Col.The Hon.Sam Hughers, Minister ot Militia and Defence, and Brig.Gen.Ellison, with staff.saw the cavalrymen carry out all phases of military work under tha chief command of Lieut.Col.Smart of Montreal.The minister's party arrived at the camp at 10 o'clock, and were met by Col.Smart, when the cavalry, under the command of Lieut.Col.Morrill, were formed up for inspection.Their formation from the right was as fo!- lows, the cavalry being in brigad- mass: _he Sixth Hussars, Seventeenth Hussars, the Thirteenth Dragoons and the Twenty-sixth Dragoons.Besides the cavalry, there were sections of the Canadian Army Service Corps, the cavalry Geld ambulance and a section of the Canadian Army Veterinary Corps.Immediately after the inspection, the cavalry formed 4 mass and went past the inspection party in column of route, and went to their respective positions to take part in tactical manoeuvres.One regrettable incident marke: the sham fight.Major Charles M.- Lean.of the Thirteenth Dragoons, well known horseman and Brockville millionaire, in passing through a gap was fired upon by a soldier in the blue force at close range.He was painfully but not seriously injured.Sir Tan Hamilton, Col.Hughes and party then left for London by special train, WALKER\" MOUNT MCKINLEY 15 CONQUERED BY THE STUCK PARTY HIGHEST POINT ON CONTINENT REACHED JUNE 7, WITHOUT A MISHAR Seattle, Wn., June 20.\u2014Archdeacon Hudson Stuck, the Episcopal missionary, who set out from Fairbanks, Alaska, several months ago to climb Mount McKinley, reached the summit of the highest peak of the great mountain June 7, according to a private cable despatch received here today.The message, which was sent by Archdeacon Stuck from Fairbanks, said: REACH SUMMIT JUNE 7.\u201cExpedition successiul.Accomplished first complete ascent of Mount McKinley June 7.i.P.Karstens, RG.Tatum, Walter Harper and [ reached top of south (the highest of all peaks) on a clear day when it was possible to read all the angles of the mountain and other points and make certain that the peak we had conquered was the highest of all.\u201cWe successfully carried a mercurial barometer to the top and made complete readings and observations which, with simultaneous.readings, at Gibben, should permit close approximation of the true altitude when proper corrections are applied.Water boiled at 174.9 degrees.The present estimate of the summit's height is up- + wards of 20,500 feet.\u201cWe were able to read angles on alt promigent points.With field giasses we clearly saw the flag pole erected in 1910 by the Thomas Lloyd expedition on the north peak (the lower of the two main peaks).\u201cAfter completing observations on the summit we hoisted the American flag on the upper basin.erected a six foot cross and said \"Te Deum\u2019 on the highest point of North America.\u201cThe northeast ridge is the only possible approach to the summit.Due to the violent earthquakes of last July the higher ridges were terribly shattered and this added largely to the danger.difficulty and labor of the ascent.ous bad weather, hewing a passage three miles long.through this side.This was the chief cause of delay as we made rapid progress at all other stages of the journey.\u201cThe chief credit for our success is due to Karsten's good judgment, resourcefulness and caution.We did not have a single mishap.\u201d TWO GIRLS DROWN WHILE MEN SWIM TO SAFETY Banff, Alb.June 20\u2014Eva Ballens: and Lily Sutherland.each 25 years of age.employed at the Ban: Springs Hotel, were drowned late yesterday afternoon when a raft on which they were standing careened over Spray Falls.The two girls and five male employes of the hotel were standing on the raft, which was tied to the embankment at the confluence of the Bow and Spray rivers.The fasten- mgs broke and the raft rushed out into the swirling waters of midstream.Four of the men, whose names cannot be learned, sprang overboard and swam for shore.leaving the women to their fate.The fifth man mad« frantic efforts to run the raft to safety but failed.He was later rescucd in an exhausted condition.EARLY TO BED ADVOCATE IS DEAD, AGED 105 YEARS Utica, N.Y., june 20\u2014=John Collins, aged 105 ycars, is dead at his home in Liast Schuyler, Herkimer county.He was born in Ireland in 1808 He attributed his advanced ycars to his early to hed policy and abstinence from the use of tobacco and alcoholic drinks.STEAMSHIP ARRIVALS.New York: France, Havre;

\u2018\u2018the Irish.\u201d Is it with such paltry quibbling as this that it hopes to escape the onsequences of its gssertion of the day before?We, hold no brief to speak for the Irish but if L'Action Sociale eousiders that the charge which it makes in that paragraph would not be resented by the Irish \u2018generally,\u2019 then we hold that it is no judge either of human nature as a whole or of the spirit and temper of the Irish race in particular.If it is with such explanations as these that it thinks to undo the effect of the contentious wards which it uttered, we opine that it would have been better to leave the matter in statu quo.Take the last words of the above quoted paragraph from L\u2019Action Sociale, which says: °* He i» continuing a tradition.\u201d Those words, to our way of thinking at least.prove that the attack of that journal was intended as *\u2018in a grneral sense.\u201d\u201d 1f ** Irish Catholic™\u2019 was \u2018continuifig à \u2018tradition, how could it be other than general?\u2018Does mot L'Action Sociale condernn itself out of its own mouth?As to \u201cabuse and falsification\u2019\u2019 we would remind L'Action Soviale that it might be better to take the beam out of its own eve before making accusations of this.kind Wa weuld recall to it the fact that in the first article whic it wrote upon the subject of the propbecd .Wolfe Memorial Church it suggested that Cancy Scott was seeking to affront the French-Can- adian Catholics, while a day or two afterwards it asserted that it had never thought anything of the kind.: Again, in its opening article it contrived to create the impression that the site offered for the memorial church was within the Battlefields Park, thus giving many ple an entirely erroneous impression and attracting to the proposal much criticism which was absolutely misdirected and unjustifiable.Yet it was perfectly obvious at the first glance at Canon Scott's first letter that the site in question was private property.We do not intend to discuss the merits of Canon Scott's proposal in this article.But we do say that if the English Protestants desire to put up a church on their own private property, then that is their affair and theirs alone, and no intimidation or intoler- \u2018ance on the part of L'Action Sociale will count as much as a drop in the bucket with them.It is pos- \u2018sible that L\u2019Action Sociale may entertain the idea be a feature of the festival.Queen Alexandra's intense interest in the hospitals is to be graciousiy remembered, several thousand ladies having volunteered to go to the chief public places and sell roses for the benefit of the hospitals.It is said that in London alone a sale of twenty millions is expected.And at least three hundred other cities and towns are arranging to do honor to the Dowager Queen with equal enthusiasm.It is altogether a very remarkable demonstration and she is worthy of it.Her way of living has been pure and straight; alike iu her family, social and official conduct she has set a true example.And so this Alexandra festival is no hollow exhibition of reverence for royalty, but a hearty expression of popular affection, almost personal in its warmth for a woman who wears unwithered in the fiercest light the \u2018white flower of a blameless life.\u201d Comment of The Press Prominent among the features with which it is proposed to mark the celebration of one hundreds years of peace between English-speaking people are those of an educational nature.The International Uonferenee for the consideration of the commemoration of the century of peace state the educational festures as follows: An organized endeavor should he made in British-American countries to promote by well considered methods, the growth of the feelings of mutual respeet and goodwill, which already exist.This might include: (a) The endowment of chairs of British- American history, with special reference to the peace- fui progress and relations of the two peoples, and based upon the principles of an interchange of professors.and the endowment of travelling scholarships to enable journalists and writers to visit the various i English-speaking countries.(b) The awarding of prizes for essays and some other topics in all schools, colleges and universities.(c' The co-operation of the respective committees in the preparation of a history of the Century of Peace from which text books and school books in the several countries may be prepared or revised.(d: An annual peace-day celebration in the schools.Speeches.religious services, stopping work for five minutes and other features of the actual | celebration would draw attention for the time being to the good-will existing between Great Britain and the United States, and monuments would do something that they are existing here on sufferance and that they \u2018must consult its aweet will whenever they wish to do \u2018anything.If that is ao, then\u2019 we should advise L'Actian Sociale to disshyse itself of this idea.This is a free \u2018country and any ene race or creed is as much entitled to its \u2018\u2019 placé it the sun \u201d as any other.KNOCKING CANADA It 1a now said that the sensations! decline in C.P.R.stock which ovebrred recently was the result of s manoeuvre of Wall Street speculators who wished to depress the stock so that they might buy it at bargain prices.Circumstances favored their raid for the time \u2018being, but the effect was soon spent and the real merits of the stock are bringing it hack to ita proper level.The hear movement against C, I.R.has been in process for some time.The speculators hardly dared to attack any of the other leading stocks on the New York market as these were sure to he taken care of ty the Morgan, Rockefeller and other interests.So they selected Canadian Pacific as their vietim.ir.eulars were widely distributed impugning the financial condition of Canada and making the most of the fact that the balance of her trade has heen against her\u2014as if that were any criterion of the prosperity of this country.The old idea was that i country became richer by so much as its exports exceeded its imports on the assumption that the difference was paid in gold.In reality but a very small proportion of the trade balance for or against a country is paid over in gold;

of our brave soldiers, besides sailors and marines on board, and steered a course for the Lion's den in Upper Canada.They came in sight of Little York, the capital of the Upper Province.They passed up

British General Sheaffe sal lied out of the fort, with a considerable force to prevent our landing, but we drove them back and then our vessels all rode down before the town and instantly Sheaffe, with his British slaves and hell-like savage crew in numbers superior to ours, made their appearance on the bank again, fired and charged bayonets and rushed on with all their damned fury, thinking

and Southern Pacific dissolution proceedings, pru- vided the railroad people employed certain lawyers.le added that these vffers were invariably rejected, as the result uf which, presumably, many
