the principle of following municipal boundaries, the other the principle of equality of represen tation.To reconcile these would be a problem for the com'aittee, It was argued that rural The New Scheme.The new scheme regards a million dollar depot at Champlain Market as far too expensive in view of the business to be looked for.The expenditure of a million dollars on the revetment wall was also regarded as unwise.By a change in the original scheme for connection between Poiite-a-Pizeau and Lamp- | son's Cove, the whole water front \u2018from Champlain Market to Point-a- | Pizeau, except

introduced a bill to amend the Railway Act so as to inake more explicit the section which refers fo the setting on fire of crops, fences, etc, by locomotives.- The law at present makes the railway company responsible for damages but, as Mr, Demers pointed out, the sectiun is of little valoe in many cases because there may be two or more railroads using the same line of track and the claim- sat for damages is unable to prove which line is responsible, The bill was given its first reading.STEAMER ARRIVAL, Halifax, N.8, February 10\u2014The Allan Line steamer Tunisian arrived in this port

representing all the leading religious denominktions in the United States.This gift is in adétion to the ten million dollar foundation established by Mr.Carnegie, December 14th, 1910, to \u201chasten the abolition of international war.\u201d The announcement was made at the close of a luncheon at Mr.Carnegie\u2019s home, attended by the trustees of the new foundation.The trustees organized \u201cthe church peace union,\u201d which will be incorporated under the laws of New York State.The income of the fund will be used to organize the moral power of the churches on critical international questions, to circulate peace literature among the clergy, and to bring about the annual observance of a \u201cpeace Sunday.\u201d Conferences of America and Europe will be called to discuss the promotion of peace.When the leading nations abolish war and the fund has fulfilled its purpose the trustees may devote the igcome to other philanthropic uses.UNLICENSED CHAUFFEURS.London,

stolen, Eugene Dwyer wss sentenced this morning to two months for the theft of groceries from a rig.Dwyer, who lived with a family named Bourgeois at 4 Guilbsult street, admitted the theft.; The family he lived with, he said, were in the direst straits, and it was to prevent them all from dying from starvation that he had stolen the provisions.\u2018The little girl, whose funeral he had attended on Monday afternoon when he was arrested, had died from the effects of the hardships she had been exposed to.There was a mother and three children in the family, said Dwyer.and he could not

years\u2019 struggle of the Liberal party to give seli government to Ireland.The Home Rule Bill, which is now to be presented in the House of Commons for the third time, will, if carried, receive the royal assent, with or without the consent of the House of Lordsstands or whether it will be amended to meet the susceptibilities of UI- ster, will depend on the nature of the concessions which the Prime Minister announced he would make in behalf of the government at the proper time.The King\u2019s Speech.The King's speech, in a grave passage, expressed the earnest desire of His Majesty to attaid a settlement by consent, and this desire was fervently echoed by Premier Asquith, in the House of Commons, and Viscount Morley in the House of Lords in their opening speeches.The scene in the House of Lords was brilliant in the ex:reme, and in the Commons decorous.The appearance of the Assembly gave no indication of the passions surging in the opposing sides or that the sessions so quietly commenced might lead to events little short of civil war, Settlement Unlikely.\" Despite the conciliatory ' tome: of ley, small hope, was (cle ia.the dob- bies of parliament tonight that the

various pro- ! vincial departments of agriculture.There is contained in the initial num- agriculture in the nine provinces, together with portraits of the various ministers.It has probably occurred to the department to issue The Gazette because of the success which has marked the production of The Labor Cazette.There seems to be 3 wide field for this latest Government periodical.LIBERAL \u201cBIG INTERESTS.\u201d The Cansds Coment Co, one of the big combines which came into being during the regime of Sir Wilfrid Lanrier, has announced that four of its branch plants will be closed for a time owing to the falling off in the demand for this matérial.This fact prompts the Regina Leader, a Liberal paper, to rise and remark that, if such a thing occurred under what that paper would like us to believe would be a Liberal low-tariff or free-trade regime, it would be heralded abroad as a sample of industrial ruination caused by the accession to office of a Canadian anti-protection party.But the Leader is merely supposing something\u2014and a highly improbable supposition at that There has never beer a free-trade or anti-protection party in power in Canada since 1878, the pecple of this country getting sufficient of a lesson during the previous four years to wean them from any free trade policy for all time.It is true that Sir Wilfrid and the Liberal party advocated every kind of umrestricted free trade, commercial union asd reciprocity policy under the sun when they were in operation.But, bless you! They never thought of putting it into effect once they had got into office.It was merely for vote-citching purposes; bat it never accomplished anything even in that category.Aad, after being returned to office in 1886, on à snap verdict, because of a separate school issue in Manitoba which placed thousands of extreme Protestants on the side of Laurier, the Liberal party became protectionist in practice, and has remained 80 ever since in every respect, barring the reciprocity spasm, which, while throwing the farmers open to the competition of the world, zealonsly guarded the welfare of the Big Interests and left their protection almost untouched.And there has been no change since the new government came into power.So that, if the Protected Interests are closing any of their factories, it must be owing to the tariff which Sir Wilfrid and the Liberal party left us, or for reasons entirely removed from the tarié.Seeing that the Leader has raised the point, however, it might be opportune to inquire if it would be possible that Senator Edwards, President of the cement trust and Liberal appointes to the upper chamber, had decided to close those four cement mills in order to increase the number of unemployed, and thus give the calamity-howling Liberals one more resson to advance why they should be returned to power to continue the protection to the cement trust and other combines domissted by Liberal politicians and sesators?One is about as reasonable as the other, Usually about this time of year the C P.R informs us that it is going te epend millions in building à

we have all along suspected, the view that, under the Hay-Paunes- fot treaty, American vessels cannot fustly be made exempt frem tolls at the Panama canal.The only wonder ie that only now is he saying so in uamistakesble terms.In previous an ticles, we have attributed his retle ence on the eubjert te his desire to wmamtala bis influences over an ua divided Democratic following in com gress bls lll and eurreney te \"islation to be passed before the canal form legislation \u2018had rua the gauntlet of that body and become law.Now that this has been accomplished, and since his personal ascendency has become so great that he could safely propose almost anything he pleased, he has no hesitation in making known his mind on the Panama canal question in good time far appropriate leg- is opened and trafic begun.With his predecessor President Wilson differs, but not with the bulk of the American people.Mr.Taft was in the throes of a presidential election when be favored discrimination at the canal In his recent Canadian addresses, he has admitted that the design of such discrimination was really to give a subsidy to an interest requiring special protection.If there was any doubt about the legality of the discrimination, he has been quite willing that that point sheuld de settled by arbitration.But even in the heat of 2 presidential election, he found very few to agree with him, in either party.| Senator Elihu Root, than whom there could be no higher authority, declared outright that the provision was violation of the treaty.The reputable press, almost without exception and of both parties, took the same view.The singular speetacle was presented of the administration of a coustry taking a step almost unanimously condemned by the people of that country.A little while ago, there seemed some likelihood that congress would suspend the operation of the offending provision for a period long enough to permit the settlement of the difficulty by amicable negotiation, by reference to the Hague Tribunal, or by reference to any other tribunal satisfactory to both sides.lf President Wilson stands for instant repeal, there is no need for such postponement.Unpleagant as the task may be to this or that man who may have committed himself in some other sense, what the President says Congress must do.That is one of the great benefits of the substantial adoption by the United States of the British form of government.The President, with such a man as Wilson in the White House, and a favorable complexion of both houses of con gress, is something more than a president, who merely reads essays on proposed legislation.and sees them thrown into the waste basket.He is a premier.The great measures of congress are government measures.Democratic leaders in congress are virtually his colleagues, and.the.members of his normal cabinet are deputy ministers.Of course, there's many a slip between the cup and the lip.It would go ill with the British form of government at Washington if President Wilson should strain his infu- ence too far, and come to a break with congress.Whether he is doing so in this instance, we shall soon see.~\u2014Hamilton Spectator.To Cure

Winter Carnival which was attended by the Gov- ernor-General and Lady Lansdowne.The following Quebec ladies and gentlemen were presented to Their Excellencies at a Viccregal reception:\u2014 Mr, and Mrs.J.J.Foote, Mr.and Mrs.W.C.Richardson, Mr.O.L.Richardson, Capt.H.C.Sheppard, Mrs.U, Tessier, Miss De Foy, Mrs.Gregor, Mrs.A.Rosseau and Miss Roy.Mr, Taillon and Mr.Robinson Elected.At this time, 30 years ago, the pleasing information was received in Quebec that Mr.Taillon, attorney- general of the province, and Mr.Rohertson, treasurer, had both heen elected by acclammation.A determined effort was made by the opponents of these gentlemen to bring out candidates against them, but had to be abandoned owing to the great popu- farity of both.Curliaaa, Our Quebec repiesentatives who attended the Carnival Bonspiel at Montreal, thirty yeari ago, were apparently off their game.They were defeated by the Montreal Caledonias by seven points.Mr, Sewell's rink was beaten by three points, Mr.W.Brodie came out onc shead of the Montreal elub, but in the third drawing Mr.Brodie went down to defeat by four points.B 4 FABRIQUE 8TREET, À Mr.Jean Prevost: \u201cI have à word } importance that

quite understand that my leained friend did not want to discuss\u2019 the facts of the evidence.A project was organized to-undermine the honor of the members of the Legislature, and now they come here with their heads high to boast of it.It is a case of conspiracy to get proof by fictitions meads.Mr.Beck says \u2018the end juste cfies the means,\u2019 that is for you to decide.\u201d - Mr.Laflamme closed by Informing the committee that they were sitting \u201cwith daggers over their heads.\u201d Mr.Marechal rose and explained that he had made no mention of the ~ fucts contained in the latter half of Mr.Laflammc's argument, as they did not conceren him: \u201cI am here\u201d he said, \u201cto defend Messrs.Nicaola and Macnab, I have nothing to do outside of that.If there was a conspiracy, Messrs.Nichols and Mactab never took any part in it.Their con- duet throughout the enquete has been such that you have no reproaches to make them.\u201d .: Hon.Mr.Taschereau then asked Hon.Mr.Chapais, who was present, if it would be possible to arrange a session of the Committee of the Upper House for the following morning.-Hon.Mr.Chapais replied that if it were possible he would arrange it for 10:30 o'clock this morning, and failing that they would sit in the afternoon.The lawyers and those interested then left che room ond tac committee began their task of preparing theif rep.t for the

investigation of the graft charges at the committee of the Legislative Assembly yesterday morning, when Mr.Edward Beck, after having been cross- examined by Mr.N.K.Laflamme, stated that when he had gir- en instructions to the Burns\u2019 mes before the investigation was begus last fall and had told them that he knew certain lawyers who had \u201cinformed him that legsilation wae bought and sold at Quebec, and thas.they had receipted bills in their safes, which although nominally for professional\u2019 serviczs, was in reality nothing more than evidence of graît.Doesn't Want Names.Mr, Lavergne immediately asked for the names of the {awyers in question, but Hon.Mr, Taschereau ruled the question out of order as being outside of the instructions given to the Committee by the House.Mr.Lavergne moved that a special report be made to the House asking for more powers for the Committee, but this motion was defeated on being put to the vote of the Committee, \u2018 Mr.Lavergne subsequent|y brought up the question in the Legislative Assembly, a report of which is\u2019 contained in another column.Hon.Rodolphe Lemieux, ex-Post- master General, was the first called and denied that he had had any connection whatever with the Montreal Fair Association Bill.He had come down to Quebec to follow the passage of the Montreal City bill, and while here had met Mr.C.B.K.Carpenter, of Gaspe, who had asked to be introduced to Mr.Mousstau, who the Gaspe man had explained, was promoting a bill in which he \u2018was interested, Mr.Lemieux said that he had introduced Carpenter to Mr.Mousseau, and then he had left them.Mr.Lemieux said that he had known Carpenter since 1896, and in reply te Mr.Belley, the witness admitted that Carpenter's father had been connecte (Continued on

river above La Tuque, and the plans fob the daming of the river that will develop 500,000 horse power for commercial purposes, are now before the Federal Government for approval.The dam planned, will stretch across the river some four miles nosth of La Lutte, 85 miles north of La Tuque, and 250 miles distant from the river St.Lawrence.The dam will be 1,700 feet in length and the cost of the work, that will take two years to accomplish, is estimated at approximately $1,400,000, The engineers in the employ of the Provincial waterways Commission have devoted nearly two years time difficulties, and some two months ago completed \u2018their labors, when the plans were submitted to the Quebec Government, and after examination by departmental engineering experts, approved.The consent of the Federal Government, is, however, necessary, before the work can be proceeded with, as the St.Maurice is classified as a navigable river, and the permission of th: government must be had before the dam can be constructed.Tt is expected that the Federal authorities will accord the request within the next month, when tenders for the work will be published.Toronté, Feb.10\u2014Sir James Whitney

earthquake lasting from 15 to 30 seconds and disturbing particularly what are geologically known as the Devonian and Silurian sections of the north-eastern parts of the United States, took place shortly \u201c after 1.30 today, being especially severe in the central and northern parts of New York State.Virtually all of New York State, including this city, feit the shock, and New England geserslly, lower cast.ern Canada, and parts of New Jersey snd eastern Pennsylvania were shaken.Tremors were recorded as far south as Washington and as far west as St.Louis.One Man Killed.At Albany, in this state, the shock was severe enough to shake pictures from the walls of the Capitol, while at Binghampton a laborer was killed by the caving-in of a trench in which he was working.At Fort Phin the heavy doors of a bank vault shook nn- der the influence of the quake and from other parts of the state the falling of chimneys, swaying of houses and destruction of fragile objects was reported.In New York City the preliminary tremor was felt at 1:35.15.At 1:35.45 the shock had reached its maximum intensity, and at' 1:37.30 the movement subsided altogether, making the total duration of the quake two and one- quaster minutes, as given by the seismograph.The period in which the shock was perceptible by man was from 10 to 30 séconds long.and start- of in a majority of cases about 1:35, So far as known, the movement was from north-west to south-east, with the boundary lines of the territory affected converging to a point in the Atlantic.: The Initial Move.The initial movement of the quake occurred at points near the upper Atlantic seaboard about 1:35 and extended to places in the northern parts of New York state about three minutes later, reaching Albany at 1:38, Watertown at 1:39 and Rochester at 1:37.thesk \u2018cities the movement is reported to have taken place between 1:34 and 1:37.No seismographic records being obtainable from these localities, the time given in these cases deals with the moment when the shock was felt.Points in central Massachusetts, among them Springfield and Worcester, report the disturbance to have ce- curred shortly before the time given by the seismograph of the Museum of Natural History of New York.At Philadelphia the shock was felt at 1:33, and Georgetown University, st Profit by it.sorted and increased.three bons for one.Our Badge, WE

movement ani end.« the quake the records taken ia New York \u2018City.* According te Di.Edmund O.Moevy, curator of of the Ainerican Museum of Natural History, the character of the raçord left by the seismograph in this institution shows that the taovement of the quake was not attended by great lateral oscills- tions.Slight tremors were registered on the ent yesterday at irregular intervals, and throughout the last 26 hours slight disturbances ol the earth eruat were recorded by it, their geners! character indicating that the movement was slight and entirely local Former Earthquake.The last earthquake registered by the seismograph of the American Museam took place om Nov.8, 1912, and occurred in Alasim.The vibrations then recorded were twice as great as those made today.No local seismic disturbance comparable in magnitude with the ons.recorded today can be recalled by the attaches of the Museum.The last esrthquake felt in New York topk place in the territory of Charleston, S.C., in 1 In 1884 a general djsturbance took place over the grester part of the area affected today.; According to, James S.Kemp, head of the Department of Geology of Columbls Univegsity, the movement today followed in northern New York the line oi the Champlain fault, while in Canada it may have travelled along the Logan fault, both of them huge fissures in the strata of the older rock masses, and shemselves the products of earthquakes.ee Cambridge, Mass, Feb.10\u2014The Geological Observatory showed that the earthquake today was the heaviést re- i corded since the instrument was set up six years ago.The maximum vibration was at 1:33.25 p.m.Faint tremors had been recorded nearly 12 hours before, but these movements were believed to be due to heavy surf on the Maine and Nova Scotia coasts.The record also showed eight shocks during the forenoon.These became more pronounced at 1:31.57 and from that time on increased in A .force until the maximum was reached From points located between ; a minute and a half later.Then they gradually decreased and the last were recorded at 1:40.34.; It was the opinion of the university scientists that the earthquake originated 150 to 200 miles south-west of this city.Tt was sufficiently strong to be detected outside the observatory.Tremors were noticed at the court house in East Cambridge.Syracuse, Feb, 10\u2014Consternation reigned in Sygacuse at 1:34 o'clock this afternoon, when earthquake tr:- mors\u2014a rare occurrence here\u2014shook the entire city.The shocks, created general alarm, and almost a panic in some of the schools.The children at Grant school were sent home.As the building swayed, plaster feli from the walls.pi damage there was estimated at All Onondaga county felt the force of the shocks.At Skaneateles the type in a newspaper was \u201cpied.\u201d IN NEW YORK.New York, Feb.10\u2014The seismograph at the American Museum of Natural History recorded the maximum shock of the earthquake at 1:35.45 p.m.The preliminary tremors were felt at 1:35.15, the first shock at 1:35.25.So-called trailers followed the maximum shock until 1:37.30.The direction of the disturbance was either south south-east or, south south-west, which.the authorities were .unable to determine.The record indicated that while the centre of the quake was comparatively near, the disturbance was not heavy.Several buildings in Brooklyn, including Boreugh Hall and the court house, were shaken.Tenants in New York's highest buildings\u2014the Woolworth and Singer-\u2014said they {cit no tremors whatever.- IM OTTAWA, Ottawa, Feb.10\u2014A severe earthquake was feit in the Capital today at 1:31 pm.and considerable damage resulted.oye Dr.Otto Klotz, assistant astronomer at the Dominion Observatory, is- sued the follqwing- official report on the quake: _ ° ; ; \u201cA fairly severe local earthquake was recorded today at 1:31 pm.The disturbance lasted about: four minutes, that ie, the earth oscillated during that time, although it would not be sensible to persons for that length of time.It was'far more severe than the one which occurred on April 28, 1913, and which was felt over an area of 25000 square miles.\u201cThe distance from the epi-centre, (the point an the.earth's surface vertically above the point where the quake.had its origin,) is about seventy miles.The earghquake simply means that there has been am adjustment of the stresses of the crust of the earth so that the eirth\u2019s coast fits a little more snugly tow since comparative equilibriug has been restored.\u201d \u2014\u2014\u2014 , - IN TORONTO.Toronto, Fed, 10\u2014The earthquake wae distinctly folt in this city, and a tlwmber of people had rather atactiing iences in connection therewith.A 10My residing an Delaware Avenue says she was thrown to the floor from & couch on which she was lying, and a Collegé street resident states that his telephone- was\u2019 shaken from the wall by the force of the tremor.Houses in various sections of the city swayed for a few seconds, and much alarm was felt on the part of citizens.The Toromty observatory reports as fol- ~y 7 Perfect Port.Its pop ularity is due solely to its unapproschable flavor and body.- \"At all deslers, cafes, ete.lows: \u201cTwo pronounced earthquake shocks were registered today by the seismograph at the Toronto observatory.Tie first shock, according to the instrument, occurred at 11:39 am.and thé second at 1:29 p.m.The first | shock was at a distance of about 600 | miles from Toronto, and the second one was quite close to this city.\u201d \u2014 St.Catharines, Ont, Feb.10.\u2014The earthquake shock was distinctly felt here in the upper stories of buildings.Two shocks were plainly perceptible on No.3 section of the Welland Canal.Meaford, Ont, Feb.\u201d 10\u2014Earth- quake vibrations were felt here at 1:40 p.m., and lasted two or three minutes.Hpnging pictures and foilage of plants were noticeably affected.- Owen Sound, Ont, Feb.10\u2014The earth tremor was quite perceptible in this town at 2 o'clock this afternoon.It was particularly noticeable in the west side.MORE MONEY REQUIRED FOR ANGLICAN CHURCH.Montreal, Feb.10\u2014A strong plea for better support from the laity was voiced by charge to the Anglican Synod this afternoon when he stated that if another year like 1913 were experienced it would become necessary to consider reducing the stipends of the clergy.Some signs of enthusiastic support Were needed and he called upon the people to give more freely, denouncing the luxury of the rich and their competition for social distinction.The man who gave one-tenth of his $1,000 a year felt the sacrifice far more keenly than the rich man who gave a tenth of his $25,000, So the rich should give until they felt that they | were denying themselves something.He denounced the system of the rich competing among themselves for com mercial and social distinction, warning them that often as a man\u2019s money increased so his love of it increased.OTTAWA WANTS MARRIED WOMEN TO VOTE Ottawa, Feb.10.\u2014The capital will join in the movement initiated in Toronto to give married women
