not a question of religion between the two, as witness the rumpus in St.John, New Brunswick, just now over the appointment pf a bishop for that diocese.And it is not à question of race altogether, as is to be seen in the peaceable conditions that prevail in the communities of Quebec where English-speaking and French-speaking citizens live in amity with one another, and worship in their respec- | tive church without being molested.What is it, then, which makes the \u201cOrangiste\u201d and \u201cJean Baptiste\u201d have such bitter distrust of one another.Is it not possible that the party politician has \u201ccissed\u201d them each against the other?Has differing ecclesiasti- cisms not taken part in keeping the misunderstanding alive?What is an Orangeman?Where did he come from?What have we to do with the \u201cSiege of Londonderry\u201d or the \u2018\u2019Battle of the Boyne,\u201d except as an inter- escting item of Irish History?What has the French-Canadian to do with the celebrating of the Twelfth of July, or what can the Orangeman have to say sgainst the celebration of \u201cJean Baptiste Day\"?The fact is, the an- tipathies- of these Canadians are ail for the most part moonshine that has been spun into bugaboos; fnd what a bombazine of a bugaboo such antipathies embody.Enough to make even a child laugh out loud at the grotesqueness of the thing.THE PANAMA AFFAIR.There is going to be no pause in the public discussion over the present attitude of the United States Senate and its House of Representatives, until the people of that republic have had a chance to say for themselves what they think of the breach of national! honour some of their public men would encourage.What the stages are that the question has to pass through before a final decision is reached, are before us all.These stages ought not to be allowed, however, to intensify the main question; which is simply the protection of a nation\u2019s good name, while the terms of a solemn bargain are in the way of being carried out or broken.As we have said, the Hay-Psuncefote Treaty cannot be of no avail until it is abrogated by the consent of the nations involved.Every business man can tell us what his opinion is of the other business man who breaks his promise in a business transaction, And it is no other with the word of a nation.It has to be kept until honorable reasons have been advanced as to why it should not be kept.No such honorable reasons have been so far advanced why the United States as a nation should not keep its word in this matter of the Panama Canal, and that is where the question stands.We have before us a copy of the first issue of the Quebec Gazette in 1764, the quaint looking little forerunner of the Quebee Chronicle.Among the articles, which are mere paragraphs of outside events, following a self-conscious prospectus of s page printed in French and English, we find the following paragraph: It is said that & scheme of taxation of our American Colonies has for some time been in agitation, and that it has been previously debated in parliament, whether they had the power to lay a tax on colonies which had no representative in parliament and determined in the affirmative.\u201d (And the paragraph proceeds to give details of the taxes to be imposed.) \u201cResides this, an internal tax was proposed, a stamp duty, etc; hut, many members warmly opposing it, this was deferred until next session.\u201d And is the Panams Canal not « par- alle! to the Stamp Act Bill of olden times.The paging of the Stamp Act was the breach of a fundamantal principle of self-government, and the in- | clination to make the Paname Canal Bill, the law of the United States is 8 breach of mational honour.We ail know now that the War of Independence was occasioned by a mistake of judgment, wish other causes latent of course; and surely there is not going to be another mistake of judgment on the part of the nation that defied its motherland wo thy point of arms.for abiding by that mistake of judgment.Britain finally turned a deaf car to the patriots of the minority who de- vounced the Stamp Act as a breach of constitutional law; and what the world is now waiting to see is: Are the patriots of the minority in the United States Senate and louse of Representatives to be turned down in their pleading that the honour of a whole nation should be protected whatever may happen to the misguided Panama Bill.There is no scent of war in the air over this isfortunate affair, a8 there was when the Stamp Act Was first mooted; but surely the upholding of the good feeling between the Empire and Republic is worth taking into consideration, rr \u2014\u2014\u2014 EE ANTAGONÏSMS AND ANTAGONISMS.The problem; of antagnoisms has giver the philosopher as well as the scientist a good deal to think about from time to time.Everybody seems to be of the gpinion that nature itself is only a .ncutrslizstion of one antagonism by another antagonism, as it maintaing {ts appesrance of a unity.The frictions between labour and capital, some say, are bound to be smoothed out, if the patience of the worid can only hold out long enough.Even the cosmopolitan religionist is at present cultivating the notion that the antagonisms of creeds and denom- inationalisms are in the way of disappearing.The question of church union is certainly receiving a good deal of attention of late in Canada; more perhaps than in any other part of the world.There are one or two ministers of our pulpits\u2014dyed-in-the- wool sectarians\u2014who still claim that we are centuries away from a united Christianity, and mare than a generation or two from à union even among the Methodists, Presbyterians and Congregationalists.And, in support of this conservatism run wild, one clergyman not long agn maintained there were between thirteen or fourteen branches of Methodists in the United States that were as far apart as ever they were; and that even in Scotland the Presbyterians cannot as yet agree upon a common theology, not to speak of the theological differences among other sects.Another of these uitrascompervative parsons assured his hearers that it was mad- ernism that had gone mad over the notion that Christ was an example or model of human conduct rather than a Saviour, as if out of these two antagonistic views there has not heen developed more and more the natural Christéanism in every normal human heart.The day seems to have gone by for congregations to keep an anxious record of pulpit antagonisms.The devil and his doings had once more attention given to them from the pulpit than they have to-day from the press, Good and evil were then shown up as the bitterest of antagonists.The pulpits in those days gave no quarter to the agencies of evil.The churches would have no dealings with the mammon of unrighteousness.And one cannot keep from regretting that virtue has now so little said about it, save by way of raillery, in our public places; while the records of vice are being announced in the newspapers under every form of the printer's art.Can it be that in these present times the old antagonisms of good and evil are coalescing in anion of the two, under the phase of evil, to be known and spoken of as a best for us all, Are the antagonism of the sect to cos- lese in the same way, with this feature or that featute of the old denom- inationslism becoming too prominent in the union to follow.Is modernism to get the better of the jog-trot of medievalism or is there to be a blend of the two in the new order of things.Who can tell?That there is coming a new order of things\u2014a new order in which a purified Christism is bound to prevail, seems to be in the air; an dthat is all that one can say about it, while the sects keep looking at one another with sympathy in their eyes, perhaps, but with anything but a unifying Christism in their hearts towards one another.\u2014 The other day a Detroit man told us how we might improve Quebec as Detroit has heen improved; and it made more than one Quebecer laugh to read a paragraph adjoining the one giving the Detroit man's good counsel, to the effect that thirty per cent, of Detroit's aldermen were under arrest for accepting bribes, and with suspicions thrown upon an indefinite number of others.We would rather not have Quebec take up with the ways of Detroit, Kven the Detroit Pree Press would racer we should Lot.\u201cDegpoit enters the ranks,\u201d says Soy - - ! that honestly open-minded organ, \u201cthe ranke of American cities that hang their heads with shame before the world.A review of the names now spread on the roll of dishonor reveals one significant fact.They are all naines of men who have paraded themselves as \u2018friends of the people\u201d They are names that have been most flagrantly associated with demagogic appeals to the poor against the wealthy, to the workingmen agsinst the employers, to the \u2018masses\u2019 against the \u2018classes.\u2019 \u201d The \u201crecall\u201d is not a fair deal, as the gamester in parfy politics himself would say.By it, a fire-engine is placed in the hands of irresponsible {and ill directed firemen to destroy property by water while it is as yet in no danger of being wrecked by, fire.The spirit of freedom of action on the part of our public men aiming to do the right thing by the people, is against the hoodiumizing of any section of the community to help in the betrayal of any public servant.The attempt to oust the Mayor of Oakland is an illustration of what the \u201crecall\u201d means to a community.A city too often gets an ill name from outsiders, on account of the unbalanced mention that is made of the devil and his doings, to the ignoring of all that aggrandizes the Christian morality.And the newspapers are perhaps no more to blame for what they are doing in \u201cboosting\u201d the immoralities of the day, than were our clergymen of the olden times in giving pulpit prominence to Satan and his brimstone-scented attributes.The people of those times demanded such pulpit polemic, dealing, as it.did, with \u201cthe devil and his angels,\u201d just demand a daily record of what is going on in the shady walks of diabol- ism in our cities.At least so think the \u201cyellow journal\u201d men.: BIG MUSICAL PRODUCTION COMING.What promises to be one of the most important bookings of the coming season at the Auditorium, is that of the coming to Quebec of John C.Fishet's musical organization of 65 people in \u201cThe Red Ronse\u201d with the talented prima donna Zoe Barnett at the head.This gorgeous musical success comes here after long runs in Chicago, New York, Philadelphia and only last week taxed the capacity of the Academy of Music in Halifax at every performance.The papers in that city with one accord stated the performance excelled anythihg ever before seen in the city of Halifax.There are twenty-four musical numbers, and the music is said to be both tuneful and pretty.The cast contains many names well known in the comic opera world, including Maurice Darcy, Charlotte Philbrick, Walter H.Cutlett, Bly Brown, Nelson Riley, Laura Jaffray, Wm.H.Confey.Gladys Parvin, Russell Lennon, Wayne Nunn, Fritzi Smith, and large chorus of young women, including the original English Pony Ballet from the Drury Lane Theatre, London.The engagement opens Thursday evening, August 22nd, and concludes with the performance Saturday evening.Seats for the engagement go on sale at the Auditorium box office on Thursday morning.A number of reservations have aiready been made.EPIDEMIC OF ACCIDENTS TO LEE-ENFIELD RIFLES.Arms and Explosives, a technical paper published in England under the date of August Ist, 1912, refers to the many accidents occurring to Lee-En- field rifles as follows : \u201cWhat amounts almost to an epidemic of bursts with service rifles has occurred during the past month.A Glasgow Territorial was killed during firing practice by the bolt of his rifle blowing back.At Bisley the front of a boit was blown away, and at Pirbright the pointed bullet of a Mark VIT, cartridge apears to have struck the cap of an unfired cartridge in the chamber.The first two incidents are probably associated with the using up of defective ammunition prior to the issue of the new kind.Loose bullets are the chief and promoting cause of the trouble.\u201d LAKE ST.JOSEPH REGATTA, 17th August, 1913, Por the above return tickets

Clerks in Treasury Office Overcome When Coni Bag is Opened.Phialediphia, Aug.13.\u2014-Copper dust rising from a newly opened bag of pennies almost choked a number of employees of the United States Sub-Treasury in this city and resulted in a renewal of the demands upon the Treasury Department to change the alloy in the manufacture of cents.Hereafter, also, all large quantities of pennies arriving at the Sub-Treasury will be weighed instead of counted.A bag of pennies collected from slot machines along the board walk at Atlantic City was sent here, Several employees gathered around the bag ready to count them as they were poured out.As soon as the bag was opened a dense cloud of dust came forth.The men choked and coughed as the poisonous powder entered their moutlis and nostrils and was sucked into their lungs.They were forced to run for the open air, and several of them felt quite ill from their experience.It was not until the dust had settled that they closed up the bag again and judged the amount by weighing.\u2018 The copper dust which gathers wherever large quantities of cents are placed together is the result of oxidization, due to the fact that the pennies are nearly all ccpper.According to the government standard, there is 95 per cent.copper in all pennies and only 5 per cent.of zinc and tin.Owing to the fact that tin and zinc are more volatile than copper, these twn substances soon disappear from the surface of the cent, leaving pure copper, which soon turns green and develops.Electric Restorer for Men restores every nerve in the bod Phosphouol to its proper

and the two, surrounded by empty pews, went through the full Anglican service, with many angels, as the rector said, as their companions.On his arrival at Holton Parish Church at 105.5, writes the eorres- pondent, I found the woden gate fastened by a loop of string.Having unfastened it, I walked through the uncut grass into the church, where the rector, Rev.Joseph Sorrell, was already engoged in reading the Psalms toe mpty pews.The rector, although over 80 years of age, conducted the service in a vigorous and devoted manner, There was only one hymn which was read and not sung.In ap able sermon, dealing with the subject of the Ascension, the rector said that unfortunately for England there was a decay in religious worship.& SON Everything in the shape of Lumber and Timber PINE, SPRUCE, PITCH PINE, OAK, Ete.MAPLE BEACH and BIRCH FLOORING ORDERS SOLICITED BANK HOCHELAGA BUILDING Peter Street der and fringe, pretty Damask Pat- broken checks, very re .49¢c Clearing at, per yd .u0.04% 1-2¢ Hand Towen, Clearing at 25¢ Hand Towels Clearing at 35c Have you seen Perry\u2019s Fuse niture?.Don't miss it.Now is the time to save money.No matter \u2018which part of the city you live, we advise you to ses our goods and prices before buying elsewhere.You will save money.We do not want to put in any prices, but seeing is believing.Remember the place.S PERRY, Phone 519 PT A 323 St Paul St NEW GOODS Ladies\u2019 White Nubuck Pumpe Ladies\u2019 White Nubuck Buttoa Ladies\u2019 White Canvas Boota Lace Shoes and Pumps.Misses\u2019 and Children's Pumps in White Buck, White Canvas.Patent Leather, Gun Metal and Tan Leathers.Men's Tan Oxford in all styles A full assortment of up-to-date \u2018hoes, Custom Shoemaker's Repairing.WM.JACQUES & SONS, Tel.427, 424 Fabrique Street - QUEBEC mon.wed.fri.95 St.Joseph Street From ev:ry part of this city a Phone 2042 for care with Pittsburg Coal preferred, which advancad 20 nearly par on re- EMILE JAC JEWELER Fine Railway Standard Watshs, Clocks, Jew:lry, Optics, Silva:ware.EMILE JACOT, Jeweler oT QUEBEC ad 2o11tey sueer galing sie) Standard Tims, IMPORTANT Henceforth, until further notice, our store will close at 7 - o'clock every evening, except Saturday.We hope our customers will take note of this, 50 that wy may serve them all the earlier.Quality and Variety at Prices to suit a\" GENERAL PROVISIONS M.BOYCE & SON, \u201cReliable Grocers Since 1856,\u201d 19-21 Cote d'Abrahair * Tel 254 WiLL NOT SETTLE IN MONNOIR CASE Church Says College Must Move; Civil Court Insists That It Must Not.Montreal, Aug.13\u2014Interesting de- velogunents are expected in the Mon noir College case through the an- neuncement today by Harry J.Elliott, counsel for Edwards, the claimant ageinst the priests, that his client would not, as has been announced, accept $36000 in settlement.Edwards\u2019 claim against the college for $100,000 served to complicate the situation, as a civil court ruling was ghven to the effect that the priests of the Monnoir College must not remove the institution from St.Johns until their claim had been finally threshed out, the college property in St.John's serving as security for the claire.le was this order that caused the priests to refuse to obey the orders of their superiors, Archbishop Pruchesi and Bishop Bernard, to leave St.Johns; and it was the refusal of the suthorities of the Catholic Church to recognize this order and commanded that the priests should remove their institution from St! Johns and return to the diocese vf | Bishop Bernard, where they were or- iginsliy located, that led to the final interdiction of the college and of the priests and the threat of excommu- mication against the priests unless they should submit.Just what effect the announcement thet Me.Edwards will not settle on the basis already announced will have on the struggle between the priests .and the church authorities cannot be, definitely surmised, but further conferences are now in progress and a | ssttloment of a more satisfactory na- ware is expected.FIRST ELECTRIC MERCHANT VESSEL Montreal to

matters that their children shall be endowed with a good education.In practically all the rural districts the teachers are underpaid, with the result that untrained \"and inexperienced instructors

teachers were at work and urging their hearers to take more interest in educational ! work and to increase the school rate so that trained teachers could be secured.They also urged the people tp send their children to school and to teach them tu respect the teachers and to appreciate the value of an education.ELEPHANT FALLS ON MUSK OX, RESULT FATAL.Lacombe, Alb.Aug.13\u2014A show train left the

which are expected to disclose some surprisingly large fortunes, in one case an accumulation of nearly $1,000,000, The expected murder indictments by the grand jury were not handed down to-day owing to the time taken up by testimony of various witnesses who appeared before that body, One of these was Jack Rose, who, it was learned, held the jury spell-bound for two hours when he repeated in an oratorical flow of excellent English the confession of his part in the murder plot and his alleged graft relations with Lieutenant Becker, which he has already made to District Attorney Whitman in writing.Becker Murder Paymaster.One of the jurors is reported to have remarked that he had not heard the equal of the story portrayed in ang melodrama or saffron-hued dime- novel.The one additional facts of importance which the tittle, bald- headed gambler added to his previous accusations against the police lieutenant, was, it was learned.that Becker, himself, was in effect the paymaster of the murder crew.When Becker, \u201cBridgie\u201d Webher and Rose met in front of the Murray Hill Baths on the morning of the murder, according to the testimony of the witnesses, Becker borrowed from \u201cRridgie\u201d Webber the $1000 \u201cblood money\u201d in large bills, handed it to Rose, who handed it to Sehepps.who then passed it on to \u201cGib the Blood and his three thug companions.Borrowed Murder Money.Becker, according to Rose, said to Webber : \u201c\u2018Bridgie ! owe you $500 already.Lend me another $1,000 and I'l make it all right with you.\u201d \u201cTwo days later,\u201d Rose testified, \u201cWebber sent Jack Sullivan to Becker to get the money back, but he never got it and he has not got it et.\u201d y Rose also to-day told the jury the specific part which he charges that Jack Sullivan, the former \u201cKing of Newsboys,\u201d played in the murder plot.He said that on the night of the murder Sullivan, after riding sround town with Becker went to Webber's gambling house, where the murder erew gathered, and then \u20180 the Hotel Metropole with instructions to find out whether Rosenthal was dining at the hotel.This Sullivan did, Rose said, and reported to the men who shortly afterward committed the murder where their in.pended victim could he found.Weber, who was also a witness, testified, it was learned, that this was his understanding of Sullivan's duty, but said he could not swear that the former newsboy had performed it.Both Rose and Webber told of the assurances which they said Becker gave them of protection after the murder.Said He Could Fix Whitman, \u201cIf we had not known that Whitman had the number of the grey automobile\u201d said Rose, \u201cwe would have felt ali right, Becker said \u2018don\u2019t worry about Whitman; we can fix him all right; but it didn\u2019t look to us much as if he could be fixed when we knew that he got up out of bed lean than an hour after the murder and was or.the scene.\u201d - Judge Mulqueen to-day handed down a decision denying Becker's counsel the right to examine the minutes of the grand jury in conncetion with the finding of the indictment already standing against his client.Mr.Whitman received a telegram from Assistant District Attorney Rubin this afternoon saying he would arrive in Hot Springs to-morrow morning.Rubin will return here with Sam Schepps, who is

astonishing output since the production of his first work for the stage in 1872, He has written and had produted, in that period of forty years, practically an opera à year, and many of them have

not only in France, but in other countries as well.He was a composer of solid musicianship, whose wonderful technical ability was always sufficient to cover frequent lack of imagination.His Greatest Operas.- Massenet studied harmony and composition under Reber and in 1863 won the Grand Prix de Rome in the class with Ambrose Thomas.ITis bent was early toward dramtic music.Among his best known operas are \u201cDon Cesar de Bazan, \u201cMary Magdelene,\u201d 8 sacred drama: \u201cEve\u201d a mystery: \u201cLe Rio de Lahore,\u201d \u201cManon.\u201d \u201cLe Cid,\u201d

Tom\u201d Sharkey, once a leading heavyweight pugilist, with a record of standing 25 + rounds before Jim Jeffries and giving the then champion one of the hardest battles of his career, announced himself to-night as a \u201ccontender for/the white heavyweight championship of the world.\u201d Sharkey expects to gain this distinction after a long period of retirement by taking the measure of

arrange a match with Burns, \u201cunder any fair conditions the latter may name.\u201d He expresses confidence that if he takes \u201ca course in strict training,\u201d he can re-enter the ring and

Ont, Aug.13\u2014Is part of the gang which was connected with the robbery in New Westminster last February working quietly in this city distributing part of the swag, as is being dune in Toronto?Some of the bankers aie inclined to think that such is the case, for since the report in yesterday afternoon's Free Press to the effect that a $10 bill of the stolen money had been turned into the Bank of Montreal, several other bills have been passed in the city, Today the receiving teller of the Bank of Toronte, while going through the deposit of one of the bank's regular customers, discovered two $5 bills which had been among the stolen money.He immediately notified the Bank of Montreal in this city, which in turn communicated with the Toronto authorities and they were instructed to send the \u2018bills to Toronto at once.London detectives are of the opinion that the $10 Bank of Montreal bill which turned up in London, one of those stolen from the New Westminster branch of the bank, came in from some other place and was not passed here at all.The bill in question came to the Bank of Montreal from the Molsons Bank.The Molsons Bank receives all the American money which is taken in by the Michigan Railway Company and forwards it to Detroit, while the Canadian money collected in that city is forwarded to the bank here.\u2018Therefore it is quite possible, the detectives think, the bill could have been presented at any place on the Michigan Central line.STR.PRINCE GEORGE I$ PAST IN YARMOUTH MUD.Yarmouth, N.S.August 13\u2014Ar] high water this motning another ineffectual attempt

over President Taft's veto.The vote, 170 to 80, was made possible only by the defection of twenty-one Republicans who voted with the Democrats.The announcement of Democratic success created a wild scene in the House and amid great confusion the Republican leaders protested that Speaker Clark must count as voting ten members who answered \u201cpresent\u201d to their names, a ruling which would have defeated the Democratic programme by overcoming the five-vote margin and making impossible the recording of the necessary two-thirds vote of \u2018the House.This the Speaker declined to do.Less than an hour alter the wool bill had been repassed in the House, the conferes on the sugar tariff bill met and disagreed.This action is expected to mark the end of sugar tariff consideration in the present session.While Democratic and Progressive leaders of the Senate do not believe the wool bill can be passed in that body over the President's veto, they will make a demand for action on the cotton tariff measure.Republicans Get a Surprise.The vote on the wool bill came as 3 surprise to the Republican leaders of the House.When they discovered that defection from their ranks was to be expected it was too late to prevent it.Not in the memory of the oldest member of the House has a tariff measure ever been passed over the President's veto by the lower branch of Congress.When Speaker Clark announced the vote and declared the bill again had been passed, \u201cthe President's veto to the contrary notwithstanding,\u201d there was a outburst of applause from the Democratic side.The tumult CONCEDE CITY LAND T0 CA, RAILWAY Siding Is Being Built Into the Grounds of the Quebec Exhibition Company.The city of Quebec has just officially concluded an arrangement with the Canadian Northern Quebec Railway, as suggested by the Provincial Exposition Commission.regarding the right of way over two acres of land which the company occupied since the road was constructed and which it held according to & verbal agreement, but reserving to the Exhibition Company, which was dissolved last spring, the right to make further arrangements.The Railway Commission recently recommended the concession of these two acres of land, which had become municipal property, to the Canadian Northern Railway Company, on condition that the latter would construct and operate a siding into the Exhibition grounds.The railway company, a few days ago, commenced the construction of their new branch line connecting with the Exhibition grounds, and these lines must be long enough to contain at leant 25 cars.From the experience of the directors of the Exhibition Company, as well as that of the exhibitors, this will be a great improvement as in the past the latter, and in particular exhibitors of live stock, have had certain inconveniences in getting their exhibits on the grounds.In future, as in all past exhibitions in this city, Quebec will have an organization worthy of the importance of the great fair which has been prepared for this year.Judging from the number of entries already made for the Quebec annual exhibition, which is to be held from the 24th of August to the 3rd of September, the Ancient Capital will witness ane of the largest and most important displays in the agricultural department.STEEL RAIL STRIKE ENDS.Fort William, Ont, Aug.13\u2014Under sn agreement reached this afternoon the strike of the steel rail handlers ended and it is expected that work at the steel docks will be resumed tomorrow.The settlement is based on a compromise proposition, it is understood, which proved satisfactory to both parties.The men asked for 30 cents per hour, an increase of five cents over the old scheduls: and the company has indicated a willingness to split the difference and keep the work going HOUSE PASSES WOOL BILL OVER PRESIDENTS VETO; Narrow Margin of Five Votes Is Secured Only By 21 Republicans Voting with Democrats and A Drastic Ruling By Speaker Champ Clark.was increased by the demands of a half-dozen Republicans that the ruling was unconstitutional.When a semblance of order was restored Representative Gardner, of Massachusettsinsisted that the constitution proved that a two-*hirds vote of the Houde was necessary and that the ten members voting \u201cpresent\u201d should be counted, for they had recorded their presence in the House.Representative Olmstead, of Pennsylvania, one of the foremost Parliamentarians in Congress, supported the contention.Clark Sticks by Ruling.\u201cThose ten members who voted \u2018present.\u2019 \u201d ruled the Speaker, after a tengthy examination of precedents, \u201cage recognized as being present only to constitlute a quorum.The constitution, as interpreted in the past, clearly provides that all decisions must rest on u yea and nay vote.\u201d Representative Fitzgerald, of New York.Democratic, supported Mr, Olmstead, and Mr.Gardner in their contentions, while Minority Leader Mann supported the Speaker's position.The Speaker, when the debate broke out with renewed vigor, quickly put a damper op it.\u201cYou may talk all you want,\u201d he said, \u201cbut the chair has no intention now or later of changing its ruling.\u201d Shortly before the vote was taken Minority Leader Mann appealed to his followers to stand by the Republican party and protective tarifl principles.He urged upon them the necessity to remain with the minority \u201cin order to safeguard a great American industry,\u201d which, he said, would be destroyed under the terms of the Democratie bill.Mr.Underwood, who followed Mr.Mann and closed the debate, exhorted wavering Republican to join with the Democrats in passing the bill over the President, \u201cwho believed he could dam back the demands of the American people with veto messages.\u201d ONTARIO BUSINESS MEN INSPECT NORTH Board of Trade Members to Make Five Day Trip Through the New Country.: Toronto, Ang.13.\u2014One hundred and twenty-five members of the Ontario Associated Boards of Trades, representing every craft and profession in the province, left the Union Station to-night to see for themselves if the North Country really does offer that opportunity for the expansion of their respective businesses that they have _ been informed it does.The suggestion that such a trip should be organized originated when the Toronto Board of Trade toured the country last year.As a result of that ocular demonstration of the North's possibilities there has been a general quickening of interest in New Ontario.One merchant in a northern settlement said that before the trip they could not induce firms to send their representatives north ol North Bay, and those who did so were told to restrict their operations within the limits of the narrowest credit.After the business men of Toronto had seen with their own eyes Toronto drummers flooded the country and the merchants were able to obtain credit for any reasonable amount.Tt was then suggested that if the excursion appealed so strongly to Toronto why should it not be of like advantage to the whole of the province?The excursion that left to-night is the result, On the special train of twelve cars twenty-one towns of Old Ontario were represented.To the string of sleepers and dining cars were attached two private cars, one carrying
