Catholic Conference that is annually hèlt\u2019l ia Bnglar.d under the auspices of the Catholic Truth Society has hitherto been treated by the press as unworthy of mention.It has this year suddenly assumed the importance of a leading congress.The conference began dress on Christian reunion.The Archbishop .of Canterbury's recent missive on the subject, which was a reply to the Pope\u2019s letter to the English people, required a reply and Cardinal Vaughan gave it in such clear terms as willend discussion within the Anglican Church on the bastsofan agreement with the Roman Catholic Church.The kernel of the question of the reunion of Christendom, said Cardinal Vaughan, tofiftiated in the admission of the Roman claim that the Pope had received by divine right authority tc b-u< h ami govern the whole Church.The essence of the Anglican position was a negation of the Roman claim.Until this claim was admitted no basis of reunion was possible.The Cardinal further declared that he did not expect to witness the submission of the English people as a body, to claims that were repudiated at the time of the reformation.He looked to the slower process of individual conversion.These declarations have been ill received by the Ritualists of England and are reported to be also causing the Pope disappointment as a check to his plans for a reunion of the Churches.The report was accepted as true among the members of the Congress, that at the next consistory at Rome another Cardinal will be created for England.The Congress concluded on Thursday with a pilgrimage to Glastonbury Abbey, the oldest shrine in England.Thousands of pilgrims, including one hundred robed clergy, travelled by train from Bristol to Glastonbury.It was not very long ago that popular sentiment would not have allowed such a pilgrimage.On Thursday a large crowd watched with the greatest sympathetic interest the long banner-carrying procession, composed of Catholic Guilds, Jesuits, Dominicans, Franciscans, Benedictincs and Carmelites, alternately singing and reciting prayers.The scene w as animpressiveandpicturesque,one,-and marked an immense change in the position of the Roman Catholic Church in England.Ex-Prime Minister Rosebery returned to London on Thursday.He says there is not the slightest truth in the report that he intends to visit America.The speculative mania in South African stocks shows no sign of abatement.Stock Exchange dealers compare the present time with that of Laws\u2019 Mississippi inflation in France and the South Sea bubble in England.Men who were financially \u201cbroke\u201d two months ago, now boast that they are worth Courts, which moneys, it is pretended, rightfully belong to the Government, to be applied, according to the statute, to the maintenance -nd repair of the Court House and cells and the payment of the petty jurors.High Constable Bissonnette arrived here yesterday having in charge Harris Kent, dry goods merchant, of Sudbury, Ont., who has been arrested on a warrant issued here, charging him with having obtained goods to the value of $338 from w holesale dealers here under false pretences.Kert was refused bail by Judge Dugas this morning.A number of similar charges will, it is understood, shortly he made against Kert by Friedman Bros., Douell & Gibson, N.L.Schloman, J.Cohen & Co , Canada Underwear Co., and others, w ho eay they have been victimized to the extent of $5,000.Grande Lione, Sept.14\u2014Boissonault\u2019s new steam yacht and boat house were burned this morning.Nothing saved.Loss $8,000.No

names of the men are Thomas Hannon, were quoted in June at £1 are now quoted at £PJ.Brokers who were recently struggling to keep their heads above water now employ large corps of clerks, and net

the meantime he has leased Earl Spencer\u2019s house.Despite the success of his Barnato Bank and every other scheme into which he has entered, he has not succeeded in entering the highest financial circles, which is also operating in South African, which yet holds itself aloof from Mr.Barnato.The speculative spirit extends to other branches of the Stock Exchnage and gives impetus to business generally.Paris, Sept.14\u2014The Kclaire publishes despatches from Madagascar, which assert that three thousand Fiench soldiers have died there since the French expedition began operations against the Hovas.The dispatches also say it is not likely that Antanarivo, the Hova capital, will he occupied by the French before spring.The Siecie states that it has received complete explanations of the

the Court of Special Sessions, before Justices Jerome, Jacob and Hayes.The prisoner was Thomas H.Hughes, a druggist at No.281 Tenth ave.On Wednesday the prisoner was found guilty and sentenced to three mouths in the penitentiary.In delivering the sentence of the Court, Presiding Justice Jerome said :\u2014 \u201cHughes, the Court after a long and careful trial, has come reluctantly to the conclusion that you are a guilty man.The whole value of many of these ai tides lies in the trademark.Thousands and huudreils of thousands of dollars arc spent annually in placing them before the public.If the publii- cannot rely upon these articles, then a fraud is being practised upon them and upon the propric tary rights of those persons who own trademarks.New York is a\u2018great commercial city and trademarks arc as important to this city as integrity is to a coiner.This is a class of cases which this Court tloes not look upon with any leniency at all.The sentence of the Court is that you be confined in the penitentiary for a term of three months.\u201d The Justice also intimated that but for the prisoners previous record and the fact that he hud been in jail for some time the sentence would have been much heavier.\u2014New York Tribune.Remnants in all departments at S.Cars-ley\u2019s.Montreal, marked at Special Prices for the Great Remnant Sale.The late Professor

Mr.Stokes, the British Africa trader, who was hanged by Major'Lothaire, an officer of the Congo Iree State, on the charge of selling arms and ammunition to the natives, continues to occupy considerable space in newspapers.It is probable that on his return to Brussels Major Lothaire will be tried for the murder of Mr.Stokes.The latest damnatory fact in connection with the execution is that it occurred in the face of the protests of Major Lothaire\u2019s colleague, Dr.Mcchaux, who thereupon withdrew from the Belgian expedition.Mr.Stokes was ignorant of the French language and Major Lothaire of the English.Mr.Stokes voluntarily entered the Belgiau camp and submitted his trade books to a Judge and Jury who could not understand a won! of It.The English press clatncr that justice be meted out to Lothaire, who they characterize as a cold-blooded murderer.The Christian World, which is informed from a high source, charges that the Belgian officials of the Congo Free State practice inhuman outrages on the natives, forcing them to bring in supplies of ivory and palm oil under penalty of either the lash or mutilation.The paper tulds that baskets of human hands that have been cut off as punishment have been seen at the Congo stations.The officials hold the lives of natives as being of no account.In their drunken orgies they tie up blacks and use them as targets.They are charged with open grossness in their relations with the native women.The paper declares that the Christian missions ought to appeal to King Leopold to sweep out the officials who are charged with these abominations.FRANCE.Marseilles, Sept.15 \u2014 The steamer \u201cShamrock\u201d has arrived here from Madagascar with 143 French soldiers, who were invalided home, on board.In addition to these

Stettin are unanimous in their praise of the masterful generalship of Count Von YValdersee, who reversed the whole programme and snatched unforeseen advantages trom the Kaiser himself.The manner in w\u2019hich he conducted his part of the operations has confirmed theopin-iouathat he will be the one who will guide German armies, iu the next European war in which Germany shall be a combattant.As a tactician he is almost if not the equal of tuu late bicld Marshal Von Moltke and in respect of dash and energy is second to no General that Germany has ever had.In regard to the fighting qualities of the German troops, notions formed by various experts and critics differ somewhat, but in the main are favorable.Throughout the manœuvres the men stood the hardships imposed upon them with wonderful fortitude.The appointment of Sir Frank Lascelles as British Ambassador to Germany is taken as a forecast of Lord Salisbury\u2019s intention to enter into a closer friendship with the Dreibund.The new' Ambassador is widely known to have German sympathies.He is a cousin of Lord Salisbury and through marriage is related to the Duke of Devonshire.Berlin society is in expectation of w itnessing a brilliant period of receptions under the auspices of the new Ambassador, the gaiety of the British Embassy having been rather dampened under Sir Edward Malet\u2019s increasing disposition to curtail the Embassy\u2019s hos-pitalitiee.\t, ITALY.Rosie, Sept.14\u2014The fetes in celebration of the 25th anniversary of the occupation of Rome by Italiau troops will begin to-morrow with a gymnastic

WHEEL.QUEBEC BICYCLE CLCB RACES.Quebec Gets 1 Mile Provincial Championship.The Quebec Bicycle Club held iu second annual races on Saturday and is to be con* granulated upon their success, for they were undoubtedly deserving of being called so although there were one or two mishaps to mar them.For instance it was hard to see Roy go down owing to the slipping of his wheel while riding hard for first place in the mile open, and it was equally disappointing to see Gowen, who has done the five miles i.n 13.41, stand on his head on the track whi e riding easily in a five mile championship race in which the best time made was 13.47 4-5.The one mile provincial championship race however brought out the greatest number of spills, all of them in the final heat.In the first place Coussirat fell and Roy could not possibly avoid going over him, while a little later Aycrst\u2019s wheel slipped and he fell at the north end of the track where Roy also tumbled in the mile open.It was not generally expected tba.t Quebec would win either of the championship races, but the was fortunate enough to win the one mile, in which Laliberte sur* passed all the spectators\u2019 hopes and came in first in an exciting finish.Many of the finishes were close and interesting and none of the events could be really termed tame.A strong contingent of Montreal\u2019s fastest men was present ami carried off

If it had, it certainly would not have tackled the religious difficulty with so light heart.For everyone who knows any thing about the Mennouites acknowledges that they wilt have nothing to do with \u2018secular\u2019 schools at any price.If the Gov eminent had carried out the intention of abolishing all religious exercises from the schools, which Mr.Martin recently do dared to have been his or its intention there would not be a public school now on the Mennonite Reserves, and all hope of eventually bringing the whole body under the system would have to be abandoned To these people religion is the great fact of life.For it they have twice uprooted themselves from their homes and gone out to strange lands.Exclusion of the Bible from the schools would have been so abhorrent to them that further argu ment would have been unnecessary.Even as it is, the greatest prudence has to bo exercised in administering the law, and a large latitude given to inspectors and trustees.\" These letters are exceedingly interesting, and add a great deal that is valuable, to the literature of the much-discussed subject.Wo notice that Dr.Grant is being pretty severely handled in Manitoba by the press

Ending March 19th, 1895.During the past year the regular fortnightly meetings of the Band have been held as usual iu Morrin College, with a very good attendance of members.Early last June, a box of clothing,etc., was forwarded to Mrs.Wright, at Rolling River Mission, a newly opene 1 station, at Miune dosa, Manitoba.The following is an extract from Mrs Wright\u2019s letter of acknowledgment :-\u201cWe received your box some time last summer, we were very pleased and surprised when we found it waiting in Minnedosa for us ;I was very much obliged for the nice parcel sent to me ; the Indian women were in great need of print for waists just then, so I cut up the nice piece you sent me for the poor old grandmothers, and gave the flinnellette for some babies, the poor little creatures looked and I am sure felt very nice iu their pretty pink.\u201d 'fhe Annual Thank Offering Service was held in November and proved a great success, five minute addresses were given by Mr.Love, Mr.Hyde and Mr.Thompson, to these gentlemen ami to all who donated money, east off clothing, toys, etc , the Band is very grateful.The articles received at the service (with the exception of a few garments distributed to our own city mission, and a small box of books) were packed in a large barrel and sent to Rev.Hugh McKay, R mod Lake These books, being suitable for a library iu au y of the outlying charges, have beeu kept over tiJI an opportunity offers.fu the autumn au address was given by Miss Jamieson, and it was then decided to make up a box of dolls, books aijd print for her when she returned to India.A very successful and well attended con cert was held in Morrin College Hall about Christinas time.The programme consisted of missionary hymns, recitations and readings, iu all of which the children acijuitted themselves admirably.îfo admittance fee was charged, but a collection was taken up at the olose of the eveiiing, and the sum $22 realized.During the year Sunday School papers were sent to Mr.Swartout, Indian Mission, Alberni, B.C., and letters were received from Mrs.Wright, Minnedosa, Manitoba, and Mr.McKay, Round Lake.Two members of the Band have left town, but their places have been taken by two geutlcxsB whose services are much appreciated.The Band extends its bs^ty thanks to all who have so kindly helped them dqnng the year.Among many kindnesses received may be mentioned a friend\u2019s generous gift of a sewing machine, which will be of great assistance in the work, a patchwork quilt rqide by a friend, two beautiful scrap books from two little girls, and money contributed by a member who is unable to attend tho meet-ings.The following is an extract from a letter lately received from Round Lake : \u2018Wours of January 8th has coir.e to hand.We are thankful to you for your kind interest in our work.Will thank the Mission Band for the token of their zeal and love for the Master.The barrel came to us all right anil contained just what we were in need of.Every garment is useful and shall assist us in the work.Our school is keeping up, we have three more than our full number ; we are having a hard winter with the Indians, there ere many of them suffering from cold and hunger.We are thankful to the kind friends far away who think of us and help ns, may the blessing descend upon them of Himwhosaid: H w*s naked and ye clothed me.\u2019 \u201d Looking ojfcr the year which lias just closed the Band secs much that might have been done, but the appreciation of their feeble efforts as shown hy the grateful letters of Mrs.Wright and Mr.McKay, and the increasing interest of kind friends in the v.-orL: will be an incentive to more earnestness iu the Jutcie L.Strand, Secretary.Tha*T .4, i.s li 4»^ xrl W \u2014J I, ¦ i t-x i.a icr So rommon Z-

Canada, upon \u201cOur Material Resources,\u2019\u2019 affords such gratifying reading and is of so encouraging a nature for Canada and Cana dians, that it is herewith printed in full.It is worthy of both reading and preservation Upon rising to speak to the toast, Mr.Hague said :\u2014 Mr.President :\u2014In speaking of the resources of the Dominion of Canada I must first endeavor to correct some well-meant but much mistaken representations that have been made upon the subject\u2014which repre sent&tions though apparently advantageous and flattering to our national pride, are capable of being used, and indeed are con siantly used, much to our discredit and dis advantage.Nothing is more common in speaking of our resources, than to refer to the vast extent of our territory, and the immense number of square miles that each of its Provinces comprises.This very Province of Quebec for example, has an area larger \u2019.ban that of Great Britain.Ontario is bigger than the whole of France.While Canada as a whole, is sometimes enthusiastically described as having far more territory than the whole of the United States.All which is un donbtedly true, so far as mere measurement in square miles is concerned.But taken by itself, and apart from further information and explanation, it only leads to very embarrassing questions and very humiliating conclusions.For if our territory is as large as that of the United States, and on the same continent ; and if, as is true, the exploration and settlement of the two regions bega nearly at the same period the question iu evitably arises : Why then have you made so little of all those resources hitherto?Why is your population only one tenth of that of the United States ?And how is it that your trade, commerce, and realized wealth presents such miserable figures alongside your great neighbor ?W hat is the matter with you?What has been the matter with you during the last 200 years ?And an observer, especially from the United States, would be much inclined to one of two conclusions, or perhaps both.Either that we were a sloth-tul, uneuterprisiog, easy-going and non-progressive set of people, or that if not so naturally, these effects have been produced by the blighting influences of mouarchial institutions.Ami iu truth, this is very much the course of thought both on this side of the Atlantic and the other.It is a fixed conviction of the people of the United States that Canada is slow and backward ; and one constantly hears it, people don targue about it, it is a sort of axiom ; it is taken for granted.And British opinion \u2022 on the subject is very largely takcu from U.S.sources, besides which they have the evidence of the immense volume of trade with the one, as compared with the relatively small figures of the other.All which is founded upon these most irrational anil misleading statements about the area of our respective territories.Now it will be evident ou the smallest consideration ; that statements about square miles of terri tory are absolutely valueless, unless tho character of the territory itself, the nature of its soil, and capacity of production, are put prominently forward Take for example what we see around us in this grand old Capital city ; a narrow strip of beautifully cultivated countiy stretches before us on looking northward, then arise a aeries of forest covered mountains, which mountains stretch away and away for scores and hun dreds of miles with a mere fragment of arable or improvable giound, as far as the regions of eternal ice and snow around the Pole.Pursuing our course down the magnificent and expanding St.Lawrence, these mountains come to the very edge of the river, leaving not a single mile of territory susceptible of cultivation or habitation, good deal of the same development observable on the south shore only a small, narrow slip is susceptible of cultivation, ami you soon come to the region which must for ever remain iu a state of wilderness and forest, inasmuch as it is incapable of being turned to any other uses.\\ el all these vast stretches of uncultivatable territory, moun tainous and forest clad, where no industry can possibly be carried on but that of the lumberer, the trapper and the hunter, are in-cluded in any statistics of the extent of the Provinces ; and people taking these statistics, who are ignorant of the realitiei of things, make foolish comparisons and say that we have so many square miles in Quebec, and so many square miles in Ohio or Illinois, and say it these States produce so many millions of bushels of wheat, corn, cheese, cattle and what not, all owing to their energy and industry, what a miserable set of people they must he in Canada, who from tho same area do not produce a tenth part of the returns.The same remark applies also to a considerable extent to Ontario.There are enormous regions comprised\tunder the name of Ontario that are uncultivated, and iuculti vatable, that\tmust remain for ever a vast region of rock and forest.In fact, the greater part of the mere mileage of these older Provinces represent what must forever be a natural wilderness.And these remarks might be extended also to Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, to the North-West and to British Columbia.The enormous territory that some people so ignorantly speak of is only available incertain parts and to a certain extent.Now I malte bold to say, and I will challenge proof to the contrary, that Canadians have made fully as much, if not more, of the available resources of their territory so far, as the people of tho United States.I say that of such regions, and they are very large indeed, that are susceptible of clearing and cultivation.W e have cleared and are cultivaUng, and have developed out of what was wilderness within the memory of man, great regions covered with all the appliances of civilization.Roads, bridges and steamboat*, ami railway firms, farmhouses, orchards and gardens, village*, towns, and cities, which we are not ashamed to put alongside of tho same things either iu the United States or in auy country in the world.But it would be just as absurd to expect the mountainous region of the Adirondacks in New York, to grow as much wheat, and as fine crops as tjie best portiors of Ohio cr Illinois,as to expect the vast mountainous regions of oqr orthern territory to become the houses of civilization £ and exhibit all the developments of advancement and progress.Canadians cannot be twitted wjth being slow and unprogresvive, and that our ffjrm of Government hai not beeu a blight upon our energies, can be demonstrated by a very brief statement of facts.The whole settlement of what is now Canada, and the only possible avenue qf setllenvint up to the time of the conquest, was by the 8t.Lawrence River and waters bordering upon it.Instead of a great stretch of Atlantic coast running from Maine to Georgia, with scores of great rivers debouching up into it, and up which the tide of settlement flowed in vast (quantities, we had simply the St.Lawrence River ami the tl)io strips of land bordering the Gulf of St.Lawrence ami the Bay of Fundy.Up to the time of the American Revolution about two hundred thousand people had come and settled ou the edge of the waters, Moutreal being then almost the farthest bound of civilization.1 he United States, (comprising all New England, New \\ ork, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, Delaware, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia), more accessible, more productive, and up to that time far exceediug in natural resources, had come to have a population of about three millions.Now, wc will take that as a starting point, for that is ihe only fair starting point when comparing the commerce of the United States and Canada, 3,000,000 of American people with all these enormous aud valuable territories iu their possession started on a career of business advancement ami civilized development, while far away to the north, these 200,000 people thinly scatter;'1 regions infinitely more sterile ami inhospitable also, commenced their existence under the auspices ot ti.e L»itish Crown.One hundred ami twenty years have elapsed, ami what has beeu ihe fate of each of these 0Mt>panics of people ?The three millions of United States people have become 60,000,009, the increase being twenty told.The £00,000 of Canadians, partly French, and \"partly K ig-iUh in 0.the increase b-iug twenty-five fold.Wo have in-creased more rapidly in population.Instead of being slow and unprogressive, v/elj ive increased at a greater rale that our neighbors.It is impossible to maks any co npari sou with regard to trade, commerce, value of products, or what not, fur the s.iuie period, and I iqerelv make ibu comparison in order to show the great fqlly of estimating our couutry by its mere mileage, and so liii-iug ourselves open to most undeserved reproach.We have not the same kind of territory iu many respects as our neighbors, but of such resources, as Providence has given us, we have made the very he>t use.And to prove that we are not a alow, uuprogreasivo ami unenterprising people, but a people of rapid growth ami extraordinary «levelopinent\u2014(es-jciully «luring ihe last 50years) \u2014 I will put few ligures which are taken from statistics that can be relied on.I say that can be Jrelied on, and 1 will try to make right use of \u2022 them.It was Lord Palmerston, I think, that once said that nothing told so many lies ai figures unless,\" he added humorously, \u201cit be facts.\u201d Now the figures and facts 1 am about to give you are reliable, and they demonstrate two things.First : That Canada forty years ago had a large amount of undeveloped resources, and the next,\tthat during that time we have developed them to a very surprising degree.We have had banking returns published by our Government for about 40 years.These returns are reliable beyond «(uestion.Now, what ,000,000.These deposits now amount to 70,000,000 ! an astonishing development indeed, you will say.For bear in mind, that these figures are not swelled with enormous sums deposited by the people of England in our banks as was the case with Australia.These $270,000,000 belong to the people of Canada, and whence has it come ?What has it grown out of ?What has been the origin ?The $13,000,000 was all that the people hatl saved up to that time out of their labors iu developing Canadian soil, Canadian forests, Canadian mines and Canadian fisheries.And now we have pushed our cultivating of the soil, our clearing of the forest, our creation of farms, our development of mines aud fisheries, and of manufactures, till the fifteen millions have grown to two hundred and seventy millions in forty years ! The whole increase representing what has been drawn out of this territory which was once thought to be \u201conly a few arpents of snow !\u201d It is apparent that the increase in wealth in Canada has been more than ten times much as the increase in population.Take another set ot figures ;\tthe loans and discounts of the banks forty years ago were about $30,000,000.They are now $202,000,000.Now what do these figures re present?They very largely represent the stores and stocks of all sorts of merchandise, both imported aud produced in the country, and being subjected to the processes of commercial development.The business of our merchants, traders aud nfanufacturers has developed in forty years io such an enormous extent as is represented by the change from thirty millions to two hundrel millions! Now, as the population has increased during the same period iu nothing like the same pro portion, it follows that the population of Canada now, man for man, woman for woman, is possessed of enormously more money than it was forty years ago, and does enormously more trade than it «H 1 forty years ago, all which demonstrates that the people of Canada during the last forty years have not been slow and unprogressivc, but have progressed at an astonishingly raphi rate, and their power of making money, accumulating wealth, and increasing business, in fact in developing to' the very highest point the opportunities p\u2019aced around them, in cultivating the soil, in felling the forest, delving the mine, fishing in lake and sea, and turning every resource of the country, both natural and artificial, to the very best advantage.I say all this demonstrates a progression which, if ever paralleled, we should like to hear of.There is, however, another aspect of this matter.In addition to the large expansion of the discounts of banks, which demonstrate an enormous increase in the mercantile bust ness of the countiy, there has also been even a greater development in the business of the companies who lend money on mortgage Now, in nothing has there been greater inis apprehension than in the bearing of these mortgages.They are supposed to be an indi cation of backwardness and of poverty.{ will try to show you they are nothing of the kind.When landholders in a couutry like England, that was improved to its utmost development hundreds of years ago, borrowed money on their estates, as they often have done, to make up for tho extravagant ex penditure they have carried on, nothing can be clearer than the fact that t he mortgage is an indication of poverty.But it is entirely different in a country like Canada, where there has been a constant process of creating property out of a wilderness of woods and forests.Almost the whole of the work of turning these immense stretches of forest into farms and valuable remunerative pro perties, has been by borrowing money on mortgage, and the properties that hare been created are well known c> bs worth vastly more than the money borrowed on them, I speak, of course, in general terms, making ullowatioe for particular exceptions.It is well known that these Loan Companies never lend more than half, and in very many cases only one third, of the vilue of the properties they lend upon.Taking lli it as a basis, let us see to w hat result it leads.The whole of the loans of the Mortgage (Companies forty years ago was about $3.000,000.That would represent properties worth from $6,000, 000 to $8,000,0 )0.In addition to that I ha>rc Prepare for Cool Evening\u2019s .IJY USING.FIBRE CHAMOIS to inwline a blazer, cape or wrap

panics they have loaned on property the sum of $110,000,090, w hich represents a value, all created during the last forty years out of the wilderness of our forests aud woods, of $230,000,000.The surplus, over and above encumbrancas, of these properties forty years ago, was about $12,000,000.The surplus now is $140,000,000, all of which is ow ned by the inhabitants of this country, as indeed is more than one-half of the money loaned, itself.But putting that aside, it is evident from these returns of the mortgages, that properties to the amount of about $250,000,-000 have been created out of what was form erly a wilderness, an evidence of the truth of what used to be uiuimed of Canada, that it was a country of great future resources.But now you are all wondering, doubtless, why nothing

regions as soon as the United States did theirs?forget ting that the prairie regions of the United States were a thousand miles nearer than those of Canada are, that they directly ad joined the great cultivatable regions of the older Western States, and that the wave of emigration met w ith no obstacle whatever iu going over from the cleared lands of Ohio, In diaua an
